Celine sat in her corner office, overlooking the bustling city below. As the CEO of a rapidly growing cosmetics company, she had worked tirelessly to build her company from the ground up. At only 27 years old, Celine had already accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime.
Celine had always known that she wanted to be successful. Even as an orphan growing up in the orphanage, she had big dreams of becoming a businesswoman and making something of herself. She worked hard in school, getting good grades and participating in extracurricular activities, knowing that education was her ticket out of the orphanage.
After graduating from college with a degree in business, Celine landed her first job at a marketing firm. She quickly made a name for herself, impressing her bosses with her sharp mind and excellent work ethic. Within a few years, she was promoted to a management position, and she never looked back.
But Celine's success didn't come without challenges. As a woman in a male-dominated field, she often had to work twice as hard to prove herself. And as someone who came from a poor background, she sometimes struggled to fit in with her wealthier colleagues.
Despite these obstacles, Celine never lost sight of her goals. She kept working hard, learning everything she could about the business world, and building her professional network. And it paid off - soon she was one of the top executives in her company, earning a six-figure salary and enjoying all the perks that came with it.she later started her own company.
But even as Celine's career was flourishing, her personal life was less successful. She had always struggled to find a good man who understood and supported her ambitions. Many of the guys she dated were intimidated by her success, and others simply couldn't keep up with her busy schedule.
But despite her professional success, Celine couldn't help but feel like something was missing in her personal life. She had been dating Michael for two years now, but their relationship had hit a rough patch in recent months. Michael was a successful lawyer, but their busy schedules often left them with little time for each other.
Recalling how she met Michael at a charity event, Celine was immediately drawn to his easygoing charm and sense of humour. They hit it off right away, and soon they were dating.
Michael was different from any other guy Celine had ever been with. He was confident, successful in his own right, and never seemed threatened by her achievements. He was supportive of her career, and even helped her navigate some of the tricky political situations she encountered at work.
They had been arguing more frequently, and Celine wasn't sure if their relationship was salvageable.But deep down, Celine knew that she still loved Michael. She missed the way he made her laugh, the way he held her close at night, the way he challenged her to be her best self. Maybe they could work things out if they just tried harder.
As she stared out the window, lost in thought, Celine's phone buzzed with a text message. It was Michael that texted her to remind her of their two years anniversary.
Celine had been looking forward to her dinner date with her boyfriend, Michael. They had planned to go to their favourite Italian restaurant to celebrate their two years anniversary. Celine had picked out a beautiful dress, done her hair and makeup, and was feeling excited to spend the evening with Michael.
Celine drove to the Italian restaurant, she sat down scrolling through her emails as she waited for Michael to arrive for their date. As she waited for Michael to arrive, Celine started to get a little nervous. He was usually punctual, but it was already ten minutes past their agreed meeting time. Just as she was about to call him, Michael walked in.
Celine noticed that he looked a little uneasy as he sat down at the table. She asked him if everything was okay, but he brushed it off, saying that he just had a long day at work.
Throughout the meal, Michael seemed distracted and kept checking his phone. Celine tried to start conversations, but Michael's responses were short and uninterested. She could sense that something was wrong, but she didn't want to ruin the night by prying too much.
Finally, Celine couldn't take it anymore. "What's going on, Michael?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. "You've been acting strange all night."
"Nothing, I am just tired because of today's work" Michael replied
"Really? Celine asked
"Yeah , babe you don't need to worry " Michael said
As they finished up their dessert, Michael suddenly announced that he needed to leave. He said that he had an important meeting with a client that he couldn't miss. Celine was disappointed, but she didn't want to stand in the way of Michael's work.
After Michael left, Celine sat at the restaurant for a while, trying to process what had just happened. She had a nagging feeling that Michael was lying to her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
It was a typical Friday evening Celine had decided to head home early from work to surprise Michael with a home-cooked dinner. As she unlocked the door to their apartment, she was surprised to see a female high heels and also Michael shoe near the entrance. Michael usually left his shoes in the closet, so she knew something was off or maybe his sister visited him.
