Chapter 1 A Magical Girl

A Magical Girl

Sophia was three months pregnant when she realized Janus had vanished from her life.

There was no rage or disappointment, only fear. Sophia didn't want to embarrass her extended family, so she didn't go back to her parents' house.

It was her fault that she became pregnant. Sophia, on the other hand, does not blame herself. She has no regrets because everything she did was motivated by her deep love for Janus.

When Sophia moved to the capital, love caused her to forget her mother's messages.

Sophia is lovely and cheerful, and she aspires to be successful in the capital. She had recently graduated from college with a communications major and had taken a job as a a junior public relations officer. Sophia enjoys her job, and the environment in which she works is also enjoyable. Sophia met Janus, the marketing director who was young and attractive, after only a few days of work. They were designing promotional programs for several provinces at the time. They were involved in the project.

"Hey, are you a new employee?" Janus chastised Sophia.

"Yes, sir, is there anything I can do for you?" Sophia approached.

Sophia recognized Janus, who was rebuking her, because she already knew the names and faces of the board members.

Janus took a stick pen from his pocket and handed it to Sophia.

"Could you please create a presentation material with eight slides?" The data is taken from the promo.march folder."

Sophia was surprised to accept the task because it should have gone through her direct superior, a senior public relations officer, but it was the director who ordered her directly.

Sophia took the stick without a second thought.

"I'll do it right away, please excuse me, sir," she said.

Sophia reads the file's contents and draws conclusions before selecting eight slides and writing a short narrative text for the presentation.

Sophia looked for Andrew Jones to hand over the work and explain the unexpected assignment after she finished.

When Andrew learned of Janus' assignment to Sophia, he frowned.

"Then try going straight to the boardroom. Please give it to Mr. Janus' secretary "Andrew said.

"All right, Mr. Andrew," she said as she walked to the seventh floor, where the directors' office was located.

She proceeded to the secretary section and handed Janus's stick containing the new files for the promotion presentation to the board of directors' secretary.

She thought she was done with that, but the secretary called an hour later and asked Sophia to come to her office.

Because the director had summoned her, Sophia was escorted to Janus' room by Annie, the secretary.

Janus sat in the room, facing the desk. When he saw Sophia, he waved to her.

"Try to explain your concept, girl," he said.

Sophia's mouth flung open in surprise. Is there an error? Or she made the presentation too simple, so Janus's director was dissatisfied with the outcome.

Sophia explained the concept she chose from the file, followed by her reasoning. Janus cracked a grin. "You, too, newcomer, are intelligent."

Sophia blushed in response to the unexpected compliment. Janus never inquired about her surname.

Sophia was promoted to Janus' personal assistant the following month.

"Mr. Janus, since I became your assistant today, what should I do and where is my desk?" Janus had just entered his study, and it was still early in the morning.

"Sophia, you will be in the same room as me. Over there in the corner, there will be a table "Janus pointed to the northeast corner.

Of course, Sophia was overjoyed to be given this new assignment; aside from the raise in pay, her position allowed her to travel and meet with many directors from other companies.

Sophia, who is still naive, falls in love with Janus, and the director spoils her and appears to love her in return.

"If there isn't anyone else, you don't have to call me'sir.'" I'm not that old, am I? I'm only four years your senior." Janus's first sign of intimacy was shown to Sophia.

They began dating a few days later, and Janus began kissing the girl. Janus's good looks, gentleness, and the way he treated Sophia made her feel special. Sophia informed her mother of everything that had occurred over the phone.

"Girl, be careful; is a director truly in love with you?" Maybe he's just taking advantage of you. "Take care of yourself and maintain your chastity," her mother advised.

Sophia discovered in college that virginity was no longer important to her peers. They freely socialize and enjoy it. Sophia, who was well-educated, couldn't accept such an unstructured way of socializing.

"Mom, I can take care of myself," she said emphatically, convincing her mother of her only daughter's abilities. Sophia is the youngest of six siblings, with five older brothers.

Sophia, on the other hand, was lulled by Janus' sweet words, and Sophia had completely surrendered herself to the man not even six months after becoming Janus' personal assistant.

"Don't worry, I'll look after you." Janus stated when Sophia panickedly admitted two months later that she was no longer menstruating.

Sophia's thoughts about her relationship with Janus were shattered when the tiny baby cried out loudly.

A tiny and lovely child, the result of her love for Janus.

While in the womb in the seventh month of pregnancy, someone once predicted that the baby to be born would be a girl.

"She is a child prodigy, be careful and take good care of her because she is the source of your happiness and glory," said the person.

The baby was born a girl.

"You will be called Lidwina Chandra West, my beautiful girl, mommy's baby, my sunshine ..." Sophia's tears rolled down her baby's cheeks.

Lidwina stopped crying and her tiny eyes stared at Sophia without blinking.

The hearts of the mother and daughter are linked by love. They looked at each other and radiated love.

The baby is a prodigy? May be. Her delivery was smooth and lucky because she was born on a special day, along with the birthday of a wealthy artist. The Artist visits the hospital where Sophia gave birth and says she will pay for all the delivery costs of the baby born on that day, even giving her 1000$ in joy money.

Sophia realized that life for the two of them would not be easy. In a big city raising a child as an inexperienced single parent is certainly not easy.

But Lidwina had brought good luck on her birthday.

The name Lidwina was also given by the artist, according to her first name.

She relocated to the Southeastern city when she was four months pregnant, convinced that Janus had abandoned her. Janus' promise to look after Sophia was kept, despite the fact that it was beyond Sophia's hopes and dreams.

Janus gave her a large sum of money and asked Sophia to have the pregnancy terminated.

"No, Janus, this is the fruit of our love, a blessing to us."

"Abort, and we'll keep the relationship going as long as you don't get pregnant again," Janus said, hurling the debit card at her.

"What if I say no?" Sophia gave him a worried look.

"Sorry, our relationship has ended here, and you are no longer employed by this company." "I'm going to fire you." Janus' voice was icy.

Sophia shook.

She loved Janus with all her heart, she gave up everything for love, and she never imagined that Janus only saw her as a comforter.

Sophia sat on the sofa, her mouth gagging and her head buzzing.

"Don't make it difficult for yourself; take the card and I'll send you the address of the clinic that can help you," Janus said, hugging her and kissing Sophia's head.

Sophia was filled with emptiness and cold.

Sophia nodded, took a debit card, and placed it in her bag after a quick thought.

She stood in front of Janus, smiling at the man's face.

"So, there you have it, this is my girl. You recuperate at home for a week before returning to work "Janus patted her shoulder.

Sophia simply looked him in the eyes, took Janus' hand in hers, and kissed it.

"I'm leaving..." she said as she walked away.

Sophia walked briskly out of the room, tears in her eyes, after closing the door behind her. She never returned and never saw Janus again.
