20 Mistress and Mother inlaw

"This is becoming interesting… I am damned to have met this family..." she could not help but cursed loudly that thinking to what extend she was being humiliated. A mistress walks in and out of the Mayor family as if she owns the place.

She preferred to walk all the way to the main house and left her car outside the gate. She didn't want her arrival to be announced at all. At the gate, the guards allowed her to come in without informing the rest of the people. They were used to it already. She always doesn't like her presence to be announced sometimes.

Walking hurried, she arrived just in time to see Martin's mom welcome Aliya all smiles.

"It must be hard for you…. You should've called and ask for help from the guards. My grandson is taking a toll on you…" Mother in law was so sweet to the mistress that it was sickening to watch.

"So she knew Aliya was expecting her grandson… they all knew about her" looking at their sweet interactions, it seem she was the daughter in law they wanted. She could not help but scoff at the different treatment. When she was pregnant, she didn't seem too happy about welcoming her children. Was it a good thing she lost the baby then? Was the heavens saving them from all the shame and embarrassment they would've faced in the future?

She turned to leave only to hear another shocking news

"Martin will be coming over for dinner and he was expecting to see you here… I am happy its you who is carrying his child. It would've been a shame for that spoilt princes to have his child… Thank goodness we took care of it early enough..?"

The hand holding on to her handbag tightened the tiny twinkling metal at the corner piercing her hand painfully. Her heart tightened looking her composure. She felt she could not break as her body almost gave way. She took small staggering steps away from the door walking back ways. Of all the things she expected, that was the last one.

She could not breath, her airways were tightened as she walked slowly and then hurriedly away from the compound. The further she walked away from the mansion the more she lost her vision. She was losing focus and her strength...

She walked past the guards and were surprised to see her coming out as soon as she got there. Looking at her, the oldest guard was concerned. He could see her lost look. She seemed to be sick. Her face was pale and she was staggering.

"Ma'am, are you okay? Should I call the doctor?" he tried to talk to her but all she heard was an annoying ringing sound. She just shook her head and walked past them..

She went to her car and waited for a minute and drove away. She wasn't in a great state to drive but she still did. It was late afternoon she lost focused at some point while driving and almost hit an oncoming vehicle. She parked at the side of the road and called for help. She didn't even realize whom she called. By the time Jeff arrived, it was almost too late. She was not breathing well and had to be rushed to the hospital.

They did a quick first aid and placed her on oxygen… she stayed overnight at hospital. By the time she woke up, it was Sunday afternoon. At her side of the bed was Jeff in his hospital gown. It seem he brought her to their hospital

"Hey there sleeping beauty… you scared the hell out of me… what were you doing in the middle of nowhere all alone?" He had been pondering for a long time. What happened to her? What was she doing there? She almost had a heart attack. She wasn't asthmatic but her airways were blocked

"How did I get here…? I called someone to pick me up… was it you" her memory was foggy and she could not remember whom she called. She just pressed a number on her phone

" … you called me. I am glad you did… now get some rest" patted her shoulder and walked away from the room. The reception had asked whether to call her family but her husband number was not going through when they tried to call last night.

Her phone rang several times at night but no one picked… Jeff went to the point of switching it off completely so she could get enough rest. He came back 20 minutes later with food he knew she liked. Though she seemed pale and out of her normal self, he still forced her to eat..

Around 7 pm in the evening, Martin came rushing with his body guards in the hospital looking for his wife. At the reception, they looked at him and shook their head after directing him to the room number. She was deep asleep by the time he got there

" What kind of a man does not pick his phone when he is called over an emergency?" one of the nurses at the reception asked the other. They knew the couple. This was not the first time they admitted the wife with the absence of her husband

" Maybe he was busy. Or out of town…" the other nurse answered looking at the document in her hand.

" Do you know she lost her children few years back and it was the same case. We called husband again and again but he didn't show up until the next day. It was really traumatic to her. I remember her painful cried during the night when she thought everyone was asleep. Going through all that alone must've been sad and painful." She explained to the other nurse clicking her tongue

" That's none of your business.. you want the supervisor to find you talking about the governor and his wife. Besides, we are forbidden talking about these patients private issues

" Whatever… Its not like I am lying"

At the end of the corridor, Jeff who was going to see her , heard everything tightening his fist. He didn't get to go back to the room and went to his office. Since he brought her to the hospital, he had not left except bringing her food and change of clothes from her suite. He was glad she had a second home he could go.
