Cayenne’s threat finally worked.

Kelly told her the truth and even asked to spare the man from her wrath. She can finally see him reach his dreams. She didn’t want them to ruin him.

As for Cayenne, she didn’t know if she should scold this woman for being stupid or pity her for going through so much in the name of love. She even sacrificed herself just to make sure that the man she cares so much for will have a foothold in the business world.

After hearing the truth, even though it was something he shouldn’t feel, Stefan felt relieved that the baby wasn’t his. It feels like a thorn has been lifted off of his chest and he could finally breathe properly once again. He didn’t even realize that he was holding his breath until he felt his chest hurt.

Cayenne sat down and gently pat the woman’s head. It was so unexpected that the woman burst into tears. “It must have been hard on you.”

“I really want that child. I wanted to have a child with him. Every day, I always fear that he would know the truth about the baby. I am afraid that he would blame me or deny the baby. I am sorry.”

.....

The fact was, Stefan, got himself into an issue that has really nothing to do with him because of his carelessness and stupidity.

Kelly and Stefan met when she was already a few weeks pregnant. Tyrone who was her boyfriend at that time told her about the business that he wants with Stefan. He didn’t really tell her that she has to chase Stefan and become his woman. It was her idea. He didn’t even know that she was pregnant at that time because she was busy seducing Stefan. Initially, she planned to get close to him and do some pillow talk.

When she successfully baited him, she drugged Stefan and whispered words suggesting sex and the things that lovers do on a night of passion. In reality, nothing really happened between them. Every time that they met, she would do the same thing and Stefan didn’t really suspect it. She never thought that the drugs she obtained would work wonders. This lasted for almost two months. While Stefan had flings everywhere, he would always find time to be with her because he felt responsible for taking her virginity.

During the times that he spent with Stefan, she stopped seeing Tyrone make sure that her plan won’t fail. With all the things that weighed on her mind, she ended up having a miscarriage. She hadn’t had the time to tell Tyrone about their child and yet, the baby died in her womb. In her panic, she told Stefan about the child and told her that she wanted an abortion.

On the night she confessed about the baby and that she wasn’t prepared for it, she had a fight with Stefan. As someone who grew up being neglected, he didn’t want his child to suffer the same fate. Since Kelly, who will become the mother, didn’t like his child he could do nothing about it. He was left with no other choice. He cannot just get the baby out of her womb and raise it. She has to carry the child for nine months.

In the end, Stefan signed the abortion papers.

In fact, only Kelly and the doctor knew that the baby was already dead. What Stefan knew was that he allowed her to have an abortion. And worse, the baby wasn’t even his.

“How can we prove that Stefan isn’t the father of the child?” Elena asked for the most crucial information which everyone forgot to ask.

“I did a NIPP test before the baby died. I thought I would need it once I solve everything and gets back with my boyfriend. I don’t know why. I was just afraid that if he finds out I was with Mr. Dumrique and I tell him I am pregnant; he might push the child to someone else.”

“Clever,” Tristan commented but his expression of pity spoke something else.

Based on what she said, they could tell that the relationship was one-sided. The man named Tyrone must have known that his girlfriend would do anything to help him which prompted him to tell her about the business with Stefan. Since Stefan was known for being a playboy, he was certain that the man would take the bait of having an affair with beautiful Kelly Luna. In short, he was just using her.

And what was even sadder was the fact that Kelly seemed to be aware of this fact. If she wasn’t, why would she need proof of him being the father? It goes to show that the man didn’t love her as much as she does.

“Why do you still want to protect his reputation when he doesn’t feel genuine love towards you?” Stefan questioned after a long period of silence. “You are aware of his impending marriage with the city councilor’s daughter, right? The things you did for him amount to nothing.”

Kelly smiled but it was a smile of misery. You can see in her eyes that she still loves the man but there was also a little regret in the way she looks at Cayenne and Stefan. “He has paid me for all the things that I helped him with. Three years ago, my dad got involved in a traffic accident. He was in comatose for four months and because of that, we had to sell most of our properties just to pay for his expensive medical fees. Tyrone came and bought back our properties and paid the hellish amount of medical expenses. The next day, I received the news about his engagement and a letter that told me we should sever our ties. The money that he spent was kind of hush money for me.”

“And you still want to protect him?”

“It was my initiative to seduce Mr. Dumrique. He has nothing to do with this.”

Cayenne rolled her eyes and turned around to leave the woman on her own. She’s not a doctor and she knew that even doctors wouldn’t be able to cure this woman’s stupidity. “I’m tired.”

“Shall we go to the presidential suite? I have prepared some sweets for you. You can have it as late-night snacks.”

“Hmph! Just because I’ll have those sweets doesn’t mean this is over. We still have to settle things later.”

“Yes, wifey. I got your words loud and clear.”

“Your grin says something else.”

Cayenne and Stefan left the room without looking back as if they didn’t leave someone in a mess. They didn’t even tell her how things will turn out now that they know the truth.

“Do you think they’ll expose the truth?” Kelly asked Elena since they were the only women left in the room.

“I don’t know. I could never guess what was on the madam’s mind. What I’m assured of is that she will clear sir Stefan’s name no matter what.”

Kelly’s tears fell on the cold floor as she recalled the day when she had a miscarriage. She prayed so much on the way to the hospital but the baby still died. Her prayer wasn’t answered.

Now, she came to ask herself; did the baby give up because it knew already that his father wouldn’t like him or her?
