Falling For Her Billionaire Baby Daddy Chapter Twenty-two
Derek had completely forgotten about that late-night call he’d made to Cassie sometime last week after another day of dealing with sexual frustration from being so close to Rachel but not being able to touch her or tell her how he felt. He’d arrived at his home and rung his supermodel on again and off again girlfriend but she’d turned down his invitation because she was mad at him for not informing her before leaving town.Now here she was out of the blue, just when he had finally succeeded in being honest with Rachel about his feelings and winning her trust. Why was fate messing with him this way? How was he going to explain Cassie’s visit to Rachel without looking like a liar?“Listen, Cassie, you have to leave now,” said Derek in a low voice. He couldn’t hide the urgency in his tone because he needed this stubborn woman to comply with him and get out of his house right now.“Why?” Asked Cassie with a frown. “Weren’t you the one who invited me here?”“Yes, but that was last week. Yo

“What the hell was that, Cassie?” Derek asked the supermodel after Rachel left. “What’s the meaning of that stunt you just pulled?”“I don’t know what you are upset about,” said Cassie nonchalantly. “Weren’t you the one that invited me?”“Again, that was last week,” said Derek with forced patience. “Besides, you should have called me before showing up here unannounced. Now see what you’ve caused.”Cassie scoffed in disbelief. “Oh, please. Don’t tell me you’re pissed with me because of that baby elephant that just stormed out of here.”Derek saw red. His face hardened and his hands clenched into fists. “Don’t you ever talk about Rachel in that manner again, do you hear me? Let this be the last time you refer to her as such.”Cassie was shocked by Derek’s reaction. She took one step back, not out of fear, but from bewilderment at his response. “Good gracious, Derek. Calm down. Who is she by the way?”“She’s none of your business,” he said dismissively. “You have to leave now.”“Are you

When Rachel arrived at her mother’s house in New York the following day with Zoe, she felt relieved for the first time in twenty-four hours. She’d explained away her impromptu trip to her mother by saying she’d needed a change of scenery but the truth was that she wanted to put as much distance between her and Derek as she could manage.“Ooh, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes,” said Rosemary Lane as she swept Zoe up in a bear hug. “I missed you so much, darling.”“I miss you,” said Zoe, getting cozy in her grandmother’s arms.“Rob would be so thrilled to see you two,” said Rosemary. “When is he coming here?”“Uh, I don’t know. I didn’t tell him we were coming,” Rachel explained.“Why not?”“Because this was sort of an unplanned trip, you know. I think I’ll call him now.”Rosemary set her granddaughter down and looked at Rachel intently. “I hope everything is ok between you and Derek?”“What do you mean?” Rachel asked, avoiding her mother’s eyes.“I mean you are not impulsive by nature

Derek didn’t know what to expect when he arrived at Rosemary Lane’s picturesque townhouse the following day. When she opened the front door, he didn’t need any introduction to figure out who she was because she looked like the older version of Rachel.“Hello, ma’am, I’m here to see Rachel and Zoe,” he said and cleared his throat self-consciously. He felt like a teenage boy coming to ask for permission to see his girlfriend.Rosemary raised an eyebrow. “And you are?”“Derek Fraser. I’m Zoe’s father.”“Is that so?” Asked Rosemary with an unimpressed expression. “Does Rachel know that you’d be showing up here today?”“No, but it’s important that I see her and talk to her, please,” he appealed.“I don’t understand the deal with you, Mr. Fraser.”“Please, call me Derek.”“Why do you keep chasing my daughter across the country when you have no intention to do right by her?”“That is what I have come here to do, ma’am.”“Who are you talking to, Mom?” Rachel asked from inside the house.“Why

“I’m so glad that you two talked things out and are ready to start all over again,” said Rosemary as she continued to fold Zoe’s clothes. They were in Rachel’s former room, packing her bag in preparation for their flight back to Atlanta. “It’s good to know that Derek is ready to make an honest woman out of you.”“I beg your pardon? What are talking about, Mom?” Rachel asked.“You know what I am talking about, Rachel. Don’t play dumb with me. That man is in love with you and head over heels smitten by Zoe. It’s so obvious that even the blind can see it and that is why I believe that you should strike the iron while it’s still hot.”“Don’t be ridiculous, Mom. Derek doesn’t love me, he likes me. There’s a difference.”Rosemary rolled her eyes. “So, you are going to keep that fine man waiting because of a small technicality in language?”“What are you getting at?”“Look here, my dear. That man is every woman’s dream; he is good-looking, rich, and a perfect gentleman. Those are the qualiti

Derek broke the kiss abruptly and said, “I think I should leave now, or else I will not be able to stop myself if I continue to kiss you like that.”“Then don’t stop,” said Rachel. “I’m not complaining.”“Are you sure?” He asked softly, searching her eyes for reassurance.Rachel chuckled. “Yes, Derek. I am sure and don’t forget that we’ve done this before.”“I didn’t feel this way before,” he replied with a charming smile. “The first time we were together, I was only attracted to your body and that unique sense of humor you had. But now, I’m attracted to your body, your essence, your heart, and your presence.”“What are you saying?” She asked, knowing that his words were deeper than they sounded.“I am saying that I want to truly become a part of your life, Rachel. I don’t just want to be your baby daddy, I want to be your man. I want to be your lover, your friend, your companion, your partner…”Rachel could feel her heart beating fast as Derek spoke these sweet words to her. She want

