Chapter: A billion dollars worth dealOutside the office was Norton as he stood in front of the door keeping watch. Although the office was sound proofed, he couldn't risk anyone finding out about the situation at hand.“Is she really pregnant with Mr. Adric?” Norton itched the back of his head as he asked himself. In all his five years of working with Clyde, he had come across different women claiming to have a child for his boss. But no matter how much he thinks about it, there is something peculiar and true about this particular woman.As the saying goes, the first meeting is a coincidence and the second is fate. Now that he thinks about it, their meeting wasn't really a coincidence but actually meant something.“I wonder how Mr. Adric is doing. I just hope everything goes well.” Norton muttered. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and sighed afterwards. It has already been over an hour since the young lady entered.At that moment in time, the door burst open and it revealed the angry Amelia who grumpily walked out

Chapter: I'm carrying your child, Mister! In the conference room, the timer in front of Clyde stopped three seconds after the briefing of the art team leader. His lips curved into a satisfactory smile as he flipped through the pages of the file in front of him. It was obvious he enjoyed the briefing presented by the art team. “Good job, everyone. I particularly enjoyed today's briefing. Also, always bear in mind to go beyond our customers expectations by working hard. Today's result is awesome doesn't mean that it will be the same tomorrow. Meeting dismissed.” Clyde concluded the meeting and returned to his office, only to meet his secretary and a young lady waiting for him.“What is going on here?” Clyde turned to Norton with a frown, expecting an explanation from him.“Mr. Adric, this young lady claims to have something very important to tell you.” Norton informed and left the office afterwards.Sighing, Clyde rubbed his temple as he walked to his desk and sat down. He loosened his neck tie and averted his amber eyes to

Chapter: You're my baby's daddy Amelia walked out of the jewelry shop feeling defeated. She was unable to sell the wristwatch as she had planned.She still could not bring herself to believe that the bastard who had forced himself on that night was the director of Adric designer's company. “What should I do? Should I just meet with him?” Amelia stopped on her track and asked out loud.Before she could come to a conclusion, another call from her grandfather's phone interrupted her. Amelia let out a loud sigh after realizing that it was the cake guy who had called her earlier. After a few seconds of hesitance, her fingers swiped to the answer option.“Hello sir, I will be there in a jiffy.” Amelia hung up before he could even speak a word.Afterwards she flagged down a taxi and it did not take time for her to arrive at the store. “Why didn't you come earlier to pick up the cake? Seriously, you kept me waiting!” The man in charge of the cake store scolded.“I'm sorry, I have been busy. Also, I didn't know that he or

Chapter: Goodbye's the saddest wordArriving in front of the hospital, Amelia quickly alighted from the taxi and ran her way through inside the hospital. As she entered the hall, a doctor directed to the room where her grandfather was hospitalized. The moment she entered the room, her eyes came in contact with a body covered with plain white clothing. “What is going on?” Amelia asked the doctors in a trembling voice. The doctor in charge of her grandfather bowed his head to avoid her fiery gaze and swollen facials. “My grandpa is not the person under the white clothing, is he?” Amelia asked again, this time her tears flowed on her cheeks and she wiped them with her thumbs. She was already losing it and it was obvious. Even without the doctor telling her, she already knew that her grandfather was no more. She was no fool, but as much as she wanted to accept the fact that her grandfather was dead, she just couldn't. “I'm sorry, Miss Amelia.” The doctor finally said and sighed afterwards before leaving them alone A

Chapter: A promised dateThe weeks ran so fast that it was beginning to scare the hell out of Amelia. She had turned three months today and here she was again, standing in front of a mirror with her eyes fixed on her protruding belly. Sighing she walked back to her bed and sat down. The thought of going to work alone was beginning to scare her a lot. Her stomach has gotten a bit big that it can be noticed if one could take a closer look. Again if she doesn't go to work there will be no guarantee that she could pay the rent since the expiration date for the last one was drawing close. “Oh sweet lord” she rubbed her forehead softly as she was beginning to develop a headache from thinking too much. A small smile appeared on her lips and she placed her hands on her stomach before speaking. “Kiddo can you help me? Mom is going through a lot and the only way to keep making a living is by hiding you.” She stood up and walked over to the mirror again. As she stared directly at her stomach through the mirror, her

Chapter: Do not hurt yourselfAmelia was seated on the couch opposite her grandfather in the sitting room. They were both mum and Amelia felt tense as she played with her fingers. Realizing that nobody was ready to say a word, Amelia sighed and decided to take the initiative to speak to clear the misunderstanding between them. “Grandfather!” she blurted out. Her hands grew a little clammy as she clutched her clothes; it was probably due to her fraying nerves. Taking a deep breath, she continued slowly, “Grandfather I can...” “Who is the father of your unborn child?” her grandfather interrupted her words as he stared at the ultrasound report in his hands. With his facial expression, one could tell he was disappointed. If there was a word more suitable for it then, the word disappointed was nowhere close to how he felt. He had lots of trouble raising her and hoped for her to one day live her dream and not end up like his daughter, her mother. However, it was already too late he felt so defeated. *Just why has
