My Emotionless Goddess

” Hi Aunt Martha?”Gabriel greeted back, offering her a polite smile.

The group then proceeded to enter the house where the others were waiting for them. Upon entering, Stacy was surprised to see close to thirty people comfortably seated on coaches, all looking at them. She stood rooted on the ground cursing her parents softly.

She only informed her mother about Gabriel’s visit yesterday, just when did she manage to gather the whole village here.

” Stacy my dear daughter.” Mrs Carls, her mother, sauntered to her, smiling broadly. Despite being in her late forties, Mrs Carls still had fair skin like a teenage girl. She had maintained herself very well.

” Mother.” Stacy greeted back with a stiff smile on her face. Count on her mother to make everything a big deal and extravagant.

” Welcome home.” Mrs Carls offered her a sweet bear hug.

” Just what is everyone doing for her mother?” Stacy questioned in a whisper.

” My daughter is bringing home her future boyfriend. I invited everyone here to welcome my son in law home.” Her mother did not lower her voice and answered loudly, making Stacy embarrassed.

” Stacy, don’t you want your uncle to take a look at your future husband? We have to make sure you find yourself a fine Young Man, only then can I rest assured.” A middle aged man said, feigning a hurt expression.

” How can that be your third Uncle, it’s his first time visiting, I Just didn’t expect to see you all here.” Stacy replied, trying to salvage the situation her mother put her in. The Carls family was a big extended family that was United. Although it was involved in business, there were rarely family grudges since each family was stable. Their relationship was good.

” It’s okay my dear. Your uncles and aunts are here to celebrate your milestone in life as well as to welcome the new members of the Carls family.” Mr Carls, Stacy’s father, said hugging his wife protectively. He was known as a ruthless businessman in the corporate world and a wife slave at home. He was the one to support everything his wife did, it didn’t matter how unreasonable or absurd the thing was.

” I assume this is Gabriel Whiteman? When I heard you are Stacy’s boyfriend, I left everything and came to see you. I like all your inventions. Thanks to you, I managed to develop my company in country B. You don’t Know how helpful your power project was.” Mr Peter Carls said with a fawning expression on his face.

” Hubby, is he the genius you have been talking about non-stop?” A blonde haired lady asking, referring to Mr Peter Carls, Stacy’s second uncle.

” Of course honey he’s the one. I have been trying to locate him and wanted to marry our Esther to him.” Peter added.

” Little brother, are you planning on stealing my daughter’s husband?” Mr Carls joked, making everyone burst into laughter.

” How could I? I’ll never want to mess with your daughter’s man. She’s my daughter too and marrying into Carl’s family is enough.” Peter replied.

The family chatted and welcomed the three boys to the family. Of course, Mrs Carls was the happiest to see a new addition to her family. Mr Carls being the wife slave he had had no option but to accept the boys. Not that he didn’t like them, it’s just that he hated competing with others for his wife’s attention.

Stacy left in the evening and drove to the agreed hotel with her girlfriends. Gabriel and the boys would be spending the night at her parents house as agreed.

She arrived at half past seven and everyone was waiting for her.

” Sorry, am late.” She apologised. She was known to be the most punctual after Miranda.

” What took you so long? It’s unusual for you to be even a minute late.” Ava probed.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

” Had a hard time shaking Gabriel off. He’s acting clingy again.” Stacy replied.

” Gabriel Azin, that lover boy?” Lucia asked.

” What lover boy? That’s my boyfriend and the father of my child.” Stacy announced with pride. She had wanted to reveal the good news to her friends but never got the perfect time to. Today seemed like a good time to make the announcement.

” Wait.. are you saying that you are pregnant?” Ava asked, her face painted with disbelief.

” Of course dummy.” Lucia replied smacking Ava on her back playfully.

” What the heck!” How? When? How come I didn’t know? ” Ava asked, she couldn’t believe it.

” What’s with the questions? How and when shouldn’t be her secret. Do you also want to know how the baby was conceived?” Lucia mocked, enjoying the expressions on their friends’ faces.

” No, this is not possible! I mean like how? You guys only got together for a period of time and you are already pregnant? I have been living with a man under the same roof for months and leave alone being pregnant, I still have my v card intact!” Ava shrieked, sounding aggrieved.

” You should learn a few tricks from us or maybe your mafia boyfriend cannot perform in bed.” Lucia said, not sparing a chance to taunt their overspoken friend.

” Or maybe am not charming enough to arouse him?” Ava lamented. She was jealous of her friends. Turning to look at Miranda who hadn’t made a single sound all through the conversation, she asked accusingly,” what about you? Are you also pregnant, I wouldn’t be surprised if you are.”

Miranda shook her head with her face flushing red. Matters between men and women was not something she could stomach discussing casually like her friends. She would always get embarrassed.

” Thank God you aren’t. It feels bad to be the odd one out.” Ava said, consoled.

” With Justin’s character, she might hit thirty with her v card intact.” Lucia said and snorted. After knowing Justin for the past months, she had come to learn that he was a reserved Young man and respected Miranda alot. He would never cross that border unless their friend allowed him to. Coupled with the queenly duties that came with the crowning, Miranda was bound to be busy and ignore such matters. How pathetic.

” That will be such a waste.” Ava commented.” But how am I different from her? I really need to master a few tricks of seduction. If that man doesn’t want to approach me, I’ll approach him myself. Gone are the days women couldn’t ask for what they want.” Ava said, her voice full of conviction. She was determined to conquer that ice block.

” You should take things slow. Maybe he has his reasons.” Stacy advised.

” Reasons my foot! I want it. After waiting for him for twelve years, I am at the limit of my patience. If he finds me unattractive, I’ll just look for another man, period.” Just thinking about it made her angrier. What was he dilly dallying about? She was already twenty four and she wanted to explore the garden of Eden. She was of the right age after all. Coupled with the fact that two of her friends were pregnant, she felt aggrieved and wronged.

‘ Let’s see how long you will resist after I am done with you.’ Ava thought inwardly, smiling slyly.
