Billionaire Baby Daddy Chapter 17
AlexaMy teeth chattered together and I felt my brain hit the back of my skull as the bus jangled along the road. I checked Henry in his carseat to see if he was ok. If he noticed the bus’s janky movement but he didn't let on. He continued watching cocomelon on his tab. He was safe. I wondered if he knew I just took him away from the life he has always known. He was not going to have the childhood I had. I doubted he was going to remember his early years he spent in a quiet sleepy town as a toddler. If he did it would be only in flashes and fleeting feelings. I tucked him more securely into the seat, as the bus went into yet another bump.I looked out the window at the landscape I hadn't seen in four years. It was like the place wasn't touched by time in any way. The landmarks were still the same. The landscape is still taken by cornfields and dusty browns. The first time I went this direction to Vegas. I was excited and full of hope of what the city held for me. I was a young woman t

AlexaHenry and Olivia were at the table when I came down for breakfast. I had slept in and the sun was bright outside and the air warm. I looked at the wall clock. Past 12. The day was half over.“You look refreshed, much better than last night.” Olivia said.I took Henry from his seat and set him on my lap. I smiled at her and thanked her again for hosting us. She smiled and served my breakfast on a ceramic plate. Bacon, eggs and bread. I ate as I went over my to do list for the day. Henry needs a bath first, then to set him up in his room, unpack our bag and then come back to help Olivia with the house. Then worry about my finances and how to get a tech job in this office. “Have you contacted any employers yet?” Olivia interrupted my thoughts. “Uh?” I was confused about her question. All the employers I reached out to had rejected me. Olivia looks to be under the impression I had a lot of offers from multiple companies to employ me.I told her as much. “I would talk to my collea

DerrickIt's the last stage of the interviews and the team was losing hope of finding a replacement for Thomas, our resigning data scientist. This was the first time I sat down with them since the interview process began. If these were the shortlisted candidates so far there was little hope we would find a suitable person in time for Thomas to groom the new recruit before he retires. I checked the list of the candidates, there were still over twenty people we haven't gotten to yet and I was losing faith fast. I would most likely have to outsource the labor to another organization or country. I was going for lunch after the next candidate. There was no point in interviewing the other candidates if we were going to outsource our labor. Just one more I told myself. This was getting painfully boring.The redhead walked in and greeted the table around before she took the seat in front of us. There was something familiar about her. In the bounce of her hair and the curve of her nose. I felt

AlexaI couldn't believe my eyes when I got the email that notified me that I got the job. It was like all my deepest wishes had come true. I had given up hope I would ever get it since I had that horrible interview a few days ago. I spent the past days rotting on my bed. I got up to only feed Hen and spend time with him. I was utterly mortified and unconsolable. I would have spent a month on the same spot if I didn't have a child to take care of. I checked the email again and read it through. Scrolling past the bolden ‘Congratulations! You are hired” subject. My heart sank further down when I read the email. I was not hired to be a data scientist just like I suspected I wouldn't. Instead I was hired to be a secretary. Of all things. I was no more qualified to be a data scientist than I was to be a secretary. I sighed and sank back down on the chair. I knew nothing about being a secretary. I downloaded the 2nd pdf about pay and benefits ignoring the first one which was tagged for th

DerrickThe girl was not picking up her calls. I have tried calling her over and over on the landline but she didn't pick up. I wondered if she didn't know how to use a landline but I knew she did. She wasn't nearly dumb enough for that. Andrew must be giving her a tour of the building, I thought. She would be back in a few hours and went back to analyzing the different server performance. I had all of it except the report from Los Angeles. There was something electric about the girl. Her curves were decadent and the jumpsuit she wore today hugged her curves in all the right places. The tapered lines on her trouser ending at the confluence of her legs. I was getting distracted and I wrenched my attention back to the task at hand.She didn't pick her calls after an hour. I was almost done with the servers in New York. I need the report so I can finish it and get to the other tasks. I called Andrew to check if she was with him. He said she wasn't with him and he hasn't given her any tou

AlexaIt was dark when I got back home. Olivia and Hen were already in their rooms. I took off my shoes and dumped them in a corner. I went to the kitchen for a glass of water and saw a note from Olivia. She made dinner, it was in a tupperware in the fridge. I took it out and set it in the microwave. I sat down and waited for it to warm. I couldn't eat enough at the Prince’s place before Mr Johnson demanded we leave the place immediately. The rice was heavenly and the chicken simply divine. I was still angry at him for making me miss out on such nice food. I was angry that I was late to get home. When we got to the office I reminded him that I wanted to go back home, work hours were over. “Did you sign the work contract this morning?” he asked. I nodded and told him I signed it in Andrew’s office before I came to meet. “Then you know, you have to be here past work hours as long as I am here,” he went back to the thick file on his table going through it like it was the proclamation

