LESLIE'S POV

I stuttered as Saint's eyes remained trained on me. He was not backing down unless I answered him.

What should I say? Saying no felt awkward since my husband was right in front of me and even asked me the question.

Saying yes doesn't sound right either. We were in a contractual marriage and we haven't revealed our marriage to anyone either.

Did he want to reveal it here?

“Uhm…does my marital status have anything to do with me getting the job?” I asked hesitantly.

“Not necessarily,

    KAYLA’S POVThe silence that descended after my declaration was very loud. Mum and Mitch stood frozen, their wide eyes on me as if I had said the most absurd thing in the world.“Mum?" My voice trembled and that seemed to jolt her out of that state.“Did I hear you wrong? Have I gotten so old that I'm starting to hear things?” She shook her head. “Mum, you are not hearing things. Desmond is really the father of my child." I wringed my hands.“Keep your mouth shut and stop repeating that bullshit," she yelled, not caring about the weird looks we got. “Do you think this is some kind of joke? The Whitmires are our biggest enemy. I haven't even accepted this child you sprung up on me yet what? It belongs to a Whitmire?”“Let's find somewhere private to talk." Mitch held mum back. “People are watching us.”"Does this place have a private room?” Mum asked."They don't but I can get one. The owner is my friend,” Desmond said.Ten minutes later, we were in a small but comfortable lounge room

    KAYLA'S POVDesmond buried his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders. “No." Disappointment and mortification washed over me and I stepped away from the car wishing I could enter the ground. "Then, there's no reason for me to go anywhere with you.”"Don't be silly, Kayla.”"I am not being silly.” A breath escaped my lips. "You're so different from the man I met in the club that night and that's why I misunderstood. If I stay with you and you keep treating me like…like…like I am somebody special, I would continue to misunderstand your intentions.”"Of course, you're somebody special,” he frowned. "We are bound by a baby and I want to take care of you and our child.” “Is that why you want to get married to me too?" I chuckled harshly. I had no idea why I was asking questions I already knew the answers to.“Yes.”I turned away. "That's dumb. People don't get married simply because there is a child between them. Co-parenting is a thing that exists, you know.”“Well, I don't wan

    KAYLA'S POVI was alone again.A sad smile stretched on my lips as I looked at the corridor filled with pregnant women and their partners once again. I guess Desmond finding out didn't change anything.But then, I didn't think I should blame him. After all, I've refused to let him in by not replying to his text messages or agreeing to see him. It was only natural for him to stop caring.This was still his child though. He could have at least showed up.I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, I had such conflicting emotions everyday. How was he supposed to show up when I didn't even tell him about it? I had no idea what was wrong with me. Time rolled by slowly and soon, my name was called up. I grabbed my bag and pushed it up my shoulder. I jumped when I turned towards the doctor's door and almost rammed my nose in Desmond's sturdy chest.“What…what are you doing here?” My mouth fell open. I looked around to make sure I wasn't imagining him due to my desperation. But even after so

    LESLIE'S POVHe put me down slowly and kissed my neck, his hands working on my buttons. My lips parted as he slid my shirt off my shoulder, baring my bra-clad breasts to him.That familiar fascinated look in his eyes had me clenching and rubbing my thighs together. He cupped my breasts with his hands, squeezing them together as he kissed them over my bra.His hand slipped to my back and undid my bra in one quick stroke while I pulled off his suit jacket and shirt. He latched onto my breasts as soon as it was off and a shaky moan escaped my lips.“Shhh, you promised to be quiet.” He raised his head, his lips wet and pink. I nodded and pressed my lips to his, diving my tongue in his mouth as I kicked off my trousers, leaving me in just my panties. He immediately swiped me up into his arms again, leading us forward until my back pressed against the closed door. He breathed heavily as one of his hands crept beneath me to undo the belt of his pants, his hard member resting on my ass.I ga

    LESLIE’S POVHe stared at me with widened eyes for a minute and I shifted uneasily on my foot. I just wasn't ready to part with him yet so I asked him. Was I too forward?“You…you don't have to, if you don't want to.” I scrambled to say. “Thank you for driving me home. If you…” I got cut off when he jumped out of the car and hurried to me. "Woah.”"Can I really come in?” His face stretched in a wide grin.I chuckled and slipped my hand in his. I've wanted to do that all day. "Of course, you can.”His thumb caressed the back of my hand. "But your mum…I'm empty handed. I can run to the store real quick to get a gift for her." “It's okay. I'm sure she would be excited to see you regardless. You can get something next time." I pulled him into the complex and towards the elevator. I chuckled as he wringed his hands all the way up, his body taut with tension. “Calm down, would you?" “What if she does not like me?" “I have not seen her dislike anybody." I walked to the door. “I actually t

    SAINT’S POVMy eyes stayed wide open as her soft lips stayed pressed to mine. Was I yearning for her so much that I conjured her up? She pulled away and winked before walking up the stairs to sit at the back while I stared after her like a fool. I cleared my throat and took my seat, even though my heart pounded in my chest.“What's going on? The news said they are getting divorced, right?" “I'm shocked as well. No couple about to get divorced kisses like that.”"So we've been duped by the news.”The murmurs of the directors close to me reached my ears and I smirked. I ended up taking help from Leslie. "Decorum, please. The results will be out soon so let's all wait patiently for it.” The chairperson spoke into the mic.I grabbed my phone and opened my chat wall with Leslie while we waited. It has been a while since any message was sent between us. I chewed on my lips and wondered if I should send one to her now.While I thought about it, a message came in from her and I almost jump
