FELICIA

“You're pregnant ma'am,” the doctor's voice still rang in my head as I sat in the living room, my arms folded.

It's been three days since I slept with that call boy. I feel ashamed of myself right now.

But I still remembered that night, just one mistake and I'm used as a scape goat. I don't know how Harry will take it and I can't even tell him about this.

The image of him was still in my head, his scent, everything.

I still feel ashamed after that night, he didn't collect the money and I didn't see his face. I'm a whore and it breaks me to know that's the truth.

He just vanished that morning, leaving only a cufflink that I accidentally found when I was packing my stuff by the drawer and honestly, it still surprises me.

I held it and stared at it, his initials were boldly written and I couldn't say it, it felt too heavy in my mouth, too unreal.

The slamming of the door made me jerk sharply, my gaze quickly locked towards it. Of course there’s only one annoying human who could have stormed in here…

Harrry!

But he took a pause, stopping briefly at the door, his cold piercing gaze met mine and I felt my chest squeeze.

“Where have you been all day?!” He quipped.

“Uhm, I went to…”

“Never mind, just get dressed now.” He paced around endlessly searching for something.

“Felicia get up!” He scolded. “Get dressed. Can't you see that the company's stock is dropping?!” He rolled his eyes at me.

“That merger is the only solution except you have another. it's been lingering too much and we need to close that deal soonest!” He quipped, sighing deeply.

Paranoid and bossy as always, I didn't reply to him though, I just stood up and still held that cufflink, folding it into my fist because Harry can't see it with me.

I headed upstairs and quickly got dressed, but I hid that cufflink in my purse, I didn't trust that home anymore. That was the only key to verifying my claims about the father of this child.

“Felicia! Can you hurry up, for crying out loud!” Harry's impatient voice boomed from downstairs.

I hastened my feet down the stairs and finally got to him. He just rolled his eyes at me and we walked out.

We drove swiftly to the company and the moment we stepped out of the car, my heart fluttered for a split second. The cufflink? It had the same insignia of the company? What's really going on?

We walked in together, our hands clasped together and the receptionist directed to his office on the top floor.

We got into the elevator, but my heart didn't find peace. I was terrorized by my mind, the guilt, the self blame. Good Lord.

The elevator finally came to a halt and the office door opened. Harry's face was beaming with joy, but my face was sour. We walked in and took our seats, his chair backed us, he was staring at the city view, his legs crossed and his aura unmatched. That same cologne, it choked me again.

However, when he finally turned his chair, my heart sank, not in fear of his aura but the recognition of the same cologne of the call boy hit me hard.

He stood and walked over to us ans stretched his hand for a handshake and it only got worse. I spotted it, the exact royal blue insignia of the cufflink in my purse…

He offered me a seat and his gaze lingered further on me, as if he knew but his expression changed quickly to a stern look.

I used this moment to quickly check the one in my purse to be sure and it was its exact match. I stared at him again as he spoke to Harry and those sharp intimidating blue eyes, I recognized them immediately.

And once again, he focused on me, staring at me for a while, maybe trying to ascertain his thoughts of me, but finally looked away and turned to Harry.

“Have you finalized the proposal?” He spat, but his voice was rude. And Harry wasn't done with that yet, he was supposed to finish up with it tonight, but he was the one that called us to show up here immediately.

“Sir, My wife here…” he turned to me, and I knew he was confused, but he still forced himself to remain calm. I just had to help him.

“Oh, about that. The proposal is almost ready, I just needed to show it to him for the final ascent…” I quickly put in.

“Yeah, that's right…” Harry joined in, but the other man just nodded with a rather cold stare.

“Hmm.” He took in a deep breath and looked away for a while.

When he turned back to me, he smiled warmly and just shrugged it off.

“Don't worry, nevermind,” he replied, his voice firm.

He was being unusually nice to me, but hostile to Harry. I was already growing too uneasy with his character and I had to tell him the one thing that has been bothering me, but I didn't know how.

An idea popped up and I quickly turned to him.

“Uhm, please can I have a glass of water?” I begged and he quickly agreed.

“Sure,” he stood up immediately to get the water from the dispenser and I quickly grabbed my pen and scribbled it on a piece of paper boldly.

“I'M PREGNANT.”

When he gave me the glass, I stylishly slid the paper into his hands and we exchanged awkward glances at each other.

Harry noticed it and raised an eyebrow at me, but I looked away.

When he took a seat, Harry was already feeling something was off, but didn't have a say, but that didn't even matter.

When Richard opened the paper, he turned to me and raised an eyebrow, giving me a blank stare. And I choked on the water.

“Is everything alright?” Harry asked now, staring at me with a cold look.

But he got no reply and I didn't even bother to look at him either. I quickly grabbed my phone and sent Richard the pregnancy report I had gotten from the doctor a few days ago and the check up I got when I visited the hospital earlier today.

He was speechless and just stared at me, his face folding softly into a deadly scowl.

“Sir, is everything alright?” Harry asked again.

But he was too busy to answer that as he was busy checking his phone.

“Get out of my office!” He spat, his voice cold and too calm.

“But Sir…” Harry tried to persuade him but he immediately shouted at us again to get out.

“Leave here now before I call the security!”

We got up immediately and rushed out. Harry was awkwardly surprised about how it suddenly ended that way, but I keep exactly why he acted that way and it broke me.

We walked out together in silence and he was confused, but I was broken.

“Why the sudden change?” Harry asked. He was clearly confused. “He was nice to me the other time I came here.”

“I don't know!” I spat, forcing the tears back in and just left him behind.

Why me? Just why?!