AlexaThe door opened in a long brightly lit tunnel, Ben and Liam were behind us now. They jogged up to us, their coats making a great deal of noise in the narrow space. I asked Ben was up.“To ensure a sterile environment,” he said.“How helpful,” I retorted. I knew the entire fuss was to maintain a sterile environment and also to prevent any theft from taking place. Finally we got to a thick slab of metal door that didn't have any keypads or handles. Liam bent down and tapped some places on the door that would have been random. I didn't know it was intentional. A part of the door, just above where the normal hinges usually were, caved in. He heaved the door backwards and let us in. The room was several degrees colder than it was supposed to be in Utah this time of the year. I rubbed my arms across my sleeves but the nylon on my clothes didn't allow for heat transfer. A powerful vent was installed on the ceiling, it blew my hair and coldness on my face. I looked up and almost every

AlexaAndrew went to his office. I went to the office, I was worried I had stepped too hard on Derrick’s toes. He didn't seem to be the type to take criticism. He had to take my suggestions if he wanted the deal. He was in his office for a long time. With each passing hour my fear for my job became greater. I guess I should have been softer when making my argument earlier. I went to the rec room for a cup of coffee to pass my time. Andrew came by the office later, He had a large brown suitcase. He said a quick ‘Hi’ and ran into the office. I shook my head and smiled, Andrew was always running to meet Derrick. I opened up the email for any work to do. Nothing, all of it was already taken care of. There was nothing of note in there. All were just routine updating emails on the progress of a research or market study. I forwarded the ones that needed a look at to Derrick and replied to the more low stakes emails. That done I pulled up a game of candy crush on the laptop and smashed colour

Billionaire Baby Daddy Chapter 43
I left the office to go to Russia, partly because I wanted to shield away the temptations I was having whilst being close to my Secretary, but the increase for her only seemed to worsen, I spent both day and night thinking and reminiscing about the two of us being together, and I so wished for it to happen.I couldn’t concentrate solely on the work I had in front of me, I had managed to convince Mr. Ragnakov of how much work I’d done for him, when in reality I had done nothing.The person I was trying to shield myself from was the one that kept haunting me day and night, but I’m a good way.The past weeks I spent here were to only torture myself more as I yearned more for her now that she wasn't within my reach, she wasn't a call away like it used to be.My mind drifted off slowly to Diana, and I wondered how she was faring now. I had intentionally left my private line back at home so I wouldn't be bothered by their constant disturbance.I made a mental note to send flowers to her as

It’s been two weeks since I last set my eyes on Derrick, he informed me he was traveling a day earlier and wouldn’t know when he would be back and just like a puff of smoke, he vanished, for two weeks, without looking back, even though the office was run successfully without his presence, the office still felt void as I came here every morning.And every morning I came to the office, I hoped I would see him slouching on his chair or concentrating on his work as he always does.I hated to admit it and I didn’t even want to admit that I missed him so much. It was completely lonely and empty without him at the office, to boss people around, to make snide remarks at people, or even boss me around.Aside from Derrick, my life was completely going according to plan, I had gotten some new pieces of furniture for the new house and painted Henry’s room. I had Olivia come check out the house and she was just as excited as me and Emma.She also helped in picking out some exquisite furniture for

After Derrick left the office, I dived back into my work like no man's business.I was so intrigued by the development of building a new software that I lost track of time. When I finally looked up to check the time, I saw it was far past and Derrick hadn't gotten back to the office. He said he was just stepping out for a minute, but I was glad he wasn't here because I faced no distractions in the morning and I had done an incredible amount of work since I was alone.Since it was already lunch hour, I got up to get something to eat when I received a call from the house agent telling me he was ready for me to go see my house.Excitement washed over me and I immediately sent him my office address so we could meet outside, and we would go together to see the house, I quickly snacked on the sandwich I brought from home.I was done eating in no time and Mr. William pulled up to the front of my office and put a call across to me. Since there was no sign of Derrick yet, I took the initiative

