KENNA"Kenna, do you have any idea what time it is?" Greg McAllister snapped as she entered the dressing room."I'm so sorry. It's just that my landlord was on my back and—" she stuttered"I don't want to hear any excuses, girly. You're always late. The only reason why I haven't fired you yet is because you have a pretty smile and customers like you. Other than that, you would've been gone a long time ago." My boss, Greg McAllister, lectured me with a frown on his chubby face.I sighed through my mouth. "I know, I know. I'm just sorry. I won't let it happen again." I apologized, and he waved his wrist in dismissal."Whatever. I don't care anyway. Go brush your hair and freshen your makeup because two men booked our private lounge. They requested for our best and most discreet worker, which happens to you." Greg told me, and I parted my lips.Our private lounge was really exclusive and so for these men to book the entire place for themselves, meant they must've been incredibly rich. Un

KENNAI woke up alone the next morning to bright sunlight glaring at me and my body tangled between the sheets. Memories of what I did last night came crashing down on me like a heavy wave. I had sex with a stranger. And not only that, but he didn't use protection."What is wrong with me?" I asked myself in a murmur. I was incredibly careless last night. What if I got pregnant? No way, that couldn't happen. Not in a million years would it ever be possible for me to get pregnant from a one-night stand. I was just worried about nothing.I hoped… "Sean, are you still here?" I asked in a groggy voice as I forced myself out of the bed and walked around the room, searching for him.I couldn't find him anywhere. He left me here. I went back to the room to pick up my clothes, then I found a note by the bedstand.I had an amazing time last night. Thank you.Underneath the note was a wad of hundred-dollar bills that had me gaping at the sight."Does he think that I'm a hooker?" I asked mysel

KENNATwo months later… I was pregnant. It wasn't verified yet but I knew I was pregnant. Pungent smells made me feel like puking, the foods I used to adore disgusted me, I threw up for no reason, and I was always hungry."Kenna, are you sure about this? I mean you could just be going overboard here." Nikki said to me as she stockpiled our grocery cart with different kinds of pregnancy tests."I'm not going overboard. I know it. I feel pregnant. But even if I'm not, I just need to make sure of it." I said in a down tone, and she nodded her head.We got to my small apartment half an hour later, and I grabbed about six of the tests with me to the restroom and used all of them. I came out and set them on the table, waiting."How long is this going to take?" Nikki asked me in an impatient tone.I sighed, then glanced at my phone. "Two minutes, tops," I answered. Then as time went by, different thoughts started to cross my mind."Let's say that I am pregnant, how am I going to find the f

KENNAMy first course of action was to talk to Greg and ask him who Sean was. Unfortunately for me, he took a vacation for two weeks and instructed the other workers to tell Nikki and me not to contact him for anything other than a life and death-matter.Today was the day that he was going to return to work and I was fully prepared. I knocked on his office door and waited to hear a grunt in reply before I stepped in."What is it, girly? If it doesn't have to do with me making a ton of money, then leave the office." Greg said in a gruff manner before he turned to look at me.I rolled my eyes. "This is incredibly serious," I told him as I took a seat on the chair across from him. "What happened?" He raised a curious brow. "I'm pregnant." I blurted out. His lips parted and I saw how shock flashed on his features before he cackled."You got a boyfriend now or…?""You remember those two men who booked the entire private lounge months ago. The one I went home with. He's the only one I've

KENNA My heart was beating way too fast and my legs felt too heavy for my body weight, I was dragging myself to move closer to the magnificent building in front of me.“I have to do this … I don’t have any choice!” I closed my eyes and reminded myself, breathing heavily to calm myself down.Looking around the inner building with awe and amazement while some passerby fixed their gaze on me like I had lost my mind, I wouldn’t blame them because I would have thought the same if I was someone else.“Ma’am welcome to our cooperation, please what can we do for you?” a young lady with so much makeup walked toward me to ask, the “please” in her sentence felt weird because she was gnawing at me and wasn't smiling. Instead, she had this annoyed look.I realised at once that I had been standing in one place for over ten minutes. I shook my head at her and cleared my throat. “Uhmmmm, I came … Can I? Hmmm” my eyes were wide open In fear. I realized that I couldn’t breathe properly as tension and

