My Billionaire Husband

She couldn't believe she was finally doing this. She stopped by a chemist on her furious drive back to the house. She looked down at her hands, which were slightly shaking. She'd purchased a pregnancy kit, but now that it was actually time for her to pee on it, she was chickening out.

"Was I really ready for the result?" She asked herself, having many thoughts running through her head. She was afraid to face reality because she knew she was still under an amnesia state. She just can't help to fall for him because he had the most handsome face among those people she met.

"F.u.c.k this," She muttered as she shakily pulled down her pants and peed on it. Please, please, please, she whispered softly. What was she actually hoping for, though? She didn't want it to be positive, but somehow she'd already wrapped her mind around the concept of being pregnant. But with the way Maddie had reacted, she got disappointed. She really wanted them to work out as a happy couple, not the one she knew back then her parents have. Aargh! This was frustrating for her.

She placed the stick on the sink as she slowly cleaned herself. "How long did pregnancy tests take?" She flushed as she took multiple breaths, her heart was beating so loud, and she couldn't even hear herself.

"Shit! Why should it be like this? Why did he acted so jerk? A husband and wife should be happy and looking forward to having children!"

She closed her eyes, screaming internally, she was so nervous and didn't want to look, but somehow she peaked at the stick. The two lines she was seeing were so evident. She was pregnant! She grabbed the stick in disbelief, was she happy or sad?

She didn't know, and somehow she expected this, all the signs were pointing to this, but is she happy? She slowly walked out of the bathroom, stuck in hand, moving like a zombie. She barely registered the plump lady standing across from her.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't think you were around-" her words sounded so far away. "I'm pregnant!" only this thought keeps coming in her mind.

"Honey, are you okay?" her warm hands gripped her, firmly yet gentle, bringing her back to earth.

"I'm pregnant," She said it so softly, and she wasn't sure she heard it, heck she didn't even hear her.

"You're pregnant?" she shouted happily, her face beaming as she glanced at the stick in her hand as if to confirm the news. Hearing it coming from another mouth made it so real, so she couldn't help but break down crying.

She pulled her into her warm embrace silently and slowly patted her back. It was a bit awkward since she wasn't exactly used to receiving hugs from strangers, but she needed her warm embrace right now to console her heart.

"I don't think Maddie will want me to keep this pregnancy." She finally muttered once she'd calmed down still in her embrace.

"That's nonsense, sweetheart. Why are you saying that?" The old man asked.

Her question just made her start crying again. She rubbed her back in soothing circles. When she finally calmed down again, she led her to the couch, took the stick from her hand, put it on the coffee table, then gently said, "You should tell Maddie about it. I'm sure he will be happy. I get some drink,"

The old woman quickly left her.

She leaned back her head to the couch and silently uttered to God to give her strength. What was she going to do? She was pregnant now. What was going to happen to this marriage?

She just sighed loudly and threw a silent curse against Maddie. She couldn't believe she was actually pregnant. She thought as she absent-mindedly rubbed her tummy.

"Here, some warm cocoa." The old woman returned, and she heard her saying softly.

She cracked her eyes open and looked at the cup with marshmallow toppings. She gratefully took it. She sipped and seriously felt all the problems melting away. "This is so good!" She told her blissfully. The old woman just beamed.

"I'm Judy. I don't think you heard me when I introduced myself earlier."

She blushed as she sat up a bit straighter. "Yea, sorry," she muttered sheepishly. "I'm Jiaye."

"I know. I don't believe there's anyone on this island who doesn't know you by now. The young master's wife. You're pretty famous."

"For good things I hope," She muttered as she laughed nervously. She just joined her, laughing.

"Where is your husband anyway?" She noticed how she ignored the question, and the smile slowly faltered from her mouth. She had a little debate about whether or not to tell her the story, but oh f.u.c.k it. She retold the story, and by the time she was done, Judy was laughing so hard she'd doubled over and was on the very edge of falling off the chair. She couldn't help it. Her laughter was so infectious.

Maddie must have walked in at some point. They just heard someone clearing his throat. She looked up and met Maddie's stormy gaze that went straight to her soul. He looked disheveled. "Had he walked the whole way back? Impossible," She thought silently.

"Welcome," She greeted him shakily. Her heart had started beating rapidly in her c.h.e.s.t as the thought of telling him was expectantly plagued her. Maybe he'd deny it?

"Come here, my dear boy," Judy said in between laughs as she pulled him into her embrace. She watched him hug her earnestly, and a slight pang of envy sliced through her. "Am I seriously being jealous of this old lady?" Honestly, Jiaye. She looked away, guiltily, and grabbed her cocoa, sipping it slowly.

"Jiaye, please can we talk?" Maddie called her.

She jerked slightly, perturbed at the tone he was using.

"A word, please," he walked off, clearly expecting her to follow him.

She stomped her feet following him, albeit reluctantly. She glanced at Judy, and she smiled at her. She grabbed her hand as she passed by and squeezed it reassuringly. She tried to smile, but she can't help not to worry.

She followed Maddie into the bedroom and shut the door softly behind her. He sat quietly, watching her and not saying anything, which just tightened the knot in her stomach.

"Did you walk back?" She asked him softly, adding a burst of nervous laughter.

"No.," he answered her softly, not giving her any more details. His eyes pierced through her, and suddenly she felt like prey. He sighed loudly, and she watched as his features completely softened up and brightened when he smiled.

"I'm sorry. Honey, I didn't mean to offend you," He said sheepishly as he stood and came over to her. He rubbed her arms gently and squeezed.

"I know I said some hurtful words, and I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions, I didn't think you'd be so s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e,"

Somehow that irked her, and he continued undisturbed,

"I was just scared for a moment that you'd be, you know," now he seemed nervous, "pregnant..." he let those words hang in the air. She twisted her hands nervously.

"I'd like to make us work, we do work, I just want us to be..." he fumbled about for the right word, "happy, not on such shaky grounds-"

"I'm pregnant." She suddenly blurted out.
