Hannah had been held spellbound by Kennedy's confession. A lot of things that he did had not sat well with her since the first day they met.
All he did was try to give her the benefit of the doubt, and here she was, hearing his confession of a child after months of dating.
She thought that he intended to harm her, and she had been a bit skeptical. All the while, it had been another woman.
"So, you were seeing someone else?" She asked him. He was silent for a while, and she scoffed at how ignorant she had been all the while.
She could not believe that she had let her guard down one more time and had a man do this to her again.

Declan came up from the office in a hurry. He had an impromptu meeting in two hours with the board that he had not fully prepared for.These were the days that he missed Micheal. He had gone for his annual leave, leaving Declan at the mercy of his horrible secretary, who could barely put things together like he wanted.It was probably because Micheal had worked with him the longest. His secretary was good at her job, but he had his specifications that only his assistant, Micheal, knew about.He was supposed to put together some files that he would be needing for the meeting, and he had forgotten them in his study.Samantha was not helping matters as well. She suddenly spent most of her mornings wit
Declan turned to look at her as she kept laughing. He was not sure why she was laughing, as he had not said anything funny. "What is it?" He asked her with a straight face. Once she took another look at him, she burst out laughing again. "Can you just stop?" He flared up as he stood up and walked to the balcony. She then knew that he did not find what she was doing funny. She stood up, went over to where he was, and placed a hand comfortingly on his back. He removed it sharply, and she knew that he was pissed for real this time. "I'm sorry," she said as she returned her hand comfortingly to his back. "It's not you that I am angry with," he said as he turned around to face her. "Then tell me what it is," she said as she looked into his eyes. "I said that Georgina is trying to seduce me, and that is not what I want right now," he said. "Remember what happened the last time," he added. She looked at him. She did not believe him at all, at least, not this time. He had many reserv
Micheal dreaded going back home since he and his girlfriend went on leave together.They had gone to Zanzibar and had a nice time there. She insisted that they go to Paris to see his parents.Even though he was a bit skeptical about it, he accepted the idea because he loved her.Everybody said that she was way out of his league because she looked like a model and he, was a timid young man.If he had proposed to her and she had willingly agreed to spend the rest of her life with him, he wanted to believe that there was more to it than just looks.Her parents were not different. They were not willing to accept him at all, and her father did
Twenty minutes in his office, and Declan could barely get any work done. He had been overthinking so much about his relationship with Samantha. They had hit a hard rock again, and he could only imagine how far this could go this time around. He managed to open up the files that his secretary had placed on his table. Micheal was running late, which was very unlike him. He decided to focus on work and forget about the things that disturbed him. Money was very important to sustain their lifestyle. He was responsible for quite a few people, and that was another reason he had to work. Micheal soon came in, giddy with excitement. "What is it?" Declan asked him as he came closer to speaking with him. "You are looking at the latest father in this city," Micheal said as he placed his tablet neatly on the desk with a smile on his face. "Your girlfriend is pregnant?" Declan asked him. "I just found out yesterday," Micheal said excitedly. Sometimes, he acted like a child, but Declan thou
Georgina quickly put herself together as soon as she saw Samantha. She touched the coat immediately, as though she had not been doing anything some seconds ago."What is going on here?" Samantha asked, looking from Georgina to Declan. None of them was willing to say anything, and it got her so angry. Georgina quickly rushed out of the office, leaving Declan at Samantha's mercy. "What are you trying to prove?" She fired at him. He looked surprised, as he thought this was going to be a confirmation of what he had told her before. "Is this your intention of making me believe you?" She asked him again, leaving him speechless. "You just saw what happened. It was very glaring," he said. "Save it, Declan," she interjected. "Everything here points out that this is what you have strategically planned out," she said. "But it is so low of you to set this up just to prove a point to me," she said. "Are you going to put this on me once again?" She asked. "I'm not trying to put anything on y
Hannah rejected the call for the umpteenth time. It was not like she hated that Kennedy had a child, it was because he kept it from her for a long time. He would probably not have said anything to her if she had not questioned him about the fishy text messages that she had been noticing for a while.She was also not ready to associate herself with a crazy person. His ex-girlfriend sounded like one, and she was not only looking out for herself but for her children. She was already saddled with the responsibility of dealing with two kids, and one more child sounded like an additional burden. There was a limit to what she could tolerate. She misses him every day. It was because of him that she experienced the kindness that she seemed to have been deprived of for a long time. He was a good man, and she was hoping for a good life with him. It was so funny that she had chosen to let her guard down when this was happening. She was not the person to settle for someone who worked as an e
Declan finally emptied the second bottle of vodka into the glass he had been using to drink since dawn. He had barely batted an eyelid throughout the night, as he had been busy thinking about the possibility that Samantha would never come back to him again. He had no idea where she had gone, and all the security men and staff could only report that she had just left. None of them could tell where she was headed. He had been trying to call her, and she had been ignoring his call. At some point, when she was probably fed up, he could not reach her at all, and it troubled him. He asked Abigail to search for her in the city, where she had previously stayed, but she was still not in sight. He did not want to think that she had killed herself or done something dangerous to herself. He would not be able to live with himself anymore. As he sat on the floor by the pool, he stared into space and emptied the glass of vodka into his mouth. He wished that there was a way to numb the pain in
A siege of silence enveloped Declan for the next few days. He did not know how to react to Daniel taking his place as CEO. There were other things that he was more concerned about. He spent so much time in the suite that he shared with Samantha. All her belongings were gone, save the pajamas she used the morning she left. He carried it about and sniffed it often. It was not in the certainty of death, but in the uncertainty that he may never get to see her while she was alive again. She had been through a lot since she met him, contrary to how perfect her life was before she met him. Every day, he looked forward to hearing some good news from Abigail, but she had no clue about where to find her.Micheal came to check on him every day, and today was not an exception. As soon as he walked through the door, Declan raised himself from the bed and pushed into the living room. To his surprise, he saw Daniel, who bore a mischievous smile at the corner of his lips."Get out," Declan sai
