The medical professionals were trained in their job and got straight to everything. My pulse, heart rate and I was administered the right anesthesia for delivery.

"The baby might be early but I think you can deliver her safely." He informed me after all birth conditions were met. "Tell me if you feel anything out of the ordinary."

"Doctor, can Skyler get in here?" I asked the doctor because I needed someone to hold my hand. He was the only one I trusted right now to be here with me.

"Is he the baby's father or your boyfriend?" The doctor asked, I guessed there were restrictions to be met before someone could come inside the delivery theatre.

"Yes, he has the baby daddy and also accompanied me during my antenatal." I lied. All I needed was for him to be here; I needed someone to be by my side and assure me all the way.

"Alright," the doctor nodded, then turned to one of the nurses, "Get the father in her; he has to witness the baby's birth." He instructed the n

Unfortunately, Xander couldn't witness the birth of Valeria but that's just life. Things might not go how you expect, but that doesn't mean it would be all bad forever.

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    151 - What's next

    (Karis's pov) Skyler fell asleep by my side before he realized everything might have taken a toll on him. I was unable to sleep because my mind was busy thinking about what was next now that Valeria was here. My gaze stuck on the white ceiling. Skyler mentioned before that we were going to France for a short vacation immediately after I was cleared to be able to travel. I was wondering if maybe I would just stay in France and attend a fashion school to improve my skills. Although Sapphire praised my skills, I knew there was still something missing. It didn't give me that feeling my mother's designs gave me. The door creaked open drawing my attention from my thoughts. Skyler was not a deep sleeper so he was woken up from his short slumber. "I hope I am not interrupting anything." A man dressed in corporate wear, and a white lab coat came in. He was accompanied by a nurse in pink scrubs. I could immediately recognize he was the doctor who helped me deliver Valer

    (Karis's pov) After relaxing a bit, Skyler left the hospital to get things prepared for Valeria's return, although he felt a guard to make sure we were safe. My hospital room was filled with chatter and a peaceful atmosphere. Esther had come to visit me after delivery. She was the only friend I made here. After surviving the accident and she became my attendant nurse we kind of clicked as friends. Inaudible blabbering came from Valeria's mouth in a cot beside me. After studying her condition for 24 hours, she was finally moved to my side. "She will be very beautiful," Esther said with sparkling eyes looking at Valeria's directions. "She has no choice, her mother is beautiful. "I said with a proud grin. It made me sound like a narcissist, somebody I knew at the back of my mind. "I am sure she will, to have you and Skyler as her parents, she will be blessed with unparalleled beauty." Esther chimed and a forced smile graced my lips. That was right; everyone thought her dad was

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    153 - A Hopeless Jerk

    (Xander's pov) Time is very fleeting. You just wouldn't know how fast it ran by until you took a moment to stare back at how much time had gone by. 9 months, that was how long had gone by. "You should take some time to check how she is doing." Mum's sharp voice cautioned me; she had taken the liberty to come to the office to give me an ear full about treating Emma better because she was carrying my child. So she claimed but I doubt it. "She is doing fine and doesn't need to see my face," I stated, not bothering to take my attention from my laptop. I didn't have the time to entertain Emma, even though she was a bit repentant now but it was also her fault Karis was dead now. Most importantly, her pregnancy has not been confirmed to be mine; while she was pregnant, everyone went against the idea of having DNA until the baby was born, not to take any risks, so until the bastard in her stomach as been confirmed to be mine, I cared less if she was breathing or not.

    (Xander's pov) I heard the baby's cry from a distance. It had been a week since Emma gave birth, and after being slapped by reality so hard, there was no way of escaping. He was my son. 4 DNA tests and not even one came out negative. I begged secretly and wished for it so badly as a means of validation that I didn't cheat on Karis but 4 DNA tests can't be lying. Kyle even ran one, and I didn't want to believe it. The last time I was here was because of Karis. Now, I was family home to see her sister's son. ' Xander you are a scumbag.' I scoffed at myself. That day after Emma gave birth I didn't go to see her. She begged and cried over the phone and even went as far as going to the estate, but the gate was closed for her. My instructions were simple: I wouldn't see her until the baby's test results were out. The rain was pouring heavily, and I didn't bat an eye to see her and had to call Mum to drag her away. Everyone started calling me heartless, then aft

