CHAPTER 1 What? I’m Pregnant?

I’m burning up… Anna Gabriel felt like fire was burning inside her body perhaps due to the beer she drank. Besides, she had this weird and strange feeling. And she became increasingly uneasy because of this feeling. As she tossed and turned in bed, she took off her clothes piece by piece. Still, she felt hot as hell. Because she felt itchy down there, she kept rubbing her thighs. Anna felt so weird that she wanted to thrust her fingers into her secret garden to see what was going on. Drowsy, she heard the door open. Anna tried to open her eyes. And she saw several men standing upright at the door and welcoming a tall and muscular man who was walking in the middle of the red carpet. A while later, the man stopped and said coldly, “It’s her, right?” “Yes, young master.” What are they talking about? Who is he? Is he Harry? But he doesn’t sound like Harry… Anna wondered. Just when she wanted to see the man’s face clearly, the man quickly closed the door. It was too dark for her to see anything, so Anna only heard the footsteps coming closer to the bed later on. And then, she heard the scraping sound of clothes, and she assumed that the man should be undressing himself. A few moments later, as the man leaned over, Anna instantly sensed the coldness from his body. And she couldn’t resist climbing on him. For her, that icy cold feeling was way too comfortable. She lay tightly on top of him, stretching out her bare arms and legs to wrap his body. The man tightened his body, his eyes were covered with lust, and he accurately captured Anna’s red lips in the darkness. And then, he rolled over and pinned her down, getting the hold of the game. Anna’s breath smelled so good that the man gently bit her lips and sucked them like crazy. When tasting her lips, the man smelled a faint scent of alcohol coming from her mouth. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, Anna kissed the man back enthusiastically. As Anna was already wet and soft to the touch, the man barely needed to do any extra foreplay. Without hesitation, he lifted her plump ass and thrust his hugeness straight in. “Ouch…” Anna moaned painfully and arched her body, “Harry, it hurts… Harry… please don’t be with her…” The man paused. It was the first time that a woman called out another man’s name on his bed. She was also the first virgin he met. As Anna constricted her walls, the man found it hard to go deeper. Still, he managed to make it to the deepest part with force. Again, Anna curled up from the pain. Yet, to the man, he felt the pleasure was very intense. And he was addicted to it. “Relax. It won’t hurt later,” The man whispered in her ear. The unfamiliar voice snapped some sense into Anna. He’s not Harry! Harry is already with my best friend so how could he be on my bed? “You… who are you? Don’t touch me…” Anna desperately clawed at him and her long nails scratched his neck, causing him to groan in pain. She also managed to yank something from his neck in panic. However, the man didn’t intend to stop at all. As he went deeper and faster, the pain dissipated with the onset of pleasure. And their erotic moans grew louder and louder in the luxurious suite. When the next morning came, they both fell asleep due to exhaustion. *** “Ah!” Anna suddenly woke up and her back was covered with sweat. She dreamed of that night again. Gasping for air, she wiped the sweat from her face. She could still hear the man’s deep and sexy voice, feel his cold and firm chest, and sense his stare into her eyes. Moreover, she still remembered how it felt when they grooved together passionately and the faint mint scent from his body. That night a couple of months ago was her most messed up night. After she saw her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend, Anna went to a bar to drown her sorrows. However, her drink was drugged by someone and she was taken to a luxurious suite and lost her virginity to a tall and strong man as a result. Every time she thought of the fact that she lost her virginity when she was not in the right mind, Anna felt annoyed and even frustrated. Anna blushed and felt hot all over and dared not think any more of it. She quickly changed her clothes. *** In the lab, Anna was busy preparing a lab report when her classmate brought back a tuna sandwich. “Mmph!” The instant she smelled the tuna, Anna threw down the unfinished report, ran to the restroom, and retched for a long time. “Anna, are you okay? Are you pregnant? Is that why you’re retching like that?” Her classmate asked her with concern. Anna was stunned by what her classmate said and she instantly turned pale. I’m pregnant? How could it be? She thought. Later, at the hospital, the doctor handed Anna a report and pointed to her abdomen, saying, “Congratulations, Ms. Gabriel. You’re 10 weeks pregnant! And you’re pregnant with twins. They look healthy.” Anna’s vision blurred and she staggered. She quickly held onto the wall to steady