Secret Baby

A woman sat limply on the floor with tears slowly starting to fall down her smooth cheeks. In the woman's hand was a testpack with two blue lines.

The sound began to fill the bathroom. Over time, the sound became louder. "What should I do? Everyone will be disappointed in me," the woman muttered softly.

Cylindrica Dayana Smith is the youngest child of the Smith family, which is famous for its mining company branches everywhere outside New York City, where the main branch is located.

Apart from Cylin, there are two other successors to the Smith company who are Cylin's older brothers. The two older brothers are both men and have entered the business world like their father.

"Sob, I have to find that man and hold him accountable; I don't want to throw him out," muttered Cylin, still sobbing as she stroked his flat stomach.

The woman apparently had just done a pregnancy test herself using a special object used to check pregnancy that she bought at a pharmacy near her house. Cylin was shocked when she found out that she was pregnant right after she graduated from high school.

Case case case case

Cylin roughly wiped the tears that were rolling down her face and then washed her face when she heard a knock on the door coming from her bedroom door.

The woman rushed to the bedroom door after hiding the test pack under her pillow. Cylin hopes no one will see the object there.

Cylin tried his best to normalize his expression before opening the door to his room.

"What is it?" Cylin asked when he saw his second brother at the door.

"You just woke up? Hey wait, why does your face look like you've been crying?" Instead of making Cylin calm, it actually made him alert in his heart and brain, thinking hard about the right answer to the question.

"E-ee, that's not true; it was just a flicker when I woke up," Cylin replied, lying.

Cylin's second sister, Cleo, nodded in disbelief. "Okay, let's go down; the others are waiting for you."

"Yes, sis, you just go down first; I'll catch up later," replied Cylin. The goal later is to clean his face once again so that she doesn't look like someone who has been crying.

"Don't be long." Before leaving Cylin, Cleo gently patted her sister's head.

Cylin just nodded before breathing a sigh of relief after Cleo disappeared behind the stairs leading to the first floor. "I have to meet that man as soon as possible," she muttered before going back into the room.

In Cylin's room, she looked at a business card that she found in the wallet of the man who had impregnated her. The wallet was on the nightstand when Cylin woke up this morning in one of the rooms at the nightclub.

"He's a billionaire?" muttered Cylin, asking someone with his mind increasingly confused, knowing this fact.

Not wanting to think too much now while his family was waiting in the dining room for breakfast, Cylin rushed to the bathroom again while continuing to think hard.

'Now I'm not sure he wants to be responsible,' Cylin thought, taking a deep breath, trying to hold back his tears so they wouldn't come out again.

"Stop here, sir!"

The taxi Cylin was riding in stopped right in front of a tall building with dozens of floors where hundreds of people worked. To be more precise, now Cylin is standing in the company of the man who is the father of the child she is carrying. Cylin doesn't recognize the man at all, even though his business card says that the man is a billionaire in his hometown.

Why did Cylin take a taxi? Yes, because she can't drive his own car yet. If he asks his family driver, Cylin is afraid that the driver will ask a lot of questions and be suspicious of him. Cylin is not ready to tell her family about her pregnancy at this time.

Cylin sighed softly as she looked around the outside of the building, which was busy with people passing by. The woman looked down at her flat stomach with a sad gaze; her hand did not fail to gently stroke her stomach. "Hopefully your Daddy will, baby," she muttered before stepping into the skyscraper.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Maxime there?" With some hesitation, Cylin asked one of the receptionists there.

"You mean Mr. Daxon?" The receptionist asked again, making Cylin frown before nodding after looking back at the business card he had been holding.

'Maxime Leonard D, the D is Daxon, isn't it?' Cylin thought to himself.

"Sorry about earlier; who were you with?"

Cylin was confused by the question. "Just say I'm his high school friend," she answered carelessly. The most important thing was that he could meet the billionaire man.

"Just a moment, Miss. Please wait in the chair over there first," said the receptionist again while directing her to a waiting chair that was not far from the receptionist's place. Cylin nodded without saying much.

About five minutes later, the receptionist came over to Cylin, who was daydreaming. "Sorry, Miss, you are waiting for Mr. Daxon in his room; let me take you."

Cylin immediately stood up from his seat and nodded briefly. "Okay."

Cylin and the receptionist rode the elevator until it stopped on the top floor of the office building, namely 60. Cylin put his hands together nervously as they stopped right in front of a room that said superior.

"I've arrived, Miss; I'll excuse myself."

"Thank you," replied Cylin before the receptionist left, leaving him alone in front of the room of the billionaire who was the father of the baby he was carrying.

With hesitation, Cylin pulled the door knob and opened it slowly.

Cekhlek!

"Which high school friend are you?"

Just hearing his voice immediately made Cylin's heart beat fast due to fear. His gaze was fixed on the wide back in front of his eyes; the man's back was to him while sitting in an oversized chair typical of a boss.

"Sorry, I lied; I just wanted to meet you and talk about last night," Cylin replied before the man thought to be Max suddenly turned around after hearing Cylin's words.

"You!"

'That's right, he's the same man as last night' Cylin thought for some reason, breathing a sigh of relief after seeing Max's face, feeling that she wasn't mistaken.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I put the check on the nightstand?" Max initially looked surprised to see Cylin's face, which he had seen last night and remembered, but the man's expression suddenly changed to look more relaxed.

It hurts. I don't know why Cylin's chest suddenly felt tight when he heard these casual words, which made his self-esteem drop. He's not that cheap; why did the man in front of him say those words so casually and carefree?

"I'm not that cheap to just be rewarded with a check! To hell with the amount! The point is, now I want to ask you for accountability!"

Max laughed softly. "What accountability, bitch?"

Cylin's hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were red after hearing that rude term. "I'm pregnant! I hope you're not a cowardly man who runs away from responsibility."
