My jaws dropped before I could stop it. I frantically look around as Eros’ driver stops the car at the roadside. It was practically in front of Dad’s compound. What is he doing? How did he know the way to my dad’s house?I narrow my eyes at Eros who acted like he didn’t do a background check on me to know where Dad’s house is located. “What is this?”Eros raises an eyebrow. “What is what? This is where you will stay until I am ready.”I scoff. “And here I was thinking you were taking me back to my apartment. How do you know this is the safest place for me? Did you do a background check on me? So now you are officially my stalker... Right?” I ask sarcastically. This was the only way to explain how he knows so much about me within a short period of time. A space of months. We weren’t that close.Eros shakes his head and I could tell he is amused at my conclusion. Why does everything I say sound like a joke to him? It is beginning to infuriate me.“IRelated chapters

Dalia’s POV“How did you get affiliated with West Inc.? What did you do?” I watch Dad yell in panic. I couldn’t blame him. I allowed it to happen so it is definitely my fault.“Dad relax.” I place my right hand on my chest, “You need to calm down.”“Dalia Thompson, Tell me everything right now!” He chose to spell my full name. It shows how serious the situation was with him.I take my sit on the plastic chair propped close to the wall. “It is not that bad. Remember the business trip I told you about? Paris?” I search his face for any form of recognition.Dad nods. “I remember. Was that it then? The moment you chose to sleep with him?”Huh? The red spread to my ears. “No, I didn’t choose to sleep..” he didn’t look convinced. “it just happened. We were both drunk, he didn’t use a condom. It just happened.”The grimace on my Dad’s face tells me he doesn’t want to hear the details. “Look, Dad. It disgusts me as much as it does you but it was a one time mistake. I don’t go sleeping with wh

Eros' POVI watched Dalia walk away without saying anything. If I was the one, I wouldn’t talk to me. But it’s for her own good. Betty should be arriving soon. My phone started to vibrate.Speak of the devil...“Eros! How can you leave me all alone in this house! I told you I was coming!” she shrieked like the Betty I know.What?! She’s already there? “What do you mean?”“I am in your home. Princess is soo cute. The first thing she did was to hold onto my pinkie! Eros, come home, we have a lot to talk about. Meanwhile, I am going to get myself a glass of juice.” With that, she pressed the hang up button.I look at my phone in shock, catching Sebastian’s glare. I was this close to introducing my fiancé to my best friend. It would be awkward. Very awkward, considering what has happened recently and Betty’s disturbing questions. I have a feeling she wants something real to start between us.“Sebastian, step on it. We need to get there quickly.”“Yes Boss

Eros’ POV“Speak to me,” I snap at Isaiah, coming out of my car. He was trying his best not to stammer. The fire at West wing managed to be put out. I need to know if this was just an accident or an attempt to ruin me.West wing was one of the crucial part of the West Inc. It was known as the West wing ever since 2020. Sara, the head of the stylist department then managed to come up with a fabulous idea of an angel with wings. It was her contribution that brought to the success of West Inc. Simple, yet elegant. This was because the material used to make the wings were made out of real gold, refined and made thin. It was the most expensive outfit trend of the year.Many people adopted the idea for Halloween and children’s costume. These children even forced their parents to wear it. Celebrities bought it for gala consumes over the year. I won many awards for it and gave Sara and the department the credit they deserved.It was a limited production and there was only twelve of such kind

Eros’ POVI raise my hands with the remote control, ready to increase the volume of the big screen. What they were discussing today seems intriguing. Then my eyes caught the letters written boldly at the side of the screen. Vanessa Dave. The woman my parents recommended for me and she is going to stay that way- a recommendation.“I think the production department is to be blamed and the risk management, should be investigated. My father only made simple suggestions as an engineer. Therefore, we have no direct relationship with the incident. But what I do know is Eros West should pay more attention to the people of West wing in West Inc.” She smiles at the camera and I groan in irritation. She is right. My staff will be questioned thoroughly...and fired.I intentionally avoided to ask Isaiah about the news earlier. He mentioned Nick Newton. I can’t believe he is involved in this. What did I ever do to him? I haven’t seen his picture but I have heard enough of his reputation. Just like

Eros’ POV“You don’t have to send them home.” Jeffrey whispered his displeasure as I open the door into my office.It reminds me of the time Dalia came to apologize. Those were moments I despise. It shouldn’t happen again... I decided, taking my seat and pointing at the leather chair across the table. Jeffrey took that one. I removed my suit, hung it on the coat rack and adjusted my tie. It is beginning to get hot.Very soon, I would turn on the news to find out that I have sent nearly half of my staff home. “You have your company Jeffrey. I am sure there were moments when you wished you sent your staff home. You didn’t or did you?” I asked dryly.Jeffrey tilts his head before the weight of my words sank in. Then he chuckled. “You are right.. I do send them home sometimes. But the way you handle your staff is simply amazing... Isaiah is here to help you out with the work load,” He points at the young man engrossed in his laptop behind us. “I might have to look for a

Dalia’s POV.The phone gradually slipped from my hands. I have done it again.I confessed to him! What were you thinking Dalia Thompson?...I look at the images in the screen, sighing when I see the business news talked about Eros and the entertainment news still talked about Eros. His reputation truly precedes him as I could see a video of his staff going home. So he fired all of them...?Well, someone had to take the pain in uploading the video of the unfairness to Instagram. The caption and number of views were crazy.I secretly wonder how many views it would get when it is eventually announced. My marriage with Eros.As a secret exposed...His company ratings has dropped by seven percent and although the damage seems little, it would take Eros at least a month to get the company back on its feet. All departments would be on hold for a week...Who will help him now? Instead of proffering solutions, I went ahead to confess my love to him. Who cares

Dalia’s POVI gesture to the chair across the dining table. “Thank you for coming.” I am indeed grateful Dimitri decided to come. After all he is tasked to protect me from any physical harm. Who knew what Eros was thinking while he hiring this gentle giant.Dimitri nods, taking his seat and urging me to get to the point. I have managed to ask Stephanie to take my dad for a walk. Getting him a wheelchair and forcing him to sit on it wasn’t easy but I eventually got it for him and pleaded for him to breath in fresh air. He doesn’t need to hear my conversation and Stephanie don’t have to eavesdrop. I can take care of myself. Although I do feel a little bit uncomfortable as my belly and legs increases in size everyday, I know I can do this little by writing.“I asked you to come here because I need your help. I need to know what is going on in West wing.” My notebook and pen was already placed in front of me.Dimitri nods. He seems to know why I am asking already. “You n

Dalia’s POV.“Is that him?” I point to the man on tee-shirt and grey flannel trousers. He’s like how Emily described- tall, broad shoulders and bulging stomach. Since yesterday ‘s incident, I decided to pay more attention to my friend. She was there for me when I felt lost and scared.We are both wearing matching outfits of spies, squatting behind Emily’s car. It was sleek, blue and didn’t blend well with other cars at the parking lot. Bluetanic.. For some reason, Emily choose not to stay in the car. And I tagged along.I stare at Emily from the corner of my eyes discreetly, amused by our spy outfit- she picked them of course! Few hours earlier, she emphasized on how important outfit were during this expenditure. After much trashing and ruffling, she settled for a black one piece latex jumpsuit, Red bandana wrapped around her head, the biggest sunglasses I’ve ever seen to hide her puffy eyes and blazing red lips gloss smeared over her thin lips. She should have weapons for ear rings,

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
