Broken love

"At last I've done it, we've done it. Thank you so much God, you've answered our prayers" says Isabelle, clasping her hands together and thanking God. She leaves the bathroom and hides three pregnancy tests she used.

"No more reign insults and slander, now I'll see who dares to point a finger at me," she says, clasping her palms together in her lower abdomen.

Excited, she picks up the phone to call her husband.

"Hello darling, when are you coming home?

"Good evening my love, I'm a little busy right now. Make yourself beautiful tonight I have a surprise for you, the driver will pick you up at ; don't be late," says her fiancé Clément Stones

"Really? Looks like it's a really good day, I've got a surprise for you too," says .

"Really, sweetheart, what's that?" asked Clément curiously.

* It's a secret," replied Isabelle, lowering her .

"Okay, I'll come and see her when I get home, you come here first and dondawdle.

"Okay honey, see you tonight

"See you tonight, kisses

Clément Stones, heir son to the Stones family. His family was considered the richest and most powerful in the town of F. He fell madly in love with a modest, orphaned girl named Isabelle Walter, much to the displeasure of his father Marcus Stones. The latter always money and reputation above all else.

Their love was so strong that Clément was ready to choose his love over his inheritance. After several unsuccessful attempts to separate the two lovebirds, Marcus decided to make a deal with Isabelle: "Isabelle, I don't know what you've done to my son to make him choose you over his inheritance, he's ready to give up everything for you and there's nothing I can do about it... it's his choice" said Marcus helplessly.

"If I understand correctly, you've finally agreed to our union?" asked an Isabelle.

"Not so fast, you will marry my son but on one condition

"Which one?" asked Isabelle

"I'm going to hand over the management of the business to my son in a few months, I'll give you one year to get pregnant, beyond that time...you'moving away from my fills

Isabelle looked at him attentively and smirked, "Otherwise what

"Otherwise I'll be forced to disinherit him. is that what you want? To see the man who gave up everything for you live on the street because of you?

"It's not going to happen. You know I don't back down from anything...Deal father-in-law," Isabelle said, holding out her hand and emphasizing the word "father-in-law."

After a year of unsuccessful attempts, Clément and his fiancée decided to consult a doctor.

"Based on your wife's history and complaints, she's suffering from secondary ovarian failure, and it's at a very advanced stage. explained the doctor.

The news came as a shock to both lovebirds.

"Explain it properly doctor, I don't understand anything" Anxious, Clément wanted to know more about his 's problem.

"Okay, I'll explain. This can be caused by an unbalanced diet and the intake of certain toxic drugs. Tell me, madam, are you on long-term medication or have you taken certain drugs for a long time in the last six months? asked the .

Clément and Isabelle look at each other at the same

"Yes, doctor, she's been taking the vitamins for some ," replied .

"What vitamins?

"I don' know, my mother gave them to me, she said it would help her with some womanly things I don't really understand" says Clément as he takes the bottle of pills out of Isabelle's bag. "Here, take a look for yourself.

The doctor observed the pills carefully and said, "As a precautionary measure, please stop consuming them, madam. These pills weaken ovarian function, and if consumption were to continue, ovarian follicle production would be wiped out forever."

At the mention of these words, Isabelle felt a shiver run through her body, and reflexively tightened her grip on her fiancé's arm. Clément was also upset, but he gently patted her hands to try and her.

"Doctor, tell us, what is the chance for her to conceive in terms of percentage? Clément asked .

"I could say 20% for the moment Mr. Stones, the products she was taking were destroying her ovaries which explains the fatigue and fragility she's feeling. I'm going to give you a prescription that she must take to the letter, and she must eat well and avoid stress, as these factors may increase her chances of conceiving," says the .

Thank you very much," said Clément, taking the prescription and leading his fiancée .

All this time Isabelle was silent, her tears alone explaining the emotions of her soul. When Clément saw this, he took her in his arms and said, "If I knew my mother was in cahoots with my father, I'd never take those pills. She must explain to me she's up to.

"No, don't do that

Why?" asked a Clément.

"Don't do it. If you confront her and she colludes with your father, they'll change methods to harm us. Let them think I'm still taking those pills," replied a Isabelle.

"Okay, let's play the game," concludes Clément.

Their consultation remained a secret to this . It was now six months since Isabelle had rid herself of her obstacle, six months since she'd kept a low profile by playing her in-laws' game. Six months she hadn't let any negative emotions get to her, and here were the fruits of her perseverance: "she's pregnant!
