“You are eight weeks pregnant.” The doctor's voice came out low as she passed the ultrasound report to her. Hell stunned! If there was a greater word to use in describing her facial expression right now, then It would really help since her expression right now is something that can't be written about. Still shocked she reached for the Ultrasound report to see for herself, since she couldn't believe her ears. *Eight weeks pregnant* Amelia Johnson suddenly felt her entire body go numb, as though she had been poured by an ice water immediately she saw the three words that appeared on the ultrasound report. But how did she get pregnant? It only happened once. And how is it that she's just finding out about it after two months? Was she really that naive? What was she going to do about it? How is she going to live while carrying a baby all by herself? Was her baby going to be fatherless? Amelia repressed her rampant thoughts and rubbed her forehead softly. Suppressing the frustration
“What do you want?” Amelia's voice came out frostily and Mr Hills let out a stiff chuckle, which sent sparks flying around the office and Madam Jenny apologized. “Amelia” Madam Jenny banged her fist on the desk. “Do you have no idea of what you have done? You hit this young man on the face and still you have the guts to become so rude? He is a model of his company and not supposed to have a scratch on his face. But there is a red bump on his face and instead of taking legal actions, he wants to settle this issue quietly so you be grateful and apologize to him this instant.” Amelia only pursed her lips and started to move it soundlessly. They haven't even given her a room to explain what happened and yet they wanted an apology from her? Never! She wasn't going to say such a thing! “I didn't do anything wrong” she rebuked in a frosty tone. By now her folded fists were already turning pale. “He tried to force himself on me and I lost my cool and hit him on the face. It was self defe
Just as the tears rolled down her cheeks, someone tapped her from behind. Amelia turned back and saw her grandfather who quickly took a seat close to her. “Amelia what is wrong? Why the tears dearest?” her grandfather voiced out after staring at her for a while and saw her reddened eyes. Amelia cleaned her tears and bit hard on her lips, her facial expression suddenly turned to a bubbly one and letting out a smile she turned to her grandfather and replied “I am not crying grandpa, I only caught a dust in my eyes. I'm totally fine.” Amelia knew that her grandfather was soon going to get sleepless nights because of her, so she had to lie in order for him to sleep well. That was how it has always been since he started taking care of her alone after the death of her grandmother. She quickly wrapped her hand around her grandfather's arm and rested her head on his shoulder, perceiving his sweet scent which she would always refer to as *Strawberry* Although her grandfather was a step
Shortly a knock was heard on the door and Norton, Clyde's personal assistant, walked in graciously as usual. He bowed briefly and reported “Mr Adric the chairman wishes to see you.” Standing up Clyde arranged his suit and marched towards the door but stopped on his track when he remembered something. Having a bleak expression on his handsome face he turned to the woman beside him. “Before I forget, when you are done taking a tour around my office you should leave.” he replied coldly, not giving her a glance. “And please I would appreciate it if you don't ever show your face in my work place again.” Ava turned immediately and she heard those words that came out of Clyde's mouth but all she saw was an open door since Clyde left before she could notice. Ava wondered how her beautiful relationship with her son came to this. Perhaps it was all her fault and she needed to carry her cross now. Biting her lips she tried to hold back the tears that had threatened to fall ever since she st
The chairman was correct, he has always hated Ferguson treating him like trash when he was older than ferguson. When Peter, Clyde's father was alive, he was at the verge of taking over the company but death took him away before he could even sign the papers. Years later and it was time for Clyde to be the Ceo and owner of the company but it didn't work out since he had refused to get married and have a child. And now Matthew, Clyde's uncle who was supposed to be the Ceo of the company handed it over to his son Ferguson, who was now the present Ceo of the company. Ever since Ferguson became the Ceo and Clyde the managing director who worked under him, it was never easy for Clyde since going to work everyday suddenly became like stepping on fiery charcoal. Was it humiliation publicly? Embarrassment? Or curses? Clyde endured all of it throughout the years. It was a fair game but too fair that it slapped Clyde's so hard on the face. He had a reason for not wanting to get married but hi
Puzzled, Amelia reached for her face and indeed it was stained with tears. Her perfect happy face was now replaced with a groggy one. When she finally understood what was going on, a scoff escaped her lips and she turned to her grandfather. “Why else do you think I'm crying grandpa?!” she sneered and resumed eating her food. Meanwhile her grandfather was still taken aback by her current change of mood. Hence he uttered no words but simply stared at her. Amelia knew her grandfather was staring at her so she avoided meeting with his eyes. However she felt her heart thumping when she saw how he was looking at her. Getting fed up she dropped her spoon in a bang. She knew he needed an answer and she was determined to give him one. “Grandpa, I was crying because you told me that you were going to take the food away if I don't slow down.” she said truculently and pushed her hair back. “Do you think it's fair? Why would you scold a grown up lady?” Her grandfather remained silent as he s
Getting out of the car, Norton closed the door in a bang and rushed over to the front only to see a young lady on the floor who was searching her body to see as if she had lost a gem. Having a baffled facial expression, Norton rushed to the young lady and squatted in front of her before he asked “Are you ok ma'am? Did you perhaps lose anything?” Amelia, who was so engrossed in searching her body for blood that she didn't notice the presence of the young man in front of her... slowly raised her head and immediately she heard his voice. Having seen him for the first time, Amelia felt as though she had seen him before. Ignoring his questions, she darted her gaze from him and to her legs again still searching for blood. Just when she didn't find any, she rubbed her stomach softly and let out a sigh of relief. “I am fine, thank you for your concern.” Amelia let out a smile and tried to stand, when Norton offered to help her instead. “Not all that ma'am, I almost hit you with the car a
Entering into his office in rage, Clyde loosened his necktie and walked straight to his desk scattering everything that was on it. He was obviously frustrated and needed something to vent his anger on.His previously paled face was now flushed red with fury. Tears welled up in those crystal clear eyes of his but he banged on his desk to stop them from touching his cheeks.Prior to this, he had swore never to cry for anyone after his mother left him when he was ten and his first love betrayed him. But right now he was helpless, having no one by his side and all he could do was cry.Letting the tears fall down on his flawless face, he let out a scream “Why? Why me?!” Luckily the office was sound proofed, therefore no one could tell what was going on inside. He fell on his knees and began to sob softly, rubbing his neck at the same time.After crying for a while, he cleaned his tears and stood up. Just when he wanted to take his seat, his right hand began to tremble which caused tears t
