Carrying the child of a CEO (English) 48.1
ZEKIEL It felt like my world stopped the moment I realized Camille was there, holding a knife pointed at Claire. When I saw Claire crying in Camille’s grasp, I desperately wanted to rush over, push that woman away from the one I love—but I couldn’t. Not when Claire’s life was at stake. When Claire fainted, I seized the chance to pull Camille away. As much as I worried for Claire, getting that woman away from her was more urgent—otherwise, things could get worse. I glanced at Claire after I managed to grab the knife and shove Camille back. I immediately ran to Claire and lifted her into my arms. “Hero, handle her. Mom, Dad—Zayne, please.” They nodded at my words, and I bolted out of the office. “Where are you taking her?! You can’t marry her!” I froze when I saw Philip—Camille’s father—along with other board members blocking the way. “I will kill you!” I snarled, making them flinch. “Look at what your daughter did to Claire!” Shock crossed his face at my words, and I sensed

“I’m not mad, Daddy. I’m actually happy. I really wanted to hug Mommy earlier, but I couldn’t because of Camille.” I couldn’t help but cry at his words. I immediately hugged him tightly, and he hugged me back just as fiercely. “Thank you, son. Thank you for accepting your Mommy.” After our embrace, I entrusted my son to Mommy so she could watch over him, then I approached Daddy to talk. “I know you already understand why I’m talking to you, Kiel,” Daddy said seriously, making me nod in response. “You know our world, Kiel. Zayne. I know you get it—Camille went to Zayne, not Claire. Why do you think that is? What do you think her goal is?” I clenched my fists again at his words. He was right, but I had no idea why Camille did that. We needed to be careful and keep an eye on the Hernandezes. “Son, there are too many of you now, especially with Claire pregnant. I don’t want to lose any of you, Kiel. We’re one family.” A sudden wave of anxiety hit me at Daddy’s words. I cou

“K-Kuya Clark,” So his name is Clark. They really are siblings. “Claire, how are you feeling? Are you okay now?” I froze when I saw the concern on his face, especially since it was so obvious in his voice. “I-I’m okay now, Kuya. Where’s my child?” “Mommy, I’m here.” Claire’s attention shifted to the voice, and there she saw Zayne, immediately pulling him into a hug. I smiled at the sight, knowing they must be happy too. “I’m sorry, Zayne. I never meant to hide the truth. I never meant to keep your twin a secret.” “Mommy, it’s okay. I know the truth now, and I’m happy because you really are my real mommy. I thought you had another family, that’s why you had a child—but it turns out, that child is my sibling, Mommy.” “Follow me, Zekiel.” I glanced at Claire’s brother when he suddenly stood up and said that to me. I took one last look at my wife and child before finally following him. So bossy—acting like he’s some big shot, always walking around with his nose in the ai

“Z-Zekiel, can I talk to you?”I stopped talking to Mommy when Claire spoke, so I turned to look at her. She was standing next to her annoying brother again, and they were both staring at me, so I nodded. “Just us, please, Auntie, Uncle,” I glanced at Mommy and Daddy, and they immediately nodded. Mommy picked up Zayne and walked out. “It’s just a talk—don’t be nervous,” I was startled by Daddy’s whisper. How did he know I was nervous? “I’m watching you.” Clark muttered this as he passed by me, making me glare at him. “Then watch all you want—I don’t care about you,” I whispered back before he disappeared from my sight. Ugh, acting all high and mighty—so annoying! “Zekiel.” Claire’s voice snapped me back to reality, and I realized we were the only ones left in the room. I walked closer to her as she sat on her bed. “What do you wanna talk about?” I asked, making her sigh deeply. “I just want to apologize, Zekiel. I’m sorry for hiding our child. I’m sorry for not being h

CLAIRE “W-Where is my child?” I struggled to ask Bea when I found out what happened. It felt like my world had crumbled upon hearing the news—nothing bad could happen to my child. It just couldn’t! “Come, follow me,” she said, running toward an unknown direction. We followed her without a word, none of us speaking. “Why is it closed?!” I demanded, banging on the door as soon as we arrived. “C-Claire, we can’t go inside,” Bea replied, but I shook my head in refusal. “N-No! No, I need to see my child’s condition!” I felt someone embrace me from behind. “Life, please, stop. Zoey will be okay,” Zekiel pleaded, but I struggled against him. I refused—I couldn’t accept not being allowed inside. “P-Please, let me in! I need to go in!” Tears streamed down my face from the pain I felt. I had only left my child for a moment, and now she was in the OR. “M-My Life, please calm down,” Zekiel said, turning me to face him. “Calm down?! How can I calm down when my child is in there f

