I pressed my ear closer to the door, but my baby bump didn't allow me to go any further. They were discussing something in there and I must hear."You lied to me," Eros said and I was surprised at the amount of playfulness in his voice. He wasn't angry with her."I had to! The way you were looking at me… I didn't want my composure to fall, you know." Bethany justified herself.I heard Eros sigh. "Fine. But is it true? And where have you been? I haven't been seeing you lately. There has been a lot going on and you were nowhere to be found."I raised my fist, imagining the door was Eros' face. What was that cliche line? I pressed harder. Are they having sex under the pretext of friendship?"You have a wife now. And we aren't exactly on speaking terms. You allowed her friend to plan your wedding?? I am a bit disappointed in you, Eros. If not for the fact that I have been with you for over twenty years, I would haveRelated chapters

Eros' POV We were seated in comfortable silence, watching a silly show when the doorbell rang. I ransacked my brain, thinking of who I was expecting. No one came to mind. I glanced at Dalia who was eating peanuts. The last time I asked her to keep those damn peanuts, she had snapped at me, asking me to mind my own business. She was already shaking her head. Seemed like she wasn't expecting anyone today. It was the weekend. Last weekend we will have to ourselves before work starts. Part of me admired how strong Dalia carried herself. If her protruding stomach was evident enough, I would have thought she was just acting pregnant. The other part dreaded her simple glares and sharp words. It has become worse over the week. She needed no one's help but I saw how grateful she was when the nurse attended to her. She was truly magnificent. Even when she was silent, her face showed curiosity like she was trying to read the meaning i

Eros' POV "Of course I am!" Her bubbly laughter filled the air and I subtly breathed out a sigh of relief. I should end this conversation before it turns into something I wouldn't like. "I will have the maids prepare you something." Betty gasped. She would want to know about the woman who cleans my house every week. "Oh, you have maids now? What about the other woman who cleans the house three times a week?" I sighed, wanting to leave the kitchen. "That is her duty." I opened the door expecting to see Dalia but she was not there. I found her in the same position we left her, chewing peanuts. There was no way I could have heard wrong. She definitely scoffed. I eyed her suspiciously, expecting her vicious glares and cursing under her breath. There was nothing like that. If anything, she pretended like we weren't there. I had just instructed the chef to make Betty her favorite dish when Dalia announced she was

"Calm down, Dalia!" My inner self screamed. What if Eros walked in to see me like this? I was acting like a jealous wife. I wasn't his wife in the first place. Forget all about the wedding shenanigans. We weren't a real couple. Eros is kind of causing me pain and he was quite aware of it. A real pain in the ass. I shut the fridge, almost dropping the water bottle at the sight of Betty leaning on the counter. She startled me. I rather ignore her. She isn't worthy of my words. "I see you are feeding well.You gold digger. I am sure you planned such a sick incident so that you would care for you." Betty started with an evil smirk on her face. The fact that she is here made me wonder where Eros was in the first place. I peeped out of the kitchen. From my angle, I found Eros asleep on the couch. No wonder she is here…There goes yoga for tonight. Betty is acting childish. I don't want her to disturb me. I opened the cap

Third person's POV Emily dropped the phone with shaky hands. She couldn't meet Hera's curious eyes. She was tempted to lash out at the poor woman but she kept her cool. "Why did you keep interrupting? I didn't want her to find out like this. What if she took it the wrong way? I could lose my best friend in the process!" It came out harsher than she had intended. Hera sighed as she rolled over to her side, placing cold hands on Emily's arm. "I wanted her to know she had someone like me in your life. I was trying to help you." Emily shrugged her off. "Well, you didn't help me. I don't want to have fights with you…" she was aware that Hera took the burden of breaking the news to Dalia. Hera quickly raised her hands in surrender. This was different from what Emily saw the times they met. She was cold and harsh but to Emily, her expression and voice softened a bit. For some reason Emily didn't know, Hera had chosen to sleep over

Dalia's POV I didn't know what to reply to my best friend. Am I happy? She should really be specific. "I am not." I finally admitted. There is one person who is making it harder for me. Bethany. "Oh, Dee.. I am so sorry. What are we going to do?" Emily sighed. "What's happening? Did Eros do something bad?" The same voice asked from the background. "Go to sleep, babe." Emily cooed in a calm voice. It was the same voice she used whenever I felt low. Just like now. "Hera?" I made a wild guess. I know she will never tell me unless I catch her in the act. I need to be less judgemental. There was a pregnant pause. "I thought I told you this night is for you alone. Talk to me. Who is making you cry? Eros?" I sniffled as I recalled the incident in the kitchen. "His best friend." "That bitch!" Emily yelled. Then I heard her mutter sorry to whoever it was. She has managed to avoid my questions again. "You know wha

Eros' povI had just snatched the coffee from Isaiah when I saw something that was beyond my control. It was Dalia.This time, she was different. Not the woman who lazed about in my mansion with a gown over her tall frame.From the transparent glass door, she majestically walked into the hallway that led to my office. She was wearing one of the latest West gowns. She must have bought a lot of it not because she loved it but to spite me.Little does she know that I love seeing my designs on her body. If it was possible, I could use her for my next model design. It was a cocktail dress meant for formal events. Her baby bump was barely visible under the tight material and I wanted to know why.What trick did she use this time?Her clean shaved legs glowed as the color of her skin marched with the brown heels on her feet. I didn't like the look of those heels pressing against her swelling ankles. Why did she have to go out of her way to please me?She was as sexy as hell!I was about to a

I beamed at her. Happy that she had the decency to be confused. She will get an earful when we get home but for now… "I am sorry my love." For added measure, I stood up, going behind her back to massage her shoulders a little.I nearly snorted because they were so stiff and when I touched them, they were rigid. I used my elbows to gently rub them until they went down. She gradually straightened her back. "I shouldn't have left you hanging. But I must say, you look ravishing."There were murmurings here and there as some of the staff agreed while the others whistled at my public display of love."Kiss, kiss, kiss!" They started chanting and I leaned over to kiss her. She tasted like a mixture of mint and coffee. I pulled back, licking my dry lips a little.Her soulful gray eyes met mine and she knew that I did that because we were both in public. I sighed. She wasn't happy.But she took her seat to my joy."Sorry about that." I apologized to the excited staff. They have seen what peopl

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