herself. Pregnant… I’m really pregnant? Anna mumbled to herself in disbelief. But who’s the child’s father? Who’s the man I slept with that night? Damn it! I can’t afford to raise a baby, let alone two babies! I’m still a college student! But they’re my children. I can’t… Feeling torn, Anna lingered along the hospital corridor for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind and rushed into the doctor’s office, saying, “Doctor, I can’t keep the babies. I want an abortion.” “What?” The doctor gasped, “But are you sure about that?” “I… I can’t have them! I can’t afford to raise the children. They may suffer if I bring them to the world. I love them very much and I don’t want to let them suffer,” Anna grabbed the doctor’s hand and begged, “Believe me, doctor. I’ve thought it through. Could you please let me have the abortion now?” Finally, the doctor agreed to help Anna, knowing that an unmarried college student like Anna wasn’t capable of raising the children on her own. Under her guidance, Anna walked into the operation room. After taking off her shoes, she lay on the operating table. Although she was mentally prepared for it, her entire body turned icy cold and she broke into a cold sweat. “Hi, Babies, I’m sorry. Please don’t blame me, okay? I really don’t have a choice…” Anna whispered as she touched her abdomen. Just when the procedure was about to begin, the door was forcefully kicked open. Then several men in black suits rushed in. “Who, who are you? This is the operating room. Please get out!” A doctor said to them seriously. Before Anna could react, a man walked over and injected her with an anesthetic. The doctor and nurses were startled. One of them took out his phone and wanted to call the police. Yet, the head of the hospital showed up and stopped him immediately. “Our young master ordered us to do so. This woman has never come to the hospital and you have never seen us. Understood?” One of the men in black turned to the head of the hospital, who was covered in sweat, and warned. “Yes… understood,” Wiping the sweat from his forehead, the principal stammered. *** A while later, Anna woke up and found herself inside a luxurious bedroom. Because of the effect of the anesthetic, she was dizzy and felt like throwing up. Looking up at the luxuriously-decorated suite, she soon realized she might be taken to a villa. Where am I? How did I get here? She wondered. “Ms. Gabriel, how are you feeling now?” At that moment, a middle-aged man knocked on the door and walked in with a tray of food. He smiled as Anna looked at him in surprise. “Who are you? How, how do you know my name?” Anna asked vigilantly. “Well, I not only know your name, but I also know that your family business is about to go bankrupt.” Hearing his words, Anna became more vigilant. Looking at him with terror in her eyes, she asked, “Why did you bring me here? Are you going to imprison me? This is illegal. I’m warning you!” “Ms. Gabriel, I think I owe you an explanation. You’re pregnant with our young master’s child now. What happened that night… was an accident. We arranged a surrogate mother for our young master but somehow, our young master got into your room by mistake. Actually, we’ve been watching you recently. And our master actually knows that you went to the hospital. That’s why we got to stop you from making a horrible decision in time.” The butler was very apologetic, “Our master said that since you are pregnant, then he wants the child. And he always wants to have a child.” Anna now understood that he was referring to the man who took her virginity. Then she snapped, “Who is your ‘young master’, huh?” “Well, you don’t have to know about that,” The butler replied a bit awkwardly. “Then tell your young master that I won’t do as he said. It’s my child and it’s my body. I will abort the child if I want to!” Hearing that, the butler handed a phone to Anna and said calmly, “Why don’t you read this first?” Anna was unwilling to do so. But then as she saw the headlines on the screenshot, she couldn’t take her eyes off the phone. “The Gabriel Group was exposed to have used fake materials. Its stock value crashed this morning. Will the Gabriel Group go bankrupt because of this?” No, no, no… It can’t be! The Gabriel Group is already in crisis before the incident. If it goes bankrupt, all the employees of the group will suffer! Although I’m not close to father, I still can’t bear to see him go bankrupt. Thinking of that, Anna yelled at the butler with a glare, her face pale, “Your master did it, right? How could he be so shameless?!” The butler replied calmly, “Ms. Gabriel, as long as you give birth to this baby, the Gabriel Group will be alright and you will also receive four million dollars. You don’t want your family business to go bankrupt, do you? If you give birth to the child, our young master will have a child and you’ll receive a large sum of money. It’s a win-win. Besides, do you still think you have other options?”