I was pulled away from hugging Kuya (older brother) because of that, and I looked at him. He had a smile on his lips and wiped the tears on my cheeks. “If Mama were here, she would say the same thing—let them be, Claire.” Because of what Kuya said, I turned to the doctor and nodded. “Go ahead, Doc. And please… save our child.” After I said that, I felt Zekiel hold my hand. He smiled at me, then looked at the doctor. “Operate on our child,” Zekiel said before turning back to me and squeezing my hand. So this is what it feels like to have someone beside you in times of sorrow… It feels so comforting. “The operation was successful.” I immediately hugged Zekiel and Zayne when the doctor delivered the news as he stepped out of the operating room. “M-Mommy… D-Daddy, my twin is safe now!” Zayne said happily, making me smile as I could no longer hold back my tears. I was overjoyed that Zoey’s operation had a successful outcome. I glanced at Zekiel when he held my hand, smi

”WHERE is your brother?” Claire looked at Bea because of her question, which also made the others glance at her. “Ah, he already left. He’s going back home.” “To Paris?” Zekiel suddenly cut in, making Claire look at him. “Y-Yes,” Their brows furrowed at Claire’s response, and she immediately went to Zoey to attend to her. Bea, Dylan, and Hero exchanged looks at the girl’s action and just shrugged. They didn’t want any more commotion. “WHERE is my grandchild?!” Claire jolted awake upon hearing a loud voice and saw Nanay Lucing along with Quinn, Kaithy, and Timothy. “Nanay Lucing!” She quickly stood up and hugged her. “Zoey’s fine now. She’s had surgery, and the doctor said she’ll recover fully.” “Thank goodness! We were so worried!” Timothy’s mother said before approaching Zoey to check on her more closely. “Why didn’t you tell us, Claire? We would’ve understood. Why did you keep it a secret?” Claire fell silent at that, and Timothy stepped closer. “You have a

Kaithy glanced at her child’s words and saw a handsome man who looked exactly like the twin. “Mom, Auntie, this is Kuya Zekiel. The father of our children and my boyfriend.” Zekiel was shocked by Claire’s words, especially when she reached out her hand to him. Without thinking, he took it and let her pull him closer. Meanwhile, Nanay Lucing broke her embrace with her grandchild and turned her gaze to Zekiel. “So you’re Zekiel,” she said seriously, making Zekiel smile. Even though he was surprised by the sudden introduction, his heart swelled with happiness. “Hello, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to take care of your daughter. But whatever happened in the past, let’s forget it—what matters now is the present,” Zekiel said with a smile. However, none of them knew someone was listening from the doorway. “Forget the past? In your dreams, Gray,” the person muttered through gritted teeth, slowly closing the door. Zekiel glanced at the now-closed door, and if looks could kill, it would

“Y-You’re right, okay okay! Thank you, Louise! I wouldn’t know what to do if everything you said actually happens.” “Don’t forget, I’m always here, Claire. I’m your friend, and I’m ready to stand by you. Alright, bye now, Claire—my meeting starts in five minutes.” “Okay, Louise, thank you. Take care there!” After that call, she went straight to Zoey’s room and saw that the twins were already asleep, while Zekiel was waiting for her. “Why did you take so long?” the young man greeted her. “Louise called to check up on me.” Zekiel frowned at her words. “Louise? I blocked that guy—how was he still able to call you?” Claire’s ears perked up at what Zekiel said, remembering Louise mentioning he couldn’t reach her. “You! You’re the reason Louise couldn’t contact me right away!” Claire whispered sharply, almost shouting, making Zekiel freeze. “M-Me? What did I do?” he stammered, seeing the pain in her eyes. “Louise told me he couldn’t reach me, so he couldn’t tell me sooner

