CHAPTER ONE
GINA
“Congratulations, ma'am. You're six weeks pregnant.”
The doctor's words hit me like a slap.
My eyes widened as I stared at him, completely frozen.
Pregnant?
No, That was impossible.
I slowly opened my eyes, trying to understand where I was. A doctor stood beside my bed, holding a file, while a strange woman stood behind him with a smile on her face.
My brows furrowed.
I knew that woman.I just couldn't remember where I'd seen her.
“What... what did you say?” I whispered, my voice low and shaky.The doctor glanced at the woman before looking back at me.
“You're pregnant, ma'am.”he announced once more
My heart stopped.
Pregnant?
Six weeks?
I stared at him, waiting for him to laugh and tell me that it was some kind of mistake.
But he didn't.
“No.” I shook my head immediately. “That's not possible. I've never had s****l i*********e with any man. So how could I possibly be pregnant?”
My voice trembled as panic settled inside me.
The woman finally stepped forward.
I stared at her carefully.
Something about her face was familiar.
Then it hit me ,I'd seen her before.
At the restaurant where I used to work.
But why was she here?
And why was she standing inside a hospital room while a doctor was telling me I was pregnant?
“Hello, Gina.”The moment she said my name, a chill ran down my spine.
“Who are you?” I demanded sternly
She only smiled at me.
“Don't be angry with me.”
That sentence alone made my stomach twist.
“What did you do?”
She hesitated for a moment before speaking.
“I had you artificially inseminated.”
My mouth fell open.
“What?”
“I injected you with my son's sperm while you were unconscious.”
For a moment, I couldn't breathe.
Then rage exploded through me.
“You WHAT?!”
I tried to sit up, but the sudden movement made my head spin. I grabbed the edge of the bed, trying to steady myself.
“You drugged me and did this to me without my permission?!”
The woman didn't even look ashamed.
Instead, she calmly adjusted her handbag as though we were discussing something completely normal.
“I assure you, Gina, the father of your baby is an extremely wealthy man. He'll make sure you're taken care of.”
I stared at her in disbelief.
“Taken care of?”
I almost laughed.
“You think money makes this okay?”
“No.”She sighed.
“But my son is stubborn. He refused to give me grandchildren. He doesn't know what he's missing.”
I stared at her as though she'd lost her mind.
“So you chose me?”
“I found out about you when you were working at that restaurant.”
She moved closer.
“I watched you for weeks. I saw the way you treated people. You were kind even when nobody was watching.”
Her smile widened.
“I knew you were the one.”
My hands curled into fists after hearing that.
“You don't know me.”
“I know enough.”
“No, you don't!” I snapped. “I have a boyfriend. I have plans for my future. You can't just destroy my life because you wanted a grandchild!”
For the first time, her smile disappeared.
“You'll understand eventually,” she said, as if what she had done was completely normal.
“I will never understand this.”
I pushed the blanket away and tried to stand.
The doctor immediately stepped forward.“Ma'am, you need to remain calm.”
“Don't tell me to remain calm!” I snapped so f*****g mad.
Tears burned my eyes.
Someone had made a decision about my body without me.Someone had decided that my future didn't matter.
And now I was the one expected to deal with the consequences.
I wiped my eyes angrily.
“Who is he?” I demanded.
The woman went silent.
“Who is the father?”i asked again looking at her
She exchanged a look with the doctor.That only made my heart pound harder.
“I'm asking you a question!” I snarled
She finally looked at me.
“My son is Alexander Black.”The name meant nothing to me.
“And who exactly is Alexander Black?”
The woman stared at me for a moment.Then she said something that made my blood run cold.
“He's one of the richest men in the country.”
I swallowed.
“I don't care how rich he is,” I muttered stubbornly.
I hated this whole thing, I wish I I was never in this place. I need my boyfriend not a new husband.
“You will when you meet him.” she replied and I chuckled dryly
“I don't want to meet him.”I spoke clearly this time."And I don't want anything from him.”
Her expression suddenly became serious.
“You don't have a choice.” she replied staring at me .
My heart pounded.Before I could respond, the hospital door opened.
A man stepped inside the room. He was Tall,Impossibly calm and he was dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit.
The entire room seemed to change the moment he entered.His cold eyes swept across the room before landing on me.
I'd never seen him before.
But somehow, I knew he was the father of the baby growing inside me.
Alexander Black.
His gaze dropped briefly to my body before returning to my face.There was no warmth in his expression.
Just cold calculation.
He really looks he's one of those cold a-ssed billionaire's
“Who is this woman, and why did you call me?” he asked raspy
I stared at him.
So Wait!He doesn't know me?
His mother smiled.
“Meet the mother of your unborn baby, Alex.”
The moment she broke the news, his expression changed.
His jaw tightened.Then he looked at me again.
“What?”His voice was dangerously calm.“Don't tell me you gave her my sperm.”
My eyes widened.
And suddenly, I realized something.
His mother hadn't told him.
She had done everything behind his back.
Alexander's eyes narrowed as he stared at his mother.
“Mother.”
She didn't respond.
“Tell me you're joking.”he spoke with a hint of shock
She simply smiled.
I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could, a woman appeared behind him.She walked into the room confidently, her hand slipping around his arm.
“Alexander,” she said softly.
He turned toward her ,then she looked at me.
Her eyes immediately narrowed.
The warmth on her face disappeared.
“Who is she?” she suddenly asked
I looked at Alexander.
He didn't answer.
The strange woman who had brought me here simply smirked.The woman beside Alexander tightened her grip around his arm.
“Alexander,” she repeated, her voice colder this time. “I asked you a question.”
He finally looked at her.Before he could say anything, his mother spoke.
“Oh, I'd like you to meet Gina, Alexander's baby mama.”
The woman's eyes widened.
“What?”
Her voice suddenly rose.
“No! How could you let this happen, Alexander? Huh?”
She stepped away from him, staring between him and me.
“I'm supposed to give you children, not a nobody like her!”
I flinched at her words.
It seemed like she was his girlfriend.
His eyes were still fixed on me.
There was something in his expression that made my stomach twist.
He hated me.
But I hadn't even done anything.I was just as shocked as he was.
“I didn't know about this,” Alexander finally said, his voice cold with anger.
His mother shrugged.
“I knew you'd object.”she muttered
“You think?”His eyes hardened .
“You drugged a woman and had her carrying my child without telling me.” he snapped
The room went silent.
For the first time, his mother looked slightly uncomfortable.But only for a second.
“You wanted a child,” she replied.
“I wanted you to have a grandchild,” he said coldly. “I never gave you permission to decide how.”
I stared at him.
Despite everything, those words caught me off guard.
He was angry.
So was I,And suddenly, I realized something.
Neither of us had chosen this.Yet somehow, we were both trapped in it.
I slowly placed a hand over my stomach.
There was a baby growing inside me.
A baby I had never planned for.
A baby connected to a man I'd never met before today.
And now I was standing in a room with the richest man in the country, his furious girlfriend, and the woman who had completely destroyed the future I'd planned for myself.
My eyes burned with tears again.
I'll make them pay . When my baby is born, I'll runaway and they'll never see me or my baby.
