He stood up to face the two adults who glanced at each other but were stunned. "Won't either of you say a thing?" he broke the silence between them. The doctor handed the result to him, and he instantly dropped it on the floor. "You can explain better than the result...." A cough. The doctor cleared his throat. "Well, the result says that she is pregnant-a week pregnant." *** What would you do when you realize your husband of three years has been cheating on you with his secretary, and no one knows you as his wife? Shannon, after sacrificing her all to help her husband build his wealth, found out she was being cheated on and wasn't known as Tony's wife. After being given a second chance to live, she decided to move on with her life and do weird things before she dies, thereby signing the divorce papers he offered. But, she stumbled on the one night stand stranger, Georgie, again, and was offered to be his surrogate. She came to know that they weren't supposed to meet at first...not only because Georgie and Tony were rivals, but the secret that would tear them apart was one she didn't anticipate. Georgie was her worst enemy ever...and her days on earth were numbered.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Shannon bent down and picked up the accessories that she had mistakenly spilt on the floor. "I'm sorry, please..." she apologised again, forcing a smile on. She was done purchasing and was about to leave when she stumbled on a gentleman dressed in a navy blue suit, standing immobile at a side.
She stretched her hand. "Nice meeting you. My name is Shannon..."
He gave her a hard-long look and averted his gaze, not ready to respond to anyone but his personal assistant that had gone into the mall to get some things ready.
After standing for seconds and being ignored by him, she decided to take her leave. He didn't spare her a glance, and she didn't bother saying a word to him any longer.
While she was still waiting for a cab to come by, a car drove past her and stopped. She stared to see what was going on, and to her surprise, a young man peeped through the window and went in again. "What's that for? He didn't accept my hand, and now he's peeping on me..." she hissed, pretending to not see anything. "I need to reach the company as quick as possible..." she muttered, waving the cab before her to stop.
"One Click Textiles Enterprise!" She said to the driver before stepping into the car. She imagined how Tony would react once she steps into his office with the surprise....and, what if he ends up kissing her before his employees?
Her face was covered with a silly smile as the car drove towards the side of the road. It parked before the gate, and Shannon stepped out. She dipped her hand into her purse, paid the driver off, and turned to face the gate. It was her first time setting her feet into her husband's company in three years of marriage.
It was Mr. Tony's birthday, and Shannon had saved a lot for this day to surprise her husband for the first time. She had been a housewife who barely stepped her feet out of the building and was tired of it.
Although it was ordered by her husband, Tony, she intends to convince him this time by getting the gift so he would permit her to get a job doing or work in his company.
"I am here to see my husband!" Shannon said to the security personnel standing before her, obstructing her way. She didn't expect anyone to come across her or try to hold her back because she was the wife of the CEO. "You heard me well..."
The young man shook his head. "I'm sorry, but you can't just see the CEO that way. I can redirect you to the manager, and through him, you will be able to see the CEO if it's something that he can't handle." he elaborated.
Shannon gulped. Her lips pouted.
"Between, you're not dressed like one of a higher status. You can't even see the manager dressed that way....yet you claim that the CEO is your husband," he added, taking a good look at her shabby dress.
She glanced at the package she was holding and then at the young man. "Take me to him first. You can throw me out if he denies that I'm not his wife. As for my dressing, that's how I prefer to dress-everyone mustn't know that I'm the CEO's wife."
"CEO's wife? Who gave you the title?"
Shannon turned behind to see a lady dressed in a brown suit with her hair weaving around. "I am the CEO's wife. Is that an issue?"
The lady smirked, coming closer. She pointed her fingers at Shannon's cheek and shook her head. "You are disrespecting Mr Tony. How can you refer to yourself as his wife when his wife is the secretary and everyone knows that? Do you fucking want to rust in jail....?"
Shannon couldn't believe his ears. Was that a prank? A test? Or what? How was her husband's secretary known as the wife instead of her?
She nibbled her bottom lip, raising her shoulders high. "I am the wife of CEO Tony, so bite your lips." she quaked the lady and hastened her steps towards the building, less concerned with what the lady and the security personnel were busy discussing about her.
