The Billionaires last chance

Sonya's POV

*****

"Congratulations, Mrs. Peters. You're four weeks pregnant!"

As soon as I heard those words from the doctor sitting behind his desk, my mouth fell, my eyes fluttering as I tried to wrap my head around the whole thing.

I'm... I'm pregnant?

I wracked my head, trying to think of how possible this was.

My husband, Callum Peters, and I have been married for three years. But it wasn't a happy union.

Our union was an arranged marriage from both our parents to secure both our family names after the media scandal incident that involved the two of us.

Callum's parents have always pressured him for an heir and we have tried our best to have a child to no avail. We even tried IVF but that proved fruitless too.

"T– Thank you, doctor," I muttered, my face heating up with a blush as I stretched my right hand forward and took the result papers.

I stared at the results, my eyes skimming through as if I still couldn't believe the doctor's words. Maybe it's because I couldn't.

After three years of an unhappy marriage, Callum rarely ever slept at home. He had houses all around the city and stayed in these houses for weeks without seeing me.

And each time when he finally sees me, he doesn't make any moves to touch me.

Except for one unexpected night about a month ago when he came back drunk...

I touched my stomach, my lips curling up into a warm smile as I realized that a child was growing in there.

"If you seem this excited, I can only imagine how excited your husband would feel." The doctor remarked with a smile as I stood up from the office seat.

I flashed him a smile and shook my head. "You have no idea, doctor."

Without wasting another second, I rushed out of the office and scurried to my car outside the hospital premises.

When I stepped into the car and started ignition, my mind began racing with so many possibilities. I was unsure of how to break the news to Callum.

Do I tell him on call since we rarely ever saw each other?

"No, that would be a bad idea." I sighed to myself, shaking my head as I began driving through the busy highway of the city. "His birthday is coming up soon though. Maybe..."

I could surprise him on his birthday! I'll go to his office with a cake and break the news of my pregnancy to him on that day.

It would be the perfect surprise.

"Sonya, you're a genius," I said to myself, my smile widening as I kept on driving.

~~~~~

On the day of Callum's birthday, I prepared myself to go see him in his office.

Before I did, I grabbed my phone and decided to dial his number, to at least wish him a happy birthday before getting to his office.

Unfortunately, when I called his number, the call got directed to voicemail, causing me to sigh with disappointment.

I'll just drop a message then...

"Uh, good morning, Callum," I said awkwardly, while simultaneously placing some finishing touches to my makeup in the mirror. "I just want to say happy birthday. I know our marriage hasn't been the happiest and that there have been a lot of things that need fixing. But I promise you... I'm sure that's all about to change soon."
