Chapter 28

28 28. Sympathetic Pregnancy

William’s life became disorganized and messy. He often wakes up late because at night he can’t fall asleep right away. The sight of Samuel kissing his wife clouded his head. It was a nightmare for him.

Like this morning. William only woke up at thirty minutes past nine even though he had set four alarms that would go off every hour since six thirty. His athletic body became a bit fat because he lacked sleep and also because he was too lazy to move and eat too many carbohydrates.

William sat up and stretched his arms up. He was yawning in a not elegant way, making his good looks reduced by five percent. The dark circles around his eyes made things even worse. He looked more like a panda than a human.

The man then went to the bathroom to finish his morning business quickly, brushing his teeth and washing his face. While looking at the mirror, William watched as his face got worse and worse.

“Oh shit, my handsomeness has decreased to only fifty percent!” William muttered as he stroked his unshaven face. It was extremely bad. Paula would have scolded him if she found out. “If Paula finds out, she might not want to invite me to her bed anymore.”

William’s spontaneous words startled him. He didn’t think that he was still thinking about continuing his relationship with Paula while his relationship with Lea has received his parents’ blessing.

“William, brace yourself!” William muttered to himself as he patted his face. However, in his mind now it was pictured when Paula turned to him and smiled loosely.

The man’s heart fluttered gently remembering the sincere smile that was carefree and seductive. A smile that made William forget that he wouldn’t be with Paula forever. That smile made William feel his household was a normal household like most happy newly-wed couples.

William shook his head. He wanted to push the image of Paula out of his mind. Unfortunately, instead of disappearing, William remembered his intimate moments with Paula. He remembered her saying ‘Hey, naughty! Let’s make it a bit rough tonight!’ or ‘Will, can I give you a blow job tonight? I am on my period.’ or even ‘William, do you think I can give you a boob job with this size? Is it huge enough?’. Not wanting to recall everything any further, the man then chose to go to the kitchen to make a warm breakfast.

.....

The self-raising flour, eggs, milk, and a little sugar were well mixed in a bowl. William then added two tablespoons of melted butter and whisked the mixture a little more before he baked it in the hot, non-stick marble skillet-one by one.

The delicious smell of sweet and buttery pancakes filled the room. It was supposed to be a mouthwatering smell. However, strangely, a second later William felt nauseous and wanted to throw up. The man immediately ran to the toilet and cleaned his stomach because he couldn’t take it anymore.

“Oh, what happened to me?” William grumbled as he rinsed his mouth in the sink after pressing the flush button on the toilet.

In the kitchen, the smoke of scorched pancakes filled the room because William had forgotten to turn the fire off. He coughed as he put out the fire. He then closed his nose and opened all the windows of the house because the blower was no longer enough to deal with the increasingly thick and dense smoke. Luckily, the fire alarm didn’t go wild because of it.

“What a great morning, really,” said William sultry.

Strangely, again, he felt nauseous and threw up one more time. He almost had nothing left in his stomach, but the feeling of throwing up was still lingering around.

“Oh, God! What kind of punishment is this?” William was almost crying. He felt weak and messy.

Before long, William’s cell phone rang. The call was from Lea, not from Paula as William had hoped.

“Hello, Lea?” William asked, trying to suppress his nausea.

“Morning, honey! Can you have dinner at your parent’s home today?” Leah asked anxiously. “Umm, mom wants you to come to discuss some matters.”

“I’m busy, Lea! Whenever I’m free, I’ll make sure to stop by, okay?” William said in a lazy tone.

“Oh, fine then!” Lea hung up in disappointment. She didn’t understand why William had been avoiding her lately. Both parents have approved of their relationship. William’s parents even asked Lea to live with William.

Unfortunately, William still refused because he was someone else’s husband. He only wanted to stay with Lea when Paula came home. To be honest, Lea’s feelings hurt because of William’s rejection after rejection.

