DENIAL

“Guards, take this woman away from my mansion!” Tessa shouted angrily while pointing her finger toward me.

As soon as the guards heard what she said, they all ran and started grabbing my wrists. But, my determination is enough for me to fight back. I don’t care if I looked pathetic in this state. But I will do everything to fight for the right of this little life inside my womb.

Then the guard beside me whispered while they are all dragging me away from the main entrance, “Don’t make this hard for us.”

I harshly removed their hands from me and shouted with all my might, “I am not leaving this place until I talk to William!”

I ran as fast as I could to reach the mansion’s main entrance. I don’t care if Tessa is still there or what. I want to talk to William and tell him about the news and whether this will be a good or a bad one for him.

When I reached the entrance, there I saw William going down the stairs. He’s wearing his business suit and surely is ready for a busy day ahead. Tessa hugged him tight and kissed him as if nothing happened earlier when we met.

I watched them and made sure that they will be able to see me as soon as they looked in my direction. They both smiled at each other and then finally, looked at where I am standing.

With teary eyes, I looked at William which made him stop walking as soon as he saw me standing in front of him. His reaction suddenly changed when he saw me.

“William…”

When Tessa saw me, she immediately ran beside William and they clung to each other’s wrists. With gritted teeth, she said, “Why are you still here?”

“I need to speak with William,” I confidently said. I may look like a desperate woman but it’s better to be this way.

“Oh, Miss Lorenzo! I was surprised by your visit. Why are you here?” He greeted me as if he didn’t know the relationship that we have. He’s trying his best to cover everything up without knowing that his wife already what was going on.

“Enough of this,” Tessa removed her hands from William’s wrists and stood in between us.

Tessa looked at William with teary eyes and sighed. “William, tell me the truth. Who is this woman to you? Do you have special treatment for this woman in your company?”

“What do you mean?” William looked at her after what she asked.

“William, please tell her the truth,” I looked at him with teary eyes.

William slowly reached out his hands to Tessa and tried to comfort her.

“NO! DON’T TOUCH ME!” Tessa exclaimed and harshly blocked his hands from her.

While watching the two of them, I suddenly felt an excruciating pain coming from my stomach which made my knees shake. What’s happening to me?

I stared at William and Tessa. They are still busy arguing with each other. They didn’t notice that I’m already having a hard time standing in front of them.

“I don’t have anything to do with that woman. You are the only one that I love and cared for. You knew that, Tessa,” William earnestly explained to Tessa everything. But the woman is not convinced by what he said.

I was about to butt into their conversation when suddenly I felt something flowing down from my legs. When I tried to look at it, my eyes widened in shock because I saw blood. I felt dizzy and cold. I’m in a panic. I don’t want to lose this baby inside of me. So, I used the last energy I got to call their attention.

“WILLIAM, I’M PREGNANT!”

After saying those words, I fainted but was still conscious. My eyes are almost closing when I saw William run to me. He kneeled and looked at me worriedly.

“Vanessa? Hey! Wake up!”

As much as I wanted to, my eyes closed voluntarily.

“Look! There’s blood!”

-4 MONTHS AGO-

“Sir, please… Your wife will get angry,” I looked into his eyes in worry while he was trying to touch me.

Right now, he made me lean on the wall beside the file cabinet of his office.

“No one will get angry if nobody will know,” He whispered while looking at me. His perverted eyes were scanning me from head to toe. Then, he started gently touching my shoulders. If he’s like this, I know he wanted something from me, and he’s asking for it again. But, we’re in the middle of our work. There’s a big chance that other employees might see what we’re doing.

Sir William Mendoza is my boss. He’s the Chief Executive Officer of Lights and Glass, a very well-known company for its quality of glass furniture, and LED lights. Many famous artists and companies try to coordinate with us regarding orders and packages. His company is considered one of the tops in the country since it also has many branches everywhere. I believe he’s also earning billions because of the success of his business. People looked at him as a rich, young, businessman that would use his power to earn more success in the future. But, little did they know that behind his mask, he was hiding something from people.

I tried to remove his hands from touching me and smiled.

“What? Why are you being like this?” He asked while looking at me in confusion.

I walked away from him. Then, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to face him.

“What’s wrong? Please tell me, Vanessa,” He asked and looked at me with worried eyes.

“Until when we are going to hide like this? When will I be an option for you? I don’t deserve this kind of treatment, William,” I replied with teary eyes.

He came closer to me and hugged me. “Please lower your voice. Others might hear you from outside.”

I chose to be silent after he said those words. Then, he suddenly looked at me with a smile.

“I know now. We are going on a date. So, how’s that?” He replied while smiling.

I looked at him with a sigh. How can I say no to those handsome eyes? Every time he looks at me, there’s an urge of wanting him to be mine. So, what can I say?

I nodded.

He smiled again and hugged me. “I love you so much!” He added.

The night came and as usual, here we go again to the same place we were last time. Red curtains, a queen-sized bed, a cold atmosphere with a smell of fresh flowers from the bathtub in front of me. What could a mistress do to a longing husband anyway? But of course, shower him with love and pleasure.

I went inside the bathtub and felt the presence of warm water on my skin. I applied a scented liquid soap on my body while massaging my long brown hair. Then, I looked at the mirror facing me and witnessed the things I do here in the bathroom. My skin is exposed in front of my eyes.

I took care of my whole body to the benefit of my future husband. The man who will treasure me for who I am. The man who will be proud of having me. But, I don’t understand why I’m here. I found a husband material in the presence of William, my boss. But, did he find a wife material from me?

“Vanessa, I’m waiting!” He shouted teasingly from outside.

I looked at myself and smiled. “Well, at least, I love him,” I whispered to myself.

After a few minutes, I finally finished my bath. Then, I covered my naked body with a towel and went out of the room.

While walking, I could feel my heart pounding. I know we’ve been doing this for four months already. But, I still couldn’t move on with the tension inside of me whenever we do this.

I finally stopped as soon as I saw him lying in the queen-sized bed holding his phone. When he saw me, he immediately put his phone aside, and with open arms, he called out to me.

“You never fail to amuse me, Vanessa,” He said with a blushing smile.

I giggled after what he said. Then, slowly, just like before, I untied the towel in front of him. I let him see my naked body. Then, I slowly walked towards him.

He made me under him, and he started kissing me. From the lips, and neck, down to the sensitive parts of my body. I just closed my eyes and feel the softness of his lips while enjoying the moment.

To complete the pleasure, he entered his sensitive part to mine and increase the sensation we were both having at the moment. The place is cold enough but we’re both sweating. His hands are touching any part of my body that he wanted to. I couldn’t help but produce sounds that amuse him more.

Suddenly, the movements are getting faster and faster. The faster it is, the more sensation it gives to both of us. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at his face. I knew he was enjoying the moment. So, I also closed my eyes to do the same.

“More…” He whispered while doing the same position fast.

Then, my eyes went open in shock when I suddenly felt something in me. He also stopped and looked at me with a weird expression.

“What did you just do?” I asked.

He removed it from me and stood up.

“I forgot to remove it,” He replied.

“What?!” I exclaimed.
