Louis[POV]
While in my office, I was extremely occupied reading paper works from unfinished projects and contracts I had signed with major top business companies around the business world.
Meanwhile I had my men on alert for any updated event. My enemies may seem to have grown silent but they're still on the lookout for any possible flaw to attack again. My past had sharpened me into becoming who I am today. I spent most of my years learning how to defend myself from them. I had grown in power and had authority to control people making them fall in line to my every command and play by my rules.
About a month ago, Penelope started acting up.I decided to make some deep inquiry about important details, I had left out during the interview.
I had made my selection rapidly now I'm in total regret. I didn't properly verify her character for any loopholes or misconduct.
Her agency cover up most of her secrets and made it hard to detect, I recently discovered that she was linked with a serious attempted murder case about six months ago. Based on my finding, Penelope had a crush on a movie director but her feelings were not reciprocated. Instead he fell for her Assistant when she discovered they were in a relationship, she fired the girl instantly.
A week later, Her assistant was found raped and beaten almost to death in a dump site. Such an important detail about her past was hidden away from me. Her agency had made all evidence of her brutality disappear into thin air as she went into hiding from the public eyes for a particular period of time. Getting married to me would give her a massive comeback in both wealth and power.
My instinct tells me that this was not the first time such an incident had taken place. I struck my fist so hard on my L-shaped glass top office desk in frustration wishing I could change the hands of time. I just hope my son doesn't get any part of her bad blood since his DNA would be a combination of both parents.
I hope he doesn't inherit her psychopathic traits and inhumane behavior.
Frankly speaking, I was so disappointed in myself for endangering the future of my unborn child. This would be linked to his birth once the media gets to know about our engagement. I would make sure my son stays in my custody when he is born and also keep a close watch on his mother.
It has been two months since Penelope had my sperm implanted inside her. I made plans to visit the clinic to confirm if she was really pregnant. We had gone through the first stage already, once her pregnancy is confirmed I would get engaged to her, then prepare for our wedding.
"Please ma'am !, you can't go inside " My secretary's voiced threads as she reached my office with Penelope who had now entered with much confidence then the last time she was here. she had blossom in her true form.
"Sorry your highness, she rushed past me without booking for an appointment "
My secretary apologized while explaining Penelope's inappropriate behavior.
" Shut up! You filthy thing, do you have any idea who I am?. "
Penelope said discourteously as she rudely bashed my secretary.
Her boorish behavior was not surprising based on what I had just found out about her.
She eyed my secretary spitefully
"I don't like her!! " She announced. I raised my eyebrow at her sudden outburst with foreseen arrogance.
" Let her be!Dorothy you can leave now!. "
I instructed as I waved my hand to discharge my secretary.
I can deal with her.
" You have no authority either in my office or company, be sure to remember your place and act right. You're just an ordinary basket carrying a golden egg. "
She tried concealing her dissatisfaction over her disposable position.
" oh Louis! ,
She cried
" Do not be so rigid..., after all I am carrying your child " She rubbed her belle softly.
" What's the problem," I asked, not paying her much attention.
Back in her famous posture she walks towards me.
" I sent you an email. Remember, we plan on seeing the doctor together. " she announced with a smile.
When she noticed her smile had no effect on me, she walked back to relax on my grey coloured modern style rectangular section office couch. This masterpiece was made in its finest quality, the best microfiber material,the grey color represents the calmness and exquisite nature displayed from its wooden frame.
"When I'm ready to leave, I will send for you", I said, discharging her.
I ordered her out of my office.
" Louis...., why not join me, let's leave together. "
She kept stalling time, trying to persuade me to join her play couple.
I answered her with a glaze of warning then she puffed out of my office.
Clearly she had knowledge of my unwillingness to act like a couple with her.
Her pretentious characters were excellent, I had no time to watch her in her performance .
Outside my office, she barked orders at my defenseless secretary in a voice that could pull down the whole building before leaving.
I did nothing because I had to let people believe we were dating at this point before we announced our engagement.
***********"*****************
When the doctor came out with the test result.
He had been hesitating as he read through the result.
"Your highness, according to this report Miss Penelope is not pregnant." he said
"What do you mean, I'm not pregnant."
