A man in his mid-sixties was working on his laptop in a towering building in the heart of M-City when a thud sound from the door boomed around the room, revealing a young woman with a furious countenance. As their strategy failed, the woman hammered on the door, glancing at the man.

'Are you telling me you failed?" The young lady frowned.


It seems to me that the pregnant woman cast a spell on him. But I have just a plan. Since he didn't chase me out and decided to watch the whole act, I might as well next time make her put to bed right away. I mean, the scumbag child that she is carrying has no right to live and ought to perish. I ought to be the one who is expecting a child, not that worthless, worthless, good-for-nothing, nobody.

'What are your plans?"

'Let's just say I know he won't inform his wife about my actions today, since he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her or his baby. I'll take advantage of it."


'Hmm, that family embarrassed us. I did some research on the man who strolled in that day. He is Zion's cousin. He is also wealthy, like Lord Archer, but he and his wife are inseparable, like a belt and trousers. I saw how he humiliated his ex-fiancee on television and forced all of New York City to watch the poor girl sleep with her stepfather. This man is a real badass. I'd rather advise you to stick with Zion. They are equally popular, and having them on our side can be advantageous. Make every effort to sleep with him. You can't tell me that a dead pregnant woman is superior to you. Make sure you become intimate with him since we're going to record it on camera and show it to his wife."

'Don't you trust me again?" That is what the young lady remarked before leaving the office. A message buzzed on her phone, and she smiled slyly as she looked at Lady Archer's phone number. She then decided to make a test call to her victim. She became irritated since she was unable to get in touch with her target despite the fact that the phone rang several times, but no one answered it. She made the decision to phone the number once more, and this time the person who was on the other end of the line answered.


'Hello"

The woman came to a dead standstill and glanced at the number once more after hearing what could only be described as the unmistakable voice of a small child. The person on the other end of the line repeated their greeting before asking,

'Hello, is anyone there?"

The woman was so angry that she threw the phone on the ground and let out a piercing scream at the top of her lungs.

'How dare he give me the wrong number!" She yelled at such a high volume that the employees almost believed that she had gone completely insane. As soon as she recovered control of herself, she looked down at her phone and continued staring at it. It was already strewn across the marble tiles. She stomped the phone numerous times before leaving to get a new phone. She then decided to hire a fresh individual to obtain the required number. The other person didn't take the time to get her the number. She decided to contact the number after receiving it. The phone was picked up in a single motion.

'Hello," said the same voice that had answered the phone before. She stared at the phone in shock as she tried to make sense of what was happening.

Are these cretins stupid? How could they have given me the erroneous number? But then she thought maybe it wasn't a wrong number after all.

'Hello, I was wondering whether I could get in touch with Maya."

She asked the question in a nice manner, and she was aware that if the number was in fact Maya's number, the little girl on the phone would call out to Maya or tell her that she wasn't around or anything of the sort.

'Who is Maya? Who is that?' The woman's face turned bright red. What in the world is going on? Only if she knew that the person on the other end of the phone refused to let Maya be addressed by her given name. Sophia, who is now Sophia Archer, expects everyone to address Maya as Lady Archer, so if anyone calls her Maya, they are in for a surprise.

'Maya Jones or anything like that," she says. The woman continued by saying that she would not refer to her as Maya Archer since she considered that the title of Archer belonged to her and not to Maya.

'I'm sorry, but I don't know who that is. I believe you have the wrong number." The small girl murmured this before hanging up the phone. The woman was awestruck.

*****

~Maya's POV~

Since this morning, Sophia has been keeping herself occupied with the games on my phone. That's fine with me as long as she doesn't leave my side. She keeps me entertained. I stood up and went to the kitchen to make some fresh orange juice for myself. Since my legs were swollen, I preferred to move around on my own rather than ask the servants to do it for me because I've seen that sitting still makes my condition worse. So walking around was the greatest option for me, and I believe it is beneficial to blood flow. I walked to the kitchen and prepared myself some orange juice before returning to the room to find Sophia on the phone.

'Who was that?" I inquired, and she shrugged.

'I'm not sure. After I picked up the phone, the person who was calling was silent and then hung up. She remarked this while continuing to play games. I sat down and watched while Sophia played games while talking to me. Emma refused to give her the phone that, my father-in-law had purchased for her because she claims Sophia can't do anything while on the phone. That made me laugh since Sophia can multitask. I mean, she's on the phone, but she's still talking to me. She's not losing the balance between the game she's playing and me. After drinking the orange juice, I stood up and went to the restroom. When I came out, Sophia was on another call.

'Who was that, Sophia?" She gave me an unassuming glance before looking away.

'Spam phone call. It was some sort of automatic message that said, 'Press one to play." I sighed as she spoke. You can have my phone when Brother Zion calls. Bring the phone to me, anyone else, just tell whoever it is that I'm sleeping. I went to lie down after she nodded. I'm getting pretty lazy these days.

*****

Meanwhile, Sophia was occupied with her games when she received yet another call, which she promptly answered.

'Hello"

'You must be Sophia." Is Lady Archer around?"

'Yes, but she's sound asleep."

'Argh, shame. Tell her that Mishka called and that she should return my call."

'All right, Mishka."

Sophia groaned and looked at the phone before deciding to check on the first two calls from Maya's phone. She exited the room after raising her head to peek at where Maya was sleeping and then closing the door behind her.

Why did that caller drop the call? Why did she sound suspicious? Most importantly, why isn't the caller's phone number saved?

