The door creaked and a dazzling man showed up wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist as drops of water fell from his hair down to his burly shoulders and went to his hard Abdomen.
Angelina bit her lip seeing Zach standing in front of her. His Stern eyes greeted her while She held the tray of Cookies he asked her to drop by.
" Honey" She was trilled off when she heard a soft voice that obviously came from a girl inside. " Sweetie, is the Snack we ordered already arrived?" She asked.
Angelina twitched in shock, A woman came out of nowhere wearing only a bathrobe, then seductively hugged him from behind. Her eyes drifted to Zach's hand, it crept on the woman's waist and then glanced at her.
Angelina knew her, She's the new rising Star in the film industry. She saw one of her interviews and the reporter asked her if she already had a boyfriend or a crush on showbiz yet she said she have none. But then when Zach's name was spoken out by the reporter, she was thrilled.
She could even remember how Lara told everyone that she didn't mind having a one-night-stand with Zach a CEO, more likely a Billionaire.
Lara Lucas also known as Lady L. That was her name. Many people Admired and wanted her, she's pretty and curvy. Angelina never imagine that was Zach's wants in a girl, no wonder they are always seen together.
Her head went down, She bit her lower lip as the excitement and agitation She had disappeared. Hence, Zach Sneered.
" What is she doing?" Lara whispered in his ears. Zach gave Angelina a disgusting look, like She was trash he would never look at. " She's My servant, forget about her existence" His voice becomes sweet when he's talking to her.
He gestured to her to give him the Cookies while giving her a Stern look. She handed it over to him and watched as he wrapped his hand around her waist and shun the door on her.
Just an hour ago, Angelina received a message from Zach to see him. She thought he had already changed his mind. She thought he remembered their one-night-stand and assumed he wanted to have dinner with her.
A stab pierced Her heart , it's painful and heartbreaking. She veered around and let the two enjoy the night even if her heart was crying due to heartbreak.
She thought after what happened to them on his birthday he would now consider her and Mary her. He would look at her like she was a flower he'd see amid cactuses around her.
Like She was sunshine in his dark and cold surrounding. Yet, turns out she was only assuming because of his mixed signals.
Tears started to roll down her eyes. She had boasted about having dinner with the Boss to her co-maids. She remembered one of them laughing at her to quit dreaming.
" Damn... I knew it!" She whispered silently whilst sitting down on the bench in the garden. She looked up at the sky as the stars trickled down her face. Her make-up was now ruined and she bet she became ugly because of it.
" How would I face them?" Was the only thing running through her mind. Angelina has longed for that moment and she thought her stars were already shining when she got a call from him.
" Angelina, what's wrong?" a soft hand tapped her on the shoulder. Angelina quickly cleaned the tears on her face and turned around faking a smile.
A young lady sat down on the bench holding Angelina's hand. She was wearing the type of dress Angelina was wearing. It was a short black gown with a white apron indicating they were maids in the billionaire's house.
" How did the Dinner went?" She asked Angelina. She didn't know the answer to give to the maid, Angelina wished that day had never came.
" Angelina, I'm talking to you" She tapped her on the shoulder. Angelina looked at her and faked a smile.
" It... It didn't go as I had thought" Fresh tears rolled down her face. " Aww girl, so sorry" She Sniffed and cleaned the tears on her face.
" I thought Zach was going to talk to me about that night. I thought he would tell me he is in love with me and... and" She covered her face with her palms.
" Come on Girl, I already told you that Zach won't have anything to do with you. It was an Accident that he slept with you that day. He wouldn't have if he knew it was you. A mere maid" She Scoffed.
" I know I'm just a maid here, his servant. But can't he at least sees the love I have for him? I've been showing it to him ever since I came here. I thought after that night, everything would change" She sobbed.
" Didn't I told you to quit dreaming? That night, I warned you not to go to his room but you turned deaf ears to my words and went there. Can you now see the result? He slept with you for nothing"
" Stop saying that, Nicky." Angelina snapped at her. " What if Zach loves me? What if he's doing all this because of his girlfriend?" She stood up.
" You know what? I'm tired of all this. The only words Coming out from your mouths is, Zach won't Marry you. Zach won't even fall in love with you" She sighed Angrily.
" Chill girl, Chill. It's the truth. You are not the first person to have a crush on Zach. Many maids left this house because of that. I once had a crush on him too but now I know better." Nicky stood up from he bench.
" My words for you again, Angelina. Stay out of this, you are only hurting yourself for nothing" She Shook her head and walked away.
" What should I do now? I've always try to take him out of my mind but I just can't. The memory of that night keep coming back" She squats and heels her head with her hands. " I love him" She sobbed.
" You love him, who?" She lifted up her wet face slowly and her eyes fell on Lara. Truth be told, all men would want her. Her curvy shape was just perfect. She was wearing maroon skin tight and a black crop top.
Angelina rose up and Quickly Cleaned her face. She couldn't stand another glance at Lara again, she was so jealous of her Body.
