DENISE

"Finally! I thought you'd never return." I stood to welcome the man who had been the only family I'd known all my life.

Mom had died young leaving me in the care of my stepfather, who was then her boyfriend.

Yeah, they never got a chance to tie the knot before she died, so had my stepdad explained.

I owed the man a lot especially when he'd gone through the stress of helping me find my root and discovering I was the biological daughter of a rich man.

A dead rich man.

He hugged me. "Yeah, I had some business to attend to. It took more time than I'd expected." He explained.

He'd been gone for days.

"I'm glad you're home now." I told him.

He studied my face. "How did your meeting with Hailey go?"

He had not been able to reach out to ask. The day I'd gone to see Hailey was the same day he'd left for his business.

He spilled his seeds inside of me before collapsing on my body. None of us could talk for a while. I waited for my brain cells to return to normal and be able to comprehend what had just happened. When it did, I couldn't even bring myself to look at him or even speak.But I had to say something. "Get off me."I swallowed, totally not expecting my voice to tremble as it had just did. Why was I on the verge of crying over something that I'd been a willing participant?He raised his head to study my expression, then he sighed. It was low but I heard it. "What's wrong Hailey?""Your wife needs you." I managed to get out through an emotional voice.He roll off me but didn't let go, rather he cradled me in his arms.

And by that 'bitch', I meant Hailey. I had been quick to spot her at that hotel before she sent her goons to come after us.She didn't know Derek yet, just me. So it was specifically me she had wanted. Derek and me hadn't met again until now when he'd called to see me. "Exactly why I chose a place far from town and in this car with tinted windows, one can hardly recognize us." He responded, tucking a strand of his brown long hair behind his ear. "How has it been?" I shrugged and lied. "Fine."But I knew everything was far from fine. My son was held in that bastard's custody. And then he'd had the guts to call me to order me to carry out his bidding.

    JAREDI was going through the ledger when I heard the little commotion going on outside my office. What was happening?I rose from my chair and stepped out of my airy office to see my secretary having a little banter with someone.Other staff were watching with interest. Few eyes caught my presence and went back to their station or faced their jobs...or at least they pretended to.I had never seen Miss Bordeaux in this infuriated manner. And the person she was talking back to was a bit hidden by a staff's work station."You do not have an appointment, little girl." My secretary snapped."Do you know who I am? Who my father is?" The familiar voice had me halting in my tracks. Maybe I should let Celine handle this one all by herself.I had just done a U-turn and was about to flee to my office when I heard the excited squeal.

She opened the door and I went after her.Eyes raised from their respective jobs once again to lock in on an excited Nina and an embarrassed me.&n

    I stirred awake, my eyes fluttered open. Where was I? I raised myself to a sitting position and saw I was naked.And there was someone beside me. I turned to see that this person had the blankets pulled over their head. It was none other than my husband.I winced a little as my head throbbed. I shook him awake. "Hey, babe. Wake up."He merely stirred but did not wake. "Christian, get up. We slept through the party." I shook him.The door opened just then. "What is going on here?"I faced the door and paled. There was my husband standing on the doorway.Who was this other guy? "What are you doing, Hailey?" There was anger and hurt.I opened my mouth and closed them back, feeling like a fish out of water. I blinked my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly. I pulled down the blankets and gasped.Fear squeezed tighter, apprehension crept up my spine. I could feel blood drain from my face."You cheated on me?!" Christian's boyish handsome face went taut in derision and betrayal. "N-no, I

    In my haste to make a run for the bathroom, I almost fell flat on my face. I managed to untangle the bedsheet around me and within seconds, I was kneeling before the toilet bowl and puking my guts out."Mrs. Baldwin?" A gentle voice called."Almost done." I replied amidst vomits. My maid, Lisa, waited until I was done. I flushed, then gently stood to go rinse my mouth and wash my hands by the sink."Yes, Lisa?" I turned to her when I was done."Your tea is ready, ma'am. It'll help calm your stomach." She said."Thank you. Where's my husband? Did he return home last night?" I was still weak but my stomach was stable a bit.Christian had not been home last night. Due to my morning sickness and other pregnancy-induced factors, I had been unable to wait for him."I think he's in his room." She commented, following me obediently back into our matrimonial bedroom."In his room? You have no idea if he came into our room last night?" That was new. Why was he in his room? We both had our sep

I had no choice than to lodge in a hotel when I saw it was getting late.Thankfully, one of the purses he had thrown at me contained two of three of my credit cards. The third one was in my drawer.I had to get myself a new phone because my old one was on top of my bedside table when I left. I was hurt but I was also trying to understand that he was angry.He had seen me with another man and now, I was carrying another man's child. I tried calling him yesterday since I had his number off hand, he had picked at first but as soon as he heard my voice, he ended it and didn't pick again after that.I was now in a restaurant trying to eat. My baby needed food to survive. Even though I was not hungry, I was obligated to eat for my baby's sake.I did not like the hotel's food so I found this really nice restaurant close by. But after toying with the ravioli I ordered, I pushed it away. I lowered my head so no one would see the tears.

"What is he doing here?"But he ignored me, focusing on his interaction with Zion. "Son, let's go get you some ice cream. Are you in the mood for one?" "Yes. And new toys." Zion said, already harboring that excited gleam in his eyes. "Let's buy for Zaya too. She might wake up anytime and ask for hers. I don't want her fighting me for mine."I gaped at uncle Pete. We had never told him Zaya's condition. He only knew she was still in the hospital but not how she was. So how did he know?Uncle Pete understood my expression. "I told him." He clarified."Why?
