My CEO, My Baby Daddy

CHAPTER 2

Ava

A summer in the big city, the sun is shining, the streets are bustling and everyone has a smile on their faces as they carry out their various businesses, it wasn't the same for me because I was sitting in the waiting room at the hospital waiting for the doctor to announce my test results.

It's been two months since I last saw my menstruation and I'm scared, I decided to run a test to find out what went wrong.

"Miss Ava, you are pregnant" the Doctor announced and I felt tears lurking in the corner of my eyes, my heart broke and I could feel my legs trembling. I was so sad and moody as I left the hospital.

"What should I do?"

"Why did I get myself into this mess"

I asked myself as I ran my hands through my hair, I was so scared, it's been two months since the incident that happened at Tasha's birthday party, and all I feel is pain as I remembered it.

I'm eighteen and I just got into college a few months ago, I'm not ready to be a mother, I can't cope with the stress that comes with being a teenage mom.

"I didn't get myself pregnant, I have to find the father of my child" I muttered.

How can I find him, I don't have his information or know anything about him.

Even if I find him, he might not remember or recognize me, I could remember that he was reeking of alcohol and was equally as drunk as I was and I left the room before he woke up.

I decided to visit the club where the party was held.

"We are sorry, we can't help you with the information you are looking for," one of the workers said to me and that was when I broke down, the tears that were lurking at the corner of my eyes fell freely down my cheeks. It felt as if my heart had been broken by a sledgehammer.

"What should I do?, I need to inform my parents"

I know they will kill me for disappointing them but I have no choice, I still have to let them know. I got into the taxi still crying and the driver felt for me, he wanted to ask me what the problem was but figured out that I wasn't in the mood to answer.

A life is growing inside me, and the thought of that scared s**t out of me, I rubbed my hands on my belly trying to get used to the whole situation but I couldn't. I arrived at my house shivering, my eyes were emitting fear, fear of the unknown, fear of what my father would do to me.

Finally, I mustered up courage and broke the news to them.

"Bang!" a slap rested on my face causing me to fall to the floor and I shrieked, my eyes filled with tears. Aurora ran to me trying to help me get on my toes.

"You are a disappointment to me! Why can't you be like your sister!" My father's voice echoed, he was so furious, and at a very sensitive and emotional moment like this, he was still comparing me to my sister.

"Who's responsible for this pregnancy?" He asked while staring at me with so much disdain.

I wish I knew who was responsible, I wish I could give him a name and let him handle the issue by himself but I couldn't, the only thing I could remember was his face and nothing else.

"I... don't.. know. anything about him" I tried not to stutter but I ended up stuttering.

"You will abort this pregnancy!" His voice rang into my ear and I raised a brow in shock.

No! I can't do that, I can't go through the pains and consequences that come through abortion, I have heard several cases where people die during abortion and I don't want to fall prey to that.

I shifted my gaze to my mom who was sitting on the sofa in the sitting room without uttering a word, the look on her face showed that she was disappointed in me, I was expecting her to say something or save me from my father's rage but she didn't.

"Abortion is the only option you have, no man wants to marry a single mother," My mom said to me and I felt a pain surge through my skin.

"I can't do that!, It's risky". My reply infuriated my Dad more and he tried to hit me again but Aurora concealed me at her back so that he wouldn't raise his hands on me.

"Your sister is getting married to a wealthy man and I also want you to do the same, no wealthy man will marry you if you are with a child," he said with a hoarse voice. I know it, I know that they are trying to endanger my life because of their selfishness, he wants to sell me off to one of his business partners just like he did to my sister.

"I can't do that!" I stood my ground, I don't know what came over me but I wasn't ready to endanger my life.

"You have to consider having an abortion, that's the only option you have," My sister said to me. From her face, I could tell she was so worried about me, we weren't so close to each other while growing up but I can't deny the fact that she's been so supportive and caring towards me.

"I disown you, leave my house!" My father commanded and I was broken, I wasn't expecting him to go that far. I pleaded with him to spare me and give me a roof over my head but all my pleas fell on deaf ears, he refused to listen to me and insisted that I consider having an abortion but I refused.

I packed my bags and left the house in tears, it's not like I have enough money to Carter for myself and my unborn child or get a roof over my head but it was worth it.

"I can't let an innocent child suffer because of my mistake, I will do whatever it takes to survive," I thought before leaving the house.
