BECOME AN ANTAGONIST

2 Days no word from Lara. Eventually Phoenix told his assistant to look at Lara's situation in his company.
"Go to his company, Matt. I want to know how things are going" Phoenix said.
"Good, Sir." Matt then immediately departs for Lara's company upon receiving orders from the boss.
Upon arrival, Matt goes straight to Lara's room accompanied by Lara's secretary.
"What's wrong?" ask Lara.
"Mr Phoenix just wants to know about you, Miss," replied Matt.
Lara smiled faintly and gave Matt an envelope.
"Give this to him" said Lara.
Matt took the envelope. "Sir is still coming in a week, miss," replied Matt.
"You can open it later in your office" said Lara.
"Alright, Miss. Excuse me first." Matt looked down respectfully and turned out of Lara's room.
"I can't wait to see your reaction, Honey," muttered Lara leaning casually on her grand chair.

Phoenix looked seriously at his phone. The message from Matt surprised her a little.
Matt sends a letter in which Lara is declared pregnant. And of course it was her son because Lara was just doing that with him.
Shortly after, Phoenix called Lara.
"Hello" answered Lara.
Phoenix still didn't say anything.
"If you don't talk, you shouldn't call me" Lara said.
"I don't know what to say" Phoenix replied at last.
"That's what I would do without you telling me" Phoenix replied.
"Connect with Davina company. Otherwise, you'll never see your son at all times" said Lara.
"You're using our baby-to-be, Lara?" ask Phoemix who's a little furious.
"I don't care about that. Didn't you know I used you in the first place?" said Lara.
"You have absolutely no empathy, Lara. You used our baby. Something you shouldn't have done" Phoenix growled.
"You started it. You piss me off because you're still in touch with that net. And you set me up to work with him. Whatdoyouwant? So that I can make peace with him? Never ... I will never make peace with him. Forever!!!" snapped Lara.
"We can't just break this partnership. The project is already running at 50 percent. Be professional, Lara" Phoenix replied.
"I don't care. It's all in your hands, Phoenix. If you continue, I guarantee you'll never see me again and neither will your son!!" Lara hung up on him for not wanting to talk to Phoenix again.
"SHHIIITT ...." Phoenix swearing loudly.
Phoenix should be happy with Lara's pregnancy. But she doesn't like Lara's attitude of using her pregnancy to threaten her.
Then Phoenix decided to go home tonight to New Jersey. He wants to meet Lara quickly.
Phoenix has not talked about her relationship with Lara to Rey as they are still both busy and there is no time to meet in person.
Phoenix wants to talk to Rey in person and doesn't want to go over the phone.
Then inevitably, Phoenix finally sends a message to Rey - the daddy - that he will marry Lara as soon as possible because Lara is pregnant.
Soon, Rey calls Phoenix.
"Daddy's too busy for daddy to keep an eye on you, Phoe. What's the matter?" ask Rey.
"I'm in touch with Lara, Dad. So I'm going to marry her as soon as possible because she's pregnant right now" Phoenix replied as she walked out of her room.
"But how can it be?" ask Rey.
"Our apartment's close together and we're mature enough, Dad. Can't you talk about this? There's more important want to domedas with daddy. Come quickly to New Jersey. I'm going home tonight to New Jersey" Phoenix replied.
"All right," Rey said and hung up.
