"Stop being lazy, Ivan. It can't be that bad. Just check out a few more stores. I'm sure you will find something that matches my taste." Connor sighed, plopping down on the chair behind his desk with his phone glued to his ear.

"I'm going to curse you if you keep telling me what to do."

"Isn't this your duty?"

"Oh, now you know it's my duty. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't do last-minute, errands, runs, or favors."

"Come on dude," Connor groaned.

"No. I'm not going to let you manipulate me. Not this time. It's high time you started facing the consequences of your rude decisions."

"You've literally shut me out since your engagement party. You ignore me every fucking time I reached out to you. Dior sent four freaking staff to come over to take your measurements since you wouldn't show up for your scheduled appointments, you literally told your security to chase them away, and here you are, bugging me for an emergency outfit?!"

    "Why are you furious? Not that you are a saint or whatever!""Right?! My fault for having a fling with you in the first place.""Come on, Connor. I saw how you were stealing glances at me this morning at the meeting. Being a married man doesn't mean we can't be a thing and have our own fun.""You need help, Alicia.""No. I know what I'm doing and I feel you should commend me for being sincere.""Why would you even think I would sign these papers?""You find it hard to come close to me again so I felt having a prenup like this would put your mind at ease. That way we can have our fun while you stay married and wouldn't have to bother about anything.""It's okay if you need more time to go through the agreement. I made it really flexible but you are free to suggest any changes as far as it benefits the two of us."Connor picked up the few pages document on the table along with the envelope and tore them into two pieces."What the heck, Connor?" She rose to her feet."Do you know how muc

    "Whatttt?" Nancy stared in shock at Rita with her heart rate brutally going up and down."Oh please, spare me that crap and stop behaving all innocent!" Lilian's voice came through."Sis," Rita tried to caution Lilian upon seeing how scared Nancy was."What? Let's call a spade a spade, Rita. What the hell is all of these? I can't believe I have to deal with all this bullshit right now!!!""Stop panicking, we still have to take the test to know the way forward.""Come on, what fucking test? You know your onions well enough for me to start doubting you.""Just calm down. And please stop walking up and down." Rita turned her attention to Nancy, still holding her hands, she could see the terrified look on Nancy's face and apart from that, she could see unshed tears in her eyes which made her give her hand a light squeeze."How.....www come?" She found herself whispering, finding it very hard to wrap her mind around what Rita told her."Dear God, please save me from murdering someone today

    Nancy nodded, not looking into Rita's eyes."We all have sex, Nancy. This isn't a topic you should be shy about."In my case It is. I really don't know how it happened. We used protection." She sniffled."Those things aren't 100% guaranteed. I would advise that we go for the test, then we know what to do."Knowing she didn't have much of a choice, She nodded."How long will it take?""To get the results? Just a couple of minutes. We would be going to the family hospital and because you're from the Matins, I'm certain you'll be instantly attended to. Plus, I can also pull a few strings."......................Never had Nancy been so scared in her life. With the way her heart was pounding and with the way so many thoughts were going through her head, She had no idea how she got into the car with Rita. They occupied the back seats while the driver drove.They got to the hospital in no time and just as promised, Rita pulled a few strings. The doctor received them, he took her to the lab

    Lilian knew it was probably irresponsible of her to be drinking in the garden at this hour of the day when she ought to be preparing to welcome her visitors who were arriving for dinner in a few hours, but she couldn't care less as her brain was frozen, and mind was all over the place.She gulped down some liquor from her glass cup, loving the strong feeling it had on her throat, trying to shake off all the strange thoughts and conclusions she was having in her head.Her phone rang beside her. She sighed, looking at the caller ID to see who it was. She heaved another sigh seeing that it was her daughter. But she picked up anyway."Hey, Mom. I know I promised you I was going to come earlier but something came up but I should be with you by 6.""Mom...!!!""Are you even listening to me?""Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.""You aren't going to scold me about it? Is anything the matter?""You sound disturbed.""The dinner isn't going as planned?""No, that's not it.""Then what is it?""Nadia,

    "Connor's the father?"Nancy looked away in shame, slowly nodding her head.The silence between them was up to a minute.Nancy was looking down at her hands with unshed tears."So you're the one Maliya and Natasha were referring to at the engagement?"If there was anything, Nancy wasn't expecting Rita's voice to be this calm and that made her look up.The expression on Rita's face was normal."Re....referring to me?""About the lady Connor couldn't stop looking at. So it's you?""I don't know what you're talking about.""Really? You feel it's cool to hide information away from me at this point?""I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. It could be me they are referring to. I'm not sure.""Could that be the reason Lilian was really upset?""I don't know. I have no idea if she knew anything about us.""According to what my Girls said, with the way my Nephew's eyes were all over you, it's pretty difficult to convince anyone that there's no spark between you both."Nancy sighed."You're mad

