Carrying The Billionaire's Child CHAPTER SIXTY NINE
**SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA The sound of her heels resonated through the half-empty bar. The dimmed lights concealed her face, preventing her from being recognized. It wasn't good for her to be in the public eye, that was why she chose this particular bar, a place where no one comes to.She stopped and looked around, her eyes searched for the person she was to meet and the lights weren't being of help to her.Her eyes finally landed on the grey-headed man, his composure made him stand out.She walked over to him with a smile on her face. Today, she was getting what she had always wanted, an investment.“Drinking alone?” She took her seat beside him and hollered at the barman to give her a drink.“You are early.” The man acknowledged her presence as he took the last of the cup’s contents. He would rather be anywhere but there“I can't keep you waiting now can I?”She would try her best to use all her charm and make sure he gave in. She wasn't leaving empty-handed.“So what is it that yo

MANNY Manny stared at her mother, she didn't blink a wink. She was too confused, her mother was the last person she expected to see. If not for the look of surprise on both Andrews's and Josie's faces, she would have thought that one of them had contacted and told her about her condition. “Hello dear.” Her mother had a sincere smile on her face, one that Manny hadn't seen in a long time but that didn't mean she’d accept her with open arms. She was skeptical. Anything her mother did was always for her benefit. “Mother, what are you doing here.” Manny failed to mask her surprise as it protected through her voice. “What sort of question is that? I came to see, of course, I heard about your little accident.” Kari snared the last three words. She had to maintain composure to look motherly. She smiled and sauntered towards Manny who jerked back unconsciously. Eyes were glued on Kari like she was a foreign thing that had just fallen from the sky right before their eyes. “K

ANDREW “I think you've been here long enough." Andrew dashed into the room, tired of staying outside. “You should leave." Kari looked at Andrew in contempt. He was like his father, placing his claim on something he didn't even merit. She pulled a lot of strings for everything to go well. “I was just leaving.” Kari said and placed the basket of food by Manny's side. She wasn't going to leave her daughter to have the horrible hospital food. “Make sure you take your drugs dear, if you want to leave here on time.” she cautioned, said goodbye to the other three and left. Her mother's words may have sounded normal to everyone, but only she knew the meaning behind it. “Are you okay? I heard a loud sound earlier, did she hit you? “No, she didn't, I'm fine.” Manny laughed it off as she tried to hide her face with her hair. She hoped her mother's palm hadn't left a mark on her sensitive skin. “Is it just me or did she get scarier?” Josie entered, her mouth and hands filled wi

**THE NEXT DAYAndrew sat in his office the next day, staring into space. His mind was occupied with so many things and he couldn't tell anyone.He didn't think his father would understand Jason? He couldn't trust him either, he was acting suspicious. And who knows, he might be working with Kate.The only person he could talk to was Tristan and he didn't trust him enough to keep his mouth shut but what was the harm in trying? So he called him.“Yes?” Tristan's tired voice echoed in Andrew’s office.“How fast can you get to my office?” Tristan sensed the urgency in his voice, “I will be right there.” The call ended.He dropped his phone and leaned back in his chair to think some more. The way Kate confessed, it was like she wanted him to know, she wasn't scared of him or what he could do. So saving Manny at all costs was his priority.A thought crossed his mind, he slowly stood up from the chair and sat on the table. ‘Did she try to kill Liam too?’ It didn't make sense to him, Liam

MANNY Manny spent three weeks in the hospital and she was getting tired of the place. She complained and nagged Andrew to allow her to be discharged but he was adamant, he insisted that she stay for a month to know if everything, including the baby, was alright. Manny kept whining. Unable to listen to any more complaints, Andrew agreed but only on the condition that she would get treatment at home. Two days after that, Manny was back home with Josie safe and sound. Andrew had people clean it up before their arrival. He helped Manny get to her room while Josie and Tristan remained with each other downstairs. “Do you want me to sleep over?” Andrew asked as he helped her gently to the chair. “No, no, that will not be necessary. You have to go to work.” Manny dissuaded Andrew from his stupid idea. It would be too weird having him at the house, she doubted Josie would be comfortable with that. “I should stay, then I can watch over you.” Andrew said as his hand went to his l

ANDREW Despite all of Manny's objections, Andrew packed a little of his belongings and was on his way to her house. Now that he had all the information he needed, he wasn't going to take any chances. He had installed cameras around her house and even if Manny had refused to be with guards, when she stepped out Andrew made sure they followed her. She couldn't see them, but they were there, lurking in the shadows. He was still on the road when he decided against his action and made a detour. If he couldn't be by her side, he would at least be a few meters closer to her. In minutes, he found himself in front of a luxurious hotel—The Palace. “Here we go." He muttered, took his bag, and walked into the building. Heads bowed as he made his way to the reception. “Sir, that room is taken." The receptionist informed him, but Andrew didn't seem to care. "The spare key.” Andrew dictated, his hands stretched out to receive the key. After being settled, he went to the elevator and he

**AT THE HOSPITAL WEEKS AGOThe loud sound of someone being hit made Andrew rush to the door.“Manny? Are you okay?” He asked, almost entering.“I'm fine, something fell.” She responded but her response didn't sound fine to him. So he hovered around the door, pacing to and fro till his ears picked up something.“I can't help you with that.” He heard Manny say.Help with what? The two had been in there forever.He went closer to the door and leaned in just enough to hear whatever it was they were talking about.“Do I need to remind you who puts us in this situation? Ask him for a donation.”‘A donation?’ Andrew whispered the fashion house must be crumbling badly.“You'll be free afterward. Just make sure he pays.” The room became silent. Andrew waited patiently for Manny's response, he could feel her nervousness and hesitation.“Fine, I'll do it.” Hearing her response, he backed away from the door and brought out his phone. Kari was willing to give Manny her freedom for a donation an

ANDREW Kate smiled at her brother as he helped carry her bags inside. Scheming and planning have kept them away from one another for a long time.The two were inseparable.“Next time you want to come over, please call early.” Damon said as he dropped her heavy bags with a huff, they were as heavy as bricks.“You should always have a room prepared for me, you know that.”Kate balanced herself on the one-sitter couch. Her brother had to hide out in a small town because of what they had to do, It felt like ages since they last saw themselves, and she was happy to be back with him.“Couldn't you find a bigger house?” “A bigger house means attention and that's something that we are trying to avoid.” Damon reminded her, his voice sounded with a matter of fact.“Still.” she sneered as her eyes roamed around the small living room.The two spoke and asked about each other's welfare, the work was lonely and wasn't new to them but in the end, it was all worth it. After lots of talking, it was

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
