"I just ordered healthy food for a pregnant woman and they brought all these"
"You are so sweet" I say with a sweet smile and he chuckles "Wait, did you watch me sleep all this while?"
"Yeah, and it was quite a fascinating sight. You looked very cute while sleeping"
"Are you trying to say now that I'm awake I don't look cute?"
"No you don't" He denies flatly and I bite my lips in dissapointment. "You look like a goddess. Gorgeous, totally gorgeous" He says with a sweet smile and I blush hard.
This is so weird and I feel guilty for having such a good time with someone else's fiance. The fact that he watched me sleep all day still hasn't settled on my mind. This child I'm carrying is such a lucky being.
"Aren't you going to eat something too?"
"I'm not..."
"Come on, please. I

"You do know we have a lot to talk about right?""Like?" I ask uncertain."Your diet""What about it?" I ask curious."I'm going to get you a chef, you can't go around eating just anything. I am not ready to take that kind of risk""You are blowing things out of proportion. For Christ's sake I am only pregnant, I'm not dying""I know honey, I know, but we still have to talk about it" he insists."You are impossible""Doctor Kevin said your next check up will be on Wednesday. I will pick you up so we can go together""That won't be necessary""It will be, I am not going to miss out any moment of this pregnancy, so deal with it""Can I just go inside already?, Please?""I am sorry for stressing you out" He says with a sweet smile as steps closer to me and now we are just a few inches away from each other.

"I'm sorry Seven, but it's too late. Even if I wanted to be with you again, I can't""Why not?""There is something you need to know""What is that Luna?" He asks eagerly."I'm pregnant" I announce as I start taking of my clothes, caring less about his presence. It's not like he hasn't seen me naked before. I need to be ready before Asher comes to pick me up."What?" He roars."You heard me" I say rolling my eyes as I walk into my bathroom."Is it mine?" He asks following me into the bathroom and I don't try to stop him."Eew!, No!""Goddammit Luna, you let another guy knock you out?" He asks furiously and I roll my eyes."It wasn't intentional but I don't regret it either" I say as turn on the heater so the water can get warm. I turn to face Seven and the expression on his face is priceless!. He isn't taking the news lightly."Luna this is all a joke right?, Please tell me you're just trying to get b
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER TWELVE
"You want reasons?" I ask angrily " There's a whole list!""Let's get you out of here" Asher urges."Let her talk looser!" Seven screams but Asher just ignores him and leads me out of my bedroom with a protective arm wrapped around my waist while holding my bag with the free hand.Once we get outside, he helps me get into the car and straps on my seatbelt. He then walks over to the driver's seat. Once he's settled, he ignites the car engine and drives out of the premises. Seven can remain in there and argue with the bed and couches for all I care. What I need right now is some peace and I know that is exactly what I will get at Asher's house."Are you alright?" Asher asks."I guess I am""You know I can stop him from seeing you right?"" I know Asher but it's fine ,really" .Asher is a badass lawyer, it will take him less that no time to file a restraining order against Seven, but I don't want that."Wifey you were

"Just shut up and listen!" I scold angrily and she shuts up. "Is that how low you think of me?""What do you expect me to think?, You didn't show up at our lunch date, didn't take your calls and now you are back home looking all shabby and missing some clothes, tell me what do you expect me to think?""Anything but cheating Sophia, anything but that" I say calmly and she bows down her head in guilt as she plays with her fingers. "All of this has to do with a girl though" I confess and looks up at me abruptly."You mean you were with a girl all day?""Yeah""Can you please tell me what's going on?""Remember that high school reunion party you missed?""Yeah, I traveled to Paris for a photoshoot""We had a misunderstanding and took a break""Yeah we did""So I met this girl at the party and we shared a drink in my car, one thing led to the other and we ended up spending the night together""As in you two had

"Ace what is this I'm hearing?" My mother asks furiously the moment I walk into the living room. I was awoken this morning by her phone call ordering me to come home immediately. Sophia must have exaggerated when telling her about Luna and the pregnancy. She is seated right between our mothers putting on the most pathetic expression and I find it extremely annoying.She is such a drama queen."Mum let me explain""Sophia already told us everything" Sophia's mother spits out angrily."That's her own side of the story, I've got mine""What cock and bull story do you want to feed us with?, how could you get some random girl pregnant?, do you have any idea how scandalous that is?, what if it reaches the press, the entire city and why not the country. It will be the talk of the town!" She laments furiously and I gently rub my forehead with my palm.Mum is always blowing things out of proportion."Mum i honestly do not care what the press or

He isn't smiling though."What a pleasant surprise, you are welcome to Heritage Empire" I say extending my hand for a handshake not even expecting him to accept it but surprisingly, he does and we both shake hands. "Nice to meet you again after all these years""I can't say the same for you" He says with a frown and I just keep smiling."Still cool, please make yourself comfortable" I say gesturing him to take a seat on any of the sofas."That won't be necessary, this is going to be a brief talk""Alright then" I say as I make myself comfortable on the nearest sofa and carefully cross my right leg over the left. "So what brings you here?""The fact that you cheated on my cousin with my girlfriend. What exactly does that make you?""First, you have no idea how all this happened

I just pray she is alright.“Asher” I call and he looks up at me.“You’re here”“Yeah, what happened?” I ask panicking.“I found her lying unconscious in her bathroom when I went to check on her, she must have tripped”“Is she alright?... I mean, did she sustain any injuries?”“None, but I have requested for an ultrasound to be done we can know how the baby is doing”“Has it been done already?” I ask eager.“No, that’s why I called. You are the one who’s supposed to be here with her to carry out the ultrasound. It’s your baby after all” He explains and I go mute. I’m amazed. Asher is indeed a gentleman.&l
