All Chapters of Set Path: My Baby is the CEO's Son: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Leaving home to start another work week, Rafaela Souza was surprised when her manager called her into the office to talk."Transfer?" she asked, still not understanding."That's right. The new director will need a secretary, and since you have many years of experience on your resume, we thought you would be the most suitable person for the job."Rafaela couldn't believe the news she had just received from her superior. Working for the CEO's son, who had just been appointed director of the company, was not in her plans. Even though she didn't know the famous Ethan Smith, she had already heard many strange things about him, in addition to people saying that he was not an easy person to deal with."I'm sure you'll do well, especially knowing that your salary will increase.""Really?" she asked excitedly, as she was interested as soon as she heard about money."That's right. Now go, your new boss is waiting for you. Tomorrow, there will be a reception to introduce him to all the employees,

Rafaela couldn't believe what she was seeing. The man with whom she'd had a wonderful night was none other than her new boss, Ethan Smith."What are you saying, Rafa?" Kate asked, not understanding anything. But Rafaela couldn't respond, as her eyes were fixed on Ethan, who was on stage at that moment, picking up the microphone to begin speaking."Thank you all for taking the time to welcome me. I count on your help and cooperation to continue making this real estate agency the best in the country."After delivering his thank-you speech, the department manager approached with a bouquet of flowers to present to the new director as a welcome gesture. Ethan was momentarily taken aback, and suddenly, his eyes searched for Rafaela in the auditorium. When he spotted her, he gave her an enigmatic look."He's allergic to flowers," she whispered."What?" Kate asked.Without answering, Rafaela immediately stood up and ran to the stage to take the flowers from the manager's hands. Her action caug

Sitting at the desk where she worked, Rafaela took a deep breath, trying to process what she had just heard."I was the one tasked with receiving the results of your tests, so I came here to tell you this," Kate said."Do you have any idea what you're telling me, Kate? This is terrible.""I know, friend, because we both know who the father of the child is.""Speak softly," she asked, as she didn’t know if Ethan was still in his office."What are you going to do?""I'm going to take another test, of course," she replied. "This kind of mistake happens all the time. We were careful. What bad luck it would be if I got pregnant by someone like him.""Then we’ll buy some pharmacy tests."When they got home, Rafaela ran to the bathroom to take the first test, which came back positive."These pharmacy things are not reliable," she said, opening the second one, which also came back positive."Friend, shall we accept that you are pregnant and move on to the next step?" Kate asked when she saw th

Rafaela knew that if she didn't leave immediately, she would end up vomiting in front of all those people."Excuse me," she said to Ethan, standing up and leaving immediately.Ethan stared at her seriously, not understanding her sudden change of mood as she hurriedly left, as if she were running away from something. Even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't, because she was already far out of sight.Entering the nearest restroom, she immediately started vomiting in the sink, emptying everything in her stomach. Of all the moments to start feeling the symptoms of pregnancy, this was the worst. How would she return to the table if just thinking about the dish served made her stomach turn again?"This can't be happening, please, baby, don't do this to me," she said, touching her belly, hoping maybe her baby would understand her distress."Hello, is someone there?" a female voice asked from outside. "Are you feeling alright?"Breathing a little and splashing water on her face, she ope

Since the next day was Saturday, Rafa had scheduled an exam to learn more about her pregnancy. Kate went with her, as she was the kind of friend who was there for any moment."Do you think we'll find out the gender already?" Kate asked excitedly."Of course not, it's just an ultrasound. This baby is probably still the size of a bean.""Oh, what a shame. I already wanted to buy a gift for him, or her," she laughed. "I hope it's a girl, so the house stays organized.""I don't care about the gender; I just hope it's a healthy baby," Rafaela replied."It will be, friend, don't worry."In the doctor's office, Rafaela was moved when she heard the baby's heartbeat. She had always imagined herself in that situation, but she never thought it would happen so quickly, and even more unexpectedly."Your baby is growing perfectly healthy, don't worry," the doctor said.This made her leave the office feeling calm."Now that we know everything is fine with our baby, how about we go out to distract our
