I stepped into my office and my phone immediately started to ring. I came straight here from the airport , I'm jet lagged and tired , but the work doesn't stop.
" Delaney didn't your flight just land what are you doing here ?"
" Mercedes I have so much work to do I can't afford another day out of the office. How was the buyers meeting yesterday ?"
" We did excellent the agreed on buying and selling every item in the line."
That was music to my ears , I was hoping that Cedes could hold it down while I was gone and she did. Reasons like this showed me why I chose her to help me run my empire.
" Omg Cedes thank you! Remind me to buy you a drink and give you a raise. I am going to be in my office hold all of my calls unless it's my husband or my family."
She smiled nodded her head and went back to her desk. I walked into my office and threw my bag on my sofa. I sat down at my desk and looked through my mail. A bunch of designers trying to join my team sending me portfolio shots, bills , advertisements. I started to throw everything away and then something caught my eye they were papers from the court. They had my work address on them but were addressed to Odell which is weird. He's my husband so his mail is our mail. I opened the envelope and pulled out the documents , I read over them and couldn't believe my eyes.
He was being served papers to prove paternity , but that's not the best part the bitch serving him is the same bitch that was in the media supposedly pregnant by a baseball player. She's taken it to far , now me and her have a problem. I folded the papers , and grabbed my bags.
" Mercedes I'll be back in a couple hours , if I'm not call me."
" What's wrong Delaney ?"
" I can't talk now I have to go."
I rushed out of my office and to my car , the media was everywhere which means the news has gotten out.
" Delaney how do you feel knowing Odell got someone else pregnant while you are carrying his child ?"
" Delaney is it true that you and Odell are getting a divorce because of the new love child."
FUCK FUCK FUCK , my security guard blocked the cameras and paparazzi allowing me to safely exit to my car. I got inside of my car and the first thing I did was take a deep breath. I can't deal with this right now, this was the part of the limelight that I hated.
When I pulled up to the house the paparazzi had swarmed the outside of our gate. Security was holding them back best they could the gates opened allowing me into the house and closed immediately once my car was in the driveway. I grabbed my stuff and calmly walked into my house holding my head high.
" Odell !"
" Delaney don't yell Bailey is sleeping. I finally got her to sleep."
" I'm sorry Jenny where is my husband ?"
" He's in the office hasn't been out since you all came home. Media won't leave the lawn I can't concentrate all this noise outside."
" I'm so sorry Ms. Jenny please feel free to take the rest of the day off."
" And leave the 3 of you to fend for yourself I will not. I'll just politely ask them to leave."
I laughed at Ms. Jenny and walked into the office. Odell was on the phone yelling at someone about taking the story down. I closed the door behind me and sat down on the desk , once he noticed me he hung up the phone.
" Delaney baby I swear to you." I held my hand up to his mouth . He didn't need to explain anything to me I already knew.
" Dell I already know. You don't need to explain anything to me . I just want to know why she's targeting you, what's her motive ? Does she want money what is it ?"
" I don't know. I made it clear she wasn't to bother me or you anymore or she'd be out of a job. Then she turns around and pulls this shit. Someone needs to tell me something."
I couldn't stress about this not during my pregnancy. I needed to go straight to the source. Something inside me tells me that right now isn't the best time to do that. If Odell does it the media will have a field day.
" Have you tried calling Yara ? Maybe see what's going on in her head."
" Baby I don't even want her to think I care enough to know what's going on in that delusional ass brain of hers."
" I know . But maybe if we give her what she wants we can find out the motive behind the madness."
" It can't be money , because when I took the paternity test and it came back negative she would just look like another hoe who doesn't know who her baby daddy is."
" We know that , she doesn't. She thinks that this is gonna break us up, that's why she had the papers sent to my office and the house. She knew exactly what she was doing. But we are one step ahead of her , she's playing games with the wrong people."
Odell picked up his phone to call Yara, I sat down in the chair and checked on the headlines. I probably shouldn't have because they are going to piss me off with the lies.
" Well hello baby daddy I've been waiting for your call. Your flight landed hours ago I thought I'd hear from you sooner."
Hearing her voice made me want to jump through the phone and beat her ass, but I kept my cool and kept quiet.
" Yara stop , tell me what you want ? Why you trying to ruin my life ?"
" Oh Dellie , all I want is You. Me , you , and our beautiful little baby we are going to be one happy little family."
" Yara you know that baby isn't mine ! What are you doing ?"
" Isn't it ? You don't remember our one night together ? That's all it takes Odell remember ! Just one night."
She laughed and hung up the phone. What the fuck did she mean all it takes is one night ? Odell told me he only kissed her that night , but she sounded so sure when she said it.
" Delaney I see that look in your eye you have my word I NEVER laid a finger on that girl never. I don't know what's wrong with her but that baby isn't mine."
" Okay well tomorrow we are going to the court house to prove it. And I'm gonna sue that little bitch for defamation of character. She's lucky I'm pregnant other wise I'd drag her little ass."
I walked out of the office and slammed the door. I trusted him , and my husband senses weren't tingling so I knew he was telling the truth , but why do I feel like this bitch has some elaborate scheme planned to ruin everything I've worked so hard for.