" Are you deaf?" Lara asked with her hands on her waist. " You Love who? Is it Zach?" She repeated and Angelina looked at her. " Oh I guess it's Zach" Lara Chuckled. She stepped forward and ran her hand on Angelina's face softly.
" No one takes away what belongs to me. I saw the look on your face when you saw me with Zach earlier. Just for you to know, Zach won't have anything to do with someone like you. You are just his servant who does whatever he wants" Lara smirked.
" Really" Angelina flung Lara's hand away from her face. " I'm a servant, You don't have to remind me that. But, I also have the right to fall in love with whoever I want!" She snapped.
" I don't care if Zach is your Boyfriend or not, He'll fall in love with me at the end" She Bit her lower lip and flounced out of the garden to Lara's Admiration.
Lara was taken aback, she watched as Angelina walked out of the Garden.
" Whoa!" She exclaimed. " I think I've got a rival here. I'll have to keep an eye on this girl or I loses Zach to her. She isn't his taste in a girl, I wonder why she's hurting herself" She Chuckled and Sat on the Bench.

Angelina went back to the Maid's Quarters. The way the other maids stared at her when she entered the room showed that Nicky has already briefed them on what happened. She went straight to her Ben which was Beside the window and lay down.
" Angelina" Nicky called but She ignored her and closed her eyes. Nicky's Bed was closer to hers , it was only the side drawer that divided them.
" I know you can hear me. I'm sorry for what I said earlier" She apologized but still, Angelina didn't say a word.
" Angelina, The boss Called earlier. He said he wants Grilled chicken for Breakfast tomorrow" Angelina would have sprang out of the bed to Nicky's whenever she heard the Boss wanted something but that night was different. After what she saw and the look he gave her, she didn't want to talk about him that night.
" Angelina I..." She interrupted Nicky. " Can you just leave me alone? I'm trying to sleep here" She rolled her eyes and shut them again.
" Alright, I'm sorry" Nicky shook her head, she looked at the other maids and lay on her bed. " Good night" She covered her self with the blanket and turned off the lantern on her side bed.
Next Morning, Angelina woke up with a slight headache. She has been experiencing that for almost a week now. Nicky had advised her to go see the Doctor but Angelina had refused saying she was okay.
The urge to Throw up woke her up from her beautiful sleep, she ran inside the bathroom not Minding Who was Inside.
" Hey girl, what's wrong with you?" Nicky Queried. She detested it when someone barged inside the bathroom when she was inside. Angelina didn't say a word to her, she ran to the Wash hand basin and throw up in it. It was as if her intestines would pop out from her throat.
" Angelina, are you okay?" Nicky Wrapped a Towel around her chest and stepped out of the bath tub. She went to Angelina and started tapping her back softly.
" I..." Angelina wanted to speak but she started throwing up again. " I need to call someone" Nicky tried to go out from the bathroom but Angelina held her hand and gestured to her not to go out. " But You need help" She said worriedly.
Angelina Turned on the tap, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth then turned to Nicky who was looking at her Worriedly.
" You are going to the store today right?" She asked and Nicky nodded her head. " Can you get me..." Angelina paused. " What?" Nicky asked. " Let's go out" She held Nicky's hand and took her out of the bathroom.
Angelina went to her side bed, she drew out the drawer and brought out a pen and a paper. She wrote something on it and showed it to Nicky.
" A what!" Nicky screamed but Angelina quickly covered her mouth. " What's wrong with you?" She rolled her eyes after uncovering Nicky's Mouth.
" What would you do with a test strips?" Nicky asked Surprisingly. " Just get me one please" Angelina pleaded. " But you'll have to tell me why you need it before I get it for you" Nicky turned to leave for her bed and Angelina grabbed her wrist.
" Okay fine, I'll tell you" She sighed. " You know you have been my best friend ever since I moved here right?" Angelina asked and Nicky nodded her head.
" I've been experiencing some changes lately and... and I missed my period last month. The morning Sickness is getting serious so, I need you to help get me a pregnancy test strip" She Said in form of a whisper.
" Angelina, please don't tell me you are pregnant" Nicky was worried. " I don't know. Just get me what I asked for first and we'll confirm after the test" She said and Nicky nodded her head.
" Alright, I'll get you one. No, Two. I pray the result comes out negative. I mean, How can you be pregnant for the Boss? Weird" Nicky scoffed.
" And what if the result Comes out positive?" Angelina asked Nicky. " Never! Quit dreaming" She rolled her eyes and went back to her bed.
Three hours later, Angelina was in the room waiting for Nicky to return with the test strip. She has been having different thought about it.
" What if the test comes out positive?" She Shook her head. Just then, the door opened and Nicky Came in.
" Thank Goodness you are back. Where is the Strip?" Angelina asked. " Take it easy girl." Nicky reached for her pocket and grabbed them out.
