2024-10-29 19:42:56“Good morning,” she gave me a peck, taking the seat beside me.
The side she kissed tingled and burned. What? Is this her part? What should I do? I am not one to show public affection... we should have talked about this.My siblings watched me like I was their target. They were all waiting to see my reaction. I must do what she did.So I waited until she sat down and gave her a full kiss on the lips. I tasted pineapple and mint. She must have brushed and taken breakfast.It revealed why she is late. But my parents didn’t even complain. They just stared at our display of affection with weary eyes. They should have complained of how she came in before them. I don’t like it.“What’s going on with you guys?” I asked before I could stop myself.“Eros, don’t.” Athena’s harsh voice filled the room. Her children must be fast asleep just like the rest of the children.“I just want to know..”“Can’t this family be happy?!” Hera screamed, shocking my parents. “IRelated chapters

Dalia’s POVYesterday’s night.I smiled warmly at the children who huddled closer just to hear my story. They were innocent, so innocent. I blame their parents for letting them in on their abused emotions.However they tried to hide it, it gave way into the lives of the children, hence turning them into something unbearable. I can’t say if they were pretending to like me but one thing I know for sure is that they all need help.I gave a playful glare to Freda who thought it was best to drop the scoop on the rug. It might leave a stain.“How many times have you been here?” I asked the triplets. They shrugged and Avery spoke for the group. He gave a toothy grin.“Almost no time. Grandparents hardly visit us so we come here whenever there is a family meeting. It’s kind of a big deal so we hardly miss it.”I hummed in thoughts. Then I waved what I was thinking away. I don’t think He tor and Gaia hate their grandkids. If there is one thing I’ve noticed about t

“It was a day of instabilities. I had mixed our tickets to Paris... There was a lot of commotion. Actually I am clumsy. But I do know how to control myself. I take pride in it.” I tried to defend myself. Why did I even tell little kids that I am clumsy... Jeez! Am I that desperate for their approval or something?!“We know you are,” Aiva giggled, looking at Fredrick who gave me a big smile. They know something I don’t.“How?” I was baffled. These kids knew more than they were letting on. After all, they aided me in observing their aunties and uncles. They helped me come to the conclusion that they needed help.From me.“How many times have you spilled your glass of wine?” Nicholas spoke. “We were all watching even though we pretended not to.”Wow.. blood was truly thicker than water. The children all came to an agreement unanimously, without speaking to each other.. all to tell me that I am clumsy!? I huffed. “I didn’t tell you that only to make you understand...

Third person’s povPresently...Dalia glanced at the wall clock for the fifth time. Where is everybody? She wondered why today was just like any other day.“I am the wife of a billionaire..” I flailed her legs to come out of the bedsheet entanglement. “Yet, I am..” I was about to continue in anger when a loud knock stopped her. I paused to hear if it was someone she knew.Was it Dad?“Dalia! Open this door! How can you sleep in on your wedding day!!”My eyes widened as she heard Emily’s voice. She must be so busy... “I am coming,”I rush to the front door, yanking it open. There I found Emily with an angry look. She was putting on a shirt and jean shorts. Swede slippers adorned her feet. I could see that she had newly painted her hands and legs. Her hair looked new. I sighed. “Emily? I thought we agreed..”Emily heaved. “How can a bride sleep in on her wedding.. have you forgotten our plans?! You were supposed to come out. Eros sent three vehicles to

Emily’s POVThe day after Eros’ announcement of his engagement to Dalia.As soon as I entered the van, I wasn’t going to the outskirts of New York. I had other plans.To have my revenge. The only plans I had was to travel to Italy for the invitation. I plan to take Dalia with me if she is up to it though.Sorry, I am getting out. I looked at my group who had worked tirelessly on my behalf. At the look on my face, they all sighed. Apparently, they were deceived too. “Sorry guys. It had to look real. My friend may not be bright but she sure can read someone’s mind and come to crazy conclusions.”They all sighed deeper and I chuckled. “Alright, I treat everyone to dinner after Italy. And.. I am adding an additional one month to your vacation time.” I smiled for effect. They were all annoyed with me. I know.But the news of vacation seemed to cheer them up. Lazy bums. I could make them work harder if I wanted to. No. Dalia’s wedding will be coming up soon and the

Dalia’s POV.“Are you okay?” The makeup artist asked after putting something heavy on my eyelids.I blinked hard to test it. “It’s kind of heavy. Remove it..”She immediately complied. The phone beside me beeped and vibrated. “Can you give me that?” I asked the woman and she handed the phone to me. I scrolled down my notification message. It was something from Instagram.Emily has managed to download this crazy app on my phone even when I told her not to. I clicked on the swirling pink app. Out of curiosity, I clicked to watch reels. Every video was from that night. Emily narrowed it down to me.. huh? I frowned at the comments. It was the usual.“She isn’t worth it Eros! I love you! @bestfan“Where did she come from, a wise gold digger...@wisdomwhore”“I am sure that baby isn’t Eros’”“I am pregnant for you, Eros!”The comments were endless.“I don’t think you should be looking at that on your wedding day,” The woman kindly beamed at me.

