23 CONTRACEPTIVES AND TEARS
Rence was in the sitting room, watching SpongeBob Square Pants when Anna walked through the
front door.
She turned around, a scowl on her face when she saw it was them. “Oh, it’s you,” she rolled her eyes. and went back to watching the cartoon.
“I see you didn’t go to the party, which is odd considering I met your husband there,” Anna said in a mocking tone.
“What party? Daniel is with my father–in–law-“she emphasized ‘my‘ before continuing, “-at the
I don’t know the name, but it’s a party you couldn’t possibly be invited to. You’re not even in their industry.”
Anna crossed her arms together, a smirk on her face. “I don’t know what you’re talking about because my husband took me there to get me acquainted with his partners as his wife,” she scoffed when the smirk on Renee’s face dropped.
“And where’s your h-“Renee started to say.
Just then, Davis walked through the door. He had waited outside to take a call which was why he didn’t enter with her. “Sorry for the delay, treasure,” Davis said, trying not to cringe at the pet name he had given her, especially when he got it from Giovanni.
His eyes darkened when he remembered him.
Anna wrapped her arms around his neck, “Baby,” she cooed. “What took you so long?”
He brushed a strand of her hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” he said softly and lifted her off the ground, making her yelp in surprise as he walked up the stairs with her in a bridal style.
Renée watched them with fury in her eyes. “You wait till I lay my hands on him. He’ll never look at you again,” she muttered.
“You didn’t have to carry me,” Anna said, heat rushing to her face as she avoided his eyes. “And what was that? Treasure. You upped your acting in a short time.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” he said, his voice cold and distant as usual.
She let out a sigh of disappointment. She had hoped they would be closer after that night, but it seemed she was wrong. Now am I supposed to get him to speak to me about himself?
They were right in front of their room when they heard someone barge through the front door.” Seems like it’s about to go down,” Anna sald, a gleeful smile on her face. “Please put me down,” she said to Davis who obliged.
She tiptoed to the end of the hall, hiding behind the wall and peeping so she could see what was going on without them noticing her presence unless they came up to their floor.

‘Baby!” Renee chirped as she ran to Daniel, but Williams stepped in before she could get to Daniel and gave her a thunderous slap across her cheek, sending her to the ground in a daze.
“W–what…” she trailed off in confusion, tears pooling in her eyes as she looked from Daniel to his father.
Daniel looked away, hurt in his eyes. “Sheila!” he yelled and a maid came scurrying to the sitting
TOOM.
“You called for me, sir,” she said, her head bowed respectfully.
“Go to my room and bring me Renee’s bag,” Daniel instructed.
At the mention of her bag, Renee shot up from the floor. “Since when did you start checking my bag? What is this Daniel?” she yelled when he didn’t answer her bag.
Sheila was about to go when Renee yelled. “Don’t you dare move an inch!” She turned to Daniel.” Your father just hit me and rather than say anything, you’re asking her to bring my bag. What for?”
He couldn’t possibly have found out the truth.
“What are you waiting for, Sheila? Go get the bag!” Daniel yelled and she immediately ran up the
stairs to the room.
The shouts in the house brought Mary and Kyra out of their rooms. “Why the hell must y’all disturb my rest?”
Kyra complained, a frown on her face, but both Williams and Daniel ignored her.
“Honey,” Mary went to Williams who was almost breathing out flames. “what happened? Why do
look so mad?” she inquired.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Williams said, throwing a glare at Renee who had a pale look on her
face.
“Daniel, come on—“Renee started, walking toward Daniel.
“I swear if you touch me, you’ll experience something much worse than the slap my Dad gave you. So
up and let us find out who you really are,” he said.

Anna, who was still watching what was going on, dashed into her room and began undressing, not caring that Davis was in there as well.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he questioned, puzzled by her actions, especially when she began taking off her panties. He immediately looked away.
She raised a brow at him, “I can’t possibly join them down there looking like I haven’t been back from the party for a while now. They might suspect something,” she said as she cleaned off the make–up on her face and threw one of her nightgowns that wasn’t transparent.
She sucked on her lips as she ran her hand through her hair.
“Why does your hair need to be rough?” he questioned, genuinely puzzled. “And what are you doing to your lips?”

She raised a brow. “We were just having a hot time together,” she said. “Which is why I’m naked under this gown, have swollen lips, messy hair and I’m dripping with sweat. I think that’s all the necessary details.”
He wanted to ask more questions but decided against it.
She immediately shot out of the room and thankfully, Sheila was just going down the stairs with the bag. “I haven’t missed anything.”
She made her way down the stairs as fast as she could while trying to look calm. “What is all the ruckus about? My hu…” she trailed off as though she didn’t know what was happening. “What is going on?” She questioned looking from Daniel who had a frown on his face, to Kyra who was shocked, both reactions because of her appearance.
Williams ignored her and grabbed the bag from Sheila. Renee immediately lunged for the bag, but Williams pushed her to the ground and dumped the contents of the bag on the floor.
There was money, and her phone, but what caught their attention was the bottle of medication that rolled down to Anna’s feet. She picked it up and her eyes widened in shock. I hope that was believable.
“Contraceptives?” she said in disbelief, looking at Renee with a raised brow. “Why does a pregnant woman have a contraceptive in her bag?”
‘Because she’s not one and the entire world knows. I don’t even want to imagine the damage that has been done to our untainted image,” Williams yelled, running hand through his hair. He turned to Daniel, “You had better fix this,” he told him before storming off, with Mary running after him.
“It’s not true, I swear. It’s not-” Renee trailed off when she heard the recording playing. She turned to see Kyra glaring at her.
“This is your voice or am I wrong?” she questioned before turning around with a scoff. “Gold digger.”
“Sheila, you and everyone should go back to your rooms. And I don’t want to hear any gossip,” he turned to the trembling maid, “Am I clear?”
She nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“Renee, come with me. You need to calm down,” Daniel said softly, helping her up and carrying her bridal style as she buried her face in his clothes, soaking it with her tears and apologies.
“That was… Interesting,” she said as he left through the front door.
She walked into the kitchen. “Let’s celebrate,” she muttered as she grabbed a bottle of alcohol and uncorked it.
“Can I join you?” She turned around to see Daniel.
