Maid Of Seduction novel Chapter 15

"Because I know for certain that you're pregnant with my child and you lied to get away from Melissa. I went along with it but you don't have me fool as well Anna. I want to help you so let me help you!"

I was shocked from his discoveries. He saw right through me and my act.

"How did you know?" I asked as my hands went down to my stomach.

"Prank shop? Like really Anna?" He asked with a small chuckle.

"I'm sorry but I had to do something to get away from your wife. She's the devil. I can't hand over my child and I know she would make me do it."

"Melissa is persistent on the things she wants but I'm on your side. She doesn't have to know about a thing between us but I want to help you. Please allow me to do that."

"Okay."

He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead. "I'll call you later on in the week. Take care of yourself and the baby."

He left. 

Two Days Later

I was having a meal when my phone started ringing on the table. I answered.

"Be ready at noon." He hung up.

At noon, I was ready and waiting by the door. I heard his car pulled up on the broken up pavement outside.

I opened the door and walked towards the car. I got in the passenger's front seat and fastened my seat belt.

"Hi." I greeted him.

"Hi." He answered back.

He stepped on the accelerator and drove us to his desired location.

We arrived in a quite beautiful neighborhood. It was quiet and only expensive looking houses lined the street.

"They're all vacant except for those two." He said and pointed at two houses very close to each other.

"Okay."

"See any you like?" He asked.

My eyes landed a very luxurious house.

"This is it!" I squealed with excitement which earned a laughter from him.

"The Realtor should be here any minute now." And as if on cue, a car pulled up on the driveway.

"Hello hello." A friendly woman with a Jamaican accent greeted us.

"Hi." I answered.

She ushered Antonio and I to the yard.

"No need to showcase. She likes this one." Antonio told her as he looked down at his Rolex.

"Very well." She answered as she handed him the keys. He signed two documents and allowed me to sign one. The woman got back into her car and drove off.

I was amazed. "That's it?" I asked.

"I'm Antonio Kissle." He gave me the keys. "Want to do the honors?"

"Yes please." I answered quickly and took the keys and ran for the front doors. I opened the door and I felt like I was in heaven.

Everything looked polished and expensive. From the floors to the chandelier in the ceiling. I loved everything in my new house.

"I love it. Thank you so much Antonio." I said as turned towards him.

"Not right now Antonio. I just want to explore the place a little."

"Okay. I'll unpack and you can explore all you want."

She gave me a quick peck on the cheek and ran out the bedroom. I used the alone moment to check in on Anna. She was by herself and I needed to know if she was doing alright.

On the fourth ring, she answered.

"Hey, how are the two of you doing?"

"We're fine. I've just been resting and thinking about you."

I found myself smiling but I quickly erased it as if she was seeing it.

"Well I'm just calling to check in. I'll schedule a doctor's appointment when I return next week. Take care of yourself, okay?"

"I will. Goodbye." She hung up and I felt a pang in my stomach. Erasing that again, I went to find Melissa.

I found her walking along the beach with a worried expression on her face.

"What's the matter? You're not having fun?"

"I am Antonio but I feel so empty lately. I can't give you what you want I feel like you're going to leave me for someone who could."

"Mel, baby. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to leave you because you can't give me a child. For better, for worse and I'm standing by that. I love you."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I lowered it to kiss her.

"I love you too Antonio. Promise me that you wouldn't leave me."

I opened my mouth to let the words fall out but they seemed to have been caught in my windpipe so I nodded instead. She rested her head on my chest and we took in the scene of the gentle waves crashing on the shoreline.
