The days passed by and both of the sides remained stubborn. Nor Edwin was ready to talk to Celeste and Celeste always got furious even after listening to just his name. If he let her see once her heart would have calmed down.

The torture of never letting her see was too much for her to handle. She does not know in what condition he is in. Even Celeste is not aware of the fact that his lower limbs are not working and he needs to depend on others for locomotion.


The decision is not bad either. He will become a burden instead of sharing her worries and he does not want that at all cost.

Early in the morning, Carissa woke up due to dizziness. It's been days since she is not feeling well and now the headache is also becoming severe. Due to the pile of work and the matters regarding Celeste has made her so busy that she has been neglecting herself. Even Noah felt it too. That's he was not in the favour of her working in the office anymore. She looked beside and saw an empty and cold bed. She cursed inside the head because now when they are married they are not giving each other time at all. Sometimes, he is so busy that there is no time to sleep and sometimes she is. The situation for them is rough too.

Carissa dragged herself to the bathroom and freshened up lazily. The time was passing by fast but her body was not working as she wanted it to be and it was frustrating.


She dressed into a formal suit ready for the office and when Carissa came downstairs for breakfast Noah was waiting for her at the table. Carissa came with a little pale face and took small steps as she came to sit beside him at the table. Noah glanced at her indifferent attitude but remained quite.

These days even the small conversations end with arguments and he does not want to spoil her or his own mood this early in the morning.


Noah spread a nutella her favourite on the toast and put it in her plate. She only glanced at the food when she gobbled it up before and even fought with him and snatched his piece away too.

Her attitude could not stop him from asking, "You look unwell." He observed her pale face and instantly became concerned.

"I don't have an appetite." Carissa said while resting her head at the headrest and waited for him to finish the breakfast so they could leave for the office. But the smell coming out of the food was nauseating and suffocating her and it was a matter of time for her to throw up.

Noah placed his hand on hers softly but when their eyes met with each other a darkness flashed past them. And that darkness scares the shit out of her. "Still, eat a little bit. Otherwise I will not let you go to the office". He threatened and said in a very strict tune.

But his tone aggravated her. She was already feeling very frustrated and now he was putting the fuel on the fire. "Don't force me Mr. Noah Whites." She frowned, glaring at him instantly.

Noah clenched his teeth tightly that even his jaws twitched hard. He ignored her tantrum, picked up the piece of bread and before Carissa could react he stuffed the piece in her mouth forcefully.

"HEY". She shouted while wiping the traces of chocolate on the mouth.

He once again ignored her, gaining a glare in response, "Eat up". Noah roared and this time her fragile heart could not bear the insult. She wanted to run away but where?

The moisture welled up in her eyes but she swallowed down that salty water and half heartedly Carissa stuffed her mouth hurriedly. "If you are done, then let's go. I am getting late". She avoided his eyes so Noah could not find the tears in her eyes.

"Okay". He picked up his things for the office.

Carissa felt more nauseous, due to forceful eating and sitting in the car was giving her motion sickness. Everything kept on building up and when she could not tolerate it anymore she shouted, "Please stop the car". She said in a rush to the driver. Driver immediately pulled over at the road side and she stormed out of it, and vomited at the corner. Noah was quite flustered with the happening right now. He got out of the car immediately followed her and squatted beside her and rubbed her back. She felt dizzy and a severe headache followed her. She was about to fall but he held her, "Here" and passed her a bottle of water. Noah waited for her to calm down and when she felt fine, he helped her in standing up and suggested. "Let's go to the hospital". He held her elbow and helped her in walking towards the car.

Carissa stopped in her tracks, "No". She denied immediately, "I have to get done some very important things at work. Everyone must be waiting for me at the meeting. I cannot go anywhere besides the office".

Her words were enough to shoot up his anger.

"Nothing's more important than your health". Noah said in an authoritative manner. "I am not listening to any of your f**king excuses. We are going to the hospital and that's it." He was literally going to drag her to the hospital.

Carissa was very troubled. It is very difficult to get him to agree with him on something, she clung to his arm and put on false expressions and acted fine  "How about we go to the hospital in the evening. I promise I will go then but hubby..... please not now". She was about to hang to his legs.

He had no choice but to listen. Noah looked at her helplessly. "Please". She made puppy eyes and said again.  

But he needs a security who knows when she will get away from her words. "Promise?" he asked, confirming once again as his eyes tried to find sincerity in her grey orbs.

"Yes." She assured him. "We can go to the hospital in the evening".

Noah sighed deeply and helped her in getting in the car. The rest of the drive was covered in complete silence and concern.

After sometime the car halted in front of her office, "If you don't not feel well, call me and if you dare to avoid my calls I will seriously come and take you out of here." He said the same thing 26 time in the last 20 minutes. "Even if you are in the bathroom , receive my calls."

"Okay". She replied in a formality and if she will retort back who knows what will happen next.

But during the whole day she really remained drowsy, and unwell. She regretted her decision of not going to the hospital in the morning. Now, she cannot tell him too. Otherwise, he will scold her.

In the evening, he was waiting for her outside. As soon as she came ,they went to the hospital. "Come with me". The doctor said to Carissa and took her for some tests, leaving Noah behind. He was worried and nervous. When the doctor was done with the check up, she looked at Noah and Carissa with sparkling eyes, "The result of the tests will be out tomorrow but...."

This made them nervous again. "What's wrong?" he asked impatiently.

The doctor chuckled at their expressions, "Don't be so scared, it's just.... according to my experience there are 95% chances that your wife is pregnant. About the rest, we will be sure after seeing the results".

Both of them looked at the doctor in surprise,  in disbelief like they have not heard correctly.

"Congratulations". The doctor spoke once again, making them come back to reality.

Confirming that it is right, his lips curled up into  a beautiful smile and he looked at her still surprised face. "Let's go". After coming out of the hospital in the park, he pulled her into a bear hug, "I am so happy today". He said with gratefulness. "I always dreamed of this day. Thank you for turning it into a reality". He said but pulled away from her, noticing that she is not saying anything. Noah looked at her face which was covered in tears. "Is something wrong? We can go back to the doctor".

She held his hand making him stay, "I am fine. I just don't know what I am feeling right now. It feels weird".

He sighed, "Are you not happy?"

"Of course, I am". She looked at him with tearful eyes, "I feel so lucky".

He laughed at her cute face and again pulled her into a hug. "You really know how to snatched the earth away from my feet". Always making him worried. "Now, you will have to listen to me , okay?"

She nodded her head staining his shirt with her tears.
