ROWAN•.
“Another day another headache that I cope with it”, I huffed out as I got out of the shower, I was stressed enough as it was and this painful ache in my head won’t go awayOr it might be the fact that I ran into my ex who was terrorizing a waitress in a restaurant, even though she was a beautiful woman, she had an awful attitude when pissed off.I looked at the sunrise soaking into my penthouse glass windows, I turned on the TV to see the stock claims on the King’s enterprises going up,That is right, I was the CEO of a billion-dollar company, King’s Enterprise, Rowan king,I walked to be empty kitchen to start myself a hot needed black coffee on the coffee machine to start my day, I needed to get rid of the knot I was feeling lately,Maybe it was the stress?My thoughts dwindled when I heard my phone buzz on the counter, I picked it up immediately as it was my little sister,“ Hello, Raya? Good Morning.” I called to her as I took a sip, my eye moved to the clock to see it was seven already, so I marched into my room to the walk-in closet to get my clothes ready for the day.“ Rowan, why haven’t you called mom? It looks like you are avoiding her, And she is giving me a headache for that, and now I have to give updates on you” she whispered, making me laugh.“ No, I’m not avoiding her Raya”..yes I was, but she didn’t need to know that, my mom always disturbed me when I would settle down. I was done getting different girls into my bed, and when she would get a grandchild, after that incident, I didn’t want to even think of it,The questions were a total pain in the ass and weren’t helping,“ then you wouldn’t mind talking to me now would you?” I heard another familiar voice ask over the phone,And before I could protest, I heard shuffling and whispering on the other line as the phone was passed,“ hello dear,” my mom said with a too eerily sweet voice, damn it, I hissed,“ …morning Mom,” I called as I let the phone lay on the cabinet I put on some clothes,In a fact, I knew she was pissed that I don’t listen to her, I left home as soon as I turned nineteen and got my place, working up the company chain, I proved myself to my father and wasn’t just given the role of overnightAnd I was 30 now, the youngest CEO in New York, and still a Bachelor, and my mother is hellbent on getting me a wealthy and influential bride,“ Honestly Rowan, why do you keep avoiding this, why do you keep avoiding me”“ I’m not mom, I have been busy, and we have the shareholder's meeting coming up and everything?”“ Then have dinner with me later?”“When I’m less busy, I have to go” I sighed before I cut the phone, ever since my father Got sick and passed away, I had distanced myself from her,she, too, had become cold and power-hungry at the point my father died, she was desperate to see only our family line continue the family business that my father had started,I felt sorry for her in a way, I didn’t believe in love, and nor did I have the time to waste on it.I dress up sharp in Italian tailored gray suit, pairing it with shoes before I stepped into the elevator of my penthouse apartment, that was the only way you could access this floorI got into my BMW and sped into the busy streets, driving to the tall skyscraper that read ‘King’s enterprise’ was just a few meters away,I entered my office not caring to talk to anyone, as I was still in a seething mood from this headache, I Got to work immediately, going to a meeting and signing files and budgets for the year's term,The door of my office opened up, and I looked up to see it was Keith Rogers, a long-time friend of mine and the current CFO of the company, he always had a playful beaming smile on his face, it irked me to wonder what he was smiling about“ I figured you would still be here” Keith called as he strolled into my office and casually sat down, he loosened his tie, which meant work hours were overI barely looked at the time that had passed, it was now eight o’clock and past closing time“ what do you want Kieth” I sighed, leaning into my swivel chair and turning it to look at my friend“ dude, you look like a wreck, you work too much, hell I’m saying that I’m the CFO, you don’t look too good”“ I don’t feel good too, but I’m very busy, but I’m sure it will go away”“ Let loose a little!” he voiced out as he stood up a waved his hands in the air,“ come out with me, you need to let out all that pent-up frustration!”He called to me, his offer was very tempting, I’ve had my share of fun and whenever it was time to work I put my whole mind into it, but he was right, I was pent-up with frustrationI let out a big smile before I turned to him, “a drink or two wouldn’t hurt, right?”“ Exactly! And I have the perfect place we can go, Rowan, it's going to be a crazy experience”!