"So what if I did?" Now that he had admitted it, he didn’t care. "You’re my wife, always thinking about another man, and ignoring your husband. Shouldn't I be mad?""And the girls constantly calling you out? Shouldn’t I be mad too?" She bit her lip, glaring at him."If you’re mad about that, I’d be happy. It means you care.""So you used those girls to test me?""No!" Hearing the sharpness in her voice, he quickly explained. "Lucia Coes, I never intended that. I changed my personal number.

"Colleagues here have all graduated from prestigious universities and been professionally trained. Surely you understand the phrase ‘know when to stop’?"Phaimary’s cold voice cut in from the doorway.The male employee quickly excused himself, leaving just as Arbesa returned to her desk, head lowered.****After lunch, Arbesa leaned on the sink, dry heaving.Her pale face reflected in the restroom mirror.She was pregnant...Staring at herself, she acknowledged the reality.Yes, she was pregnant!She would be twelve weeks along next week.Over a month ago, when she bought the pregnancy tests, each result was a clear positive, telling her this wasn’t a dream.Initially, she had felt joy.But how to handle this "souvenir" of a night of indulgence?
