The Billionaire's Mistake

Chapter 5

Three months passed. A lot of things change and I wasn't ready for it. The former clerk in HMC is now a cashier in a fast food chain. Yeah, that's right. Everything changed, even my job. I search and seek companies that hiring but none of them hired me. They said they will call me after one week but I didn't received any call or messages from them. I really need a job so I try something else. And now, I experience being a cashier but it was really tiring than my past job. I don't know why but these passed few weeks I get tired easily.

"How's work?" Mitch said as she arrange plates in the table

"Exhausting as always." I replied and help her to set up

I didn't come home in our house after I lost my job. I told them that I accompanied Mitch here in her apartment. I always said that I will be lived here so that I have someone to be with when I go to work and for me to save some money since Mitch's apartment is near my workplace and the transportation fare would be cheaper.

But the truth is I lived with Mitch cause I don't want to lie with my parents everytime I meet them. I don't want them to know how stupid their daughter is. I blame myself for my misfortune right now. If only I do better, my life would still be the same.

"The food is ready. I hope you'll it!" Mitch said and place a bowl of carbonara in our table

I start smelling the food before swallowing. The smell of it seems to be uncomfortable to me. I try to eat a little amount of it and try to swallow it but I immediately stand and go to the kitchen sink and vomit it.

I don't know but my stomach can't seem to eat that. There is something about the food that I don't like. I quickly washed up and returned to the dining table.

"Are you okay?" she said worriedly. "Is there something wrong with what I cook or am I just not good at cooking?"

"It's not like that, Mitch. I just feel really sick."

"These past few days you rarely eat, huh. You don't like almost everything I cook. Last time I cooked soup, you didn't like it, now it's pasta." she said sadly

"Promise there's nothing wrong with your cooking, Mitch. I've always known that you cook well. Maybe I just don't have the appetite. Also, the food seems to smell different these past few days."

She took the carbonara and smelled it thoroughly. "Huh? It's nothing. I'm sure it's not a sweaty duck, I just cooked it." her eyebrows furrowed

"As long as it smells different, I don't like it."

"Wait, do you often get dizzy?" she asked in surprise

"Yes, even at work. My boss always asks me if I'm sick and why I'm like that." I said while looking directly at her

I can see so much curiosity in her eyes. She sit in the chair near here and look at me like as if I commit a crime.

"When was your last period?" she squinted her eyes at me

"Umm I can't remember the exact date but it was a while ago before Mr. Henson fired me."

"That's suspicious...How about after that night with the stranger?"

"As I said earlier I didn't get my period, even after what I did at the bar." I rolled my eyes at her. Why she keep asking me? Does it contribute to what I feel right now?

"I have some extra pregnancy test in my room. Use it." she said then immediately run to her room.

She handed me the pregnancy test. I was really confuse right now and also a little bit nervous. I'm not pregnant. No, it can't be!

"I don't need this. I often experience irregular periods. There's nothing strange about it."

"Just incase Scarlet. We need to be sure. You experience some signs and symptoms of being pregnant." she hold my hand and convinced me

"I-I'm sure this is normal. I'm not taking it Mitch." I return the pt to her but she refuse

"Go, try it. There's nothing wrong with seeking the truth."

I just look at her for second. I thought she would take it back again but I was wrong. I left no choice but to try this pregnancy test. I go to the bathroom and follow it's instructions. After a few minutes, I go back to the dining area while holding the pregnancy test kit. I covered with my hands cause I don't want to see the result of it. I'm to scared and nervous. My heart can't stop pounding cause any moment I might become a mother right now or not. But I hope I'm not. I want a child but not right now. I want it in the perfect time where I can ready myself to become a mother.

I gave the pt to Mitch to see her reaction. For a moment, I was shocked to see that see was crying so hard. She's crying and smiling at the same time.

"What's the result?" I was waiting for her answer despite the nervousness I feel.

"OMG! It's positive Scar! You're pregnant!" she said then hugs me tight

I was left dumbfounded. I didn't know what to reply. That statement can't sink in to my mind. It's not. It is impossible.

I'm pregnant.

I can't believe I'm a mother right now. I still don't know how to become one but perhaps I'll learn it anytime by now. However, it is still hard for me to accept that I will carry a child despite of my situation. If I can't sustain my own needs then what will happened to my baby? Will I be able to raise him or her? I can't even take care of myself then I now I would take care of my own flesh and blood.

"Who's the father?" Mitch asked me

That question hits me a lot.

The father.

He should know about this. I need a support from him to raise this child.

But I don't know him either.

"I don't know, Mitch."

"Are you f*cking with anyone?"

"No of course! I only have s*x with the stranger in Sam's bar!"

"Oh he must be the father."

"But I don't know his name Mitch" I frowned

"And that's our problem. How can we look for the father of that child if you don't know what's his name. You're stressing me too much scar." She said in a sarcastic voice

"I know. Sorry, I should be careful."

"Let's just discuss about this another time. Let's just watch some movies for us to relax. Stress is not good for the baby."

We go to the living room and sat at the couch. I'm still upset with my situation right now. I don't know if I can relax by this moment. I'm still overthinking about my future with this child I'm carrying.

Mitch plug in the tv and a news flashed in the screen. It was an interview with a well-known billionaire and business. I scrutinized his face for a while and something pops in my mind.

He look familiar.

I think I've seen him before.

In a place where people are dancing wildly and liquors are everywhere.

In the bar.

"Mitch!" I shouted at her

"What?" she averted her gazed at me

"It's him." I point out the guy in the interview

"Huh?" she look so confused with my actions

"The father of my child!"

She look at the guy and laugh so hard.

"It's okay Scar. I know dreaming is free so you can do that." she chuckled

"No Mitch I'm dead serious! He's the one whom I got s*x at the bar!"

"Are you crazy? Him? Zack Theodore Roosevelt, the richest businessman and billionaire? He would never go to the bars we go to. Come on Scar I know your not in good shape right now but it's not proper to accused someone to be the father of your child." she said sarcastically

"I'm telling the truth Mitch! I think I have a photo with him in my phone." I look at my phone and scroll in my gallery. To my surprise, we really have a selfie. It was the time I was too drunk and I wasn't aware of what I was doing. He was holding my waist while I was a holding a wine glass.

"So it's true?OMG! You're lucky Scar! You've been f****d by a billionaire!"

"Shh I ain't lucky. How am I supposed to tell him that we will going to have a child?"

"Let's go to his company tomorrow. I'm sure he still recognize you."

"But that's just one night. He probably forget me now."

"Let's just try, okay?"

This is so bad.

I got pregnant and the father is a freaking hot and handsome billionaire.
