SWNOVELS Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 1 “Congratulations, you're pregnard” The doctor said with a hint of a smile, while Aurelia Hawthorne felt as if she just heard the biggest joke of the century She was single. How could she possibly be pregnant? She wasn't a starfish, capable of aS**ual reproduction. “Doctor, you must be mistaken. There's no way I could be pregnant.” “Didn’t you have artificial insemination last month?” What? Aurelia nearly fell off her chair. When did she ever have artificial insemination? *I'm single. Why would I have artificial insemination? I just had a regular check-up last month.” The doctor looked at her in surprise, “The medical records do indicate that, but the doctor who performed the procedure has already left. I'm not really sure about the details. If you don't want the child, I can help you schedule an abortion.” Aurelia felt as if she had been struck by lightning. What was going on? Was she really pregnant? Just yesterday, she had used all her money to pay for her brother's medical bills. She was even borrowing money to eat. Where would she get the money for an abortion? She stumbled out of the hospital, her mind buzzing. As she stepped out of the hospital, she was pulled aside by a woman. “Are you Aurelia?” She turned around, and was taken aback. Wasn't that Elowen Ainsley, the fiancée of the big boss of the company? “What can I do for you?” Elowen handed her a business card. “You can ask for anything you want. Have the baby and give it to me.” What? She was shocked. “How did you know I'm pregnant?” Elowen glared at her. “Just do as I say.” Aurelia wasn't a pushover. She wasn't going to be manipulated without knowing what was going on. “If you don't explain, I won't agree to it.” Elowen frowned, clearly frustrated. Her gaze swept over Aurelia“s stomach, her expression ominous. “The truth is, the child should be mine. I registered under a fake name that happened to be the same as yours. The damn doctor mixed it up and performed the artificial insemination on you.” Aurelia was dumbfounded and shocked. So, the father of the child was the big boss? How did she get involved in such a mix-up? “I... I need to think about it.” This was a big decision. How could she make it instantly? “I'll wait for your answer tomorrow. If you dare to leak a word about this, you're done.” Elowen left. On the way back to the office, Aurelia was in a mess Elowen’s word was a tempting offer. Her brother was sick, and medical bills were a big sum of money. She really needed the money. But could she live a normal life after having a baby? She walked into the elevator with a worried look on her face. Just as the elevator doors were closing, a tall figure walked in. Seeing the man, Aurelia’s heart pounded in her chest. It was Leopold Stirling, the big boss! And the biological father of the child in her belly! Was this what they called “enemies on a narrow road”? 15:22 Since she started working handsome and outstand good day. Mr. Leopold" Lespired didint recognize her Out of polneness, he nodded slightly.

Is the elevator malfunctioning? "Stay still Leopold immediately pressed himself against the inner wall of the elevator, his expression calm. He had experienced wondes and knew how to handle emergencies. He took out his phone to turn on the light, but the elevator shock vidently again. Aurela was already scared witless, her legs weak. Her body lurched forward in the shaking, crashing into the fleshy wall in front of her She felt dizzy and tried to get up, but found that she couldnt move. Her head was stuck Stuck between two “big pillars”! She panicked, her mind a blank Her little hands scrambled around the “pillar”, left and right, up and down.

Was she trying to seduce him? A spark of anger flashed in his deep eyes. He grabbed the woman's wandering hand. “If you dare to move again, these hands won't be yours anymore.” Aurelia whimpered, “Mr. Leopold, I really am stuck.
