HANDSOME CEO LOOKING FOR BLESSINGS

Chapter 2 KEVIN

It was a bright Sunday afternoon. Leo's in Jeffrey's study.

“So it's a big success, dong. You no longer need to video footage of Rye and Shannon,” Jeffrey said as he sipped the forbidden powder into his nose.

“Still. Rye's family, especially her two oldest sisters, who knew they would doubt Shannon's story. Let's just take a look at them. My acting is good, right? Screaming and pulling my own hair. Hehehe!” leo said he showed the scene in front of Jeffrey.

“And I am a wise and thoughtful owner of the club,” Jeffrey said.

Both destroyed.

That night at Leo's apartment…

“So this afternoon you met Adrian. How did it go?” ask Leo curiously

“Very good and no. It's good because he's easily responsible. Not good, she wants me to stay in her penthouse during pregnancy and childbirth. He'll grab this baby,” said Shannon puzzled.

“Then what's the problem?” leo didn't understand.

“First, I told her I was three weeks pregnant, but nine weeks. Thankfully my stomach is small. Second, What if the kid looks like you?” shannon said worriedly.

“Ah, you are worried about something that has not happened yet. It's still a long time, we'll find a solution. Precisely what you have to think is how do you love my part?” leo was upset.

“Whatever allowance he gave me will I set aside for you. Oh, yeah, Adrian's gonna pay me a personal assistant. What am I supposed to do?” Shannon.

“Eh, you think I'm a beggar? You have to give me a minimum of 50 thousand dollars until the child is born. If you get more, that's my share. You must be living a luxurious life with Adrian. About the child was born later how, we still have a lot of time,” said Leo.

His eyes sparkled with greed.

"Come, let's celebrate" Leo said as he undressed Shannon.

_______________________***___________________

Shannon really enjoys living a life of treasure. He has been living in Adrian's penthouse for three months. Oh, this is what it feels like to be a father, he thought.

Shannon refused the presence of a personal assistant. That's overkill, the reason to Adrian. Instead, he asks Adrian for permission so that Gwen can accompany him and stay at the penthouse. Adrian of course allowed. She praised Shannon as a good woman and not greedy.

Adrian's Shannon pregnancy is three months and three weeks. What he did not know, the fetus that Shannon conceived was actually two months older. But Adrian did not pay too much attention and did not fully understand about pregnancy or the large belly of women who are holding.

He rarely met Shannon. In one month, at most only eight days he was in New York. Every time he visited the penthouse, Adrian said hello and read the story to the baby.

They slept in separate rooms. Although Shannon offers to have sex, Adrian refuses. He was traumatized and unable to relate to a woman he did not love.

____________________***_____________________

Adrian decides to tell his family about Shannon, but Leo suggests that the true events need not be conveyed. Adrian again felt very guilty to Leo. Shame to accept the kindness of Leo that he betrayed, even though accidentally.

Adrian's family was quite surprised, but happy when he heard he had a lover. Even so, Lady Hanidar, her mother, was angry, why did her son not marry Shannon.

“Ma, it was just a one night accident. We don't love each other. He agreed to give me custody of the baby. Then he will continue his life. His dream is to become a designer. I will provide enough supplies for him to start his career.” Adrian said.

"Yes, already. It's okay, Ma. Let the baby be Rosita's foster. They're young, 25 years old. It's good that you're in charge, Rye," Rosita said, sneering at Sonny.

“Cece is handled. You've taken care of Sonny's son. Well, it's nice to have another baby at home,” said Nancy cheerfully.

“Mama can't go to America now. Roby's case is still not right,” said Mrs Hanidar with a gloomy face.

“Nancy and Rosi only go there, Ma.” Nancy calmed her mother.

One week later…

Shannon is so nervous to hear from Rye that her two brothers will be visiting. He reported the news to Leo. Leo consulted Jeffrey.

“Still photos USG when three months. If asked about gender, say you don't know. Later four new months to be checked. Oh, yes, her sister already has a child?” ask Jeffrey.

“Yes. Why?”

“Si Rye may not know the difference between three months pregnant and five months, but her brother certainly knows. Tell Shannon to wear clothes that can disguise the content, do not dress pregnant. It will look very clear later. Thank goodness her stomach is not too big.” Jeffrey gave directions and closed the conversation with Leo on the phone.

The arrival of Nancy and Rosita…

“Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Rosita, Rye's second sister and this is Nancy, Rye.”'s oldest sister-in-law Rosita introduces herself to Shannon.

