An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 42: Seeing Him Again (2)
Sharon could not wait to get home and be rid of Bryan. She was too conscious of his presence and she was scared of him meeting her daughter and drawing the right conclusions.She could feel Bryan's eyes on her, intent, staring, there was only a few inches between them in the close confines of the taxi and the air seemed heavy with tension. She looked down at her hands, they were trembling, her knuckles white and she hurriedly pushed them into the pickets of her thick coat as she tried to cope with the situation she found herself in.She still felt shocked, incredulous that she was sitting in this taxi with him.'You haven't changed at all', he broke the silence, his voice low and slightly husky.Sharon lifted her face, a frown pleating her pale face. 'Of course I have. Two years and a few months is a lifetime!' she did not want to add, nurturing a baby and nursing a dying man to the assemble.'I know', he said. He gave no emphasis to the words, no expression but the words were loaded

Sharon listened to him, refusing to utter any word but fiddled with the gold bangle on her wrists trying to work out the answer to the question he had previously asked about why she was afraid of him before giving her a lecture on running from situations. What did he know about running from situations? She could have aborted her pregnancy and not take responsibility for it and wiped off the evidence of the reckless night she had had with him in Rome. She could have remained adamant about not wanting to marry Gerhard and some other situations he knew nothing about.But about the reason she was scared of him, The very sight of him made her heart beat violently, that was frightening enough. He seemed so untouched as though he had forgotten that they had ever been lovers, as though she was a stranger.'David told us that you have accepted the invitation to the party'.Sharon nodded. She wished now that she hadn't and it showed in her eyes. She could not have imagined how traumatic it wou

The day sped by like a rollercoaster and the day of David's party' dawned all too soon.Sharon woke that morning with a headache, a dull pain throbbing her temples.She hadn't slept well, a nervous anxiety in her stomach, keeping her tossing and turning all night, but after a shower, a cup of black coffee and two aspirins, she felt a little more human.She looked in on her child and she was still sleeping. She had not allowed her have a room of her own, so they shared the bed.She would read her bed time stories and she would listen to them till she fell asleep and then Sharon would go and do anything she had to do before returning to sleep beside her daughter.It was a miracle that her tossing and turning had not woken her child during the night. She was normally a quiet person when sleeping. No snoring and no turning.She dressed in tight demon jeans and a thick baggy pink sweater, still clutching her cup of coffee as she wondered into the lounge.It was a high ceilinged room, the w

Amanda had been very young and naive and the first time she had seen him, she had believed that she was in love with Wilson.He had been a bit older and a man of the world but that only added to the fascination and the attraction she felt towards him. As soon as he touched her, she knew that she would not be able to resist any advances he made towards her but would give in to all his demands.They had two weeks of idyllic romance before his commitments and business engagements started taking most of his time.She had been so you g and thought that she would always have him to herself and despite herself and despite knowing that he had to make time for those engagements, she found that she was jealous of the time he gave those engagements and felt neglected.She remembered the first time she had gone to his house, he had found a girl there together Wilson's sister.Though Wilson's sister had been surprised, the other girl who she later learnt was called Jess was openly hostile towards

As Amanda shook her head to indicate to Wilson that Jack was not her lover, which was in answer to the question he had asked, since her tears would not allow her utter a word, Wilson groaned deep in his throat. She heard that groan and shuddered. Then his mouth was on hers, hard, erotic and punishing as though he didn't care if he was hurting her.His hands still bruised her shoulders, the strength of his fingers possessive and ruthless but Amanda's response was as violent and overwhelming as the blind anger that drove him.Her lips moved under his, gentle and pleading with desire. She felt the quickening if his heart beneath her shocked fingers and wanted him, loved him too much to protest at his furious behaviour.As the kiss deepened, her hands slid up to his wife shoulders to tangle in the darkness of his hair, stroking greedily.Wilson shuddered, his anger dissolving in raw uncontrolled hunger.His own hands left her shoulders and pulled her body against his, both arms around her.

Jack had been ecstatic that she was in America. His college was in San Diego and it was just a short plane ride from there to Los Angeles.He would turn up at the apartment her new boss had rented for her especially at the weekend and with gentle and persistent persuasion ask her to have dinner with him. She could not refuse. She had no excuse to offer anyway. She licked away her terrible pain, slowly learning to face the world with a facade of cool amusement that betrayed nothing of her inner pain, thoughts and feelings.Jack was good company. He helped to bring her out of herself. She did not allow him to kiss her again though. She kept him at a very safe distance, making it clear that she did not want a romantic involvement until one night, out of the blue, he proposed to her.The proposal shocked her and she turned him down as gently as she could. Her heart ached because there was no way she could not hurt him. He loved her and could not conceal it any longer and she knew what he'

After Sharon felt that she had to get away and was surprisingly helped by Gerhard, he had taken her to their home in London because he had been in London for some sort of business at the time. Because of her, he only went to Germany when necessary.Sharon had not wanted to accept his help because she already knew how he felt about her and did not want to encourage him or give him any false hope. It would not have been fair on him.She tried to speak to him about this. His mother visited once and seemed glad at the choice her son had made. Sharon felt that it was between her and Gerhard and didn't bother to correct the impression. She also felt that her son would put her right concerning their relationship.That night, she spoke to Gerhard. 'Gerhard, I am having a weird feeling that your mother thinks that we are an item. She might even be thinking that you are the father of the baby I am carrying. It is best if you put her right so that she does not get her hopes up'.Gerhard had loo

Gerhard had to go to Germany to have a series of meeting with the German bank. That was one reason he had wanted to get Sharon's answer before he left.The two days before he left, though he did not ask Sharon for the answer to his proposal, he kept looking at her hopefully but she would look away, and he would swallow the pain her continued rejection caused him.'Ensure that you do not leave until I get back', was his last plea to her before embarking on his trip.The day he took the flight to Germany, the weather was not too good and the plan had wanted to land somewhere till it was clearer to go on but in trying to avoid a disaster, the plane crashed.Gerhard was seriously injured and unconscious for more than twenty four hours.

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.
