Episode 8

DMITRY

With Irina, everything is going well, but she still doesn't accept the hypothesis. I know she is afraid to remember the death of her mother, so I don't pressure her too much, but I still want her to try. We have been married for a month now, and in intimacy, we gain more trust every day. We enjoy going out to eat or to the park, watching movies. The renovations are now completed, and since she works here in the office, I don't miss any opportunity to make her mine.

Today she wrote to me that she wouldn't come to work, and I accepted it. Apparently, she was going shopping with Martha, and the chauffeur and bodyguards would accompany them. I didn't oppose them going out at all. She is my queen, and she can go wherever she pleases without anyone stopping her, not even me can tell her where she can or cannot go.

I had been working all morning and was about to call her to have lunch together when my cellphone rang, and it was Martha.

"Sir, you must come to the hospital," Martha spoke quickly.

"Why? What happened? Did something happen to Irina?" I asked nervously.

"She encountered a lady here at the hospital who started insulting and saying mean things to her. The security guards separated them, but the lady had a fall," Martha explained.

"I'll be there in half an hour," I replied and rushed to the hospital.

I didn't know why she was at the hospital or who she had encountered, but if someone dared to hurt her, they would pay dearly. Nobody touches my queen and lives to tell the tale.

The journey to the hospital felt endless, no matter how fast I drove, I couldn't seem to arrive, and it frustrated me. When I finally arrived, I asked for Irina and was directed to the gynecology area. When I arrived, I saw Martha waiting.

"Martha, what happened?" I asked.

"Sir, the lady convinced me to bring her for a check-up because she was afraid of having a problem and not being able to give you children," Martha commented.

"And what happened?" I inquired, and Martha smiled.

"Well, sir, maybe I shouldn't be the one to tell you this, but it turns out that the lady is pregnant. She's three weeks along," Martha said, and I couldn't believe it. I was going to be a father.

"Is she and the baby alright? You told me on the phone that she fell," I grew even more nervous.

"Sir, what happened is that the doctor not only discovered the pregnancy but also found a contraceptive implant that someone had placed in the lady's body without her permission. It seems it was done a couple of years ago, but it was no longer functioning, so the doctor removed it. However, when we left the consultation room, we bumped into a woman who saw the ultrasound report that the lady was holding, and she got furious. She said that the lady couldn't have children and that she wouldn't receive any inheritance because she had been unfaithful to her old, paralyzed husband who cannot have children. Then she approached and slapped her so quickly that the guards could barely intervene, but the lady fell. Now she is being evaluated," Martha explained, and I clenched my fists.

"Who is that woman, and where is she?" I asked, angry. If something happens to my wife or my child, I will kill her with my own hands.

"The guards already have her name and are searching for more information about her," Martha replied.

"Any relatives of Mrs. Irina Petrov?" asked a doctor.

"I am her husband," I immediately responded.

"Both Mrs. Irina and the fetus are fine. The fall didn't hit her belly, and it wasn't a severe fall, so she can go home in a couple of hours after resting a bit, with some instructions to follow," the doctor said.

"We will do whatever you say," I replied.

"Alright, follow me," the doctor led us to a room where my queen was resting. She had her eyes closed and her right hand on her belly.

"Sir, I'll head to the mansion to prepare something delicious and nutritious for Mrs.," Martha informed me, and I nodded. I didn't want to wake her.

With great care, I approached her bed and sat on a chair beside her, holding her hand. After a while, she opened her eyes and smiled at me.

"Hello, my queen, are you feeling well?" She nodded with a smile, rubbing her hand on her belly.

"I already know, my queen. Our baby is here." I kissed her belly and then leaned in to embrace her. She held onto me tightly.

"As long as I live, no one can come near you or harm you. I will always keep you safe, my queen." I kissed her and we stayed embraced for a long while, until the doctor came to check on her and gave her medical clearance.

We went home and upon arrival, Martha had a delicious meal ready for us.

"Please, madam, eat well and everything so that the baby is born healthy and strong." Martha serving more food to Irina.

"Thank you, Martha." Irina with her phone.

"That's my job, taking good care of you. Now keep on eating." Martha didn't let us get up from the table until Irina finished all the food.

"At this rate, I'm going to end up fatter than a cow." Irina comments on her phone.

"You would be the most beautiful cow." I responded and hugged her.

"Flatterer." Irina.

"My queen, will you tell me who was the woman who went crazy at the hospital?" I asked, still hugging her.

“She's my half-sister, but she was acting crazy. According to her, I wasn't supposed to have children. She claimed that my father made sure of that two years ago. I even married an old paralytic man so that I couldn't have children and they would never give me the inheritance. I have no idea what she was talking about. And to top it off, the doctor found a contraceptive implant in my arm. I don't remember ever getting one." Irina replied through her phone.

"It's strange. I will send my men to investigate everything. The implant doesn't matter anymore because you're expecting our child, but I'll still look into it for you." I expressed.

"Well, now I want to sleep a little more. Will you join me?" Irina typed.

"Yes, but you know we won't be getting much sleep, my love. First, we can play for a while, but not too much to avoid harming the baby." I commented and she blushed, nodding.

My queen is pregnant and I am the happiest man in the world. Now, no one can ever harm her. I will find out why her sister reacted so aggressively and why she had that implant. As for the inheritance her sister mentioned, there is something fishy going on, and I will uncover it all.
