Stephanie's voice trembled as she took a hesitant step backward, "But you have a fiancée," she stammered, shaken by the unexpected turn of events. "I couldn't resist," Paul Costa replied in a husky tone, his own steps closing the distance between them. "But..." Stephanie tried to protest, but he silenced her with a gentle yet firm answer, "Shhh. No buts. I want you, and I will have you," he whispered, sending thrilling shivers down her spine. A single night of passion with her boss, Paul Costa, takes an unforeseen twist when Stephanie discovers she's carrying his child. Paul, the CEO of a corporate giant, is on the brink of marrying an heiress from another influential conglomerate, destined to become "Mrs. Costa." However, fate has a different plan, as he finds himself falling deeply in love with Stephanie, a love he cannot openly embrace due to societal expectations and traditions. Their budding romance faces the harsh realities of tradition and social norms, and they must face a world filled with lies, deceit, and betrayals. A dangerous secret lurks, threatening to destroy everything they hold.

Chapter 1 Pregnancy

"I'm pregnant"

She said in the calmest voice she could muster with her blue eyes looking everywhere else but his.

Paul Costa's grey eyes shot up to the woman before him, easing his back onto the chair in his huge office.

The Woman has been working for him for the past six years since he became the executive director of Costa Incorporation. There was something different about her this afternoon, perhaps it was the way she styled her hair or the Color of her eyes, He had never seen her without her glasses. That was probably why she seemed so different. Heck! It could even be the perfume she was wearing, it was jasmine.

Paul couldn't remember if her hair had always been this black or her eyes this blue. He wasn't sure if any of those things were attributed to the difference he saw in her, But then, he had never paid any attention to her, all he knows was that she could do her job right, she was the 'perfect assistant' and that was why she still worked for him after 6 years.

Stephanie Hathaway had been working for Paul Costa since she left college. She was his assistant and in all her years of working for him, she had never seen him smile. He was stoic and huge and intimidating with his 6'5 height. She remembered that night when she saw another side of her boss.

He wasn't that intimidating scary handsome devil anymore, in his place was this charming, loving demigod who made love to her as if nothing else mattered.

"Surely you can work for a few more weeks until we find your replacement."

It was a statement rather than a question. There was no bump which means she wasn't far gone and would be able to work. So it was the pregnancy that made her different, Paul thought.

Stephanie swallowed hard, "I'm pregnant with your baby sir."

Paul's head shot up instantly, glaring at her. How dare she joke with him? Had she no regard for him anymore? for someone who seemed to be afraid of him all the time, this joke was too much

"Have you gone nuts?" He growled and his eyes darkened. "I swear sir this is no joke. I am telling the truth" Stephanie stuttered, refusing to look at him. Of course, it would be difficult to recognize her that night.

She looked different that night, she had replaced her usual nerdy glasses for contact lenses, dyed and styled her hair, and put on some makeup, it was a transformation! the personal assistant was gone, in her place was a goddess! She loved how she looked.

Moreover, she was speaking with an accent which made it much more difficult to recognize her. He wouldn't have spoken to her,much more making love to her if he knew it was his assistant. She only did that with him because she had fantasized about him for so long that when he made a move on her she didn't do anything to stop him.

"We met at the hexagon on the 13th of July at approximately 11 pm, we then left for the troupe hotel where we did it" She explained quickly.

Paul glared at her with anger,his eyebrows furrowed as his eyes darkened. This joke was becoming too much,he thought.

He had been at Hexagon club that day where he met a woman with too much makeup and red hair. He remembered her clearly because of her accent and her hair, it was fiery red.

They never exchanged names or personal information but he knew he could recognize that woman anywhere and she was not his assistant. That woman was a tigress in bed.

"We bumped into each other at the entrance of the club, I finished dancing and went to the bathroom when I bumped into you again on my way out,you laughed and said you wanted to buy me a drink. We went back to the bar, I had tequila and you had vodka. I was wearing a short red sleeveless dress and I dyed my hair red......i spoke with an accent," she narrated,still avoiding his eyes.

Paul frowned and his forehead wrinkled as realization dawned on him. "It was you?!" He yelled. "How!!!??"

Stephanie nodded silently. He looked closely at her, her eyes! The same blue eyes he had been enchanted by that night. The eyes he had looked at as he made sweet love to her.

"How dare you!!" He growled as anger pulsed through his veins. Stephanie shuddered, about to cry. "How do I even know that you aren't telling a lie right now?" He exclaimed and even as he questioned her , he knew without a doubt that she was the woman he met that night.