" What? I hid them here for safety. You know the driver" Angelina didn't waste time, she grabbed one of the strip and ran inside the bathroom. " Easy, Do not fall" Nicky paced around the room waiting for Angelina to bring out the news.
" Why is it?" She asked immediately Angelina stepped out of the bathroom. " Come on Nicky, I've just insert the strip in the pee. Let's wait for it" She sat down on the bed and Nicky sat beside her.
" Don't worry Friend, It won't be positive" Nicky said holding Angelina's hand. " Okay" Angelina nodded her head.
Few minutes later, Angelina Returned back to the bathroom. She picked went to the table where she put the strip and when her eyes caught the two red lines, Her heart skipped.
" Nicky!" She screamed and Nicky ran inside the bathroom. " What is it?" Nicky asked with her eyes wide opened. Angelina pointed at the strip and Nicky gulped down before looking at it.
" Angelina, I'm seeing Two lines. What does it means?" She asked nervously. " Nicky I... I'm pregnant" She said without taking her eyes off the strip. " You are what!" Nicky Exclaimed but she quickly covered her mouth.
" You are pregnant for the Billionaire?" Nicky asked with balls of sweats dripping down her face. " Yes, I'm pregnant for the Billionaire" Angelina slowly Turned to Nicky and her face lit up.
" I'm pregnant for the Billionaire!" She screamed in excitement. " Oh My God! This is a dream come true" Nicky was shocked.. she watched as Angelina danced round the bathroom.
" Angelina, have you lost it?" Nicky shook her thinking something was wrong with her up there. " I'm fine, I'm really fine. Nicky I'm pregnant!" She pointed to her chest Happily.
" Yes you are pregnant. Can you just keep it down? The other maids will hear you" Nicky whispered to her. " I don't care, They'll Soon know I'm carrying the Boss's child. Oh My God Nicky" She hugged Nicky so tight.
" Angelina please, You have to do the test again" Nicky pleaded. " You can't be pregnant, this is bad" She said worriedly. " Forget about it, girl. I'm. Pregnant, I knew I was pregnant. I just wanted to be sure" Angelina went out of the bathroom Hurriedly and Nicky went after her.
" Where are you going?" Nicky asked after she has grabbed Angelina's hand before she could get out of the room. " To tell him, To tell Zach I'm pregnant for him" She Said and Nicky raised a brow. " Are you kidding me? Don't you know that his girlfriend is still here?"
" And who cares about her? I don't! I'm now the main girlfriend because I'm carrying his child" She rubbed her flat tummy. " Angelina please Keep it low. Don't you know that Lady L would do whatever it would take to terminate this pregnancy? That's why you have to be quiet until she left" Nicky advised.
" You might be right" Angelina nodded her head. " Yes. Even if you want to tell him, let's wait when she left" Angelina agreed with Nicky on that. She remembered her encounter with Lara the previous night.
" Alright then, we will wait for her to leave. I can't wait to tell Zach, I can imagine the happiness that would showcase on his face" She smiled. " What happiness?" Nicky asked.
" I once heard him talking to Lara about having a Bay but her response was No. She said she isn't ready as that would ruin her career" Angelina Laughed.
" Can you imagine When I tell him I'm pregnant for him? Oh my God! The happiness" She Giggled. " Let's Go, Angelina." Nicky said " Where?" Angelina asked.
" To the kitchen of course" She sighed. " Oh yes, the kitchen.. I have to start eating Healthy meals from now on" She giggled as they left the room.
Lara and Zach came down from the stairs holding hands. They laughed as they talked. And at that moment, Nicky and Angelina also came out from the Maid's Quarters. Angelina paused, She stared at them jealously.
" Let's go" Nicky whispered to her but Angelina didn't bulge an inch. " Angelina!" Nicky bit her lip trying to drag her away.
" What's happening?" Came Zach's Voice. " N... Nothing, Boss" Nicky Lowered her face nervously. " Angelina, let's go" She whispered again and Angelina rolled her eyes.
" What's wrong with her?" Zach asked Nicky. " Nothing" Nicky pinched her. " Hey, take it easy" Angelina frowned her face. " Then Move!" Nicky commanded. Angelina Looked at Lara who was holding Zach's hand and chuckled before entering the kitchen.
" What's with her?" Lara scoffed. " Forget she exist" Zach Said sitting down on the sofa. " How do you expect me to forget she exist? Yesterday, you told me to forget about her that she is your servant. And now you want me to forget she exist?" Lara Chuckled.
" What's with the Anger?" Zach was surprised. " Why won't I be angry? This girl is seriously getting on my nerves" She sat beside him. " How?" Zach asked.
" Yesterday I found her crying in the garden. Can you believe she told me she have the right to fall in love with anyone she wants?" Lara Scoffed.
" How does that concerns you? She's right" He brought out his phone and started tapping on it. " Whoa! The person she was referring to is you" She gasped. " Are you kidding me?" Zach Chuckled.