As she walked further into the apartment, she noticed that there were clothes strewn about the living room. She recognized some of them as Michael's, but others were female dress. Her heart started to race as she realised that something was seriously wrong.
Celine tried to push the feeling of dread aside as she made her way towards the bedroom. She could hear voices coming from inside, and her stomach churned with anxiety. As she approached the door, she could hear Michael's voice and another woman's.
Celine's mind went into overdrive as she tried to process what she was hearing. Could Michael really be cheating on her? With someone in their own home?
She pushed the door open slowly, not knowing what to expect. What she saw made her heart drop to her stomach. Michael was lying in bed with another woman, their bodies intertwined. They didn't even notice her standing there, frozen in shock.
Celine's world crumbled around her as she realised that the man she loved was a cheat. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It felt like someone had just punched her in the gut. She could feel her heart racing and her palms starting to sweat. She felt like she was going to throw up.
The emotions that flooded Celine were intense and overwhelming. She was angry, hurt, and betrayed. How could Michael do this to her? Was their relationship nothing more than a lie?
She stood frozen, staring at the scene before her, unable to move or speak. Her mind was racing, trying to make sense of what was happening. But there was no denying it - Michael was cheating on her.
Michael on the other hand noticed that someone was in the room. He was surprised to see Celine; he jumped out of bed and started to apologise profusely, but it was too late.
Celine felt like she couldn't breathe. She stumbled out of the room and into the living room, her heart pounding in her chest. She collapsed onto the couch, tears streaming down her face.
The sight of him with someone else shook her to the core, and she felt as though her world had come crashing down around her.
She grabbed a few things and left the apartment, not wanting to hear his excuses.
Celine was devastated. The betrayal of Michael, the love of her life, had hit her hard, and the pain felt unbearable. As she drove through the streets, tears streamed down her face, blurring her vision.
Her thoughts raced as she tried to make sense of what had happened. How could Michael do this to her? Had their entire relationship been a lie? Her heart felt like it had been ripped out of her chest, leaving her feeling empty and alone.
Celine pulled over to the side of the road, her hands shaking as she tried to compose herself. She knew she couldn't face this alone. She needed someone to talk to, someone who would listen and support her no matter what.Without wasting time, she drove straight to her best friend's house. Celine and her friend Rachel,used to live together before she moved in with Michael.She parked the car and stumbled out, her eyes red and puffy from crying. She rang the doorbell, feeling like she was about to collapse.As soon as her friend opened the door, Celine broke down. She told her everything, the pain, the betrayal, the heartbreak. She cried and shook, unable to contain the emotions that were overwhelming her.Her friend held her tightly, comforting her, and telling her that she was there for her. Celine felt like she had found a lifeline in that moment, someone to help her through the worst of times.The alarm clock blared its usual 6:00 a.m. wake-up call, but Celine couldn't move. The wei
Alexander took a seat at the bar and ordered a drink, his mind wandering back to a conversation he had with his mother a few weeks ago. She had been pestering him about getting married, insisting that he needed to start a family and carry on their family's lineage.Mother: "Son, when are you going to settle down and start a family? You're not getting any younger, you know."Son: "Mom, I've told you before, I'm not ready for that kind of commitment yet. I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish before I think about starting a family."Mother: "But what about our family's lineage? Who will carry on our name if you don't have children?"Son: "Mom, I understand that's important to you, but I don't want to rush into something just because of tradition. Besides, I have a girlfriend who I love very much, and we're not ready to get married yet."Mother: "But how long are you going to wait? What if you miss your chance to have children?"Son: "Mom, I appreciate your concern, but I don'
