Chapter 3: You Are Pregnant

Margret nodded but she was still crying and tearing up, she cried till late hours and later slept off in the sitting room.

The next morning, news media gathered around Millicent's home, the commotion outside was so great that the two tired friends were awakened by it.

Millicent peered through the window "The media are here for you, Margret"

Margret wasn't surprised, she was expecting it, uprising artists in Jing Entertainment were awaiting such a moment to trample all over her.

"Margret, I don't think they are going to leave anytime soon, you have to stay here, and hide from them" Millicent suggested, Margret, nodded in acceptance.

The noise coming from outside didn't quieten down the entire day, Millicent sneaked out of the house and purchased a lot of groceries at night.

Margret stood up immediately after she saw Millicent return, "were you able to fix my phone? I want to call Daniel, and also call my father"

Millicent shook her head, Margret's phone was damaged by the rain, "Margret, you can only buy a new phone, your phone couldn't be fixed, I will go get you a new one tomorrow"

Margret nodded in agreement and thanked her, the next day, Millicent returned home with a new phone.

"Here is it, I bought a new phone" Millicent informed her.

Margret thanked her, and quickly dialled Daniel's number, the moment the call connected, she said into the phone's receiver exasperatedly.

"Hello, Daniel, please don't hang up, listen to me" 

She started hearing voices from the other end, she could recognize Daniel's voice and Brenda's voice.

"You are on call, Daniel, I think you have drank enough, let's go home, baby"

"I love you, Brenda" loud music was blaring in the background.

Margret's face was shock-ridden, she stared at the phone's screen in shock, and the call ended before she could regain her senses.

She tried calling, but, Daniel refused to pick up her call and blocked her directly, Millicent was unaware, she was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

She came out of the kitchen to see Margret heading towards the door, "hey, what do you think you are going out to do, Margret?" 

She quickly ran over to Margret and stopped her from coming out, Millicent was shocked the moment she saw Margret's face.

"What happened to you? why are you crying, Margret? didn't you call Daniel?"

Margret knees buckled, and she sat down on the floor "I did, Millicent, Brenda is out to take everything away from me" she cried out.

Millicent went on her knees and comforted her "Margret, you don't have to cry over a jerk who doesn't worth it, if he is truly in love with you, he won't be hanging out with your sister, put yourself together, dear"

Margret shook her head, she lamented "you don't get it, Cent, I ruined the beautiful relationship that I and Daniel shared, Brenda, is just taking advantage of him, since I am not by his side, and he is mad at me, please, can you help me and go over to meet Daniel? explain things to him on my behalf"

Millicent would have rejected her directly, but she couldn't bring herself to crush the hope in Margret's eyes "I will do that"

"You are the best friend in the world" Margret praised, Millicent rolled her eyes, smiled and exited the house.

Margret waited anxiously for Millicent's return, the moment she came back, Margret sprang to her feet, "how did it go? did he accept me? has he forgiven me? is he outside waiting for me?"

Margret bombarded Millicent with so many questions.

Millicent embraced Margret, she knew her friend is going through a lot, losing her virginity to a stranger, and then being abandoned by those who claim to be her family.

Millicent couldn't tell Margret that she caught Daniel and Brenda kissing, "I didn't see him, Margret, I will go over to his office tomorrow"

Margret pulled out of the embrace, her eyebrows knitted tightly, she could tell Millicent was lying.

"You saw him right?" she asked directly.

Millicent hesitated "Margret, you should calm down"

Margret begged Millicent anxiously "what did he say? please, tell me, did he say he missed me? will he come? did he ask me to come over?"

Millicent heart broke when she saw that her friend is now mentally unstable "get a grip of yourself, Margret, I didn't see him, I will go to his office tomorrow"

Margret looked at Millicent sadly "why are you lying to me?"

Millicent retorted "I can't bring myself to tell you the truth, you will be heartbroken, and you will hate me for telling you the truth, just forget about Daniel, he isn't the only man in the world"

Margret was momentarily surprised, she covered her ears and yelled at Millicent "tell me, what the fuck did he say? and stop spouting nonsense?"

Her eyes reddened, and Millicent shook her head "I can't"

"why?"

"Because he is cheating on you with your sister, Margret, forget about him"

Margret gasped in shock, her entire body trembled and she staggered backwards, falling on the floor, she wailed loudly.

Millicent watched her friend cry with a sad face.

A few days later, Margret felt extremely tired, "are you alright, Margret?" Millicent asked with a concerned tone.

"I don't know, Millicent, I feel dizzy often" Margret complained, Millicent eyes widened in shock.

"Hold on" she excused herself, some minutes later, she brought a pregnancy kit.

Margret frowned while looking at it "what is it?"

Millicent handed it over to her "take this, just do it, don't ask questions"

Margret agreed reluctantly, she emerged later with the pregnancy test kit "here is it"

Colours drained from Millicent's face the moment she saw the result "you are pregnant, Margret"

Margret eyes widened in shock and she cried out "what did you just say, Millicent? how is that possible?" 

Millicent didn't even know how to explain it to her friend "I can't be pregnant for that buffoon, I can't" Margret cried.

She hated the man ever since he came out publicly to ruin her music career.
