I, LINDA BROWNE, WAS IN MY PERSONAL OFFICE ROOM. MY SECRETARY, NYRA, KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND OPENED IT. SHE LOOKED VERY HAPPY.

"MA'AM, YOU WON' T BELIEVE THIS! OUR COMPANY' S DIRECTING BOARD SAID THAT WOMAN ARE LOVING OUR BEAUTY PRODUCTS. THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF SALES. WE ARE RECEIVING A LOT OF PROFIT."

"GREAT! WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS IN THIS WAY."

"MA'AM, TODAY WE' RE HOSTING A PARTY FOR OUR COMPANY' S SUCCESS. I WANT YOU TO WEAR YOUR BEST DRESS."

"WHY?" I LOOKED AT HER SUSPICIOUSLY. SOMETHING WAS THERE WHICH WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I KNEW SHE WOULDN' T TELL ME. YET, I ASKED HER ABOUT IT.

"WELL.......MA'AM, IT' S NOTHING."

"ARE YOU GOING TO TELL ME OR NOT?" I SAID A LITTLE SHARPLY.

"MA'AM, YOUR SISTER, SIYA BROWNE, HAS COME TO MEET YOU. SHE DOESN' T SEEM TO BE FEELING WELL, ALTHOUGH SHE SAID THAT SHE IS FINE.

"ARGHHH! WHAT? WHY DIDN' T YOU TELL THAT TO ME BEFORE? BRING HER IN. HURRY!"

NYRA IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT OF THE ROOM AND CAME BACK WITH MY SISTER. NYRA LEFT THE ROOM. MY SISTER, SIYA, SAT ON A CHAIR. 

"ARE YOU OKAY?" I WAS WORRIED.

"YES, I AM." SIYA REPLIED, TRYING TO CALM ME. "YOU DO NO THAT NYRA ADDS - UP A LOT AND WHATEVER SHE SAYS IS A SELF - MADE TRUTH. I JUST THINK WHY SHE BECAME YOUR ASSISTANT. SHE SHOULD' VE BECOME A SCIENTIST."

I LAUGHED AT HER JOKE. "WELL, YOU MUST HAVE COME DUE TO SOME REASON, RIGHT?"

SHE FELT INSECURE WITH THAT QUESTION. "Y - YES. ACTUALLY......................."

"PLEASE TELL ME, SIYA." I PLEADED WITH HER.

"FINE. LISTEN...................I - I- I' M A." SHE GULPED NERVOUSLY. "I'M A PR - PREGNANT."

"WHAT?" I WAS HORRIFIED. "DID YOU JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE A PREGNANT?"

"YES."

"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. I' LL KILL THE PERSON WHO' S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. PLEASE TELL ME."

"I DON' T THINK ANYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. MAYBE I WAS TOO CLOSE TO HIM."

"TO WHOM? I ASKED, CONFUSED.

"HE IS MY BOYFRIEND."

"TELL ME HIS NAME."

"HE - HE' S NIC - NICHOLAS ANDERSON."

I WAS STUNNED. THAT MAN WAS POPULAR FOR HIS HOTNESS AND ARROGANT BEHAVIOR. HE WAS  ANOTHER BILLIONAIRE LIKE ME WHO OWNED THE VILLA - KNOWN FOR IT' S RESORTS AND HOTELS. "B- BUT H - HOW?" I WAS UNABLE TO SPEAK.

"WE LOVED EACH OTHER FOR FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND..........."

"AND WHAT?"

"HE LEFT ME A FEW DAYS AGO. HE' S BEEN IGNORING ME SINCE THEN."

"WHY?"

" 'CAUSE I TOLD HIM ABOUT MY PREGNANCY. HIS EYES WERE BURNING WITH ANGER. HE LEFT ME AND WARNED ME NOT TO TELL THIS TO ANYONE BECAUSE HE FEARED OF LOSING HIS REPUTATION. OH LINDA! WHAT AM I TO DO? IF FATHER GETS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS, HE WOULDN' T REVENGE NICHOLAS. INSTEAD, HE WOULD TORTURE ME FOR DOING SUCH A THING. I' LL HAVE NO OPTION LEFT EXCEPT................"

"SIYA, NO. YOU ARE NOT THINKING OF DRINKING POISON, ARE YOU?" I WAS ALARMED.

"YES. I WOULD HAVE TO DO IT." SHE BURIED HER HEAD IN HER HANDS.

I WAS CLENCHING MY FISTS IN ANGER. MAYBE THAT MEAN NICHOLAS WAS VERY ARROGANT BUT HE HAD NO RIGHT TO HURT A WOMAN IN THIS WAY. "SIYA, DON' T STRESS YOURSELF TOO MUCH. I' LL DEAL WITH FATHER. HE' LL LISTEN TO ME. I' M SURE. PLEASE DON' T CRY. YOU KNOW, I GET HURT WHEN YOU CRY LIKE THIS - I' M SENSITIVE." I TRIED TO COMFORT HER. SHE STOPPED CRYING, LOOKED AT ME AND HUGGED ME. I HUGGED HER BACK.
