PREGNANT BY THE RUTHLESS CEO

CHAPTER NINE

Zelda's eyes widened.

"You are pregnant?"

Amelia shook her head. "I am not sure, but I think so."

Zelda pulled her into a comfortable hug. Amelia snuggled into her 19 year old sister,her mind chaos.

If she truly was pregnant,she could not let Roman know.

"Tomorrow,let's go for a test sis,lets be sure,"

"Okay,"

"Amelia,you are not alone, okay? You have me and mum. " zelda spoke affectionately, and a voice with a kind of comfortable only family could provide.

Amelia lay her head on Zelda's shoulder. She didn't know she was crying until her tears dropped on Zelda's shirt.

"I am scared. I dont know what to do if it comes out positive. "

Zelda patted her.

Unlike amelia,Zelda had a reassuring mindset,she believed everything required time.

Sometimes, Amelia wondered who was older. Zelda was smart and quick in decision, unlike her.

"Sis,you are such a crybaby. When we find out,we would know what to do." Amelia only stared. With trembling hands,she hugged her sister back.

" Dont worry,everything will be fine,"

Meanwhile,at Roman's residence.

He sat in his large living room,he stared at the laptop as if he himself was possessed.

"Food is ready, sir." His cook,Mrs. Franklin spoke softly, standing beside him.

"Oh,Mrs. Franklin,a minute." He didn't raise his head.She went back,up minutes had passed.

She looked back at him,eyes filled with soft admiration.Her boss was really a workaholic.

Meanwhile,Carolina sashayed herself into the sitting room.

Roman raised his head when he heard her high-pitched voice.

She rushed to hug him. He froze. This was not the first time there were hugging,heck, they had kissed before, but right now,it simply did not feel right.

She sat beside him,not noticing his internal conflict.

"I am sorry for leaving like that yesterday."

"It's fine,babe."

She caressed his face softly.Pushing his hair covering his face backward,she slowly leaned in to place a kiss on his lip. He turned sideways, letting the kiss land perfectly on the cheeks.

She frowned,trying not to snap. "Babe?"

He slowly looked at her.uninterested. Like he was already bored.

"I just dont feel right. I will be back." He quickly stood up,rushing upstairs before she could say anything.

He needed to get his s**t together.

He slammed his door and stood behind it.

Oh God. Why was Amelia in his head. She just won't leave,ever since two days ago,he wanted to see her.

Maybe ask how she was,or just see her face.

He sat down on the bed wondering if he was betraying Carolina, the girl whom he owed his life to.

4 years ago,he was driving back from town with his sister,juli, in the passenger seat. It was raining,they were driving on a bridge when another car swerved into their laughter, causing Roman to react quickly and avoid collision.

But it was already too late,their car had crashed through the bridge,falling below,into the water.They landed near the riverbank, Miraculously.

His sister screamed, still echoed in his head whenever he recalled what happened.

Juli survived the impact but was trapped at the back seat,blood gushing out of her forehead.

Roman managed to come out,eyes blurry. He was bleeding badly,he tried to help his sister out, but he was losing consciousness.

He wondered if this was the end.

On the river bank end,Amelia, who was returning from work and had come to clear her head, sat near nature. She sighted the car turned upside down.Panic made her breathe itch. Without thinking,she rushed towards it,seeing juli inside unconscious.

She helped juli out of the car,without knowing who she was.

Then she looked back at the water,almost 5 minutes after saving juli to see Roman far away,slipping into the water unconsciously.She ran back,using her little strength to help him towards the shore.

She had begun to cry,not knowing what to do.

Roman looked worse than juli. She screamed out for help as she sighted people coming.

She pressed down his tummy for a few minutes before Roman coughed out.

Still fuzzy,she stepped back, rushing to juli, who was still bleeding. People had begun to gather.

"Call 911!" Someone screamed,

She did the same, and juli began coughing out blood and water.

With blurry eyes,Roman held her hand weakly.

"Thank..you-"

He said,tears filled eyes,people had gathered,juli and Roman were rushed into the car.

People thanked her,but she was barely responsive and exhausted.

She fell down, losing consciousness. But the ambulance had left,so she was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Carolina somehow found Roman's wallet and suitcase.It had floated to another part of the town.

Still intact,she decided to return it.

Phoning the number,it disconnected, but she saw his ID and his grandma's number, so she phoned her and rushed to the hospital to see Grandma Pia.

She sat with grandma,assuring her that Roman would be fine. As Grandma Pia thanked her,Roman woke up.

"You... saved me?"

She froze but didn't correct him.His grandma also assumed caro saved her son so she didn't object.

Juli,who should have known was really traumatized,she remembered a lady pulling her from water but because she was disoriented and frightened, she doesn't remember the lady's face..

Roman thought it was Carolina from the beginning, but the girl who saved him was also unconscious. Her condition worser because she was a person who caught cold easily. Amelia remembers everything about herself,but the incident was completely wiped out of her memory.

Back to the present,Roman sighed. He felt anger pull towards amelia but at the same time..

Two months after his drowning incident,Carolina stayed,took care of him, but he thought she was caring. But she knew who he was all along.

She had first asked for a job, and he found one for her. Later, she said she was interested in modeling,she didn't force him yet with emotional blackmail

Tested waters and even brought a lie that she was being maltreated at her house, and he needed to help her.

He introduced her to the modeling industry, helping her get fame. Like she always wanted.

But then,she wanted more. Marriage and he had logically thought it was the best thing to do.

He found Carolina caring and kind, and she was smart, but only if he knew she was a great pretender.

Now,he felt bad for 2anting another woman who was not Carolina. He sighed, making up his mind to stop thinking about Amelia.

She was just a phase. The one night stand meant nothing.

He tried convincing himself as he walked downstairs, slowly taking his time

He sighted Carolina on the dining table.She had just finished eating.

"Shirley!" She barked Mrs. Franklin's name makes him frown. He had told her not to do that before.

"Ma."

Roman's breath itch when Carolina poured the cold juice over his housekeeper's head.

"Were you deaf! I told you to get me iced orange juice!" Carolina spoke rudely, staring at her like she was dirt.

"I apologize, ma,I thought you said-"

"Carolina!" Roman cold voice made her froze. She turned slowly,"your maid is so incompetent! You should fire her baby."

"Carolina,what you just did,its wrong! Mrs, Franklin is family,not just a maid!" Carolina froze, this was the first time Ro,and as yelling at her so angrily.

She glaced at mrs. Franklin with disgust then turned sweetly facing Roman.

"Don't try this next time"

"Mrs. Franklin, I apologize "

"No sir,you don't have to." She softly spoke before going to get the cleaning tools.

He stared at Carolina wondering why she was always acting this way.

Sometimes nice,other times,she acted like a b***h.

She noticed he was staring at her strangely so she quickly apologized.

"I am sorry babe,I was just stressed and took it out on her." She pouted at the end holding his face in her hand.

Hisnhand reluctantly held her as he muttered.

"Its fine,just learn to respect people." She nodded.

"I will take you to see Grandma later today." She beamed, eyes filled with happiness.

"Okay baby,"

When Amelia returned from the clinic,the doctor's word echoed in her ears.

"You are 1 week pregnant, stay away from stress and eat more. "

She had burst into tears there. Zelda had tried to pacify her. But she wasn't crying because of the pregnancy.

It was the complication that came with it. She was a virginity untillnthe night she had s*x with Roman.

She was pregnant with Roman's Voss's child.
