Revenge on my ex

Ella ran home with joy and excitement. The news she just got gave her great joy. It was long-awaited news.

"I am pregnant!" She whispered to herself.

Oh, how she had longed to hear and say that word, and now her prayers have finally been answered.

"You are pregnant ma'am." She recalled the doctor's voice causing her to squeal out in excitement.

"Doctor, are you sure it's not something else?" She asked, sounding skeptical.

"No ma'am, you are pregnant." The doctor insisted, still smiling.

The cab driver looked at her like she had gone nuts and she just smiled at him. He concluded that whatever had made her squeal like that must be good news so he smiled back at her and focused on his driving.

Ethan and Ella have been eager to have a baby since they got married three years ago. They had tried everything including a failed IVF session which had left her depressed but Ethan had been a source of great comfort to her.

"Look Ella, children will come at the right time, I don't like you being depressed." Ethan had comforted her.

"You don't get it, Ethan, you know how much I love children." Ella Was Astonished by what Ethan was saying.

"Babe, I love you and that's all that matters," Ethan assured.

Even if she were to come back to this life a thousand times, she would still choose Ethan. He was the best thing that had happened to her.

That was what she thought until she got the shock of her life.

She quickly paid the cab driver and ran upstairs to their apartment. She was so eager to let him hear the good news that she felt the elevator would slow her down so she took the stairs and since her adrenaline was high, it was not long before she got to the fourth floor where their apartment was.

She took a quick breath and opened the door. Immediately she entered the house, something felt wrong and she could not place her finger on it.

She moved cautiously in the darkness as she tried to find the light switch. She felt troubled as her heart began to beat faster.

"Was something wrong?" She asked herself quietly.

She had called Ethan's office to tell him the good news but she was told that he had gone home already so she had texted him instead that she had good news she wanted to share with him and then she immediately started coming home. She had expected Ethan to be at home which was why she was surprised to see the lights off.

A dreadful thought seeped into her mind that perhaps something bad had happened to him so she quickly gathered her courage and switched on the light.

The first thing she noticed was a pair of red heels that she knew did not belong to her. Her heartbeat doubled and she felt like she was almost having a heart attack.

"Ethan?.." She called softly as she walked towards their bedroom and then she suddenly stopped.

At first, she thought it was the sound of a cat but then, they did not have a cat in the house they did not have pets because Ethan claimed he was allergic to their hair so having a pet in the house was out of the options.

She would have thought that it was from the neighbors but then, Ethan specifically chose this building because the wall between each apartment was soundproofed. You could only hear sounds from within the apartment but not outside the apartment.

That ruled out option number two. So the sound she heard was coming from the bedroom but if it was not a pet, then what was making the noise? She asked herself.
