All Chapters of The CEO's plus-size baby mama : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Why is today this busy?”Chef Mike groans, his sharp voice barely cutting through the clatter of pans and shouting in the kitchen.As our head chef, he’s supposed to be the one keeping everyone calm.Instead, he looks like he’s about to lose his mind.I smile at him. “Tired so soon, Chef?”If you only knew.I turn back to my station, wiping the sweat from my forehead.The kitchen is unbearably hot. The fryers are hissing, pans are clattering, and everyone seems to be shouting at the same time.“Table twelve has been waiting for their order for twenty-nine minutes!” Mark shouts.“Where are Joan and the others?”“Attending to guests!”I look down at the dish in front of me.The sauce is perfect. The garnish is already in place.“Is it ready?”“Yes.”“Give it to me.”I quickly strip off my chef’s jacket and grab a server’s uniform.“Watch my station!”I rush out of the kitchen.By the time I finish serving table twelve and another eight tables, my legs are aching.Joan notices me leanin

A few weeks later, just when I begin putting my life back together, my body betrays me.At first, I ignore it.The exhaustion.The nausea.The dizziness that makes the room spin whenever I stand too quickly.I blame stress.Everything that happened has left me exhausted. Maybe my body is simply catching up with everything I've been through.But then one morning, I barely make it to the bathroom.I grip the sink as nausea tears through me.My knees weaken.I stare at my reflection.Pale skin.Tired eyes.Trembling lips.Something is wrong.“I can't keep ignoring this,” I whisper.By the time Anna finds me, I'm still holding onto the sink.Her expression changes the moment she sees me."Ruby?"“I don't know what's happening.”She doesn't argue.She doesn't ask me to wait.She simply takes my hand.“We're going to the hospital.”The smell of disinfectant hits me the moment we walk inside.My stomach twists again.A nurse takes my details before leading me into a small room.“We'll run a f

I take a deep breath.“Finally, we're here.”Six years.That's how long it has been.Six years have passed since I left this place.Six years since everything changed."Mommy?"I look down.Leona is staring up at me with wide, curious eyes.“This is where you grew up, Mommy?”I crouch to her level.“Yes, baby.”Her face lights up.“I heard there's a massive fair here.”“There is,” Liam says, adjusting his little glasses.“Every New Year.”My little professor.I smile.Then—“Mommy, I need to use the bathroom.”I turn toward Leon.The most mischievous of my three children is already shifting from one foot to another.Anna laughs.“You don't look like someone who wants to go.”“If you don't take me, I'm going to go here.”I stare at him."Fine."I sigh.“Anna, I'll find you at arrivals.”“Okay.”I take Leon's hand.“Liam, Leona, stay with Aunty Anna.”“Okay, Mommy!”I lead Leon toward the bathroom.Then he stops.“I can't go in there.”I look at the sign.“The women's bathroom?”“Yes.”“Leo, you're f

I have never seen the L-trio get close to another man apart from Silven and maybe their teachers. I stare at Older Leo. He also looks at peace with the children, as if this is where he has always been meant to be. I head to the table to collect the plates. "How was the food?" I ask Leo. He looks up at me. "Why not just open a restaurant? I mean, with these culinary skills, you could be at par with Chef R.J. This... I don't even have the words to describe this. Now that I have tasted the food, it seems you are underpricing." An amused laugh escapes my lips. "You thought it would be horrible, didn't you?" Leo looks down the way the kids do when they are guilty of something. I don't know why I think it's cute. Taking a deep breath, I shake the thoughts away. "You can't blame me, now can you?, Many beautiful women I know aren't known for their good cooking." Leona burps and then laughs. "Just marry Mommy, and you will have all the food in the world!" "Yes, marry Mommy!" my Le

LEON The moment someone calls her from behind, Rose stops walking. I watch as she slowly turns around. The smile that had been on her face a moment ago disappears, and she bites her lower lip while staring at the woman approaching us. Something changes in her expression. It's subtle, but I notice it. Rose looks as though she has just seen a ghost. “Mommy, come on.” Leon tugs impatiently at her shirt, but she doesn't seem to hear him. Instead, she slips her arm around mine, holding me as though she needs something to steady herself. I glance down at her hand before looking at the approaching woman. “No. It can't be Rose.” The woman stops directly in front of us, her eyes fixed on Rose. She looks genuinely shocked, almost as though she has encountered someone she never expected to see again. Her gaze shifts to the children. Then back to Rose. For a moment, none of us speak.“I'm sorry.” The woman suddenly straightens, forcing a smile that looks just as uncomforta
