A Night With Mr. CEO

Chapter 3

***Three months later

I rushed to the restroom for the upteenth time and puked over the toilet bowl.

I had been unable to digest anything properly as of in recent weeks.

If you were wondering about where I'd been throughout these past few months, I'd say the truth which was that I was still at a hotel in Cade city. All my work had to be communicated online since I no longer had the courage to return to flight city. But I did have the courage to go to a hospital. Recently, I had been feeling these symptoms which made me feel nauseous and extremely tired. I just hoped I wouldn't need more than an over the counter drug to tackle whatever was wrong in me.

I did the tests the doctor required of me and was told to go back the next day. When the next day arrived, I went for my result and what I read next in the envelope was not what I was expecting.

All the tests indicated that I was pregnant.

Fear, unlike before, proceeded to creep into my heart. A pregnancy was the least of my desires. How could it be that I was pregnant? Then I remembered the affair that I had with a perfect stranger at a bar in flight city. That must have been where I got pregnant from because I hadn't been intimate with my ex-husband until before my business trip.

I didn't know what to do with this information. I had no contact with the stranger, and for all I knew he could be a jobless nobody who had no future.

I had slept with someone else, but at what cost? I laughed to myself internally. I was such an i***t. Now that I thought of it properly, it was clear that my sister had won.

She had the husband and she was pregnant and according to the will of my grandmother, any sibling who had any of the above would be the one to take over her company.

Although I was still heading over the company, it was only a matter of time before it was taken from me.

As I drove away from the hospital, I noticed a TVS industrial company advert on the large tv screen in Cade city.

I couldn't help but sigh. I needed to do more with my company but I was too miserable to do so right now.

“What do I do?”

A tear fell from my cheek. I was three months pregnant, soon to be a mother but I had nothing to hope for. I wanted to just end it all.

I drove straight to the land hill that laid in front of me. I hoped out of the car and walked over to the hill with my heels. I looked down the hill and saw that it was nothing more than a barricade of nothingness beneath.

I exhaled, my heart beating fast but at the moment, leaving this world seemed like the most balanced thing to do.

“Yes,” I said to myself. “I have to do this.”

I recalled the moment since I was little up until this moment. I had been really hard working, but at what cost? At the end of the day? Life was vanity. I would lose it all anyway, so why not just quit my life right now?

I leaned forward and felt the stone under my feet roll over and fall into the pit. I took a step forward, looking down at my end. Then I leaped, only to feel a hand drag me back.

“What are you doing?”

I gasped for air and looked at the tall man who was now in front of me, staring me down.

He was wearing a pair of sunshade so I couldn't see his eyes, but he looked very familiar. I inhaled, having no words to say when it came to him.

“You…” I gasped as he removed his sunshade, revealing his eyes. I was then reminded of the night with that stranger. It was him!

“H-how,” I gasped but he looked at me sternly. “How dare you trespass on my land? Don't you know that this is private property?”

I didn't know what to say. But all I knew was that the faith I didn't have before slowly started to build up again.

“You…’’ I said again as he loosened his grip on me. He put back on his sunshade and turned to leave but I grabbed him by the side of his jacket. This wasn't a coincidence, it was a plan by the universe to give me a chance.

When he halted and turned back to me, I caught my breath and said, “I know you.”

“I'm sure you do.”

I furrowed my brow. Was he playing with me now?

I kept my grip on his shirt tight. “I'm pregnant.”

“What does that have to do with me?” He didn't look shocked at my statement, he didn't even look like he had anything to do with me.

“In flight city,” I rasped. “At the bar. I joined you for a drink—”

“—Whoa whoa whoa,” he cut me off. “I have no idea what you're talking about.”

“You do!” I said angrily. How dare he try to slight me.

“If you keep pretending to not know what I'm talking about, I'll tell the world about all the dark things you've involved yourself in. I'll pull down everything you have.”

He kept silent.

I continued, “I am the ceo of MVD international companies. I can ruin your life step by step you wouldn't even know what hit you. I'm not lying when I say I'm pregnant with your child.”

“I'm sorry Miss, but aren't you the one whose husband married your sister and impregnated her?”

I swallowed. So even he, knew my story?

“I'd rather not cause a fuss regarding this matter because it's sensitive and as well, because I feel a lot of pity for you.” he said cockily, making me feel embarrassed for even speaking.