CHAPTER 2 Being His Surrogate

Clenching the phone in her hand, Anna thought to herself with a frown, No, I don’t have a choice. The Gabriel Group can’t go bankrupt! Besides, if I sign the agreement, the babies will survive. It seems to be a good option. It’s just that… The young master the butler mentioned is such a jerk! How dare he use this dirty trick to force me?! But since he could make the head of the hospital listen to him without hesitation and offer me so much money, he must be someone rich and powerful. I’d better not mess up with him. Knowing what was on her mind, the butler handed her a document silently. Anna looked through the document for a long time and then said through her gritted teeth, “I’ll sign it!” After Anna handed over the signed document, the butler said in satisfaction, “Rest assured, Ms. Gabriel. Our young master will fulfill what he has promised after the child is born. And you should stay in this villa until the baby is born. We’ll arrange for doctors and nurses to look after you.” After signing the agreement, it suddenly dawned on Anna that the butler didn’t seem to know that she was pregnant with twins, and the agreement said that they would take one child from her. She thought to herself, So, does it mean that I can raise the other child with the money they are going to compensate me? But I don’t think I can fool the doctors and nurses to believe that I’m pregnant with only one child. Wait! The money! I can bribe them with the money! Also, that mysterious man only wants one child. It doesn’t matter to him if I take one of his children away. Besides, they’re also MY CHILDREN! *** Anna was an easy-going person. And soon, she became friends with the doctors and nurses that the butler arranged for to look after her. As they got along with each other better and better, they were even willing to help Anna keep one of her children to herself. During the pregnancy, Anna felt that time passed slowly yet quickly. She could only walk around inside the villa for months. As the villa and the surroundings were heavily guarded, it was impossible for Anna, a pregnant woman, to run away. Occasionally, the butler would come to the villa to visit Anna and see how she was doing. Yet, the mysterious man had never showed up. Anna didn’t know who he was or what he looked like, however, she was pregnant with his children. And when she touched her belly, she often had the feeling that she was living in a nightmare. 8 months later… Rumble! A thunderclap woke Anna. A bit terrified by the thunderclap, Anna turned on the light and sat up. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her belly. Sweating all over, she felt that her water broke. Because it was the first time that Anna was going to give birth, she was very scared. And the fact that she would have twins scared her even more. She was scared that something would happen to her during the labor, and she was scared that both of her children would be taken away. However, at this critical moment, she had no choice but to trust the doctors and nurses. Then, with all her strength, she reached for the bell on the bedside table. In no time, she heard the doctors and nurses hurry to her room. Anna had tried her best to stay awake. But the pain was so unbearable that she blacked out the next second. A while later, Anna woke up and heard the nurses saying, “They’re coming! The babies are coming out!” “We have a healthy boy and a healthy girl!” Anna huffed and puffed and heard the baby crying. She struggled to open her eyes to see her children but the nurse had already taken the baby boy away. Meanwhile, another nurse took the baby girl to Anna and whispered to her, “Your daughter is safe with me. I’ll take care of her for you for a while. After you leave this place, I’ll take her to you.” Nodding, Anna said to the nurse gratefully, “Thank you so much!” A few minutes later, the butler arrived happily. Anna was still in pain when she asked, “Where is my baby?” “He is with young master. It’s a healthy boy. Ms. Gabriel, please remember, from now on, you’ll have nothing to do with the child,” The butler said and placed an envelope on the table, “Here’s a check for four million dollars. Thanks for everything.” After that, the butler turned to leave. “No. Stop! Please let me see my child…” Anna panicked and struggled to get out of bed. I really want to see my baby boy! He’s my child! How is it possible that I don’t love him?! But that man, he definitely won’t let me see my son. I’m just a stranger to him. He surely won’t care about how I feel. I just wanna see my son before he’s taken away; even if just taking a glance at him. However, Anna was too weak and collapsed on the ground immediately. Her abdomen throbbed frequently, causing her to squeak in pain. As she saw him walking away, Anna said in a pleading tone, “I beg you! Please let me see my baby…” Yet, the butler ignored her and walked away with the baby boy. At the thought that she would never see her son again, Anna felt that her heart was broken into millions of pieces. But she pulled herself together when thinking of her daughter. She had to stay strong for her daughter. Slowly, Anna closed her eyes in pain. As she was so weak, she