Affair

Daphney POV

“Smile for me darling that's it, happy days are awaiting.” The photographer says as we move to take our pictures.

My mother texted me saying she wanted to have lunch with me and Max, so I showed him the text he nods and smiles at the photographer to which she direct at us with a worried expression.

“Are there more pictures to be taken? We are needed to introduce the family at the wedding. They have no idea as to what is going on.” Max asked her when she shakes her head and her hands as a goodbye right after giving him the information as to where to go to get the pictures and payment.

“Ready?” Max asks me as I take my purse for the billion times on my shoulder, we took off to the building from the mini-park that was really nearby, where my mom was waiting with everyone else, I wave at everyone and so does Max.

“Finally we can go upstairs you say this will be a mini surprise well let us get a move on I am dying to learn what it is all about!” My mother states that Max’s mom also agrees to this as we enter we are welcomed by Orlando, which catches me off guard, he is our waiter for the rest of the night and I’m actually quite happy, he was an excellent service to my cause.

That night was the most beautiful night I had with everyone I loved but today is a very special day as well, I’m in the waiting room of the OBGYN. Last night I couldn't stop throwing up and Max said that we need to go to the hospital tomorrow to meet a good friend of his, but he is more than positive that I am pregnant.

“Daphne?” The nice nurse asks from a room.

Walking with Max on my side we arrive in the room, I sit on the bed as he sits on the chair right next to me. We wait for a couple of moments to meet the doctor, in comes a woman by the last name of Bill, irony in this is beyond reason, she checks my uterus for anything when we come across a tiny size of a bean. I squiz Max’s hand when I notice he is crying on my side as I am as well.

“Is that our baby? Daphne, we are having a baby!” I hear Max scream, jump in joy and do his little happy dance.

“Seems you are still very early in your seventeen weeks, but reaching the half of the pregnancy. We can actually wait two weeks for your next visit to know what you will be having or will you have a baby revealing gender?” the doctor asks us both when Max answers for me.

“We will ask our grandmothers to be, I’m sure they will love to know what to do and we will let you know as soon as possible. May I make that call?” The doctor smiles at him and moves away from his way.

Once Maxwell is outside the doctor takes a couple of pictures and prints some of them for me to then turn on the lights. When she rolls back to me she looks at me straight forward. “Daphne I know you two are really happy but as a doctor that specializes in this I need to ask you, are you safe at home? Does he treat you right? Has he ever hit you?” I blink fast at how easily she changed the subject when I realise that one of the laws of agreement is that this is appropriate and it's just her job, or at least that is what I wanted so strongly to accept as the truth.

Maxwell never raised his hands on me, but he did do one awful thing in the life we had. Something I wish was just a nightmare. After I gave birth to our first daughter Avril, we had max and now I’m expecting Leo. It was such a happy day for me too, we got the house pool built-in, had my best friend Aloisa with her two daughters Elizabeth and Marie with her and my kids. Aloisa is Orlando's ex-wife with their two children. I was just getting ready after the pool yesterday to check out something that I refuse to still believe.

Victoria a nurse that works with Maxwell came to my house the other day to take some of his clothes that he has none at her place, then she changed them into his office and then again said he asked her for clothes but she didn’t have any. In my line of work for the past fourteen years I knew this is a sign of foul play, but as a professional, I never for once thought it would come to happen to me because I took all of the necessary preparations, I made sure he was always with what he wanted, needed and anything I could provide for him I would.

I’m currently in front of Victoria's house, I got her address by the front of his hospital. The reason I gave them was the truth, that I believe my husband of now fourteen years of marriage is currently having an affair with his assistant nurse, Victoria. The older lady who gave me all documents actually looked sad telling me that she has proof I am correct in my assumptions. Currently, I’m holding a picture of him with her on a small beach, he is hugging her while kissing her cheeks, and she is smiling with a tan on her skin.

Feeling my eyes are about to shut from all the crying I need to place my focus I married him when I just turned twenty-four… I’m officially thirty-eight, pregnant, and about to discover that the one man who should have loved me was living another life without me, I clean myself and make the call to a very well known attorney that is known to make everything for a divorced mother that I’m about to become much easier.
