Kim was angrily staring at her phone screen as she went through her messages with Ruby. It was filled with short replies and greetings and she almost threw her phone at the wall in anger.
It has been over a week since the couple left and Ruby had refused to divulge any relevant information about their whereabouts or what they have been up to.
Kim ran her hands through her hair and angrily slumped on the bed. She felt jealousy making its way into her mind and her already black heart darkened at the thought of Ruby and Jaxon being all lovey-dovey while she was stuck in this mansion.
She smirked as she thought about what had happened before the couple traveled.
“Enjoy while you still can, Ruby, because your rich husband is going to be mine sooner than you think.” Kimberly laughed out loud.
What else was left? She had successfully slept with him, and she was very sure that he would come back for more. She knew she was better than Ruby and Jaxon would realize that fact soon enough.
She couldn’t wait for him to come begging her for more. Kimberly laughed loudly and lay down on her stomach.
She felt like eating something even though she wasn’t hungry and decided to get some cookies. She went down the stairs, and just as she was about to enter the kitchen, she heard the sound of a car pulling up, followed by a greeting from the guards.
Her face lit up as she ran to the door and a huge smile made its way to her face when she saw Ruby and Jaxon walking into the house.
She pulled Ruby into a tight hug and made eye contact with Jaxon who was glaring at her with disgust and annoyance shining in his eyes.
“I missed you,” Kimberly said as she hugged Ruby and winked at Jaxon.
“I missed you too,” Ruby replied as she pulled away from the hug and gently squeezed her cheeks.
“I have told you to stop doing that. I’m not a child anymore.” Kim whined.
“Okay, I’ll stop,” Ruby replied and started walking away with the guards following with her bag.
Kimberly smirked as she stood before Jaxon who was typing away on his phone. Kim trailed her fingers on his arms, and Jaxon shivered in disgust, but she mistook it for desire. He pulled away from her and placed his phone in his pocket.
Kimberly came closer and grabbed his arm, her touch lingered a moment too long, her fingers pressing into his skin with a possessiveness that made him feel like strangling her and ending her pathetic life. She leaned in close, her body pressed against his with an almost tangible hunger for his attention.
“Welcome back. I’ve been waiting for your arrival for such a long time, and you are acting so coldly toward me after touching me with so much love and tenderness the other day. That’s not fair.” Kimberly pouted and Jaxon glared at her.
“You don’t have to pretend when Ruby is not around. I miss you.” Kim shyly whispered and Jaxon felt his skin crawl in disgust.
“I enjoyed that night so much, and my body is craving for more; I want you,” Kimberly whispered softly as she desperately pressed her body against his.
Jaxon was unmoved by her pathetic attempts at affection, his gaze distant and dismissive as he pulled away from her, unwilling to give her the attention she so desperately craved.
“If you take one more step I’m going to tell Ruby all that transpired between us. And you know what will happen after that.” Kimberly felt victorious as Jaxon finally looked at her. She shyly smiled as she reached for his hand.
Jaxon shook his head and angrily slapped her hand away as he walked away leaving a gaping Kim behind.
She angrily glared at his retreating back and she ran her hand through her hair as she thought about the possible reason for Jaxon’s rejection.
Was he trying to avoid getting caught by Ruby or did he just feel the need to test her patience?
Was it possible that he was playing hard to get? Kimberly felt ecstatic as she thought about so many ways to win him over.
Kim moans in agony, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps as she clutches her stomach and mouth. She ran into the bathroom and doubled over on the toilet bowl. A violent wave of nausea washed through her body as she retched into the toilet bowl.
She vomited the entire contents of her stomach and the smell triggered a wave of heaving. She groaned as her face became beaded with sweat. Her mouth felt like it was filled with acid.
She flushed the toilet and stood up on shaky legs, Kim rinsed her mouth and slowly carried out her morning routine weakly.
She came downstairs all dressed up and Ruby stared at her with confusion clear on her face. “Good morning and where are you off to?” Ruby softly asked.
“I’m feeling a little under the weather so I want to go for a checkup.” Kimberly tiredly replied. “I’m so sorry, do you want me to accompany you?” Ruby asked worriedly.
“No, I can manage,” Kim replied and started walking out of the house.
“Won’t you have breakfast?” Kimberly sighed and turned to Ruby.
“I don’t think I can keep it down.” She replied.
“Take care of yourself and take the driver along.” Kimberly nodded.
Kimberly got to the hospital, and after booking an appointment and carrying out all the necessary tests, her name was called, and she walked into the doctor’s office.
“Good morning Miss. Kimberly.” A middle-aged Lady greeted her and gestured to the seat before her.
“Good morning ma’am,” Kimberly replied with a small smile.
“So what brings you here today Kimberly? Can you explain your symptoms? How are you feeling?” The doctor asked as she stared at her with rapt attention.
“I woke up feeling extremely nauseous and I feel like I can’t keep any food down without vomiting. I’ve also been feeling unnecessarily tired without doing anything these few days. My stomach also feels odd and I’ve been craving for some foods that I normally don’t eat…” Kim trailed off as she tried to think about more things.
“Okay. Are you sexually active?” The doctor asked and Kim looked at her weirdly.
“Uhm yeah,” Kim replied. The doctor stood up and gestured for her to do the same. She walked up to her shelf, which contained various tubes and containers. She picked up one and wrote something on it then passed it to Kim.
“I need a sample of your urine, that’s the toilet.” The doctor pointed to a door at the far end of the office and passed the small container to her.
Kimberly went to the toilet and did her business. She came back and saw a nurse standing at the side. She smiled at her warmly and took the sample with her.
“Just relax for some time while we wait for your results. It shouldn’t take more than ten minutes.” The doctor smiled warmly and started typing away on her computer.
Kimberly brought out her phone and started scrolling through Instagram. They heard a light knock on the door and the female nurse walked in with an envelope in her hands.
She passed it to the doctor and excused herself. Kimberly felt nervous as she watched the female doctor open the envelope. She brought out a paper and opened it.
“Just as I thought. Congratulations Kim, you are Pregnant.” The doctor smiled sweetly. Kim felt her heart rapidly beating in her chest. It felt like it wanted to jump out.
Kimberly rests a hand protectively over her stomach as her face lit up with a huge smile. She looked like a portrait of joy and wonder as she caressed her stomach.
She was pregnant! Pregnant with Jaxon’s child.
She had no doubts that the pregnancy belonged to Jaxon because Damon being the selfish prick that he was, he never had sex without protection.
This was it. It looked like even the universe was working in her favor.
She smirked as she caressed her stomach. She had finally found the golden ticket to claim Jaxon.
