The CEO Son

Chapter 1

This is probably my unlucky pink of the day. I lost my job because the company was going to close. Last week, I got my check up result from my obeyne. She said that I can't bear a child. That's why we didn't have children for five years.

I already have savings. I want to start a family with Ceejay. He will understand if I can't give him a child. We can adopt. I want to surprise my family that I'm going home today. I haven't been home for over a year.

I just went down to our corner. I paid for the taxi and walked inside. In my three years of working, I was able to build my own house. I am also teaching my siblings now. Because I have a big age gap with them. I was very excited when I got to the front of the house. I didn't make any noise so they wouldn't notice.

I peeked out the window, I was surprised because Ceejay was there. Why is it? They gather in the living room of the house. The window was slightly open so I could hear their conversation.

"Mom, Dad, I'm b-pregnant.. she Ceejay is the father.."

My world almost collapsed when I heard it. My youngest brother and my boyfriend?! What's going on here?! I felt angry.

"What do you mean, Night?" I asked without emotion. They turned to my behavior.

"W-Sister?/Graysie?" They said together while looking at my behavior.

"Did I hear right? You're pregnant? And Ceejay is the father?!" He bowed and nodded. Dad came out and went to my place.

"We're in there, son." I followed him inside.

"How long have you been fooling me?!" I asked without emotion.

"Slow down what you say, your sister is pregnant!" Mother disobeys me.

"Why? Don't I have the right to be angry?! After all, Gabi is a minor!" He didn't answer.

"And you, Ceejay! Why is he still my brother?! That's why you're so cold to me. You're terrible! Instead of me being the surprise, I'm the surprise! Wow ha!" My tears flowed one after the other.

"You don't have time for me, Graysie. Gabi is there when I need you." I looked at him badly.

"Didn't I tell you that I'm saving for our future?! Come on, Ceejay! What kind of mindset do you have?!" I shouted angrily.

"It's happened! Let's accept it. Then I love Gabi more, Graysie. I'm sorry." I shook my head.

"I can't do anything either! That's it, but Gabi, your studies! You wasted it!" He was just crying.

"That's enough! It's bad for Gabi to be stressed. Calm down, Graysie. You also said there's nothing you can do. Calm down." I just looked at mom. As I expected, she's gonna depend on her favorite child.

"Whatever." I left the house and went to our garden.

"Graysie, son.." Dad stood beside me.

"You know, I don't have a job anymore. The company I was working for has closed down. I thought that when I came home, I would find something beautiful. What a wonderful scenario?!" He tapped my shoulder to comfort me.

"I'm sorry son, it's okay for you to stay here at our house. After all, you're the one who started this." I shook my head.

"From what I found out? I don't want to be with them here at home. I won't reject Gabi. Even if we turn the world upside down, she's my sister. I'll look for a new job. I want to be far away from here again so I can forget about it." He nodded.

"If that's your decision, son." Dad said.

Graysie's POV

I am preparing for my interview. Fortunately, I found a new job quickly. It's been 3 days since I stayed here. It still feels heavy. The pain will not go away in just a few days. I heard three knocks on my door.

Sister.." I looked at Gabi who was at the door.

"What do you need?" I answered without emotion.

"I-I just want to say sorry.. I know you won't forgive me yet. I'm sorry because I made a mistake, I'm sorry because I just fell in love. I stopped it but I still fell in love with Ceejay. Sister Grays , really sorry." I sighed.

"You know I won't accept your apology, Gabi. You know Ceejay and I have been together for five years. What else can I do? Right? I'm just wasting your studies. You're only 17." I scolded.

"After I give birth, I will go back to school. I will fulfill my dream and I promise you." He answered.

"I'll look forward to that." I tap her shoulder before I leave my room.

It hurts for me. I feel betrayed. I need to stay focused. I must pass this interview. I have savings but it's not enough for me not to work. We're not rich. The company I'm applying for needs an Assistant Secretary. I hope I am qualified for that position. After an hour, I arrived.

"Hello ma'am, do you have an appointment today?" The guard asked openly.

"I'm here for an interview." My answer.

"Come in now." I nodded and went inside. It was bigger than the company I was working for.

Are you Ms. Graysie Santos?" A woman in her 40s asked bluntly.

Yes, I am." My answer.

I'm waiting for your arrival. I'm gonna accompany you in the interview room, shall we?" I nodded. "By the way, I'm Glenda Soriano. You can call me, Ma'am Glenda or sister Glenda." It added.

"Yes, Ma'am Glenda." He smiled and walked. I followed him.

"We're glad that you will apply in our company. Especially the CEO who will interview you." I froze in seconds.

Graysie's POV

The day has come. Dad helped me carry my things to the boat. He put it in the compartment of the passenger who was going to pick him up. I hugged him before riding. I also said goodbye to the people at home. I know, my heart is still heavy but I also need to say goodbye to them.

I looked at dad in the rear mirror. It is also for them.

"Man driver, where is Mr. Del Fuerto's house?" I will ask. Nothing was mentioned to me yesterday about the exact location.

"In Cainta, ma'am." I just nodded. That's a bit far from me.

I was quiet the whole flight. It took maybe three and a half hours before we got home. I mean, Mason. I was amazed when the car stopped in the front gate of the mansion. It's so huge and looks expensive. The gate opened automatically and the car drove inside again.

Thank you." Thank you for opening the car door for me.

"We're here, ma'am." I followed him to the main door of the mansion. Seriously, I thought the house I built was big. It's less than 1/4 of our house.

"Are you Graysie?" An old woman in her 50s asked bluntly.

Yes." I politely replied.

I'm Cynthia, I'm the head maid of this mansion. Just call me Manang Cynthia. Bert, you take care of her things." The guard nodded and left.

Follow me." Next I entered the big mansion.

Manang Cynthia showed me around. He also showed me the maids' quarters here. Like, I will get lost here if I don't memorize the directions he gives. It's good, remember me in such things. And the last thing we go to is the one I will take care of.

"You look like you're not nervous. Those who take care of Sir's son don't last a week. The longest is three days. You're also the youngest to apply to be young master's babysitter." It's been said. It's really weird. Does that mean the child has bad behavior?

"I also said that I will improve my work. It's for my family, Manang." He nodded and opened the door in front of us.

One week has passed since I started working here. It's really a different experience to take care of a child with a jumpiness. The maids here were impressed because they said it took a week. He's really hard to get along with because he has a bad temper. He always frowns when he sees me. I don't know, I'm just doing my job.

"They say Sir Zach will be home tonight for dinner. That's why I need to cook early. Take care of the young master." Chelsea said.
