_JANIS' POV_The air was tensed and heated up as my sister and I stared daggers at each other, our bloodshot glares scaring the wits out of all the other employees that would have dared to interfere.What the fuck is wrong with Stravis?I mean... who the hell gave her the authority to fire my workers without my fucking consent!?"Well, I am the owner of this company, the CEO!" I yelled at her, reminding her of the status I held in this company with a fiery blaze of indignation burning in my eyes.I am the CEO and Stravis has no fucking right to fire my workers without my knowledge, sister or no sister, I made her the manager of this company, so I have the supreme power here!"And I'm the one who runs things here! You don't even know half of what goes on here!!" Stravis yelled back at me, matching my enraged tone.Is Stravis nuts or something?!I matched up to her, my chest heaving with anger. The air became too tight to breathe in and silence like wildfire spread throughout the office
_JANIS' POV_I am fvcking pregnant, but how??!Who did I even sleep with!? How did this happen!?This was too confusing. My entire world was crumbling and I couldn't do anything."But how can I be pregnant? I always use protection and I don't remember having sex with anybody" my voice came as a whisper. "You are pregnant. The result is accurate" The doctor replied like he couldn't be questioned."Doctor, I can't be pregnant, please. I don't even know who the father is! I want an abortion. I can't keep this baby" I spoke almost crumbling into tears.The doctor accessed my features for a while before speaking. "You are too tense, okay? Go home, rest, and ponder over this with a clearer mind ok. If you still want the abortion then come back""Alright. Thank you" I heaved a heavy sigh before bolting up and hastily walking outside.I scurried towards my car and quickly pulled open the door, launching myself in."Take me home now" I instructed my assistant who ignited the engine in an insta
_Janis' POV_A redhead walked in with my assistant trailing beside him. His clothing was shabby and his red locks dangled carelessly over the crook of his neck. His brown eyes shone on seeing me as I matched his orbs with my formidable stare.Fuck, no!He isn't the one.The man who fucked me wasn't even red-haired!"Ma'am meet..." I didn't let my assistant complete the sentence as I hoisted my hand at him which cut him short."He isn't the one." I abruptly stated.My assistant got tongue-tied."B-but ma'am at least...""I said he isn't the one! Get me another!" I shot back at him rudely."Alright. Let's go, Micheal." He said to the red-haired who did nothing but nod and flash me a smile.My God! I know who I slept with and that redhead was not him.Though I have no vital information about him, the only thing I could only remember was his facial features and the fact that he had been the driver who drove me back from the club that night. These two weeks had turned out out a roller coa
_JANIS' POV_Suspense raided the air and a brief silence interluded the atmosphere. "Wow! Are you serious? That's good news. So, we are expecting a grandchild very soon?" A smile drew its initials on the lips of my mother as she stood up to embrace me, killing the silence with a bright look on her face. "Congratulations! I know he must be a well-to-do young man!!" Dad exclaimed, a beam saturated all over his face.Wow! What just happened?They didn't yell at me??!I stared at them in blank amazement, completely mortified by their cheerfulness.I was almost doubting if I was in the right house or at the wrong dining hall with people who aren't my parents. I expected more scolding and questioning from them.In my confused state, I forced out a smile and accepted every positive remark given to me by my parents, although I could sense that my sister was quite disconnected from the cheerful atmosphere. Luckily, they didn't ask me who the father of my child was, because if they mistakenly
_JANIS' POV_Sunlight crept into my room through the flailing curtains that draped down my windows.My eyes gradually fluttered open to the parallel rays of sunlight and I yawned, stretching my body before sitting upright. My vision was hazily blurry, and my throat felt very acidic.It took a while for my vision to adjust and I quickly reached for the jug of water placed on my bed stand.Gulping down a glass of water, a heavy sigh escaped my lips.Today is the day I announce at my company's board meeting this lingering decision that's causing restlessness in my body.I would be announcing my temporary leave for a year as a result of my pregnancy, and at the same time, handling the position of CEO to my younger sister, Stravis, temporarily.Can Stravis handle such responsibility? I know her capabilities and I know she did quite a good job as the manager of my company, but being a CEO was a completely different and higher responsibility altogether I entrust Stravis with such a huge and a

✓JANIS's POV✓ "Janis, I know we didn't ask before, but who's the father of your child?" My Dad asked, and I almost choked upon hearing that question from him. This is what I've been fearing so greatly... this damned question, because I don't know the right answer to that either. I got tongue-tied and just averted my gaze from my father. "Yes, Janis and is he wealthy? Will you both get married soon?" My mum added with a note of urgency in her tone, making me gulp and I faced them both. "He is well-to-do, but not as rich as us, and we aren't getting married. As for his identity, please don't ask me about that ever again." I deadpanned, and the response I received was... well, depicted that I took things to a slightly harsh height. My parents were taken aback by my response and they stared at me with widened orbs including Stravis. "I think I've had enough for dinner." I quickly added that I hadn't touched any food and stood up, walking out on them, or followed closely behind, trail
JAX The sun's rays illuminated brightly through the curtains and into the room. Its brightness pulled me out of my unconsciousness. I struggled to open my eyes and when I was fully conscious, my head began to bang heavily, it was heavy and uneasy. This was a result of the amount of alcohol I had sculled down in the bar last night. I had drank so much that I became intoxicated as a result of the excessive intake of alcohol. I woke up very weak and tired, I didn't regret last night's drinking though because it was fun and I needed it to relieve myself from work. I stood up feeling lightheaded but I managed to walk over to the table where I kept my aspirin, took two pills, and gulped it down after taking the water from the glass cup at the table. ***** The atmosphere was cool and frigid, the cold breeze swept through the city as the moon shuns on the earth. The night was bright and chilled, however, my body was back to being strong and energetic. Loud music and chattering from insi
