A Wild Secretary

Rushing out of the room, I head over to Shawn's room to take a good look at him. The nanny was right. Shawn was not breathing. Letting the anxiety get to my head, I rush down the stairs almost screaming. Spotting me carrying Shawn, Prince rushed over to me. “What's wrong, Alexa? Is Shawn okay?" Prince asked taking Shawn from my hand. Helping me into his car, Prince rushed us to the hospital. While I am pacing about anxiously, Prince heads out to get some things that Shawn might need. He was an asshole. He might be the man that had betrayed me but he was here when my child needed him the most. Meanwhile, the baby's real father was drunk instead. “ Don't worry about anything. He will be fine, Lexie.” Prince said holding my hand in his. Just then the doctor comes out making me even more anxious. I couldn't tell from his face if Shawn was alright or not. " How is he? Is my son alright?" I asked anxiously as my palms began to start sweating. “The baby is fine. Luckily you brought him on time or the situation would have been critical." The doctor said making me sigh in relief. Staying with me the entire night, Prince and I returned to the house in the morning. By the time we arrived back at the house, everyone was already awake staring at us. Watching Prince's mother walk up to me, I can tell what she is going to do already and turn my face away before she can slap me once again. “What do you think you are doing? Can't you see that she is holding her son? What if you wake him?” Prince asked surprising me. “ So what? You left your wife in the middle of the night and disappeared with your brother's wife, don't you have shame? She is a stupid seductress. She is trying to ruin our family!” Prince's mother shouted. “ Alexa didn't do anything. I am the one who volunteered to take her son to the hospital because he wasn't breathing. He's your grandson. Shouldn't you be worried about him?” Prince asked. “ Shawn wasn't breathing? What is wrong with him? Is he okay?” Prince's grandmother asked rushing down the stairs to check on Shawn. “ He is okay. Thankfully, we arrived in time. The doctor said it was a little complicated. He will be fine as long as his inhaler is near him." I replied smiling as I looked down at my son. Patting his head, I placed him down in his crib a few minutes later after I entered the room. Walking out of the bathroom, King stops looking at me as he stands at the door. “ Where have you been all night? Did you go out with Prince? And you took Shawn with you? Does he know that Shawn is his son? We had an agreement, Alexa.” King said angrily. “ Agreement? Shawn was sick. He wasn't breathing and we had to rush him to the hospital. Meanwhile, you were drunk. Are you blaming me that I took my son to the hospital before he died in my arms?" I asked angrily glaring at Kingston as his eyes softened. I can tell he instantly regretted asking me that question. “ Alexa, -” Kingston said trying to walk up to me but I refused. “ I can't just believe you. All you could think about was Prince. If I were with Prince, where I go with Prince? I don't think I can continue like this.” I said packing my things. “ What? Do you want to leave? You and I-" Kingston said " We have an agreement. A contract! I know that. I am willing to pay the termination fee. I will work hard. Do anything as long as I get away from you.” I said packing my things quickly. Throwing my last pair of shoes into my box, I lift it off the bed carrying it to the door. Dropping it on the ground so I can open the door, I gasp in surprise as Kingston closes the door once again forcing me to jerk back from the sound. “ It's true. I wasn't thinking straight and my jealousy is driving me crazy. I admit that. I won't do anything you don't want me to. Fall in love with you, I won't do it. Drink again? I won't do it. I won't take even a drop of alcohol or come back home late.” Kingston said staring at me softly. His eyes let out more than he wants to. I could tell that he was sincerely trying to make me stay while I was sincerely starting to fall for this kind-hearted man who was the twin brother of my ex. “ I don't think I have the right to tell you not to do that. I just want you to be there for... Shawn." I said stopping myself before I confessed the truth. “ I will be there. I will always be there for Shawn." Kingston said reassuring me. Walking down the stairs together a few minutes later, the both of us head to the dining table for breakfast. Everyone present keeps quiet and instead stares at us as if we were some sort of foreign species. I could tell that they had heard us arguing from the smile on the lips of Kingston's mother. She must have thought I was soon going to leave the house. “ Have you two settled your differences? Understanding is very important in a marriage but trust is the key." Kingston's grandmother says lecturing us as she eats pretending it was nothing serious. “ It's my fault. I let my jealousy get the best of me again ” Kingston said immediately making me stop him as I placed my hand on his. “ What are you talking about? It's my fault that I went out with Princeton without letting you know. Walking with Princeton might be the cause of all this so why don't you allow me to transfer to another department, Grandmother?” I asked making Prince stunned. “ You want to transfer? I thought the both of you had settled your differences.” Prince said trying to confuse Grandmother. “ Why do you want to transfer out if you have already talked it out? There should be no need, right? Stay in the company where you are.” Kingston's grandmother said making me gasp. Watching a smile form on Princeton's face, I can see he is doing it so he can pretend to be happy in front of Kingston. Because he knew very well that Kingston was going to be affected. After I get ready to leave, I walk towards Kingston's car surprising him just as he was about to leave. “ You're heading to work, right? Give a ride too.” I said smiling at Kingston. Opening the door for me, Kingston waits till I get in before driving off. Arriving at the office, all the employees outside become surprised as I walk out of the car of Kingston. I had failed to reason just how weird it was going to be for them to see me with Kingston even though I was Princeton's secretary. “ Thank you," I said shyly as I waved at Kingston one last time before entering inside. The whispering and sneaky looks get worse I enter the cafeteria during lunchtime. Taking an empty seat, I sit down and look around to see everyone gossiping about me. “She's the one?" " I don't think so. Maybe he just decided to give her a ride.” “ Do you think so?” Hearing all of them talk about me, I bend my head down finishing my food quickly so I can head back upstairs. Heading to the door so I could empty my tray, I gasped in shock as someone tripped over something. Luckily I had been able to stop myself from falling flat on my face. However, I had mistakenly thrown my food on someone else. “You didn't just do that. How dare you?” Kingston's secretary asked slapping me hard across my face before I could even apologize. Everyone in the cafeteria looks just as surprised as I am at her sudden outburst. Placing one hand on her cheek, I am unable to hold my temper and quickly charge forward dragging her hair. The two of us get into a huge fight with almost everyone trying to separate us but they can't. "Alexa!" Princeton shouts gaining my attention. Finally letting go of Kingston's secretary, I feel good about the fact that I was able to defend myself. Whether or not she knew I was Kingston's wife was still yet to be confirmed. One thing I knew for sure was that she was taking advantage of my silence. “ Do you think this company is where you can misbehave? What's wrong with you?” Princeton asked scolding me in his office. “ She is the one that started it. She slapped me hard-” I said trying to explain when Princeton stopped me. “ I don't care about what happened. She is Kingston's secretary and you are mine. You represent me. Do you want others to say that I am causing trouble for Kingston? Or is it because you're his wife? Do you think he will take your side against his secretary?" Princeton asked staring at me for a while before standing up. Grabbing my hand harshly, he dragged me into the elevator forcing me to head to Kingston's office. Walking past the secretary's desk, I realized that his secretary wasn't at the desk which made things weird. “Where are you taking me to? What do you think you are doing?" I asked staring at Princeton. “Showing you reality. Come with me. I said come with me.” Princeton said dragging my hand once again. Pushing the door to Kingston's office, we walk inside without any notice surprising Kingston. Spotting him tending his secretary's wounds, I gasp in shock catching his attention. "Alexa," Kingston said making me turn around to leave. However, Princeton stops me once again by holding onto my hand. Staring at me coldly, he drags me closer to him. “ Where are you going?" Princeton asked.
