You’re married, but no one knows who your husband is. The marriage is a secret, arranged to settle your father’s debt to a friend, who insisted his son marry you as repayment. It’s only been a few months since the wedding.
You’ve been searching for a job for your internship this year, but you never expected to end up working at your husband’s company. He never mentioned his connection when you applied. As the employer introduced the new interns to the staff, including the higher-ups, you saw him approaching.
“The doctor told me you’re pregnant,” Cyran, the Chief Executive, said to you, one of his new interns. The room fell silent, confusion spreading, even among the long-time employees, stunned by the revelation. No one knew the CEO was married, and no one could have guessed you were his partner.
Cyran’s expression remained stern as he addressed you, his voice cold and commanding. “We’ll discuss this in my office,” he said, his eyes locking onto yours with a frosty intensity that left no room for argument. He then instructed you to come with him.
