I CAME HOME EARLY TO SURPRISE MY PREGNANT WIFE… BUT WHEN I WALKED IN, I SAW HER KNEELING ON THE FLOOR SCRUBBING WHILE THE MAIDS WATCHED… AND THE REASON BROKE MY HEART.
My name is Marco. I’m the CEO of my own company. I give everything for my wife, Elena, who is eight months pregnant with our first child.
Since it was our anniversary, I decided to come home early. Three in the afternoon. I brought flowers and her favorite cheesecake. I wanted to surprise her.
When I entered the gate, I felt something was off. The house was quiet.
I slowly walked through the main door. I wanted to surprise Elena.
But the moment I stepped into the living room, I was the one who got shocked.
I dropped the cake.
In the middle of our marble floor, I saw Elena.
Her belly was big. She was clearly struggling to move. Yet she was kneeling on the floor, holding a rag and a bucket. She kept scrubbing and scrubbing, drenched in sweat, crying.
Around her stood our three maids. Their heads were bowed. They were crying too. But they weren’t doing anything. They were just watching Elena.
And on the sofa? My mother, Doña Miranda. Sitting there, drinking tea with her eyebrows raised.
“Faster, Elena!” my mother shouted. “The edges are still dirty! Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you’re a señorita! Remember where you came from. You grew up poor. You’re used to housework. Stop acting!”
“M-Ma…” Elena cried, holding her lower back. “My stomach hurts… I feel dizzy…”
“I don’t care! Don’t you dare stop until that floor is shining! And you maids—if any of you try to help her, I’ll fire you!”
My whole body went cold.(Full continues in the first comment.)👉👉👉Turn on the “View all comments” option to see the link!
