I held the sheets to my chest and my hand darted around my nightstand in search of my phone that was ringing. I opened my eyes and saw my phone. I took it, and flinched when I saw the brightness on the screen.

I sat up and answered.

"Hello." I cleared my voice because it was hoarse.

"Hello my pumpkin." My heart beat increased when I heard my mom's voice.

"I see you've managed to get yourself a permanent position in that billionaires life. I must congratulate you. Giving him the pregnancy news was a good idea, because now you're engaged to him and that means you'll have access to his banks and all. When can I expect money from you?" She investigated.

This lady needs Jesus. Does she really think that I'll be giving her a penny after all that I'd endured because of her selfish self.

"I'm not giving you anything. I don't believe I owe you anything, so I don't know why I have to give back to you." I replied back with the most serious voice I could muster at three am.

"So you're still the ungrateful brat that you've always been. I thought you'd change, or that maybe the game would change you or something. But I don't you, it's not your fault. It's your fa-"

"It's your fault that I'm like this. Stop trying to drag dad into this conversation.i really don't understand why you refuse to swallow the truth and accept the fact that I behave like this towards you because of your own doings. It's the way you rai- you know what, I don't even wanna have this talk with you right now." I'm doing a really good job at not crying right now.

"I'll hang up now. But this thing between us ain't over yet." She hung up.

I placed my phone back down and let out a loud sigh.

The lady sure does know how to spoil ones mood. Not even an hour ago, I was happy and ecstatic about my engagement, now she just ruined my mood.

I felt Ethan shift and looked over at him.

"Why aren't you sleeping? Is everything okay?" He yawned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Baby was moving so I woke up." I lied, not wanting to ruin his night like mine was. I love him, but I'm not selfish.

He placed his hand on my tummy and rubbed my tummy. "Come cuddle with me, baby's gone back to sleep anyways." He pat the space beside him.

I slid in beside him and turned my back to him. Having a big tummy really does limit cuddling. He placed his hand above my tummy and whispered, "Sleep."

...

"Nooo..!" I whined when I felt the blankets come off me.

"It's too early. I can't be up so early." I whined

"It's not early babe. It's time for you to get ready for work." Ethan said

"I'm really considering that maternity leave now." I pouted and sat up

"Never too late to take one." Ethan tsked

"I hate you." I puffed

"Love you too. I've got a meeting with some CEO that wants to partner up with me. So I'll be visiting his company today to see how things run over there." He explained

"I'll see you later babe." He kissed my lips

"Eww, I just woke up." I glared at him

"You really think I would've put a ring on your finger if I cared about what you think you look like when you get up?" He smirked

"And as much as I'd love to continue what we started last night. I really do want to get to my meeting on time, so please do cover up." He said pointing to my chest.

I looked down and then remembered that I was naked with only a sheet covering me. He says continue what we started as if we didn't finish last night. I must say, private engagement ceremonies are rather enticing.

"You shouldn't care because you're leaving anyways." I rolled my eyes

"You're lucky I don't wanna be late."

"And you're lucky I'm tired and pissed, now leave." My mood swings can be a killer sometimes.

He shook his head while chuckling and left the room.

"Ahhhhhh, I don't wanna go to work!" I cried and mishandled the pillows for a while then got up to go to the bathroom.

After penguin walking all around the room. I finally got ready and left the house.

Ethan got me a driver, because he believes it's unsafe for someone with my stomach size to be driving. I internally role my eyes.

"Morning Henry." I smile at my driver as I slide into the back seat.

I'm out here dressed as comfortably as possible in my dark seaweed green sweater dress that stops at my knee, with very appropriate slippers. Being pregnant makes you worry about being comfy and not formal. I can't be formal and uncomfortable, because when I'm uncomfortable, then so is baby. But when I'm comfy, so is baby and that's just a win win. And here I am sounding like I'm promoting pregnancy.

"Good morning ma'am. To the office?" He asked

"No. Please pass by the cafe near the office. I didn't have breakfast, so I need food in my system before anything else." I smiled

"Sure ma'am" He started the car. I've already given up on getting anyone to call me Elena. It's like Ethan pays them to not call me that, he even wants Sean calling me 'sister' when addressing me.

Henry pulled up at the same cafe that Ethan had brought me to on the day paparazzi took a picture of us and exposed our what was a relationship. The same news that led to my mom contacting me again.

I let out a sigh when that thought crossed my mind.

I slid out and made my way to the end of the three line queue that was waiting to order.

It was finally my turn and the same guy from my last time here was behind the counter, Eric his name was.

"Good morning, how may I help you this lovely day?" He greeted and his eyes widened when they fell on my tummy. "It's you again miss...?" He rose an eyebrow.

"Elena"

"Yes, miss Elena. The last time you were here I couldn't talk to you properly because of your...?" This boy wants to know the story of my life.

"Because my fiance can get really possessive of what is his." I smiled

"Yes, fiance." He glanced at my ring finger, to see my beautiful sapphire ring on my ring finger.

"O..-"

I turned back when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Could you please order ma'am. I'm like late for something and you're holding up the line." The teenager said.

I smiled and nodded at her. Why can't this Eric try pursuing this girl into dating him, because clearly I'm not gonna.

"Can I please get a large hot chocolate with marshmallows inside, three scones and two ham sandwiches." I smiled at Eric, after going through their display boards.

After getting my bag full of breakfast. I left and got into the car.

"Thanks Henry." I thanked Henry when he dropped me off at work.

I got into the building and for like the first time ever there were a few people here who looked like they were actually getting some work done. I went straight to the elevators and pressed the last floor's button.

I ignored Stella and went straight to my office so I could have my breakfast before it gets cold.

Stella barged into my office just as I was about to have my hot chocolate. Which resulted in me spilling some on me due to fright.

"What the hell?!" I glared at her. I searched my table for tissue or anything I could find to wipe myself, but there was nothing.

I rushed out to the washroom. Hoping to get there before my dress forever has a chocolate stain.

I got to washroom, cleaned myself and returned back to my office.

"What are you still doing here?" I asked Stella.

"Nothing. Just came to let you know that we're gonna be having a really important meeting today, and that you should be less... whatever it is that you usually are." She said.

This girl is begging me for a beating, and I could beat her and get away with it because I'm pregnant, but she's lucky I know and found Jesus.

"Are you done?" I asked

"Uhm.. Yeah, that's all for now I think." She looked around.

"Then what are you still doing here? Leave." I sternly said.

She rolled her eyes and left.

I sat down and had my breakfast. I let out a yawn as I rubbed my tummy. Eating is so tiring and I feel so sleepy right now.

The phone rang and I quickly answered it. "Good morning. This is Elena from Parker's&Co speaking, how may I help you today." I said with a short yawn at the end.

"Elena, the potential business partner is here for the meeting and I've just let him." Sandra from the lobby said.

"Thanks Sandra." I hung up.

I stood up, but sat back down when I felt dizzy. I stood again when it stopped and made my way to the door.

Just as I reached for the door handle, everything was out focus and I felt everything around start moving. I kept a tight hold on the handle, not wanting to fall and hurt myself or the baby.

Everything was spinning and it became a struggle for me to keep my eyes open. I managed to open the door, but as soon as I did, I also managed to blackout.
