Chapter 2

KORA’S POV

A few years passed, and I met the most loving man. He treats me like a queen and makes me feel loved. Devon and I got married a few months after we met and it has been blissful, I rubbed my belly as I smiled. I was four months pregnant and I couldn't wish for a better life. I have grown to count not having the title as part of my losses. I wasn't given a reasonable explanation regarding why Lydia got the title of being the heiress of Hamilton, because she was younger than me. I shook off the feeling of sadness and I stepped into my office. This job was my dream job, I graduated as valedictorian in my college and I was hired immediately after I left school.

I settled on my desk, and I started the work for the day before I heard a knock on my door.

“Mrs. MCcall, your attention is needed at the Ceo’s office.” I nodded, dropped the work I was doing, and followed. I knocked on my boss’s door and greeted him with a warm smile.

“Good morning sir, you called me?” He signaled for me to sit. I sat comfortably and adjusted my blouse, he looked at me and heaved a frustrated sigh.

“You are fired.” I still had a smile plastered on my face because I didn't possibly think he was serious.

“I am not quite sure I understand what you are saying.”

“I am saying you are fired and it is not my fault. The company is relieving some workers of their jobs and you happen to be one of them. I want to thank you for your service and the sacrifice you have made for the company but I’m sorry you have we have to let you go.” I didn't say a word. I nodded and walked out of his office. When I got to my desk, I cried for five minutes or more because I had lost track of time. I knew there was nothing I could do to retain the job. I packed up my gadgets and cleared by desks. I wanted to take my leave but I needed to get some things off my chest. I walked into his office again to ask for my pay for the weeks I worked.

“Take this envelope. I know you are here for the payment, I am sorry that we had to let you go.”

“Thanks but it is funny how I am more qualified to work in this office than some of my male colleagues.”

“Mrs. MCcall, what are you trying to say?”

“ I hope you're not doing what I think you are doing in this office. Goodbye, sir.” I slid the envelope into my pocket and walked as fast as I could to my car. I was having a terrible day but I was certain Devon was going to make me feel better. He was always there to calm my nerves. This was a big loss but I am brilliant and I will be valued elsewhere. I drove home while blasting my favorite album. I sang along and stopped for ice cream. I reached my house and parked, I didn't bother to offload anything. I picked up my phone and marched straight into the house, ready to tell Devon everything that had happened. I opened the door and I was met with clothes, I wondered why Devon left all these clothes scattered on the floor, I took off my shoes cause my feet were hurting. I went straight to the bedroom, as I pushed the door open and I was thunderstruck.

Lydia was riding Devon, they were both naked and his groans and her moans filled the room.

“Devon!” I screamed so loud with my eyes wide open. They heard my voice, reached for the covers, and covered up. I couldn't utter a single word because I felt I was dreaming.

“Oh it is you, Devon baby can we continue, please? I am about to finish.” Lydia spoke up, breaking the tense-filled atmosphere.

“We will in a minute darling,” Devon responded as he leaned in for a kiss.

“Devon, what is going on here?” Tears already involuntarily started dropping down my cheeks.

“Look, I am in love with Lydia now, accept your reality now or don't it is none of my concerns. I can't be with you when I can have the heiress to myself. She is younger and more flexible than you if you know what I mean.” They both let out a loud laughter.

“I am pregnant with your child Devon!” I screamed and threw things at them. I wanted the pain to end.

“Hey, watch yourself. Leave here and take that unwanted thing with you.” They kissed each other passionately as I still stood in the room. I walked out after I had enough. As I glanced at my thigh, I saw blood trailing down. I screamed in agony as I called an ambulance. Immediately I was put on the stretcher I lost consciousness. I woke up to a beeping sound. My image was blurry and hazy but I knew where I was, I didn't forget anything that happened and how I ended up here.

“I lost my baby, didn't I?” I asked the nurse who came to check my vitals.

“I am sorry ma’am.” I lay by my side and cried silently. I swore to make Devon and Lydia pay, they killed my child. I was going to make their lives a living hell. I will get my revenge, I won't stop till they feel twice as much pain.

A day had passed, I was asleep and I heard a knock on my hospital door. It was Devon. I was surprised to see him, he had flowers in his hands, I was a bit glad that he wanted to apologize and maybe make amends.

“Here is divorce papers.” My heart sank but I made sure he didn't notice how his words affected me. I took the divorce papers and signed them. He looked at me with a dumbfounded look, I was certain he wanted to be begged. I was tired of looking weak.

“Take this, and I never wanted to see you again.” I threw the divorce papers at him.

“I will be glad if I never get to see you again. Now if you excuse me I have a date with Lydia.” I concluded in my mind to kill and bury any love I had left for Devon. I was done for good and I will get my revenge. I removed the drip in my hand and dashed out of the hospital.

Amidst running away, I didn't see a car coming at full speed in time. I shielded myself, preparing for the impact.