fainted on the ground… *** Five years later at the Southside City airport. A young man walked out of the crowd. He looked conspicuous in a black shirt and business suit. He also wore a pair of sunglasses and looked like the ‘Men in Black’. As soon as he walked out of the luggage pick-up area, his assistant, Gabe Lesley, rushed forward to carry his suitcase and said, “Mr. Wright, little master has not eaten for a day. Shall we head to the mansion first?” “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” He glared at the assistant. Everyone in the Wright family knew how precious little master was to Mr. Wright. And Mr. Wright was always gentle and affectionate towards his boy. Gabe felt guilty but braced himself up as he replied, “You went to Chicago to sign the important business contract. I was worried that I’d distract you so I did not call you and tell you about it. I didn’t expect little master to refuse to eat for a day…” Wayne stopped suddenly, took off his sunglasses, and then glared at the assistant. Seeing Wayne’s eyes, which were dark yet burning with fire, Gabe’s knees went wobbly. He could tell that Wayne was definitely angry…Oh, god… Are you going to fire me? Thinking of that, Gabe shuddered. “So, now you’re making the decisions for me?” Wayne asked coldly. “I’m, I’m sorry…” Gabe looked down and was prepared for the worse. At this moment, a small chocolate rolled next to Wayne’s shoes. Wayne looked at the chocolate and frowned. He bent down to pick up the chocolate. “Sir, that’s my chocolate!” A little girl ran over. The little girl was around four to five years old. As she ran too fast, she accidentally bumped into Wayne. Even when Wayne squatted down, she had to look up at him. Wayne was astonished by her cuteness and stared at her. And his heart skipped a beat as he met her big and round eyes. Surprised, he thought to himself. How strange! It’s the first time I’ve met the little girl. But why do I have the feeling that we have met each other before? Tammy Gabriel tilted her head and extended her hand towards Wayne, “Sir, if you like eating chocolate, you can buy your own chocolate. I only have three. I don’t have spare ones to share with you.” Hearing her cute words, Wayne’s cold face softened a little. “Do you like this brand of chocolate?” Wayne handed her the chocolate and asked. Meanwhile, Gabe was surprised by the scene. Apart from little master, Mr. Wright does not like any other children. Why does he squat down to speak with this little girl so tenderly as if he is talking to his son? Tammy nodded and smiled, revealing her cute bunny teeth as she asked, “Do you also like this brand of chocolate, sir?” “I don’t like it but my son loves it,” Wayne said and took out a box of the same chocolate from his bag.

CHAPTER 3 She Grabbed His Butt

I bought a lot for my kid. Here’s a box for you.” “Wow!” Tammy’s eyes lit up when she saw the box of candies but she hesitated, “Mommy said I shouldn’t accept anything from strangers.” “But…” Tammy then leaned towards Wayne, kissed his cheek and then grabbed the box of candies, “Now I can.” Wayne was stunned and then grinned. Gabe looked at the time and said, “Sir, it’s time to go.” “Okay. Little girl, goodbye.” Wayne got up and left with Gabe. “Bye-bye!” Tammy waved at him as she gasped at how handsome Wayne was. She said to herself, This man looks so handsome! He and Mommy will make a perfect couple! “Tammy!” Her mother yelled angrily, pulling Tammy’s mind back to earth. The next moment, a lady rushed over, grabbed Tammy’s little hand, and gently smacked it. She said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you to stay where you were? Why did you wander off?” “Ouch, stop!” Tammy exaggerated and said, “I dropped my chocolate and I went to pick it up.” As Anna laid her eyes on the box of candies, she asked, “Where did you get this?” “A handsome man gave it to me.” “Didn’t I tell you not to receive gifts from strangers?” Anna was furious and wanted to s***k Tammy. Seeing that, Tammy immediately put on a lovely smile and said, “Mommy, I was wrong. I’ll give myself a 3-minute time out.” “10 minutes!” “10 minutes is too long!” “15 minutes if you continue to haggle!” Tammy kept quiet immediately and pouted as she left with Anna. Five years ago, Anna spent 200,000 dollars to buy over the doctors and nurses who helped her deliver so that they wouldn’t tell a single soul that she was actually pregnant with twins. After taking her money, the doctors and nurses all shut up about the fact that Anna kept her baby girl. … Southside City had changed so much since Anna left five years ago. There were countless skyscrapers in the city. The next day, Anna woke up early. Having made sure Tammy was taken care of, she then took a taxi to the Carousel Group. It was Carousel Group’s seasonal recruitment drive, and the company was crowded with people. “Hey, wait a minute!” Anna yelled when the door of the elevator almost closed. “I’m so sorry, I came for… Argh!” She rushed in, lost her balance, and lunged forward. Out of instinct, she grabbed onto the person in front. The next second, she grabbed a man’s firm and muscular butt. “Hiss…” Feeling the pain, the man hissed. Hearing that, Anna yanked her head