All Chapters of After A One Night Stand : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

JADEI stood in front of Max Anderson's door and my heart raced uncontrollably. I had many times imagined how special my first time would be with the love of my life, Henry, but now I was about to sell it away.I summoned up the courage I needed and knocked on the door."Come in," a voice replied from inside.I pushed the door and it opened. I walked into the room and saw Max Anderson sitting on the bed with a towel around his waist and empty bottles of wine on the table beside his bed. There had been so many scandals surrounding him but he never seemed to care about them. His most prominent name was 'man whore' and I detested people like him but there I was, in his room, in the club where I worked, ready to give myself to him."I was told you are a virgin," he said without sparing me a glance, as his gaze remained fixed on his phone.I nodded, "Yes I am.He laughed and finally looked at me, scrutinizing me from my head to my toes, "I'm not going to be fooled twice. Hold on, I'll have

JADE"What? How can you say I disgust you?" I asked. "Henry, it's me, Jade, the one who went above and beyond to save your life.""Yes," he replied. "I know you are the Jade who saved my life, and also the Jade who stabbed me in the back.""I stabbed you in the back?" I asked, puzzled. "What are you talking about, Henry?""Don't pretend before me, Jade." He snapped. "I know how you went about having sex with different men at your place of work."I shook my head, "No, baby, I didn't do such a thing."He scoffed, "You didn't do such a thing? Tell me, how did you get the money you paid for my treatment?""Well, actually," I tried to explain. "Listen, Henry, it's not.....""Don't tell me that," he yelled, interrupting me. "Yes, I am grateful for what you did, but you know I would never have given my consent for you to do that. How could you betray me in such a way?""Henry, you were dying, and your mom told me to do whatever was necessary. I never planned to do such a thing. I went to my

JADEI suddenly freaked out, "No, doctor! This cannot be! This pregnancy is going to ruin my life. Please help me, I need to get rid of it. I cannot keep it.""You need to calm down," the doctor replied. "If you want to get rid of this pregnancy, it can be done. However, we need the consent of the father.""But I'm not married, and he doesn't even know," I replied."I'm sorry, but that's just it." The doctor responded.As I left the health center and returned to my workplace, I decided that I would hide my pregnancy for the time being and save up enough money. Afterward, I would go to a different hospital where I'd be allowed to get rid of the pregnancy without the consent of the father.I returned to work like nothing had happened but the constant morning sickness made life difficult for me. Nevertheless, I continued to do my best and did whatever I could to get tips.Two months later, after gathering a sufficient amount of money, I planned to visit the hospital the next day for the

JADE"This is not about what you want," Max's father responded. "Yes, you don't want to be a father, but you put the child in there. Who else would take responsibility for it? Me? I'm too old for that!""So what am I supposed to do with her?" Max shot back. "Because she's pregnant, she gets to be my wife and....?""Hey, no one said anything about getting married." His father cut him off."I don't want to marry you, Max" I chipped in. "I have no intention of doing that.""Oh really? Isn't that what a gold digger would say?" Max asked me."She's just like the other girls, Dad. They'll do anything to get their claws into me." He tried to convince his father."Then why did you let them get close enough?" his father questioned."I'm very sorry, Max." I butted in again. "I know that I wasn't supposed to get pregnant."He scoffed, "Oh you knew?"Turning to his father, he said earnestly, "Dad, I gave this girl a hundred thousand dollars. I remember it because I've never paid that much money f

JADEAfter Max angrily left my room, I stood by the window and stared at his car as he drove out of the compound.I didn't like the fact that he was angry with me but what could I do? He seemed different from the man who had spoken to me so calmly the night I lost my virginity. But I guess that's the nature of men. They would say or do anything to get what they wanted, and Henry was the first man who taught me that. I had just three months left before becoming a mother.I didn't know what was going to happen then, but I was sure of one thing; I would get back up. But first, I needed to find out what Max's father's plans for me were.Right at that moment, he knocked on my door. He had bought so many things for me that I didn't even know existed. I watched as they were being delivered into my room and neatly arranged so I would not have to move a muscle.Seeing their grandfather so excited to meet my unborn children filled me with so much hope for the future."Thank you so much, Mr. An
