Aurelia’s POV

You know that weird feeling you get when someone’s eyes are on you? Yeah, that. It crept over me like a cold shiver. I froze mid-typing, my fingers hovering over the keyboard. Slowly, I glanced toward Noah’s office, and sure enough, the blinds were up, and the glass panel was see-through.

There he was, Mr. Wellington himself, sitting at his desk, head bowed, totally absorbed in whatever important CEO stuff he was doing on his MacBook. I frowned, wondering why the hell he was still here. Didn’t he have a penthouse or a girlfriend or something to go to?

From my angle, I could see him clearly, but I wasn’t sure he could see me. Still, I didn’t like the idea of being watched, so I focused back on my work. The awkwardness was already creeping up my neck, though. I tried to shake it off and concentrated on finishing my task.

Thirty minutes later, I was done—finally. I yawned so loud I thought I’d wake the security guards downstairs. My eyes felt heavy, and my shoulders ach

    AURELIA'S POVThe only thing I said to Noah as I got into the car was my address. Not a “thanks” or a “good evening.” Just my damn address, well politely. The GPS did the rest of the work while the silence between us stretched into something heavy and awkward.The guy didn’t even try to make small talk. He just gripped the wheel, staring straight ahead like I wasn’t sitting right there. Fine by me, though. I wasn’t exactly dying to have a heart-to-heart with Mr. Ice King.The drive was dragging—like, 20 minutes felt like 20 hours. I kept glancing at my phone just to have something to do. Every click of the turn signal sounded ten times louder than it needed to, and I was about ready to scream just to break the silence.And then it happened.We were going down some empty stretch of road when a group of drunk-ass teenagers came out of nowhere, swerving all over the place like they were auditioning for Fast & Furious. Noah muttered something under his breath—probably something along the

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    CRUISING

    After the incident with me riding in Noah’s car, he had gone back to being what he had always been—strict, sharp, and professional. Nothing changed on his end. George, however, had brought up more excuses to ask me out. A coffee here, a dinner there—anything to get me to say yes. I turned them all down politely, but it seemed he just wasn’t getting the hint.Days turned into weeks, and now here we were—the entire administration department of Lumina Industries—preparing to spend a whole week on a cruise ship. Seven of us in total, including our boss, Noah Wellington. Apparently, meeting the deadline for the massive project we’d been working on for a whole month now called for some celebration.We’d just wrapped up a three-day-long meeting to finalize and close out the project, which had been a massive success. So Noah, in what seemed like an uncharacteristically generous move, decided to treat us all. A whole fucking week off work. No emails, no calls, no spreadsheets—just food, drink

    AURELIA'S POV George caught me by the hallway just as I was heading back to my desk. He had that overly confident look on his face that already made me want to turn around.“Hey, Aurelia,” he said, stepping in front of me. “I was thinking, there’s this great place downtown. Fancy, quiet—perfect for dinner. How about we go there tonight? Just the two of us.”I forced a polite smile, even though I was already over this. “Thanks, George, but I can’t. I have other plans tonight.”I tried to move past him, not wanting to make this any more awkward than it already was, but then I felt his hand on my arm. Firm. A little too firm.“Come on, Aurelia,” he said, almost in a coaxing tone, but there was something controlling in the way he held me back.I turned to face him, pulling my arm free. “Don’t do that again,” I said, my tone sharp enough to make my point clear.He blinked, like he hadn’t expected me to push back, and for a few long seconds, we just stared at each other. His face was neutr

    AURELIA'S POV When I got to work the next day, the first thing I heard was that the boss had called for a board meeting with all the staff. Ms. Anderson was the one who broke the news, and honestly, her face looked like it could curdle milk. She was always serious, but today? That frown was something else.The vibe in the office wasn’t any better. Everyone in admin looked like they’d just been told their dog died. That’s when it hit me—whatever this meeting was about, it wasn’t good news. Layoffs? Was the company downsizing? Shit. Am I about to lose my job?The meeting started, and the boss didn’t waste time. Apparently, someone in the company was leaking confidential information to a rival. He said he wanted to get to the bottom of it before launching a full investigation.My stomach dropped. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I glanced around. Everyone had that “not me” look on their face, but the tension was thick enough to choke on.Great. First it was “good morning

    NOAH'S POV The office was so quiet you could hear every damn click of the keyboard. I leaned back in my chair, feeling the tension in my shoulders, but I wasn’t stopping. Not yet. Someone was screwing us over, and I wasn’t letting it slide. Aurelia sat next to me, hunched over her own screen. Her brows were knitted together, She’d been like this for hours—focused, silent, and just annoying enough to keep me on edge. And then, something. “Wait a second,” I muttered, my eyes catching a fragment of text in the system. “What is it?” Aurelia asked, leaning over so quickly her chair squeaked. I didn’t answer right away, too busy opening the file. The email was a mess—half-deleted, scrambled in parts, but the subject line jumped out at me: ‘Info on Expansion Plans.’ My jaw tightened. “This is it,” I said. “The project that got leaked.” Aurelia’s head tilted, and I could feel her studying the screen with me. “Where did you find it?” “Buried in the system.