Alexander groaned against her mouth and dived deep , taking control of her mouth. Celine felt hot all over , and she wanted nothing more than to remove the barriers between them and finally feel him skin on skin . She had never been this fired up in her entire life and all they have done was just kiss. And when he finally squeezed her breast, she was a goner. "Alexander!" She gasped against his mouth, moaning when he bit her lower lips gently. His eyes were dark with desire, they marched her own need for him. He started unzipping her dress, throwing it quickly to the floor. Her bra quickly followed . He kissed every inch of her skin and worshipped her with his mouth until she cried out in ecstasy. He thrust inside her and she cried out. There was nothing wicked about the way he gently shifted inside her, as if he never wanted to leave . Celine wasn't sure when last she got satisfied by a man like this. Although she and Michael normally make out, that cannot be compared with this on
The thought hit her like a ton of bricks. She had been so focused on her career that she hadn't even considered the possibility of starting a family. But now, as she sat in her office feeling like she was going to vomit, it seemed like a very real possibility.The meeting was supposed to start in five minutes, but Carla knew she couldn't go through with it. She quickly dialed her assistant's number and asked her to reschedule the meeting. She didn't want to risk embarrassing herself in front of her business partners.As soon as she hung up the phone, she raced to the restroom and made it just in time to vomit into the toilet. She felt a mix of relief and anxiety. Relief that she didn't have to face the business partners and anxiety about what this could mean for her career and her future. She knew she needed to see a doctor and confirm whether or not she was pregnant.After some research, she found a trusted OB-GYN and scheduled an appointment.As she arrived at the hospital, Celine c
Celine sat down on the couch, staring blankly at the wall. She had just come back from the hospital, and her whole world had changed in an instant. She was pregnant, and she had no idea what to do.Rachel came into the living room and sat down next to Celine, sensing that something was wrong.Rachel: "Honey pie, what's going on? Are you okay?"Celine: "No, I'm not. I just found out that I'm pregnant."Rachel's eyes widened in surprise.Rachel: "Wow, that's...that's huge news. Congratulations!"Celine shook her head, feeling overwhelmed.Celine: "It's not exactly good news. I don't know what to do, Rachel. I wasn't expecting this at all, and I don't know how I'm going to handle being a mother."Rachel: "Okay, okay, take a deep breath. Let's start from the beginning. How did this happen?" I hope that bastard Michael is not the father.Celine took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her confession heavy on her chest.Celine: "It's from that one-night stand I had with Alexander two month
Alexander povAlexander was sitting at his desk, going through his schedule for the week when his assistant came in to remind him about his upcoming trip to visit his mother and sister in their family estate. He groaned inwardly as he remembered the reason for the trip - his mother's incessant nagging about him settling down and getting married.He had managed to avoid the topic during their last conversation, but he knew his mother wouldn't let it go. He didn't want to hear any more of her matchmaking schemes, especially not when he had more pressing matters to attend to, like the merger deal with a rival company.Alexander was tempted to cancel the trip, but he knew it would only make his mother more upset. Besides, he hadn't seen his sister in a while and he missed her. He sighed and agreed to go, mentally preparing himself for the inevitable conversation.Alexander and his driver made their way to his family estate in his sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom. As he approached the grand
Celine pov ….Celine sat in her car outside the towering skyscraper that housed the Alexander's company, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. She was ready to go up to his office and finally tell him about the baby after not suceeding the other day. But something stopped her. As she was about to get out of the car, she saw a woman walking towards the building with the same purpose as hers. The woman was tall and slim, with long blonde hair and expensive-looking clothes. Celine watched as the woman disappeared through the revolving doors, feeling a sudden pang of jealousy.What if that woman was the Alexander's girlfriend? Celine wondered.

The thought made her hesitate, her fingers tightening around the steering.She sat there for a few minutes, debating whether or not to go up to his office. But before she could make up her mind, she saw the Alexander walking out of the building, talking on hi
They both looked at each other, and Celine saw the shock and disbelief in Alexander's eyes as he recognized her. Celine cannot bear the pain in her stomach, Everything went dark,The last thing she remembered was the screeching sound of the car's brakes before she fell unconscious.Without wasting any time, Alexander immediately picked Celine up and rushed her to the nearest hospital.
