BEING THE BILLIONAIRE’S BRIDE Chapter fourteen
Damon was still a hot topic the next day, not as trendy as he was the first day, but still enough to be talked about. The trolls were still rolling in, and they were not relenting or even trying to. Tapping his pen rhythmically on the table, Damon sighed as he glanced at the clock again. He remembered telling her 11 am, but it was almost half an hour later, and she still had not shown up. Perhaps she had changed her mind and taken her bastard child somewhere else. Damon had made his lawyer draw up an official agreement, one that would protect him, his assets, and his company.What happened with Ava would not be happening again.His doorbell rang, drawing him out of his train of thought, Damon hated how stressed this issue was making him, and he could not wait to be done with it all.Trudging lazily to the door, Damon swung it open and was greeted by her scent first, vanilla, with a hint of coconut. He remembered how he had been amazed by it that first night, wondering how he never i

“So what? Does he just expect you to move in? Just like that?” Storm looked perplexed “Are you sure you heard him right?” She asked further, clearly not convinced that Damon had decided to take responsibility.“Yes, Storm I heard him right.” Rosa said rolling her eyes," I told you all I had to do was go public, these rich people hate when they are trending for the wrong reasons." “Wow.” Storm managed, pouring a glass of wine for herself and some apple juice for Rosa.“Yeah, wow,” Rosa said sarcastically. “I don't even know how I feel about all this anymore,” Rosa added, taking the glass from Storm and downing it in one gulp. Her heart sank a little when she realized she meant those words, yes she had initially wanted this but now, maybe it wasn’t all that. She had no idea how she felt if she wanted this…staying with him…she had hoped for his cooperation and nothing more, but it seemed things were getting pretty real now.“Hey,” Storm said comfortingly, taking a seat beside her on
BEING THE BILLIONAIRE’S BRIDE Chapter one
Rosa heaved a sigh of relief as the groaning man rolled off her body. His sweat dropped directly into her eyes as he struggled off her, making her squint enough to see a quirky perverted but satisfied smile plastered on his lips.She watched him wink at her, clicking his tongue as he adjusted his draws which he had pulled just below his knee, throwing his trousers on, and he was gone before she could say jack.She did not even know his name, he was yet again one of her many nightly picks, safe to say he was one of the worsts she had picked yet. Reaching for her pack of cigarettes beside the pillow, Rosa tossed a stick in between her lips, holding the duvet close to her chest to shield her naked body as she searched for her lighter on the nightstand.A satisfied sigh left her lips this time as she drew in the smoke and puffed, lulling her head back to rest on the headboard.When would it end, was all she could think about, how would she stop, why was it always the same thing, why was

The ride to the club was long, Storm had mentioned that before they left, but it was just dawning on Rosa how far it was when they were thirty minutes into the trip and still not at their destination.A gasp left her lips as Storm took a turn into Fifth Avenue and she took in the environment, they’d since left downtown and their crappy neighborhood. She knew this because she had had one or two flings with men from here, but each time she was blown away by the beauty and wealth that this place elicited.“Wow,” Rosa voiced when Storm came to a halt in front of what looked like a multimillion-dollar mansion instead of a club.“Are you sure we are at the right place?” Rosa asked jokingly, a smile plastered on her face as she took the sight in.“Best believe, here,” Storm said with a smile, handing her an access card. They walked in hand, presenting their cards at the entrance and walked in. If she had been blown away by the exterior, Rosa did not have words to describe how she felt about

