Sandra was sitting in her office, her face fixed on her laptop screen, reading about Anita on the internet. She had been doing that quite frequently since Anita showed up.There were several stacks of paper and work left unattended on the table, but she chose to ignore them and stalk Anita on the internet instead.She suddenly came across a picture that was posted not too long ago. Anita was spotted with a child in a school."Hold up," Sandra said as she zoomed in and out of the picture. She started reading the comments under the picture."Does Anita Fredrick have a child?" Someone commented.Sandra quickly started going through all the other comments."It's unlikely that the child belongs to her; it could also be that he belongs to her best friend because they are always together." Another person commented.Sandra's heartbeat increased as she started going through all the comments. Even the chilly air conditioner in the office did not stop beads of sweat from falling off her forehead
All through her drive home, Anita's happiness radiates like the sun on a clear summer day. An infectious smile danced on her lips as her hand rolled on the steering wheel. She packed her car at the car park and quickly stepped out of the car, her eyes sparkling.Angie was sitting in her usual spot in the living room when Anita entered, her fingers typing on her laptop keyboard. When Anita rushed to her and hugged her tightly, Angie raised her brows, wondering why her friend was beaming ear to ear."You seem excited." Angie probed, the moment Anita disengaged the hug, making eye contact with her."Is that obvious?" Anita asked, darting her eyes and running to sit close to Angie. "Guess what?" "You know I'm not good at guessing; you should spill it out immediately," Angie said adrenaline rushed through her body, eager to hear the good news."Is Austin asleep already?" Anita asked, looking around the house, and Angie raised her brow, wondering why she was not talking already."He shoul
Alexander was in his office working on his computer and thinking deeply about his last discussion with Lawrence."Find love, indeed." He scoffed. He had completely given up on love and did not believe that he would ever find love again.Maybe it was never in his destiny to find love anyway.Then he thought about his grandparents trying to find a wife for him. That would not even work either.He scoffed again.Alexander's phone, which he had earlier tossed into the drawer because he did not want any disturbance from it, suddenly started ringing.He rolled his eyes and continued with his work, completely ignoring the phone.He planned to ignore the phone even further, but the ringing persisted, and he decided to at least check who it was.He grudgingly pulled open the drawer and brought the phone out of it, only to see that the caller was no other person than his doctor. He quickly picked it up, hoping that the doctor had found a woman who was willing to carry his child since they both
Anita arrived at the movie set at the same time as her manager, Jessica; other actresses and actors were already at the scene."I hope I'm not late," Anita said the moment she came down from her car and took off her sunglasses."No, you are right on time," Jessica said, smiling at her. Then she took her by the hand and led her to where the other actors were sitting.The other actresses who were present there started murmuring; some of them went to Anita and asked to take pictures with her, which she agreed to without much hassle.Scarlet, who had been present there all along but was not acknowledged in that manner, stood watching everyone gather around her and trying to get on her good side with her face flushed and her jaws clenched."Bitch." She muttered under her breath and scoffed.Anita did not pay any attention to Scarlet after she finished taking pictures with the other actresses and signing her autograph.A young girl, around nineteen years old, walked toward her and introduce
Alexander was sitting in his luxurious office and staring into space, even though there were stacks of papers on his table waiting to be attended to and loads of work waiting to be done.His mind wandered to several places, everywhere except the work on his table.He could not stop thinking about his sperm that was stolen from the hospital. Who could have stolen his sperm?Alex could not help but wonder if someone was trying to have his child."But why." He muttered to himself.Well, for obvious reasons. But then, how did they know about it?Alexander could not stop worrying about whoever was trying to have his child and why.What if it raises a scandal tomorrow?Maybe demand for child support?He did not want to do anything that would affect the Scott family again; he had done enough already, and he did not want his grandparents to be angry and disappointed in him if this leaked.He stood up from his chair and started pacing around his office, then looked out the window.The view fro
Anita was staring at her face in the mirror as she washed her hands in the sink, hoping to see some physical changes in her body.She had even stood in front of the mirror several times in her house, observing and looking at her stomach."Anita, it's too early to see a stomach bulge." She said to herself.However, she had noticed lately that she was having a slight headache and had been feeling weak lately, even feeling nauseated.She was happy to see that the symptoms were the same as when she was pregnant with Austin. She felt hopeful, but she needed to confirm first before raising her hopes.Anita cleaned her hand with the napkin after washing it; she needed to go back to the movie set.It had been one month since they started shooting the movie, and everything was going perfectly well. They were almost done with the movie. Jessica would drop by now, and then you would commend her for her good job.Sylvia Scott was always all over her and trying to please her.Anita walked out of t
Days passed, and Anita was still feeling down as she washed her face after throwing up in the bathroom sink. Even the persistent headache and feeling of weakness kept increasing as the day went by.Her heart beat with rays of hope that she might be pregnant again; these symptoms are definitely not ordinary.She decided to talk to Angie about it.She walked out of the bathroom and went to meet Angie, who was in the kitchen doing dishes."Where's Austin, babe?" She asked as she got closer to her."He went to his room after eating; he is probably already asleep," Angie replied, turning to face Anita after cleaning the last dish with a hand towel."You've been acting strange lately; are you alright?" She asked with furrowed brows."That is actually what I came to discuss with you." Anita looked away with a smile. "I think I might be pregnant."Angie's eyes lit up. "For real?" She exclaimed, "Let me see." She rushed to Anita and started checking her tummy."Wait." Anita expressed laughter.
Alexander looked at Travis with disgust; his face frowned as he tapped his foot continuously, getting impatient with Travis's pretense.He checked his wristwatch, and he furrowed his brow. Alexander did not have enough time to keep playing hide-and-seek with him."Are you trying to play dumb with me now? Huh!" Alexander asked, his voice sharp. He aggressively removed his tie and threw it at a corner."I seriously do not know what you are talking about, Alexander." Travis clasped back, his voice shaky."Really?" Alexander shouted, his lips curled "Then what is this?" He took out his phone from his pocket and showed the messages to Travis."Are you sure you don't recognize this?" Alexander asked again, rolling his sleeves.Travis narrowed his brows as he looked at the messages."Do you recognize this now, or should I remind you?" Alexander shouted into his face."You really think I did this? I swear it's not me; why do you think I would do this?""Why else? Huh! Why else, if not because
