Ryan's POV
A splitting headache woke me up from sleep. I groaned from the pain and shot my hand out to get a bottle of water from my bedside. There was nothing and it seemed so strange. I slowly sat up and opened my eyes.
I peered around the room and found myself in a strange room. "What in the world?" I said and soon noticed a completely naked woman sleeping soundly next to me.
"Who are you?" I groaned and shook her awake.
She moaned inaudibly and turned her head to the other side. I shook her even more.
"Who are you? How did I get here?"
She looked at me clearly irritated. "You are pretending not to know what happened. We had a one night stand since you're choosing to pretend not to remember."
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I remembered being at the club last night but not anything else.
"I don't remember coming here, where are we?"
"A motel close to the club, give me a break you drove us here." She sat up with the sheets covering her.
"This was never meant to happen. I didn't ask for a stripper."
"You didn't push me off though, so that doesn't count as anything."
I realized that arguing with her was pretty useless so I stood up and saw my clothes littered on the floor.
I picked up my phone and wallet on the bedside table. Everything seemed intact and I quickly put on my clothes.
"Give me your details and I will forward you your money. Don't be stupid and keep this between us." I said knowing the big scandal this will cause if it gets out.
She chuckled at me and said nothing. Which I noticed but chose to ignore it.
She then shrugged at me and laid back down on the bed. My head hurts like hell and I tried so hard to remember but it was impossible.
I turned my back and walked out of the room. I checked my phone and realised that I had numerous missed calls from Elena, Dave and Ian.
I ignored Elena's calls and first dialled Dave's number, he picked after the first ring. "Where the hell have you been man? Elena said that you didn't go back home last night."
I soon found my car in the packing lot and got in. "She should be worried about her boy toy and not me."
"For goodness sake Ryan, I feel like you should calm down and try to hear her side of the story. I don't think she would intentionally hurt you."
"That is what I thought about Monalisa and look how broken that left me."
"She isn't her."
"I don't want to hear anything about this again. Is that why you called me earlier?" I was irritated.
He sighed and said I heard a voice in the background. "Who is that?" I asked.
"It's Ian, we are already at the office. It's almost ten a.m, you got us worried." Dave said and I heard shuffling on the other end.
"We hacked into the CCTV cameras of the club and saw you with a hooker and you both drove off. You are married now Ryan, thought you'd stop that life." Ian said he had taken the cell from Dave and spoke, disappointment clear as day in his voice.
"You all should stay out of my personal life, I wouldn't be able to get to the office today. I don't feel too good."
"Should we call Dr. Warren?"
"No, I just need to sleep off the endless drinks I had last night. I'd call you both when I'm well rested, bye."
I cut off the phone call and kept my phone by the seat beside me.
How did I let this thing get so out of hand? It isn't what I want. I need to go back home and clear my head, I'm pretty sure that Elena is at work since I told her we wouldn't be leaving together anymore.
I drove out of the parking lot and soon got to my house in about twenty minutes. The guards let me in and I soon got into the house.
Just when I stepped into the house, a figure rushed towards me from the sitting room. "I was so worried about you, are you okay?"
I ignored her and went straight to my room and shut the door.

Elena's POV
It's been almost a month since Ryan has been giving me the silent treatment and I feel like I'm running crazy. I can't even wrap my head around what is going on. He wouldn't even give me a listening ear.
"Hi Miss Elena, hope you had a good night's rest?" Tatiana said from behind the kitchen island she was cleaning.
It was a weekend and Ryan was still upstairs I'm sure.
I gave her a little smile and went to the fridge to get some water.
"My night was really good and yours?" I asked with a smile on my face.
"Well it hasn't been bad at all. Thank you so much for the little time and money you gave me to take my baby to the hospital. It really helped me with what I needed. The hospital gave her the drugs and all she needed."
"You're welcome, it's the least I can do."
"You're so kind and it makes the entire mansion vibrant. Every worker loves you and talks about how considerate you have been. You know, we were scared when we heard that the boss was getting married into a powerful family."
"Why were you guys scared?"
"Most women from rich families don't treat workers well so we thought that it would be the same situation. But you are so different and genuine, thank you."
"It makes me happy to hear that. You guys also make the place livable for me. It means a whole lot."
A knock on the door made us both stare at the front door. Tatiana dropped her rag and was about to walk out but I stopped her.
"I'll go check, you're busy." She nodded and I walked to the door, to my surprise George was there.
"Good morning, Ma'am. A strange lady called Zoe is here to see you."
The only Zoe I know is my cousin, Aunt Maria's daughter who hasn't been in touch with the family for years. If she's the one, I'll be so glad.
"Okay, let her in the gate."
He spoke into his ear plugs and the gate was pulled open, Zoe's familiar face materialized and she looked so beautiful but her face didn't look happy to see me.
I waited for her by the door and once she got close I went in for a hug but she stepped back.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked her. "Aren't you here to see your cousin after so long?"
She eyed me with a look of disdain on her face. "I didn't come here to reunite with you, dear cousin. I have something important to tell you."
"What is that?"
She looked behind me and I looked back only to see Ryan staring at Zoe with a look of complete shock.
"I'm glad he is here as well." She shuffled through her bag and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over to me.
I scanned through it, it was a pregnancy test.
"Why did you give me this?" I asked her in confusion.
"Your darling husband and I had a one night stand a few weeks and I just discovered this morning that I'm pregnant with his baby."
I could barely breath and my heart sank at the revelation.
