"Why should I go and see her? And besides, her name is Beatrice not Angela." Maxwell replied nonchalantly.

"Because she is carrying your baby! And that is not the best way to treat your child's mother." The chairman let it out.

"What nonsense are you saying?" Maxwell asked his uncle in confusion.

"Yes. Maxwell Evans, that lady is pregnant for you!" 

"How is that even possible? Please stop all these…I know that you are angry with me about calling off my wedding but that doesn't mean that you should just be making things up anyhow." Maxwell said to his uncle, not taking him serious.

"I'm serious Maxwell! Angela is pregnant!" Henry yelled at him.

"I don't understand…how is that my business if she is pregnant? Why should I all of a sudden be claiming another man's child?" Maxwell asked his angered uncle.

"I'll tell you why you should son! That's because you are the father of her unborn baby. You impregnated her." Henry replied to him gently. Maxwell burst out into a bout of laughter.

"Hahahahaha…..this is hilarious…like I've ever known a lady before. Please uncle, I have work to do so if you don't mind, you can see to the door. I don't have time for all of this." Maxwell replied.

"Oh, you think this is funny right? I will bail her out and together, we'll go and conduct a pregnancy test on her." Henry replied.

"Well then it still means nothing. I mean, whether she is pregnant or not, it is not my business. I've not touched her or yuck…this is so disgusting. Please leave." Maxwell replied with an irritating look.

"I'll tell you why I'm so confident that she is carrying your child. That night that she came to our house, she slept over in your room and you touched her Max." Henry explained to him.

"I'm not ready for this please! Take it elsewhere." Maxwell replied.

"Watch this!" Henry dropped a flash drive on Maxwell's table.

"What's that?" He asked him as he looked at it. Henry didn't reply as he sat down. Maxwell inserted the flash into his laptop and played the video. It was a sex videotape but it was not the complete video of what happened that night when Beatrice went into his room. 

Whoever that laid hands on the video has cropped out some part. It started from where Maxwell laid on top of Beatrice and confessed his feelings for her after which he made love to her. Maxwell was shocked after watching this. He didn't know it was an incomplete video.

"What is this?" He asked his uncle in a shaky voice.

"I should be asking you what this is." Henry replied.

"This can't be true."

"You want to say it's photoshopped?"

"I don't know but this is not true! I can't remember doing such!" Maxwell denied it.

"Come on boy. If it were photos, I'll agree that it was photoshopped but this is a full live video! Isn't this your room? Come on Max!" Henry replied him back, rather harshly.

"You know what you will do now? If that girl is pregnant, then you have no choice but to marry her. Otherwise, if she takes this video out, you are doomed in this company! Do you get it? Can you withstand the shame of sleeping with your employee? Can you?" Henry said to Maxwell and with that, he got up to leave.

"And by the way, she also has the original copy. She sent this to me, threatening to get her out of there and you should pay her dowry as soon as possible or she will go viral. Do the right thing!" Henry said and left the office. He let out a smile on his lips and went to his office.

He was sure that Maxwell was going to fall for this trick. He had no chance to stand down, he was going to bail her out and also marry her.

As expected, Maxwell ordered for her bail but she wasn't going to come back to work for the rest of that week. Maxwell couldn't help thinking about it. It was so real, but how come he wasn't aware of it? Eric noticed how he felt so down and asked him what was wrong.

Maxwell couldn't tell him about the affair. He kept on denying that there was nothing wrong. Eric requested they go for a drink at their favorite bar. Maxwell wasn't even showing interest in his drink.

"Talk to me, what's wrong?" Eric asked him as he was more concerned.

"I don't know how to tell you this, man…"

"Come on…we've been friends for a very long time and we share our pain and joy together. What's this all about that you feel heavy to tell me? Talk to me, I've got your back." Eric tried to persuade him and Maxwell finally gave in. 

"It's about Angela…my former secretary."

"What about her? Is she ill? She hasn't been coming to work for some days now. Is everything okay with her?" Eric asked.

"I don't care if she is okay but she…hmm…"

"Relax…calm down and talk to me. What happened?"

"She is threatening me."

"Hh.. threatening you? How can someone threaten you? Especially a lady?" Eric asked as he was surprised, which made him to scoff.

"Yes."

"How? Why is she threatening you and with what?"

"She wants me to marry her and the chairman also agreed to it."

"Haha…okay, this is getting more funnier than I thought. What's all these? Angela? That quiet girl that everyone admires? Why will she do such a thing and why the hell is it even disturbing you? You are more than this man!" Eric replied.

"I know…this is just so confusing…"

"What really happened? What made her to do such and have so much guts in the first place?"

"She is not who everyone think she is. Her name is Beatrice and not Angela. She is an impostor."

"Oh my…what? How come? This is really getting complicated. Why would she take the identity of someone else?"

"Exactly my point but that's not what's even bothering me.

"So what is?"

"We…she…I don't know…she slept in my bed and things went too far."
