CHAPTER 69
VINCENT’S MESS
With the news of Jessica’s pregnancy circulating all around the city, there had been an unending frenzy and everyone seemed to have their own response and opinion about the news.
But majority of Jessica’s fans were extremely happy about it as they poured in their love and support sending Jessica tons of congratulatory messages.
They had always wanted the best for their idol and carrying Vincent’s child was certainly a good one but with all this happening in the media Vincent was in his own world.
A world filled with happiness where only Isabella reside, after their ice cream date things had taken a better turn has their days were now filled with much happiness than ever.
He was oblivious of all that was speculating about Jessica’s pregnancy and had woken up that morning just has any other but with so much work at the office and he had to leave Isabella early.
Though he had planned to spend the evening with her just to make up for his absence, which he was already looking forward to and was sure of having a nice time.
“What have you done?” Hall barked at Vincent with aloud voice as he barged into his office, he could not believe his best friend has been hiding so much and had lied about so many things.
“Hey Man, what’s wrong?” Vincent asked immediately his expression numb of what Hall’s accusation, he could not think of anything that he might have done t make his best friend react this way.
“What wrong!” Hall shouted as he walked angrily towards where Vincent was seated, his eyes filled with rage and disappointment, he still could not fathom what had made Vincent to lie about his relationship with Jessica.
He could not believe he had actually thought that Vincent was only in love with Isabella and had even stood up for him whenever his sister would say mean things about him and how he was still in a relationship with Jessica.
“I can see from your reaction that I have been worried over nothing but I still can not believe you would keep such a vital part of you away from me?” Hall declared as he took his seat.
He could not understand why Vincent was so calm about what had happened when he knows how much if a chaos this was going to cause especially because he was already married to Isabella.
“I still do not know what you mean and would not know if you do not let me!” Vincent confirmed his voice filled with frustration, he knew he had been honest with Hall and had always told him about everything.
Even things that no other person knew about and was sure he was not hiding anything from him, “How more despicable can you be, you sit there and act cool to my face.” Hall replied.
He was angry very Vincent had betrayed his trust and had even gone this far with Jessica, he wondered what more Vincent was keeping away from him.
But Vincent was still confused by Hall’s claims and was already agitated by his words, he could not seem to find what he must have done to make Hall speak to him in such manner.
“I would really appreciate it if you could get to the bottom of this,” Vincent said angrily, he was already pissed by Hall’s constant accusation.
“Come of it Vincent, stop acting innocent you have been sleeping with Jessica! ” Hall announced immediately as waited for Vincent’s reply, he wanted t see how lowly he could be when he finally admit to his fault.
“What! Never, how could you even think of such when you know how much I detest that lady!” Vincent asserted, he could not believe his best had been making a fuss because of Jessica.
“But she is pregnant with your child!”Hall asserted, he was sure Vincent was only trying to hide the truth from him and this was making him more angry.
“And you believe that?” Vincent questioned immediately, he wondered why Hall would believe what Jessica had told him.
“You can stop playing games with me, it’s all over the media.” Hall declared angrily, all he wanted was for Vincent to come clean and for him to know what had actually transpired.
“What’s News?” Vincent asked curiously, he knew how vicious Jessica could be and was sure she must have done something bad already.
“The news about Jessica carrying your child, it’s all over the media and she has proof!” Hall announced as he waited for his reply.
“What child?” Vincent exclaimed his eyes wide in shock of realization of all Hall has been trying to say to him, “Oh my God!” He continued with a loud voice.
As he quickly rushed to check what exactly has been happening in the media, he wondered how such important information had eluded him.
“What the hell has she done!” Vincent shouted angrily as read the news, he could not imagine Jessica had actually went ahead to announce her being pregnant with his child without his consent after he had warned her against it.
“I can’t believe you were oblivious of all that has been happening on the media for the past days,” Hall remarked as he watched his best friend groan in bewilderment.
His anger had grown dim and was now calm, it was obvious that Vincent was not aware about all that Jessica had done but it didn’t change the fat that he had lied about not having a relationship with her.
“I am so pissed that Jessica had gone ahead to do something this drastic, especially after I had warned her against it.” Vincent noted.
“Wait what! you were aware and had warned her against announcing her pregnancy?” Hall asked curiously, he was already disappointed at Vincent for not telling him about what had been happening between he and Jessica.
Because if Vincent had warned Jessica against this it only means that he was aware of her pregnancy, he was disappointed at Vincent for keeping such an important information from him.
