Chapter Eighty-five

He had dozed off in his study, his head on his desk. Last night everything was screaming Bella, he missed her presence and it felt like he had lost her for good. This morning, although he felt gloomy, he just could not wait to go and see her, he quickly got up and went into his room, stopping briefly at the corridor separating their rooms as though acting out of impulse, hoping to see her, but it was a facade. He entered his room, undressed and went in to clean up, after he had tidied up, he got dressed. He rushed down for his breakfast which could not raise his appetite, he abandoned his meal after taking a sip of his tea, he went out. As soon as he stepped out, he was met with the shock of his life, Stella was outside struggling to get in with the guards, what was she doing here this morning of all mornings. He could remember evidently that she was banned from coming to his place, besides, who had opened the gate, giving her access, "Jay.. Hey!!! Jay Martins!!! We need to talk ",she said when he tried to ignore her, turning to his bodyguards, he said, "Show her out ",and continued to his car when she screamed, "I'm pregnant you son of a bitch ",she yelled loud enough to make everyone stop what they were doing, he stopped dead in his tracks. What was she talking about, their last sex was with a condom and it was not up to two weeks yet,  it was impossible. She must have gotten the wrong lines, so he stomped over to her, "What the fuck are you ranting about Stella, it's impossible okay because I'm cock sure I used a condom ",he said and she chuckled, "I doubt you'll be pussy sure that condoms are not one hundred percent safe my darling ",she said looking like the very devil himself, what had he gotten himself into. "You never wanted a baby Stella so do away with it because if you think you're going to hold me down with a child, you're... ",he was saying about to warn her when she broke the full news to him,"I'm keeping the baby Jay and for your information, I'm moving in :,she said, "No you're not ",he said and she asked why, "Well because I'm not the father of whatever is in your tummy, secondly I'm in love with a more respectful woman ",he said with finality, "Come off your dream world darling, this is reality and we're facing this one together ",she said. The seriousness in her tone told him that whatever it was, she already had it all mapped out, he was dead meat. He should have known, he should have read the signs she had put up, but he was a fool, and like the foolish young man in the biblical proverbs, he had been drawn in like a lamb to the slaughter. "Get in the car ",he told her with a gruff voice and she entered, he swerved into the road, in a madman ride, "Where are we going to Jay ",she asked innocently, irritating him the more. He had not the time to answer her, he had better get this tidied up this morning before Bella returns, one thing he was sure about, Stella was evil and whatever she had coming, he needed to get the hang of it. He needed to see his doctor and run some confirmations, taking his phone, he dialed, the good natured man picked up in the second ring, he informed him that he was coming and had an appointment booked urgently. He cast one glance at Stella and could see her snicker in triumphant, she just might have won this one but he was going to strike a hard bargain. He had used a fucking condom, he remembered discarding it himself and there was no sign of a leak, how could she be carrying his baby then, moreso, was she expecting to get pregnant that she comes to inform him barely two weeks ago they had sex that she was pregnant. Whatever she and her cronies had planned out this time, must be huge and he was the fool who walked into a trap open eyed.
