An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 26: An Incredible Proposal
David stroked her rich auburn hair with a gentle hand. 'I asked myself those same questions when I had that crash and killed Elizabeth. I would have given my life to save hers, yet I was the one who killed her. It was such cruel irony. I never got an answer and still don't have one. These things happen out of the blue to anyone without rhythm or reason and it's no use complaining that they're not fair'.She was silent for a moment,then asked huskily, 'Ate you absolutely sure that there is no chance of an operation? Wouldn't it be worth taken a risk?'David shrugged, 'They've told me that there was almost no chance of them removing the tumour without killing me and I have been rushing to put my affairs in order. If I had died a few months back when they first suspected the tumour, I'd have left chaos behind me. I hadn't made proper provision about anything. My wife's death invalidated my only will and I had serious decisions to make and now I have tidied things up. One of my decision

After listening to what Sharon had to say concerning Bryan's banking prowess and his excellent choice in chosing him to take over, David couldn't still understand why she turned down his proposal and wondered if his proposal had come too late in the day.As he nodded his agreement about all she had said, he said, 'I agree, Bryan is the best candidate and all. But it was very generous of you to say so all the same. You are a very remarkable woman, Sharon. should have thought of proposing to you long ago. I wonder what your response would have been if I had?'There was a curious questioning tone in his voice, she smiled at him affectionately. 'More or less, what I just said now David. I am very fond of you and I admire you but marriage should be based on something more substantial than that'.'You are right about that of course', he said, his mouth rueful. 'That's why I never married until I met Elizabeth. It is true that I was always very busy but even so, I met enough women during th

'So are you going to have the baby and keep it?' Charles repeated when Sharon kept silent.She sighed. 'I don't know.At first when I was in shock, I did think of an abortion, but I can't quite bring myself to do it'.David listened without comment, she gave him a wry smile.'You can't escape your upbringing, can you?My father brought me up to face my own responsibility for what I have done, not just get rid of the evidence and try to walk away as if nothing happened. Abortion would be ducking out, wouldn't it?'It's your body- you are the one who has to decide. Women have abortion everyday', David said dispassionately.'Yes, I know', she said slowly. 'And I respect their reasons for coming to that decision, they have other circumstances to cope with, other backgrounds. I only know how I feel. I am the one who has to live with the consequences, whichever way I take, all because I was stupid and reckless for just one night and went to bed with Bryan'.'You see the baby as a punishment y

A few days before Christmas and a day after the office Christmas party, Bryan returned from Australia.The office was virtually empty. A lot of the staff had gone for Christmas shopping. Alot of them were going either singly or in groups to sunnier places like Florida, the Caribbean and Sharon was leaving with David for Vienna, the next day.Sharon was trying to clear her table of the files there. The phones kept ringing and she had to answer them at the same time since she was the only person in the office and it was not making the work easy at all. David had gone to see a specialist in Harley Street with whom she had an appointment. It was his first appointment with the therapist and he was very nervous about it.When the door opened, Sharon turned towards it unsuspectingly, thinking that it was David come back early from his appointment. Then her heart thud as she looked into Bryan's eyes.'Hello, how are you?' he said strolling into her office and allowing the door to shit behind

Bryan was breathing heavily. He could not take what he had just heard. It would seem that the girl had gone ahead and done what he had asked her not to do before he left for Australia.He remembered he had told her not to marry David before he got back else he was going to make sure that she regretted it.'You are going away with David for Christmas', he said in what still seemed like a calm cool voice.'Yes', she almost yelled, then closed her mouth on the rage mounting inside her. Who was he to judge her this way? She was not going to allow him get to her. Not again. But she could not sit still, she was too restless. She got up, gathered some folders and walked to the filing cabinet in the other side of the room to put them in it but it was a mistake because his black eyes followed her and observed her every step, lingering on her freshly brushes auburn hair, the silt white shirt which clung to her breasts, the straight white jersey skirt which was a little too tight and emphasized

Sharon really did have a great time in Vienna but her thoughts had been haunted with erotic thoughts of Bryan.She felt that she might never be truely free form him. He had possessed her body and soul.After Christmas, as she was flying back with David, she felt her stomach cramp with the thought of seeing Bryan again. Not only had her holiday been haunted with erotic thoughts of Bryan but his threat, the memory of the threat in his face and his voice the day before she and David had left London for Vienna.She should have told him that she had no intention of marrying David but when his black eyes had blazed down at him with that look of contempt, she had wanted to hit him back somehow, anyhow. If he wanted to believe that she was pursuing David, let him! she thought which was very stupid.She had known that, a few minutes later but had been too proud to go after him and tell him the truth. Would he have listened anyway? Probably not.Her mood shifted again as she looked out the wind

