Chapter 2 Who's pregnant

Layla sat on the bed and sighed, ruefully. She rubbed her forehead in sheer distress.

Things are not working out as she and Alex planned. Zack doesn't seem like he's gonna fall for her even decades from now.

She has to do something real quick .. something that will bring her and Zack closer that will make him eventually fall deeply in love with her.

"Zack .. thanks for coming over. I'm sure you've got better things to do "Kira stated and Zack chuckled.

"It's alright, you don't have to thank me "Zack examined her for sometime.

"Why are you staring at me? "

"I don't know but you've grown a little fat "he responded and her countenance changed.

"Yeah. About that .. l have something to tell you "Kira said, sounding nervous as she played with her fingers.

"What is that? "

"About a month ago, what happened between .. "

"Kira, l thought we were done with this conversation already. I know you won't be able to forget it but things happens at times. Things we do not wish for "

"I know. We drank to stupor, got tipsy and had sex .. yeah, it's cool. I understand it wasn't our intention to do that but something happened "She explained and Zack paused for a moment.

"Don't tell me you are pregnant "Zack stated with wide eyes. "Don't tell me you got pregnant, Kira "

Kiara hesitated before nodding.

"I'm pregnant, Zack. I'm carrying your child "

"Shit! "Zack yelled and hit the table. He hit his head on the table.

"Zack! Why are you being so hard on yourself, huh? It's not a big deal "She screamed and he spranged up.

"Well, it is a big deal. I've got a pregnant wife at home currently .. well, we are not married yet tho but two pregnant wives, how do l manage? Yes, l can take care of you two but how will my parents react? I'm a prince, don't you get it? "

"It's alright, my prince. I know your parents are gonna shout at you and all sort of things but l'm sure you are going to handle it and about the other pregnant girl, i don't have any problem with that "She responded, calmly.

She was terribly hurt tho, she loves Zack and thought that the baby would be an opportunity to get closer to him but another pregnant lady .. it's sure not going to work out and who knows, he might love her.

Zack was quiet for some moments with his head facing downwards. How is he going to cope with two pregnant ladies .. atleat, Kira is cool but Layla, she's an animal!

"Zack, are you okay? You've been like this for some time now .. you okay? "Kira asked, staring at dejected Zack.

"Are you seriously asking me that question? I've got two pregnant ladies who will be living under the same roof with me and you expect me to be okay? "He groused and Kia sighed, ruefully.

"I'm sorry yoi have to go through all this .. it was never my intention "

"It's alright. I'm coming to pick you tomorrow .. make sure you pack up your stuffs before l arrive here "

"What time? "

"5pm "

"Alright "

"I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow "He stated and took his car keys from the table.

"Let me see .. "Kira was saying but Zack interrupted her.

"There's no need for that .. l know my way around here "He said, abruptly and Kira hesitated before nodding.

"Alright. Bye "She said as she watched Zack walk away.

Suddenly, she felt the urge to puke and ran inside to empty her tummy in the toilet.

"Your highness "Sky, one of the numerous maids in the palace said as she entered the princess's room, bowing slightly.

"Sky! "The princess answered, blooming with happiness.

"Princess Camilla, your father has asked to see you in his room. He said it's urgent "The maid spoke up.

"Urgent? Did something bad happen? "Camilla responded and Sky shrugged, clueless.

"Nothing bad is going on currently, he just asked to see you urgently "

"Alright then. Let's go "

She stood up and exited her room, heading for her Dad's room.

Actually, Camilla was going to get married to Zack in two weeks from now. The fathers of Zack and Camilla were good friends and wanted to strengthen by getting their children married to each other.

Camilla was in support of it cos she always had eyes for Zack but Zack was totally against the idea cos he never for once felt any love towards Camilla.

And now, her father got the news of Zack impregnating a lady and that their wedding has been called off. She can't get married to Zack.

It'll break her heart to pieces but he still has to tell her. He has no choice and it's not gonna sound good hearing it from a stranger's lips other than her Dad's.

"Father, you sent for me "Camilla stated as she walked into his room.

"Yes, l did "he nodded. "Sit "he said, afterwards and she did.

"Leave us "He said to the maid and she bowed before walking away.

"Dad, is something bad happen? You look stressed "Camilla said, sounding worried.

"Yes, something bad happened "

"What is that? "

"You can't marry Zack, Camilla "He said and Camilla spranged up.

"No way, Dad. I'm going to marry Zack and that's it! "She yelled, blatantly and her Dad sighed.

"I'm not against your marriage, it's just that Zack has impregnated a lady and news is going round that he has impregnated another lady, he raped his maid and she's still unconscious "

"Then l'd .. wait, what? He im..pregnated another lady? "She stammered, dumbstruck.

She was numb for some moments as she slowly sat down. She palmed her face, sobbing in her hands.

"I'm so sorry, my daughter. It's all Zack's fault .. l never knew he was this wayward "Her Dad grouched.

"But .. but I loved him, Dad! "

"I know, my daughter but you know, some things are just not met to be. Maybe it wasn't your fate to get allied with him "He said, trying to console her and she sniffed.

She wiped her tears with her hands and smiled, faintly.

"It's alright, Dad. I'm fine, just give me some days and l'm going to forget about him "

"Are you sure? "He asked, concerned and she nodded.

"I'm going to my room now. See you later, Dad "

As she got to her room, she slumped on the bed and bursted into hot tears again.

She wasn't okay .. how could Zack do this to her?

She was looking forward to a happy married life with him, even if he doesn't love but eventually, he will.

Oh jeez, it won't be easy to get this from him.

"Is she okay now? "The queen asked, staring at Amy as she slept soundly.

"Yes, she woke up last night and l gave her some herbs to ease the pain, she's sleeping now "The physician replied and she smiled.

"Finally! Thank God! "She said with a deep breath.

Amy is responding and she was thankful for that.

"But there's something l need to discuss with you, your highness "The physician, Helga whispered.

"I'm all ears "

"Let's speak outside "She said, staring at Amy. They went outside.

"So what happened? "

She looked around to make sure no one was around, eavesdropping and checked on Amy.

"Why are you acting horrid? What's the problem? "

"My queen, l'm not certain yet but l think Amy is pregnant "Helga whispered and the queen laughed.

"Pregnant? That's crazy. Amy can't be pregnant .. you are not certain, right? "

"She is, your highness "

"She's not! Don't you understand? There's a lady currently pregnant for Zack! "The queen yelled, breathing heavily.

"Please calm down, my queen. You have to calm down. Come and have a sit "Helga said and took her highness's hand.

She sat down and her highness tried to calm down.

"Are you she's pregnant? "

"Yes. Very much pregnant, l just need to do conduct a pregnancy test to prove it "

"Pregnant? Who's pregnant? "Amy spoke up as the queen and Helga stared at her, horrified.
