“Babe, can I call you back later? I just got out of a meeting concerning the Julius and Myres company”. Leila said in a calm tone. She was beyond stressed, she had met Harold when her life was falling apart and he picked her up and made her who she was today. She was not supposed to base her entire life and success story on a man but Harold really did a lot for her.

The day she met him, she wanted to take her own life, she was about to jump into a lagoon but someone held her back, he pulled her back and fed her then he took her to his house and she had a hot tub waiting for her with an housekeeper who assisted her to take her bath, it was all dreamy and Cinderella-ish. She only read about those sort of stories in fantasy book where Cinderella meets Prince Charming in a time of distress and she ends up being saved by him. But she was no Cinderella and Harold was no Prince Charming. He was not bad looking at all but he didn’t come close to Gavin Hasters. In short, She thought Harold w

    “Is it going to me be or Adele?” Leila repeated again. She was done being the understanding one, she had decided to keep the baby for a reason and she will not get stepped on by either Gavin or Adele.Gavin stood there dumbfounded, he still could not believe that Leila was pregnant. He was going to be a father of two children from two women. He sighed heavily, words not coming out from his mouth.“Answer me Gavin! Her or me!?” She said glaring at him. She had all night to do this.Gavin rubbed his eye, “Come in first, let us sit and talk about this like two matured adults”“Okay”, She said without arguing.Gavin led her in and pulled her to the couch, sitting directly opposite her. “When did you find out?”Without batting an eye, she replied, “Few days ago. I did not tell you because I was contemplating whether to keep it or not. No offense but you have not been the perfect boyfriend lately. These past few days have been hectic and being with you has been a rollercoaster on its own,

    “I made you dinner” Jordan said in a sweet voiceShe did not know if his voice was sweet or she was the one thinking it was that way because of the fact that she had started to forgive him. It did not hurt whenever his name popped into her mind. Maybe he was actually all changed. “Thank you Jordan. You really did not have to” Leila replied after an eternity. Her mind was occupied, she was contemplating informing Jordan that she was pregnant already. One mind was telling her that she needed to tell him, he was still her husband and they were living under the same roof and the other mind was saying that she should not tell him since the father of the baby also did not know about the baby’s existence. “I made your favorite though, Hurry before it gets cold” Jordan said calmly. Leila actually smiled, a sincere smile, it was not forced at all and she had started to actually like Jordan staying with her. She thought about Gavin again, she could not get the man out of her head.She sighed

    “Why did the board members hold a meeting without informing me!!????!” Gavin raged, looking at Armstrong with bloodshot eyes. “Because you were the center of attention” Gavin gave him a bigger smile, “What do you mean center of attention? Does that even sound right to you?” Armstrong took a deep breath, “Mr. Hasters, whenever someone is employed in this company, they are expected to sign a contract and in this contract, love relationships are not allowed because it affects work activities and efficiency. I am surprised you do not know about this” Gavin took a pause as he searched for the right words to say, he could not deny the fact that employees were not allowed to date In the work premises but he was the president of the company and that should make him immune to that silly contract. He did not say this to Armstrong though, he did not want to come off as a self-entitled kind of person. “But I should still have been informed even if I was not welcome to the meeting like you

    “One American iced tea please” Leila said to the waiter at her favorite coffee shop, she wanted to take alcohol on her way back home from Emily’s place but she caught herself fast enough, she was pregnant, it still felt alien to her, the way she was, a life was growing inside of her, it felt terrifying and peaceful at the same time and she could not explain why. Her stomach growled angrily and she silently cursed while looking around to make sure nobody heard. On a normal day, she would have stayed hungry till the next day but now she had to eat something because of the baby, everything was changing so fast. “You can have your order ma’am” the waiter said in a polite voice. Leila scanned his name tag, “Thank you Thomas” In front of the coffee shop, she contemplated calling Gavin to inform him about the pregnancy but she decided against it, they were not really in a good place and Gavin was already expecting a child from Adele, she could not just tell him without having a plan. She

    “Would you just get a pregnancy test kit?” Emily asked gently, concern written all over her face. Leila had called her after work and went straight to her place, she would have told Frank but it was girly advice and support that she needed, he would not understand. And she had Jordan staying over at her apartment so she could not just go home. “What if it is positive?” Leila said in a tired voice. “Then we will figure it out. You have a paying job and the baby has a father right?” Leila scratched her brows with her thumb, “It is very complicated Em, the person In question is my boss and he recently broke things off with his pregnant fiancée, Adele Cooper, who has it out for me. Can you now see why I am panicking?” Emily stared at her In surprise, “Wow, you have a lot going on, but let’s not jump into conclusion, it can’t be that bad honestly. Let us take the test first, I already got the test kit when you called me and since I would not want you to feel alone, how about we take

    “What do you want to talk about?” Leila asked Gavin slowly. When she got the text message from him, she was scared at first but after a few minutes, the fear turned into curiosity. “You clearly lied to me about your marital status! How do you expect me to get past that?” Gavin shouted “Please, reduce your voice, we are still in the company premises and I would not want anybody to think it is because we have a thing” Leila hushed him. Gavin rolled his eyes, “ That is the truth, we have a thing like you said and I think you should answer my question, I deserve an answer” Leila cleaned the bead of sweat on her forehead with the tissue paper she got from her bag, “What question is that?” Her voice was weak, she needed to rest well, she had not gotten enough rest after the trip she made to pick up Jordan from the penitentiary. “How do we get past you lying to me about your marital status?” Gavin repeated. Leila gave a bitter laugh, “Lied? Lied? We did not talk about it and you did n
