Some business associates stopped Elliot and Mr Kord and so Kevin and Selene were alone at the far end."It's true," she told him "It looks like after your father's ultimatum, Karen has lost the will to continue. She was only after your money and now that she will have to carry a child for it, she's backing out. She has surrendered you to me. Aren't you happy?"Kevin gritted his teeth, he did not believe a word that Selene said. "Karen is not like that."Selene hissed, "You've only known her for three months, Kevin and you're defending her? Well, find out yourself! She told me this morning that I can have you back.""Get away from me," said Kevin as he slipped out his phone and dialed Karen's number. Although it rang, the call was not picked."Kevin, don't be stubborn will you?" said Selene as she was getting fed up, "We can have a baby together. Wasn't it your dream to get married to me and have a family?"After looking at her with a cold gaze, Kevin said, "You are married to Elliot,
"You.." Karen couldn't believe her ears, she shook her head. "You said you will never take me as your wife. You..you said I am a nobody to you." "Yes," he said "I did. Isn't it possible for things to change? Do you not want to love you?" "How can I believe that you have moved on so quickly from Selene? How-" He placed a finger on her lips, "Even I cannot believe it but it's true. So don't push me away. If you don't want to have a baby with me-" Karen cut him off and said, "I want to have a baby with you." Kevin couldn't believe his ears. He paused, still in shock. Karen straightened up and placed a hand on his chest, biting her lips as she said, "I want to have a baby with you, Kevin Kord." she repeated, her tone soft and almost silent. He grabbed her waist and brought her close, claiming her lips that instant. His hands roamed all over her against the wall, making her feel a thousand emotions at once. Karen had never done this before so she couldn't keep up with his pace.
One month passed very quickly and Karen thought it to be the best moment of her life as she didn't only get married into a wealthy family but managed to win the heart of Kevin Kord, the only man her heart came to love.Last month was stress free for Karen, if she wasn't at work in the Kord industries she was with Kevin and barely had any time for Sam who wasn't mad about it.She was truly happy that Karen was living her best life. Besides, it was only eight months left before...So she deserves the best.Sam was at the company today. Ever since she had a night stand with Ian she avoided him like a plague. His mother had come to her and warned her severely to stay away from Ian.Even without the warning, Sam had already decided to choose her peace over him. Yet it didn't hurt less whenever Amelia walked into the company and Sam knew she was here for Ian.How Amelia managed to get a job as the manager of the company was not baffling to Sam. Ian must have helped her considering the relat
Sam walked out of the hospital and took a cab back to her house in a daze. "Sam?" her mother called the moment she walked through the door, "Are you okay?"However, Sam was oblivious to anyone and anything. She simply took the stairs to her room and locked the door behind her, the doctor's words still ringing in her ears.'I think you might be pregnant,'Sam sat hopelessly on her bed as tears began to form in her eyes. When she thought about the impossibilities surrounding ever being with Ian, the tears began to flow very quickly.She began to sob and curse herself. It was bad getting pregnant at the stage of her life. Her mother was not a dependable woman, she would likely get any man and force Sam to marry him.Terminating the pregnancy scared the shit out of Sam and then she remembered that it wasn't a fact yet.She was told to come back for her test result two days later. Only when she remembered this did she calm down and stopped crying.* * *The next day, Sam and Ian were seat
Sam snapped her hand away.She said with a straight face, "No."Before he could say anything else, Sam had gone. Kevin and Karen would soon get to the airport and so Sam joined Ian to welcome them. Sam couldn't help but smile at her friend's glow-up. The one month vacation seemed worth it."I missed you, Sam!" Karen declared as she put her arms around her friend and kissed her cheek."I missed you too," Sam repliedAs men, Kevin and Ian did not showcase any emotion. Instead, Ian said,"Glad you're back, I will die if I go another day heading that company!"Kevin merely smirked. Although he was back in the city, he was not ready to return to the mansion. If it were up to him, he'd have remained with Karen away from everyone else however Karen insisted on coming back.The limousine took them to a five star hotel and Kevin booked a room for him and Karen and was about to book for Ian and Sam as well when Sam cleared her throat, turning all attention to her."I'll prefer a separate room
"She's Kevin Kord's wife!" said Sam, "Don't speak to her in that manner!"Amelia appeared shocked. She gazed even more irritatingly at Karen and regained her composure."Let me guess," she chuckled, "You got Kevin by deceitful means, didn't you? You both are shameless and would not leave rich men alone!"She glared at Sam, "Your friend might have succeeded in getting Kevin but as long as I live you will never have Ian! Mark my words!""Miss Smith," Karen stepped forward, "Stop being insecure. My friend has no intentions of being with Ian. You should tell your fiancee to stay away instead.""Is that so?" Amelia smirked, "Have you asked her why she was on his bed a month ago?! Despite knowing that he belonged to me she threw herself at him shamelessly! If she stops casting her eyes towards Ian he would stop thinking about her!""Besides, why is she in the same hotel as him, huh?""This was Kevin's doing," answered Karen."I don't care!" Amelia shrieked, "As long as she is closer to Ian
Karen was distraught. She wanted to go up to them and ask why Kevin lied to her. She wanted to go up to them and ask if Kevin pretended to be over Selene just to get her to bed and have his father's will? But she did not move an inch.Even if all these thoughts passed through her head, she feared the fact that they might turn out to be true. So she turned and found her way back to Elliot's car.He joined her inside the car and said, "I know you're hurting Karen but it's what you get when you don't listen to me. You have seen me as the heartless one meanwhile it is Kevin who is infact heartless. And my wife..""She deceived me as well," he paused and added, "I'd gone through her phone just few days ago and found her chats with Kevin. They got in touch even when Kevin was with you during the vacation."He slipped out his phone and handed it to her, "Here, if you don't believe what I'm saying."However, Karen shook her head and simply said, "Please take me home."Elliot obediently did as
"Look, it's Mac and Cheese," Karen said with a smile as she dropped the plate in front of Zachary."Here's yours, Aunt Maya." planting a soft kiss on the woman's cheek she said, "Your favorite, spiced turkey. I made it just the way you like it."Karen stared at the table filled with food however Aunt Maya and her cousin, Zachary were not eating. Instead they had a forlorn look on their faces.Aunt Maya said, "There was no need for this, Karen""Why not?" Karen chuckled "It's the New Year and this is how we celebrate it, remember? I make your favorites each year.""This is different," Zachary lifted his gaze "Why are you pretending, Karen?""Pretending?" Karen gave a sad chuckle "I'm not pretending.""Should I remind you that this is your last New Year celebration?" Zachary said with clenched jaw "You have only eleven months left and, God, you're so happy. How can you be happy?"Finally found out, Karen took her seat quietly beside Aunt Maya who began to weep."I know," Karen replied c
