SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 87

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Hera snapped her eyes open the next morning to see Mariam standing there by the side of the bed as she stared at her with a face full of smiles. She forced herself up with a smile to hug her. Feeling like she was forgetting something, she turned to look at bed in hopes of finding him asleep but he wasn't there.

There wasn't a sign of him. Mariam wouldn't have walked into the room if he was there so where could he have gone without telling her? He always informed her before going anywhere so she was a little surprised that he wasn't here to wish her a happy birthday. He had promised that he would spend the day with her. Did he lie to her?

"Ma'am, did Bryce leave for work already?" She asked innocently. "He promised that he'd be at home today."

"I'm so sorry Hera but Bryce got an urgent call from work so he had to leave quickly." Mariam informed her. "He wanted to tell you but you were sound asleep and he didn't want to wake you up. He felt really bad and that's why he asked me to wish you on his behalf instead."

"Oh." She cooed. She felt a little disappointed but she knew that it must've been important for him to leave early. She couldn't fault him for that.

Just then, her phone rang and she picked it up and placed it to her ears when she saw the Caller ID. It was sister Martha probably calling to wish her a happy birthday like she always does every year.

"Hera my child. A very happy birthday to you." Martha wished her happily. "How are you holding up my dear? And how is the pregnancy coming along?"

She instinctively placed her hands on her already protruding stomach. A smile flickering o her lips. "I'm fine sister Martha and so is the baby. We're both doing okay."

"Christina asked me to wish you a happy birthday today. She could've called herself but she left for her exams early this morning. I take it that y'all must have spoken prior to that engagement."

"Yes we have." She answered. "I miss you all so much."

"We do too. Don't think about us too much and enjoy your day. I love you so much my child, don't ever forget that." Martha told her and a stray tear slid down her cheeks. Lately she had been feeling down because she thought that Martha was upset with her so it felt nice to hear her say those words to her.

"I love you too." She answered. They spoke at length before deciding to end the phone call. All through the day, Hera felt down. Bryce hasn't called her and he wasn't returning any of her calls either. She just wanted to hear from him but couldn't get through to him. It felt like he was ignoring her on purpose.

Mariam had consoled her that he might be busy with work but she doubted it. He always made time for her even when he was swarmed with work. Always. As the day progressed to the evenings, she became more worried and alarmed. Max dropped by later in the evening all dressed up.

"If it isn't the birthday girl." Max greeted enthusiastically and hugged her affectionately.

"Good evening Max." She answered before pulling away. "I'm trying to reach Bryce but i can't seem to get a hold of him. He's not taking my calls and i don't know what to do. He's not the type to ignore my messages or calls." She complained bitterly.

"As a matter of fact, I'm here to take you to him. Bryce sent me to give this to you on his behalf." He ushered in two women who came in with different boxes that she couldn't comprehend. "They're here to get you ready for tonight."

She eyed him skeptically. When the both of them teams up to do something, it usually doesn't end well. It's always chaotic. "What's happening tonight? Bryce never mentioned anything of this sort to me."

"It's a surprise so why don't you get ready so that we can go meet him? I'll be waiting out here for you as your escort ma'am." He smiled at her and gestured to the women that he had come with. "Take care of her or he'll have my head."

Mariam led them all to her side of the bedroom and the women set out to work almost immediately. Hera was clueless yet curious as to why Bryce decided to do this? He had time to do this but couldn't wish her a happy birthday? Suspicious.

When she was done getting ready, she made her way downstairs to see Max and Mariam waiting for her.

"You look stunning child." Mariam complimented her outfit. It was a Bouffant Pouf ankle length dress and comfortable platform heels. Her hair was styled up into a wavy messy updo with tendrils framing her fame.

She was putting on a light makeup with simple jewelry. Nothing too extravagant but still, she looked dropped dead gorgeous in her outfit for the night. Her dress complimenting her flawless look.

"Bryce would definitely be needing another baby after he sees you in this." Max teased causing Hera to blush heatedly. She was still upset with him but Max's statement was very funny.

"Thank you." She whispered gratefully.

"Shall we go?" Max offered her his arms and she took it. A limo was already outside waiting to pick them up. When they arrived at the destination, Hera was told to put on a blindfold for the said surprise and after minutes of arguing, she finally did.