“ Lead the way”.Mark wasn’t joking about the crazy part, we made our way into a VIP elevator of the ‘Magenta club’ the exquisite designs containing minimal yet cool colors of black and white made me intriguedWe were led to an open space where drinks were poured occasionally, I took shot after shot, not minding the effect on me, I wanted to be drunkI stopped midway when I noticed that Keith was standing being let to another door,“ hey” I called to him, and he turned back to me with his eyebrow raised“ what aren’t we going to the same place”“ to give a better experience to their VIP customers we all have resting rooms, don’t worry a girl will come in soon please you too”He explained, and I’m sure the ‘pleasing’ part was fucking the girl, he held up two fingers to his head in a playful salute before he went to his room and I stood up and collected my key card to the room that was labeled ‘room 107’I walked into the room, taking in the ambiance that put me at ease, I drunkenly stumbled onto a chair, before I then unclamped my buttons and removed my tie, and lay down on it to rest,I heard a soft knock on the door, and before I told the person to come inThe person at the door was not quite the person or image that I expected, it was…. Amber? Her eyes met my gray ones, she was sexy, very sexy and my cock twitched in delight.I don’t know if I was dreaming of my ex or hallucinating her, but I was very surprised and horny to see her hereI took in her sexy frame, she was dressed in lingerie that held her curved tightly showing off and hugging her perky breast, her sinful lips were painted a red alluring color that only made me imagine biting them until her naturally pink lips showedand I wanted her lips to be around my cock, I wanted to have her under me, she was a dreamAnd God, I wanted her,EMMA•…“ don’t be nervous” Amy whispered as she entered the private dressing room at the back of the club, and in her hands were very revealing clothes, that I was supposed to wear.These were worn to serve drinks and were so scantily designed I had to hold a gasp from slipping out when I took a good glance at the dress, I couldn’t wonder what the sex workers would wear if servers were things like this!Amy had helped me out after my answer to her that would work there, and she got a spot for me the very next day, I left immediately after my shift in the restaurant, took shower, and headed to ‘Magenta Club’The lingerie and tight dress fit snugly on my body, the dress barely covered by girly bits, that was how scandalous it was, I had to admit, it hugged my curved I was always covered with clothes, and she was superb in makeup. I let her play around with my looks and curl my long hair for it to rest softly on my back.She let out a contented smile when she looked at my face“ you are
EMMA•…I woke up the next morning feeling cold, I shuffled around the bed to look for a blanket to cover my body even as my eyes were closed, Wait, I paused, this didn’t even feel like my bed. I opened my eyes instantly and sat up so fast I almost had a whiplash, to see I was in an unfamiliar room, I looked at my body to see that I was naked, and my lingerie was scattered across the bed and floor“ Oh my God, what have I done?!” I whispered in a panic, the memories of last night all came crashing back, and I felt hot shame cover me like a hot blanket,I slept with a stranger! “ You’re so stupid, Emma!” I called to myself as I hit my head several times with my palm, I felt so sore as I stood up from the bed,I peered in the mirror to see my body Littered with love bites, I was appalled, What made me behave that way with a stranger? Oh my God!I looked to the side to see a note and a small envelope, it read“ for your work”, what the hell? This person was very rude, or he didn’t eve
“ What?”Emma whispered, her eyes moving to her belly and back to the doctor, she also looked at Mr. Jonathan who took that as a signal to leave the room“ Doctor! I can’t be pregnant, how?”“ The baby is already three weeks old Miss smith, we checked your pulse and did some blood work on you, and it came out positive for pregnancy, you must be overwhelmed with the news,” the doctor told her before he left But Emma wasn’t listening,“ no, No! This is not happening to me!” she couldn’t believe it, she was pregnant with a stranger she knew absolutely nothing about, not even his name! Thoughts of him came to her mind from time to time, only when she passed his gray jacket she had hanged up in her houseBut this was something else beyond her power, the door opened again and this time it was Amy who rushed into the room,Her eyes met with Emma, she saw her w distraught Emma looked and ran to her, pulling her into a tight hug“ What happened?”“ How are you here, Amy?”“ Your boss called me