    RICHARD The little conference room in my office was already occupied when I walked in that morning.Seven members of the financial committee sat around the polished oval table, each with laptops, reports, and quarterly projections spread before them.I took my usual seat at the head of the table."Good morning, everyone."A chorus of greetings followed.I opened the agenda packet in front of me."Let's get started."The company had entered one of its most ambitious periods in years. Several major research initiatives were advancing simultaneously, and the board wanted detailed financial plans for the next quarter before authorizing additional spending.To my right sat Daniel Foster, the committee chairman.A meticulous man in his early fifties who seemed capable of spotting accounting discrepancies from a mile away.Daniel adjusted his glasses."First item on the agenda," he said. "Project Barbara."The large screen mounted on the wall immediately displayed a presentation.Project Ba

    FeliciaI was just a couple of hours into reviewing my research notes when my phone rang.Without looking up, I ignored it.My eyes remained fixed on the interaction chart on my computer screen while I highlighted several observations in a notebook.A few seconds later, the phone rang again.This time I sighed and reached for it.The moment I saw the caller ID, I sat up straighter.Nora.The realtor.I immediately swiped across the screen."Hello, Nora.""Good afternoon, Felicia," she said cheerfully."Good afternoon.""I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."I glanced at the research papers scattered across my desk."Nothing that can't wait.""Wonderful. I think I may have another property you'd like to inspect."My interest sharpened immediately."Oh?""Are you free in about an hour?""Yes, I am.""Perfect."I heard papers rustling on her end."This one is in White Marble Estate."A smile immediately spread across my face.White Marble Estate.I had heard about it countless

    FELICIAThe soft morning light filtering through the curtains woke me before my alarm did.For a few seconds, I remained in bed, listening to the quiet stillness surrounding the house. I heard a door close and the faint hum of activity beginning in the house.I stretched carefully before sitting up.Pregnancy had taught me many things.One of them was that moving too quickly in the morning was a terrible idea.After brushing my teeth and changing into exercise clothes, I rolled my birthing ball toward the center of the room."Let's do this."The words came out softly.The baby, fortunately, had remained cooperative lately.My lower back wasn't hurting.My sugar levels were stable.And my energy had been reasonably good.I sat on the birthing ball and began a series of gentle movements my doctor had approved.Slow pelvic circles.Hip rotations.Gentle bouncing.Nothing strenuous.Just enough to keep my body active.After fifteen minutes, I moved on to the resistance bands.I secured on

    RICHARDTwo days later, my driver eased the car into the parking lot of one of the city's most exclusive restaurants.I glanced at my watch.12:15 p.m.Fifteen minutes before my meeting with Raymond.The restaurant stood on a quiet corner overlooking a landscaped boulevard lined with palm trees and ornamental shrubs. The building itself wasn't overly extravagant, but everything about it communicated wealth. From the polished stone exterior to the valet attendants standing neatly at the entrance, the place catered to people who valued privacy as much as luxury.My driver stepped out first and came around to open my door."Thank you," I said as I got out.The afternoon air was pleasantly warm.I adjusted my suit jacket and headed toward the entrance.The hostess recognized me immediately."Good afternoon, Dr. Coleman.""Good afternoon."She smiled professionally."Prof. already reserved a table for two. Right this way."A waiter took over and led me through the restaurant.The lunch cro

    FELICIA Richard rested both arms against the edge of his desk and looked at me steadily.“You think suing them will complicate things?” he asked.The irritation I sensed in his voice had softened. “Yes,” I answered honestly. “I think it will.”I paused briefly before adding,“And I’m almost certain your board members won’t encourage it either.”A quiet exhale left him.“Yeah… speaking of the board,” he muttered.He ran a hand through his hair slowly, a gesture I was beginning to notice he did whenever something genuinely frustrated him.“It was actually the board chairman, Raymond, who brought the newspaper to my office four days ago to show me.”“I see,” I said quietly.That explained a lot.Not just his anger but the pressure beneath it.Richard wasn’t merely dealing with gossip.He was dealing with institutional scrutiny; corporate image and board politics.The kind of pressure that turned personal matters into business concerns.For a moment, he said nothing. He simply stared ah

    RICHARD “What are you going to do about the City Herald report?”Felicia’s voice cut through the silence of my office just as we finished reviewing the interaction chart displayed on my computer screen.I looked away from the monitor slowly.“Oh…” I said. “You’ve read it?”She stood across from my desk holding a blue research folder against her side, her expression calm but observant.“Who hasn’t?” she replied evenly.Fair point.It had been four days since the article came out, and instead of dying down like most media nonsense, it had spread like gasoline fire.Every gossip blog now has its own version.Some were even in more dramatic versions.Outrightly ridiculous!One headline had actually read:“The Billionaire Scientist With Secrets Too Dangerous to Reveal?”Idiots.I leaned back slightly in my chair, studying Felicia for a brief second.Unlike most people who brought up the issue lately, she didn’t look curious.Or entertained.Just analytical.“What do you think I should do

    RICHARD I don't want to be here.That was the first thought that crossed my mind as I stepped into the ballroom.It was… loud.Not just in sound, but in presence. And that was one of the things I hated. Men in expensive suits holding glasses, stroking each other's egos just to win one contract or

    FELICIA The drive back to the penthouse from the hospital had been smooth, almost too smooth, and I had spent most of it staring out the window, my thoughts drifting between uncertainty and something dangerously close to calm. The driver had said very little, and the maid seated beside me had only

Noon light filtered in through the tall glass windows, casting sharp lines across stacks of regulatory files, tablets, a

    FELICIA Fernie adjusted the pillow behind my back gently, her movements careful, almost protective, as I sat up on the hospital bed. The midday light filtered softly through the blinds, casting thin stripes across the white sheets.“I think you should listen to him,” she said, settling into the ch
