Chapter 4
Naomi’s POV
As soon as my feet set foot in Circenn’s office, I quickly remind myself of my goal. Everything I’m committing to
Since this is the only thing keeping my ass from going without a place to live, I do not intend to get rid of the baby at this time.
And 11 merely threaten to get money out of Circenn if he doesn’t want the child. And I’ll consider that a major victory. Right?”
Im really not particularly interested in keeping the baby.
As a narcissu, I’m sure he’ll reject the child like I hope he would throw some money in my face, and tell me to get out of his office.
And maybe then I’ll take another path.
I know what I’m signing up for, and I’m ready to take every means necessary to live.
The man in glasses with blond hair, who has walked me inside Green’s office, shuts the door behind us, and I hear myself gulp.
The office is insanely spacious and elegant, just like I have imagined. There’s a shattered mug or plate on the floor, and Green is standing close to
his desk.
Even though that night we had sex was dark and I could barely see his face, I recognised that body from anywhere.
And that body inside a billion–dollar suit is just. Perfect
His physique is just beyond-
Pull yourself together. Naomi!
It’s not right to fawn over him, I am here strictly for business.
Circenn turns around, and I find myself gasping on the inside.
Now I understand why a lot of these women talk about the almighty Circenn all the time, it’s definitely not because he’s just crazy rich.
He’s a man of depriving charms.
He has these fiery hunter green eyes that could leave you wanting to stare at them forever, a perfect jawline that defines his high cheekbones, and that prominent nose that almost seems inhuman.
And such dark voluminous hair.
He looks at me, and my chest tightens
He is looking at me like some charity case
I definitely do not like those eyes on me.
“Naomi Gilmore, I suppose, the man in glasses saya..
“Yes,” I nod.
Why am I nervous all of a suddent
“State your business!” Cincenn’s voice is stern, familiar, and demanding. I find my legs shaking on the inside.
Where do I start?
Mr. Cicerin McCain We slept together weeks ago, and I’m pregnant, and I want your money.
That would blow his steam off
I have to get myself together
Okay, let’s take odreplicatio
12:54 PM & G
Chapter
“I’m pregnant,” I burst out
The room goes dead silent, with only the sound of my heartbeat taking over the place.
Caren arches his brows at me, and his partner in glasses looks at me with ultimate disbelief.
“And how is that any of my business?” Circean asks, shoving his hands in both of his pants pockets.
Okay. He sounds dead rude.
“it’s yours.“I try not to stutter.
He shares a glance with his partner before turning to me
He is horribly quiet until he finally decides to speak.
“I am sorry: I am trying to understand your words right now. You’re pregnant, and I’m the father. Circenn’s voice is grim and low.
“Yes,” I nod.
He scous, “What an insult!”
He doesn’t believe me. I knew he was not going to believe me easily.
1 can’t screw this up for myself,
“Almost three weeks ago, you came to the nightclubs called Sixty–Nine. That is where I work, and we shared a night.” I manage to speak without Stuttering.
His eyes travel from my head to my feet.
“I spent a night with you.” His tone is contrived, as if sharing a bed with me would be a criminal offense.
I would love this to be false.
“Yes, 1 gulped.
“Woman, I believe you’r
you’re mistaken. Ralph, please escort her out. Circenn growls almost quietly.
I yell the moment his partner Ralph walks up to me.
“But I’m telling the truth,” I yell
“It would be best if we continued this conversation on our way out, Miss,” Ralph adds quietly.
“But I am telling the truth,” I scoff, taking a step back as Ralph tries to grab my arm.
“You’re clearly mistaken, I assure you. So please, let’s have this conversation outside. Ralph tries to keep his voice calm as he gestures his hand towards the door.
“Circenn McCain is the father of my child, and it can clearly be proven!” I yell
Creenn lets out a sigh and slowly walks up to me, making Ralph take a step back.
His tractor–like height towers over me immediately, and he slowly leans down to match my height.
“Every single day, I get an insane amount of women dropping by or calling and claiming I either got them pregnant or something else, and somehow their only solution is money. What makes you different? What makes you think you can prove a lie?”
He thinks it’s a lie. My goodness.
1 feel stupid already.
“You just want my money, don’t you!”
His gaze is so intimidating, its mentally pinning me to the ground.
He’s right, though; I do want his money.