Because of that, finally, Lea patiently lived in the place of William’s parents. During the divorce process with Paula, Lisa and Alex would prepare for William and Lea’s wedding well. William’s parents considered this a form of redemption.

However, in William’s heart, there had never been a greater doubt than this. Concerned about Paula’s treatment made him feel like an empty vessel-as if she had used him only as a sex tool to fulfill her desires.

“Is it true, all this time Paula only wanted my body? Am I just a sex doll to that wild girl?” William muttered. This sentence would sound very ridiculous to anyone who heard it because it was usually women who complained like this-not the opposite.

To be honest, it wasn’t just William’s mind that was troubled. William’s body was currently missing Paula’s touch, he couldn’t stand it. It couldn’t be helped. They had sex almost every day. Their union has become a natural, a necessity, just as plants want water. When Paula and her touch were not around, William could only restrain himself, fighting his need for Paula’s touch.

One night, William was very upset and wanted Paula’s touch desperately. His body was very hot and his mind was filled with the image of wild sex with his beautiful and hot wife. The sound, the breath, the movement, and all the softness of Paula’s skin and the flick of her hair loomed over and whipped William. He went to the bathroom to do his business until he was powerless. Something he hadn’t done since he got married.

He was blushing, shyly touched his swelling manhood, looked at it, and looked away. He closed his eyelids and started to stroke slowly. His head was full of Paula’s smile, naughty words, and also her hot body.

He recalled the memories when they were still together. The time when he was still allowed to touch her smooth skin. The time when her breasts were only his, something he fondled with joy, something he loved to suck and lick.

The image of Paula’s body was becoming more vivid. In his head, William’s touches went to the lower part of her body. His hand stopped when he reached her intimate part and started to stimulate her with his finger. One at first and then he used two fingers.

“Right there! Good!” William recalled Paula’s usual response. He then gave her clitoral stimulation to make her go wild out of joy. William’s imagination became even more real, he was imagining Paula got an orgasm through his talented fingering technique.

“Hang in there, baby! We’re not done yet!” He murmured to himself, shutting his eyes tight.

Imagining he was thrusting inside her, William’s hands started pacing up until he reached his climax. The long and big one.

“Paula!” he screamed so loud. Although he was climaxing, his voice sounded so sad. His face expressed loneliness and longing for her presence. He missed her.

While soaking in the cold water, William thought. It seemed that, under these conditions, he would not be able to marry Lea. How could she marry Lea while his thoughts were always full of Paula?

***

In the morning, William woke up and went to the office without having breakfast. His nauseous feeling didn’t go away easily although the doctor already prescribed some medicine for him.

In the afternoon, Danica entered his office with a wide smile. She informed him of good news about Alan’s biological father.

After the charity event, William asked Danica to help the kid find his biological father. His helpful assistant then hired a private investigator.

Fortunately, the investigation turned out well. The boy’s father stayed in the city. He was an infamous business tycoon, one of William’s renowned acquaintances.

“I am glad he found his father. He must’ve been very happy,” William said, smiling sincerely.

“He was supposed to be happy. However, Miss Martha said that Alan is so sad. He was crying all day long when his father came to meet him in the orphanage,” Danica said, holding her smile.

“Why?” William’s brows furrowed.

“It turns out that his father is the father of the girl he likes. He can’t stand the reality that the girl is his half-sister,” Danica explained further, laughing out loud.

William couldn’t help laughing as well. He cursed in his head since he was expecting something more serious as the reason.

“But, anyway, I am glad that they learned the truth earlier. Can you imagine what happens if they find out about this twenty years later?” Danica’s face turned serious.

The smile on William’s face faded away. He realized the danger of hiding the kids from their biological parents.

The problem reminded him of Lea. The mystery of the baby’s father in Lea’s womb was still unsolved because Lea always refuses to tell him the truth.

Knowing he had to take an important move, William hastily said to his brunette-haired assistant, “Dani, I need information about Lea’s schedule a month ago. Who did she go to the Dynasty Hotel with?”
