“Are you pregnant?” He asked again, in a hoarse tone

I was breathing very fast. My cheeks reddened as I stared at his flushed face.

“Did you suddenly go deaf? Are you pregnant?” He reiterated, with a harsher tone.

I quivered at the coldness in his expression. My fingers were shaky and my palms grew sweaty.

“I…I'm sorry, I…” I stuttered.

“Tell me the truth. Are you pregnant or not?” Liam asked again.

“I'm sorry sir. I… I don't know what is wrong with me,” I muttered, with trembling lips.

“Look here, I'm not in for any jokes of yours this early morning. Did you use the pills that night?” Liam asked, sternly.

Liam's frightening gaze was fixed at me. I lowered my gaze immediately and swallowed hard. How would I tell him that I only wanted to keep his child? Was it my fault that I loved children?

“N…No… I…I sorry please,” I stammered.

Liam clenched his teeth in fury and glared at me with contempt.

    Striding towards the staircase, I could hear their loud irritating moans. My heart clenched in fury. Each time I get on his nerves, he goes to bring in the other woman. Was this it? Why was he always a jerk?I crawled up to my room slowly and laid down on my weary bed, the pains I felt in my heart still hurting me. I needed to do something about this, but what could I do?I closed my eyes tightly, inviting sleep, but sleep never did come. The thought of Liam ramming into another woman won't let me sleep. But why do I feel this way when he had stated it clearly from the start that there should be no feelings in this marriage? Why do I find it so difficult to move on with it?I waited patiently for their moans and groans and the slapping sounds from their sweaty bodies to cease, but it never seemed to. Irritated, I got up from my bed and went downstairs to try watching some movies on the living room's television, to clear my head from the thoughts of what was going on.While the movies

    Liam's POVThat pathetic creature is pregnant for me. I'm done for. How dare she go against the rules of this marriage? How could she be so creepy?Just the moment I decided to reciprocate her kind gestures and to see her in a different light, she messed up so badly. I can't take this anymore. What would be the fate of my company if the media finds out about it? CEO Liam Wright chooses his miserable one-night-stand third-rate model as a mother of his kids, over his fiancée, right?Returning from the hospital, I left again, this time to Olivia's place, my go-to person each time I feel distressed. I already knew right from time, that she was only fawning around me because of my money and fame, to boost up her career. It was all too glaring, too evident. Since the money was always available and never ending, I decided to have my own pound of flesh; her gorgeous svelte but curvy body, which was nothing to be compared with Evelyn's heavily-built sturdy one.I had already told Olivia that o

  • Love Beyond The Contract   Rude Shock

    Olivia's POVI somehow got information about the Imperial Entertainments’ collaboration deal with Wrights Entertainment through Jenny. Although I worked with the Imperials, my presence wasn't much needed in the signing process. I only decided to put up an appearance to surprise my fiancé, since it was his company we're signing the deal with and it's a win-win for the two of us.Never did I expect that he'll be there with that shameless slut branded wife. My eyes burned with deep hatred for her as I found her sitting graciously by his side. I decidedly took the next seat by his left and could hardly wait for the seemingly unending meeting to finally come to a close. Not too long after I sat, the shameless whore stood up and in a hastily gait, she dashed out of the conference room, after asking for permission. I watched with furrowed eyebrows. Was it the proximity between us that she couldn't endure or was there some other thing?Soon enough, I heard a horrendous wave of nausea that di

    Evelyn's POV“Move it!” A hoarse voice commanded, brandishing a hard kick on my side.Shivers ran down my spine. The blindfold in my eyes prevented me from knowing whose voice it was, but it was dead terrifying. My hands were tied tightly behind me, so I struggled hard to maintain balance while I moved. My mouth was held firmly too, making me unable to say a word.“Don't you dare waste my precious time! Move, silly fool or I will waste you!” The voice demanded with a menacing tone.I quickly did as I was told to avoid the dire consequences. I didn't know where I was heading to, but I kept moving. My hand was dragged recklessly along by one of the men, while the other kicked at me, each time I slowed down. I was afraid about what would happen to me next, more afraid because of the child growing inside of me. If anything happens to it, I'd certainly tear apart. I live for it and can't afford to lose it tonight.My mind trailed back to the events of the evening. Liam had ordered his dri

