Carrying The Billionaire's Child CHAPTER FORTY FIVE
MANNYWhen they arrived at the hospital, Manny was all dressed up and waiting.She gave him a weak smile as she saw him stand by the door and Jason waved at her, smiling widely.She was so glad to see him and was even more glad she could finally get out of the hospital. She seemed to be spending more and more time here.“Let me go see the doctor first.” Andrew said and left her with Jason.She couldn't help but feel that for some reason, Andrew wasn't happy to see her.“Okay.” she croaked, her throat dry. She laid back on the hospital bed, her back facing Jason who was busy on his phone.She was asleep when he came back to get her. Manny felt Andrew's fingers trace her face and her eyes fluttered open.He had taken that long with the doctor, she wondered what it was they had been talking about.No matter how many times she slept, she was still tired.“Hey, time to go.” She heard him whisper and she became wide awake.Andrew helped her get up while Jason carried the small bag that was

MANNY“Will she be okay?” Manny heard someone ask, the voice sounding similar to that of her husband's.“She'll be fine. She hasn't fully recovered, she just needs time.Manny heard the person sign in relief and she was curious to know who this person was that cared for her.She groaned and opened her eyes slowly as she allowed herself to adjust to the light little by little. When her eyes fully opened, she found Andrew's father peering down at her.“Good, you are awake.” He said the concern in his voice was now gone.Were all the Cooper's men this way?“Where is Andrew?” She managed to ask.She might be awake but her body certainly wasn't.“Your husband is in his study, I will get him for you.” He told her and left to inform his son that his wife was now awake.And in a few minutes, Manny could hear heavy footsteps coming towards her room. Andrew opened the door, walked in, and closed the door behind him, he was never one to knock.He stood in front of her bed and observed her. He co

MANNYToday was the twenty first day of them staying at Andrew's vacation house and Manny was loving it.There was no work, just fun and relaxation. Who wouldn't love that?During their stay here, Manny had seen a totally different side of Andrew, the cool and laid back side. It was like he was entirely another person.He had even opened up about his past, his brother and how he died and how his mother lost it causing her dementia.Manny felt sorry for him. She regretted not being by his side when his mother died, he wasn't yet over his mother's death and now she was giving him another trouble.She became emotional. She thought about it. All this time she thought he was just a cold-hearted person who was full of himself and all he cared about was money. But it turns out he just needed someone to love him.A knock came at the door and she sniffed, cleaning her tears. She hadn't realised they were falling.The knock came again and she laughed. Hewas even knocking on the door now, the An

ANDREWAndrew was about to walk in when he heard the two friends arguing. Their voices were loud, not caring who was listening to their conversation.“I think I love him.” Those words made Andrew stop in his tracks. The silence that came from the room was deafening, he wondered what was going on in their minds.Before he could give it any more thought, laughter erupted from the room, filling the corridors and he knew clearly that it wasn't from his wife.Was the idea of Manny loving him that funny?“He wanted to take your child away Manny, he doesn't care about you!” He heard Josie say and the words stinged him. Was he really that bad?Andrew refused to move. His feet were glued to the floor and his ears to their conversation. He understood why Josie was against Manny's feelings for him, he wouldn't date himself either.Having had enough of their bad-mouthing and backlash, he entered the room. He cleared his throat, making his presence known.The color drained from each of their face

MANNYIn a twinkle of an eye, one month was gone and Manny was packing up.She stopped for a minute and reminisced about everything that happened during the past month, it was the happiest she had ever been in a while.She remembered the day she woke up in Andrew's room, it was the day she'd gone out with Josie and the first time she and Andrew slept together in the same room during the vacation.His strong arms made her feel safe and the scent of wood mixed with mint filled her nose.Since then, they've been sleeping together.“How could someone smell so good early in the morning.” She said to herself and giggled as she remembered all that had transpired between them in that room.She'd advise the next person to sleep there to change the sheets.“What’s so funny?” Andrew’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. Startled, she gasped. She didn't hear him come in.“Nothing important.”“Nothing important?” he asked, taking slow steps towards her as he smiled intently.Manny stepped back

MANNY“Mum?”Manny called out, the embarrassment in her voice was unmistakable.Hearing her say the word ‘mum’, the security guard bowed in apology for the misunderstanding.They explained that she had driven in frantically and asked to see her daughter.“We’ll take it from here.” Andrew said as he walked up from behind them.The security nodded and dispersed the rest of the guards while Andrew, his wife, and Manny's mum entered inside the house.Kari walked in with no care in the world and sat like she owned the place. Manny couldn't help but wonder what her mother wanted, it wasn't even up to a day and trouble was already stirring up.“Where have you been?” Her mother asked sternly, her eyes fixed on Manny.Manny started to get anxious, Andrew noticed, and he placed a hand on her thigh. Oddly enough, Manny found strength in his action and for the first time ever she looked her mother in the eye.“I traveled, mother.”Kari scoffed, surprised at her daughter's newfound confidence.“Yo

