It took greg a million watts of courage to say "i'll come back when it's convenient." He slammed the door.
Vanessa frowned. The greg she knew would have jumped on the opportunity to lord over her and claim what is rightfully his, instead he cowered out of the room like a virgin too shy to look at a naked painting.
She dressed up and went downstairs. One look at her and you could tell she had a date.
"Where are you going?" Greg's voice echoed from inside the wine bar in the house.
Vanessa was startled cause she wasn't expecting that he was there. She held her chest almost jumping out of her skin. "Greg you need to stop doing this!" She shouted while panting softly.
He stared at her without saying a word, he was expecting a response from her so he stared at her intensely.
"Fine! I have a date!" She announced then made a 'happy' gesture.
He leaned forward on the bar and said "you're not going." With a final note in his tone.
"What?!" Vanessa couldn't believe her ears even though she's been hearing a lot of negative response since he got here. "This is important to me greg!" She fired.
"It may be to you but it has nothing to do with my heir whom you are about to drag into your relationship with whatever'date' you have. You are not going and that's final." He said.
Vanessa almost fainted out of rage "i've had enough of this heir bullshit. It's not even an embryo yet, it's just a chunk of blood forming into life as far as biology is concerned. I am going on this date and that is final. If you want to stop me, you'd have to put a bullet in my brains!" She replied in a vicious tone, she let out all the anger and disgust she's been feeling since he got here.
He was about to respond when he noticed her face turned pale and blood trickled down her nose. "Vee are you okay?" He rushed to where she stood. He got there just in time to save her from crashing to the ground cause she lost consciousness.
Vanessa woke up to beeping sounds from a heart monitor. Her mouth felt dry and airy. She opened her eyes slowly while her vision became clearer, she looked round the room and discovered she was in a hospital ward. She felt a hand clenched on hers, she looked down and saw daemon. She frowned as she pat his hand. She choked and started coughing.
He was awaken by the sound. "Vee! You're awake!" He pressed a button on the wall and two medical personnel came rushing into the room. He was asked to wait outside. He couldn't help but paced the entire time.
Few minutes later, they were done attending to vanessa and she was checked 'well enough to be discharged'. He thanked the doctors then turned to her.
He stared at her for long without saying a word, his face was expressionless so it was hard to tell what was going on in his mind.
"You can bore a hole right through my head with that intense gaze. Your heir is fine if that's what you're about." She scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"When did it start?" He asked. His tone sounded deep but caring.
"Why do you care?" She muttered as she pulled the covers off her and sat across the bed with her feet on the ground.
He pulled a chair from a corner of the ward and sat facing her. "Your blood sugar level drops faster than normal making your blood pressure irregular in the worst ways possible, your brain shuts down at the slightest increase in the hydrochloric acid level in your stomach. What is happening to you vee?" He searched her face for answers.
"The doctor was here a minute ago, you should've fired the question at him" she replied in a sarcastic tone.
"I need answers very!" He ordered.
"And why should i care to give any to you? I don't owe you none." She shrugged after speaking.
Greg was infuriated "BECAUSE I AM YOUR HUSBAND!" He fired.
"YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ONE FOR THE PAST TWENTY FOUR MONTHS!" She yelled back in a tone filled with sadness and despair, she rushed to the bathroom and sobbed uncontrollably.
He couldn't keep back the tears that welled up in his eyes. How could he have done this to the only woman he has ever loved?
She's diagnosed of seizures and attacks that started as a result of overdosing on anxiety relief medications four years ago. After the sudden end of their marriage, vanessa fell into deep depression, her anxiety increased to a crazy level, she suffered panic attacks and lots of emotional break down. Therapy and medications were her saviour. In order to go numb, she overdosed on the anxiety relief medications which led to a problem in her nervous system causing her to have seizures when slightly provoked.
A permanent solution is emotional healing, positive energy around her and something to stop her mind from worrying too much.
Vanessa came from a strict billionaire's home. Her parents despised her and never showed her love and affection because they never wanted children in the marriage. She was nursed and raised by her nanny. So she developed fear of abandonment and few emotional issues. But all of it disappeared when she met greg, she fell helplessly in love with him the moment he showed her the slightest sign of love, care and affection. Being inexperienced and love deprived, she believed the first that came her way. When she discovered he married her just to secure his inheritance and went back to his lover barely one month of being wedded, she was devastated, all her fears and post traumatic stress disorders came back in full force. She felt betrayed, stabbed by life again, alone and afraid. She swore to deal with him.