SEAN“Brian don’t look at me like that! You know too well what these women have put me through, I can’t even trust my mother, she tried to force Monica on me too!” I yelled at my best friend.Knowing fully well that she wants me to be happy, she’s always telling me how happy and fulfilled he is since she married my dad and gave him a handsome and intelligent baby boy.“Look here… I also wish to have my own family and someone who will love me for me not for my money and influence but there’s none, that woman would never open her legs without knowing who I am, she did it to lie about being pregnant!” I proclaimed again.Trying to force my breath to stabilize, Brian's eyes were assessing me carefully before sauntering to one of the refrigerators in my big office to pour himself a chilled blue wine; his favourite, he took a full gulp, then belched loudly.“You know me too well that I’m good with instinct and I will repeat over again… that Kenna girl isn’t like Monica or the rest of them,

KENNA A week later “I will not allow you to insult me again, not today! I stayed away all this while for my peace of mind and your men kept coming to my place to harass me, what do you want from me?” I barked at him.Although I’m scared of him and the power he wields, right now he’s beginning to frustrate me. As if the insult he gave me the last time I went to his office wasn’t enough he kept sending his men to convince me to come to his house for a meeting!“I don’t have anything now and I’m so poor that I was contemplating removing this baby but yet I didn’t bother you so stop staring at me! What do you want?” I asked again, dropping my bag so I could flex my hand muscles properly to gesticulate. “You don't have to scream at the top of your lungs, my mother is listening in on us and you don’t want her to be fixated on you, you can as well testify that she’s not so nice” he spoke to me softly.I didn’t expect him to be so calm when talking, this is because he’s always shouting and

KENNA Monica slapped me hard again, this time it was stronger and sharper than the last one on my right cheek but I couldn’t do anything. She and Sean’s mother had been terrorizing me and I could do nothing about it.“You think you can hold my man down with this nonsense in your womb? Just know that you cannot win this battle and my man will come back to me one way or the other!” She screamed at me.I immediately dodged the next blow coming my way and held my chin, refusing to cry, that’s the only thing I have been doing since I agreed to get married to Sean two weeks ago.“Nobody is dragging Sean with you, I just want my peace, please let me be, please… please” All I can do is beg and hope they will leave me alone.“She’s such a pathetic thing, Sean’s won’t save you from us and you can’t even stand up for yourself! I pity you now” Sean's mother shot at me before she and Monica burst into a loud and long laughter.“You think agreeing to be his wife for ten years so you can be with yo

SEAN The attraction I was feeling for Kenna intensified as each day passed and I had to force my heart into closing its eyes to whatever my mother or Monica was doing to her.The fact that I didn’t care made her sad but I wanted it to stay exactly that way. My heart wasn’t cooperating with me but because I am stubborn, it was easy for me to pretend and stay away from Kenna even though she tried to be friends with me.“You are nothing but my baby mother, an incubator to bring forth my child to me, so don’t try to be friendly or have a conversation with me”“If you need anything ask the elder maid or my mother!” I had shouted at her one day, even though I know my mother loathes her mere presence and wanted Monica to be in my house instead of Kenna, but due to all that I have gone through at the hands of women, I swore to stay away from anything or anyone that will hurt my feelings and trust again.My behaviour was hurting and making Kenna sad because she was always complaining to Brian

“We have a party to attend this evening,” Sean said as he opened the door to the room, he looked angry and I wondered why, I’m supposed to be the one angry.“Okay “I replied rolling my eyes at him. I was still angry after what he did yesterday. “I can’t believe I’m being treated like this, just yesterday he disgraced me at the bar and now he wants me to attend a party with him,” I murmured angrily as I walked up the stairs.“Arhhgg! I don’t even know what to wear for the party. I screamed in frustration as I searched through my bag for a dress to wear.“This is going to be one of those events where business partners and other shareholders will attend so I have to look my best,” I thought to myself while trying to pick a good outfit for the event.After a few hours of searching and testing all my clothes, I finally picked one, it was the dress Nikki bought for me for my last birthday. It was still good I said to myself as I started at my reflection in the mirror. “Just a little adjus