    Knowing there was nothing she could say to calm her down in the heat of the moment, Nadie gave Nancy a shoulder to lean on by hugging her as she cried.She only pulled away when Nancy had calmed down a little. "I've got more reasons to be more protective of you.""What do you mean?" She asked with puffy eyes."The first time I took a liking to you was when I thought my brother was into you. You're the first person he ever spoke about to me and it really excited me.""Co... Connor told you about me?"Nadie nodded. "He was confused, and needed to clear his head, and that was when he told me about it.""I can't believe Connor did that. He has no shame.""All thanks to you!""What do you mean?""I felt like a big sister that day."Seeing how confused she looked, Nadie explained further."Connor has always been this secretive child or maybe I feel so because of the way things turned out to be.""We used to be close but suddenly we lost that bond at some point when he was in high school.

    The moment the driver dropped Rita in front of the house, She bumped into her brother-in-law, Aaron, who looked like someone that just finished attending to a phone call."I didn't know you went out. Shouldn't you be getting ready for dinner?""Yeah, I stepped out to do something quickly." She said, approaching him."You have any idea where my sister is?""She was being cranky a while ago so I gave her some space.""Where is she? The bedroom?""Yeah, she should be getting ready.""Okay, I have to see her. I need to talk to you too." She turned to take her leave."Is anything the matter?

    "How did that even hap.. christ!!!" Aaron ran a hand over his face.Things were silent between the trio for a minute as everyone was drowned in their thoughts."So what's going to happen now? This is so humiliating. Are you sure the baby is Connor's?""I believe so," Rita answered while Lilian looked like someone that was ready to pass out.Aaron took out his phone from his pocket."What are you doing?" His wife asked."Calling Connor." He dialed the number and brought his phone to his ear.His number didn't go through.Aaron went through his contact list again in search of the alternate number."Is your Boss in the office?" He asked the moment the person on the other end picked up the call."When did he step out?""Okay, thank you." He ended the call."He's not in the office," Aaron said to Rita and Lilian."You okay," he referred to his wife."No." She took some steps back and plopped down on the edge of the bed.Aaron crouched down before her, taking her hand in his.

    "Guy!!!!! Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Ivan freaked out because at this point, it was as if he was talking to himself as Connor kept chatting away on his phone with smiles all over his face."Sorry, I was...." He started to say, but stopped to stare at his best friend."What did you say again? I stopped following when you said the negotiations with Mr. Adam didn't go well.""Really? So I've been wasting my time?"Connor chuckled, "Sorry, I have to keep in touch with my babe.""When did you turn romantic? It's quite irritating.""Are you jealous right now?""No. It's just weird seeing you this way because of a woman. You've changed so much and you are all smiley.

    The plan was to leave for California on Sunday evening but Connor got carried away with a lot of things that they ended up leaving Monday midnight.Straight from the airport where the driver picked them up, they went to Connor's private apartment. A luxurious two-bedroom apartment with the finest amenities and furniture which he owned for a year now without anyone's knowledge. Connor put Jayden to bed in the master bedroom after which he brought their luggage to the room and gave Nancy a tour of the apartment.While Nancy got acquainted with the place, Connor took a shower and got dressed since he had to be in the courthouse by 9:30"You just can't take your eyes off me, right?" He teased as he approached her, adjusting his tie."Why do you look so good in everything?"He smiled proudly, "I'm all yours so you are one hell of a lucky woman."She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him."If you keep doing that, I promise you that I'm not going to leave here.""Do you only think about se

    "I don't mean to intrude but at this point, I feel it's good if we go straight to the point and not waste anybody's time.""Connor loves you and he wants you now more than ever. If you don't feel the same way about him, let him know and if you do, maybe you should just give him a chance.""I know you still love Connor and I've always liked you for him. He has changed now. I promise I'm gonna kill him with my bare hands if he messes up again."Nancy couldn't help with the smile that crept to her lips."Did he tell you to call me?""No. I haven't spoken to him since yesterday. I felt really at peace when you said Jayden loves him already. My brother deserves the best and you're the best.""Stop flattering me, Nadie.""Connor is a sweet guy. He has come to his senses and he's going to make you happy.""I'll think about it.""Promise?"Nancy chuckled, "Okay, you are sounding like Lenora now."Nadie laughed."I'm just obsessed with you both.