She erupted in a voice that was starting to give me a headache, she really needs to control her manners cause it was starting to get irritating.
"According to the test results, you're not pregnant,"
The doctor gave her an answer in a resounding voice.
"Prince Louis informed me of your insemination done in New York, maybe, there you would be given a better explanation why it turned out this way."he stated
I wished hopefully that this turns out to be true. It could give me a better opportunity to get another option.
This conversation dragged me down to New York. I didn't bother bringing Penelope along mainly because I wasn't ready for her outraging and frustrating attitude.
In New York, I found out about a total mix up in the lab before the sperm implantation.
They messed up with the wrong person. I had my men deal with some of their top doctors. Dr Shin was the doctor in charge of Penelope sperm implant, the old man was a little too jumpy when I arrived, scared to his bones.
The mistake was done when my delivered sperm was given another name tag, this led to its misplacement and it was sent to another patient. Truth be told, even if I was furious I felt a great sense of relief that this mistake had destroyed any chance of Penelope having my child. If her secret gets to my stepmother, it would have caused havoc in the royal council. Then again I only had myself to blame.
Knowing how influential I was, the hospital medical director tried to offer me a better solution.
He informed me that the lady who had my child was unmarried. He also suggested we work our way around the situation. At that moment I wasn't ready to deal with him and his team of careless personals, all I needed was to find out who the heck had my child in her womb.
***"""""""***********"""""""*****
I lied back patiently on the black leather chair to await the arrival of this mysterious lady. When she entered the doctor's office she looked so devastated as if her life had been taken away from her. I took time to study her appearances. she was looking so familiar, I couldn't figure out the place we've met before. She was incredibly beautiful, so sophisticated and my own kind of woman. The scent of her perfume reminds me of violet mixed in white hibiscus, its floral scent captivated my attention sincerely, she knew how to make a statement. I felt irritated by the new feeling she had entrapped me in suddenly a thought flood my mind. What if she had everything all planned out.
What if this mistake was never a mistake??!
When she began to speak her voice sounded a bit rusty but yet enchanting. I felt as if I was being wrapped under a spell. She began to express how worried she had been. I realized she didn't take notice that I was seated there. Till Doctor Shin introduced me, she still paid me no attention, I was very pissed off.
Women craved for my attention, she should be happy to be in my presence. When she finally took notice of my presence , I ended up being called a sperm donor.
Does this woman have any idea of who I am?!
She completely ignored me till the doctor gave us time to talk.
She looked displeased by his suggestion but turned towards me.
At first, I noticed she was surprised when she finally took a close look at me.
I smirked
Who wouldn't
I give her my best controlling and intimidating pose like I did the others but to my own surprise she seemed less interested .
Well I still have time to watch out how everything plays out.
She reminded me of someone I can't place a finger on, I felt a strong urge to protect her as she wrapped her hand around her belle.
"I am not giving out my baby, I have as much right to him as you do. "
she bluntly said
I laughed because she had no idea of whom she was getting herself mixed up with, no matter how attractive she might look right now, I wouldn't give her the power to mess with my mind.
Never!