As expected, the two women checked all the details of Shannon's pregnancy. They exchange stories about the Shannon family and the Rye family. After an hour, Rosita asked Nancy to leave. Shannon was very relieved. Before going home, they asked the waiter on duty to take a photo of the three of them.

In an exclusive cafe in upper Manhattan…

Nancy and Rosita enjoy their cappuccino.

“True you, Ros. She must be six months pregnant. It can't be four months. Is the baby really big, huh?” said Nancy.

Rosita took the phone and called.

“Richard, contact Goldman & Associates, the Law firm that takes care of our interests in the United States and Canada. Have their detectives investigate Shannon McKenzie. The details will be sent via e-mail later, as well as the photo.” Rosita spoke firmly on the phone.

Nancy nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

One month later…

Nancy returns to New York and visits the offices of Goldman & Associates attorneys.

“Ah, so happy this month with Shannon's investigative affairs. I may sound like a freak, but really, after my two kids grew up, my life was really boring. I just went to the salon, the gravestone, and attended the invitation,” he said cheerfully in front of his lawyer team.

“Oh, Madam, it is not just you who are excited by this investigation. Us too! Hahaha!” said a senior lawyer laughing, followed by his junior colleagues.

“All confirmed, both about his family, and all aspects of his social life. He's the old girlfriend of Mr. Adrian's best friend, Mr. Leo Chung. It is possible that she had become pregnant before coming into contact with Mr. Rye. You can do a DNA test after the baby is born. At the moment we are still watching his movements,” the senior lawyer told Nancy.

He glanced at their detective, “Eric, how was your recent monitoring result?”

“In this one month, he went to Leo's apartment twice, accompanied by his friend, Gwen,”.

“Hmmm, interesting,” says Nancy smiling knot.

Two and a half months after Nancy and Rosita's visit…

Rye was having breakfast with Shannon.

Rye nodded while sipping her orange juice.

“Second agenda,” Shannon continued, “they want to raise funds to make a place to play and child care. I want to be present. I want to make a donation on behalf of our son. This may sound silly, but I always dreamed of being a philanthropist.”

“Oh, that's not ridiculous, Shannon. That's a noble ideal. I am still in Indonesia next week. You are the one representing. I'll make you a check,” said Rye while cutting her waffles.

Shannon clapped her hands and smiled happily. “Thank you. Doctor Jeffrey and my obstetrician will be there, too. Oh, yeah, isn't Leo now dating your secretary, Norma? Can you invite him? More people will be better, right?” said cheerful.

“Okay,” answered Rye short.

Five days later…

Rye called Shannon, asking how she was doing.

“Thank God, you're healthy. Be careful, yes. Your pregnancy is seven months old. The day after you leave with Norma alone to a charity event, escorted by a driver. So the three of you are with Gwen,” said Rye.

“Is it later at the time of the event I mention the name of our prospective child?” ask Shannon.

“Hmmm, according to Asian tradition it's not good. Could invite shit. Just say on behalf of baby Rye and Shan,” he said.

“I like it,” Shannon said. His eyes suddenly glazed over. A stupid man. Why are you so good. Ii'm sorry. He's ingrained.

At a charity health clinic in Brooklyn…

Dr. Jeffrey was receiving a call from Leo who was serving in Hong Kong, and returned home.

“Your idea is brilliant, Jeff. I salute you. If all goes according to plan, one more week Shannon's baby will be born. But you can force her to give birth tomorrow, yes,” Leo said across the phone.

“That's why, later after the event, Shannon will feel sick and ready to give birth. We'll wait one night. Tomorrow, we'll get the baby out, via C-Section surgery if needed. By the way, who will transfer to the three of us? Oh, yes, that's beyond the price of a dead baby to be exchanged for your child, yes,” Jeffrey said.

“I'll pay you with gold bars. Each worth 100 thousand dollars. That way, we won't trace the relationship between the three of us. For the cost of the baby, I'll give the head of the clinic a check as a donation. So, it’s all good. OK, good luck, yes.” Leo ended the conversation.

After the event, Shannon who was resting before going home, sambl drinking tea in the office of the head of the clinic, suddenly felt his stomach hurt. Soon she was taken to the delivery room. The contraction-stimulating drug he took an hour ago was apparently reacting quickly.

Obstetrician Shannon and the nurse who accompanied him had already prepared themselves. The head of the clinic gives instructions to the clinic nurse to help, only if needed. Dr. Jeffrey helped deliver in the room.