“WHY did you tell him?!” Claire said with wide eyes, whispering to her friends. “S-Sorry, Claire. We had no choice at that time,” Quinn replied. “Besides, it was your brother who came up with that plan, not me!” Claire could only sigh at Bea’s words, unable to look at Zekiel. “Wait, your brother? But isn’t that Timothy? He didn’t say anything back then.” Bea glanced at her friend, realizing that even she didn’t know the full truth about Claire’s past. “Why don’t you ask Timothy? I’m sure he knows something since he’s acquainted with Claire’s brother, Clark.” Quinn shot her boyfriend a sharp look. “A-Ahh, well… it’s a long story,” Timothy awkwardly laughed at his girlfriend. “Hey, my life,” Zekiel called out, causing Claire and her friends to freeze. “I think we should head out now. Let’s go, guys,” Bea said, pulling them away. “Wait, you all still have a lot of explaining to do!” Hero called after them, leaving the two standing by the door. Zekiel approached Claire

“Wait, Bea, I have a question,” Zekiel said, making everyone turn to him—even Claire waited for what he was about to say. “What is it?” “Did you have anything to do with why Mom and Dad showed up at my meeting with the board members back when Camille and I almost got married?” Suddenly, Claire remembered that incident—the very reason she had to go to Gray’s Company in the first place, because of the arranged marriage between Zekiel and Camille. “Ah, about that… Quinn was the one who made that decision, Claire, not me!” Claire frowned at the sudden shift in Bea’s expression, especially since she was looking at her when it was Zekiel who had asked the question, not her. “Why am I being dragged into this?” she asked, glancing between the two friends. “What do you mean you? It was Bea!” Claire only got more confused by what was happening—until the men approached them and Timothy spoke up. “They both said you were the owner of Cs Boutique.” (Flashback) “This is a huge mes

CLAIRE I couldn’t move from where I stood because of what I heard. Suddenly, the words of Kuya Clark and Timothy flashed through my mind. “How did that person get in here?! Don’t you have security?!” Zekiel’s voice rose, and I didn’t stop him because even I was furious about their negligence. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Gray, but this is a hospital. Anyone can enter, and we didn’t expect something like this to happen.” The doctor was right—we shouldn’t blame anyone because, first of all, no one wanted this. Who would’ve thought our daughter would be in danger? “Z-Zekiel, that’s enough. The doctor’s right. All we need to do now is find out who did this,” I said, tightening my grip on his hand, which made him sigh. He stared at me for a long moment before forcing a smile. This was one of the changes in him that I liked—he’d become humbler for me, unlike before when he was so prideful and quick to yell. “Okay, fine. Give me the footage, Doc. We’ll handle it.” The doctor nodd

“Wow! Zekiel said you’d all go out once Zoey recovers,” Bea suddenly said, saving them all and allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. “Is that so? I hope our daughter wakes up soon,” Claire said sadly, looking at Zekiel. “M-Mommy…” They were startled by the weak voice, but it was loud enough for them to hear. When they turned toward the source, they saw Zoey was awake. “Zoey!” Claire immediately approached the child and asked how she was feeling. “Z-Zoey! You’re awake! How do you feel? How are you, sweetheart?” Claire asked rapidly. “I-I’m okay, Mommy… I’m thirsty…” “She wants water! Call the doctor, hurry!” Claire said frantically. Zekiel moved quickly and handed Claire the water. “Hey, calm down, okay? You’re panicking too much,” the man said to the woman, holding her hand that was clutching the glass of water. Claire finally snapped back to reality and seemed to relax. “Our daughter is fine, take it easy,” Zekiel added with a smile, making her unable to re

“Are you even listening to me, Claire?!” “Yes, Kuya! Geez! I’m just thinking—if what you’re saying is true, then I believe it’s time for me to act.” Timothy frowned at Claire’s words. “Act? I didn’t tell you so you could take action, Claire! What’s wrong with you?” The young woman turned to look at him. “If I don’t act, then what? Should I just let my family suffer? Kuya, they’re after me, so I should be the one to end this.” Timothy stared at his friend in disbelief, seeing the seriousness in her expression. He hadn’t expected that along with the return of her memories, her stubbornness would come back too. “I won’t allow that. I’ll tell your brother about this.” Claire’s eyes widened at his words. “N-No! I was just kidding! I won’t do it, Kuya!” “You can’t fool me.” Timothy turned away, but Claire quickly grabbed his arm to stop him. “Kuya, come on! Kuya Clark told me Mom died because of those people!” Timothy froze and turned back to her. He saw tears streaming do