~~~ • Amy reached emmas apartment very quickly after Emma told her she wanted to meet the father of her child, barging straight for Emma’s door the moment she got to the house. “ Are you crazy?!?” Amy shouted the moment she unlocked the door of emmas home, walking in to see Emma pacing about in the living room, “I feel like it’s the best thing to do for the child, I’m going to contact him” she says quietly. “How are you even going to find him do you even know his name Emma,” Amy asked her frantically “I don’t know, but I will meet him, he can’t just vanish into thin air” “ But now Emma, why did you think of him, did something happen?” “..I got fired at work by Mr. Jonathan, he knows I’m pregnant and he does not see a pregnant woman as an asset to his business, saying u would slow him down..so I got laid off” “ How can he do that?! After you worked so hard! Oh my God he is an awful human being and will regret letting you go, I can’t believe him , he is such a bastard” Amy mutt
EMMA••I don’t know what to feel after that just happened, I never knew Rowan would be such a jerk, he tore through my dignity like it was nothing, making me look like a liarI should have expected this, but that didn’t make it hurt less, he made me feel like a gold digger which I wasn’tI just wanted to meet him, selfish part of me wanted to know who I gave myself to, I wanted to see the person I had sex with, and now I did, I walked out of the company in low spirits, calling a cab and heading straight to the hospital, even though my mom wasn’t awake, she was still my rock and I wanted to talk to her But as I went to the hospital I saw doctors rushing and out of the room with machines and injections, My heart started beating fast, “ excuse me what’s happening?” I shouted to a nurse that passed her, “ the patient had an attack, we’re doing everything we can miss, so you have to wait”I could only stand helpless as doctors tried to revive my mom, even the hundred thousand dollars I
ROWAN*From the moment I opened my eyes I knew that I was fucked, I saw myself laying on an unfamiliar bed with a woman at my side, she was asleep and last night’s memories all came back rushing to me, as I sat up from the bed.“fucking hell”, I uttered as I leaned on the headboard, my eye moved back to the woman’s small frame, her back was turned away from me, so I couldn’t get a good glimpse of her face, but I saw the bite marks and hickeys I left on her skin that made me appalled by what I did, I couldn’t believe I drank so much I fucked I woman who I hallucinated and thought was my fucking ex, I stood up took my things, drew a check from my jacket, and wrote check with a hefty sum of a hundred thousand dollars, hoping that she would see it as good compensation from last night, I was still hungover everything still felt disorientedI had work to do, but I didn’t waste time and left the private room of club magenta quickly, I made a quick note to myself not to listen to Keith so o
•“What is the meaning of this?” Rowan raged as he looked between his mom and Emma, his mother had a calm exterior, as her hands reached out elegantly to take a sip out of her pristine white teacup, she seemed the least affected by her son’s rageHis eyes reached to the contract laid on the table and back to his mother “what is she doing here?” he fumed, pointing an accusatory hand toward Emma who looked like she was hoping for the ground to swallow her up, His mom let out a big sigh before she faces him, she had a feeling he would react like this, “she is carrying your child Rowan, and I wanted to talk with her” his mother urged Rowan who did not want to hear about it, he didn’t care, he was angry his mom reached out to Emma without him, he knew she was lying from the document that was laid on the table, “you do not know her mom, she is a mere stranger, she may be lying”“And what if she isn’t?” she asked that made him keep quiet, he glared coldly at Emma who looked like she would
EMMA*The car ride felt silent and heavy, and even though I knew he deeply opposed it, Rowan reluctantly drove me back to my apartment. Layla also told me that, as a bonus, she was going to pay for my tuition for the last year. And no matter how I tried to reject it, she insisted on it till I reluctantly agreed. I was eternally grateful, but I knew she was doing all this for a price, and that was the child in my belly. “I’m giving you not less than ten minutes to pack your bags,” he instructed. He didn’t even look at me; I didn’t say anything, but Rowan knew I understood. God, I wanted to slam that freaking car door right in his face. He was so arrogant. I walked up the steps, and that was when I realized I had kept my phone silent the whole day. I opened it to see text messages and calls from Amy. I rushed to check my bag, fishing out my keys in a hurry. I didn’t know if he was bluffing or if he was going to come to find me, so I was going to be fast. I opened the door, turned on t
