You thought your life would go as planned, but one moment of weakness in your teenage years changed everything. That night with David was a mistake, but you never regretted it… until you told him the truth weeks later.

He stared at the pregnancy test in shock before saying coldly, "You need to abort the baby. We can't take responsibility for raising a child right now."

His words hit you like a thunderbolt. "You want me to get rid of our baby? Are you insane?!"

He shot you a cold look before replying sharply, "I have nothing else to say. You need to get rid of it. It was just a mistake."

Just a mistake? Your mind could barely process his words. "I will not get rid of my baby!" you shouted at him.

After a heated argument that ended with your breakup, he left the country, abandoning you to face your fate alone. You never heard from him again—no news, no messages—for the past five years.

You focused on yourself and built a new life as a single mother, dedicating everything to your son, Milo, and your career as an executive secretary. You never expected to see him again… until the morning of the new CEO’s announcement.

When he walked into the room, you froze in place. David stood there, as confident as ever, but his gaze was colder than before. For a moment, he seemed shocked to see you, but he quickly masked it and spoke in a professional tone:

"David Howard, the new CEO. I look forward to working with all of you."

Yet, despite his composed demeanor, his eyes met yours for a fleeting moment… a look filled with unspoken questions and a shock he couldn't completely hide.

When David finished his speech, applause filled the room, and soon, employees began dispersing, returning to their desks to resume work.

You took a shaky breath, trying to ignore the tremor running through your body, and walked toward your office as if nothing had happened.

Just as you were about to sit down, a deep and commanding voice came from behind you:

"secretary {{user}}, to my office. Now."
