They were hell bent on disgracing her.Dalia could only do one thing. She placed both hands on her belly as if to shield the baby from physical abuse.“What gutter did you come out from? I can’t find anything about you online. Who are you?” A woman in red asked curiously. She didn’t join the others to lay her hand on Dalia because of Eros.She has tasted first hand of how revengeful Eros can be. Her brother told her all about it. Up till today, she can’t get her brother to tell her who it was that caused this. But this woman must be the one.She must be the one Eros West is protecting.Dalia winced as her bralet was tugged. She too was struggling but she still found a way to glare at the woman. “I am Dalia Thompson. I have always been Dalia Thompson, nothing more and nothingRelated chapters

Dalia remained where she was, watching the drama unfold. Her respect for Eros suddenly skyrocketed. She couldn’t wait for them to be alone again.Eros nodded at her simple statement. “Then you wouldn’t mind it if I tip your husband,” She doesn’t flinch, thinking Eros was done with his word play. Oh, he wasn’t done with her yet. “The underground club...”“You wouldn’t dare!” She suddenly screams in terror.Dalia frowns at the exchange. Does Eros blackmail others like this? What does he know about everyone? He must have dug up something so they wouldn’t threaten him.Smart.Eros simply shrugged. He pressed something on his phone while the chairwoman of Mondo media group watched helplessly. Tears flowed down from her eyes and Dalia wondered what the underground club was to her.A powerful woman’s tears were unsettling to Dalia.Eros moved to the next who was shivering. Not from the cold but from Eros’ hard gaze. “Ms. Zara...” he tsks in boredom as he looks a

Eros scoffed in disbelief as he watched the women run off. "I can't believe you just did that," Dalia shrugged it off as if it was nothing. She didn't spare them a glance. "You better." "Shall we?" Eros gestured to his private elevator. It was getting awkward and there was nothing he could do about it. He watched Dalia remove his suit. She stretched it over to him. "Here," She quickly said, turning away when she noticed him glaring. Where was the desire? It was gone like it was never there in the first place. What has changed? Eros sighed as he felt regret. Maybe he shouldn't invite her to his lounge. But they were already here. "Don't worry, you can leave your shoes on." He advised while dropping the suit on his chair. Dalia frowned as she removed the low heels. Her feet were killing her. "Why would I leave it on?" Her eyes scanned the luxurious room. It was spacious and its furnishings were contemporary. She hid her surp

Eros slipped his phone back to his pocket. "Yes." "I can only imagine the things she must have thought about you… you are like her fantasy! And to think she was unmarried," Dalia shuddered in disgust. "It serves her right." "That was her punishment for touching a pregnant woman. She is a mother also!" It gave Dalia unexplainable joy to see Eros getting worked up over her. He must have had to use the picture for her. It could be the only secret he knew about the woman but he used it for her alone. She hid a grateful smile. "And Zara?" "Zara is the product of someone I hate. Remember the burglar?" Eros glanced briefly at Dalia. Dalia nodded as she could never forget the man who traumatized her. She still felt the after effects of the incident. "How can I forget that man?" She asked slowly. "She is his sister. I made a thorough background check on him. The information about his sister was irrelevant at the moment but if I

Nick’s POVI knew it! I knew this was going to happen. “Hey!” I call for a waiter, quickly grabbing a glass of wine from his tray. I chugged it down. How dare he confess his respect for her to the public?! I didn’t see it coming... I was this close to persuading her...I must be crazy.Who am I deceiving? I saw it coming but I didn’t know Dalia would agree to it. I thought I was still in the game but Eros has managed to throw me out.He must be aware of what I have done. Now that he has told the public about their relationship, it makes it better for me to ruin him.Just then, I see Dalia coming out of an elevator. She had a designer suit wrapped around her shoulders. Wait a minute...that’s Eros’ suit!“Hey, Dalia,” I call sharply. She looked tired as she wrapped the suit tighter around her body. I was almost tempted to peel the suit off her body. “You look tired.” I look back at the elevator. “Where are you coming from?”Dalia eyed me up and down. “You

Dalia’s POVShe clears her throat, trying to shrug it off. “Yeah, I bumped into something.”“It wasn’t there this afternoon.” I deadpanned.“A lot of hours have passed, Nick. Here we are,” She says like I am the stupid one. “Let it go.”It looked like someone gripped her hands tightly. But if she says I should let it go, I will. I should focus on winning her over to my side and so I watch as her plump lips wrapped around the straw and suck hard.What I wouldn’t do to capture those lips with mine. My days were numbered in Manhattan and I’d need to go back to Spain soon.One of the reasons why I made sure to get into this show was to meet with potential business investors. I need them to invest in my business. It’s going to change the world.Then I met Betty. Betty was one of the most ambitious women I’ve ever met. She had a mind of her own and was unpredictable. I dislike such women. They will end up ruining your life while enriching theirs.They were

Dalia’s POVHis words go over my head.“I could give us a chance but I am engaged. It may not look like it but he is pretty serious,” I don’t know why I feel a sense of pride swelling in me.“Can we be friends?” He asked and I nodded my head without thinking twice. Aren’t we friends? I know I haven’t been the best of friends but...Someone save me from this conversation. I need to get out fast! Emily, Where are you?! “We are already friends. Now we have made it official, I don’t think it would be suspicious if anyone sees us together. I could just introduce you as my brother. Emily’s brother.” I add to make him stop his ramblings about love and what not.He gives me a quick smile. “They wouldn’t be suspicious if we were together.” Finally, he will let me be. “Excuse me,” He says, looking over his back. Just then, I see Emily chatting with Chris while making her way towards the elevators. The man and women from earlier this afternoon, held her clothes, shoes

She handed me a glass of wine. “Here. They should be here any moment from now.”“What? Who?” I say, collecting the fragile glass from her hands. We have both changed into our nighties and were lazily relaxing on a recliner positioned at the balcony. We could see the bustling of the streets from here.The view was epic as the stars littered the night sky.She sat down. “I was talking about the massage crew. They should be here in no time.” She glanced worriedly at my stiff shoulders and legs. “You look like you need it.”“I really do. Eros offered but I rejected it. We had a made out session.” I pouted at Emily. “I was nearly disgraced!” I didn’t want to go into much details because of how tired she looked. If she asked, I wouldn’t be able to resist letting her know of those women who felt they were better than me.She sat up quickly. “A made out session?” She squealed in excitement. I guess she didn’t hear the last part of my statement. “Squeeze out the juice, ho

Dalia’s POV“Wake the hell up Dalia! You are famous!” Emily screamed from the other side of the bed.No, no, no.. I need to sleep. But her excited screams wouldn’t let me. I buried my head further into the pillow. I don’t care if I am famous. I just need three more minutes of sleep.Her hands found the television remote, raising up the volume. It nearly deafens me. “You are on the entertainment news! Alongside West Inc. In cooperation with MELT’s new product. They call it Manhattan’s Peak!” She said dreamily and I was forced to peek out of the layers of blanket. “It says we can place an order to get it. I’ll be the first!” She continued mumbling to herself and I heard shuffling in the background.“What is Manhattan's peak? What headline?” I managed to see her desperately digging into her handbag. Then I glared at the television with all my might. It was the cause of this. No matter what, I won’t be able to get back to sleep. At the sight of myself and Manhattan’s Pea

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.

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
