KENNA“Can’t believe I helped such an ungrateful man”, I said as I stormed into my room. Sean’s attitude surprised me. I was just trying to help because I noticed he hesitated and I saw his communication with Brain when he asked him to kiss me.The whole thing was beginning to look suspicious and I noticed the Anthony guy smiling as he watched us.“I had to do it not knowing I was helping such an ingrate,” I said as I sat in front of my mirror. I regret helping him, I should have just let them take away his company from him.******It has been days since the party. I noticed Sean was avoiding me and I gave him the space he needed. I need to go out and breathe fresh air, it so suffocating inside this house, I thought to myself, I then remembered what happened the last time I went out with Nikki.I picked up my phone and called Sean. “What is it?” I heard as he picked up the call from the other end.“Can’t you be polite for once?” I said, rolling my eyes. “Well, I just wanted to infor
KENNA"Kenna, do you have any idea what time it is?" Greg McAllister snapped as she entered the dressing room."I'm so sorry. It's just that my landlord was on my back and—" she stuttered"I don't want to hear any excuses, girly. You're always late. The only reason why I haven't fired you yet is because you have a pretty smile and customers like you. Other than that, you would've been gone a long time ago." My boss, Greg McAllister, lectured me with a frown on his chubby face.I sighed through my mouth. "I know, I know. I'm just sorry. I won't let it happen again." I apologized, and he waved his wrist in dismissal."Whatever. I don't care anyway. Go brush your hair and freshen your makeup because two men booked our private lounge. They requested for our best and most discreet worker, which happens to you." Greg told me, and I parted my lips.Our private lounge was really exclusive and so for these men to book the entire place for themselves, meant they must've been incredibly rich. Un
KENNAI woke up alone the next morning to bright sunlight glaring at me and my body tangled between the sheets. Memories of what I did last night came crashing down on me like a heavy wave. I had sex with a stranger. And not only that, but he didn't use protection."What is wrong with me?" I asked myself in a murmur. I was incredibly careless last night. What if I got pregnant? No way, that couldn't happen. Not in a million years would it ever be possible for me to get pregnant from a one-night stand. I was just worried about nothing.I hoped… "Sean, are you still here?" I asked in a groggy voice as I forced myself out of the bed and walked around the room, searching for him.I couldn't find him anywhere. He left me here. I went back to the room to pick up my clothes, then I found a note by the bedstand.I had an amazing time last night. Thank you.Underneath the note was a wad of hundred-dollar bills that had me gaping at the sight."Does he think that I'm a hooker?" I asked mysel
KENNATwo months later… I was pregnant. It wasn't verified yet but I knew I was pregnant. Pungent smells made me feel like puking, the foods I used to adore disgusted me, I threw up for no reason, and I was always hungry."Kenna, are you sure about this? I mean you could just be going overboard here." Nikki said to me as she stockpiled our grocery cart with different kinds of pregnancy tests."I'm not going overboard. I know it. I feel pregnant. But even if I'm not, I just need to make sure of it." I said in a down tone, and she nodded her head.We got to my small apartment half an hour later, and I grabbed about six of the tests with me to the restroom and used all of them. I came out and set them on the table, waiting."How long is this going to take?" Nikki asked me in an impatient tone.I sighed, then glanced at my phone. "Two minutes, tops," I answered. Then as time went by, different thoughts started to cross my mind."Let's say that I am pregnant, how am I going to find the f
KENNAMy first course of action was to talk to Greg and ask him who Sean was. Unfortunately for me, he took a vacation for two weeks and instructed the other workers to tell Nikki and me not to contact him for anything other than a life and death-matter.Today was the day that he was going to return to work and I was fully prepared. I knocked on his office door and waited to hear a grunt in reply before I stepped in."What is it, girly? If it doesn't have to do with me making a ton of money, then leave the office." Greg said in a gruff manner before he turned to look at me.I rolled my eyes. "This is incredibly serious," I told him as I took a seat on the chair across from him. "What happened?" He raised a curious brow. "I'm pregnant." I blurted out. His lips parted and I saw how shock flashed on his features before he cackled."You got a boyfriend now or…?""You remember those two men who booked the entire private lounge months ago. The one I went home with. He's the only one I've
KENNA My heart was beating way too fast and my legs felt too heavy for my body weight, I was dragging myself to move closer to the magnificent building in front of me.“I have to do this … I don’t have any choice!” I closed my eyes and reminded myself, breathing heavily to calm myself down.Looking around the inner building with awe and amazement while some passerby fixed their gaze on me like I had lost my mind, I wouldn’t blame them because I would have thought the same if I was someone else.“Ma’am welcome to our cooperation, please what can we do for you?” a young lady with so much makeup walked toward me to ask, the “please” in her sentence felt weird because she was gnawing at me and wasn't smiling. Instead, she had this annoyed look.I realised at once that I had been standing in one place for over ten minutes. I shook my head at her and cleared my throat. “Uhmmmm, I came … Can I? Hmmm” my eyes were wide open In fear. I realized that I couldn’t breathe properly as tension and
SEAN“Brian don’t look at me like that! You know too well what these women have put me through, I can’t even trust my mother, she tried to force Monica on me too!” I yelled at my best friend.Knowing fully well that she wants me to be happy, she’s always telling me how happy and fulfilled he is since she married my dad and gave him a handsome and intelligent baby boy.“Look here… I also wish to have my own family and someone who will love me for me not for my money and influence but there’s none, that woman would never open her legs without knowing who I am, she did it to lie about being pregnant!” I proclaimed again.Trying to force my breath to stabilize, Brian's eyes were assessing me carefully before sauntering to one of the refrigerators in my big office to pour himself a chilled blue wine; his favourite, he took a full gulp, then belched loudly.“You know me too well that I’m good with instinct and I will repeat over again… that Kenna girl isn’t like Monica or the rest of them,
KENNA A week later “I will not allow you to insult me again, not today! I stayed away all this while for my peace of mind and your men kept coming to my place to harass me, what do you want from me?” I barked at him.Although I’m scared of him and the power he wields, right now he’s beginning to frustrate me. As if the insult he gave me the last time I went to his office wasn’t enough he kept sending his men to convince me to come to his house for a meeting!“I don’t have anything now and I’m so poor that I was contemplating removing this baby but yet I didn’t bother you so stop staring at me! What do you want?” I asked again, dropping my bag so I could flex my hand muscles properly to gesticulate. “You don't have to scream at the top of your lungs, my mother is listening in on us and you don’t want her to be fixated on you, you can as well testify that she’s not so nice” he spoke to me softly.I didn’t expect him to be so calm when talking, this is because he’s always shouting and