Paul chuckled throatily, "How can I be so sure that I am responsible for that pregnancy which you so claim to have?".

He imagined his face plastered on every tabloid and newspaper with the caption "Paul Costa, Multimillionaire and executive director of Costa incorporations impregnates personal Assistant" and other ridiculous headlines that would be printed.

Stephanie whimpered. She looked like she was about to cry. "You are the only one I have slept with in years And we didn't use protection!!" She exclaimed.

Paul studied her face. She was telling the truth, He knew that. Stephanie had never told a lie, so what would she gain by doing that now and why on earth did he have to sleep with her of all persons? And why did she have to be pregnant?!!. He was rich and successful and any greedy woman would jump at an opportunity to entrap him.

For all he knew she might have slept with other men, gotten pregnant for one of them but because he was the most eligible bachelor she would pin the pregnancy on him to get money out of him.

But then, he had known Stephanie for 6 years, she wasn't greedy. Heck! He wasn't sure he knew her anymore because it seemed like she had two personalities.

This plain looking woman in front of him with her shabby and awful looking dress was different from the beautiful damsel he met that night.

Although,today she looked a little different, a bit prettier perhaps,it was probably because she wasn't putting on glasses. He was wise, he would not let this mistake ruin him, he could not allow it! Money was all that was needed and he had a whole lot of it. He was, after all, Paul Costa!

Stephanie still had her head bent, unable to look at Paul in the eye. She was still standing and it didn't bother her as she was used to standing whenever she brought files for him. She wondered what he was thinking, perhaps he was thinking about that night.

The night she decided she needed a break. After working with Paul on an important project for almost a month, she had overworked herself and had no time to rest properly that when Paul gave her the day off, she decided she was going to have fun.

She went to an art gallery and a museum in the morning, and in the afternoon she went to a bookstore where she had been planning to go for a while.

She was about to watch a movie that night when her best friend called her boring and made her dress up to go to the club. "You deserve to have fun" Her friend had said and a fun night it was going to be,she thought.

####FLASHBACK###

"I deserve a fun night" She smiled and wrinkled her nose as the smell of sweat and liquor filled her nostrils. The crowd was dancing to the upbeat music that threatened to rupture her eardrums.

She was thinking about the headache she was going to get the following morning that she didn't focus and bumped into a hard wall. "Shit", she muttered and was about to apologize when she paused.

The man in front of her towered like a giant, His grey eyes was firm as they pierced through her soul, his hair was jet black and slicked back with a gel, and his jawline was sharp!!, He was like a Greek god. "I'm sorry," she said in a hurry and ran inside the club. "I want to get out of here" she yelled over the loud music for her friend Ciara to hear.

She wanted to leave so badly after seeing that very hot man who was HER BOSS!!! and who didn't seem to recognize her. "Not happening!!" Ciara yelled back and dragged her inside the crowd. She had made a mistake, she thought as someone smacked her ass making her whimper in disgust. She was supposed to enjoy this, but all she felt was disgust and irritation as she got lewd comments from some men.

It probably was because of the tight dress she wore. She hurried to the bathroom where she got even worse lewd remarks from the men she passed, one even tried to squeeze her butt and she gasped in disbelief and hurried inside. In the bathroom, she stared at herself in the mirror, of course she looked stunning but the dress was way too short!!!,it only covered her bum and that was it! And the heels? it was almost six inches, she looked like a prostitute! How the hell was she manipulated into wearing something so provocative!! Gosh! And Ciara was already lost to the crowd!

As she stepped outside the bathroom, she bumped into a large figure, and her breath was almost knocked out of her. It was her boss, again!!! Before she could quickly utter an apology, she heard him saying with his thick deep voice "May I get you a drink?" she was still trying to take it in...Her boss!, her extremely hot and sexy boss, The very pompous multi-billionaire!!, The fearsome Paul Costa!! Just asked if he could buy her a drink!!!. "Please.." He said again and she realized she had kept him waiting to get a reply.

She tried hard to stop herself from screaming and instead in a calm voice said "Sure..of course" but it came out like a whimper instead.

"Are you okay?" He asked, genuinely concerned and she nodded vigorously before he would change his mind about the drink.

"Yeah.. it's just parties aren't my thing."

"Me either," he said and continued "all the more reason for us to grab a drink". He led the way and like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for her.

"Thank you," she said as she sat down. They had vodka and chatted about everything, but themselves. They didn't reveal their names or any personal information. He laughed at her reaction every time she took a shot of her drink.

