I got pregnant from CEO

chapter 8

Victoria Becker narrating:

I walked to the door and walked towards the street, the contractions started, but they were very weak, I started walking along the sidewalk in an attempt to find a taxi.

I think I've suffered so much during this time that God took pity on me and decided to make it easier, because right in front of me a taxi stops and one of my neighbors gets out.

I walk up to them and the woman looks at me scared, I don't think she knew I was pregnant, today she will have a lot of gossip to tell her friends.

— Guy take me to the hospital — I say sitting in the back seat and the man nodded before we left.

I moaned in pain softly when I felt a contraction, it was hurting a lot and I didn't know what to do.

After a few minutes of suffering, the driver finally speaks.

— Girl, we're here.

I took the money that I had already separated and paid it, opened the door and with great difficulty got out, the security guard ran towards me and helped me to walk because it was very complicated.

Soon a nurse came with a wheelchair and I sat down.

— Girl, where's your date? — she asked.

— I don't have —I said— I don't have anyone.

I started to cry as I gasped in pain, the woman looked at me and sighed.

— You are not able to sign any document, but at least tell me your name so that we can put it on the child's identification —she said.

— Victoria Mary Becker — I spoke or shouted, I was no longer in myself at that moment.

— Okay, I'll accompany you — she said, pushing me in the chair.

The next few hours were scary, I've never felt so much pain in my life, that nurse stayed by my side during the delivery and gave me strength, there are still good people in the world.

When I heard my daughter's cry it was impossible not to cry too, I knew that every sacrifice would be worth it, and it was, the moment I held her in my arms was the best thing in my life.

I was smiling like a fool, my heart was racing, she was perfect... her black hair and those little blue eyes.

But I had to say goodbye to her when they asked to take her, but they said they would bring her to me soon.

I went to the room after a few hours and waited for my baby, soon she arrived and the nurse, who was very nice to me, helped me to breastfeed Helena.

— Thank you for helping me.

— You don't need to thank her —she smiled affectionately— you seemed lost and scared, even more so without anyone to help you in such a difficult and, at the same time, so special moment.

— I will always be grateful to you. After Helena breastfed, she fell asleep, I put her in the small crib next to the bed and snuggled in it.

— You need to rest — said the woman in front of me covering me with a sheet— I'll let you sleep but if you need something just press that button and someone will come here.

I nodded and then she left.

I was exhausted, all my energy had been spent, after all, to go through a natural birth you need a lot of strength, quickly sleep and for some reason, I was feeling that from then on my life would change.

[...]

I was only in the hospital for two days and the doctor discharged me, Helena was healthy, and we were both fine, I was a little sore, but it would get better.

I leave the room with my baby in my arms and I find Abigail, who was the nurse who helped me.

— Are you leaving already? — asked, looking at the baby in my arms and smiling.

— Yes —smile— I wanted to thank you again, you were an angel in my life.

— No need to thank me, I want you and this little one to be well.

— Let's stay — I smiled and said goodbye to her.

I walked through those corridors seeing several pregnant women, some already heading towards the delivery room, I'm relieved that I've already been through that, it hurts a lot, and I'm glad that I don't have to go through that again, at least not for a while.

But as soon as I walk through the exit doors and onto the street, the shock of reality invades me, I have nowhere to go... I can't go back to that place and put my daughter or myself at risk.

I can't stay on the street with a newborn, either.

Lost and scared, she walked down the sidewalk without an exact direction, but when I realized I was standing in front of fitzy technology.

I look at all that, and I see that my daughter can have a good life, she can have everything I didn't have, and if that means I need to endure one more humiliation, then so be it.

I don't care if Marius, Cristian or anyone else humiliates me, but if there is even a 1% chance that she can grow up comfortable and have a decent life, I will humiliate myself.

So I go into that damned company, this time I won't talk to any receptionist, I'll have to sneak in and find Marius myself.

Upon entering, I see the receptionist busy on the phone, in front of her are two men in their expensive suits and exhaling the smell of money.

I managed to get in unnoticed, Cristian was right, this place is not for me, I'm just an unemployed woman in old clothes who just gave birth to a child, and if that wasn't enough, I still have bruises on my arms because of that bastard who tried to r**e me, I still can't believe my motherfucking father did that to me.

I go up the stairs, there are many floors, and it's only been two days since I had a baby, so it's been very difficult, but I don't give up, I keep climbing, step by step while Helena sleeps peacefully in my arms.

I finally reach the top floor, which is pretty obvious where Marius works. But when I open the door, I bump into someone and Helena starts to cry because she ended up getting scared.

— Look what you did — I said angry while trying to calm my daughter.

— Sorry, I was in a hurry and I didn't see you.

That voice... I know.

I looked up and faced him, Marius, he was in front of me as he looked at me attentively, but then his gaze went down to the baby in my arms.

— Marius...
