My Billionaire's Baby

"I'm pregnant," I said without hesitation. I gently swirled the contents of the glass I was examining. Ripples formed inside it, but nothing spilled out. The background noise I was facing was as turbulent as the liquid I was observing. Murky. Or rather, noisy.I usually came to this club just to unwind, but this time, even unwinding felt pointless. For me, it was just a routine visit, hanging out with my two incredibly talkative friends, whom I only agreed to come along with."Dang! Don't play around, Anya," one of them exclaimed."Shut up! If you want to joke, don't be that foolish!" Obviously, it wasn't my shout, but Doni's, who turned into Dona whenever he was with me. My male friend, who we often called Dona, never got offended by the nickname. He even joked that maybe in his previous life, he was indeed a Dona, minus the sideburns that occasionally grew around his jawline."I'm not joking," I replied wearily. My gaze now focused on them, observing how their faces displayed shock

Luckily, I didn't oversleep. I don't know when I fell asleep, but one thing's for sure, tonight I didn't sleep peacefully. Ever since I found out about the other life and a ton of burden suddenly fell on my shoulders, I couldn't sleep soundly anymore. My mind became chaotic. Even though I was attacked by drowsiness, I didn't want to close my eyes.To make matters worse, the events of that night replayed, albeit somewhat blurry. Now I understand what Naomi meant when she said that yesterday. Clearly. I was the one teasing Cedric. At first, I wanted to deny it and would continue to deny it. But in the end, I gave up. I did tease Cedric. Who wouldn't succumb to temptation when I was completely unaware, supposed to be more cautious than usual?A black dress above the knees with a high neckline. And to top it off, I was drunk. Is there anything else I regret? Plenty.That night wasn't the first time I did it. With Cedric, I mean, it was the second time. Back when I was still in college, I

"Anya, aren't you eating?" Naomi asked, looking puzzled, I suppose. My best friend seemed to be helping Dona destroy my kitchen.Speaking of the two of them, don't forget about Dona, who now ruled my kitchen as if she owned it. They dropped by after work, uninvited. I didn't want to entertain any visitors, but what could I say when they were already in the lobby asking to be picked up."Later," I replied lazily. I preferred to sit back as I was still tired. Plus, I suddenly felt annoyed. I quickly opened my bag and took out the paper with Cedric's name on it. That darn guy!I crumpled the paper and immediately threw it into the trash can near the TV. "Damn it!""Why are you upset?" Dona asked, approaching me with a plate of freshly fried potatoes. The hot aroma still wafted, indicating that they had just been taken out of the frying pan. "I'm really hungry. Anya didn't want to get food first. She said she was afraid you'd faint."I rolled my eyes irritably. "Both of you are so annoyin

Every time I stepped into the office; I could always smell the damask rose aroma from a well-known brand's scent diffuser. It's because Krystal loves roses so much. I didn't mind it because it was refreshing and made the whole room smell nice. That's why I also stocked up on many room fresheners for my apartment.The scent I chose was more of spices and woods. It made me feel like I was in a pine forest—peaceful and serene.But this time, despite feeling perfectly fine in the morning—no weird sensations or sudden nausea—right when I opened the office door after lunch, I felt queasy. I rushed to the toilet and ended up vomiting everything I had for lunch. No leftovers. It seemed like the remnants of breakfast had successfully occupied the toilet too.I gasped for breath, feeling like a fish, panting heavily from what I had just expelled without pause or apology. I had no idea how long I had been in the bathroom. Fortunately, no other employees entered. At least no one asked me what was

"Damn it!!!" I cursed while hitting the steering wheel. Ignoring the slightly painful and definitely reddening hand, I quickly removed the car freshener as soon as my stomach started acting up. I threw it away in a rush, feeling confused about how I would get to the office now.Should I hang a eucalyptus oil bottle here? Ugh, so inconvenient!!!I massaged the bridge of my nose, trying to regulate my breathing and occasionally inhaling the scent of eucalyptus oil. I desperately tried to keep my stomach from acting up in the basement. I was sure I'd pass out if I vomited again."Miss Anya? Miss... are you okay?"When I turned around, I found one of the building security guards looking at me with concern. Before I could answer his question, my phone rang loudly. I nodded briefly at him, prioritizing the phone call over his question."Yes, ma'am?"I blinked, hearing the familiar voice on the other end."Alright, ma'am. I'm on the way."Now I was in a dilemma about how to get to the office