Suddenly she felt his warm breath against her ear, blowing her soft skin and causing chills to run down her spine.

"Should we get out of here?", He asked,his voice raspy. Stephanie blinked! Her boss wants her to leave the club with him!!, she of course knew what it meant, it was something she had always fantasized about,being in bed with her boss. She had always wondered how it would be like.

Now her dreams were about to come to pass!!,she need not wonder much again. The day has so far been good, the night especially, she had seen another side of her boss she had never seen before, and now,it was about to be the best night ever. She smiled and even though a part of her strongly adviced against the idea, she nodded with a smile.

"Sure" She was going to make tonight a memorable one, even better than her fantasies. It has been years since she last had sex,so why not make a good comeback sex!!.

All through the 10-minutes drive to the hotel, all Stephanie could think of was the fact that she was going to finally have sex with her boss. It took all the strength in her not to start screaming out loud. The journey to the hotel room was a blur as she was still taking in the fact that she was going to be screwing her boss in a few minutes.

Within a couple of minutes, their clothes were discarded, She remembered her body being placed on a large soft bed and hot gentle kisses trailing down from her forehead down her body.

She closed her eyes to revell in the feeling. He asked if she was ready as he positioned himself at her entrance. He kissed her neck and used his tongue to proceed to lick her earlobe. She grabbed him tightly and urged him on.

The kisses intensified as their bodies merged.

"Is twenty million dollars enough?" Paul shot out firmly, cutting short her trip down memory lane.

Chapter 2 Not the father

"Excuse me, sir?!"

Stephanie's eyes shot up as she stared at him,gasping as she realized what he meant.

He was offering her such a huge amount of money to get rid of the baby, her baby!!

She was not prepared for this at all, She shouldn't even be here but here She was, being told to kill her baby for a fee, a huge one.

She thought the best thing to do after finding out about her pregnancy was to let the father of the baby know, She didn't think about his reaction and the fact that He wouldn't be too pleased to father a child with her or could even deny the pregnancy.

A highly respected multibillionaire like him could suffer from such scandal and this would have a huge effect on the company, stock prices will go down.

Of course, the best way to prevent that was to not father a child with her, therefore, the baby must be terminated.

But she loved children, she had always wanted children of her own with a man she loves and She is about to have a child now, with a man she is head over heels in love with but who doesn't feel the same way toward her.

She remembered her joy when she found out she was pregnant, three days ago.

Stephanie had just come back from the office and was trying to fix herself a light dinner when her cell phone rang, it was an unknown number.

She picked up, still trying to guess who the unknown caller was.

"Ms. Hathaway, it's Doctor Connor from SVP hospital."

The voice from the other end came. She immediately dropped the cup she was holding,nervous suddenly to hear what the doctor had to say.

She had been feeling a bit unwell for the past few days and she knew it was not due to stress as her boss had been away for a while without her and she didn't do anything stressful so she had gone to the hospital.

She had lost her father to cancer before she was born and because of that, became so vigilant of her health that even the tiniest headache will send her to the hospital to confirm that all was well.

She had done a checkup earlier in the day and asked that the result be sent to her mail and she be called to be notified.

"Hi Doctor, I assume it's about my result," She said.

"Yes Ms. and according to the test, everything is fine and it appears you are pregnant, Congratulations," He said, sounding pleased.

"Doctor are you sure about that? because I cannot be pregnant, I'm sure there's been some sort of mistake" Stephanie said, suddenly feeling scared. It wasn't cancer but then, but something much worse!

Pregnancy!

The only man she had slept with after so many years was her boss! She cannot be pregnant!

"I am certain Miss, you can as well do a home pregnancy test to reconfirm, but based on the test, you are pregnant" He said frankly.

The call disconnected and Stephanie was beside herself with worry. Yes, she had missed her periods, but then it was irregular so it wasn't strange,but pregnancy?,it was impossible!,it had to be,it just cannot be possible!. The father of the fetus, the human being growing in her belly was Paul Costa, her boss!!

She touched her belly as a drop of tears fell from her eyes.

Dinner was forgotten as she bawled her eyes out. Her fantasies about being pregnant were not like this, it was of her being pregnant and married. She had always detested being pregnant out of wedlock, but look at her condition!

She was going to be her boss's baby Mama!. She was pregnant for a Man who could never marry her. She started crying all over again.

"Too small?"

Paul asked, breaking her thoughts and bringing her back to the present.

