Reynald the CEO

Chapter 46

"You....."

Reynald looked at the person now in front of him. His tongue was unable to say anything. The shock effect of the person before him successfully made himself freeze instantly.

"Rey...."

This sound........

A voice he had not heard for 10 months. Reynald looked at the woman's face which had not been much different since the last time they met. Reynald patted her on the cheek slowly trying to make himself aware that this was not a dream. He remembered a few months ago about his dream. He was afraid if this was the same as the dream at that time but not....... Reynald realized this was real and that Clara was right in front of him.

"Can I come in?".

Reynald shifted his body to the side giving Clara room to step inside.

But not lost the shock effect due to the sudden presence of Clara, Reynald again surprised because Clara pushed a stroller that had been behind the door until not reached by Reynald's vision.

"wait". Reynald.

"Why did you suddenly bring a baby here?".

Clara smiled sweetly at Reynald. "I told you inside, didn't I?". He said as he stepped in.

Reynald closed the door of the penthouse and looked at Clara's back with a million questions in mind.

Reynald sat on the sofa opposite Clara. He tries to keep his distance from the woman from his past. Reynald stared intently at Clara but the woman did not budge in the least.

Clara, who knows Reynald's character, never felt intimidated by the man's attitude.

"You're so cold.. Don't you miss me?". Clara asked with a smile.

"Hindu?". Reynald asked and a second later he grinned.

"What do you expect from a guy who you've been living with for 10 months? You'll know if there's no more homesickness left".

I heard the breath of Clara. The woman glanced at the figure of a baby who was sound asleep in the stroller.

"Rey.. I'm sorry for you".

"I knew I was wrong to just walk away and disappear without any news. But I have a reason, Rey.."

Reynald. "Reason?".

"What is the reason you're doing that to me, huh?".

Clara stared at Reynald. The woman is seen breathing in and exhaling repeatedly before explaining everything to Reynald.

"I was pregnant then..."

Reynald was surprised not to hear it.

"Pregnant?!". Reynald said 1 octave higher.

Clara nodded slowly. "Yes. I'm pregnant and I'm confused as to how it was".

"Who's the guy who's been impregnating you?!".

Clara stared right into Reynald's bead. "You..."

"You know I only relate to you. How can you ask me that, Rey?".

Reynald was surprised. If only his heart wasn't strong, he might have fainted this time.

"Do you expect me to believe?".

"You disappeared for 10 months and suddenly you came to me with a baby and said it was my baby? What kind of soap is it you're trying to make, Clara?". Cecar Reynald stared intently at the woman.

"By God this is your baby, Rey!!! I'm not lying to you!". Clara said a little sobbing.

"Look.. She's your daughter, Rey. Our daughter..." Clara turned to Reynald who was silent.

"I....."

"I'm sorry...."

"I... Hicks...."

Clara tried to say something but she could not stem the sadness and guilt to Reynald.

"When I found out I was pregnant. At that time, I was only 5 weeks old. Mind confused.. I'm thinking a lot of things.. My career.. Your career.. The people out there. There'll be an uproar if I tell you then..."

"Then my agency found out about my pregnancy. I was pressured by them and they asked me who the father of the child I was carrying was..."

"I told them and they finally gave me a choice, Rey..."

Clara turned to look at Reynald who was still silent. The cold aura was very pronounced from the man. Clara sighed softly and continued her explanation.

"My genesis gave me a choice between you or my entertainment career. I'm under a contract that prevents me from getting married for the next three years and if the public finds out about this scandal. I will no longer be able to perform in the entertainment world. I know your character.. You'd marry me if you knew I was pregnant. You're important in my life, Rey.. But my career is important too. You know that, right?".

"Then my agency arranged everything and kept me vacuumed for a year".

"You're nuts.. You're a crazy woman!". Sizzle Reynald with a piercing look at Clara.

"Rey...." Clara tried to hold Reynald's hand but Reynald quickly stood back from the woman.

"You made a choice, right? You chose your career over mine. Then leave! What are you coming back for, huh???". Umpat Reynald, appointing Clara.

Clara who was sitting on the sofa was sitting on the floor.

"Please.. I'm sorry, Rey... I'm sorry for you". Clara broke into tears as she held onto her chest.

"I also went through a difficult time. During pregnancy I missed you so much.. I want to be accompanied by you in undergoing pregnancy but the fact is I have to face it alone. Every night I cry to be hugged by you.. Until I gave birth to her I wanted to see you and be accompanied by you..."

Clara cried so hard that she squeezed her chest as if that was where the pain really came from.

Reynald rubbed his face rough.

"You know, Clara... You made my life a mess with your one-sided decision!".

"You..... Argh Fuck!!!!!". Shouted Reynald frustrated.

All this was outside his mind. He never thought something like this would happen.

Reynald exhaled his coarse breath. He looked at Clara who was still resting on the floor and his gaze turned to the baby who looked still comfortable sleeping without being disturbed by the dispute between Reynald and Clara.

"If this baby is really my son, you wouldn't mind if I took a DNA test, would you?". Ask Reynald.

Clara was seen wiping her tears and immediately stood up.

"Please.. I don't mind if you want to do it. I understand why you should take that test. Do the test if my words are not enough to convince you". Clara looked at Reynald with her eyes open.

Reynald nodded thinly. "good. Tomorrow we'll do it at the hospital of my choice".

"I'm tired. Let's just continue tomorrow". Reynald said as he walked away from Clara.

"Rey...." Call Clara.

Reynald looked back at Clara.

"Can my daughter and I sleep here now? It's very late". Ask Clara.

Reynald glanced at the baby stroller and nodded. "You can use any room on the 1st floor". Said Reynald and soon passed by leaving Clara.