    NOAH'S POV When I found something else on Aurelia’s USB—something that hinted she might’ve messed with the footage—I sat there staring at the screen like an idiot.Maybe she really was involved. Maybe asking her to stay home was the smartest fucking move I’d made all week. But damn, this was confusing.I didn’t want to believe it, but the pieces were starting to fit, and that pissed me off more than anything.With Aurelia out of the picture for now, I needed someone else to help with the investigation. My next pick? George. Why? Honestly, I didn’t trust the guy, but his connection to Aurelia made him useful. If he knew anything—or worse, if he was part of it—he might slip up under pressure.When George came in, he wasted no time being shady as hell. The guy got defensive the second I started asking questions.I told him about the anonymous tip pointing to Aurelia, expecting him to at least say something in her defense. But no. Instead, he started rambling about how she “probably did

    It was very late when Aurelia walked in. I wasn’t expecting her. She was supposed to be at home, staying the hell out of this.But here she was, holding a folder and looking determined.“Noah,” she started, shutting the door behind her. “I found something.”I leaned back, crossing my arms. “You’re not supposed to be working on this.”“Yeah, well, I need too” she said , tossing the folder onto my desk. “ Please take a Look at this .”I sighed but opened the damn thing. Inside were copies of emails, timestamps, and some weird patterns in system access logs. It looked like someone was using multiple employee logins to cover their tracks.“Where the hell did you get this?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.She crossed her arms. “I’ve been digging. The person behind this? They’re sloppy. These logs show that George’s ID was used right before the files were leaked.”I frowned. It made sense, but something still felt off. “This could just mean George’s credentials were stolen.”“Or it could mean

Targeting my company? That wasn’t random. It had a purpose. But what the hell was it?The picture of me and Aurelia—I got that anonymously. Not from George. He was sitting right there when the message came through. Same damn number that sent the tip about Aurelia being behind the missing files.The message with the photo? Just four chilling words: I have eyes everywhere.It made my stomach turn. Whoever sent it wasn’t just trying to fuck with Aurelia—they wanted leverage over me. This couldn’t get out. Not just because it would wreck me, but because it would destroy Aurelia too.Whoever this was, they were playing a dangerous game, and I needed to figure out what the fuck they wanted before everything blew up in my face.I decided to call Aurelia in.

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    AFTER THE BALL

    It was Nathan.Noah’s cousin.Even if she already guessed it, seeing him there—alone, with that twisted smirk—made her stomach churn. Sure, he was about Noah’s age, but everything about him felt older… rougher. Scarier. The kind of man you didn’t want near you when no one else was around.She tried to take a step back, but his grip only tightened. One hand still clutching her arm like it belonged to him, the other casually lifting a cigarette to his lips. He took a long drag, eyes raking over her body like she was something laid out for him to sample.“You shouldn’t run off like that,” he said, voice low, almost mocking. “What if something happened to you out here?”She said nothing.She didn’t trust her voice.He took another puff, then leaned in way too close. Close enough that she could feel the heat of his breath, the stench of his cologne, the smoke lingering between them like a curse. And then—he exhaled, slow and deliberate, right into her face.Aurelia flinched, coughing light

    Aurelia hated that she was affected by him.Noah.She hated how her heartbeat had caught in her throat that morning, how she was still thinking about the warmth of his hands on her waist, the way his voice dropped when he spoke to her. She hated how his distance had stung more than she was willing to admit.He was her boss.That was the line.He’d been kind. Polite. Maybe a little warm. But that was all it was — she was probably just taking it the wrong way. Misreading everything.And with the plans she had for herself — real, grown-up, get-my-life-back plans — she didn’t have space for misplaced feelings.Especially not for someone like him.So she pushed it down.At least she tried toLike she always did.Downstairs, Noah waited near the entrance, dressed in a dark tailored suit that looked like it had been sewn directly onto his frame. His hair was slicked back neatly, a silver cufflink glinting under the chandelier light. Calm, in control — the very image of authority.Except he wa

    NOAH’S POVThe second I saw her choking, everything else around me blurred out.One second she was talking — smiling, soft — and the next, she was clutching her throat.My body moved before my brain even did.I rushed over, wrapped my arms around her from behind, pressing into her stomach the way I remembered from first aid drills I’d learned but never put into real life action- something I never really did paid attention to. She grabbed the glass of water, practically downed it in one gulp.Relief hit me like a damn wave.I turned her around, eyes scanning her face, searching for any sign that she was okay.“You good?”I asked it quietly, but I could hear the tension in my own voice.She nodded.But her eyes were doing that thing — drifting from my lips to my eyes.And fuck, mine were doing the same.We were close.Too close.My hand was still on her waist, and suddenly I became painfully aware of how small she felt under my fingers, how soft her skin was through the thin fabric.Her

