Chapter 0250


    “Yes. Again. She''s the mastermind behind all this chaos. There''s something I want to make clear to


    her before I start sorting out this mess she has made.” I divulge and walk over to the transparent


    wall to ceiling window that gives me a view of the city below. The top of sky-scrappers, a few birds


    flying here and there, the busy street beneath and the only thing that''s saving me from the


    cacophony produced by the cars and other activities going on below is the sound-proofed ss


    window. “I''m waiting.” I tell Kyle who seems to still be nted on his spot.


    One of these days, we''re going to have to talk. He serves me diligently and I’m grateful to him for


    that, but I can''t ignore the fact that he’s affected by this in some way.


    Alina is his one and only sister and he loves her.


    “I''m on it.” His retreating footsteps fill my ears and I only turn around when I hear the door closing


    behind me.

    I know Alina''s motives for spreading this news. I know what she wants from me. I know the extent to


    which she''s willing to go just to get what she wants from me.


    But she’s not going to get it. Not even in her wildest dreams!


    I have never felt anything for her. Even if I didn’t meet Ashanti, Alina would not be the girl I’d choose


    to spend the rest of my life with. She’s the worst!


    Twenty minutester, she''s walking into my office with a smug smile nted at the side of her lips.


    “Two times in a single day? Does this mean you''re finally warming up to me?” Her shrill voice fills


    my ears and I cringe. Her wicked smile spreads all over her face and I fight my urge to roll my eyes.


    Warming up to her, my ass!


    “You must think you''re very smart, Alina.”


    “It''s not a thought, it''s a fact. I am smart.” She stops in front of me, smirking.


    “Oh... Is that so?”


    “Yes, it is so.” She strikes a killer pose and crosses her arms over breasts. My eyes drop to her


    stomach and the little bulge I spot makes my heart turn. I can''t believe my life has been turned


    upside down by the mere existence of that bulge.


    “Did you honestly think that your father and the council of elders could bully me into choosing you


    over Ashanti?” I ask calmly, dangerously and she squints, feigning surprise.


    “What?”


    “As if telling your father about your pregnancy was not enough, you went ahead to spread the good


    news to the council of elders? To rally them against my rtionship with Ashanti?”


    “I did nothing of that sort! I have no idea what you are talking about.” She’s looking at me as though


    I’ve lost my mind and I can’t help butmend her acting skills.


    “Don''t you dare lie to me, Alina.” I take long strides towards her, anger brewing in my veins and my


    temper slipping to the ground, shattering into pieces on the floor. “You told them!”


    “No, I did not! And I will not stand here and listen to you use of doing something I know nothing


    about.” She says, breathing hard and my anger grows hotter.


    Looking at her right now makes me think of a thousand terrible things I could do to hurt her which


    includes ending her miserable life.


    “If the elders got to know about the pregnancy, you should me my father, not me. He was


    distraught when I told him about it and if he told the elders, it means he''s simply trying to fight for


    me, his daughter, like a father should! How would you feel if you had a daughter and a guy got her


    pregnant and that same guy ns to marry someone else. How would you take that news?” Her


    voice is tight with anger and bitterness, but all I see in her eyes is pretence.


    God, she''s good at this!


    Instigating a devious act and ying victim when she''s caught.


    I breathe in one quick, sharp, shaky breath and contemte whether to throw her out of my office or


    not.