Rachel was so sure that last night’s intense lovemaking with Derek had been a dream, so when she woke up in the early hours of the morning, she did not bother to get up or open her eyes. A wide smile spread across her face as she remembered vivid details of what had taken place in the most erotic dream she’s ever had in her entire adult life.“Hmm… That’s something you don’t see every day,” Derek said beside her.Her eyes flew open in surprise. “Derek? What are you – wait! That wasn’t a dream?”Derek laughed. “Now I know for a fact that last night was just as amazing for you as it was for me. First, you wake up with a smile and now you think it was a dream? I’m scoring myself an A for effort.”Rachel laughed. “Oh my god, I feel so silly right now.”“Don’t,” he said and kissed the tip of her nose. “I understand how you feel. Last night was almost too good to be true.”She giggled. “And I have been so selfish, I haven’t checked on Zoe to see how she’s doing.”“She’s still asleep. I chec

“I think it is safe to say that Rachel has gotten her happily ever after, yeah?” Said Leticia. She was having a conference video call hosted by Rachel and featuring Brittany and Fiona as well. It was Saturday and Derek had taken Zoe to the neighborhood park for a fun day in the sun while she opted to stay back home and film a product review video for her YouTube channel. She’d finished filming and then decided to check in with her friends through video call so that she could fill them in on what has been going on with her and Derek. “I wish it was that simple,” she said in response to Leticia’s comment. “Maybe I’m all in my head and overthinking everything, but I kind of feel as if things are moving too fast between me and Derek. I haven’t even had time to process how quickly our relationship has transformed within the space of one month. It’s a lot to digest.” “Girl, I thought you’d be happy,” said Fiona. “Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted with him?” “Yeah, I guess so,” said Ra

“This can’t be happening,” Derek muttered incredulously after a frightened Elaine came to announce to him that Rachel had been abducted at knife-point by Sam. “Oh, God! What have I done?” Yasmin wailed. “Calm down, Mom. I’ll call the security guys at the gate right away,” said Derek briskly. “He can’t have gone very far with her, so we can still find them.” “We should call the police too,” Elaine suggested. “What’s their emergency number here?” “Where the heck is that ambulance?” Yasmin demanded irritably. “Javier has slipped into unconsciousness. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately.” As they scrambled around the house to make phone calls from different phones, Zoe who was now awake, walked across the room and placed her favorite stuffed toy, Binky, on Javier’s chest. “Don’t be scared, Binky is going to help you,” she whispered to the unconscious chef. Just then, they heard the wails of an ambulance siren as it sped through the driveway. “Finally!” Said Yasmin, thr

A loud crash woke Rachel up and her eyes flew open with alarm. She could tell instantly that something was wrong.“What was that?” Derek asked groggily.“You heard it too? It sounded like something breaking,” she said and began to get out of bed.“No, you stay here and I’ll go and check it out,” said Derek, getting out of bed.“You go to the kitchen and I’ll go and check on Zoe and Elaine.”They quickly put on their dressing robes and ran out of the room to investigate the strange noise and make sure that the other occupants of the house were ok.Rachel was relieved when she was that both Elaine and Zoe were still asleep in their room and they hadn’t been disturbed by the crash that woke her up. She quietly closed their bedroom door and moved to Yasmin’s door, but as she raised her hand to knock on it, Derek showed up with a barely conscious Javier leaning on him. The chef’s head was bloody and he looked dazed.“Oh, my God! What happened to him?” Rachel asked, hurrying over to the hal

Once they were done with lunch, there was unanimous agreement that everyone should take a stroll to the beach to walk off that hefty meal.“I don’t think I’m going to eat anything else today because that was a loaded lunch,” said Rachel, suppressing a belch.“Yeah, maybe,” said Derek with a smile.They were walking hand-in-hand past the tall palm trees that lined the property and went all the way to the beach. There were some large rocks on the other end of the beach and it looked like a nice hideout where they could get a little bit of intimacy away from the rest of the group.“How about we go over there and check out what’s behind that rock?” She asked, pointing toward the distance. “Just you and me.”“Sure, why not?”“We’re going back inside,” Elaine announced. “Zoe is long overdue for her nap and she’s getting restless.”“Aww, poor baby,” said Rachel, bending down to stroke Zoe’s blonde curls.“No nap,” she said drowsily while yawning and rubbing her eyes. However, she didn’t resi