Amelia[POV]I woke up a bit tired and happy, I love the new feeling of becoming a mother with my little pumpkin growing inside me. I knew he could feel my love from inside.I had grown the habit of watching myself in the mirror to examine if my belle was really growing before I showered every morning.Today I made plans to see my father's lawyer to sign the will he had left for me. It was time to make plans for our future. Like the doctor said I needed to surround myself with some positive energy so I joined a Yoga class across the street.After I finished sh
Amelia [POV]I heard knocks on my front door when I opened it. I was surprised to find a six feet tall blonde shiny looking Prince dressed all powerful and intimidating in a blue designer suit with a frown plastered on his face. When I realized who it was, I wanted to slam my door right away but a flash of warning from his glazing glassy eyes dared me to disobey and face the consequences. Behind him stood two hefty bodyguards ready to take down my door at any given second.Reluctantly, I opened my door slowly eyeing him as he walked in with his pride and his guards.Psycho!I paid him no attention, just folded my hands and
Louis [POV] The thought of my new feisty fiancee lingered in my mind. She was indeed very beautiful,even my men were dazed by her beauty. She has the kind of beauty that could make any man lose his goddamn mind. She remains adamant to my instructions , I had to instruct my men to watch over her, I don't want her running off with my heir. I could still hear the sound of her voice in my head . I have to be careful, I need to stay far away from her before I get addicted. After destroying the contract I had with Penelope, she still kept on bugging me with her incessant text messages. I guess she felt disappointed for not being the one enjoying the privilege of becoming my wife. I think it's about time she learnt she was of no importance to me anymore and move on with her ruined career. This new development was a bit of relief, if I had made such a mistake my son would have lived with the stain attached to his supposed, mother's name. I just hope Amelia has no dark secre
Amelia {POV} I had little sleep before arriving at the airport early that morning by 4pm leaving for Spain. I just can't wait to give him a piece of my mind, he didn't even allow me to prepare myself, all my old clothes were left behind at my place. The small bag I was allowed to carry contains only a few lingeries, not even my casual tee shirts. When I got into the airport, his private jet was ready, I am not surprised he has one. Most men of his class derive pleasure in luxury assets and as a prince, it was right to have one.When I entered the place I tried so hard to prevent myself from being carried away but the entire jet was like a mansion in the sky. My eyes are bugging out from their socket right there, It's so breathtaking , I admire the whole place as the Air hostess led me in. "This place is beautiful,"I heard myself saying I was unable to control my thoughts anymore. I tagged along with the charming Asian Air hostess who kept smiling like her whole world dep
Amelia {POV} In one day, I experienced the worst stress ever. I followed his secretary who seemed to be a nice lady from the airport to his estate in Valencia. Louis caught me off from the rest of the world when he seized my phone denying me access to the internet. To this point I know absolutely nothing about him except that he was a crown Prince of Liechtenstein. Dorothy was busy clicking, texting and making calls on her phone. I jealously watched her, it gave me an idea. "Can I make use of your phone, please, " at my request she arched her eyebrow considering it was a bad idea. "I'm sorry ma!, I was prohibited from allowing you to use any communication device ", she said as she switched back to her professional mood. My smile withered. Seriously! Even in his absence, he made sure none of his employees lended me any gadgets. I left out a frustrating cry instead of being alarmed Dorothy offered me a bottle of water to calm my nerves. "I really wish I could hel
Louis{POV} When we landed, Amelia was still inside the room. I had to leave her with my secretary since I had an important meeting that needed my intervention this morning.The meeting was between the advertisement department and administrative sector. This meeting had threaded on for a while since my absence. Currently it has affected the pace at which major projects are handled making it bad for my company. Their department heads should get ready for some serious questioning because I need answers. One thing I hate the most, is when employees become reluctant and lack the zeal to put their effort in any given task or important project. Their delay had caused me millions. It's time I do some reshuffling. Before this I still have to attend an intensive meeting with the board of directors concerning the new infringement of ideas that could enhance the multi-communication policy. " Good Morning sir", My second secretary and personal assistant David greeted me
Narrator {POV} He walked into the building disoriented unlike before. The haste of the information he carried would put all his effort to waste but it was surely not the end. He pressed on the password that opens the secret door, one he has become accustomed to but it denied him access. Furiously he stabbed his palm against the door. The lock has been changed, this means the situation is getting critical. Secrets have been spread in secret. Now the empty building felt eerie and deserted; anything could happen at this moment. He should have been watchful, he advised himself. This could only mean one thing: his identity has been discovered or he was about
Amelia {POV} The next morning, I woke up feeling tired and heavy. My stomach churned repeatedly, it was annoying, it made me turn and turned in total discomfort, I felt like vomiting. I quickly rushed inside the toilet and threw up. This was definitely morning sickness, my pumpkin is officially three months old in my belle, then the urge came again, this time with a slight headache. I struggled to lift myself up from the floor as I moved over to the sink, splashed my face with cold running water. I felt so drained, lost all my energy and emptied my belle, now I'm hungry. I discovered that I tend to get hungry quickly these days. I glanced at myself in the mirror, stared back at my messy hair and wearied face.