Rosa giggled like a tipsy teenager, it was the most fun she had had in a long time, and with a man too. They'd gotten to know each other over cocktails and sweaty bodies on the dance floor.And now as they sat sipping wine in his living room, his shirt three buttons down and his arms flexing seductively under his sleeves as he sipped from his glass, Rosa could not help but feel even more attracted to him.Unlike other men she had met in the past, he was not eager to be with her, sexually that is. His eyes did not look at her with lust, they gazed upon her like one would at their favorite thing. He seemed to genuinely enjoy her company, and it made her have mixed feelings.Was he that interested in the conversation and her company, or was he just not attracted to her enough to want to sleep with her? Or perhaps all he needed was a prompt, a little push in the direction.Their eyes met and Rosa knew it was the perfect moment, casting him her most sultry look, Rosa watched as he melted
BEING THE BILLIONAIRE’S BRIDE Chapter four
Rosa was gone first thing the next morning, she'd spent a good three minutes staring at his sleeping form on the couch as the sun rays cast a beautiful glow on his skin, giving it a rich golden look. Her fingers itched to brush off the hair that framed his face as he lay collapsed, but she'd chastised herself lest she woke him up.It's always awkward when the man wakes up to the girl leaving, she'd noted that in the movies, and maybe it had happened to her once…or twice.She'd gathered her things that were scattered around the living room, hurriedly throwing on her clothes she'd dropped a sweet little note saying she had a great night and dashed out. As she sat in the back of the cab, Rosa reminisced on the experience and smiled, reminding herself that this was the first and last time she would feel this or even think about it. Rolling down the window, Rosa let the cool morning air hit her face, willing her eyes closed as he once again flooded her memories.The way he had effortles

Rosa stared at her reflection on the door in front of her, instinctively brushing her fingers through her hair when she noticed its slightly messy state.She had been sitting there for the past few minutes waiting for her turn, but it seemed like a lifetime already. Glancing at her wristwatch, she wondered why Storm was not here yet, she had said she was on her way. There was no way she was going to do this alone.Hugging herself slightly and rubbing off the goosebumps on her naked arms, Rosa prayed herself to sit still, even though She knew she could not help the anxiety that racked through her body.Regretting why she had opted for the sleeveless shirt instead of a sweatshirt. But she could not blame herself still, the anxiety had eaten her up whole right from home, right from the day she had marked Tuesday on the calendar on her desk with a dark green Sharpie. Tapping her feet slowly on the floor, she fidgeted nervously, a bad habit but one that helped her through her now freque
BEING THE BILLIONAIRE’S BRIDE Chapter six
Rosa had spent the night tossing and turning in bed, her pillow tightly tucked beside her and her blanket wrapped like a second skin. Desperate for a cigar and some shots to clear her head but equal parts afraid of causing any harm to the unborn child who was growing in her, oblivious of the pain and uncertainty it had brought to her life.But she was too scared to light a cigarette, too scared to take that much-needed shot of tequila, which was ironic seeing as she had made up her mind to terminate the pregnancy the very next day.The following morning, as she stood in front of the mirror adjusting her dress her reflection was a far cry from what she was used to seeing. Bracing herself for whatever was lying ahead, Rosa got set for the hospital. She had been lucky there was an open spot at the clinic for the doctor to fit her in, dabbing her cheeks with a dusting of blush, something to bring back a little life to her face, Rosa was set to leave.The hospital had its distinctive sme

“Rosa, what the fuck!!” Storm yelled, immediately Rosa got in the house, she seemed as if she had been waiting for her to come back to get that off her chest.“Easy tiger,” Rosa said nonchalantly, hanging up her coat and walking into the house.“What the fuck was that? That could ruin him, and Walter's tech company as a whole." Storm whines, a genuinely concerned look on her face.“Look storm I told you I was going to go public did I not? I just did what I said I was going to do.” Rosa said with a shrug, walking into the bathroom to freshen up. “I don't think this is right Rosa,” Storm said, following her to the door of the bathroom. “I think you should take it down, take the video down, say it was a mistake or something.” Storm insisted.“Maybe it isn't right, it doesn't have to be right. I never said it was and no, I'm not taking that video down.” Rosa said, taking a face wipe and stripping her skin of sweat and concealer.She did not look up from her reflection, but she felt Storm

Damon went back to stirring his pasta sauce, turning the heat a little back up before pouring the pasta into the pan. Smiling at his amazing creation, he let the pasta in the sauce for a few more minutes, while he cleaned up the kitchen. He'd hoped to spend the weekend doing his favorite things and just basking in the peace while enjoying the amazing view from his penthouse which oversaw the city, until Rosa had disrupted that for him.His phone pinged with a notification, he had dropped it on the island not planning on indulging himself with it, Part of his weekend routine was devoting more time to himself and less to work and social media. Damon knew that his phone going off with messages could only mean one thing…work. And he wasn't ready to deal. Dishing his meal onto a plate and pouring a glass of wine, Damon settled in front of the television to enjoy his meal, still ignoring his phone which continued to ping seeming to be flooding with messages all of a sudden.Damon moaned

