Mrs Gibson Your Identity Is Exposed

Evelyn's POV

I sat in the room, the sound of my thumping heart was louder with the placidness around. As the clock ticked every moment, my body grew more intense in fear and anticipation. How long have I been sitting here? I could barely remember, but I was badly waiting for the doctor to enter the room. But even if he comes, I doubt he could dispel the unease that coiled in my stomach like a slithering serpent.

I jerked back from my seat when the door was pushed open. The doctor stepped into the room and made his way to his seat. I furrowed my brows, trying to fathom his expression in order to know my fate, but he had a serious look arched on his face as he passed a paper to me.

"What does it say?" I asked, looking at him desperately.

"Take a look," was his only reply as he leaned back against his seat. With a racing heart, I slowly opened the paper and read through it.

"Positive?" I turned my gaze to look at the doctor. I stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief. "Doctor... I'm pregnant," I said almost in a whisper as my lips broke into a smile and tears filled my eyes. "Please tell me I'm not dreaming," I was almost in tears as I waited for his reassurance.

His smile widened, and that alone was enough to reassure me that I wasn't dreaming. I was actually pregnant. "I'm pregnant!"

The serious look on his face fell and a genuine smile replaced. "Congratulations. You're pregnant, Evelyn. I'm happy for you," he beamed, causing my breath to cease.

"Oh my goodness! I'm pregnant. I... I can't believe that I'm finally pregnant, Dr. Henry. You know how long I've been hoping for a child. For five years and finally," my voice broke as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"I know, Evelyn," he nodded his head.

"Oh my! I have to share this with Caleb. He would be so happy," I quickly finished up with the doctor. My goal was to share the good news.

I got into a cab and went straight home, eager to tell the news. I entered the living room, looking around confused. Where was Caleb? I thought he said he was feeling unwell to go to work. Or did he still go to work in my absence? I wondered as I walked towards our room.

However, I suddenly stopped in my tracks as I heard sounds coming out from the room. I could hear the lascivious moaning coming from the room. My body froze in shock and fear gripped my heart.

"God, please don't let it be what I am thinking," I whispered as my heart raised even faster as I held the doorknob and immediately, I pushed the door open. The sounds became more audible, causing my heart to sink. My gaze landed on the bed and a gasped escape from my lips. My body became tense. Caleb's naked figure on top of a lady.

I took a step back, my heart pounding within my rib cage as I realized what was going on. "C-Caleb?" My voice trembled as I called in a whisper.

Hearing his name, he snapped his head towards me and his lips parted in shock. "Evelyn!" He quickly pulled away. The lady propped herself up, and her face came in full view. I felt the air stuck in my throat the moment I saw her face.

"Dana?" I felt the world around me spin, and I quickly reached for the wall.

In a split second, she slid out of the bed with the surrounding sheet.

"Evelyn, what... why are you here?" Caleb's voice caught my attention and I turned to look at him. He was already struggling to put his brief on.

"Caleb... how could you?" Fresh tears flooded my eyes as I moved my gaze between them.

This felt like a nightmare that I badly wanted to wake from. "Dana, you're my best friend. H-how could you?"

"Evelyn, please allow me to explain. I... I thought..." he struggled to say a word, but his words were lies and poison that would only destroy me from within.

"You're right. We've been doing it for six years now!" She yelled from behind him, her hand holding up the sheet around her chest.

"What are you doing, Dana?" He snapped furiously.

"Don't you think it's time for her to know the truth? We already discussed this, and you've agreed, so what's the difference if you tell her now? Would it make any difference later?" She countered back.

What was going on? They wanted to tell me about what? About his infidelity and her betrayal? Several questions ran through my mind, but I ended up asking just one question.
