Sold By Her Boyfriend; Pregnant By The Billionaire

At 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, Doris Martin, a tall, slender, fair-skinned 22-year-old woman, received a text message notification on her phone.

She had finished baking a surprise birthday cake for her boyfriend, Kelvin Coker, and intended to lose her virginity that evening.

Doris rushed to pick up the phone from the plastic chair and read the text message on the screen.

Kelvin: [Doris, come to Robin's Five Star Hotel, Room 305, and meet me there. I plan to celebrate my birthday with you.]

Doris: [Really? I'll be there.] She replied without asking questions or calling the number. She packed the small white cake she had baked while learning at culinary school.

Doris stepped out of the kitchen and found her mother, Esther Melvin, in the living room.

Esther worked as a janitor at the Robin's company and used her money to support Doris since her husband abandoned her to remarry a woman from a wealthy family.

Esther came from a poor background and felt terrible that she couldn't support Doris's dream to continue her education, despite Doris graduating with distinction.

"Mom," Doris rushed to meet her mother, excited and wearing a blue dress she had worn while baking the cake for her 24-year-old boyfriend, Kelvin Coker.

"Mom, I want to rush and bathe. Kelvin invited me to Robin's Five Star Hotel. He plans to propose and marry me," Doris said, her cheeks flushed as she looked at her mother's face.

Esther wore a brown top and black skirt with the Robin's inscription on the back. She frowned when she heard mention of the hotel.

"Doris, you cannot go there. I told you that you must not lose your virginity until you're married," Esther said, trying to stop her daughter.

"No, Mom!" Doris pulled her hands away from her mother's grip.

"All my friends have lost their virginity to their boyfriends. Kelvin loves me very much. If I don't sleep with him, he might cheat on me, and I don't want that," Doris said firmly, and her mother scowled.

"Doris, your father used this same trick on me 19 years ago. I was young and foolish. After he married me, he left me for Nora, who was richer and from a wealthy family. Please, don't go," Esther begged, trying to stop her daughter.

But Doris had already made up her mind.

"Mom, I don't want to hear about Dad. He was dishonest with you, but Kelvin is different. I have to go." Doris rushed to the bathroom of the self-contained apartment she shared with her mother.

Once she finished bathing, Doris stepped out smiling, put on a short red dress and black shoes, and wanted to look attractive for Kelvin.

Doris's phone chimed once more. The notification captured her attention, and she rushed to pick up the phone.

She read the text message: Kelvin: [Where are you, Doris? It's getting late.]

[I'll be there. Please give me about an hour.] Doris texted back, knowing that Robin's Hotel was far from the neighborhood where she lived with her mother.

Past 5 p.m., Kelvin texted: [I'm waiting, my love.]

Doris smiled and rushed out of her room. She had styled her long blonde hair to fall down her back and checked her dress, which she had bought with her savings.

Doris felt bad about disobeying her mother, but she believed she wouldn't end up like her mother had.

Before Doris exited her room, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. She was adorable. She quickly called Ella.

"Hello, Ella. Guess what?"

"What is it?" Ella asked lazily. She was with Kelvin in another hotel room, waiting for Doris to arrive.

"Kelvin invited me to meet him at Robin's Hotel. I'm nervous. You know this is my first time," Doris said anxiously.

"Aw, I'm so happy for you, Doris. You shouldn't keep Kelvin waiting. I'm sure he'll appreciate it," Ella replied gently, urging Doris to go.

"Alright, I'll call you later," Doris said before disconnecting the call. She stepped out of her room and met her mother in the parlor.

Esther was still pacing.

"Mom, why haven't you gone to work? You'll be late and might lose your job," Doris said as she rushed to pick up the cake she had baked for Kelvin.

"Doris, I'm not trying to stop you from going. But please, promise me that you'll use protection and won't lose yourself like that," Esther pleaded, and Doris's cheeks flushed.

"Mom, how can you say that? Well, I don't even know if Kelvin will touch me. But I'll be careful. Don't worry," Doris assured her mother with a smile before her heart calmed down.

Esther nodded and escorted Doris out of the apartment.

"Come on, let's go. You know I work for the Robin's Group, but I'm a janitor at the company. I wish I were staff at the hotel so I could keep an eye on you," Esther said, her tone laced with anxiety as she worried about what might happen to her daughter.

'What if Kelvin had ulterior motives against Doris?' Besides, Esther didn't like him. He was a rich kid.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine. Take care of yourself, and I'll call you," Doris said, and Esther nodded.

"Got it."

They stepped out of the yard and made their way to the road. Once they got into a public bus, Esther and Doris sat together. Other passengers filled the bus. The air was thick with dusty wind and the scent of different perfumes.

Upon arriving at their destination, Esther got off at the Robin's company, while Doris remained anxious with her cake and got off at the impressive hotel entrance.

Taking a deep breath, Doris steadied herself, held the cake in a white plastic bag, and walked into the hotel gate.
