Hayes' POVThe next morning at breakfast, I wasn't expecting a yes from Bianca. But as we sat down at the table, she looked me straight in the eye and said, "I'm okay with your plan, Hayes. I'll pretend to have a bad womb, and I'll pay you back every dime you've given me."I was taken aback. I hadn't expected her to agree so readily. And what really surprised me was that she didn't seem to mind that her reputation would be destroyed by this plan.My heart boiled, what did this lady take me for? A means to an end? Did she use me? How could she take all I've done for her for granted? I was terribly pissed."Bianca, are you sure about this?" I asked, trying to give her an out. "Think about what this will mean for you. You'll be known as the woman who couldn't give me a child. Are you really okay with that?" I asked, trying to hide how angry I was feeling. I mean, I didn’t want her to feel like I was begging for her to stay.Bianca shrugged. "I don't care about my reputation, Hayes. I ju
Bianca's POVI paced the living room for what felt like years waiting for Hayes to get back home. I still find it kind of strange that I now address Hayes home as mine now. It is more like a mansion than a home but I have no choice.I still find it a little bit confusing as to why Hayes is going through all this trouble for me. I know he is powerful but I still found it strange how he was able to get such a confidential file of the project. A project that was supposed to be my ticket to a brighter future.That project was my sweat and blood, although it was tragically and wrongly snatched away from me by that piece of thrash. I still considered it my baby, a creation that I hoped to cherish but now Hayes was ready to use that creation to go into battle with a very powerful man.I was not ready for this exposure that was why I kept quiet, hoping that one day I would finally be able to rise above this sour situation I am currently housed in.I wonder what Hayes' true agenda was?“Get
Hayes POVI hated the fact that she felt she had nobody to protect her. She claims to be strong, but I know otherwise.She is hurt. But she does not want to accept it.“You don't have to worry Bianca, I will handle all this and nobody would even think of coming for you. You just have to trust me.” I said, trying to comfort her.“For how long will I be protected under your umbrella Hayes? You seem to forget that we are under a contract. A contract that has a termination date.” I wanted to reassure her that I was never going to stop protecting her. But I was unsure on how to say the words without sounding like I plan to keep her with me forever.I know she blames me for keeping her locked up in this contract relationship, this was not what she wanted, it was not what I wanted but I could not ignore the feeling I have for her. I cared for her, I have grown to love her and now I do not want her to ever leave my side. I do not want her to feel cheated. I want to protect her. I felt a str
Bianca's Pov.I was confused, his lips were on mine voluntarily.I could feel his breath on my face his hands at the nape of my neck, his fingers softly caressing my soft spot “Hayes…” I moaned, unable to control the bubbling feeling of need and pleasure I felt from his touch.Hearing him say those words. “I want you.” made my heart skipped a beat.Hayes Caldwell wanted me. I could not believe it, could he really mean it? Was I not hallucinating?Suddenly I felt a pat on my ass. Hayes was dropping my ass.My eyes widened in surprise, he was touching me, Hayes Caldwin was touching me.“Hayes…. I …” I tried to say in between the kisses.“Bianca, can't you see I want you, I have always wanted you..” he whispered, his breath caressing my lips. I stared at his eyes and the sincerity in his eyes made my heart ache. I wanted him to, my body and my heart craved for him.Just once, just this once, I am only going to give in to these emotions just this once.I slowly raised my arm and placed
Bianca's point of view.Hayes sat down across from me, chatting excitedly about the wedding.To be honest I am a little bit confused as to why he is so enthusiastic about a wedding that is all a ruse.“I booked an appointment with the wedding planner for tomorrow, so get prepared and free your schedule,” he said, with a bright smile on his face.Seeing him so happy and filled with excitement filled me with joy, it was almost cute. Cute is not usually the word to describe a person like Hayes but seeing how excited he was made my heart flutter but there was a nagging thought at the back of my head.I just did not know how to deal with it, what to do. I should be happy that I have a man who is this excited to marry me but it was all fake and besides his mother had made it clear that I would only marry her son if I got pregnant.I know ever since the day Hayes was able to acquire my boss' former company, our relationship has gotten significantly better, but that did not stop the looming r
Haye's point of view.Bianca and I sat down, across from the wedding planners. I heard they were very experienced and good at their job. It was my wedding after all no matter what contract we have it has to be big and befitting.A lot of eyes are going to be on us on that big day, there are a lot of expectations, I would be introducing Bianca not as my girlfriend or finance but as my wife.Just the thought filled me with joy. I could not wait for that day.But I quickly noticed that while the wedding planners were enthusiastically displaying ideas upon ideas for Bianca and I to choose from she sat beside me awfully quiet with a bemusing expression.“Are you okay?” I whispered into her ears while the planners talked among themselves for what would be a better fit for the table decorations.“I am fine.” She replied, flashing me a bright smile that did not seem to reach her eyes.She was lying, but why?I stared at her for a moment and decided not to stress it. I would ask her when we go