She felt like presenting him with an amount that would make his company go bankrupt, billions of dollars, but then she refused to play his game.

She refused to gamble with her child. She was going to keep the child, no matter what. She swallowed and straightened her posture, not wanting to show how nervous she was. She cleared her throat and gazed at him straight.

"I do not want your money Paul, you can keep it and do whatever you wish with it. However, I am keeping this baby and I do not intend to quit my job too," she said heaving heavily and turning to leave.

She heard him chuckle from behind her, "That is acting foolish Stephanie, you will definitely regret it" He exclaimed, his tone challenging.

"No,the only thing regrettable is me coming here to tell you about my baby, you should forget I said anything to you, sir," She said, turning to leave.

She stopped in front of the door and sharply turned to look at him squarely, "And I am taking the rest of the day off," she didn't wait for him to say anything before she turned and left.

Paul's grey eyes narrowed and the muscles in his jaw ticked. How dare she talk to him like that!

"Shit!" He muttered.

Stephanie was sure he was angry, she had never dared to challenge him. She was always on her toes around him as he was very intimidating and even though he was an asshole, he was still her boss and she needed to give him that respect especially as she depended on him for her and her baby's survival.

She lingered in front of the door and placed her hand on her belly which was still flat. She would have the child, she was going to be its father and mother, and she would love him or her. She hoped it would be a girl, she loved girls and had always wanted one. She would name her after her favorite flower,Daisy.

She passed Natalie, the secretary who noticed the anger etched on her face. She walked straight to her desk, picked up her bag and in no time she was out of the building.

She needed time to think,to think about the next step forward and how she was going to cope with the baby and her job. She hoped that she had not made a mistake by not taking the money, that was a huge sum of money, It was times twenty of her entire worth and she knew what it would do for her, she could move to a better apartment, start her own business and change that her run-down car.

But anyway, she thought, no amount of money was enough to make her give up her child. Paul watched her from the window as she left. He opened the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of whiskey.

He took the glass up to his mouth, intending to throw it down in one gulp. For a second he wavered, doubting if it was better to drink while at work. He hissed and threw the whiskey in the bin. Just then his phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID and sighed loudly.

It was Victoria, the woman his mother wanted him to marry, their engagement was in a week and he was not going to marry her out of love but out of a duty to honor the family name and strengthen the company,and also stop his cousin from trying to take the company.

Martins Costa was Paul's Cousin and has been trying to take the company from Paul for a long time,there have been several court proceedings and board of directors meetings in an attempt to overthrow Paul,but a union between him and the Ross's would strengthen the Company,therefore strengthening Paul's Claim to it and that would make Martins back off.

"Hey handsome" the voice rang out sweetly from the other end. "Victoria," he said, wondering why she had called him. To be honest, he would've preferred not to even talk to her at that moment, she was annoying and only did things that infuriated him.

Just last week, she suddenly appeared in Turkey at the business event he was attending, drunk!.

She was always trying to know what he was up to and who he was meeting! Once, she even came to his house at night, claiming to have heard of a woman being in the house.

From a tender age, Paul was groomed to take over the company as the only child of Theresa and Matthew Costa. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get married to someone he loved, except that someone was from an influential and wealthy family and would be of immense help in strengthening Costa incorporation.

Unfortunately, all the women from such families were vain and only cared about shopping and the latest Birkin bag, he couldn't stand them or their behavior and it annoyed him that he would one day be with one of them.

One day, his mother brought a picture of Victoria and told him to go on a date with her, that she was going to be his wife. He instantly recognized her, he'd met her before at one of her family's fundraising events.

She was the heiress of Ross Inc. If Costa incorporations should acquire Ross, it would become huge, he envisioned the stock price skyrocketing, and Costa incorporations untouchable and standing strong.

"I miss you! are you in the office? I'm coming right now" The voice on the other end broke his reveries.

" Not right now Vicky, I'm quite busy," he said and ended the call before hearing what she would say. He didn't need any of her disturbance right now, all he needed to do was find a way to solve the issue of his PA's pregnancy, the Ross's and his mother won't be too pleased to find out about it.

He needed a solution, fast!. His phone was ringing again, it was her, he ended it and switched off the phone. He'd had enough drama for the day, he didn't need another one. He couldn't think properly, so he went out, entered his car, and zoomed off.

Chapter 3 The Offer

It was around 8:00 a.m. when Paul Costa strode into his office building.

It was a huge building, the headquarters of Costa incorporations, in the very Heart of New York.