    "Hi, baby.""Dad? Where are you all?""At your uncle's place.""When did you decide that? I thought we all agreed to go together. This is just past 9 am. When did you all leave?""We left at 6. We didn't want to disturb you and your guest and we checked up on Jayden. He was still sleeping.""Were you aware of this? You knew before yesterday that Connor was going to come? I feel so betrayed right now.""I had no idea, my love.""I know you're mad at me but you really need this. You both need your space. Henry is not angry that you and Jayden are not here. He understands.""That's not the point, Dad."She heard her father sigh."I spoke to Connor. We talked at length.""So what now? You forgave him for ruining your daughter's life.""Don't try to pin anything on me to avoid your reality, Nancy. I saw and heard you both last night before you retired to your room with him.""It's obvious that your heart yearns for him and I'm not going to stand in the way no matter how I feel because this

    "Why are you shy about this? There's no way you are going to avoid this conversation.""What now? You're into babies? I thought you don't like kids?""That was before. Jayden made me change my mind.""You don't expect me to believe that.""You should because it's the truth.""I love us together already.""Jayden looks so much like me and it just makes me curious to want to have a daughter with you. I'm hoping she's going to take after your appearance.""You just wanna get into my pants.""I know you know that's not true. Just prepare your mind because it's definitely going to happen.""For someone who is still trying to earn my trust, you seem too confident. Don't you think so?"Connor smiled shyly. "I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. But you should have it in mind that I can be quite persistent when it comes to what I want.""You don't have to feel uncomfortable about it. It's going to be when you are ready.""Mama, Dada, are you done kiss kiss?" The little voice came throug

    "He's in my room. Let's go."With the help of his mommy, Jayden got down from the bed.He hurriedly put his feet into his Crocs. "Ready Mommy."Nancy chuckled, smiling down at her son's legs."You might want to correct that baby."Looking down at his feet, smiling shyly, Jayden changed the way he wore his shoes by putting each one on the correct leg.Once done, he intertwined his hand with his mother's own who was already on her feet.Then they both exited Jayden's room.The moment they got to Nancy's room, seeing that Connor was still sleeping, she quietly shut the door after they helped themselves in, and crouched towards Jayden whose eyes were glued to the person on the bed."That's my Dada?" He whispered, smiling, an act he learned from his uncles, Kylan and David whenever someone was sleeping.Nancy nodded. "You wanna go say Hi to him?""Dada is sleeping!" He whispered, making Nancy chuckle."He's been dying to see you so it's okay to wake him up. He's not going to be mad at you.

    "This is not fair." She mumbled, trying to suppress a moan."What? Why do you say so?" He whispered, the desire in his voice not going unnoticed."What are you doing to me? You are meant to make me sleepy.""Oh, you are not sleepy?" He feigned innocence, still playing with her boobs under her dress."You're not being fair, Connor" She grumbled."Sorry my Queen, I'm trying to make you sleep in the best way I know. Or is there any other method you like that you intend to tell me of?""Connor!!!!" She groaned."Yes baby, I'm all yours. I love it so much when you call me by my name.""My room isn't soundproof?" She explained."So?""Don't be dumb, we are gonna wake everyone in the house. Jayden's room is next door.""What are you trying to tell me? Be direct. Don't go through corners." He said, applying pressure, and playing with her nipples."I'm not trying to tell you anything. You're the one distracting me." She moaned, trying to keep her voice low."Oh really?

    "She has everything to do with us. I know how much she humiliated me to stay away from you and in the end, you picked her over me."Connor grumbled, massaging his temple. "Please stop. I thought we settled this already.""Having uncomfortable conversations is part of it. I have to know what I'm into and what's to come. I see no ring on your finger but that's still not enough proof that you're done with her."Connor sighed."There's nothing between us, I promise you.""I only agreed to marry her to escape my responsibilities to you. I never loved her, nothing ever worked. We lived in the same house but we had different rooms and hardly saw each other. When she's home, I'm away on a business trip, when I'm home she's probably on tour or something.""I started the divorce process but got no strength to pursue it after that fucker agent told me that there was no baby and that you had moved on.""But lately, things between myself and her have been so crazy that I really got back into the p
