Pregnancy III

Charlotte turned her head slowly as soon as she heard the voice and standing by the bathroom door was Bruce.

“How long have you been standing there?” She asked.

“I am going to be a father.”

“You aren't, the machine is faulty.”

“Ohh Charlotte that explains the sudden vomiting.”

“Get out of the bathroom, Bruce.”

“So… you’re pregnant Charlotte?”

“I said, ' Get out,” she shouted.

“Don't you raise your voice at me, Charlotte. You are f**king carrying my child, show some respect.”

“I'

  • Pregnant by the Playboy Heir    The Missing Founder

    Bruce didn’t sleep that night.He just sat at his kitchen table, staring at the photo.It showed him leaving his apartment. From that very day. He never saw who took it, but whoever it was had come close enough to touch him. Under the photo, they’d scribbled four words: We told you to stop.He sat there, watching the sun come up, and didn’t stop. He kept digging.If someone was sending threats, it meant he was on to something important. That scared him. But mostly, it made him curious.By eight, he was walking into the city archives. The old clerk barely bothered to look up.“What do you need?”Bruce slid a note across the counter. “I’m looking for historical records.”The clerk’s tone was tired. “What kind?”“Death records.”She let out a sigh. “Name?”He hesitated—just a beat—then said it. “Robert Green.”She froze. Only for a split second. Most people would have missed it, but Bruce caught it. Then she went back to business, started typing. A few minutes later, she handed him a nea

  • Pregnant by the Playboy Heir    The Lie That Grows

    Bruce stayed through the dark hours. Long after midnight, stillness weighed on his chest like a held breath.Beneath the hum of passing traffic, a bulky envelope pressed against his leg. The pavement blurred beneath spinning wheels."Robert Green."That word held on tight. Unlike the rest, it refused to disappear.He appeared in none of the papers now, not even once.Word spread through breakfast readers that he was gone.Strange how they didn’t consider he could’ve survived.Yet there it was - his name again, buried in the newest files.Recent accounts.Recent records.Recent money transfers.Beneath his palms, the leather of the wheel grew taut. Pressure built without sound. Each finger dug in, slow and sure. Tension rode up his arms. The road ahead stayed quiet. Grip tightened like it had something to prove."If Robert Green is alive, then everything we've been told is a lie."A tightness rose in his gut at the mere thought.Out of all the hints so far, this one didn’t fit at all.

  • Pregnant by the Playboy Heir    They Are Watching

    Her eyes stayed fixed on the dark monitor.Thump thump, her heart hadn’t slowed yet. Still racing, like it forgot how to stop.Still clear, that caution stayed with her.Each person who looked into this before you ended up dead.You will be next.A voice showed up from nothing at all. It sat there, sudden, without warning.No login screen.No files.No desktop.Just those words.The lights on the display died suddenly.Bruce moved first.With a quick move, he took hold of the mouse then gave it a shake.Nothing.A finger tapped one key after another without pause.The screen flickered.Back came the desktop, gradual at first.Her arms crossed tight as she stood there."Tell me that's an old message."Bruce stayed quiet for a moment.Frozen on the display, his gaze didn’t waver. The screen held him without a blink.After that, the system menu appeared on screen when he tapped it."What are you doing?" Charlotte asked."Checking the activity log.""For what?""For whoever left that mess

  • Pregnant by the Playboy Heir    The Inner Circle

    Charlotte stared at Bruce across the dusty records office.Between them sat the open folder. It did not close.Old bank statements.Old signatures.Old names.A single phrase kept circling back, stuck deep inside her thoughts.The Inner Circle.She looked up."Who are they?"Bruce exhaled slowly.Years seemed to have settled on his skin overnight.More tired.More cautious."The Inner Circle wasn't supposed to exist anymore."Charlotte frowned."Stop talking in riddles."Bruce nodded."Twenty-five years ago, some of Atlanta's most powerful men created a private network.""What kind of network?""The kind nobody talks about."Folding her arms was what Charlotte did."Explain."Over there, Bruce aimed his finger at the papers."Politicians."His finger moved."Judges."Another name."Police commissioners."Another."Businessmen."Another."Bankers."Her eyes moved down the paper slowly.Familiar faces popped up in the list of names.Some weren't.Bruce

  • Pregnant by the Playboy Heir    The Man No One Could Reach

    Bang went to the city just as Detective Raymond Cole lifted his finger toward Richard Norman.A few minutes would pass before the screens showed it again.Social media flooded with arguments.Folks who saw him that day trusted what he said without question.Some believed sorrow had at last cracked his mind.Folks just kept clashing, every single one holding a different view.On the conference stage, Richard Norman stood with an unexpected calmness.Almost too calm.Still, the lenses stayed locked onto his face.Reporters waited for outrage.For denial.For anger.His eyes met the lenses straight on while fixing the sleeves of his coat."Detective Cole has clearly suffered severe trauma."Everyone fell silent right away.His words held firm, without a single shake."The man lost his family.""He witnessed officers die.""He was kidnapped.""My heart truly goes out to him."Cole stared at him in disbelief.His head moved slowly from side to side, eyes downcast."I understand why he's co

  • Pregnant by the Playboy Heir    Cracks in the Masks

    Beside the window in Charlotte’s office, Bruce stayed quiet, eyes fixed on the streets below. The city stretched out under a pale sky, buildings packed tight. A few cars moved like ants through narrow lanes. He did not shift his weight. Light from outside cut across the floor, sharp and still. Nothing about his stance invited talk. Down there, life kept moving without him.Atlanta looked peaceful from this height.It wasn’t true. That story fell apart fast.Fingers pressed into her eyelids after Charlotte shut the folder. The screen's glow had left streaks behind her lashes.“You’ve been staring out that window for ten minutes.”Bruce turned his eyes toward her.“I’m thinking.”“About Richard?”“About everybody.”Back went Charlotte into the chair.“Meaning?”Bruce turned, making his way again to the desk.Still, his face showed no smile.“Working with you doesn’t mean I suddenly like you.”One corner of Charlotte's brow lifted slightly.“Good to know.”Bruce shrugged.“I’m being hone
