An Heir for the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 57: An Intruder in the Night
Sharon woke with a start about two hours later sure that something had woken her. She was cold and the darkness frightened her as she lay, her ears straining against the silence. The fire had gone out, the room chilled again.She heard footsteps outside the front door. Footsteps muffled by the snow. She swallowed,unable to move, her heart pounding loudly in her ears. There was someone outside.She couldn't see but she could hear the slight creaking of the door handle as it was being turned. Had she locked it? She couldn't remember bit she must have done it because the door couldn't open and she let out her breath on a long high - pitched sigh.She sat up trying to pull herself together. She didn't want to be lying on the couch if there was an intruder outside. She felt vulnerable,weak and nervous and she nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the banging on the door.'Who is it? she shouted shakily.'Bryan, let me in'.Laughing with relief, she ran to the door and opened the doo

Sharon was frightened of the threat she heard in his voice that her eyes flew open and the warm contentment she felt.'Bryan.....' frightened, she gazed up into his unreadable face.'Tell me about Gerhard Alexandria ', he demanded grimly.'No, I won't ', she stood up feeling too vulnerable with him towering over her. But as she tried to move away, he caught her shoulders, his fingers bitting into her flesh as he turned her to face him. 'I want to know' he said angrily, shaking her slightly.'It's none of your damned business', she retorted, hating him for his strength, unable to understand his obsession with a dead man.'You were seeing him behind my back. I'd say that made it my business, wouldn't you?' his eyes were hot, burning with rage. 'God knows I could kill you for what you did'.'It didn't bother you for three years', Sharon said bitterly, twisting her body in an effort to free herself. 'So why now?''You married him', Bryan said through his teeth. 'You were his wife'.'I wou

Sharon felt a huge relief that it had only been a nightmare.'You ate safe now', Bryan's eyes were smiling, his long fingers moving along her palm.Sharon nodded, turning her face away, embarrassed by the tenderness of the mood between them.'You look like a little girl when you are asleep', he said looking at her averted profile.Her head swung round in shock. He had been watching her sleeping. She felt vulnerable, disturbed by the knowledge. She looked into his black eyes and her stomach lurched.'Who was that woman at the party? she asked in a small voice.'What woman?' His smile was indulgent.'The one in the yellow dress', she didn't know what had brought it to her mind. A truthful answer would probably hurt her and of course it was none of her business.'Ah, that was Annabelle Cole', he said it as though he was amused by her question.The name rang a bell immediately. Annabelle Cole had been in Bryan's car at the time of the Accident. 'Is she your lover?' Her own brazen courage

'Don't....' She whispered as he pulled the pins from her hair, so that it fell loose around her shoulders.He looked at her, his face all shadowed angles in the candle light, his eyes black, glittering.'It's as though we've never been apart', he said quietly, threading his fingers through the loose silk of her hair feeling the texture, the shining thickness against her skin. 'Three years is a hell of a lot time to wait'.Holding herself rigid, Sharon abandoned her pride and whispered, 'Please Bryan, let me go'.He shook his head. 'I can't', he said thickly. 'I have to know what Gerhard taught you'.He be t, his mouth against her throat, kissing her skin tenderly, unhurriedly. She shuddered at his touch, desire racing through her body, heating her blood. She wanted to push him away but she couldn't move, couldn't protest.Bryan raised his head, staring into her eyes as his hands began unbuttoning the cashmere dress. She felt the sensual brush of his fingers against her bare skin, movi

Five weeks later, Sharon realised that she was pregnant. She woke one morning with a feeling of nausea in her stomach. She climbed out of bed wondering if it was something she could have eaten at dinner with Oliver the night before.. In the kitchen, she spooned coffee into the percolator and switched it on and as the fragrant smell of the beans filled the room, she knew she was going to be sick. She staggered dizzily into the washroom and vomited into the basin. She seemed to lean for ages against the cool tiles retching violently but the sickness and dizziness finally subsided and she splashed her face with cold water.Back in the kitchen, she switched off the percolator, unable to face the thought of coffee and mentally went through what she had eaten the previous night.She and Oliver had dinned very late after a particularly long day at the office. Sharon had chosen cold dick and salad, followed by fresh raspberry tart. She hadn't eaten much at all, Her appetite was small these da

She picked a comb and pulled it through her hair. It was so hopeless, she felt like crying again and she longed for the comfort of Bryan's arms, she wished she could lean on his powerful shoulders and tap from his strength. And the worst thing was that if he it in contact with him, she would get that comfort, that strength to lean on. He had offered tenderness the night they had been together, albeit after he had forced her to submit without reserve. She didn't understand why but it had always been that way between them.It would be so easy to submit. So easy and pleasurable. A tiny voice forced itself into her consciousness. Bryan wanted her now but how long would it last? Especially now that she was pregnant again? Six months? A year maybe? And that was being optimistic. If she allowed their affair to continue, wouldn't she be hurt all over again? And would she have the strength to recover a second time?She groaned, covering her face with her hands. Was she such a fool that she wa

Gabriel drove her back to the flat in silence. She was panic strike. Not knowing what she would do next, not knowing how she was going to cope. She had a feeling that Gabriel was angry though he had not said anything yet but she felt that his anger was justified. She had a daughter she had not told about her father and he has been the one restricting his movements to care for her and stand as a father figure to her and here she had gone and got herself pregnant again out of wedlock and she expected him to be happy with her and possibly applaud her?How could she allow herself fall into the same hole twice? It has always been said one e beaten, twice shy bit hers was not that way.

Sharon remembered how things were between Gabriel and Rebecca and but her tongue. She had been tactless.'It was an unfair question'. Sharon hated herself for her tactlessness her selfishness. 'I'm sorry'.Gabriel shrugged. 'It doesn't matter, honestly, it doesn't. Besides, you know damn well that it is irrelevant'.'Yes', She couldn't fool Gabriel. He knew her too well. 'But I don't think Bryan would want to be saddled with a child'.'You don't know that's. Gabriel was being maddening reasonable.'I do', She heard her voice breaking, giving her away.'You still love him', Oliver said flatly. Sharon didn't answer. There was nothing to say.Gabriel left soon after and she paced the flat, trying to get things into perspective. To find herself pregnant was a shock. It seemed extraordinary that she had conceived so easily both times she had spent a night with Bryan. But beneath the anxiety and the worry about the future, she felt a tiny, unexpected dart if happiness. Of she was honest, sh

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

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.