Dalia’s POVMy mouth was engulfed in a warm kiss from Eros. I didn't have the time to appreciate his handsome look. He was always handsome and ravishing to me. From the corner of my eyes, I caught Nick’s angry glare.I knew he was angry because he had walked into my dressing room a few minutes after I put on my dress. I have always asked myself how Nick managed to get into places where people aren’t allowed but now I know why.He is a dangerous man. I haven’t seen Eros’ best friend in a while and I am glad I didn’t see her around. In her own way, she has warned me to stay away from Eros and the fact that Eros is trying to use me.I know he is using me but I choose to stay. He chose me over her.But Nick.. He demanded to know why I was doing this in the presence of everybody. He slapped my hands away from whatever I wanted to pick just to distract myself from his rantings.He has become feral..I guess what I told him that night at the hotel didn’t sink in

Dalia’s POV.“Emily, what was that?” I asked while darting my eyes here and there. I will soon be whisked away by Eros. We were going to the West family mansion before going home. Three years top. That is if we don’t get fed up with each other and drop the act in 6 months. “You practically zoned out during your speech. What is it? Does Hera have something on you?”She shrugged. “She has nothing against me. I just needed her help with something and got something else instead.” Then she leaned closer and I suspected she was about to tell me a big secret. From my angle, I could see my father discussing with Eros. Half of me was rather dying to hear what they have been discussing for a long time than to listen to Emily’s big secret. “I think Hera West is going to help me get my revenge on Vanessa Dave,”Oh... that was the big secret?She pulled away, sighing when she saw my quizzical look. “I know I sound crazy right now. Even Chris doesn’t want me to go after her. Heaven is trying to sto

Emily’s Pov.If Dalia noticed, it means everyone noticed too- The way I stared at Hera West. I really want to tell Dalia my feelings but something else came out. It was better to tell her of the revenge which has been placed on hold. There isn’t going to be any revenge because the only person I could hope to get information from is tugging on my heart strings.This feeling is totally new to me. I can’t say if I like it or not. My parents were strong Catholics. They would turn in their graves when they hear of this. The disgust on Dalia’s face was enough to keep my mouth shut. Maybe it would pass away like the others. I want it to because Hera West isn’t someone to be messed around with.I balled my fist as if that would crush the feelings away. Every one of our meetings had been an awkward one. Either I spilled my drink or I nearly tripped on her. I could never tell her the main reason I looked for her because we always ended up staring at each other.“Emily, get a grip of yourself...

Accidental Baby, Falling For The Billionaire. Epilogue.
Dalia's POVThe days went by pretty fast. One afternoon, I was in the hospital, and the next, we were on our way to the West mansion. Eros didn't have to send a message like he usually did."You didn't leave the baby in the house, did you?" I asked Eros who looked better than he did a month ago. He barked out a laugh. "What? I already tucked her in."I sighed in relief. It happened sometimes because we were too preoccupied with each other. If Emily learns of this, she will take the baby from us permanently. I smiled at the thought.We were still in the first paragraph of the chapter. It was beautiful, just like I had always wanted. One time, I heard the maids discussing Betty. What she did when I wasn't around was nasty.Why would she seduce Eros? It was there that I learned that Eros had slept with her one drunken night. My heart sank at the discovery, but it was a long time ago. A long time, yet Eros hasn't said anything about it. Hold on a minute. I don't go about telling him abou

He had received the divorce papers, but they weren't signed. Good.Eros jumped at the vibration of his phone. He hoped it was good news. Then he frowned when he saw Emily plastered across the screen. He picked it up immediately. She hasn't spoken to him in a long time. He knew the reason."Dalia got into an accident. I will send you the address." She hung up and Eros panicked. He tried the number again, but it went straight to voicemail. Then the message came in. She was in Spain! He didn't mind. He would meet her anywhere. All he wanted was for her and the baby to be fine.The maids watched with hands folded as he turned the house upside down while preparing for the journey.They no longer saw Bethany Woods because they overheard Eros rejecting her during a heated moment. He said he loved Dalia and she was his wife. Betty had left with anger. Now, she has lost Eros as a friend too.***********It was a drunken mistake. Nick had swerved right into an upcoming truck. She had been lucky