Bianca’s POV.The fact that I was pregnant still felt a little bit shocking.I know I should be happy, this was good news… I think. I was somewhat happy but I could not stop the lurking thought that kept reeling in my mind.What Hayes and I have is contractual, being pregnant just makes it more complicated.I want to have his children, I want to be with him. No matter how hard I tried to deny it, it was clear that I have feeling r him.He has my heart now.I was attached to him and I know it is going to be way harder to leave him when the time comes, and that was scary.It's been two days since I found out I was pregnant. Hayes has been by my side all this time, which was quite surprising and quite flattering.He was so caring and paid close attention to my needs and want, making sure I was comfortable.“Bianca?” He called, knocking at the door tonannoice his presence.I stared at him, surprised at how he was able to get into the room without my knowledge. I had zoned out.“Sorry, whe
Haye's POV.I watched in shock as my mother hit the woman I have grown to love dearly. The future mother of my child. I know my mother has always been strong headed but I have never seen her this violent.“Mother, enough!” I yelled, for the first time in my life I yelled at her, the shocked expression on her face showed she was not expecting me to yell at her.“Hayes….” She called my name, her voice barely audible.I love my mom, but right now she is crossing a line that is not supposed to be crossed.Bianca was my future wife. I don't care if we signed a contract or not. The situation is way different now. She was pregnant with my child. I will do anything to protect her. Even if it means going against my parents.“How can you think of marrying a nobody. An orphan.” My father spat out in disgust.“Father that isy choice, Bianca did not choose that status, I would appreciate it if you stop commenting about it.” I snapped.It was not a crime, it was almost In her life I am sure she di
Haye's POV Sleep did not seem to come easy. Inlaid on the bed totally exhausted after a very extensive and intimate period with Bianca. It's way past midnight and I can't seem to sleep. My mind was consumed with a lot of thought.For the first time I got to see and hear the heartbeat of my child. It feels unreal that I have created a life. And the fact that it was a boy made me more excited. I have always wanted to have a boy. That should have been enough to fill me with happiness, to make me forget everything else. But I could not stop the lurking thought of Ginny and my alleged sonHow could I forget? How could I forget about Ginny and Adrian? How could I pretend that the child she claimed was mine didn’t exist?I tossed and turned in bed, the thoughts swirling in my head.Each time I tried to close my eyes the image of Bianca’s disappointed face haunts me.I wanted to tell her everything, I wanted to stop lying to her and deceiving her. She deserves that truth, but each time I o
Bianca’s POVThe day had finally ended. It was a very stressful first day. From the fight with Hayes tonthe constant influx of files to my table. There was a reason Hayes company was one of the fastest and profitable companies in the world. Things were always getting done and people were constantly working.“Uhmm I am going now. See you tomorrow.” Micheal said with a small smile on his lips as he waved me good bye.It felt nice to finally make some friends. I have always been a lonely bird. No one wants to get involved with an orphan.There was no malice in my new workplace, everyone seems to respect eachother and it just felt nice.If I was being very honest I enjoyed my first day at work.“I’m waiting at the entrance xx.” Hayes messaged popped up on my phone.I quickly shut down my computer and packed up my bag.To be honest I missed him so much. I walked out of the building and saw him with his palm in his pocket as he scrolled through his other hand.As if he could feel myvues o
HAYE’S POV I heard it all. I could only stand still and listen to Binaca and Alex conversation.The guilt was eating me inside. Thank God I was able to quickly text Alex to inform him that I was inside the office with Ginny and he should politely send Bianca away.But the moment my phone rang, I thought we had been caught definitely and the smug look on Ginny’s face did not help matters.“She is out there I could push the glass and she will know. You are in here and you are lying to her.” Ginny whispered, with a mischievous look on her eyes.“Shut up, and stay still.” I shunned her.“Or what?” She teased making g her way towards the glass vase beside my table, just before she could push it, I grabbed her arm and shoved her towards the wall. “You must be crazy.” I snapped at her.Just then Binaca said goodbye to Alex and walked away.“You know, I missed your touch. You were always more fun when you were aggressive.” She purred, her fingers tracing the bottoms on my shirt.I pushed he
