Chapter 39 

Megan. 

1 stare at ceiling, unable to sleep despite the nurse’s numerous reminders telling me i because I lost a lot of blood, but because I’m….. 

“Damn it!” I’m pregnant. 

How did this happen? I’m on birth control. Did I miss day? 

Argh! 

that I should get some rest. Not only 

My income 

Pregnancy is definitely not in my plans. Not now, and I’m not even sure I want kids in depends on how perfect my figure is 

the future. I’m a modell My inc 

I am working hard to be Kayden Steele’s trophy wife. Only a supermodel like me will be fit for a tycoon like him. I always thought we’d be a perfect couple. But I never imagined that I’d be pregnant before I can get him to pop the question. And once we were married, I wanted to suggest the possibility of surrogacy to him. There is no way I would let pregnancy ruin 

I have been waiting months, maybe even years, I thought he’d immediately ask me to marry him once his divorce with Cassie is finalized. But after that fire, he had changed completely. When his divorce was finalized, he buried himself in work. He practically lived in that office of his. If I didn’t know any better. I would think that he was heartbroken because of his divorce. But I know that he hated Cassie because he thought she had blackmailed him into marrying him. But I knew that Cassie had nothing to do with it. She was drugged and carried to Kayden’s room. And then the next day, the paparazzi were paid to make it a full-blown scandal. Then my father saw an opportunity he couldn’t resist. 

But now… Kayden knows that I lied about saving him years ago. How did he find out? Did Cassie tell him? Cassie was just a hopeless busybody, and she worked as a part-time lifeguard in high school. She must have saved dozen other boys after that. He even gave her a ring as a thank you. I only saw that ring on her once. A simple silver band. My mother got me something similar just in case Kayden asks. 

I touch my tummy. I cringe at the thought that something is growing inside me. I had been so careful. I look back at the days that I spent with Kayden. 

“When did it happen? 

Could it be that night we both got home drunk from a gala? I woke up that day in Kayden’s bed. Kayden is still wearing his pants with his zipper undone and his belt unbuckled. I was still in my cocktail dress, but my panties were missing. 

I have no recollection of what happened that night. But it was the only time in years that Kayden allowed me inside his bedroom 

“A few months ago. 

When I woke up, Kayden was sitting at the edge of the bed, elbows over his knees and both his hands were holding his head, as if he is having the most terrible headache. 

Kayden” I asked 

He looked up at me and for a moment, I thought I saw tears peering from his eyes. 

“Are you okay, darling

Chapter 39 

I crawled on the bed towards him, trying my best to look seductive. I have always thought I’ve mastered the art of seduction. But somehow, it’s yet to work on Kayden. Funny because I have always thought him to be a passionate man. Perhaps Cassie was kidding me when she said that Kayden fucked her. If I found it hard to get Kayden in bed, then how could she? 

Kayden immediately stood up from the bed. “I’m… I’m okay,” he said. “I just have a bad headache. Could you go? I need to be in the office in an hour.” 

“Don’t you take a break? It’s the weekend. Can you take me shopping?” 

“I’ll tell my secretary to give you a credit card. You go shopping. It’s on me.” 

1 feigned a pout. “Last night, you were so hot! You couldn’t get your hands off me!” 

That was a lie. I have no recollection of what happened last night. So, I wasn’t sure if it was hot or not. If we had a long foreplay or just a quickie. But what’s important is I woke up, and my thongs were missing. Who else would take it off? Besides, I felt sore and wet down there. It did feel like I did have sex last night. Rough and unprotected. 

“Well, really?” he asked, narrowing his eyes. 

“Don’t tell me you can’t remember?” I pretended to get mad. 

“No, of course not.” The way his face contorted told me that he was lying too. He had no idea what happened between us last night 

And since he couldn’t remember, I should use this to my advantage. 

“You told me you loved me, and you want to spend the rest of your life with me.” I beamed. “You said that if you had a ring, you’d propose to me already.” 

His eyes widened. “Really? I said… I said that?” 

“Yes, you did! So? Shouldn’t we be shopping for a ring?” 

He scratched the back of his head, looking uneasy. “Ummm… today is not a good time.” 

“Come on, Kayden! After all that you did to me last night? You were so kinky, you shredded my underwear to pieces. darling!” Again, that was a lie. I had no idea where my underwear was. “You should be ashamed of yourself if you weren’t planning to make an honest woman out of me after last night.” 

“I already promised I would marry you after you saved me many years ago, remember?” he said with a frown. “I’m just really busy today. My secretary will take care of you.” 

Then he went into the bathroom without another word. 

I grabbed the next thing I could find and threw it at the door. 

“Damn you!” I shouted. Then I went out of bed to gather my clothes. But no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find one thing. “Where is my damn underwear?” 

“Present time. 

That could be the only night I could have gotten pregnant. So, even if we both couldn’t remember, something really did happen between Kayden and me last night. And the proof of that is growing inside me right now. 

The door opens and a familiar figure walks into the room

Chapter 39. 

“What the hell are you doing here?” I ask. 

“Checking 

up on you, of course!” Myron replies, “I heard you tried to kill yourself. Are you stupid?” 

It surprises me to see that Myron can lose control. Since I met him, I can never tell what he is thinking. He’s like a jester. He says one thing, and it’s impossible to read his face. No wonder he makes a lot o money gambling. He’s a master of the poker face. But now, I can tell that he’s really concerned and angry that I tried to kill myself. 

“I’m not stupid!” 

“Then why would you try to kill yourself just because that dumbass dumped you?” 

“I didn’t try to kill myself! It was an accident. 

“So, you accidentally happened to hold a razor in the tub, and then what? You slipped and slit yourself? Because that does not make sense to me!” 

“Okay fine! I tried to wound myself. Just to scare Kayden off. Maybe if he saw me wounded, he’d feel bad about it, and he’d come back to me 

“Oh my god! And you said you weren’t stup Myron rolled his eyes. 

“If you have nothing else to say, can you just leave?” I snapped at him. “Anyway, you are nothing but useless!” 

“Oh, come on. There are many things you would never have accomplished if it weren’t for me.” 

“Like what?” I raised a brow haughtily. “From the moment we first met, everything that we planned together have proven to be a disaster! First, we planned to set up Cassie and make her look like a slut, so my father would hate her. And what happened? I thought you were going to set her up with your father or some dirty old man! You didn’t tell me that you were going to send her to Kayden’s room!” 

you know “I told you I’m going to send her to a room and cause a scandal. I did just that! How am I supposed to know that Kayden? Or that you were obsessed with him? And how am I supposed to predict that your stepfather is an opportunist. That he would take that opportunity to blackmail Kayden into marrying your stepsister.” 

“And then now? When I told you to get rid of Cassie, why’d you do it while Kayden was with her?” 

He frowns. “I had no idea that Kayden will be with her. And besides, you know that if I got rid of Kayden, it would work out. best for me. I just might inherit Steele Corp., since Kayden doesn’t have an heir just yet. I’m his closest living relative.” 

Heir? Immediately, my hand goes to my tummy.” 

He’s right! I’m carrying Kayden’s heir right now! 

And because of this, he will never be able to get rid of me! 

“Thank God! 

Suddenly, I am filled with renewed hope. It doesn’t matter if Kayden doesn’t love me. As long as I get to keep him. The Steeles value their first-born son very much. Oh, I just hope this baby will be a boy! And I have just cemented my position in Kayden’s life. 

“What are you smiling dreamily abour?” Myron asks, his face full of annoyance. 

“Nothing” 1 give my tummy a scratch. I don’t notice that Myron is watching me.
