~Kelly’s POV~
My skin begins to warm up as the first rays of sunlight penetrate my bedroom window and signal the beginning of a new day. While keeping my eyes closed, I yawn loudly and exhaustingly while I stretch out my arms and legs. I grinned to myself as I simultaneously checked the time and the calendar that was hanging on my wall. The big day has finally arrived. The day I found out whether I was pregnant with Zion’s baby. Concerning Zion, I don’t recall hearing anything about him in the media. Is he all right? I mean, if I am pregnant, my baby’s daddy has to be okay. I reached under my pillow and got out the phone before dialing the number of my source.
Line 2: Good morning, Ms. Kelly!
Kelly: I’m not sure if it’s because I’m pregnant or what, but I have a terrible habit of forgetting things. There is no doubt in my mind that it is due to the pregnancy. Please fill me up on Zion’s whereabouts and explain why I haven’t heard anything about him.
Line 2: Oh my God, ma’am, you didn’t know? Lord Archer is in a coma. There is talk that after he spent time with you, his wife shot him. The nerve of that girl who isn’t even famous. Imagine that she has risen all the way to the position of president at the Archer Group.
Kelly: What?
No no no, why would that Maya girl play a fast one on me? That is supposed to be my title. Why is she getting everything done effortlessly? I am to be Lady Archer, and I am supposed to be the mother of Zion’s children. I am also supposed to be the president of the Archer Group. Now that bitch is the president, not me. I will show her that I will fight for what is mine.
Line 2: They say that she couldn’t stand the fact that Zion slept with you and she ended up shooting him. They say she did this because she was angry about it. Since the day that he had sexual relations with you, he has been confined to the hospital. This information has been carefully concealed from the public by the Archer family. But then, of course, we are aware that Maya, who was completely innocent, was the one who shot Zion.
Kelly: Don’t worry about it. In a short while, I will be Lady Archer, and I will reward you for keeping me up to date.
I ended the call and went straight to take a shower and headed to the hospital. Because my doctor wasn’t available, I had to sit around and wait for him. As I waited, I decided to find out why it had taken them this long to locate where the baby was. I mean, I had sexual relations with Zion two months ago, but I still haven’t gotten my period, and they are unable to determine whether I am pregnant. I have to be pregnant. I mean, I stopped birth control, so I have to be pregnant. I stood outside his door and watched as he entered his office and then motioned for me to come in. He then smiled at me as he sat down and glanced at me. Does he like me? Too bad I only want Zion. I watched as he wore his gloves and told me to lie down. After the examination, I didn’t need to be told. I saw the baby myself.
“You should be quite proud of yourself, Ms. Martins. You are 11 weeks pregnant.”
“I knew it!” I let out an eager yell.
He handed me the report, and when I walked out of his office, I knew exactly where to go, Archer Group to rub it on that stupid girl’s face. It makes no difference to me if she has three children; I have every right to claim my title as Lady Archer. I met Zion before her. After getting into my car, I proceeded to drive directly to the Archer Group. I walked past the reception area and headed straight to the private elevator, forgetting that the damn elevator had a code. I muttered an expletive under my breath before turning back to the idiot brunette who was staring at me.
“Hello, I would like to see the president,” I said to her, without even bothering to greet her first.
“Good day. May I know your name?” I became very irritated. I mean, I am Kelly, de Kelly Martins. Who doesn’t recognize my face? In response, I opened fire.
“What’s good about the day?” The vapid young lady did nothing but gape at me with her mouth wide open. “I stated that I desired a meeting with the President. Wait! You don’t recognize me, do you?”
“Madam, I am unable to just call the president and inform her that someone is interested in meeting with her. She will ask me your name.” I fixed my eyes on the girl, but she did not yield to my pressure. “Look, ma’am, you came in here with an attitude, and you didn’t even bother to say hello. You need help, and yet you are here asking me if I don’t know who you are. Do I come across as someone who is interested in getting to know who you are? You were staring at me like you were staring at poop, yet you required my assistance even though you were doing so. Move aside. I will help people who want to be helped. Next!”
I realized that she was quite sincere in everything that she said.
“Please wait, I’m so sorry. Let’s make a clean slate of it. I put on a smile. To protect my unborn child, I am willing to sacrifice anything. Good morning. My name is Kelly Martins. It’s urgent. It would be an honor to have a conversation with the President. I looked over and observed the girl giving a friendly smile while making a phone call to the president.
President? President my foot. I yelled at the back of my head.
Wait, will she want to see me? I mean, that whore is a whole different ballgame. Naturally, she would be interested in meeting up with me.
“Maam, please come with me.” I decided to follow the young lady, but she took me to a regular elevator instead. “The elevator will take you to the top floor. Someone would be looking forward to seeing you.”
Fuck you, bitch! In the back of my mind, I swore an obscenity at her. How dare she take me to a normal elevator?