Bianca's POV.I felt guilty. That has been my reaction since I arrived back from the lunch date with Hayes.I could barely focus at work, my thoughts were consumed with him. I havd been staring at the blank pieces of paper for over an hour and still don't know what to do.I knew I was a little bit too harsh with my response to him. Hayes love me and he just wanted to make sure I adapted to my new work environment properly.It been quiet some time since I worked in an office space and with me being in my first trimester of pregnancy after the doctor gave clear warnings to avoid stress, it was only right for him to be worried.Although he was being to possessive, he did not deserve to be lashed on like that.I had to apologize. I knew I needed to apologize. But it did not feel like an easy fit. My pride is kind of the only thing I have no and I was not someone who admits they were wrong, I did not want to appear vunerable but at the same time I don't want him to feel like I don't love
Hayes POVI could believe my eyes. For years I have not seen Ginny and herrbshe was sitting comfortably on my chair with her legs hanging on my desk.She was a woman I once considered my world l, the woman I was willing to do anything for she was also the woman who broke me completely.She looked the same but there was something definitely different about her demeanor. The Ginny I knew was once a shy and easygoing person but the person staring at me now felt like a contrast to that image.She had a cold, calculative mischievous look on her face, one that made me weary.“Are you that shocked to see me?Is that why you are not going to say anything?” She asked, making the same purring sound again.Not only did she seem different she also sounded different. Seeing her once again after so many years sent chills down my spine.“How the fuck did you get into my office?” I yelled at her, I made a mental note to talk to my secretary about this.“Come on now Hayes, that is no way to treat you f
Hayes POV I stared at the bunch of paperworks on my table, unable to focus on any of them. Every single thought in my mind was consumed with Bianca. I could not help worrying about her wellbeing and how she was faring. It was her first day at work after a very long time and added to that she was pregnant, still in the early stages of pregnancy. I have witnessed how her pregnancy has put a lot of strain on her and now she is working at my company. It wasn't that I didn’t want her to work, I did, in fact I was happy about the idea. I wanted her to have everything she wanted, everything she deserved. I wanted to be her support system but I could not shake the guilt that was eating me up inside. I knew she was doing this because of my mother's visit, she wanted to prove herself to my mother and she did not need to. I love her for who she is and I don't want anything to happen to her or the baby but Bianca could be stubborn at times. All day I kept telling myself that it was a goo
Bianca’s POV I stared at Hayes not believing he was offering me such an opportunity. “Yes.” I said, feeling excited. I was just happy that I would be able to do something.I hate being idle. The fact that I could be able to contribute to something made me feel giddy. I watched as Hayes eyes, which were one filled with worry trin I to joy. “I am happy you are excited.” He said. Planting a soft kiss on my forehead.“I will call the director of HR tomorrow and we can start.” He said.“Wait, why would you call the director and the HR?” I asked.When he said I could work at his office I thought he would give me an opportunity to prove I am qualified to work at his office.I did not want any position to be handed down to me.“Hayes, you can't just give me a job because I am with you. I need to earn it. I need to prove that I am more than just your fiancée. I want to be treated like I belong, not just because of who I’m fucking." I said.“Well that was very vulgar.” Hayes said looking at
Hayes POV I sighed heavily as I pushed open the front door. It Been a very busy week. With trying to close pending business delays to Ginny's situation lurking in my mind.The only time I felt less stressed was when I got back home, to the comfort of my woman. Binaca. I missed her so much h, she was like a stress reliever anytime I think of her or see her I immediately feel stress-freeBut today was way more stressful than others with constant meetings and calls, I did not have a single moment all day to check on Bianca. But most importantly she did not call me, sheught be angry, with her hormones all over the place in her first trimester, it was completely understandable.I glanced at the box of chocolate in my hands and smiled. I knew this was definitely going to make me feel better if she was angry. I did not check up on her all day.I walked into the living room, expecting Bianca to be at her regular position, either sitting on the couch watching a series or reading a book, bu
Bianca’s POV I sat curled up on the couch wearing a comfy onesies that Hayes had bought for me.Hayes had resumed work, I still found it touching that he took a break from work to take care of me.With each passing day, I find myself falling deeper in love with him.He completely had my heart. Just the thought of him made me feel giddy.I always looked forward to his return from work.It has been a quiet few days as Hayes had gone out on a business trip, leaving me all alone in his mansion with strict warnings. I was not allowed to work or do anything stressful. I was stuck in the house.I picked up the TV remote and idly searched for something to watch, and a news story caught my attention. My heart dropped to my stomach as I saw a very familiar face on TV with a headline tha had my name displayed at the bottom of the channel screen.It was Hayes' mum. And she was on a talk show, seemingly talking about me.I watched as she sat across the news anchors her lips pressed into a thin li
