CHAPTER 8

Empress

Isat Indian style in the middle of the bed waiting for my sister to answer the FaceTime call. As soon as I saw her face, my shoulders slumped. “What if I made a mistake?” I was sure that Tessa was tired of me and my whining, but she was my sister, so she had to deal with it.

“Have you taken the test, crazy girl?” she was up walking around her house, but I could tell by the deepness of her voice that she’d just woken up. I was in Thailand on a brand trip, so me and Tessa were in different time zones. I had just come back from a dinner that I could barely enjoy.

My stomach had been feeling tight and bloated all day. I wasn’t sure if I was pregnant or if my period was coming. It was something I never felt before. It didn’t hurt; it just made me feel really full as if I’d eaten a huge meal and my breasts were sore. But again, that could mean that my period was on the way. I was scared to go to the bathroom. What if I wasn’t pregnant? I had five embryos left that had been frozen, so I assumed we’d try again.

“No. I’m nervous. I might just wait until I go to my appointment. It’s in a few days.”

“Sister, I promise I love you, but you aren’t going to get on my everlasting nerves for these next few days. Take the test. If you don’t, then wondering if you’re pregnant is all that’s going to occupy your mind. You’re on a brand trip in beautiful Thailand, and you’re stressing so much that you can’t even enjoy it.”

“I know,” I pushed out a defeated sigh. “I’m going to take a shower and try and get some sleep. I’ll go get a test tomorrow. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

After I ended the call, I sat on the bed for a few minutes just staring at the floor. I hadn’t spoken to Royal since the day of the embryo transfer which had been two weeks ago. If it wasn’t about the possible baby, we really didn’t have a reason to communicate, but I thought of him every day, and I didn’t like that. The idea of being a mother was growing on me a lot. I would be getting a baby and a check out of the deal, but Royal wasn’t a part of that package. He was married, and whether he and his wife had a traditional marriage or not, she would always come before me. He got her permission for me to have a child for him. She called him while we were eating to request ice cream. She lived in the house with the man, and they were about to have twins. He may not have been head over heels in love with her, but Amber had a place in his life. And because of that, there was no room for me. I refused to be a married man’s mistress.
