“So, did you find anything on Kyra’s phone?” Anna inquired from Lily, a smile on her face at Kyra’s reaction. She had been hiding behind a wall when she left Kyra’s room and her reaction was gold.
Lily shook her head, a fallen look on her face as she let out a sigh. “We’re back to square one. Now that we’re more or less through with Renee, we can only hope whatever we find out about her is enough to cause problems that’ll lead to more secrets being leaked.”
“Yeah, I hope so too,” Anna sighed, stretching her limbs. “Damn! I’m tired,” she moaned, falling to
the bed.
Lily joined her, laughing as she did. “It’s still so early in the morning and you’re already saying you’re tired?” she chuckled. “How lazy are you?” she joked, and Anna hit her jokingly.
“Anyway, I was thinking of getting a job apart from this one,” she sighed.
Lily sat up in bed with urgency, “A job? What for?” she questioned with confusion. “The contract with Davis is paying you so much so why would you need another job?”
I mean, even when you guys are through with your plans and bring the Monroes down, all the money he gives you will be more than enough to keep you going,” she added.
“Till when?” Anna sighed. “And besides, I want to make my money; I can’t keep relying on other people’s money, you know. Plus, these people go out as well so it’ll just be me at home doing nothing.”
“You couldn’t always go through their rooms” Lily shrugged.
“Nah, it’s too risky. Besides, I can only take that risk if there’s something in particular I want to find, not when I’m just looking for whatever will implicate them.”
“Fine, what do you want to do?” Lily asked.
Anna shut her eyes, “For now, I don’t know. But I’ll eventually figure it out.”
“If you say so,” Lily shrugged. “Speaking of which, did you watch the new episode of Liar Liar? Lady Kim turned out to be the culprit.”
Anna immediately sat up in bed, “No way.
“Yes, way. She…”

Renee adjusted her sun shades and put on her nose mask as she left her car. She hurriedly made her way into the hospital, trying to make sure she wasn’t spotted by anyone.
“You’re right on time, Renee,” The doctor said with a smile as she entered his office and took off her guise. “I don’t know why you keep hiding your face,” he said.
“And why wouldn’t 1, Tommy? You expect a model as popular and loved as I am not to get crowded if

I’m seen in public?” She raised a brow as she sat down in the seat and took off her jacket, leaving her
in only her tank top.
“I told you to stop calling me Tommy, you know that’s not my name,” Tommy said with a frown as he stood from his seat and made his way to the cabinet.
She rolled her eyes, “Since when have I ever listened to you?” she scoffed. “Just give me the pills and
I’ll be out of here.”
He retrieved a bottle of contraceptives and sat on the table, next to her. “If you’re so against getting pregnant, why did you tell the media you’re pregnant?” he asked curiously.
“I don’t need to tell you that,” she snapped and tried to grab the pills, but he held her hand, clicking his tongue disapprovingly.
“No answer, no pills,” he smirked.
“But I pay you so give it to me, asshole,” she said, breaking away from his grip.
He shrugged, “I still want to know,” he said with a boyish smile. “I mean, telling that to the media will only put their eyes on you so how are you going to answer their questions when after a month, we still ain’t seeing any bump?”
“Isn’t there a rare condition that makes a lady’s pregnancy grow inwards so no one would know she’s pregnant until she gives birth? I’ll just say I have it,” she shrugged.
“I see you did your research, but that’s risky and I’d advise you not to use that excuse because, as you said, it’s rare and if you claim you have it, trust me, people will find out,” he told her.
“Whatever, I’ll sort myself out,” she told him. “Now, the pills.”
“Can’t you just tell me?” he pouted.
A smile made its way to her face and she sighed in defeat, “Fine. It wasn’t my plan to tell the media or anyone, after all, it’d cause a pause in my career, the main reason I don’t want to get pregnant,
“she let out a groan of frustration before she continued. “But Daniel had to tell them.”
“Right, he doesn’t know. Why don’t you just tell him you don’t want a child yet?” he questioned. “I mean, with how you say he adores you, he’d understand you.”
“It was necessary,” she said, looking away and he got the message that she didn’t want to say anything further.
If not for the pregnancy, Anna would still be his wife.
“Alright then, here’s your pills,” he got off the table and raised it high above his head. “Take it,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he made his way to the door.
“What are you doing?” she questioned as she got up and lunged for the pills.
He grabbed her arm and pinned her against the door, locked it and then dropped the key in his pants. “Tommy, stop this. Last time was a mistake,” she said, her chest heaving up and down as his eyes

raked over her body.
He planted a kiss on her neck, biting and sucking on it. “Phil,” she moaned. “That’s enough. I have to go home. ”
He pulled away from her. “Don’t worry, we’re not doing anything today,” he smirked as he walked back to his desk and sat on the table. “But you’ll have to get the key yourself if you want to leave and be gentle else you know what will happen.”
“For fuck’s sake!” she muttered under her breath. “These are the disadvantages of getting help from your stupid ex,” she said as she walked towards him.
He smirked as she got closer to him. “Good girl,” he chuckled.
“Don’t you have other patients?” she asked as she stood in front of him. “Let’s just do this another time, please,” she pleaded knowing fully well she wouldn’t get out of having sex with him if she took the key herself.
He thought about it for a while and sighed. “Fine,” he said before pressing her against his body and taking her lips in his. She wrapped her arms around his neck, biting on his lower lips.
He pulled away and handed her the pills. “And here’s the key,” he said with a sly grin as he brought it out of his pocket.
Her pues u
in shock. “You sly thing.”
“You don’t expect me to put this amount of keys in my pants, do you?” he chuckled.
“You’re such an asshole,” she said, taking her jacket and wearing her guise.