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    BREAKFAST

    Aurelia’s POVMy belly was full, and honestly, I was feeling a hell of a lot better than I did hours ago.I was out on the balcony now, taking in some fresh evening air. The sun had already dipped low — not quite night, but just enough to calm the world down a bit.Noah was somewhere in the house, probably tucked away in his study doing CEO things.I was still enjoying the breeze when I heard footsteps behind me.I didn’t need to turn to know it was him.His sleeves were now rolled up, exposing those annoyingly perfect arms of his.“Zane’s back with your clothes,” he said, eyes fixed on the horizon. “They should be in the room you were earlier.”I glanced at him for a sec.He looked… distant. Or maybe I was just reading too much into it.“Okay,” I said, already turning to leave.“I’m going for a swim in the pool,” he added casually. “You should come. It’ll help you cool off a bit. I’m sure Zane grabbed a swimsuit or something for you.”I gave a small nod and headed back to the room.S

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    LUNCH

    Aurelia’s POVStill in my boss’s oversized shirt, I made my way downstairs for lunch.God, I was starving.The house — no, the penthouse — was something straight out of a rich guy movie.Wide glass windows with thick curtains drawn back, floors so polished you could see your damn reflection, soft beige tones, sleek furniture, and warm lighting that made the whole place feel very expensive and too clean to touch.Noah was already at the kitchen table, looking way too good for someone who just casually ruined my entire sense of normal.The table was set for two — medium-rare steak, mashed potatoes, a bottle of wine. The kind of lunch that screamed luxury For like two seconds, my brain went rogue and pictured this as my house.Noah cooking, us eating, him feeding me like some doting husband.Then reality slapped me across the face.Jesus. He’s your boss.Noah must’ve heard me coming, ‘cause he stood up and pulled out the chair opposite him.Polite. Gentleman move.But… was that all it w

    Aurelia’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I realized was — this wasn’t my room.Panic kicked in.I tried to piece together my last memory.Police station.Noah.I felt nauseous, puked like on myself , and the dizziness hit so bad I felt myself falling —Then Noah caught me.“Noah.”I mumbled, looking around, trying to get my suspicions right.My eyes landed on a small tray on a dresser near the bed — painkillers and a glass of water, each neatly labeled, swallow me and drink me.Cute.That’s when a slight headache smacked me right in the skull.I didn’t even think twice — I grabbed the damn painkillers and swallowed them dry.“What the fuck am I doing here?”I muttered under my breath, still scanning around for my phone from where I laid, but it wasn’t in plain sight.Before I could move, the door creaked open.And there he was.Noah.Hands tucked into the pockets of his trousers, looking way too calm for the shitstorm in my head.“Shit,” I muttered.He stepped closer, voic

    Aurelia’s POVI don’t know how long I closed my eyes for, but whatever I was expecting didn’t happen.I was expecting the cold iron of the cuffs on my wrist, and rough pushes from the policemen.But what I heard instead was a loud, shrieking voice that said,“What are you doing?!”A voice I recognized immediately — George.I opened my eyes fast.He was now the one in cuffs, hands twisted behind his back, struggling like a damn toddler throwing a tantrum.He was resisting arrest, shouting all kinds of bullshit that nobody was paying attention to.I turned to Noah, looking for some kind of explanation because what the actual fuck was happening.He had a soft smile on his face — that rare, dangerous smile as of to say he was always two steps ahead of everybody else.He just nodded at me calmly, like this was always part of the plan.George kept yelling as they dragged him out like the pathetic snake he was.“What happened?” I stammered, my voice sounding way smaller than I liked.Noah tu

    Aurelia’s POVI felt my chest sting from the pain of betrayal. I never thought in a thousand fucking years that Noah would trust George over me, but here we were. And deep down, I knew he didn’t really trust me either. Not like I trusted him anyway.But still… this?This was all just a big fucking mistake.I was the one about to get cuffed by the police. Me.I looked up at Noah, trying to get him to understand without saying a damn word that I wasn’t the criminal here.And that’s when I saw it — that look.The same look he gave me the night on the cruise ship, when everything got messy.It hit me all over again like a movie replaying in my head.Those stone-crockheaded teenagers had chased me all over that damn ship. And somehow, by sheer luck or fate or whatever, I ended up banging on a door.When he opened it, I basically fell inside like a wreck — butt straight on the floor, gasping for air like I just ran a fucking marathon.And there he was.Noah.Shirtless.Wet hair messy like h
