The interview in the C and S company was uneventful apart from the glares from different women that wanted the same position. I get into my apartment and go straight to the kitchen. I was starving. I decide to make some pasta amd some grilled chicken.
I'm used to the quiet life. Always alone. No friends. But for once I feel so lonely. Instinctively, I place my palm on my stomach and smile. Maybe I really need my baby. A thought of Sydney passes through my mind. I know he would be discharged two days. It is written on the papers with his face everywhere. I feel so compelled to go see him and me being me, I took my purse and left for the hospital.
Once I came out from the cab I start questioning myself. I always did things without thinking about the endings. I was sort of the 'actions now consequences later' type of girl. I had to live like this to survive.
'Look where that led you now. You're preg
I find Harry making some coffee and a glass of chocolate milk and pancakes on the side. It's been twelve days since we moved to this apartment that Harry bought since he wanted a break from traveling. Two weeks since I went to the hospital and a week since I got the job. I eat my breakfast so fast and rinse the dishes after Harry is done with his too and place them in the dish washer.Since I told Harry about my pregnancy, he has been a mother hen and so overprotective. He even drops me to work and picks me up. Most coworkers think that he's my boyfriend and we made no attempt to correct it. Maybe we just don't care to do it.We arrive the C and S Company building fifteen minutes later and as always Harry takes me to the building ensuring that I'll call him when I'm done. I really need to buy a car.Harry kisses my forehead before turning as I enter the building."I have to get myself a b
Turns out Mr Keels is handing over the company to me. Funny, I know. If a month and a half ago I would be told I'd be a rich pregnant heiress who was impregnated by Sydney Kings, I would laugh in your face and ask you to join a mental hospital. That's just sick. But here I am.Mr Keels explained how my mother wouldn't be the CEO since she got depressed and Jason was never interested with company work so Mr Keels took over until another suitable person would be found. Me.We agreed that since I'm pregnant I would only get to know how everything works and prepare myself to take over six months after my baby's birth.I take out my flowery sundress after taking a bath ready to go see my mother in the clinic. Jason should be here in twenty minutes and since I'm not applying any makeup that means more time for me.It's been a week since the meeting at the office and I told Jason and Mr Keels that I wou
Today Harry and I will be going for my appointment and later for some baby's shopping. It's 5am and I'm sleepless. I'm turning into an insomniac! I hold my tummy and caress it as if the baby can be seen as I think of how it would feel with its daddy here.I sigh. A girl can always dream. Sydney and I are just never meant to be.I take a cracker from my bedside table and take a bite before the morning sickness starts. I check the clock to find it's only five minutes past six.Should I go for a run? NO! I don't want the same incidences happening again. I still can't get over the fact that the person I had to save was the person responsible for all my morning sicknesses! What makes me furious is that he's enjoying a good night sleep with his fiancé while I'm here up like an insomniac and trying to have at least an hour of sleep.Talk about unfair lives.
I did tell Harry about Sydney and how he's engaged. I told him about the interview. What I never told Harry was his name. I never knew that our paths would cross so often after that hospital incident and Harry gave me space and never inquired who the person is. Looks like he figured it out. After all Sydney is engaged to Bianca and he's a CEO and he spoke about the awkward meeting with him at the clinic some five minutes ago.I look down at my fingers then back to Harry. "He is. He's the dad.""I noticed how you looked at each other. You were holding you're tummy whenever he was around you know." He chuckled at that then went silent after that."Fucking asshole." Harry sounds so pissed and his knuckles turns white with the force he's using to grip the steering wheel. Harry hardly ever swears since my adoptive dad never liked it and since we were always around him, we kept it at a minimal. So we never swore to
I marked twelve weeks long in my pregnancy calendar two days ago. The morning sickness has reduced tremendously and I am slightly showing. Harry and I have bought some of the baby's items even though we don't know the gender yet."Tonight we're going out for dinner. I have something to tell you and someone you need to meet." Harry tells me when we're having breakfast. Even though I want to nag him to tell me since he's made me so curious, I only nod. Harry never changes his mind when he decides anything. And lately he's been so secretive and weird. I knew he was hiding something but I never asked him about it. We both talk when we feel ready and we respect that since we have that in commonI finish my breakfast and take the dishes to the sink then bid Harry goodbye then head to my car. Harry has a photo studio that has been picking up for the last month and he seems happy with iTen minutes later I arrive at the co
"To get this deal I have to be viewed as a responsible and dedicated man." Sydney starts his explanation. I take a sip of water and lean against the table to concentrate on him."I was out of options and that night I decided to get loose and just get drunk." Sydney runs a hand down his face. "When I saw you I felt this strong attraction towards you and thought how sexy and confident you were. And beautiful too." He says this in a low voice with a mesmerizing smile. I never saw him with a real smile but he looked so perfect with it."So this plan came all of a sudden. At first it was only casual flirting but then the thought came. I would take you home, f*ck you, get you pregnant. You would be my surrogate and maybe I'd pay you to act as my wife for a year."I stand abruptly scraping the chair causing everyone to look at us again. I couldn't handle this. This beast took my virginity and knocked me up bec
"What are you making?" I ask Harry in a singsong. Looks like he's in a happy mood since he's whistling to some song I don't know as he dances while cooking."Chicken carbonara" He says turning to me in a playful and perfect spin. His mood is so cheerful. Wow!"You're so happy. What happened?" I ask as I take a glass and fill it with water."Why? Can't I be happy too?" He asks with fake shock. I roll my eyes. "Spill H. You made me so curious.""What do you think?" I think of Amelia and my eyes widen suddenly. "She said yes?" Obviously she did. Harry had been so worried that Amelia wouldn't want to date him. But with the look they both had, I was sure she was hoping to. I hug Harry tightly to congratulate him. It's been two weeks since I was introduced to her and since Harry seems so happy, I'm happy. At least he's got something going on for him. Not that I don't want it to.
What's that beeping sound? I feel so tired but I still open my eyes. I see two men talking next to my bed. Uncle Jason and Harry. I try to get up and JJ comes to my side in a second and helps me up."You've got to stop these hospital visits Bella. I've seen you on this bed enough times." I noticed he's so dramatic and sometimes I wonder if it's a family thing. I mean, everyone complains that I'm so dramatic. Though I'm not."It's only twice JJ. Infact, the bed gets even comfier." I try to joke. I look around and notice I'm in a private room. No annoying disinfectant smell, a larger tv and a bigger room. It looks exactly to which Sydney had been in. Speaking of him. "Where's Sydney?"Harry lets out a frustrated sigh. "He left. His fiance needed him." I try to let out a nonchalant shrug but somehow it hurts. I got the anxiety attack when I was with him and I blame him for it. He leaves when he gets a phone call