At nine o'clock in the night, Shannon's baby was born. Skinny and weak. The nurse immediately put him in an incubator with various hoses. Early in the morning, Shannon will be transferred to an elite hospital in upper Manhattan. The baby will be reported to be dead and will be taken to the clinic by Adrian in an embalmed state.

A baby born to Rahim Shannon will be sent to a government-owned hospital with more complete facilities. He will be reported as a child.

The nurse finished cleaning Shannon's body and changed her clothes. Shannon was then transferred to the recovery room.

Doctor Jeffrey sends Adrian a message that the baby is born, but his life cannot be saved. Adrian was shocked. He called the lawyer of Erlangga group in New York. With Nancy, Adrian leaves for New York. It was easy for him to get out and enter The Big Apple as a permanent resident visa holder.

At eleven p.m., four Goldman & Associates attorneys came to the clinic. They were accompanied by two police detectives, one forensic expert, and one obgyn doctor from the Royal Manhattan Hospital.

They split. Two lawyers searched Shannon's room. The rest went to the clinic headroom.

In the room, the head of the clinic was coffee with dr. Jeffrey and dr. John's. They were discussing the payment they would receive from Leo. They were shocked at the arrival of the lawyer.

“Sorry, why bring in forensic experts and police all?” the head of the clinic.

“Doctor Jeffrey sent a message to our client that his son was born and died. He wants to make sure everything goes according to the procedure,” said one of the lawyers carefully faced with the anxiety of the head of the clinic..

Dr. John and dr. Jeffrey looked at each other. The baby that was embalmed in Annat's room has been dead since yesterday. Their plan is that tomorrow morning they will get a newborn baby who has died in an illegal immigrant shelter. Of course the time support scenario and cause of death have been devised.

Meanwhile in the recovery room, Shannon was sucking a dropper of mineral water. The nurse hired specifically to care for him was tidying up the cushions for Shannon's comfort, when Adrian's lawyer came in.

“Goodnight, Madam. We are lawyers Erlangga Group,” said one of the lawyers.

"Oh, how quickly you came. Thank you," Shannon said with a smile. After fighting life and death to get her baby out, she forgets that she should be playing the role of a grieving mother.

One lawyer sat on a round chair of iron. He moved it closer to the bed. His partner stood up. This clinic only has standard rooms because it is intended for the poor.

“Mistress, we are so sorry for the passing of your baby. You are a tough woman. Hopefully you can soon have another baby,” he said sympathizing.

“Oh, my baby died? Oh, yes, yes,” said Shannon nervously.

Duh, I forgot, I should be sad. But I thought they'd be here by morning. Why did they come so fast? Shannon.

“Bay Ny. Erlangga is not dead. He's critical, but he's alive. Who said he died?” refute the nurse suddenly with a sewot tone.

The two lawyers looked at each other.

“Sorry, can I see the baby? Let my partner stay here with Ms. Shannon,” said the lawyer who remained standing.

The nurse nodded and guided the lawyer to the nursery, where Shannon's son was in an incubator.

Shortly after, two police cars arrived. Apparently the three doctors have been arrested. Forensic doctors took the embalmed baby to the police's criminal lab. One policeman stood guard in Shannon's room. Detectives installed a police line in the clinic's head office.

The detectives only need ten minutes to get a search and arrest warrant. Moreover, there is a Goldman & Associates Law firm involved in this case which represents the victim, Adrian Erlangga.

Shannon was crying hysterically. He was very afraid of going to jail. Shannon and the doctors were arrested on charges of fraud and embezzlement of child status, thus entering the category of child neglect.

Adrian arrives in America the next day with Nancy. He went straight to the baby room. Lawyers, nurses, and police on guard greeted him.

Nancy and Adrian looked at the skinny baby with teary eyes.

“Conditions are critical, Sir. He was born addicted to psychotropic drugs. Apparently during pregnancy, her mother often consumed marijuana. He was also worried that you would do a DNA test, so this baby would be exchanged for a dead baby. But he already admitted that the baby was Mr Leo's son,” the lawyer said.

“How about Leo?” ask Adrian.

“He will be arrested once he lands in New York,” police said.

Adrian nodded and turned to the weak baby in the incubator.

“How is the fate of this child?” tanyakanya.

“Country will take it,” lawyer says.

“Apply a petition to the court so that I can be his legal guardian until he grows up,” Adrian said, still looking at the baby.

“You already have a name to register?” ask lawyers.

“Yes. Kevin,” Adrian replied, smiling.
