Chapter 1 - Fateful Encounter
Nina Sze
Stupid Obi, leaving me all by myself here.
Nina Sze took a glance at her glass filled with whiskey, making the ice click together.
Despite being 16, she was the CEO of a top business empire with almost unlimited funds. She was on top of the tower, looking down on anyone who dared try to compete with her.
However, no one knew of her identity. Only her butler, Alfred, knew about her and his lips were sealed no matter what happened.
Taking another sip, a tap on her shoulder made her turn around.
Drinker 1
Hey there. Do you fancy having a drink with us?
Nina Sze looked at them, unimpressed.
She said it so coldly that the two immediately stepped away and left. Nina picked up her glass and drank away, finished every single drop of the strong liquid.
Getting up, she started to wash to the washroom when something happened. It started to get warm, terribly warm. The world around her started to distort, leaving her feeling weak at the knees.
Nina Sze
No... I must have been drugged by those two guys... I need to get out of here...
However, that was a hard feat to accomplish. She couldn't even read her phone screen to find Obi's name.
At that moment, her head butted into a solid chest. Looking up, she tried her best to see the man's face. Then, she did.
Everything about him was handsome. His rosy lips, his bobbing Adam's apple, and also his innocent eyes.
Aubery Kung
Are you alright, Miss? Can I help you?
Nina Sze
Y-Yes... there is something that you could do for me...
Pulling him into an empty room, Nina pushed him against the wall and started to kiss him. Their tongues moved together while their breaths mixed. Suddenly, the man's instincts kicked in as he pushed Nina down onto the bed.
Aubery Kung
I... hope you won't regret this tomorrow.
Before not too long, both of their clothes were off and they weren't just kissing.
The man's body made Nina feel pleasure that she had never felt before and to the man, this encounter made him desire the woman he was getting busy with even more.
Aubery Kung
After this is all over, I'm going to make you my woman. Don't forget that...
His hand moved down her curvy body and soon, before he knew it, he was getting used to inflicting pleasure on Nina.
Trailing his tongue down her navel and sinking his teeth into her firm flesh, he made her cry out in a mix of pain of pleasure.
They gave each other to their partner, sharing this experience together.
Nina woke up, sore all over. Looking around, she saw her clothes scattered across the room. Her dress was torn to shreds of the floor and her body was covered in bite marks.
Turning around, she saw the handsome man that she had slept with. He was as handsome as she remembered him to be. She assumed that he must have been an escort.
Getting up, she suddenly remembered her dress was in shreds. Eyeing the man's suit, she smirked and stole it.
Before she left, she took all of the cash from her wallet and placed it on the table, then wrote a note addressed to him.
Nina Sze
Here's your payment. Your skills need a little work but soon, you'll be on the top of the escort industry with a face like that!
N.
P.S. Here's a little extra for your clothes!
At that moment, she left the room and left the building. In an hour, the man woke up and reached to hold the girl next to him when he felt nothing. He jumped out of his bed and ran to the bathroom to check if she was there but to no avail.
Aubery Kung
Darn woman... where did you go?
Then, he spotted the money on the table along with the note. Reading over it, he slammed his fist against the table.
Aubery Kung
I, Aubery Kung, will find you. And when I do, I'll not let you leave my side.
Dora Sze
My, where have you been all night? And why are you wearing men's clothes?
Dora Sze, Nina's adopted sister, ran down the stairs. Despite always failing to embarrass Nina, that doesn't stop her from trying over and over again.
Nina Sze
I slept over at Obi's house. My clothes got stained so he lent me these.
Obi is my best friend since kindergarten. Dora used to have a crush on him but soon realised that his only love was video games, she soon let him go.
Dora Sze
Oh! So you slept over with a man?
Nina Sze
Please... I don't have time for your games!
Dora Sze
Oh really? Well, you see, you no longer have any authority here.
Nina didn't realise what she meant until her adoptive parents walked down the stairs with a handful of documents in their hands.
She soon realised what they were. Her mother's face explained it all.
Nina Sze
You want to kick me out and stop being my guardian, right? Is it because I'm making a shadow out of your real daughter?
Nina's mother went to speak up but didn't. Nina was never going to bullied by the likes of them again. Grabbing the documents, she read though them and signed her name. Then, throwing them into the air, she walked out of the house without another word.