    I slowly parted my eyelids open. My eyes were dazed by the blinding light, forcing me to shut them up almost immediately. I was more surprised to find myself surrounded by a few people in immaculate white dresses all gazing at me in anticipation. They seemingly had been waiting for me to open my eyes. “W...Where am I? What am I doing here?” I asked, darting my eyes from person to person.“Oh she's come around. Great improvement!” A man in a doctor's attire said, with a grin, ignoring my question.“Go call her husband at the waiting room, perhaps he might want to see her,” he directed his gaze at one of the nurses that stood closeby.“Alright doctor,” the slender lady replied and left.“Don't worry, you'll get to know later,” the doctor said, lips curled into a reassuring smile.Turning to the second nurse that stood by, he said, “Go get her the drugs now!”She quickly did as she was bidded. He left afterwards. Soon after, the door opened and closed. My eyes rested on the familiar f

  • Love Beyond The Contract   The Deed Is Done

    Liam's POV “I lost my child! That bitch of a woman made me lose my child!” Evelyn winced in pain while I stared at her with a stoic face. I menaced towards her, the icy stare on my face threatening. I gave her a dirty slap at once. “How dare you say that! How dare you call my fiancée a bitch!” I boomed. She trembled under my gaze, sniffing in her nostrils while painful tears rolled down her eyes. Evelyn had just returned from the hospital, the pain of the loss of her child evident on her. While I felt pity for her, it thrills me to find out that she lost the pregnancy. I'm the most eligible bachelor in town after all, I can't be stuck with her for too long. I won't let her pin me down with her bastard son! As for Olivia being the brain behind Evelyn's kidnap, I wasn't too surprised about that. Olivia had already sworn to make her life miserable, so no doubts about that. This perhaps, is just the tip of an iceberg. I'd never have to protect the weakling from the other woman. No wa

    “Hello Lucas!” I said, peering at the woman sitting opposite me with the corner of my eye.She appeared stunned by the name I mentioned. Yes, she ought to be, because he was her ex-fiancé, who is now her stepsister's husband. He was also a manager of one of my companies in the city. I decided to speak to him in her hearing, since there was nothing to hide about it.“Good day Mr Wright. Trust you're doing great. I called to inform you that your presence is needed at the grand opening of the new branch in NYC tomorrow. You're expected to show up with your wife, as courtesy demands,” Lucas reminded.I paused for a while and inhaled deeply. The idea of going along with this pathetic woman didn't sit well with me. Besides, the evidence of the pain of losing her unborn child was still engraved on her miserable face. Why are they always hell-bent on me showing off my hired bride at all occasions I attended? Wasn't she hideous enough? Who would want to look at such a pathetic woman with a de

    Evelyn's POVI watched with disgust as that crazy woman snatched Liam away from my side, after glaring mockingly at me and stood next to him close to the stage. I felt used and manipulated, since I was only attending this ceremony to please him and he ended up choosing the other woman over me, despite our supposed marriage status. She was expensively dressed and had all that was desirable in a woman that I didn't quite have, making me feel intimidated. But what hurts even more was that she was the one that made me lose my child. She plotted it all. I knew it. I will make her pay for it!"Hello ladies and gentlemen," the chairman of the occasion began. "We all are welcomed to the grand opening ceremony of the Wrights Entertainment company branch here in Queens, New York city. I hereby welcome Mr Liam Wright, the formidable CEO of Wrights Entertainment and his lovely wife." Liam and that bitch of a woman walked gracefully to the stairs in their festive attires that draped with luxury,

