Lahat ng Kabanata ng Pregnant For My Dad's Rival : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Mila's POV …..Guests had just started arriving at the venue, and the hotel was buzzing with our company shareholders, partners, other business moguls from around the city and even bank owners in celebration of my Dad's 50th birthday. One thing people in business never joke about is networking and good business relationships.I welcomed most of the guests as my Dad had requested, but my mind kept swaying back to the events that happened earlier that day……I had gone to pick up some jewelry I left at my boyfriend's place that morning before heading for the hotel where the event would take place.Felix, my boyfriend, was my plus one for the night, but he said he was busy at work and wasn't going to be able to check in with me at the hotel that morning, but he promised not to miss the event.I used the spare key Felix had given me for his apartment during our first anniversary to let myself in. I was about to open the bedroom door when my hand stopped midway to the doorknob as I heard so

Mila’s POV...“Hi Eliza, have you arrived?” I said as I picked up the phone, leaving Mr Blackwell. Eliza always had a habit of showing up late, so it wasn’t unusual when I received her call. I had spent quite some time with Mr Blackwell as the event had already progressed quite far when I caught up with Eliza. She was waiting for me at the bar where I joined her. “Here, have a drink. You seem to have had a long day”. She said, looking me in the eye.“That obvious, huh?”.“Well, there's no bad day, a drink or two won't solve”. Eliza said with a grin.Eliza and I were just a few years apart. My Dad got married to Eliza's mum after my mum had passed. My mum died during childbirth, and I really didn't know much about Eliza's mum because, shortly after, she also died. My Dad both cared for me and Eliza, but I always looked out for Eliza more as she tended to be both nonchalant and reckless at times. Even though we were stepsisters, I didn't consider her as such.Eliza said she couldn't

Mila's pov….I quickly got ready and arrived at the office.“Where have you been? We have been trying to reach you all night”. My Stepsister said upon my arrival. I quickly glanced at the phone, seeing the multiple texts and missed calls.What really happened last night? I thought to myself. I didn't even hear my phone ring all through the night. I thought to myself, allowing my intrusive thoughts to roam free to see if I could remember anything from last night —Yet nothing. An emergency board meeting was already in place, which I quickly joined in the board room where it was taking place. Emergency board meetings were usually called for during a crisis. My heart started racing as to what the issue could be as I held my father's furious gaze.Could it be that he found out about my one-night stand with Zaden already? After all, it happened at his birthday party. My heart was racing, I didn't like being in the unknown one bit.My father's secretary passed around some documents. When I

Mila's POV….I stared at my phone, without a single message or notification from my sister or father. My letter of suspension was already in my inbox from the human resources department. “How could this be happening?””I am supposed to be receiving my letter of appointment as CEO instead of receiving a suspension letter”.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection. I didn't look like I was involved in an accident, aside from losing a bit of weight, I looked the same as the day of the accident. I couldn't believe three freaking weeks had already passed. My hand instinctively went to my belly, and I stroked it. The baby is undoubtedly Zaden's. Felix and I had not been intimate in months as I had been so occupied with the new CEO appointment. I should have taken my morning pills after that night, but everything happened so fast. I still couldn't remember the details of that night, from when I had a few drinks with Eliza; everything else was blank. Now a child i

Mila's Pov…What was l thinking? Why did I tell Zaden the baby was his?I blame it on the mental stress my mind had been through today. I wasn't even thinking properly, the words just came out of my mouth without thinking.Zaden had instructed the hotel to bring me some clothes, toiletries, and food.After the long ass day I had, all I needed was a warm bath and some sleep. Instead, I kept switching sides on the bed, rumpling the sheets as sleep eluded me.My mind was a mess with Zaden's reaction that night. I felt pissed that he still sent items to me, after being snubbed all night. “Why did he leave without a word?”“Did he think I was lying? Or that I wanted to pin the baby on him?”I couldn't sleep, I watched as the wall clock ticked, with seconds, minutes, and hours passing.I eventually left the room with no hope of sleeping tonight.The penthouse was really quiet with a minimalist interior design. It had a cold feeling, without any emotional connection in it; there were no p
