Chapter 7 7(unexpected visitor)

We got back from the honeymoon a week earlier due to an emergency at Aaron's work. I was glad we were back because I was bored out of my mind. He was doing work all the while we were there, and when I asked about visiting some places, he said I could go by myself. I thought maybe he's just stressed about having to leave his job to go on honeymoon, but was I wrong? As soon as we got back, he completely ignored me, and I barely see him for more than thirty minutes in a day, although we share a room.

He comes back late when I am already asleep and leaves when I am still struggling to get out of bed. At first, I kept myself busy getting to know the help and exploring the house, but it got boring with nothing else to do, and I am not allowed to work, apparently it was written in the contract, which I must have missed when signing and I don't know to do now.

Hearing a car pull into the garage, I wondered who it was, knowing Aaron doesn't come back at this time.

"Oh, you are back early."

"Shot, you scared me, I forgot you live here now"

"Then how have you slept beside me every day for the past month"

"Yeah, but I am too tired to focus on who's there.

"Ok, I want to talk to you about something."

"Not now, please. I am exhausted and just want to sleep.

"But it can't wait because I don't know when I will be able to catch you since you are always busy.

"Fine, what is it?

"I need a job, a hobby, or something to keep me busy, it gets boring having nothing to do but talk to the help every day."

"You know that's against the contract, right?

"Yes but...

"No, it's not happening." Shutting me down before I could say anything.

"Come on, I can't spend the next year like this; I will go crazy. We have to change that clause at least.

"I will think about it." I was about to protest when the doorbell rang, leaving him to check who it was since it's the first time we've had any visitors since we got married.

Opening the door, I was shocked to see who was behind the door

"What in the double-banked shit is going on here" said the strange girl, who looks exactly like me.

"Who are you and why do you look like me" the girl demanded, like she didn't just knock on my door.

"Excuse me, this is my house; I should be asking you that.

"Who is at the door, Lenah?" Aaron called out to me

"Oh my God, what is going on here, and who is this?" He asked

"I don't know either. I am as shocked as you

"So are you a long-lost twin or what?" He asks her

"I don't know, you tell me, Sherlock," she snaps

"Ok, let's come down. What's your name, and what brings you here?

"I am Delah and I came to tell the idiot over there he's going to be a father.

"What?" Aaron asks as my eyes widen in shock

"Yes, don't you remember we met at a bar two months ago and we had a one-night stand? Well, I got pregnant

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember you at all.

"We were both drunk, but I remember who I saw when I woke up.

"I won't be accepting any child until I prove it's mine.

"Fine, we can go for a test then, but you have to man up and take responsibility after the truth is revealed"

"Excuse me," he said, walking out, leaving me with her

"Ok, so while we try to settle that, why don't we try to solve the mystery of why we look alike? Why don't you come in?

"You are relatively calm about this situation, how are you related to him anyway?

"He's my husband," I responded.

"Husband !

"Yes, any problem," I answered as her confident face changed to panic

"No, I am just shocked at the way you are reacting to the news I just dropped."

"Don't worry about that, so were you ever told that you have a twin or something.

"No, I am the only child of a single mother, she's a businesswoman and owns a big company."

"Ok, then maybe we can do a DNA test to check if we are related," I said

"Ok, give me a call whenever you are ready, and we will go for all the tests, as for now, I have to leave." She puts her number into my phone before leaving

As soon as she's gone, I go in search of Aaron; I haven't seen him since she dropped the news.

"Is she gone? He asks as he paces the room, frustrated.

"Yes

"Look, I am not the father of the child.

"I never said you were," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"The way you are looking at me doesn't say so

"What do you want me to say that I completely believe, knowing your past?

"What do you mean by my past? I have not slept with anyone since we got married. She is definitely lying and just trying to get money from me

"We have been married for almost two months now, so the math kind of matches up, so don't paint her as a lier yet, and did you look at her clothes? Does she look like someone who begs for money?

"Where are you going? He asked after seeing me pick up my bag.

"To visit my mom, so I will see you later.

❤❤❤❤

I called out to her as I walked into the apartment, "Nanny, where are you?

"I'm in the kitchen," she calls out

"Lenah what are you doing here? I am not expecting you to be out of your honeymoon phase yet," she said, hugging me as I walked in and going back to washing the dishes

"Nanny, I have a question for you, and I need you to be truthful about it.

"Hmm ok

"Do I have a twin sister? Am I your real daughter?" I asked, watching her reaction as she stopped what she was doing.
