Chapter 5

I take a step back and look Ralph in the eye.
His eyes hold nothing but irritation for me, and the same goes for Circen..
They both think I’m lying.
I don’t have any proof, so they’re bound to win.
Tjust have one week of pregnancy and no proof at all.
I could have suggested a DNA test, but I looked it up on my way here, and you can’t get DNA for just a week of pregnancy; you have to wait until
seven to nine weeks.
I’ve messed up
I wasn’t prepared at all.
I could have waited until
seven weeks.
But I don’t even want to keep this baby, I’m only here because I want Circenn’s money out of it, unless I won’t be able to get it together with my apartment expenses this month
But now that he
he has offered me the money, I feel really weird, and I want to cry.
He detests fes
Did I really look like a fly walking through that door!
Does he really think I’m one of those wannabe ladies who think he’s all that I don’t blame him, though; anyone as wealthy as him would be all over their heads.

1 glance back at him and feel my mouth quiver. I can already feel my tears dropping and my eyes getting hot and ready for more tears.
This is humiliating. I feel like a fraud, which I am not
Well, he’s done it

I can go so

myself from being tagged as a liar.
That’s why I’m going to let the truth speak for itself.
I’m keeping this baby till heaven knows when.
I’ll be back. Seven weeks, ten weeks? Whatever week. I’ll be back for a DNA test to be carried out. I don’t care if his medical bullsh*t s infertile.
The fact is that we f*cked, and he got me pregnant
Both men seem uninterested in my tears, and after a quick glance at each other, Ralph walks up to me.

“It’s time to leave Naomi Gilmore. Mr. Circenn has stated he is not the father of your child. Let me walk you out of the door, we should not repeat the same thing over and over again” Ralph slides his hand across his dirty blond hair.
I don’t bulge, in Ralph pulls out his phone.
“You know we just offered you the money you wanted, so accept and leave quietly while Mr. McCain is being nice. Ralph adds

Chapter 5
Circen comes close to me again and leana down at me.
“Do you want to get sued” His voice is low, raspy, and holds a lot of bass–the same tone he had whispered in my ear that night we shared a bed.
His hunter eyes glare at me, and the same lips that had wandered and tasted around my neck down to my chest quivered as he stopped talking.
Such a jerk!
“I can’t get sued for telling the truth,” I scoff
“You really are a stubborn one, aren’t you? And I really dislike women like you. Stop being so difficult, take my damn money, and get the f*ck out of my sight. It wasn’t enough for you to insult me that I slept with a hobo like you; you’re trying to pin a fuckin‘ pregnancy on me. Wasn’t your goal here to beg? Stop over–acting and leave. His tone is raiding, and my chest tightens
I hate him so much.
“Look, I don’t care anymore; try to sue me; we’ll find out anyway. The truth never hides”
Now I am 100 percent sure I want to keep this baby.
He smirks, “The truth! You should be lucky I let you in my office today”
int for you after a one–night stand, and telling the press, I know that
“If you hadn’t, I would have made a banner outside that says I’m pregnant for stain your reputation badly.”
It feels like my words got to him badly, because his brows suddenly twitched and he straightened his back.
He clears his throat “Ralph, give this beggars

came here for and more than enough to remember my good deed.“.
would
I want to smack his handsome face so bad.
He glares at me,
“I liserally own this city. Jennifer, or whatever your name is. I have eyes everywhere, and because of what you did today, I’d like you to watch your back. You wouldn’t want to see me anywhere after today. This city is my domain, and trust me… I am not nice.”
He walks out of his office, leaving me completely speechless and shocked.
I won’t lie, his words just frightened the shit out of me–his tone, his glare.
Was that a freaking threat?
The handsome man of the hour is the man who makes it through every paper, blog, and ad. The one man that everyone looks up to so much.
Circenn McCain, It is definitely not nice
“Miss Naomi” Ralph’s voice catches my attention again, and I look up to meet his hand.
“I’ll like your account details, now let’s settle this” He presses me a flaccid smile, and I feel my heart fall right into my
y stomach.
I walk out of the enormous building, feeling defeated. I bit my bottom lip to prevent myself from crying.
I went there with full confidence, only for it to be squashed by the cruelty of Circenn.
I look down at my p

The crazy amount of zeros behind the fifty is enough to last me for ten years, and the more I stare at it, the m floor.

But it’s what I wanted. I got the money, but I’m not satisfied.
This isn’t over.
It surely isn’t. I’ll leave the city, as Circenn wants. But I’ll be back to reveal the truth about his baby. Idon’t juu hack down without a light

Chapter 5
At least his stupid money is enough for me to start over.
I take a deep breath and stretch my hand out for a cab, my mental screen holding nothing but Circenn’s face.
People’s approach sure feel different when they want something and when they don’t.
It wasn’t the same man I slept with that night.
I feel a stinging discomfort around my tummy as soon as the taxi pulls up in front of me.
I come to a stop on my path and take a few deep breaths.
What on earth was that?
As I move forward, my stomach aches again in a way that causes me to definitely lose my breath.