and looked up. Yet, her nose bumped into the man’s crotch. And Anna was instantly dazed by his manly scent and the mint scent from him. “Who are you? Why did you take the VIP elevator?” Someone in the elevator asked in astonishment. “I’m sorry. I’m here for an interview and I’m in a hurry.” Anna tried to stand upright but her curly long hair got caught by his zip. The minute she felt the pain in her scalp, she knelt down. And she happened to bury her head between the man’s thighs. As if she was electrocuted, Anna apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Suddenly, the elevator fell into silence. And everyone else was holding their breath nervously. “Ha…” Several of them finally couldn’t help chuckling a few minutes later. But they shut up when they saw the CEO’s stern expression. Meanwhile, Wayne tensed up and frowned as he had never experienced something so absurd. “I’m sorry, really… Can you give me a hand?” Anna tried desperately to untangle her hair. However, the moment she moved, her hair entangled with Wayne’s zip more tightly. Anna was panicked so much that her palms began sweating. Somehow, she gave Wayne an intense feeling of familiarity. But Wayne couldn’t recall when and where they had met before. As Anna’s hands were wandering over his body, Wayne was gradually turned on. Feeling her hot breath on his private parts, Wayne felt that he was about to have a hard-on. The hell?! I don’t wanna have a hard-on in front of my subordinates! Damn it! With that in mind, Wayne pressed Anna’s head, stopping her from moving. With a deep breath, he lowered his head and began untangling her hair carefully. “Don’t move, just relax.” He said softly. His voice is so familiar! I think I’ve heard it before! Anna was stunned. Suddenly, she recalled the night at that hotel five years ago. Although she could not see that man’s face clearly, she saw his thin lips. He told her to relax but then thrust hard in and out of her. The erotic scenes in which they had s*x flooded her mind, which made Anna blush. Gosh! What is wrong with me?! Why did I suddenly think of the night five years ago? “You can get up now,” Wayne said to Anna coldly after freeing himself from her hair. After standing up, Anna said to Wayne with sincerity, “Thank You!” Yet, Wayne didn’t seem to be interested in continuing talking with her. And then, Anna started looking up and down at Wayne. Wearing a well-tailored business suit, Wayne looked tall and handsome. Yet, he looked so cold and aloof. As he was so tall, Anna had to look up so that she could see his face clearly. “Miss,” Gabe quickly reacted and said, “So, you were in a hurry to flirt with Mr. Wright, right?” Hearing that, Anna was dumbfounded. At the same time, Wayne was looking down at her. Over the years, there were countless women who tried their best to attract and even seduce him. However, after that incident five years ago, Wayne was not interested in any other woman. During the past five years, the only woman that he had slept with was his son’s birth mother. When Wayne realized that Anna was obviously trying to get his attention, he became very frosty. He was upset that she almost fooled him. And at the thought that Anna nearly made him have a hard-on in front of others, his eyes were filled with contempt and disgust. Annoyed, Anna defended herself as she sensed the disgust in Wayne’s sharp eyes, “I told you I was in a hurry. Why are you staring at me like that?” I can’t believe I just thanked you for helping me untangle my hair from the bottom of my heart! And Anna complained to herself. “Gabe, press the button,” Wayne said sternly and ignored Anna. Gabe pressed the button of the next floor and said to Anna when the door opened, “Miss, please exit the elevator. Please stop using this trick to get close to Mr. Wright again. Mr. Wright’s way out of your league.” “Oh please, I really didn’t…” Anna tried to explain but Gabe insisted that she step out. Anna gritted her teeth, glared at Wayne, and mumbled as she left, “Who does he think he is? Why the hell does he think that I would ‘flirt’ with him? What a cheap gigolo!” Gabe was shocked by what she said. He thought, How dare you! How dare you call our boss a gigolo?! Wayne, who was standing beside Gabe, was furious and fumed. Apparently, he heard what Anna said about him. He could not help thinking about what Anna said. Somehow, he felt curious about her. She used her hair to entangle my button and then called me a cheap gigolo? Interesting! I would love to see how she would react when she sees me in the interview! At the thought, Wayne narrowed his eyes. Then he turned to Gabe and ordered, “Call Kenneth and tell him that I’ll attend the interview at 10 o’clock.” “Yes, Mr. Wright.” *** Minutes later, Anna arrived at the waiting room and was nervous and surprised to see so many fellow job seekers. As she was waiting, she heard someone saying, “Hey, do you know that Mr. Wright, the CEO of the Carousel Group will be attending the interview today? Normally, he wouldn’t care to take part in interviews like this. But this time, he will interview us in person. Gosh! I’m about to meet him in person! I’m so excited!” “Yeah! Me, too. I wonder if he’s as handsome as others told me.”