    I could hardly wait for my antenatal care session to be done with. I've had just enough of everything. I should have just ended it all long ago, that way I wouldn't be involved in this mess. Just when I lost hope, Frank waltzed back into my life and instilled a fresh hope and now he's leaning me shattered and heartbroken.“Miss Lisa, come forward, please,” the doctor motioned to me, indicating that it was my turn to be attended to.“Okay, doctor!” I said and moved to the chair opposite him.He outlined the necessary medication and suitable meals, rich in various nutrients that should be taken by me. I thanked him and left afterwards, after giving Evelyn one last scrutinizing gaze.Frank was supposed to drive me back home. He had said he'd report at the hospital in thirty minutes' time, but unlike him, he didn't show up even after more than an hour's time. I wasn't so bothered about that anyway. He was the cause of the heaviness I felt in my heart and I wouldn't want to have anything

    “It's another day to go see the doctor!” Frank reminded me, with a kiss on my forehead.Getting out of bed, I stretched groggily and slipped into my flip flops and took to the bathroom to get ready for the day's antenatal session. I carried out all my daily routine and in about an hour, Frank dropped me off at the hospital and left afterwards.I strode heavily into the doctor's office for some medical check-up before I proceeded to thehospital's gynecology section, where the antenatal care was being provided. “Good morning, doctor!” I greeted with a faint smile, as soon as I got into his office.“Morning, ma'am. Welcome to my office,” The doctor replied curtly, raising his gaze to meet me, his eyes particularly on my protruded belly.“Your pregnancy is advancing smoothly,” he observed, although I felt might have meant the opposite- The pregnancy had brought me so much pain and mental stress.“How about your husband? He didn't come in here with you?”“My husband?” I blinked with skept

    The doctor handed the test results to Frank, his face lit with a smile. I already knew my fate and so I didn't need to wait for the doctor to announce the outcome of the DNA test. I was more bothered about dad's stern punishment, about how mum would feel if I eventually get cut off from their lives.“The test results confirm that you're the rightful father of the child!” The doctor finally said those words I never wanted to hear, although I already knew they were true.“Thank you so much doctor,” Frank muttered, exchanging handshakes with the doctor.“You're welcome,” the doctor said and left us to ourselves“You see it, I told you I was the child's father and you denied it. Now you see, I'm right. It's been confirmed,” Frank ranted boastfully.I rolled my eyeballs in disdain and glanced at him, wondering why he was all cheerful, despite knowing the fire consequences that awaited me as a result.“Frank, it seems you don't really understand what's going on with my family right now.

    I heard the sound of a familiar car drive into the compound and blare its horn loudly as it parked. Peeking through the curtained window in my room upstairs, my eyes met a familiar sight. Frank's Lamborghini was parked out there. He alighted and stood by it. My heart thumped as caught a glimpse of him. He was absolutely breathtaking! He was dressed smartly in casual good-looking clothes and wore dark shades that did well to shield a good proportion of his tough face. I've never seen him look so good before. It looked like he dressed specifically to impress me. He was here to pick me up and I was all set, waiting for his arrival since early morning. Frank stomped his feet impatiently as he stood by his car and pulled out his phone, probably to give me a call. I smiled and reached for my phone quickly even before it rang. “Hello baby!” He greeted me. “Hi! I'm coming to meet you downstairs. Just a moment,” I said, with a smile “Alright, I'd be waiting!” He replied and hung

    Frank took a few steps closer to me, placing his hand back on my shoulder. I decided to stay put this time. He gently tugged some strands of hair behind my ear and turned to look directly into my eyes.“Look baby, I know the circumstances that brought us together are quite questionable, I just want you to know that I genuinely care about you and our baby. I won't do anything to hurt you anymore. I promise, believe me,” he pleaded, his eyes graced with genuine sincerity.I felt dreamy as I stared on, my eyes well with tears. I've never felt so in love before. He's a monster, yet I won't deny that I'm falling for him already. He might not be the perfect human, but he's perfect for me.“I miss my parents so much. I'm sure they'll be expecting me back soon. I haven't even sorted out the hospital bills,” I whimpered.A teardrop rolled down one eye and then another in the second eye. He wiped them off caringly and wrapped me in his comforting arms.“Don't cry please! I'd pay the bills.” He