He was wearing an Armani suit and a blue tie, he looked as handsome as always and had a smile etched on his face.

The moment his foot touched the marble floor, everyone fell quiet. Nobody was expecting him until 9:00 a.m. and they certainly didn't expect to see him smiling, it was strange.

He never smiled, he was always scowling and frowning.

People parted as he made his way to the elevator, they had the notion that his smile was dangerous.

He went all the way up,to the top floor. He walked past an empty desk, where the personal assistant should be, and noting her absence he nodded.

Immediately he got into his office,he reached for the telephone and stopped after seeing the letter across his desk.

'Dear Mr. Costa, You are to sign the documents in the envelope under this letter. You also have a conference call with Mr. John Lee from Kotex Energies by 11:00 a.m, After that, you have a brunch date with Lara Jean from Fig Enterprises by 12:30 p.m. You are also expected to be at a meeting on the second floor at 3:00 pm, you have to attend Mr. Noel's book launch by 5:00 pm and then there is the dinner date with the Dowager by 7:00 pm. I will be taking the day off, do not attempt to call me, you won't be able to reach me.

Yours faithfully, Stephanie M, Hathaway.

Ps: My decision still stands.'

He scoffed and called her and true to her words, he was unable to reach her.

Who the hell does she think she was! he immediately dialed a number on the telephone.

"Come here right now!" He yelled to the secretary at the other end of the line and slammed the telephone down.

Natalie scurried quickly to his office, stopping in front of his door to take a deep breath, straighten her dress, and fix her hair before gently tapping at the door.

"Come in!" Came Paul's voice and she quickly opened the door.

"When did Stephanie come in?"He asked without giving her time to greet him.

He was furious that she dropped a letter just like that!

"About 30 minutes ago, she said she already called you..."

"Bullshit" He cursed out loudly and Natalie sharply looked up at him.

"sir" He muttered a string of curses again before telling her to leave. Just then his phone rang, it was his mother.

"Paul!!,clear your schedules tomorrow evening, I want to have dinner with you and Victoria" Came Mrs. Costa's voice from the other end of the phone.

"Mother!!,if you want to have dinner with Victoria, you can do it all on your own, I do not care about Victoria nor dinners, I have work to do" he shouted into the phone.

"Paul you have to...." He did not wait to hear her as he quickly ended the call.

"Fucking hell", he muttered.

Stephanie sat in her small living room watching "Family Guy" when she heard a knock at her door.

She strode towards the door wondering who it might be as she wasn't expecting anybody.

She opened the door to see Paul and was surprised, his mouth was open and his eyes bulged, Stephanie Hathaway,bhis PA stood there in all her marvelous glory.

She had forgotten to pull a robe around the thin blouse she was wearing and the shorts, it barely covered her bottom and she wasn't wearing her gigantic glasses,her hair was also tied up.

Paul remained standing there unable to say anything, he was almost drooling.

Her hips flared at her waist, her legs were smooth and soft, his eyes travelled up to her chest, her thin shirt hugged her, squishing her breasts together, she wasn't putting on a bra.

He swallowed hard as his groin throbbed. She quickly shut the door and before he could knock again, she opened it, this time wearing a robe and hugging it tightly to her body.

"I prefer the former look," Paul said smiling and he was telling the truth, he liked her body, especially her curves and her eyes.

"Excuse me?" Stephanie rolled her eyes. Paul cleared his throat trying to remove the images and the thoughts swimming in his head.

He needed to get a grip on himself!, what was he doing!, He was Paul Costa and She was his personal assistant! her status,way beneath his!.

What happened was a mistake and he was there to rectify that mistake not continue it! yes, she was beautiful but he's seen loads of beautiful women, there was nothing special about her.

But even as he tried to convince himself that, he knew there was something different and special about her, different from the other women.

"What are you doing here?" She glanced at her phone and continued "Aren't you supposed to be with Lara right now?"

"I cancelled. I want to talk to you" He said firmly.

"If you are here to offer much money, you are wasting your time, I...." She trailed off before Paul hastily cut in.

"Look, this is important, let's go inside and talk"

"No", came the bitter reply.

Paul clenched his teeth.. "please, come on."

She looked at him again, sensing the urgency in his voice before opening the door wide enough to allow him entry. His eyes roamed the small space and sparse furniture,wondering how someone could live in such a place, it was just too small!

"Well then, What is it?" she asked cocking a quizzical brow.

"I want coffee, you know as I like it," he said smugly.

