Fate

Chapter 2

 "So its a deal?"

"Good...we'll meet tomorow for further clearance"

That was the umpteenth call Justin had picked,ever since he got married to Sandra he focused all his attention to his business with all the pain and bitterness he had for leaving the love of his life,  and now he was travelling back home with his wife sandra, they had left the country after being married for some business Mr Kriss; Justin's father wanted done.

It was now about 7 years since them being marriage. He didn't love her at all but only did agree to it for the business his father wanted. They consummated their marriage after a complete one month,not that they even slept in the same room, everyone had there separate room but as years went by Sandra fell inlove with Justin.

I mean who wouldn't,he was every woman's dream and were it not for her effort they would have never gotten intimate. Justin only longed for Stacey but never even once his wife everytime he slept with his wife his mind was thinking of Stacey.

Mrs kriss had pressured him on having grandchildren and he had no other option but to lay with his wife .But she never really got pregnant.Fortunately....Justin was happy about that  but he knew his mother would not really  be happy about it.

They were now going back home ,this meant they were going to share a room , act like they are in love how  the thought of it made him feel sick .

The silence between the two married couple was immence.Sandra's mind wondered... when will this man will ever come to love her ,they had been close for years now but he was still cold towards her always busy with business , but of course her mother had told her what to expect , she knew she was getting involved in a bussiness deal for her family ,but this did not stop her from having hopes on having a lovely fairytale with prince charming.

Her mother- in-law pressure on them having a child really stressed her, she knew she had to act fast find a reason as to why it had taken them so long to have a child , before everyone else come to know of the truth, and now her mother in law was presuring them for a child.

She looked around trying to find solutions on what to do before they arrive. Noticing   Justin was still picking his never ending calls she excused herself for a brief call to her mother.

There arrival home was received with a grand party, Mrs Kriss disapointment was clear to everyone when she realised Sandra was not expectant and they had no child yet, Mrs Kriss had really set her hopes high  once her son was married. Later the two Mrs Kriss had a chat with sandra ,  she had noticed that her son wasn't so close to his wife all through the party there act totally didnt fool Mrs Kriss , one look at her son and she knew something was amiss.

"Am really excited you guys are back I had really missed my son" Mrs Kriss beamed.

" thank you mum...am happy to be back as well" Sandra said with a smile.

"Anyway how are you two doing, I know you were married under strange circumstances, but I hope you two are happy"

"Yes we are trying our best although we have been having issues trying to get a child"

"Oh honey dont worry, you will get one sooner or later,  I just cant wait to see that little one running around the house"

Sandra felt a pang of guilt as she recalled the conversation she had with her mother as they travelled back home.

  "Sweetheart don't let that worry you just tell them you are pregnant"her mum said to her from the other line.

  "But mum ..am not what then if they found out am not" sandra said worriedly.

 "Well they wont find out'

 "How mum?" She was now confused.

  "Because you will lose it after two months, honey you have to keep that marriage if you want to please your dad,you have too" her mother sternly said to her.

Sandra had a complicated relationship with her mother.Well she had always been a spoilt brat but her mother had been a mastermind behind every evil plan they did together.

Her mother wanted her to act pregnant for two months then lose it through some other crazy act , it would be an advantage to her it would bring Justin closer to her  she thought to herself this will make him  love her, her mother had said,  but it's risky what if she cant pull the act and they found out it will just destroy everything , no ;she had to think quick : her mother-in-law was gazing on her wondering what could be going through her mind.

 "Uuum there something that i haven't told Justin yet mum" she begun abit nervous
   
"What is it you can always talk to me darling" Mrs Kriss said in a caring tone.

  "It's something to do with our situation, well you see mum after realising our failed attempts to get a baby I enquired from my doctor what could be the problem ,and the doctor said one of us could be infertile" she said feeling terible for what she had just started,tears forming in her eyes was she going to tell her the truth.

  "Oh no darling dont cry ,its fine if you cant have children you  can always try other ways" Mrs Kriss said trying to hide her disapointment.

"No,  its not me am not the one who is infertillle" sandra found herself speaking too quick to change her mother in law from thinking she was infertile , she couldnt tell the truth.

"It's Justin" tears fell from her eyes even more she was a really good at faking " I took the test and the doctor found there's nothing wrong with me i did try to ask Justin to go with me to the doctor but it wasn't succesful.This only meant one thing" she wiped her tears as Mrs Kriss stared at her in disbelief.

"I couldn't tell him what i had found out, I didn't want him to worry..... please promise me you won't say anything to him, I want to be the one to tell him mom" she pleaded, " promise me"
   
"Okay"

"Thanks mom" she said hugging her so tight ,after lying straight to her face, there was really no difference now between her and her mother, she was just like her mother . The two were in a deep hug  they didn't notice Justin  walking towards them.

"I see you too are catching up quite fine" he interupted their moment.

 "Oh son didn't notice you, we were just having a mother-daughter-in -law chat....let me  excuse you two... have fun'" Mrs Kriss said walking away as he pat his son on the back.

"What were you telling my mother" he snarled.

"Nothing" she replied glancing at the floor.

This was there relationship like a boss and his servant sandra had to agree to everything Justin said, she never defied him ever since she once  tried that and things didn't end well for her.

 "Dont you dare tell her anything about our marriage ,that will show we are not fine you hear me?"
 
"Yes "

"Good now come lets go have a dance" he held out his hand to her.

They danced first as everyone else joined them it seemed so romantic Sandra head laying on Justin chest listening to every beat of his heartbeat, as she fantasised that they were in love, the two stared at each other as they danced like two people who were strongly inlove ,  stacey placed her lips on Justin as they were getting closer and closer, Justin kissed her back as their lips locked in the presence of everyone, Sandra kissed him so passionately that he had to kiss her back with the same energy.

Justin had never kissed her so good before , she felt in love and that justin loved her back,  she felt satisfied, she was so lost in the kiss that they only stopped when the invited guests started clapping and cheering.