The next day was a Saturday, weekend, and Rosa knew exactly where to find him…In his penthouse, she remembered he had mentioned how he liked staying indoors during the weekend.As she got ready in front of the mirror, all Rosa could think was how she would not give him the satisfaction of disrespecting her and indirectly labeling her a gold digger, which she kind of was but still.“You know you don't have to do this, right?” Storm, who had been watching her all along, asked.“Why not?” Rosa asked a questioning look on her face, sometimes it was hard for her to understand her best friend. “The money he sent last night, Rosa, that was a lot,” Storm said emphasizing the last part of that sentence.“So?” Rosa asked indignantly, not seeming to see or understand what her friend was seeing.“So? It's enough to take care of you and the unborn baby, heck, you can just get rid of it like you initially wanted to and make good with that amount.” Storm advised. “And let him win? Let him have the

Damon could still feel his heart thump in his chest, the anger still raged in his veins, and he tried to control it. How dare she?It was one thing for her to come to him for help but pinning her bastard on him was outrageous. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought her capable of such.When they had first encountered, and she had no idea of him, even when he told her his name, he had been happy, elated even.Rosa was one of the few who had no idea who he was, and that to him just went to show a lot. And now she had gone out, did some research, and was back with a pregnancy, who knows if she truly was pregnant, she could be faking. To think she had even snuck out on him after a very passionate night. She was the first person after his wife who had made him feel something, he had no idea what it was, but it was something, and she had run away the very next morning before dawn. He remembered searching for her, typing her name into search engines on social media, and coming u

Damon recognized Rosa the moment he saw her, she was still as beautiful as ever. Though she had bags under her eyes like she had not slept for days, she still exuded the same sexiness as she had that night.“Stop.” It was all he said to the driver, who seemed confused and waited for the car to come to a stop before he stepped out. “Rosalina?” It came out more as a question, she looked tired now that he was closer and could see her in. “What are you doing here?”“I needed to see you urgently, it's important,” Rosa said, for some weird reason, she could not hold his gaze.“Are you alright?” Damon asked concerned.“I don't know how else to say this, Damon, but I'm pregnant,” Rosa said the pause that followed was loud, too loud. A look of confusion crossed his face but was soon replaced by shock and then confused again.“Okay, uhm...pregnancy is quite normal Rosa, what do you need? Some help? Money? Who's the father? Have you talked to him about it?” He asked in one breath.Silence fell
BEING THE BILLIONAIRE’S BRIDE Chapter eight
Storm's apartment was beautiful, a more modern, more organized version of Rosa's own. Painted with a beautiful beige color, with splashes of brown and green colored furniture and art pieces, giving the house an earthy vibrancy. A more modern bedroom, a vintage bathroom, and a vintage styled kitchen. Rosa always envied how clean and beautiful the place always was.It was not her first time visiting, so Rosa knew her way around and was settled in, immediately getting down to the business on Storm's computer.She had to find out about Damon’s workplace, Walter tech had many branches across the country and two headquarters in New York.Rosa had to track down the exact one where he would be the next day, his schedule, and if possible, make an appointment to see him.The next morning Rosa was up early, she wanted to not just see him but also look her best. She wanted him to be just as smitten by her as he wanted that night.Throwing on a beautiful black dress that wasn’t formal but not too

The next day moved by like a breeze, with Rosa finally able to accept and adjust to all the new feelings.Work was less hectic and Storm had dropped by at lunch to say hi and get her usual, but not without flirting with Ben, Rosa's co-worker.Rosa filled her in on what she had planned, which was simply to get her story straight, wait until she was a few months into the pregnancy with a sizable bump, and then go to Damon.“No that's crazy, what happened to telling him now?” Storm asked. “What difference does it make?” “Because then, with a bump it would feel and seem more real,” Rosa explained. “Right now I would just look like a desperate one-night stand who wants any excuse to jump at her rich, hot one-time sex partner.” “Well, I think now is the best time. Because what if he denies it? What if he decides not to take responsibility? Then what?" Rosa knew Storm was being reasonable and looking out for her well-being but what Storm did not know was that she had her agenda, she had