"If it's a warm welcome you're expecting, I'm sorry to disappoint you, you won't get it. And I'm not your assistant today, it's my off".

"Okay then! I have an offer for you" Paul said flatly. "Take all your offers and shove them up your ass" she fired back.

"Feisty,aren't you?,i have been deceived by you" he said,glancing at the small television in the room.

"I wasn't telling a lie..."

"Of course I know. I just didn't know this side of you" he interrupted.

"What side?"

She questioned and he looked at her,smirking.

"My offer.." he started to say, abruptly changing the topic.

"I don't want to know what it is, I'm not interested," she said sharply.

Paul chuckled lightly, "At least, hear me out first, it's not about money I promise."

She looked up at him.

"Well a little, but it's not all money."

"What is it?" She asked quietly.

"Full custody of the baby when it's born," he said quietly and then added as an afterthought "Of course you will be compensated."

Stephanie just sat there not saying a word, refusing to believe what she just heard.

"Stephanie," he called out,to be sure she was still with him.

"Get out!" She screamed. "Get the fuck out of my house you sick bastard!!!" she suddenly felt anger pulse through her veins as she glared at him murderously.

"I will give you time to think this through, and of course there are other terms, you will have to sign a contract," he said quietly again.

It was probably the way he was calm while telling her such things that made her enraged.

"You will never have my child, this baby is mine and mine alone, nobody can change that".

He flinched at her tone. "How are you going to raise a child?" He looked around her apartment, "In this roach-infested shithole?, this dump?, wake the fuck up Steph!" He spat out scornfully and continued. "You want to keep the baby? fine!! Don't get rid of it, become a surrogate Mother, Your child will have the best of everything, a good life, a better life than what you can offer it, think about it."

Stephanie swallowed hard. "Get out," she said calmly.

"You do not want to battle me Steph, you do not. You don't have the means to!, think about my offer, If it's more money you want, I can give you," Paul said calmly and walked to the door then he turned, "Never do something permanently foolish because you are temporarily upset."

With that he left, but not before glancing at her face. Seeing her like that broke him, he didn't understand why.

She was probably crying at the prospect of not being with her child but it was for the best, she didn't have the means to take care of a child and he was going to make true of his words.

She was going to be the child's surrogate mother and Victoria would be the child's mother. He had to discuss this with her first.

He knew she liked him too much so talking to her about that would not be a problem, she could convince her parents too.

He was counting on Stephanie to make the right choice, which was surrogacy. He still did not understand why her tears affected him, it was not the first time he had seen a woman cry, so why?

He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, husband!" Came the voice from the other end of the phone.

"Vicky, My mum wants to have dinner with you and me tomorrow, is that okay with you?" He asked, knowing she was going to agree.

He planned to tell them both about the baby then. "Certainly babe, I have to go shopping tomorrow for a dress to wear then, you have to come with me..."

"I will come pick you up, just let me know when you're ready," he said and ended the call.

"Here goes nothing" he muttered.

********************************************

"So let me get this straight, Your boss offered you twenty million dollars to get rid of the pregnancy but you refused and then he came here today and offered you money, which he didn't state the amount but told you he would give you any amount you want in return for having full custody of the baby after it's born and you still refused and he said the offer's still open?"

"Yes..sss" Stephanie replied in between sobs.

After Paul left, She called her best friend, Ciara, and narrated everything from the pregnancy to her while crying.

"Your very hot boss?" Ciara asked, unable to believe how foolish her friend had been.

"Yess" she replied. "And you want my advice because you know if it gets to court you are fucked?"

"Yes," Stephanie replied and started crying again.

"You,my dear friend are very foolish! A whole 20 million US dollars!!!!! and you said no! Okay, how are you going to take care of the child? No,how are you even going to get a good lawyer to go against Paul Costa!, you are his PA, you know how powerful this Man is! Costa Inc. owns half the country, it's a household name! He's right about you being unable to battle him. And now, he wants to go along with your wish, you can keep the baby, but after it's born, you will cut all ties with it and you want to botch that?"

Stephanie kept wailing and asking what she could do about it. She really couldn't face Paul in court!. Costa Inc. was a giant corporation, it owned many schools and universities, airlines, railways, buses, the food production industry, hotels, there was Costa furniture, Costa cars, Costa hospitals and lots more.

"My advice for you? call him, tell him to give you that twenty million dollars and that you'd give up custody of the child. Because if you go to court, my dear you will lose!." Ciara said firmly.

Stephanie kept wailing and nodding her head in denial. She could not just give up her child, she couldn't!!