“There you are!” She exclaimed when she found him standing by the pool, staring off into the distance. “Are you ok?”“Yes,” he said and smiled at her. “I have never felt this much peace in my life.”“Aww, I’m glad you feel that way,” she said, embracing him.“Come on, let’s go inside and see what Elaine and Zoe are up to. The island manager will be sending in our private chef later today. In the meantime, I’m sure we can make do with whatever is in the kitchen for now.”“I don’t think anyone is hungry yet. This place is too good for you to think about eating.”“Zoe may not agree with you,” he said with a grin. “My daughter is a certified foodie.”“She got it from her momma,” said Rachel.“I’m not going to argue with that,” said Derek and he received an elbow jab in the ribs from his wife.They found Zoe and her nanny in the cinema room watching Moana. Derek and Rachel were immediately captivated by the exciting animation movie, and they too sat down to watch it. When it was over, they

One month later, Rachel walked down the aisle created in front of Alfred’s gloriously beautiful flower garden, holding a bouquet of white irises that looked like a cluster of clouds over green stems. Her ivory Vera Wang wedding dress was an off-shoulder creation that featured lots of tulles, crystals, and a full skirt that made her look like a Disney princess. Rob struggled not to cry as he walked his little sister down the aisle in his spotless three-piece suit.“I almost can’t believe this is happening,” Rachel whispered excitedly to him.“It’s happening, darling,” he replied in a whisper too. “Your fairy tale happy ending is finally happening and I cannot even begin to tell you just how happy I am for you.”“You’ve told me a gazillion times already and that’s enough,” she said with a chuckle.When they reached where Derek was waiting in front of the minister, Rob hugged his sister tightly and whispered, “I love you.”“I love you more,” Rachel whispered back with misty eyes.After R

Just as Derek had predicted, Alfred was beyond ecstatic when they informed him of Rachel’s wish to be married at Rickman Manor.“What an honor!” He exclaimed happily. “What joy!”“Stop being so dramatic, Uncle Alfred. It’s just a wedding,” said Derek.“Uh-huh, Derek. It’s not a wedding, it’s the wedding,” said Taylor and he got a high five from Rob who yelled, “Dang right, it is!”Everyone laughed. They were sitting at a long dining table that had been set up by the hotel in the banquet hall where they’d had Derek’s birthday party last night. It was the only place that could contain the large family consisting of Rachel’s folks, Jonah and his family, and Uncle Alfred. Diane and the other guests had checked out of the hotel earlier after having breakfast in their rooms.This late breakfast was for family only and that included Elaine who was sitting beside Zoe and making sure the toddler was cared for while the adults joked and chatted playfully.“I am so happy for you two,” said Rosem

Derek went down on one knee in front of Rachel and opened the ring box. Inside it was a dazzling 24 karat gold ring with a large princess-cut white diamond in the middle and tiny crystals encircling the band. It was gloriously beautiful!“Rachel Lane, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” Derek asked her with stars in his eyes. “Will you marry me?”“Yes!” She replied instantly without hesitation, sinking to her knees and hugging him fiercely. “Yes, yes, and yes!”The room erupted in a joyous cheer, applauding the touching scene.“That’s not how it’s done,” Derek laughed through his happy tears. “You’re supposed to stick out your hand and let me put the ring on your finger.”“Who cares about how it’s done? This is how we do it,” she replied happily. “Now put that ginormous ring where it belongs.”She stretched out her left hand and he slipped the ring on her finger, sending their guests into another round of celebration.“I wish Zoe was here to witness this,” he said.“Bedtime

Yasmin chuckled. “Rachel is a genius,” she said. “She’s the real deal, Derek. She’s a keeper.”“I still can’t believe that you’re here,” he said in wonder. “I feel as if I am dreaming.”“So do I,” she admitted. “Derek, I am so sorry for everything. I am sorry I didn’t give you a chance to get to know me but instead allowed your father to drive a wedge between us. I am not trying to paint your father as the bad guy because if I’m being honest, I also share in the blame. I am so sorry for abandoning you and letting you mourn my fake death while I lived my best life somewhere else.”“I didn’t have time to mourn you,” he confessed. “I was so angry at you and I drowned myself in work.”“I am so sorry,” she said again, crying openly. “I am so, so sorry, Derek. Can you ever forgive me?”Seeing his mother cry and express so much remorse broke something inside of him. It was as if she had smashed the block of ice that had held his heart in a death grip for years, into tiny pieces. Tears rolled

“No, what’s the point? I know why she has been doing it and I’m not sure she’ll have anything new to share with Yasmin anymore.”“Today’s episode is definitely something worth sharing.”Derek chuckled. “Maybe.”“Have you thought about reaching out to Yasmin?”“What for?”“I don’t know, just for the sake of it. Alfred already confirmed everything she told us, so that means she wasn’t lying.”He sighed.“Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive her?” Rachel asked softly.Derek lifted an eyebrow. “For what?”“For abandoning you,” she replied.He sighed again and looked away. When the elevator reached the first floor and swung open, he took her hand in his and led her out of it. Cheryl was beaming like the sun when she saw them together and she waved at Rachel as they left.“I think Cheryl is my number one fan here,” she remarked as Frank and Mark escorted them to the parking lot.“Nope. She’s number two,” said Derek.“Who’s number one?” She asked.“Me,” he said with a grin and follo