ANDREW“You slept with her didn't you?" Manny’s voice was loud and it drew the attention of everyone around them.“Manny, I…”“Don’t.” Manny cut him off“Don’t lie to me.” Tears gathered in her eyes and Andrew stared at her expressionless.“I did sleep with her."Manny burst into tears as he spilled the truth and Andrew glanced at Kate who smiled at the chaos she had made. He fumed with anger.Manny’s cries increased and she clenched her chest as she felt her heart shattered into a million pieces. And her husband stayed mute. “Say something, Andrew!" Manny wailed and fell to the ground.The maids quickly rushed to her side and tried getting her up. The look on Andrew's face broke her all the more. Manny bawled and wept. It pained her so much, that there was no use in hiding it. Someone she loved and cherished didn't even have an ounce of respect for her. It pained her more that he had settled for someone who had a child. He just made it clear who he wanted in his life.“You need t

MANNYManny woke up with a sick feeling in her gut the day after. She wasn't sure if it was the food she ate last night or pregnancy problem.She didn't think too much of it and hurriedly had her bath, dressed up, and skipped out of her room quietly and quickly.She was lucky enough not to cross paths with Andrew. It was like he knew she'd try to avoid him so he stayed clear.She got outside, entered the car and the chauffeur drove her to work, and by the time she got to the fashion house, everyone was busy.She tried sneaking around to get to her office so she wouldn't see her mother. Her head hurt and she wasn't ready to listen to her mother nagging.“Manny!” She heard a sharp voice call her name.She cursed under her breath and turned towards the direction of the voice.“Mother.” She exclaimed, nearly in the same tone as her mother.“You're late.”Manny rolled her eyes at the familiar words she'd gotten tired of hearing.“I'm pregnant mum, I should be allowed to be late sometimes.”

In a bright, sunlit kitchen, the aroma of freshly baked cookies fills the air. Amelia sat at the kitchen table, her hands gently resting on her pregnant belly. Her long, brunette hair cascades over her shoulders, and her eyes, filled with a blend of excitement and nostalgia, look lovingly at her two children. Aiden and Adelaide, four, sat eagerly beside her, their wide eyes full of curiosity. “Woah!” The little boy exclaimed with so much excitement. “Was that how you gave birth to us?” Amelia nodded, her smile wide. The children were waiting for their father when they pushed her to tell them a story about how she fell in love with their dad. Now that she was done, they looked at her, more curious than before. "You know, when I was a little girl, not much older than you two, I used to dream about the day I'd have my own family," she began. “And now I do.” She beamed at them. “But why was Daddy so mean to you? He even threatened to take away Angel?!” Adelaide asked,

The night was eerily quiet when Amelia's labor began. She had felt sporadic contractions throughout the day, but they were manageable. Now, though, as the pain intensified and the contractions came closer together, she knew it was time. But her husband seemed to be lost on what to do. "Hang in there Manny. I'm calling Josie and Tristan to come over." Andrew said, trying to keep his voice steady. “Call the fucking driver Andrew. I need to go to the hospital." Amelia yelled as the pain intensified. “Right, the driver." Andrew scurried out of the house and later came back in to get his wife. "Get the bags!” Amelia commanded and he complied, afraid she would tear him off with her eyes. On their way to the hospital, Andrew informed Tristan what was happening and he promised to show up at the hospital with Josie. Amelia's mind was a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, fear, and pain intertwined. She had done thousands of checkups and only ate the food Andrew cooked for h

The grand cathedral was adorned with cascading white roses, shimmering crystals, and soft candlelight, casting a warm, ethereal glow over the gathering. The air buzzed with the murmur of anticipation and the gentle strains of a string quartet playing in the background. Down the hallway where she was getting set, Amelia felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness as she prepared to walk down the aisle. Her dress was a masterpiece of silk and lace, custom-designed to fit her perfectly. She had designed the dress herself, she might have wielded a gun for ten years but her hands could still hold a needle. Tristan wore a proud smile as he stretched his hands out for her. She took his arm, feeling the weight of the moment settle in her chest, her heart pounding with each step. The doors swung open, and a collective gasp echoed through the hall. Amelia took in deep breaths, and with joy, she took her first step onto the rose-petal-strewn aisle. Her eyes locked with Andrew’s wh

