" I'm pregnant. "
Nicholas jerked his head up from the company paperwork he was examining in his study. The words from the step daughter he was trying to avoid almost had him passing out in his seat. He couldn't even look the woman in her eyes anymore after she had informed him of what they had done in his and Jenessa's bed. They had made love while he was apparently drunk. Although he couldn't remember being drunk. Of course he did not remember having sex with her either yet she had been in his bed when he woke up. He didn't want to ask her and her young child to leave his house out of loyalty to her mother but it was getting difficult.......
" What do you mean you are pregnant? Is it your husband's baby? " He silently prayed that it was true. She was a married woman after all. Newly separated from her cheating husband. It was possible that Harvey Cooper had impregnated her before all had went wrong with them.
Sylvia laughed. " No. It's not his. Harvey got a snip snip after we had Katrina. The only one I recently slept with besides him was you, Nicholas. It's fine though. I can easily get a quickie divorce in Mexico and we can elope......"
Nicholas stood up and stared at her in astonishment. " What? No. I'm not marrying you. I barely know you. And I have no real proof of you being pregnant. I don't even remember sleeping with you ! "
Sylvia smiled coldly. " You mean when you got me drunk and took advantage of me? Your own step daughter who is still in mourning for her mother, your wife , and the victim of infidelity by her cheating husband. If I was you I'd play by my rules because I will tell everyone. My family. Your family. The media. Your wonderful image would take a fall from glory if they found out exactly what you are and what you did to me. "
Nicholas stepped closer to her. His heart was beating faster than ever. His head was starting to throb. " I didn't do anything to you. I'm not marrying you. You're insane. In fact.... I was trying to be fair because of your mother but I don't want you here anymore. I want you and Katrina to leave my house. Now. "
Sylvia smirked at him. " So you are just tossing out your pregnant stepdaughter who you forced yourself on while drunk ? Like I said the media will love this. You have twenty four hours to arrange my trip to Mexico and our elopement. Or I will destroy you. "