Next morning, Nancy drove up to see her parents and take them their Christmas presents. She did not tell them that she was going to have a baby and so far, there was nothing to betray that fact.Nevertheless, her mother picked up on her weariness and have her an anxious look.'Your holiday in Vienna does not seem to have done you much good. You look very pale, dear'. 'I'm fine, just tired after the long drive here'.Her father gave a disapproving grunt. 'You travel too much - we keep getting those post cards from you. Rome, one minute, then you are in Germany, now Australia... it's a wonder you don't get giddy, flying round the world like that all the time. You will be thirty before you know it and still not married yet. And never will be if you continue on your travels this way. This boss of yours, is he a married man? What does his wife think of him going away with you all the time?''His wife was killed in a car crash, Dad's, her mother murmured uneasily. 'You remember our Sharon

Her dreams were feverish, troubled, she was perspiring heavily, her temperature must have broken and she was hallucinating. At one point, she felt that Bryan was there, touching her, taking her nightdress off, she moaned in protest, so hot that it was as of she was on fire. He wiped her sweating face with a cool, damp sponge and she sighed gratefully.Gn his hands gently began to stroke her body, sponging her breasts, her flat belly, her thighs, another sort of heat began to burn in her and she groaned, putting her hand out, closing her fingers round his, holding his hands between her thighs.'Byran', she whispered shuddering and heard his sharp intake of breath.For a second, neither of them moved and then he moved her hand aside without a word, began to pay her skin dry softly. The heat in her subsided. She felt cooler, her head clearer. Bryan whispered 'Go back to sleep now'.But she was asleep or dreaming? she thought dazedly be ause it was so real, the desire had been so piercing

Sharon called Gabriel to know where he was and he told her that he was in her house getting the food.'Get enough brooth as well. Bryan has woken from the coma and would soon ask for food and the best thing for him at the moment is brooth or something liquid'.'What did you say? Did you say that Bryan is alive, as in woken from his coma?' he asked incredulously.'That is what I said and I am very happy. Hurry up and get here and I shall tell you all the juicy details'.Next, she called David.'Devon was here and boasted if how she had succeeded in killing Deborah. Was she really able to take her from under your care?''Of course not. She was here but though she threatened me and some others with both a knife and gun, before she could even see my goddaughter, she was surrounded and ran off. That must be when she came to the hospital to threaten you too. But how did it go over there? She definitely did not succeed for you to sound so confident'.'Bryan is awake. You can bring Deborah and
An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 102: Devon Visits Again (2)
Devon got a hold of some good clothes and dressed herself respectably with sun shades and went into the hospital and asked the receptionist where Bryan's wards was. She did well to shed a few years and with her handkerchief,dappled her face as though cleaning the tears from her eyes.The receptionist had heard of the man and the misfortune that had befallen him, so she felt pity for the beautiful lady and gave her directions and Devon was very profuse in her thanks.Sharon had received a call earlier by her servants of Devon's visit and she thanked her stars that she had taken the right measures to protect her child especially when she heard the threats the servants suffered and how they had to lie to mislead Devon.'Let her go in search of us in Serville, the stupid girl', Sharon said and thanked them for their loyalty.She was shocked to see a lady come into the ward just as the doctors stepped out.She looked so different that Sharon did not recognize her at first. But that was unt
An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 101 : Devon Visits Again
Devon went to Bryan's house and after careful survey, found out that both wife and children were not in the house. She came out fully to confront the servants whose loyalty was admirable. 'They travelled to Serville', they told her when they could no longer keep from speaking to her about their mistress and her daughter.'How can they go to Serville when Bryan is dying in the hospital?' she asked not believing a word they said. 'That was what we were told and who are we to doubt our mistress?'. She had threatened them with a knife and with the way her eyes were glinting, they were sure they were facing their eminent death but she changed her mind and left and when they spied from the window and saw that she had really gone, they heaved a sign of relief.The next thing they did was to call their mistress to intimate her that her premonition that Miss Devon was going to come to the house had been right and all that had transpired.Devon thought hard and decided to look in on David bef
An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 100: A Fight for Dear Life (2)
When they got to the hospital, Sharon could not wait anymore. She was overtaken by an impatience brought on by desperation.She asked for directions to Bryan's ward and was shown the way to the place.As soon as she saw Bryan and with the cast on his neck, extending to his shoulders, she broke down in tears. Bryan was very pale and looked like he was not breathing and then there was this quinzy breath as though something was stuck in his respiratory system. He looked far worse than she had expected.She fell on her knees beside his bed weeping. Gabriel cautioned her to take it easy before she injured herself and the baby. She was inconsolable.'What will I do Gabriel? What if he does not survive this? Can you see the magnitude of the wound?'Gabriel nodded and though he was sceptical, he still offered words of consolation. 'You do not know that, do you? Someone the doctors have written off had eventually come to life or had you not heard of such scenarios?'Sharon had. David was a cas