Hut I can swear on my dead parents‘ grave that he is the father of my child, and I will never let him think of me as a liar.
“No I want you to relieve you’re the father of my child.” I say sterly, burying my fear.
12:54 PM
Chapter 1
He lets out an angry scoff that reveals a glimpse of his manly dimple.
*Listen here.. Jennifer, or whatever your name is. I understand that people like you a lot. Your shallow boyfriend got you pregnant, and somehow your only means of money to help you and your child out is through me. But you’re wasting your time.”
“What?” My voice is loud.
He is as rude and all in his head, as people have testified.
are all in
“You can be pregnant, but it can never be mine? Circenn’s voice is low, and I see a glint of sadness and anger in his eyes.
“But I can prove it! I am not giving up.
“Take her home, Ralph,” Circenn starts to walk away, ignoring my every existence.
Ralph comes over to grab my hand, but I fight my way out of his grip.
“It’s been two years since I had sex, and 1 am not dumb, and I am strongly aware. You showed up at Sixty–Nine, and I know we slept together! And I know you do recall I don’t know where my sudden boost of confidence is coming from, but I am aware of it and I am loving it.
Circenn sighs and glances at Ralph b
before walking over to his desk
Ralph walks up to me again and lets out a sigh
“Yes, maybe Mr. McCain shared a night with you because he was indeed present at Sixty–Nine that night, but.. Ralph’s voice goes some circumstances that Mr. McCain went through, some stuff, I am afraid he is not the father of your child, miss
I scoff. “Can you elaborate?”
What the hell is he trying to say?
“It’s a bit confidential. But understand that the chances of Mr. McCain getting someone pregnant are highly unlikely.
Suddenly, whatever he is trying to say hits me.
“Are you talking about Mr. Circenn having erectile dysfunction Even the words sound weird rolling off my tongue.
There’s no way,
Circenn looks suddenly taken aback, and so does Ralph.
“I did not say that he is going through-
Circenn clears his throat, cutting Ralph off, but I find myself shaking my head.
child”
That’s impossible because he’s the father of my child”
slower. “Due to
“Ma’am please. It’s best if you leave. To not cause more chaos. Ralph gently places his hand behind my back, leading me towards the door.
“Okay, just stop! 1 yell, and Ralph stops.
Circenn snaps his head at me, and I pause to
use to catch
breath.
I get it now. He is looking at me like I’m some leech coming to dry off his extravagant life with my pathetic state.
Maybe that was my intention when I walked in here, but given the fact that he is not trying to correct himself while indirectly calling me a liar, I am not going to leave this place until I prove my point.
“I am pregnant, and I don’t know how you’re going to believe me or how to make you believe, but this is your child! That night we had sex, which I know you do recall. And now I am pregnant! I am saying this for the one hundredth time because I know I haven’t slept with anyone but you. Only because I wanted to get on your good side as a waitress,” I pause to catch my breath, and that’s when I start to feel this heavy lump in my throat.
Naomi. Do not την
I pull myself together and start to speak again.
-50
p you off. I am carrying your child, and that is all you need to know and accept
“So stop trying to act like I’m here to rip you
Somehow, I am starting to not care about his money or why I am here, because all I want is for him to acknowledge the fact that I am carrying his child, and he has to accept it
12:54 PM & G
Chapter 4
What manner of narcissism is thie
Just because he’s filthy rich doesn’t mean he can toss even the truth aside.
Circent shares a brief glance with Ralph, and in an instant, Ralph goes on to rummage through his desk, pulling out a folder,
Ralph hands the folder to me, and they both wait and watch me slowly open it
I pull out multiple papers and my eyes immediately scan the heavy essay or whatever has been written. Somehow it is a written statement from a hospital, the words are too medical and complicated for me to comprehend,
I definitely don’t speak medicine.
“I don’t understand” I shake my head.
Ralph takes a step forward, “it is a written statement and Medical proof that Mr. MCeain went through Radiation and chemotherapy which possible. side effect is infertility, so you saying you’re pregnant for Mr. McCain is sadly crazy”
My head suddenly feel hazy and I want to throw up.
Ralph takes the paper from me as I try to get a proper breathing.
This can’t be
“But I know wh-
Circenn immediately shuts me up.
“Wire her some money Ralph and make sure she doesn’t appear in front of me again, I really detest flies