    (Karis's pov) Four years later I was surprised at how fast time had already passed by; I could remember my welding night like it was yesterday, but so much had changed since that day. I sat back in the back seat of the Royce Roy as it drove into the Louvre Museum, where today's event would be held. So much had happened during these past years that Karis Reynolds, who fled from her husband, was no longer the one the world knows today. "Ma'am we have arrived," the driver informed me. I subtly nodded then he drove in line to the beginning of the red carpet. The car doors opened and I emerged wearing an iconic green dress everyone knows as my signature attire. "Madam Esmeralda has arrived," one of the paparazzi screamed and so many cameras started to flash before me. My chestnut was styled and held up while I had a black shade on my face that I always wore to public events and my iconic red lipstick. That was how the world knew Madam Esmeralda, the owner of Sky

    (Karis's pov) Bertha's speech made me emotional, I never expected she would dedicate such an award to me. The feeling of guilt started to trouble me because since the day of that plane crash three years ago, I had never made any contact with her, but she held me in her heart. The fashion icon award was for clothing item designers, which I was not in the category of. Although I had a clothing line, they were mainly designed by my employees. Once in a while, I designed a few dresses, but it was never my thing. My main category was the royal jeweller which was to be announced after the fashion icon award. Another important personality was called to the stage to announce the results.."the winner of the royal jeweller awards is...." The person drawled. "Even without opening this envelope, we know without a doubt the winner is Esmeralda from Sky Link." My industry name and the spotlight shown on me.

    (Karis's POV) It felt like my world froze, and everything became bright immediately after I saw a single word, ' positive' on the pregnancy test results with tears welling up in my eyes. "This is not a dream." My voice broke as I spoke. "Congrats, ma'am, you are three weeks pregnant." The doctor congratulated me. I was unable to hold it anymore and immediately burst into tears. They were tears of joy; after five long years of being called barren, I was finally able to conceive. I was so excited by the news my ears turned deaf to anything other thing the doctor said. I just waited for him to dismiss me before rushing out of the hospital. Suddenly everything thing seemed brighter. I was so happy that my emotions were all over the place, laughing and crying at the same time. On my way home, I kept thinking about how to share the good news with my husband, with multiple ideas popping up in my head. Tomorrow is Xander birthday, so I decided to get an early birthday present for him a

    (Karis's pov) My head was spinning and it took a while for me to realize what was happening. A second ago, I was in the middle of the road about to be crushed by a car, and the next second, I appeared in the dressing room on my wedding day. I would have thought it was a dream or a joke but I could feel Bertha hold on my wrist. Was I being reborn to have a second chance in life? I stopped moving as I came to the realization. Bertha turned back at me, surprised why I stopped; her eyes went wide, stunned because my eyes were blurry with unshed tears. I felt like crying, remembering everything that happened in my past, which might repeat itself in the future. "Karis, Are you crying? Please don't cry today should be your happiest. I can't believe you are finally married to Xander, your long-time crush." Bertha said in a calm voice caressing my hand. "I can't help it." I sniffed, hugging Bertha; it had been ages since I saw her because Bertha died in the past. She wa

  • Escaping my heartless billionaire husband    149 - An early delivery

    (Karis's pov) My water just broke and my stomach felt like a war was about to break out. I was leaning against the kitchen counter, one hand pressed against my lower back, the other gripping the edge of the sink. The ache in my belly was sudden and I really could not believe my water just broke. Valeria was not meant to come until 2 weeks later. Was I stressed out by seeing Xander that my water broke earlier than expected? It's been 3 days since I accidentally ran into him but it bothered me greatly. The fear of him bursting into my life and why I was unprepared was always on my mind. I was scared he would snatch away the little happiness life has given me. The clock on the wall reads 2:12 a.m., and the house is eerily quiet. I came down for a glass of water to distract myself, to move around and shake off the restlessness, but the tension in my body didn't go away. Another wave of pain grips me, stealing my breath. I double over slightly, one hand instinctively cradling my bell

    (Karis's pov) Someone was crying but I didn't know who it was. The halls were dark and eerie; I knew immediately this was not the mansion in Germany I was residing in but the Reynolds family House. How did I get here? I wondered as my legs walked down the silent hallway towards the source of the cries. My eyes darted around, and I could spot some old pictures of Mum and me, exactly how I remembered it to be before Miranda moved in with Emma. My legs stopped at the door the cries were coming from. It was my parent's room; I slowly pushed the door and let out a loud creaking sound that made the person crying to stop. My head peeked in and I caught sight of the Auburn head woman. "Mummy," I called out, my voice sounding like a little girl's own.Mum's auburn hair was very beautiful, and when I was little, I wished that my hair was her colour instead of Dad's chestnut hair. Her hair was reddish brown with a gold undertone. She had fragile beautiful features with a
