The Billionaires's Temptation (Book 1)

6. Confronting responsibilities

Olivia

My whole mind wasn't with my body as I walked into the restaurant where Logan and I will be meeting. Getting myself into a big trouble is the last thing I want to happen. I didn't think about the responsibilities when my emotions took better of me. At first I wanted to call Logan and tell him I won't be able to make it but Jamie convinced me that it's the chance to tell him about the pregnancy.

I don't know how he'd react to it. For someone with high profile. What will people think if they find out. A man engaged slept with another woman and got her pregnant. I sunk in a deep breath when I sighted him from afar his head down staring at his phone. At that very moment, I knew I've made a big mistake for myself.

As I walked towards him, my heart pounding in my chest, Logan looked up and our eyes met. He stood up and smiled at me. "Olivia, you look beautiful," he said.

"Thank you," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. I sat down opposite him and fidgeted with my fingers unsure of what to say. Logan noticed my nervousness and reached across the table intertwining his hands. "Is everything okay?" he asked, concern etched on his face.

I took a deep breath and looked him in the eye. I don't think I will be able to stay calm if I don't tell him everything right that instant. "Logan, there's something I need to tell you," I began my heart thumping loudly in its ribcage. The nervousness inside me was something I've never experienced before. Not even the time Alex first proposed to me. This one occupied my brain cells with fear. Fear of what will follow.

"I'm pregnant."I finally uttered in one breath.

For a moment, there was complete silence. Logan's expression changed from concern to shock, then to anger. "What?" he exclaimed, pulling his hand away. "How could you let this happen, Olivia? I'm engaged, for God's sake!"

"I know, and I'm sorry," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. "I didn't plan for this to happen. It was a mistake."

"A mistake?" Logan repeated, his voice rising. "This is more than just a mistake, Olivia. This is going to ruin everything."

"I understand that," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know what to do, Logan. I just want to be honest with you."

Logan sat back in his chair and ran a hand through his hair. "I need some time to think about this," he said finally. "I can't make any decisions right now. You should've been careful"

"What?" I asked not believing he'd say such. Last time I checked, he's practically at fault too. We were both consumed by our desires. "You know I didn't put this inside me right?"

"You didn't but you should've taken extra measures" I tried to read something in his face. Reality hit me hard, this is someone I know nothing about. Looking at him now, it was as if I'm meeting him for the first time.

"Are you blaming me?" I muffled out as calmly as I can. It's not the time for me to raise my voice. After all we're in a public.

"No, I'm not blaming you," Logan replied, his voice softening slightly. "I just need some time to process everything. This is a big decision for both of us."

I nodded, feeling a knot form in my stomach. I knew he was right, but it didn't make the situation any less difficult. "I understand," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

There was an awkward silence between us for a few moments, and I couldn't help but feel like the entire world was staring at us. "Look, Olivia I have to go," Logan said finally, standing up from the table. "But we'll talk soon, I promise."

I nodded again, feeling numb as I watched him leave. It was clear that things were going to be different between us from now on, and I wasn't sure how to deal with it. All I knew was that my life was about to change drastically, and I had no idea what the future held for me.
