The family had gathered in their large spacious living room and everyone was seated silently waiting for the meeting to begin. Well, some were crying, some were murmuring and others were still in shock.Mrs. Gray was the first to break the silence and she began by questioning the presence of Anna in the room. The young simple girl from downtown was trying to not get bewildered by the massive living room she had found herself. Like she noticed the first time, this family loved nature, the designs in the sitting room told it all.Aside from being very spacious, they had very costly pieces of nature hanging at every corner of the room. The chandelier was designed like a branch of a tree. There were tiny sculptures of Viking ships on some counters and flower vases on several others.“I understand bringing her home, but why into our house and why in this meeting with us? You should have left her outside in the compound, we would feel much safer that way than in a private family meeting.” M
“Shame on you for saying such a thing!! Is this what you think of everyone? You think everyone wants your money?? If this is what being rich is all about, then I am very glad to be poor. If being rich means that you believe everyone wants your money, if that is the case, I do not want to be rich. You think your money can solve everything in the world? You think everything can be bought with money? I am carrying a human in me and all you can think to offer is money… Does this baby even matter to you? Sorry to say this Mr. Jackson Gray, but your money is not the solution to my problem… If I wanted your money, I would file a case against you and I wouldn’t even need the city’s best lawyer to win that case, I would only need one with a good heart.” Anna blurted in anger, she was so pissed by his question that she wouldn’t hold herself back anymore.“Hey, you wretched thing, don’t you dare talk to Mr. Gray in that manner? Do you realize he can buy your entire existence ten times over?” Je
“I knew it!! This is what you wanted all along, that is why you are playing saint. You want to be a baby mama for a billionaire, huh? You want to be a part of this family, at the end it all falls down to money. You want to be collecting child support, don’t you? Keeping this child will make you mother of the first heir and puts you in a position to get wealth someday when your son takes over, that is if you do have a boy. Admit it that you are a greedy bitch, forget all this self-righteous show that you have put up here today, forget all this drama and admit that you are playing the long term game.” Jenny accused her.“You keep mentioning the word Billionaire like you are obsessed with it, what if those are your true intentions? Only a thief knows another thief? So if you think I am one, it is probably because you are too. So tell me Jane or whatever you call yourself, are you marrying Stephen here because he is a billionaire?” Anna slowly dished out the violence.“Way to go, sister
There was silence between the two of them as he drove her home, she had actually asked to go on her own but he had adamantly refused and insisted he took her home himself. With all the drama that had occurred today, he didn’t trust anyone else to do the job. Anna fixed her gaze outside the window and admired the view, or maybe she was just avoiding eye contact with him.“I am sorry.” Stephen finally broke the silence in a calm reserved voice.“Huh?” Anna muttered and turned to face him like she had not heard him the first time. She however put up a convincing face of confusion to support her reaction.“I said I am sorry, for the way my parents treated you back there, it wasn’t right.” He said.Anna sighed, the only thing not right was him forcefully sticking his dick into her body, but she didn’t say that, it was just the way she felt. Of course, she had still not let go of that night even after two months, she was yet to heal from it and this baby bump was one of the reasons why it w
Anna’s heart skipped when she saw her mother standing in front of the house, she knew she must have been waiting for, she had left without informing anyone, she just left a note saying she would be back but she never specified where she was going or what she was going to do. She has been depressed these past few days so her mother might have thought that she would try and end her own life; that is why she had left the no-so reassuring letter before leaving.Stephen was the first to get out of the car and he walked to the other side and opened the door for Anna. Of course she had tried to open it on her own but the billionaire CEO had locked it on purpose, he didn’t think it was lady-like to open the door for yourself and so he wouldn’t give her the chance to embarrass them both.Anna stepped out of the car and rolled her eyes at him as she realized what he had done, but he just smiled back at her, looking pleased with himself and his action.“Sorry sweetheart, but I wasn’t going to le
Stephen arrived at home and headed straight to his room to try and avoid any discussions with other members of the family. He knew for a fact that they were mad at him, even his father who had supported his decision early today was angry with him for embarrassing the family today at the church. Anna might have been the one to disrupt the wedding but it was all because of him, he put the plan in motion back at that hotel when he forced himself on her.Stephen got to his room and noticed that the door was half-open, someone was either in there or had gone in there not long ago. He wondered who would be in his room as the family knew that he was out with one of the cars, he slowly pushed the door completely open and walked in.Sitting inside there was Jenny; of course, he knew he was going to have a talk with her tonight, he just didn’t expect it this soon. She was the most disappointed of them all today, it was supposed to be her big day but he ruined it, so he did understand her pain.
“Anastasia, your mother might have gossiped about you to me, so why don’t you tell me what happened today?” Mr. McCurry uttered.“Uhm-hmm!!” Mrs. McCurry cleared her throat in an attention seeking manner. “I think you meant why don’t she tell us, because she hasn’t really said anything to me either.” She said,Anastasia chuckled and dropped the fork. “Mom, you don’t have to be so dramatic all the time. Anyway, what happened today was that I went to see Stephen Gray. He was getting married today and I wanted him to know about the child before he made that decision. I had no plans of disrupting the wedding but I might have ended up doing that.” She narrated.Her parents stopped eating and stared at each other, then slowly they turned back to her. “What are you saying? You crashed their wedding?” her father asked with a genuine look of concern and worry etched on his aged face.“Yeah, I walked into the church hall just after they had said their vows and were about to be pronounced husban
“Yes, something has to be done immediately.” Jenny said over the phone, and then she paused suddenly, she believed she had heard footsteps and so she turned around immediately.Laura stood there smiling at her. “So what is the queen of Snapchat discussing secretly in the kitchen so late at night?” she asked with a smirk.Jenny scoffed and rolled her eyes, Laura’s sudden presence had scared the life out of her. “Something that is none of your business, what do you want? You know they don’t keep alcohol in the kitchen so I guess you have staggered into the wrong place,” she mocked.Laura giggled and relaxed against the kitchen table. “You think you are funny? Well, hell yes you are. In fact you are a big joke! Your marriage got canceled today and you are still here, hoping that things would work out in your favor, then I love to break it to you sweetheart, you are the fool of the year. You aren’t in some fancy hotel and city or country celebrating Honeymoon with my brother tonight and y
