Chapter 51

After coming back Anna waited patiently for her husband. Hours seemed to pass in slow motion, but finally, the sound of the front door opening brought a surge of energy to Anna. She turned to see Vincent stepping inside, his tired expression transforming into a bright smile as he saw her.

"Hey, beautiful," Vincent greeted, his voice warm and full of affection. He walked over to her, enveloping her in a tight embrace.

Anna nestled into his arms, her heart swelling with love. "I have something to tell you," she said, unable to keep the excitement out of her voice.

Vincent pulled back slightly, curiosity dancing in his eyes. "What is it?"

Anna took a deep breath, her eyes locking onto his. "I'm pregnant," she revealed, her voice filled with a mix of happiness and wonder.

Vincent's eyes widened in surprise, a frown etching on his face as he ingested the news.However the next moment his face broke into a radiant smile. He pulled Anna into another hug, holding her tightly as if he never wanted to let go. "Anna, that's amazing! I can't believe it! You've given me the biggest gift of my life."

Tears of joy streamed down Anna's cheeks as Vincent kissed her forehead, his excitement matching hers. In that moment, their connection felt stronger than ever, as they shared the joyous news that their family was about to grow.

Taking a deep breath, Vincent pressed the call button. Terrance answered after a few rings, and Vincent's's voice trembled slightly as he spoke. "Terrance, there's something I need to tell you.. Annas pregnant.... I don't know what we'll do now."

"Wait.... what... congratulations?.......but that wasn't part of the plan.................."

"I know......."

"Let's wait till she gives birth than we'll snatch both the baby and the company from the Martinez." His brother suggested him earnestly.

Vincent listened to Terrance's suggestion, his mind racing with conflicting emotions. "I know revenge has been on our minds, but this involves Anna and an innocent child, my child," he replied, his voice heavy with emotion. "I need to figure out a way to protect them, even if it means putting our plans on hold."

Terrance sighed on the other end of the line. "Vincent,fine, let's not make any hasty decisions. We'll wait until she gives birth. But remember, our goal remains the same."

Vincent nodded, his determination unwavering. "I haven't forgotten, Terrance. Just be patient a little longer. We'll find a way to achieve our revenge without harming Anna and the baby."

As they ended the call, Vincent couldn't help but wonder how the cards had reversed.The path ahead was uncertain, but he was willing to do whatever it took to ensure that his unborn child was safe from the dark secrets of their shared past; just till the baby's birth.

As Anna and Vincent celebrated the news of their impending parenthood. Vincent held Anna close, his arms wrapped around her with a tenderness that he hadn't fully shown before. He couldn't help but feel a rush of conflicting emotions, a swirl of happiness, vulnerability, and a touch of guilt.

Vincent's voice was soft as he whispered into Anna's ear, "I can't believe this is happening." His eyes were bright with both excitement and trepidation.

Anna leaned into his embrace, her smile radiant. "I know, it's incredible, isn't it?"

Vincent nodded, his grip on her tightening as he felt a lump forming in his throat. "Anna, I... I never thought I'd feel this way," he admitted, his voice catching slightly. "I didn't expect to care for someone as deeply as I do for you now."

Anna's eyes softened, her gaze locking onto his. "Vincent, I feel the same way. This baby is going to change everything for us."

Vincent's smile was bittersweet, his emotions a whirlwind. "I just wish my...... mo...mother could be here to see this. She deserves to see the man I've become."Anna's hand found his, offering a reassuring squeeze.
