Siblings: Forbidden love novel Chapter 47

When Veronica saw the news and papers, her eyes burned red, who could it be? Who could hate her family so much? She thought back to who might know of the news and remembering that Sharon was the one that called her and told her about the pregnancy, she couldn't contain her anger, she got her phone immediately and dialed her number.

Sharon picked at second call "oh my God Vero, how did the papers got to know? Who gave them such assumption?" She sounded frantic and for a minute, Veronica thought she might not be the culprit, but then who will it be if not her?

"Don't sound like that with me Sharon, how could you do this!" Veronica was angry.

Sharon was speechless for a while before saying "you think I did this?"

"Who else will it be? You are the only one that knows Anna is pregnant, you are the one that called and told me. Even if Benita knows, I don't think she will do this kind of thing!"

"I don't understand you Vero, Benita is my sister, I am your friend. If you can believe that Benita didn't do it then why can't you believe I didn't?"

"I'm finding that difficult to believe."

"But Vero..."

"Sharon, you know better. You know Jason is not my son, why give this fake news to the press?"

"Vero I didn't do this. I'm as surprise as you are. I woke up this morning and it was Grace that even brought the papers to me, I was shocked when I saw the headlines, I was still about to call you when Benjamin called me to see the news, we were both worried. I will never do that to you Vero, please, you have to believe me."

"I'm finding that difficult to do, and you know the reason."

Sharon heaved a heavy sigh on the other side "Jason's mother. It was a mistake, a mistake that I always blame myself for whenever I see Jason. I find it difficult to forgive myself of that, and I understand that you wouldn't too. But Vero, I have hurt Jason enough, I can't bring myself to hurt him again... But wait, is he really? Anna's baby daddy I mean."

It was Veronica's turn to heave a sigh "yes, they are both in love. Sam and I only got to know last night."

"Oh my" Sharon said "but it's not wrong, I mean they are not actually related, it's true you have been taking care of him since he was a baby but we can never forget biology."

"Exactly, which is why this news that is circulating is a scam, and I need to do something about it."

"Um duh, aren't you forgetting something?"

"What?"

"You just need to tell the press that he is not your son. I mean, even if they don't believe it, you have an advantage to your side, you can either go for maternity test with Jason, or you have the press dig up news from when Jason was born, no one saw you get pregnant and that's because you weren't. It's not such a big deal."

Veronica nodded in agreement "you are right but I really want to know who spread the news. Tell me Sharon, you and your blabbermouth, who did you tell?"

"Hey, I don't go by that name anymore."

"I don't care, just tell me. If you didn't spread it and I'm sure Benita didn't either because I know how much she hates the press, then who did? Who did you tell?"

Sharon was silent for some seconds "um, after I drop the call with you. Anita called me, and during the process of discussing, I might have told her Anna is pregnant."

"You what?" Veronica shouted.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. We were discussing, telling each other things we know, I just told her with the heat of the discussion. I'm sorry, really."

"In all the people in the world, you told Anita!"

"I'm sorry. You don't think she is the one that did it, do you?"

"Who else? Two days ago, she has been calling me, warning me to put an eye on Jason's and Anna's interactions. She told me they were too close. She was the first person that told me Jason was in Anna's school and that she also saw him kiss her. I didn't believe her, of course I didn't, and I had warned her to stop monitoring my children in anger. And you my dear talkative friend just gave her a trump card to get back at me."

"Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was like that. What are you going to do now?"

"What else? First I'm going to step out there and clear my family's name, then I'm going to give her a taste of her own medicine. No body messes with my family."

"Wow, I trust you and now I'm afraid for her."

"You better be, cause what I have up my sleeve, you too would be surprised."

"Wow. You go girl, and I am really sorry for telling Anita, I didn't mean it."

"The deed has been done."

"So, I'm I a soothsayer now?"