Amelia spent a month and some days in the hospital getting better but mostly cuddling up with Andrew. Their love continued like she never left. There were times that she would cry while explaining everything she had been through and Andrew would console her, promising to do everything in his power to protect her. Andrew had come to pick her up from the hospital that morning and Josie insisted that Amelia come to her place first. It was her house regardless. “I can't believe this." Josie squealed, unable to contain her joy. All this while, her friend was alive and was right under her nose. She knew the first time she set her eyes on Amelia that there was something familiar about her. “You're alive." She spread her arms wide and Amelia wasted no time in jumping into her embrace. She had missed her so much. "I'm so happy.” "Me too Josie…me too.” The two women cried till they could cry no more. Their cheeks were red, their eyes puffy and their clothes were stained wi

The sound of something shattering jerked Amelia back into consciousness. She tried getting up and groaned as she fell back down. She looked at what was happening around her, her swollen eyes making it almost impossible to see who was who. She was kept hidden in a corner, away from the disaster that was happening. “Fuck.” She heard Sebastian's voice and quickly turned in his direction. She saw him tangled up with the man she had seen so many times. Her captor. “Sebastian.” She croaked, but he couldn't hear. Just then he received a bullet to the end. Amelia froze but then breathed out in relief as he saw Sebastian get up. She looked up to see who had shot the gun and saw Tristan helping him up. ‘Andrew.’ a voice screamed at her. Her eyes scanned the room, her heart pounding, praying something hadn't happened to Andrew as she searched for him. The firing of a gun caught her attention. Tilting her head out of curiosity, she found Andrew, firing his father's both legs. “

Andrew and his men moved out. The roaring engines of the cars filled the air as they drove deep into the outskirts of town. Andrew drove Tristan and Sebastian with him as he continued running the plan over in his mind. ‘nothing could go wrong.’ He thought, gripping the steering wheel tightly. “Dude, slow down. You're going to get us killed before we even get there." Tristan cautioned, feeling the increasing speed of the car. This was his first ever mission and his anxiety got the better of him. "I should have just stayed behind the scenes like always.” He muttered, regretting his decision the closer they got to their destination. “I didn't force you." Andrew reminded and Sebastian chuckled at the back. "Whatever. I just want to come back alive.” The car became quiet again and after a while, they got to the place. Allen and Lorenzo had done a good job hiding the place. At first, it was pretty hard to locate. Andrew stepped out of his car, the cool air sweeping

“I kept her under your care.” Andrew bellowed, his eyes blazed with anger as he punched Tristan. Tristan staggered back and massaged his jaw. Andrew had just arrived from Mexico and the first thing on his mind was to punch him. “How the fuck did she get kidnapped!” He roared, hitting him again before he could regain his stance. Couldn't something go right in his absence for once? “I tried to warn her, it's not my fault. She's a grown woman!” Tristan argued, dodging the next punch that Andrew threw at him. Andrew kept charging at him, and Tristan constantly missed it. He tried his best not to hit back, he knew Andrew wasn't himself at the moment. “Andrew!” Josie snapped, her sharp voice pierced through the hallway as her eyes blazed with fury and her lips curled up in anger. “She left on her own. Don't hold my husband responsible.” She hissed coming forward to stand between them. “You should have tried to talk sense into her.” “Who said we didn't?” Josie took a step

“What do you mean kidnapped?” Andrew barked, his teeth gritting. He left her right there for protection. How was it possible to get kidnapped? “She went out for a walk and never came back. We've been searching for her.” Tristan explained he could tell Andrew wasn't having any of it. “And then?” He hissed. “We got a note yesterday, saying if you want to see your wife, you have to bring the cash.” Andrew fumed at his statement, his hand clenched in a fist. Would his father go this far? Or was it someone else? “Did it say who it's from?” “Lorenzo.” He paled. His blood ran cold at what he would have done to Amelia. Then he felt immersed in Anger. He wasn't going to win this time. Without allowing Tristan to continue, he ended the call, picked up the documents from the table, and headed toward the door. He wasn't losing her for the second time. Getting closer to the exit, he saw Sebastian by the door, a duffel bag in his hand. “I'm going with you.” He said, h

“Why can't you just listen? Don't go out at night, it's a very simple instruction.” Tristan complained as he drove Amelia back to the house. She had gone out of the house again for her ‘evening walks.’ “You can't tell me what to do.” She whined, folding her hands like a child that had been scolded. “Andrew isn't here at the moment so as of right now, I get to tell you what to do.” Amelia just scoffed as she looked out her window, the night cool air, hitting her as Tristan drove. They got home to see Josie by the entrance, pacing. “Amelia.” She rushed over to her and hugged her. “You got me so worried, don't just leave the house like that ever again.” “Andrew said your life might be in danger, that's why you have to stay with us.” “I'm sorry for making you worry but I'm here now. Why don't we go inside?” Josie nodded and Amelia led her into the house by the hand. Everyone had retired to bed and was now sleeping, except her. So she decided to go again. Making su