I had reservations about Alexa’s capabilities when it came to giving her a tough job to handle, and I knew the main reason why I pitched the job to her was mainly because of the encounter I had with the Prince yesterday.It wasn’t a big task, it was a very minute task but I still had doubts in my mind.I found it funny that just yesterday the prince came into my office and brought up the idea of buying Alexa for himself. It looked to me like ages ago.The events that had taken place right after made it look like ages ago. As much as I was not willing to give her something she wouldn’t be able to handle, I did it to make her stay and not get swooned by whatever promises the Prince might have made.I would deal with Diana much later, except for the fact that my mother has been buzzing my phone nonstop since she heard the news of Diana’s accident. I wasn’t ready to deal with that just yet.Despite my hesitation about Alexa, I forwarded her the emails and everything she needed to work wit

I woke up to check my time and I saw that there was no way I wasn't going to be late for work today, going to work late was a thing, facing Derrick was another.I quickly got out of bed and rushed to Henry's room to get him ready, darting to the kitchen to make a quick fix for breakfast before heading to the bathroom to have my bath.In no time, I was ready and so also was Henry. We Bid Olivia our goodbyes and I made a quick stop at his school to drop him off. Then I headed to the office.Thankfully, Derrick wasn't in his seat and that was so unlike him. I went to the receptionist area, made a hot cup of black coffee, and headed straight to Derrick's office. Setting it down gently, I took a good look at his office, even though his office was breathtakingly beautiful, it lacked warmth. Just like Derrick himself.“What are you doing in here staring like that?” The Husky voice made me wheel myself around.The sight of him was almost a nightmare. He looked so tired and stressed out with h

I was still perturbed about what happened back at the office, I sat quietly in my room in pitch blackness wondering how she was feeling and if my actions had forever strained any relationship I might have with her in the future.I should have waited till she was ready and I wished in a corner of my mind she had accepted for me to stay over for tea but I understood that after what transpired in the office, she might be feeling a little bit uncomfortable around me.A part of me liked that I kissed her and wanted more, but a part of me also felt that wasn’t the right thing to do. I kept thinking of her, what was going on in her head, and how she reacted to my touch.Every attempt to remove her from my thinking proved abortive. I tried working but I couldn't concentrate on anything. Images of her beautiful yet innocent face kept flashing in my head and I caught myself smiling when I envisioned her face.She had even sympathized with me about Diana and I knew she felt that was the reason
Billionaire Baby Daddy Chapter 37
I heard the noises outside and rushed to the window to get a better view of what was happening. Not in a million years did I picture the image that was displayed right in front of me.My boss’s girlfriend just had a fatal accident, and I witnessed the heroic show that Derrick put into saving her life. And I wondered what could have transpired between them,They were just ogling over themselves a few minutes ago, and now she was lying helplessly in the middle of the road. I silently prayed that she wasn't dead because I was sure it would cause Derrick to be torn into pieces and my work might become more insufferable.I waited patiently past closing hours, even when the other staff had all dispersed home, I had to wait for Derrick to come to the office first. I was in serious doubt as to if he would make it back to the company or if I should just leave. If the accident was very fatal, I doubted Derrick would make it to the office again. I decided to time myself and if Derrick wasn’t bac
Billionaire Baby Daddy Chapter 36
I looked at the lifeless body of Diana and I felt I was in a dream, I had the premonition that something like this would happen, yet I still let go. And I partially blamed myself for what happened. I could have had her board a taxi before leaving her but I still left her on her own unprovoked after I’ve said some hurtful things to her.The streets were thrown into a mishmash as everyone wanted to know what was going on. I slow-paced to the scene of the accident and was almost happy as I noticed there was still a slight pulse on her breathing, I immediately sprang up into action.Thankfully, Andrew brought my car in the nick of time and I slumped Diana over my shoulders while Andrew drove over to the hospital like a lunatic.“Diana, please live”. Was the only word I kept muttering to myself.I would never be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her because I was the only one who could have averted the accident but I chose to ignore it. I could have been nicer to her, or maybe
Billionaire Baby Daddy Chapter 35
I got a call from a strange number and I was tempted to pick it up, but I couldn't, my hands were shaking, I could feel my body vibrating from anger and my mind wasn't sturdy enough. I watched the phone ring till it broke off.I got another call from my mother. I knew I was supposed to take her to dinner today but why was she calling so early? It was just past lunch hour. Despite my reluctance, I picked up the phone.“Hi, mom”Hi darling, how are you? Her voice was so breezy and it calmed me down a bit. But what she said next had my heart racing ten times faster than it should.“I just got off the phone with Diana, it's such a delight to speak to her after all these years, isn't it 4 years now?”“Diana? What the hell are you doing talking to her?”.Why would my mother still talk to Diana, they had gotten along 4 years ago but that was in the past and I intended to keep it that way.“And Yes, Mother, it's been 4 years”, I said, grimacing.“What do I need this piece of information for?”
