Ever since Althea Evans's parents passed away from a horrific accident, her life turned upside down. Thea is not expecting to live a life like this. To be married with a stranger who hates all her guts, to fulfill her parents last wish before they d...
Another day another life at home, doing nothing but sleep. It has been 3 months since I took a break from work, things had been different since then. Bella, Greyson, and I did a group call every once in a while, basically them filling me in on all the things that I have missed at work. Bella fills my position as an advisor for a while until I get back to work. Sometimes I got jealous that they have a life at work while I do nothing at home.
"We got a brand new coffee machine in the pantry, and oh Boss is throwing another gathering party in his house soon" Grey said as we talked on the group call during their lunch break.
I wished I didn't have to take a break from work, I'm only 17 weeks pregnant and I can definitely do the work. I no longer experience morning sickness for the last 2 weeks so I should have been fine to work actually. But knowing Arthur, he got a bit overprotective over me. I get that he didn't want me to stress over work and stuff, but sometimes it gets a bit too much.
"We have missed you, Thea. Work feels different without you" Bella said it this time.
I smiled. "I have missed you both two, and I definitely miss being at work"
Arthur had gone to work earlier this morning, and as usual I'm left in the house, trying to do anything productive. Sometimes I get stress just being at home all the time. I tried everything to kill the time. Read books, watch TV, bake some cakes, but nothing lessen the stress of being kept at home.
I was going to read another book when I received a text from Tony.

I was ecstatic. Not only that I can finally get out of the house after a while, Celine is in town too, it has been a while since I last met her. And the three of us can finally reunite again after years.
I texted Arthur to ask him if I can go today, I waited for his reply but he called me instead.
"Can I go please?" I asked once I answered his phone call.
"Darling, you know you need to rest"
I let out a sigh as I heard that sentence again. "Arthur, I've been resting for weeks"
"I know, darling, but you heard it yourself that Mum told you to-"
"Avoid heavy physical activities, I know" I cut off his words as I'm getting tired to hear that excuse. "But being at home for weeks stresses me more than anything"
"Thea, please understand that I'm doing this because I'm worried about you"
"There's nothing to worry about me, I'm just going to meet my friends, not going on a war"
Sometimes it annoys me whenever Arthur forbids me to go outside, or do 'physical' activities like I'm the most fragile person in the whole world. I know he is like that because he cares for me- which I'm grateful for, but he needs to calm down for a bit.
