Chapter 1
Robin Locksley was fed up of his father judging his lifestyle 'I'm only 27 I've got plenty of time to settle down 'he thought to himself but yet again here he is walking into the building dreading what's to come because every time he walk into his father's office it always ends up With his father pushing for him to settle down and get a family of my own but he's quite happy with his somewhat playboy lifestyle going out and parting every weekend and bringing new women home every night, sure some people may find it lonely but I like the freedom it comes with. His dad has a constant habit of trying to set him up with women who are only interested because of his family name and are in it for the money .sure his family are quite well off with a few homes scattered around the place and have a multi-millionaire company in the technology world. he's been working for this fathers business Lockley-tek since he was 21 and yet his father still doesn't believe he is capable as he has yet another meeting with his father he hears the usual words
'I can't trust you to take over my company robin when you haven't even got your life together? When I retire I want to be able to relax and not worry if you are running the company into the ground , you know where I stand with this robin before you get the company I want to see you happy with a wife ' Robert said sighing leaning back into his office chair shaking his head with disappointment
'Just because I've not settled down yet doesn't mean I'm not capable of running the company dad me having a wife isn't going to change it and you know it ,I've been working here for 6 years now learning and you still rather David take over than me ' robin said angrily while standing up knocking over his chair with a loud bang ,walking to the door ' I came here to talk about Emma birthday weekend dad she's using beach house for the weekend I will tell her you asked after her ' shaking his head while slamming the door shut.
His whole life his dad has said 'you need a family so I know once I die the company will continue In this family' he always thought when the time came he wouldn't be so set for him to get a family, If he doesn't get the company his cousin David will most likely inherit the company
As he heads back to his own office he thinks of ways of getting what he wants If only he would hire someone to be his wife until this father stepped down in 6 months he thought is it even possible sighing as he sits down after downing the nest whiskey in this glass in one whole looking out of this office window, if only it was that easy he thought to himself
'fuck sake' as he angrily chucked the empty glass at the wall turning in his chair to look out his window still shaking with anger pulsating through his body
his assistant coming the room after softly knocking 'what did you dad this time robin you shouldn't let this get to you ' Alison said sighing coming fully into the office
'his usually demanding me to settling down and refusing to hear me out I don't need a wife to be successful' he said as he turned to face her anger still his voice 'at this point my only options are either to marry someone who isn't going to make me happy or let him give the company to David I just don't get why graham didn't get this treatment ' wishing he was like his brother and gets given everything handed to him even through graham just chucks everything he doesn't want away
She sighed 'we all know your father wants you to inherit the company but he is just doing what he thinks is right as for graham we all know you're the best person for the company not your brother ' she says as she leaves him to his own thoughts
Regina Mills thought she had her life together that was until one drunken night out parting with the girls ,where she made the mistake of having one night stand with a random man at the club makes her questioning everything as she finishes work there was only one thing she had on her mind all day, she needed to do she stopped off for a pregnancy test praying that it was all in her head it and it was all because she's stressed
'Calm down it's properly nothing' she said to herself as she entered her house putting her stuff down on the kitchen counter and kicking off her shoes , she went into her bag grabbing the item that will tell her fate, heading for the bathroom until her phone rang , she debated answering but upon seeing the caller id she accepted the call
'Hey Em ' she said with a shaky voice Hoping her best friend wouldn't pick up on it
'are You alright you sound stressed ,rough day at work? I was just checking your still up for this weekend at the beach house ' Emma said suspiciously 'It's this weekend? Of course I'm going you only turn 25 once' she said trying to sound excited 'ooh yay I can't wait I'll leave to it bye ' Emma said as she hung up
Regina sighed placing her phone down and running her hands over her face then pushing her hair away already dreading the weekend to come she could do with some time on her own at process instead of parting all weekend
'I've got this 'she said as she plucked up the confidence to finally check what's been on her mind for the past week she slowly picked up the test and headed into the bathroom where 5 minutes later she came out with tears streaming down her face with the positive test still lying on the counter, It's one thing to suspect it but now she has the confirmation right in front of her it makes it suddenly feel 10x more real, she's pregnant
'What the hell do I do now ' the one and only time she has a drunken one night stand she would land up pregnant 'ugh fuck my family isn't going to be happy, her mother Cora has always been disappointed with her life choices whether it was who she was friends with ,her career choices or how she looks and acted . She could just imagine how her mother is going to react to her bringing a baby into the world with no father in the picture
