Semua Bab Age Is Just A Number : Bab 41 - Bab 50

That night, for the first time in months, I slept peacefully. The days that followed were surprisingly calm. I woke up late, took slow walks in the garden, and ate without rushing. Sometimes, I caught myself smiling for no reason, my hand always resting on my stomach, as if afraid the baby might disappear. “I’m really going to be a mother,” I whispered one afternoon, laughing softly at myself. Sofia teased me endlessly. “See you? You look better already.” I nodded. For the first time, life wasn’t chasing me, I was walking at my own pace. I finally got what I had always wished for. One morning, I stared at my reflection and sighed. “It’s time for a scan.” Selena’s head snapped up immediately. “Today?!” I nodded. “Yes,” I said, chuckling. Her eyes sparkled. “Then I’m coming with you.” Sofia smirked. “Of course you are.” Then she sighed. “Because be careful—the most beautiful flowers are always surrounded by thorns.” ….. We arrived at the hospital late in the morning. The fami

At first, I didn’t believe Sofia until I travelled abroad and tried several companies. I was really blacklisted! Every company kept rejecting me, no matter how hard I tried. I kept thinking… why would he do that? Every CEO's door I knocked on closed quietly in my face. No matter how qualified I was, no matter how well I spoke, the answer was always the same. Polite smiles. Empty promises. Rejection emails that came too fast, as if they had been prepared long before I even applied. That was when I realised someone had decided I wasn’t allowed to succeed. I sat alone in a small hotel room that night, staring at my phone, refreshing my inbox like a fool, hoping and praying at least one company would be different. But nothing changed. And Kelvin… why would he do that? That question refused to leave my mind. It turned out he hated me so much and wanted to destroy me. My hands shook as I closed my laptop. So this was his power. Not just destroying people openly, but erasing them quie

The lady laughing paused and frowned. “What’s happening… You can’t knock?” “The door is automatic.” I raised a brow. The lady looked stunned. She glanced at the man sitting beside her, then at Kelvin too, and frowned. “How dare you speak back?” I quickly swallowed the rest of my words and forced myself to move toward Kelvin’s table and submit the file. Then I heard, “Honey! I want her to apologise.” She tapped Kelvin’s table. I was so surprised. Is she Kelvin’s girlfriend? Well… Kelvin won’t let me apologise to her, right? Then I heard Kelvin sigh and look at me. I quickly avoided his eyes and focused on the file. “Apologise to her and get out.” I froze. Was that for me? The lady smiled happily. “Exactly!” Not to cause problems, I said, “I’m sorry.” Then I turned around to leave. “Who told you to walk out?” I heard Kelvin say. I rolled my eyes and realised he accepted me just to bully me. That’s not worth it. To me, he’s still childish. I turned around and raised a brow. “Y

The next day, I rushed to the company, making sure I wouldn’t be late. Adam was dropped off at school, fed, and happy, but I hadn’t eaten anything myself. My stomach growled in protest, but there was no time to worry about it. I reached Kelvin’s office and started cleaning, just as his assistant had instructed. Dusting, straightening files, arranging pens… I wondered if I was a secretary or a cleaner. My hands ached before the day had even properly begun. A soft tap on the door made me freeze. The door opened, and I straightened immediately. He appeared in the doorway, arms crossed, his green eyes narrowing at me. “You’re moving too slow,” he said bluntly, as he had already noticed every small mistake I’d made. “I… I just started, sir,” I said carefully, trying to keep my voice steady. This wasn’t the Kelvin I used to know—this was my boss now, the one who was happily married. “Excuses don’t pay bills,” he muttered. “You have ten minutes to finish that corner, or we’ll see if you

"What about Adam?" I looked at him in disbelief. I quickly stood up and went to the CEO’s office… but froze.He was changing his shirt. I quickly looked away. "I'm sorry..." I blushed. "I will come back." I was about to escape when I heard him say...."Stop pretending and speak."I swallowed, still refusing to turn around. "I... I want to tell you that if I stay overnight, my son can't sleep alone at home.""Your friend?" he said.I sighed. So he remembered I had a friend? "She was kidnapped by her boyfriend and they will be doing a secret wedding. Alex didn’t plan to release her any time soon."Then there was silence. “Give my assistant your house address. A nanny will go and stay with him. A company suddenly brought an offer which we must submit before 8 a.m. tomorrow.”I stood there for a second. He said it so calmly. Like it was normal. Like sending strangers into my house was normal.“I don’t want a nanny,” I said, frowning. No matter how nice the nanny is, Adam will never stay w
