Chapter 6

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, at least try to confirm if she’s telling the truth or not” he wasn’t shouting or yelling, instead his eyes held the usual softness and calmness.

He’s the direct opposite of me, very calm, nice and reserved while I’m the roaring and angry lion. He's meek but very hardworking and smart, my number one loyal person.

I looked him over like I was just seeing him for the first time in my life when we grew up together, Brian was more like a brother to me. “That will explain why you are so nice and sweet to her, she attractive of course but I know you would never cheat on Priscilla”

He scoffed and shook his head at me in affirmation. I sometimes wish I was in Brian’s shoes, with fewer enemies and competition, and find a woman who can love and accept me for who I am.

“You can find a woman that will be yours forever, she doesn’t seem like one who needs your money, didn’t you hear her?” Brain stated again, finding another way to put Kenna into the conversation.

“The mere fact that I might be a father soon is interesting and I’m beginning to think of the possibility, but what if she’s just like the others, about sixteen women who lied to me and gave me false hope, some even brought another persons’ child to me!, you know why I ended things with Monica” I answered, turning around to look out from my glass walls.

“She lied to you about being pregnant and tried to pin someone else's child on you, I get that and I will never forget how you felt when you found out but that was four years ago and you need to move on” Brain was so bent on making me listen to him.

“Okay!… it’s fine I will do something about it, let's start with putting a secret investigator behind her heels to monitor her every movement. If she’s lying or there’s another man we will find out and I can’t wait to tell you that I told you so” I bursted out.

But even as I said that I noticed that I didn’t want Kenna to see another man or be with someone else. I was hoping that she was real and innocent just like she looked, praying silently that there was a child and that the child belonged to me.

But I wasn't given the time to think too long about what to do with Kenna and her confession about being pregnant for me.

“Sir..! The meeting is about to commence and Mr Anthony is making them take votes against you” My secretary who’s also my whore sounded hysterical and worried on the phone.

She thinks we are in a serious relationship when I have told her over and over again that I will never be into her or be with her like she wants.

“Listen to me, make sure you stall them as much as you can, I’m on my way back to the company and I will be there in ten minutes” I shot back at her.

I know she would be wondering how I sound so smooth and calm even during any crises, when my competitor is about to steal my business ownership from me, Anthony is my worst enemy and we have been fighting over my various companies and cooperation.

He believes he has the right to it since his late father was one of the biggest shareholders who invested in my late father's business plan when he just started, although I have given him the position of vice president he didn’t want that.

“Your father put his money and savings no doubt and my father had paid him in multiple folds back, my father also did the hard work, used his brain and also sorted out other investments to be as wealthy and advanced as this!” I remembered putting him in his place the last time he tried to do a meeting behind my back.

Just then Brian's voice crept into my head and I knew what to do at once. It's high time that I bring Kenna into the picture, after all, he has been winning the battle all these years because I didn’t have a family.

“I’m getting married soon and there will be an heir, our dear Sean here is a womanizer and he isn’t ready to get married let alone have a child, do you want to put your life and investment in such a man's hand? A man that has no value or morals!” Anthony's voice blasted from my phone.

I had ordered my secretary to let me listen in on their conversation so she didn’t put an end to the call.

Well, he has been using that same line to get my board of directors and investors to sit every time and listen to him, it’s high time I end the whole thing, I will use Kenna just as she intends to use me.