Outside, she took out her phone and phoned her best friend.
Nina Sze
Is that offer to study abroad with you still on the table?
Jumping into the cab outside of her house, she drove off without a second thought to the airport.
After that night, she thought that she never needed to think about that man again. However, three months after, she got a visit from one of her contacts who happens to be her private doctor.
Ice Storm
Nina... I've got some good news and some bad news.
Nina Sze
The great Doctor Storm has bad news? I thought that you cure anything that befalled me!
Obi Torres
Get to the point, Ice! What's wrong with her?
Ice Storm
U-Um... the good news is that you aren't sick... it's just that...
Ice Storm
She's three months pregnant!
At that moment, Nina froze and didn't move again. Obi turned towards Nina and held her hand. The sudden warmth made her turn her head to face Obi's.
Obi Torres
This is... unexpected news. It's okay, we'll get through this together, Nina!
He was saving her face. He knew who the child belonged to and so did Nina but it wasn't right to get rid of it.
Nina Sze
Obi, I need to move into the house on the top of the hill in the countryside. Ice, I want you to move in there too. I'll give birth to this child, it's the right thing to do.
Holding her stomach, knowing that there was a part of her inside of her, she smiled.
Nina Sze
We'll get through this... together...
After Ice left, Obi became furious.
Obi Torres
I should have been there... I shouldn't have left you... if I hadn't, then maybe...
"The child in your stomach could have been mine." was what he wanted to say but couldn't bring himself too. He has loved Nina since she was a little child. Ever since she first smiled to him in kindergarten. He wanted to protect her and her happiness.
Nina touched the boy's cheek tenderly. He flinched and blushed as he looked at the one woman he loved.
Nina Sze
You are the one that I trust the most... I want to have you by my side during this time.
He then hugged her affectionately and looked at her stomach. No matter who the baby's father was, it was still a part of Nina.
Obi Torres
I would never leave you... I told you, you could never get rid of me.
Nina patted him on the head, swallowing her fear. She had never raised a child before and since she was always so busy with work, how was she supposed to look after it. She was scared out of her wits but knowing that Obi was going to be by her side, she felt reassured.
Looking out of her balcony, a very pregnant Nina stared out into the distance. The smell of salt water from the sea made her feel at ease.
Nina Sze
Baby, you have a lot of people who are worried about you and you are tiring Mummy out!
But Nina smiled at her stomach and caressed it.
A wave of surprise overcame her as she turned around. Seeing Obi standing at her door, wearing his hoodie and a smile, she smiled to him.
Nina Sze
Welcome home, Obi! I'm sorry for making you go down to the city to buy me new clothes. Baby here just won't stop growing!
Obi then waddled over towards Nina and placed his ear onto her belly.
Obi Torres
You'd better not be hurting my Nina, you brat! Once you come out, I'm going to train you on how to protect your Mummy, you understand?
Nina Sze
What if it is a girl?
He looked up at me with a straight face.
Obi Torres
She'll be my little angel. Besides, girls can fight! You sure can!
Nina Sze
Oh, really? If you think that I'm going to let my daughter learn how to fight, you are mistaken!
Taking my hands, Nina then noticed how sad his face was.
Ice Storm
Checkup time! Oh, am I interrupting something?
Obi scowled at him while Nina smiled.
Nina Sze
No, we were just talking. Is it that time of the month already?
Ice Storm
Are you sure that you don't want to know the gender of the baby?
Nina Sze
Nope. To me, it doesn't matter. As long as he or she is healthy, that is all that counts.
Obi frowned. He knew why Nina felt so adamant on raising this child. She was abandoned at birth by a mother who simply didn't want her. That was why she is taking this all in stride.
Ice Storm
Well, why don't Obi and I go out to celebrate? You are going to be a father very soon!
Obi then hugged me, which is how he expresses his affection.
Obi Torres
I'm staying with Nina! I won't leave her alone in the house ever again!
He knows how vulnerable Nina was in the state she was in. She needed to be protected, which is what he always wanted to do.
His love for her went unnoticed by Nina but it was there, surrounding her. He would do anything to protect her or the baby inside of her.
