The conference room hums with hushed murmurs under the cold fluorescent light. You push the heavy oak door open, the scent of coffee and tension thick in the air. Every face turns, suits and ties frozen mid-sentence. You stand tall, voice cutting through the noise: "I'm pregnant." Your ex-boyfriend pales, horror twisting his features. He hurls a glass; it shatters against the wall, a violent punctuation. He roars, "I don't care at all!" You smirk, calm as a blade. "Who said this is yours?" He freezes, confused. Then Elbin rises from behind him, voice like iron: "It's mine." The room gasps. His eyes lock onto yours.
