Jared pov
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" I asked in disbelief "why do I need to marry her, she is my wife's sister and a minor"
"You should have considered all of that when you took her to your bed" Mrs Wright shouted "you got my daughter pregnant so you must take responsibility"
"What? How? I didn't even touch her" I shouted
"Oh yes you did Jared" Amara cried "if not then how did I get pregnant?"
Allysa just looked at her in disbelief. She started breathing hard touching her stomach and that made me turn all my attention to her.
"Baby what's wrong?" I asked touching her stomach
"I'm fine" she replied but her face looked pale
"Are you even listening to us?" Mrs Wright shouted
"Can you please shut up" I said angrily making all of them to flinch "My wife is sick and she is fucking pregnant, the last thing she needs is you budging into our house with some crazy accusations"
"She is what now?" Mrs Wright asked
"How?" Amara asked
"Really?" Grandpa suddenly got excited "so I will get two grandchildren?" He asked
"Only one, that of Amara is not mine" I replied
"Don't play dumb Jared, my daughter slept with you and you must take responsibility" Mrs Wright shouted
"I am not..."
"Jared pleasee.." Allysa cried "that's enough, I don't feel good" she stand straight and face Amara "are you sure you're carrying my husband's child?"
"Yes, I'm sure" Amara replied with confidence
"Okay, then Jared will marry her" she told Grandpa
"Baby.." I said in disbelief. What is she thinking? "I don't love her, and what about you? After all, I'm not allowed to have two wives" I defended myself
"Jared, I'm too tired to argue. Just marry her okay, don't worry about me. After all, I might not be around for long" she said
I started tearing up immediately. Those words hurt. I know that she might not be around for long but was it necessary to rub it on my face?
"Don't say that Allysa" I cried but she just gave me a smile.
Everyone was confused, they didn't know what we were talking about. Grandpa wanted to ask but his mouth was just opening and closing, it was like he didn't know what to say and his eyes was filled with guilt.
"Amara will stay but mother, you should find a place to stay" Allysa said "I guess everything is settled here, I need to rest if you will excuse me" she said and then left the living room.
I looked at them angrily before running towards my wife. I found Allysa sitting on our bed
"Baby.." I called
"I know Jared. I know" she said laying on my chest "you didn't sleep with her and she probably have Bruce's child. But, she is a minor babe, Bruce will rot in jail for sleeping with her ..."
"She is 17 Allysa and will be 18 soon, she is not that young" I argued
"I know. But baby, I'm tired. I don't want drama and Bruce has been our best employee for years, we need to protect him at all cost"
"And what about me? Who will protect me?" I asked
She Smiled "you have me, grandpa and your dad. We are all here for you"
I chuckled "grandpa? Really?" I asked in disbelief "and that sister of yours is a snake, she poisoned him"
"Amara is just a kid. A real snake is our mother" she said
"So, what are we gonna do?" I asked
"Let her sray here and follow my lead" she said with a smirk
Guess Amara has messed with a wrong person.

Two days later
"Maid! I need hot milk" Amara shouted
"Yes ma'am" the maid run quick for her dear life
Allysa sighed for the umpteenth time massaging her temples. She looked so fed up with her sister and it was only two days.
I wanted to open my mouth but then she touched my hands and shook her head to stop me.
"She is too much" I whispered angrily
"I know. Bare with her for a few days. Okay?" She said pouting her lips so that I can kiss them and I did.
Amara looked at us up and down as I get lovey dovey with my wife without caring that she was there.
"Jared, my legs hurt can you give me a massage?" Amara asked
"I am bad at that so maybe you can visit a spa or something" I said standing up wanting to leave for office.
She pouted her lips looking away. Who cares?
"Baby, I'm leaving" I told Allysa "will you be okay?" I said glaring at Amara
"I will sweetheart. Don't worry" she gave me an assuring smile
Nowadays Allysa has been so sweet, like sweeter than ever. Even if she is pregnant, she tries to act normal like she is not even struggling with it. Though I know that it gives her too much trouble but she is strong, and I can't help but love her more everyday.
We moved out of the house as my wife escort me to my car and we hug before I get in and drive off.
I reach at the office within twenty five minutes and now I was checking my schedule since I don't have my PA with me.
"I really need to hire a PA" I mumbled before hearing my phone ring. It was my house
"Hello-"
"Sir, sir, it's ma'am Allysa" Stella the maid shouted
"What? What about her?" I asked my eyes widened
"She fainted again" she said
"Oh God!" I said pulling my hair "listen to me, call an ambulance right now. I'm on my way" I said dropping the call before she could answer
I run outside the office quickly
"Jane and Henry, you will be incharge of all my meetings until I come back" I said quickly running outside the office building
Stella called again saying that they were on their way to the hospital so I started driving wildly towards the hospital
What happened baby, you were just fine like an hour ago. I thought
"Please baby, be okay" I said increasing the speed.
