AURELIA'S POV

I arrived at my new workplace the next morning—Lumina Industries. I took one big breath before stepping out of the elevator, which chimed to indicate I was on the third floor of the company's building. Everything about the company screamed luxury, and it reminded me of my late father's company. A sting of pain followed that thought, hitting me square in the chest, but I bravely brushed it off. Today was not a day to be sober or a day to reflect on the past.

This marked a new beginning for me, and I wanted to make it worth it. The ice I applied on my face yesterday had worked wonders, concealing the dark circles and eye bags that had followed me like a shadow for the past two weeks. And yes, for the first time in two weeks, I was wearing makeup. I remembered how I had looked in the mirror before leaving the house this morning—it left me beaming. For a moment, I felt like a version of myself I hadn’t seen in ages.

I was now in the workspace for the Administration and

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    THE INTERVIEW

    Aurelia’s POVAs I entered Mr. Wellington’s office, I couldn’t help but notice the way everything was in its perfect place. Awards adorned one side of the room, while pictures of him with smiling children hung on the wall, exposing his philanthropic nature. He barely spared me a glance upon my entry, merely gesturing for me to sit opposite him while he hurriedly worked to finish the file in front of him.It didn’t take long—less than thirty seconds—before he put the file away, neatly stacking it as if ensuring everything had its proper order.“So, you must be Ms. Aurelia, my new office assistant,” he said, his deep voice commanding yet professional.As soon as we made eye contact, something shifted. His expression remained neutral—an almost straight face—but there was a flicker of something unspoken in his eyes, as if he’d just remembered something. He stared at me, not with dismissal, but with a quiet intensity that made the moment feel much longer than it actually was.Noah’s POVMy

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    WORKING LATE

    Aurelia's POV Two weeks. That was all it had been since I started at Lumina Industries, but it felt like two years. Not because the job was bad—I mean, the pay was great, the office was stunning, and I hadn’t even had to buy my own coffee since day one. It was the vibe. Noah Wellington was… well, let’s just say if he smiled at me once, I’d probably check the weather forecast for a blizzard. Our relationship was neutral at best, cold at worst. He wasn’t mean or anything, just distant. Polite but stiff, like he didn’t trust me or wasn’t sure I belonged here. And while I tried to keep a positive attitude, his constant indifference was starting to wear me down. So when George from HR called for an emergency meeting first thing Monday morning, I braced myself for whatever fresh hell awaited. What I didn’t expect was a literal shitstorm of a project being dropped on everyone’s lap. Turns out, Lumina Industries had just secured a massive government contract for a sustainable energy initi

    AURELIA'S POVThe moment I stepped into the office, I could feel the buzz in the air. People were rushing around, papers in hand, phones pressed to ears—it was chaos. It didn’t take long before I was pulled into it.“Morning, Aurelia,” one of my coworkers said, handing me a folder. “You’re prepping the presentation for Mr. Wellington’s meeting with the investors today, right?”I nodded, still half-asleep. “Yeah, I got the files last night. I’ll double-check everything now.”“And you’re attending the meeting too,”Noah's secretary added casually, like it wasn’t a big deal.Wait, what?I swallowed hard, trying to look calm. "Got it," I said, even though I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. Attending a high-stakes investor meeting with Noah Wellington himself? No pressure.For the next hour, I buried myself in my work. I made sure every slide was perfect, every number double-checked. But somewhere along the way—probably during my second coffee break—I must’ve grabbed the wrong file from m

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    WORKING LATE

    Aurelia's POVThe news of our deal's success hit the office before we even got back. When we walked in, it was like someone flipped a switch—everyone was grinning, even Ms. Anderson, Noah’s secretary. Now, let me tell you, I thought I’d see a real-life elf before I’d see Ms. Anderson smile. But there she was, showing her teeth like it was a damn holiday. Guess today was just full of miracles.The excitement buzzed around the office, people congratulating each other and patting themselves on the back. I could see it in their faces—they were relieved their last-minute efforts to pull this off hadn’t been wasted. It felt good to be part of that, knowing I’d helped, even if I had to sweat my way through a near disaster.But celebrations didn’t last long here. Not in this office. There was still work to do, and if they thought they had a truckload of it, mine was a freaking freight train.I dove into my tasks, barely looking up from my screen. Emails, reports, updates—it was like the whole

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    AWKWARD DRIVE HOME

    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

  • PREGNANT FOR MY CEO    RIDE HOME

    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

  • 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

    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 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.

    NOAH'S POV If George was behind all this, then his goal wasn’t just to sabotage Aurelia. No, this shit went deeper. Whoever was pulling the strings wanted me tangled in this mess too. 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.
