Alexander was seething with anger as he paced back and forth in his office, his mind replaying the conversation he had just had with Celine. How could she not have told him about the pregnancy earlier? He couldn't believe that she had kept this from him for so long.He knew he had to control his anger, but it was difficult. He understood that Celine was probably scared and didn't know how he would react, but she could have tell him.As he sat at his desk, he tried to process his emotions. He had never wanted to get married, but now that the possibility was staring him in the face, he couldn't deny that he was feeling conflicted. On one hand, he loved babies and had always been good with kids. On the other hand, he valued his independence and didn't want to be tied down to a family.But he couldn't ignore the fact that he was the father of this child, and he had a responsibility to ensure that the baby was taken care of. He knew he couldn't just walk away from this situation. Taking a
The next day, Alexander went to Isabella apartment to tell her about Celine's pregnancy. As Alexander sat across from Isabella, he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He knew that he had to tell her the truth, but he also knew that it was going to be a difficult conversation. Isabella had been his girlfriend for nearly a year, and he cared deeply for her. However, the news that he had to share was not something that he could keep hidden any longer.He took a deep breath and began to explain the situation to her."Isabella, there's something I need to tell you. A lady I had one night stand when I was drunk some months ago named Celine is carrying my child," Alexander said, his voice steady but hesitant.Isabella's eyes widened with shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her mind was racing with a million thoughts, and her heart felt like it was about to explode."What? How could you do this to me, Alexander? You told me you loved me and that you want
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Celine finally spoke up.Celine, however, didn't share Alexander's enthusiasm. She was surprised by his suggestion and wasn't quite sure how to respond."Thank you for the offer, Alexander, but I have to decline," she said firmly.Alexander was taken aback by her response. He had expected her to jump at the chance to move in with him, but instead, she was refusing."Why not? Don't you think it would be best for the baby?" Alexander asked, his voice rising slightly in frustration."I appreciate your concern, but I am an independent woman, and I have my own life and my own home. I don't want to give that up just because I'm pregnant," Celine explained.Alexander felt a wave of anger wash over him. He couldn't believe that Celine was being so difficult. Didn't she understand that he was trying to do what was best for their child?"Celine, you have to understand that this isn't just about you anymore. You have a responsibili
The day of the launch finally arrived, and Celine was a bundle of nerves. She arrived at the event early, making sure everything was set up and ready to go. Her employees bustled around her, putting the finishing touches on the displays and preparing to greet the first customers.As the doors opened, Celine held her breath. She watched as people entered the store, eyeing the new skincare line with interest. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she approached the first customer."Hi, can I help you with anything?" she asked, her voice a little shaky.The customer smiled warmly. "I'm interested in the new skincare line. Can you tell me more about it?"Celine launched into her well-practiced spiel, describing the benefits of each product and the unique ingredients they contained. As she spoke, she could feel her confidence growing. This was her passion, and she knew everything there was to know about these products.Throughout the day, Celine and her employees fielded questi
Adam patted his friend on the back. "Well, maybe she just needs some time to think about it. You never know, she might change her mind," he said, trying to be optimistic.Alexander smiled weakly, feeling a sense of hope. "Yeah, maybe you're right. I just hope everything works out in the end," he said, his mind already racing with thoughts of how he could support Celine and their child.As Alexander and Adam continued their conversation, Alexander's phone suddenly began to ring. He glanced at the screen, only to see that the call was coming from Celine's phone. His heart skipped a beat as he answered the call, his mind racing with worry."Hello?" he answered, his voice trembling."Is this Alexander?" a woman's voice asked on the other end."Yes, it is. Who is this?" he asked, his anxiety rising."I'm calling from Celine's phone. She collapsed at the shopping mall and we had to rush her to the hospital. You need to come here immediately," the woman said urgently.Alexander's heart sank
Alexander felt a wave of relief wash over him as Celine agreed to move in with him. He smiled at her, feeling grateful and happy. "I'll send my driver to come pick you up," he said, his voice full of excitement.Celine nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Thank you, Alexander. I appreciate it," she said softly.Before he left, Alexander took out his wallet and handed a wad of cash to the lady who had called him. "Please, take this. It's a token of my appreciation for letting me know that Celine was in the hospital," he said, his tone gracious.The lady's eyes widened as she counted the money. "Thank you, sir! You're so generous. Celine is lucky to have you," she said, her voice tinged with admiration.Celine blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed by the lady's teasing. "He's not my husband," she said, her voice quiet.The lady winked at Celine, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "Well, he should be! You're both so rich and handsome. You'd make a perfect couple," she
Celine POVCeline sat on the edge of the hospital bed, looking at her friend Rachel as she helped her pack her things. She couldn't believe that she was finally being discharged from the hospital. The past few days had been a blur of doctors, nurses, and medication. She was exhausted, both physically and emotionally, but she was also excited to start a new chapter in her life."Thanks for helping me pack, Rachel," Celine said, looking up at her friend. "I don't know what I would do without you."Rachel smiled and patted Celine's hand. "Of course, girl. You know I'm always here for you. And I'm so happy that you're moving in with Alexander. It's about time you two took that step."Celine nodded, a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. "Yeah, it feels like the right thing to do. And he's been so supportive throughout all of this. I just hope I can be a good girlfriend and mother to his child.""Girl, you've got this. You're one of the strongest people I know," Rachel said, zipp
As Celine stepped into the grand foyer of Alexander's mansion, she was greeted by the sight of an impeccably dressed woman who appeared to be in her late fifties. She had a warm smile and kind eyes that immediately put Celine at ease."Welcome, my dear. You must be Celine," the woman said, stepping forward to greet her.Celine nodded, feeling a little nervous. "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you."The woman's smile widened. "I'm Mrs Jenkins, the housekeeper. Alexander has told me all about you. I'm so glad you'll be joining us here."Celine relaxed a little, feeling a sense of relief at Mrs Jenkins' welcoming manner. She had been worried about how she would fit in with Alexander's staff, but Mrs Jenkins seemed genuinely friendly."Thank you, Mrs Jenkins. It's nice to meet you too," Celine said, smiling back.Mrs Jenkins gestured towards the stairs. "Let me show you to your room. It's on the second floor, just down the hall from Alexander's."As they started up the stairs, Celine couldn't hel
