Her alarm went off. Maria opened her eyes and groaned. She was seven months pregnant and emotionally drained. Nothing had changed, if anything the jealous tantrums had more than tripled now that Josh had started filming with that gorgeous piece of no-good. He had just spent five days away with her in some exotic location. Maria had not stopped phoning him, every fifteen minutes, and he had patiently answered, even during a take and he had not once complained about it. Her brother, whose book they were filming, phoned back and gave her a good scolding. He assured her that her husband had not put a single foot out of line. But she was now highly emotional, bloated, sluggish and heavily pregnant...the exact opposite to his curvy, smiling and energetically adventurous on-screen wife for whom the word voluptuous had been created...and also the opposite to Freddie’s girlfriends who miraculously had all slept with Josh in the past. Could her husband be right, was Freddie doing this on purpose?

She had been wary of him after that wild Christmas party, but Freddie had appeared the next morning with a big bruise on his chin and had been all apologetic as he somehow downplayed the gravity of their actions. He had invited her out to lunch with Pam whom he then treated with the greatest affection. She had been relieved. Freddie had no romantic interest in herself as confirmed by his hunger for his many girlfriends’ unearthly beauty.

She switched the alarm off and then abruptly sat up. Josh had taken a late night flight back home and should have arrived four hours ago. But her bed was empty. She grabbed her phone in anger. “Where are you? I have an important business meeting at work today. You promised to stay with the kids. They are already up and I’ll be late for work now.”

“The kids are still in bed. You were asleep when I came home and I didn’t want to wake you up,” he said at the other end of the line. He opened the bedroom door and smiled broadly at her.

She held her head high and sailed past him into the kitchen. The table was beautifully laid out for breakfast. Josh had brought home every fruit created under the sun. He knew about her cravings for the cartloads she consumed daily. She wiped a tear and sat down.

“Josh,” she said softly as she poured a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, “I just wanted you to know that I’m meeting Rob today.”

“So, Rob is the important business meeting.”

“We have to coordinate the trials we are staging across both sides of the Atlantic. He’s here for only one day and Freddie has organised a dinner tonight in his honour....”

“I thought that it will be just us tonight. I have to go back early tomorrow morning and you knew that. They really frowned upon this one day break. I came home to be with you and the kids...”

“Tough! I can’t wriggle out of this and I want you to come with me tonight.