    “Wake up, baby!” A masculine voice jolted me out of my peaceful sleep.I flickered my eyes for a moment and shut them back, to think properly. Who is he and how did I get here?“Dad?” I stared at him searchingly, my eyebrows contorted.He giggled at me, like I was making some joke. “Don't tell me you've forgotten your Daddy so soon! Your baby's daddy as well,” he teased and chuckled with a mirthless laughter. “Oh!” The events of last night began replaying in my mind.“I didn't die? Why did I follow him? Did he sleep with me?” I muttered to myself.“You'd have preferred to die than follow me last night, you mean? Don't you care about my baby?” He interrupted my thoughts. “Well, we spent the night together, if you must know. But don't be afraid I didn't touch you.”I blinked in disgust. His presence disgusted me, as much as his words did.“It's my baby not yours, please. Get that stuck into your brains!" I clarified.“Don't worry, we'd get to find out who the rightful father is soon e

    “What exactly is wrong with you? Why would you think of killing yourself?” he frowned disheartenedly. I bowed my head in regret. His piercing gaze shot at me and I couldn't withstand it any more.“I… I'm sorry. I won't try it again.” I faltered, wondering why I felt indebted to the man who caused me so much pain.“Get her into the car!” He said, gesturing to the other man.“I won't!” I backed off, unwilling to go with them.“Let's go, please. I have a surprise for you!” He said excitedly.“A surprise for me? What surprise?“Yes, you'll find out about it later. Let's go first!”Hesitantly, I strode to the car where my tormentor stood and got in. My mind was too busy to think of anything else to do. He joined in the car, sitting next to me, while the other man drove.“You think you could run away from me, huh?” He asked, his husky voice reminding me of that night.“Look, I don't know where you're taking me to, but that doesn't give you the right to question me unnecessarily.” I blurred

  • Love Beyond The Contract   Suicidal Thoughts

    I stare blankly into the empty space, the nothingness shook within me, an unpleasant feeling of self-pity, when I remember my predicament; how my life had turned upside down all of a sudden, how life had dealt treacherously with me. I wished my world could be different. Different from the nagging voices in my head that reminded me daily of my struggle, pain and lingering sorrow, and of the imperfections that embraced my world.Mum and Dad are still in the hospital, not because they're still ailing, but because I can't afford to foot the both bills and now I haven't been able to attend the antenatal sessions the doctor recommended for me, just because I can't pay off my pending debts. What a shame!I had no other person to run to. The few relatives I know, I don't relate well with them, especially after Evelyn was sent out of this house and automatically out of our lives. Evelyn could have been of help to save my face from the embarrassment, but right now, we're not in talking terms. T

    After the questioning was over, I was allowed to leave, while a quite familiar man seated on the bench with me was whisked into a cell. Although I felt happy at his retribution, I couldn't help but wonder if he was really the man I had spent that splendid night with, after Lucas cheated on me. Maybe he was the one responsible for my pregnancy. Just maybe….Evening was setting in already. I boarded a taxi and got back to the hospital. Surprisingly, mum sat in the seat I was sitting in before I left the hospital. She's been discharged already. My face beamed with happiness.“Mum!” I half yelled and walked excitedly to where mum was seated.“Mum? What do you mean? Where did you go?” She snuggled me in a little and then let me sit beside her.“I'm sorry I left for the police station. I received an urgent call from them.” I said, unsure whether to go into details. “How do you feel now, Mum?” “Police station? Why the hell did you go there? Did you commit a crime?” She was left undone.“C'm