The same number was called twice, and for the first 2 minutes, the caller didn't say anything. She pulled out her laptop and checked to see who the phone was registered. She then found out that the number was owned by Kelly Martins. After that, Sophia performed a background check on the name and brought up any information pertaining to Kelly Martins. During her research, she discovered that Kelly had been engaged to Zion, but then Zion ultimately ended up marrying Maya. After that, Sophia blocked and wiped Kelly's number off Maya's contact list and cleared off the call log on her phone.

Confronting Zion

~Zion's POV~

I looked around my office to make sure I hadn't forgotten anything, then took my bag and headed out to pass it to one of my bodyguards. We walked all the way to the parking lot, and there I was greeted by yet, Kelly Martin. What is the matter with this woman? I mean, in all seriousness, I've reached the point where this annoys me. I walked past her and into my car. I was going to start my car when she darted in front of it. My two bodyguards dragged her out of the line of my path. I think I need a restraining order against this woman. Aren't women supposed to know when a man is uninterested? This woman is beginning to get on my nerves exactly at this very moment. I was very sincere when I said that I had no interest in having her. Why is it so difficult for her to grasp? I drove away without looking back, and after a while, I noticed my bodyguards following. When I returned home, I found Sophia in my bedroom, where she was actively massaging Maya's leg. However, the girl gave me a dubious look. I turned to face Maya. She was sound sleeping. Just when I was about to go to bed, Sophia blocked my way. Suddenly, I found myself looking in her direction. She was gripping her waist and stared at me, clearly agitated. She was testing me. I could have pushed her away if she hadn't been my sister, but she was so cute.

'What exactly is it, Sophia?" I inquired as I removed my tie. She didn't respond. Instead, she directed a glance at Maya and said,

'Come with me."

'I'll do everything for my younger sister." I took off my shoes and put on some slippers before following Sophia into her room. She pulled out her laptop. 'No, no, no Sophia, I told you I'm no longer good with that. I've already taught you everything I know." She gave me a warning look, which made me laugh. She is, in fact, an archer. She is starting to act like my father after spending time with him. That thought made me happy, but my happiness was short-lived as Sophia opened her laptop and showed me Kelly's profile. I took a glance around. Her door was open, so I rushed to shut it. 'What is the point of this?" When I asked her, she crossed her arms across her chest and looked me in the eye.

'Are you cheating on Lady Maya, Brother Zion?"

'What? Wait, how do you even know such a thing, Sophia?"

'I'm aware of these things." I became enraged.

'Sophia, what do you mean, you know these things? Tell me you don't have a boyfriend. I swear I'm going to kill that kid." I yipped.

'Please stop growling. I'm aware of what men and women do behind closed doors." I froze and stared suspiciously at my darling Sophia. She saw me about to pounce and replied, 'Brother Zion, I don't have a boyfriend. I promise it's not like you'll let me have one. But there is a big bloke on whom I have a crush." I looked her in the eyes. This girl has a lot of guts. She immediately moved her laptop away from her. 'Are you or are you not cheating on Lady Maya with your ex-fiance?"

'Do you want Lady Maya to shave my flesh off while I'm still alive? Nope, I am not."

'How did this woman get Lady Maya's phone number?"

'What exactly do you mean?"

'Today I was playing games on Maya's phone. We agreed that I would keep her company for the entire day if she borrowed me her phone, but then your ex-fiance chose to call." My eyes widened. Oh my goodness, did she inform Maya about what she did in my office before I told my wife? I was agitated.

'And?"

'And when I answered the phone, she went silent for two minutes before hanging up. Then she called again, this time asking to speak with Maya. I pretended to be astonished and asked who Maya was." This situation is getting completely out of control. What does Kelly want from my wife? Maya doesn't need to be stressed right now because she could give birth at any time. 'When Maya questioned who the caller was, I informed her it was a spam call. When she went to sleep, I did this and blocked her number on Maya's phone and removed it from her call log."

'Come here, clever girl."

'I don't want Maya to be worried." She added. I brushed her hair, and she pouted her lips.

'You did well." I praised.

'Do you swear you're not going to see her?"

'No, but I think it's about time I spoke with her. Allow me to go freshen up, kiddo. I love you."

As I walked out of her room, she grinned. Right now, a lot of thoughts are racing through my head. When it comes to my wife, I'll go to any length. Maya doesn't need all of this; she just wants to be stress-free. At least let her stress about how swollen her legs are. Not some insane ex. What exactly am I saying? She was never even an ex-girlfriend of mine. Maya was not on the bed when I entered my room. She appeared to have peed on herself as she exited the bathroom. When I glanced at her, she cried, and stroked her tummy. I was terrified. That meant she was in labor, which I knew. Am I ready to meet my kids? Will I be a good father to them? I should have known better, yet I stood still and froze. I fucking chicken out.

'Zion, I think the babies are coming."

What's the matter with me? Do something, Zion, fucking move before something bad happens.

I then dashed up to her and helped her sit down before sprinting over to Grandma. I fucking didn't even knock when I entered her room for the first time in my life. Fortunately, they were drinking tea while watching their favorite show. I hesitated, not knowing what to say, but it was excitement this time. I was going to meet my princess and my prince.

'Maya is in labor, Grandma." I watched as she moved faster than her normal movement. She walked into her walk-in closet and took her medical kit out.

'Follow me," she ordered, and I followed her right away.