As she stepped into the building, a lady approached her with a slight smile. "Hi!" she waved her hand at the lady, drawing the attention of the other ladies. "I am here to see Mr Tony. Could you direct me to his office?"
They glanced at each other, and then the lady before her bowed slightly. I'm sorry, Ma'am, but I can't take you to him with the way you look tattered. I can make a way for you to see the Manager instead."
Shannon scoffed. What sort of drama was that? Were they expecting her to wear some sort of clothes designed with golden pearls when Tony doesn't care about her at all? The only use she is to him is to get fucked on his bed and sees to it that he cums at least twice before leaving for her room.
She had lived with Tony for three years and is more valuable than a carpet. He doesn't look after her and keeps reminding her that their marriage was never his will and so he will have nothing to do with her.
One thing she didn't think about was that Tony would keep her hidden as his wife and present another woman, yet she always prayed and hoped that he would come to love her someday.
If someone else was taking her position as the wife, then it meant one thing-Tony had been cheating on her for a long time now....maybe, even before they got married.
"You must be the clerk-" Shannon said to the lady who gave a single nod. "Where is the Manager's office located?"
With a scoff, the clerk responded, "Just between the CEO and his wife, the secretary's office."
"This isn't a joke!" Shannon mumbled. 'No one knows me here as his wife-it's just that secretary. I wonder if they had a marital vow, or he's just displaying her instead of me since I am one local bitch like he always says.' she swallowed her saliva and turned to the clerk. "Take me to the Manager if you insist...."
The clerk nodded. "Follow me-"
They made use of the elevator which took them to the floor where they could find the three most special and important offices.
"I'll ring the doorbell for you...." the clerk uttered and walked to the Manager's doorpost.
Shannon saw that as an opportunity and dashed toward the CEO's doorpost instantly.
"What are you doing there?" came the loud voice of the clerk.
Before she could reach Shannon to hold her back, she whined the door handle, and luckily, it was unlocked.
"Don't get in-" the clerk screamed, but she dashed in and slammed the door behind the clerk.
As she lifted her face, with her chin raised a bit.....her eyes bulged at what was before her. The parcel she was holding slipped off her palm.
"Tony!!" she couldn't tell if her voice was heard, but she knew she had just mentioned her husband's name. "What....what...what are you....?"
"Why are you here?" Tony cut her short.
"Pardon me, Sir. I didn't know when she barged in..." the clerk pleaded from the doorpost.
Tony tried to reach out for his shirt on the table, but Haven, her secretary, didn't let him.
"You can leave, Clerk-" he managed to respond to the clerk and then placed back his palms on Haven's butt. "I was having a nice moment with my secretary only for you to disrupt it..."
Shannon sniffled. "So it's true. She's the one everyone thinks is your wife...."
"How do you expect me to present a thing like you as a wife? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" his voice came like an arrow that stabbed into her heart. "You can watch me fuck her if you won't leave....."
Tears welled up in her eyes. Not presenting her as a wife is a different thing from cheating with his secretary.
Her lips quivered. She regretted ever making up her mind to gift her husband. Her eyes fixated on them as they groaned pleasurably while their flesh slammed against each other. The way he penetrated his secretary was so different from the way he did to her. Their moans of relish filled the office, causing her heart to shatter more.
Haven turned to her, lips agape and her hands holding onto the table. She snorted, throwing mocking stares at Shannon-and then she bit her lips. "Oh, yes, baby..." she licked her lips. "I don't want to stop this....."
Tears dropped from Shannon's eyes. She couldn't believe that she had been sharing her husband with another woman and hadn't even tasted the sweeter side of him.
She wiped her cheek and picked up the parcel from the floor. She walked to the table and dropped it there, not minding what was going on before her. "I will be heading back home....."
Tony smirked. "It's fine if you can't stand me cheating on you. Just sign the divorce papers on the table in my room before I return and leave my house if you can't continue being a sex toy."
"Really!?" Shannon wiped her lips. "You want to divorce me? What of the company that I built with you?" her voice rose at each word.