Sharon could not believe what she had just heard.'What are you talking about doctor? That Devon escaped and she is on her way to this place as we speak and that she did what toy husband?''Ma'am, I'm sorry but you see we are really occupied and very busy at the moment. I just took the time to get in contact with you because I felt that you should know'.'What happened to my husband dammit!' she yelled panicking. If Bryan was fighting for his life, then who was going to love and protect them from the devilish Devon?'The doctor kept silent. He understood that she was speaking out of fright but he still did not take kindly to swearing especially by women.Sharon realised that whatever be the problem, it couldn't have been the doctor's fault and she should not let loose her frustrations on him. If she wanted to get more details, then she had to be more civil irrespective of her feelings and disposition.'I am sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you that way but you see, I am pregnant and a
An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 98: Fatal Accident
Bryan got to the office and quickly got started with the work that had piled up for him. He normally didn't allow work to pile this way because he was really very diligent with his work but the past few days had been hectic, with him looking for his daughter and almost going insane with worry and fear.Afterwards, he went into David's office and was glad he met him because he was on his way out.'How are they now? How is Deborah coping with the situation? Hope she isn't having nightmares?' he asked anxiously. Deborah was his god daughter after all.'How did you know about the nightmares?' Bryan asked surprised at how knowledgeable he was though he did not have his own children yet.'It is just common sense. A child who goes through what she had been through will definitely have nightmares for a while till she totally forgets about the experience'.'She actually had nightmares last night and had to sleep with us because she refused to go back to her room out of fear'.' You will have
An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 97: Nightmares
Deborah refused to go back to her room that night. She was too scared and had to sleep in the large bed with her parents.In the early hours of the morning, she started thrashing the bed. 'No, no I can't come with you. You are a wicked woman. You are not my aunt. My aunt can't be as scary as you. Go. No, don't touch me....'Sharon and Bryan woke immediately and were shaking her awake.'Dint touch me. You hands are filthy'.'Deborah! Hon! Wake, you are dreaming'.She opened her eyes and saw her parents. She was confused for a moment and then the words of her parents seemed to penetrate. 'Dream... nightmare'.She hugged her mother. Then she went over to rest on her father's body.'Dad, it was horrible. I thought it was actually happening'.'It's okay, forget about it, it was just a foolish nightmare'.'It might be a nightmare, dad but it was not foolish. Not at all'.'Do you still remember the dream?' Sharon asked.'I do and it scares me'.'Well maybe if you spoke about it, it will not
An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 96: Starved Love and Intimacy
Deborah got better and every one was happy. She told of her experiences. How the aunt had playfully carried her. She had seen her at her mother's wedding and had felt that she was friend or family. She had offered to call someone to attend her but she had refused and carried her, playing with her and somehow had got her to consume some form of medicine that made her feel weak and unable to play or speak and then the aunt had carried her away to somewhere and that was all she recalled because anytime she woke she gave her something to make her fall asleep again.Sharon could just imagine. That was why there was never a sound to signify that they had been in the attic for a while.Knowing that for those five horrible days, Deborah had been starved of love and affection. Sharon and her husband showered her with so much love that she felt very happy again. Bryan did not spare his love at all. He was always with her reading to her and making her feel loved at at home again. Sharon had to

After eating the little she could, Deborah slept again. Sharon did not want to force her to eat more than she could at that stage so that she would not be sick.She ate a little herself because while watching her daughter, she realised that she was famished. She had barely eaten all through that day due to her anxiety over Deborah.She went to have her bath as Bryan came out from the study red eyed and looking very tired.She had never seen anything affect him this way and for him to show this little sign showed that he was not as composed and as confident as he wanted all to think.He really loved his daughter and it had given him quite a scare to find that it was possible for his decision to make him lose her. And he was still faced with making the right decision for all and it was eating him up.Sharon felt pity for him. It could not be that easy. It must be very burdensome on his shoulders having to choose between his own family and his half sister he had hoped to help and cure.