It was a month until Thanksgiving. It's been two months since Dalia left the house. She didn't even take her belongings except for her phone.She had left his black card on the bed.Eros was a mess. He had gotten thinner. His eyes sank in. He was a shadow of himself. He didn't think she would take his words seriously and disappear for two months. There were no pictures, no news, nothing!His phone vibrated. It was the officer who caught the burglar months ago. Adkins. "Have you found her?""No." came his disappointing reply.It has been like that. Every call was disappointing.When Eros arrived at the office, he didn't know that all eyes were on him, watching his every mood. His staff avoided him like the plague. Not because he was angry, but because of how tired he sounded and looked."Jeez." Sara muttered under her breath. She was consoling Tracy. Her boss won't be coming to the office forever! Or so she thought. "I don't know what to do." She was thinking of calling Jeffrey, but it

The letters! Dalia mentally facepalmed. She should have kept it well. Away from Betty's hideous eyes. She thought she had them hidden.Eros' face was ashen in color and when he didn't say anything in reply, it occurred to Dalia that he already knew about it. Her heart sank deeper. She didn't think about telling him because it was nothing. Maybe when they went to the office the next-day, she would have told him about Nick. Only if he asked!A loud knock on the door pulled Dalia out of her thoughts. Eros sighed, making his way upstairs. "They are here again. Increasing by the minute all because of my foolish wife."'he called me his wife' Dalia realized with sadness. It was at that moment she knew that she fucked up. Now she has Eros in a tight spot. He may not look like it but Eros was enraged. It's just that he just apologized to her yesterday so it seemed like he was tired instead."I am sorry!" Dalia cried out. She didn't know what to say that would soothe him.Eros paused on the se

Dalia paced the room up and down. She was restless and could not place her butt somewhere. "Pick up, Emily!" She gritted out. How did it happen? Nick only grabbed her because she was about to leave! They were not doing anything like whosoever that took the picture was suggesting!Emily picked up at the third ring. "What the hell? Dalia!""Emily! What should I do? I know everyone has seen the picture. I don't think Eros should see it.""Eros should never see it. Go and see for yourself and make sure he doesn't have his phone around him."Dalia nodded, opening her door. She was down the stairs in a flash. "What should I do if he has already seen the picture?""I don't know. You love him, I don't." Emily's downcast voice dampened Dalia's spirit.Dalia could imagine her friend shrugging in helplessness. "I swear, it was a mistake!" She was still explaining to her dearest friend when she saw Eros with his phone. He wasn't looking at it but beyond it. He was looking at her. He knew about th

Dalia's POv.The next morning…I arrived just in time to see Tracy drop another letter on my desk. What is it this time around?! The letters were getting frequent! I am not in the mood for his pranks and silly antiques.I dismissed her quickly, snatching up the letter.I tore it open expecting to find cheesy lines, but I didn't see any."Come to the park by 7:00 p.m.; I have a surprise for you." Why would Eros ask me to come to the pack when he snubbed me on his way to work this morning. What surprise does he have for me? I folded the piece of paper in anger, dumping it into the trash bin.Tracy walked in with a cup of coffee. Just what I needed for my already puffy eyes. "Not in the mood? I have got just the right thing for you." She subtly eyed the dark shades sitting on my nose.I have nothing to say to her.I left work early because, I mean, who can stop me from leaving whenever I want to? Not even Eros, because I am pissed at him.The park was almost empty. It was evening, and

Dalia's POVShe was always right.My dear Emily.Why is she friends with someone as daft as me? She told me to confront Eros about Betty because she was biting more than she could chew. I have decided to take the bull by the horn today.I need to hear from his mouth whether he loves her or not. If he says he loves her, I will move out of the way, give birth to my baby, and divorce him. The baby won't have to live his life thinking he was born out of wedlock. When it comes to custody of the child, I won't allow him to get away with his misdeeds.The drive home was quiet as usual as I mused over the things Emily told me that afternoon. She expressed her anger for Betty and wished she met the bitch one more time. Her words, not mine.I entered the house to see Eros in aprons. He greeted me with a small smile, which made me confused. He has never smiled like this at me. The last time I saw him smile, only in a bigger version, was with Betty! My mood was already sour and damp."Your food m

Dalia's pOV. I found Emily later that afternoon slurping down her lunch. She had consumed two bowls already. It was noodles and boiled egg. Rosalind's Diner was an old Korean diner that specializes in homemade noodles. I almost snorted when she raised her messy face. A noodle got stuck at the side of her chin. Today she was putting on a blue belly blouse that revealed her smooth arms and palazzo jeans. From where I stood, I could see her belly button and her shaved armpit when she drank from the plate. "Eating lunch without me." Emily paused only to look at me before going back to her meal. "That's why I suggested this place." She said with mouth full. She looked wicked whenever she did that. "And I foolishly agreed with you." I turned to the woman sitting behind the counter. "A bowl of noodles and fried egg. Add extra spring onions, and chili." At the look of her confused face, I pointed at my baby bump. A look of realization clouded the form
