GIANNAI gulped down another cup of my wine. I've been waiting for heaven knows how long for Ethan to show up and the anxiety was killing me.What if William found out the truth? He's never going to let me go scot-free and I'm going to be screwed. He might even end up taking me to jail.My career would be over. Who would take care of Gigi and my mom? I can't let that happen but good thing I had plan B activated just in case anything went wrong.I got all the passports ready just in case anything blows up. My career was already at risk and the only thing I need William for is to boost my name right now.I heard footsteps approaching, I ran out and was relieved to see that it was just Ethan. I was waiting for him all day and he just walked in, making a grand entrance like this wasn't just a big deal.“Why did it take you so long? Did you know how worried I was? I'm panicking right now,” I ranted out to him.He looked at me, a smile clear in his facial expression and I was already annoye
WILLIAMA knock on the door snapped me right out of my thoughts and I turned to check the time. It was almost midnight and I knew who could be here at this hour. It was either Henry or Bailey.The knock became so persistent that I just couldn't ignore it and was left with no choice but to answer it. I opened the door and wasn't surprised to see Bailey. She was dressed in a sexy night gown and a robe to match. Her hair was tied up in a rough bun.Gosh! Was she trying to tempt me or what?I gulped down a large sum of my saliva, trying not to get intimidated by her appearance. It's almost midnight and she came looking like this?“William!” I heard her call, snapping me right out of my thoughts.I had just lost it for a while there that even to think straight was now a problem. What is she trying to do?I took a deep breath, analyzing the situation at hand. “It's almost midnight and I need to sleep so whatever the issue is you had better make sure that it's worth it.”She was taken aback
BAILEYI opened up my eyes only to find myself in a hospital. I immediately jolted up from my bed but was more surprised when I realized that William was beside me. He had his eyes shut and his head placed backward.He was asleep and I couldn't help but smile at how cute he looked when he was asleep. I slowly moved my hands to his hair, massaging it gently. He smiled a bit and I could tell that he was enjoying it.He opened up his eyes slowly, I panicked and rushed to pretend like I was sleeping. I heard him chuckle, more in the form of mocking me. Did he know that I was caressing his hair?“You know that you don't have to pretend to be sleeping right?” I heard him say.There was no hiding it anymore. I slowly removed the blanket and looked at him with a smile on my face. “How're you feeling? You must be hungry, Agatha brought something for you to eat claiming you might not like hospital food, I'd get it for you.” He rushed to get up but I was quick to stop him before he could make a
WILLIAM’S P.O.V“Ohh my God! That's amazing,” Aunt exclaimed and she got up, immediately running to hug Bailey, hugging her rather very tightly. I could tell that she was feeling uncomfortable but just trying to adhere to the situation.“I'm so happy that you're pregnant. I've always wanted to be a grandmother, Matthew and I have always had this fear that William would never have a child considering how stuck up he was but everything worked out just fine, i can't wait to tell Matthew,” she squeals in excitement.I was glad that she was happy at least but the only person who didn't have much of an excited expression on her face was Gianna. I wasn't expecting anything from her though.“Daddy,” Gigi called out to me. “What's happening?” She asked, her voice timid and soothing.I took a deep breath, enjoying her innocence. “Well, you're about to be a big sister, Gigi,’’ I announced.“Yay!” She yelled out in delight. “I'm going to be a sister. I've always wanted a sister because I wouldn't
BAILEYThe past week has been so weird, everyone's attention has just been weirdly fixed on me, especially William. I noticed that he's becoming more caring and always following me for doctor appointments whenever he has the time.It's nice of him to do so and I would never complain of such but it does seem a little fishy. I had always thought that he wouldn't want to even like the idea of having a baby, especially since Gigi is in the picture but he's different.And not once did he even opt for things like abortion or divorce. He's being so mature about it, I had expected earlier on for things to go much worse than this.I heard a knock on my door and it was like I was talking about the devil. I looked up to see Williams holding a coconut oil in his hands. I smiled admiring his peaceful nature. “Hey you,” he walked over to my side, sitting close to me on the bed.“Hi, how have you been?”“Good, just bought this for you,” he brought out the oil. I was about to collect it but he immed
Bailey’s POVBang! A loud crash jolted me up from my sleep, I rubbed my eyes groggily to try to make sense of my surroundings when I heard another crash, it sounded like it was coming from downstairs. I reached for my phone to check the time and saw it was the dead of the night. I couldn't help but wonder where William was and who could be causing such a commotion.“What's going on,” I mumbled in a sleep state as I rushed downstairs, the kitchen seemed to be the source of the noise. The kitchen was in a mess, broken plates, broken silverware, everything was in a mess and Ethan was in the middle of it all, he was standing there in a disheveled state, his hair was a mess and there were dark circles under his eyes it looked like he hasn't slept for days. I was still taking in his features when he threw an empty wine bottle on the floor causing an ear shrieking noise.“Ethan,” I called out my voice trembling, “What…what are you doing,” I asked, “what are you doing here so late at night?”
Bailey’s P.O.V“William what…where have you been? No, don't answer that. I have never been so glad to see you. Did yo.. did you hear what Ethan said about gian-“Yes, I heard everything.” he replied with a sad look on his face. He looked tired and uninterested with what I had to say. I slowly observed his appearance and the sound of something dripping caught my attention. That was when I noticed the massive trail of blood around William, I gasped when I saw his bloody knuckles.“W.. William, what happened to you? Why… let me go get the first aid box,” I stammered as words failed me. “Just stay here, I'll be ba–”“Don’t bother, I can take care of myself,” he cut me off and turned around heading towards the kitchen door. “Wait, where are you going? I called out to him, “You can't leave me here. What about Ethan? W… what are we gonna do about him?” I whispered that last part out.“Nothing, I’m going upstairs to take a shower and as for Ethan, leave him. The cops will be here any minute
Bailey's POV“What.. What's this, William? Divorce papers? W..why?” I asked, my voice trembling and breaking as I stared at William who types away on his phone. “Don't ask me why. Just sign the damn papers.” He replied, his eyes still fixed on his phone. He didn't bother to meet my eyes. “But this..this means..”“I know exactly what this means, Bailey. I breached the contract, so I'm gonna pay you. Henry would handle that aspect. Now, please, sign the goddamn papers.” He said, finally putting the stupid phone away. I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones kicking in, but I hate that stupid phone.“I wasn't talking about the money, I-”“Bailey I really don't have time to waste. Sign these.” My leg started growing weak. I sniffed. I had been trying very hard to stop myself from crying but my voice was giving me off. I had to sniff to push the emotions in. “B.. But what about your grandfather's will? Your inheritance? How are you going to get..”I said, my voice breaking. “I don
