Chapter 7:

Louis[POV]

While in the office, I read through files and contact I had signed with some major top hands in the business world.

Meanwhile I kept my men on alert for any possible updated events. My enemy seem calmer but still on the look out for me. My past had shaped me into becoming who I am today. Spent most of my years learning how to defend myself from them. I grow with power and authority to control people, they fall in line to my every command and play by my rules.

About a months ago, Penelope started acting up, I decided to make deep inquire about things I didn't have time to look into during the interview.

I had made the selection in a hurry now I am in deep regret, I didn't properly verify her character for any loopholes.

Her agency cover up most of her secrets and made it hard to detect, I recently discovered that she was leaked to a serious attempted murder case about six months ago. Based on my finding Penelope had a crush on a movie director but her feelings were not reciprocated. Instead he fall for her Assistant when she discovered they were in a relationship, she fired the girl instantly.

A week later, she was found raped and beaten almost to death in a dump site. Such an important detail about her past was hidden away from me. Her agency had made all evidence of her brutality disappear in thin air as she hid on the low for a particular period of time. Getting married to me would give her a massive break comeback in both wealthy and power.

Something tells me this was not the first time such an incident had taken place. I struck my glass office table so hard wishing I could change the hands of time. I just hope my son doesn't get any of her bad blood since the DNA was from both of us. I hope he doesn't inherit her psychopathic traits and inhumane behavior.

Frankly I was disappointed with myself for endangering the future of unborn child's this would be link to his birth once the media get to know of our engagement. My son would be in my full custody when he is born and now I need to watch her closely.

Its been two months since Penelope had the baby implant inside her. I plan on going with her to the clinic to confirm if it really worked. We had gone through the first stage already, once her pregnancy is confirmed I would engage her, then prepare for our wedding.

"Please ma!, you can't go inside " My secretary voiced threaded on till she reached my office with Penelope who was now entered with much confident then the last time she was here. she had blossom in her true form.

"Sorry your highness, she rushed pass me without booking an appointment "

My secretary apologized while arranging the disorganized approach of my fiancee to be.

" Shut up! You filthy thing, do you have any idea who I am?. "

Penelope said discourteously as she rudely bashed my secretary.

Her boorish behavior was not surprising based on what I found out about her.

She eyed my secretary spitefully

"I don't like her!! " She announced. I raised my eyebrow at her sudden outburst with foreseen arrogance.

" Let her be!, Dorothy you can leave now!. "

I instructed as I waved my hand to discharge my secretary.

I can deal with her.

" You have no authority neither position in my office, be sure to remember your place and act right. You are just an ordinary basket carrying a golden egg. "

She tired concealing her dissatisfaction over her disposable position.

" oh Louis! ,

She cried

" Do not be so rigid after all I am carrying your child " She rubbed her belle softly.

" What's the problem," I asked not paying her much attention.

Back in her famous posture she walked towards me.

" I sent you an email, remember we plan on seeing the doctor. " she announced with a smile.

When her smile don't seem to walk on me she walked back to sit on my office sofa.

"When I'm ready to leave, I will send for you", discharging her.

I ordering her out of my office.

" Louis...., why not join me let's leave together. "

She kept stalling time, trying to persuade me to join her play couple.

I answered her with a look then she puffed out of my office.

Clearly she had knowledge of my unwillingness to act like a couple with her.

Her pretentious characters are excellent, I had no time to watch her in her performance .

Out of my office, she barked orders at my defenseless secretary in a voice that could pull down the whole building before leaving my company.

I did nothing cause I have to make people believe we're dating at this point before we announce our engagement.

"******

The doctor came out with the test result, he had been in hesitance he read through the result.

"Your highness, according to this report Miss Penelope is not pregnant." he said

"What do you mean, am not pregnant."

She erupted in a voice that was starting to give me headache. she really needs to control her voice .

"According to the test results, you're not pregnant,"

The doctor answered her.

"Prince Louis informed me of the insemination done in New York maybe, there you would be given a better explanation why it turned out this way."he stated

I pray hopefully its truth, it could give me better opportunity to get another option.

The conversation dragged me down to New York. I didn't bother bring Penelope along mainly cause I wasn't ready for her outrage and frustrating attitude.

In New York, I found out about the whole mix up in the lab before the sperm implantation.

This people were so getting it from me... I had my men deal with some of their top doctor. Dr Shin who was in charge of Penelope sperm implant, the old man was a little to jumpy when I arrived, scared to his bones.

The mistake was done when my delivered sperm was been given another tag and sent to another patient. The truth be told, even if I was furious I felt a great sense of relief that this mistake has destroyed any chance of Penelope having my child. If her secret gets to my stepmother, it would caused havoc in the royal council. Then again I only have my self to blame.

Knowing how influential I was the head doctor tried to offer me a better solution.

He stated the the lady who had my child was unmarried, suggesting we work our way around the situation. At that moment I wasn't ready to deal with him which I would do much later when I find out who the heck has my child in her womb.

"""""""***"""""""

I sat down

Patiently to wait for the mysterious lady to arrive.When she entered she was looking devastated as if her life is been taken away from her. I took time to study her she was looking so familiar, I couldn't figure out the place we've met. She was incredibly beautiful, so sophisticated looking and my own kind of woman. The scent of her perfume reminds me of violet mixed with white hibiscus, its floral scent captivated my attention, surely she knows how to make a statement. I felt irritated by the new feeling she had entrapped me in, suddenly a taught flood my mind. What if she had everything all planned out.

When she spoke her voice was a bit rusty but yet enchanting as if I was been wrapped under a spell. She begin to express how worried she had been. I realized she didn't take notice that I was seated there. when Doctor shin introduced us, she still paid me no attention, I was very pissed off.

Women craved for my attention, she should be happy to be in my presence. When she finally took noticed of me. Then she called me a sperm donor!

Do this woman have any idea who I was?.

She completely ignored me till the doctor give us time to talk.

She looked displeased by his suggest and turned towards me.

She turned surprised when she noticed me.

I smirked

Who wouldn't

I give her my best controlling and intimidating look, like I did the others but to my own surprise she seemed less interested .

Well I still have time to watch out how everything play out.

She reminded me of someone I can't place my fingers on, I felt a strong urge to protect her as she wrap her hand around her belle.

"I am not give out my baby, I have much right to him as you do. "

she bluntly said

I laughed cause she don't know with whom she was getting herself mixed up with no matter how attractive she might look right now, I wouldn't give her the power to mess with my mind.
