~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?
Trap part 1
~Maya's POV~
Without Zion, life has been challenging. All I want right now is to find Kelly and imprison her. No, but not until I hurt her where it hurt the most. She just can't go to jail and forget what she did to my husband and daughter. She has to pay. I am well aware that she has the support of her family, but I am a woman on a mission. The doctor informed us that she would be visiting him this morning. The entire day, both Lucas and I have been waiting for a call from the doctor.
'Lucas, do you trust the doctor? I can't wait any longer. I want justice for my husband and daughter."
'Maya, I beg you to kindly take a deep breath. Everything will work out for the best in the end." Mishka said as she stroked my back with her back.
It's been challenging living without Zion, Mishka. I want that idiot to get out of his slumber. I really miss him."
'I am aware, sweetie," Come here. She hugged me and a call came from Lucas's phone. As he turned his head and glanced at Mishka and me, I noticed that he was smiling.
'It's done, but now I'm worried. How can we be sure that Kelly would be doing here?"
As I listened to Lucas's statement, a grin crossed my face. People like Kelly are familiar to me on a deep level. She had a strong desire to hold the title of Lady Archer and had resorted to underhanded tactics to achieve her goal.
'Well, there hasn't been any news regarding Zion in the past two or three months. Kelly had the ambition to one day become Lady Archer. When she learns that she is pregnant, what do you think she will do with that information? Of course, she is the most foolish person in the history of the world. She would want to shove it in my face that she's pregnant with Zion and start arguing that she's entitled to something."
'Claiming things?"
'She would, of course, with no doubt claim that I took Zion from her and I should leave Zion alone. They are looking to get their hands on the Archer inheritance.
'She's moving in this direction."
'Check to see that each of the cameras is functioning properly. I will have to get her statement today." I looked across at Mishka and asked her, 'Mishka, could you please play the reception lady today and buy me some more time?" I want to be sure I do the right thing."
'Of course, I would love to teach a woman a lesson." She came to a halt and gave me a worried glance before turning her attention back to me. 'Are you sure you are going to be fine with that woman alone?"
'I'm used to dealing with eccentric women like Kelly. Don't worry about me." I assured her.
I observed Mishka and Lucas as they walked out of the office. I positioned myself behind my desk and tested each camera's microphone before moving on to the next. I stepped forward and brought out the reception screen. While I wait for Kelly, it didn't take long for Kelly to walk in and head straight to the private elevator, but she returned to the reception area. I couldn't help but giggle since I knew that Mishka was going to enjoy herself with her. Even while it makes me chuckle, I really miss my family. I wanted my husband home with me, and Kelly decided to take him away from us. No one knows what drug she gave him or even where the drug is coming from. I was listening to Miska teaching Kelly some manners. I was busy thinking of the right questions to ask her. After I had finished getting ready, I sent Mishka a message. Following that, I overheard Kelly offering her apology to Mishka. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that someone like Kelly Martins would ever apologize for anything. I suppose pregnancy has a transformative effect on people.
'Lucas, is everyone ready?" Lucas nodded. I sat behind the desk, waiting for the woman who held the key to my husband's life. I hope that skank knows what she gave to him. Without a knock, Kelly flung the door to my office open. I pretended to be busy with some paperwork without even sparing her a glance.
'You must think highly of yourself, being Lady Archer and also the president of the Archer group." I didn't answer. I continued with what I was pretending to be doing to make her vomit more of her puke.
'Bitch, I'm talking to you. Did you ever think that you would take my Archie away from me and I would sit back and watch? I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but your time as Lady Archer is drawing to a close. I am currently carrying Archie's child, and I have a strong feeling that we are going to have a son. My son will eventually take control of the entire Archer empire, and your sons will be forced to watch in disbelief as my son seizes what is justly his.
I was caught off guard when she brought both of my sons to this. Maybe I should remind her that she raped my husband to get pregnant, and that is an offense. I stopped writing and gazed at her as I set the pen down.
'Pregnant, getting a son? How did you get pregnant?' I watched as her expression shifted. Then realization dawns on her that she made the wrong move.
'I-It doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm pregnant!"
'Really, did my husband willingly sleep with you, or were you blackmailing him to sleep with you?"
'How I slept with Archie doesn't matter; what matters is that I am pregnant with Archie's baby."
'A bastard baby."
'Don't you dare call my baby a bastard!" She yelled.
What do you call children that are born to parents who are not married? Do you want me to remind you that you raped a man who was married? You drugged and raped my husband. Just in case you have forgotten.
'What exactly did you anticipate? Because his cock wouldn't cooperate, I had to drug him and then have my way with him. Thus the answer is yes to both of those questions. Naturally, he had no recollection of it, but he did screw with my pussy pretty well. I really must say. My Archie knows how to worship a woman." That one comment was plenty to rip her throat out, but I had to keep a calm expression on my face so that I could gather sufficient information. After that, I went over to talk to her, but I eventually found myself leaning against my desk. At least I've got her admitting to raping him and drugging him. I want to know what drug she used.
You got what you wanted, which was to sleep with him, and now you are pregnant as a result of that. But if that's the case, then why are you here? To ruffle my feathers because I seriously doubt that's the reason you're here."
'Smart girl. It is my request that you step down from your position as president of the Archer Group. I want you to divorce Zion because he was never yours in the first place."
'And why should I do that? To please you?"
'Do that, or I will tell the police that you shot him the night he slept with me because you couldn't stand the fact that Zion wanted me, not you."
I found myself laughing hysterically. 'I must leave my husband for you. You took my daughter hostage and then blackmailed my husband into having sexual relations with you so that we could get our daughter back. You subjected my daughter to unspeakable torment at every available opportunity. Because of your envy, you tormented a baby who was just 2 weeks old. You are saying that my husband loves you, right?" I couldn't help but let out another peal of laughter. 'Well, if he really loves you, why is it that he chose to make me his wife instead of you?"
