HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 35; You're selfish and self-centered
Coraline's POVI breezed through the day like I hadn't been off work for three weeks, everything was muscle memory and I could do all my tasks with my eyes closed. My regular customers had missed me and I spent the whole day chatting with different people, mostly asking about my health and I reassured them that I was fine. By the time it was the closing hour, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed, I had made the right decision by coming to work today.Mei walked out of the kitchen while I was removing my bag from my locker, " Are you in a hurry to leave?" She asked, leaning against the wall. I checked my watch, I still had about fifteen minutes left before I had to go and pick Becca up from daycare "I've got some time, you need anything?" Mei wrinkled her nose, " Not really, I just wanted to ask how you are doing like you weren't too stressed today right? If it's too much, you can still take time off or reduce the hours you work." We left the locker room and returned to the main shop.I
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 36; God, you drive me crazy
Elijah's POVWhat gave her the right to think that I didn't mourn my child? I loved that baby, I didn't get to know them, I didn't get to hold them, I didn't even get to see them but I loved them with all my heart. Fuck Coraline for thinking that about me, what had she expected me to do when she had hit rock bottom, to hit rock bottom as well. I had to be strong for her, I had to be strong for Becca. Hell, being strong was the only thing I knew how to do. I couldn't stand her right now, I couldn't stand to be in this house with her, I needed to get out. I left the house and got into my car, I called Tyler first but he didn't pick and I decided against calling him a second time, he was going to be a dad soon, and he didn't need to deal with my bullshit, I needed to call someone I could get shitfaced drunk with and they would be down for more drinks.I called Kia, we weren't what I would call best friends but I knew if push came to shove, he would have my back for anything and everyth
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 37; I had a very productive night
Coraline's POVGosh, my head was banging! It felt like a train was moving at high speed and my brain was on its tracks. What was that loud sound that was disrupting my sleep? I tried to open my eyes but they were too heavy so I decided against that then I attempted to move my body but it felt like bricks were laid on my body literally. What the hell was on me? I forced my eyes open, and the bright reflection of the sun on the window flashed into my eyes and almost bleached my retina, I shut them abruptly and then waited a few minutes before lifting my lids slowly so my eyes could adapt to the sunlight.I glanced down at my body and saw a thick arm wrapped around my upper torso and someone was snoring beside me. What the fuck! My body stiffened as I tried to remember how I had let an intruder into my room. What should I do? Should I scream? Should I quietly get out of bed? I was confused and scared about what to do next. I looked at the bed, the sheets were dark blue, a sharp contras
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 38; Did you have sex with Elijah?
Coraline's POV"How come Becca's here and not at daycare? Also, why were you late? It's so unlike you." Mei asked as we took our lunch break in her office.I sighed and gave Mei an 'I wish you didn't ask that question look', " Girl, it's a long long story." I sat down and waved Becca over to eat with us. I had left the house past 9 and knew there was no way I was going to drop Becca off at daycare without being gossiped by her teachers.Becca rushed over, sat next to me, took her plate filled with food, and began to eat. Lord, the child ate with gusto, you would think I hadn't fed her in a week."Cora, come on, tell me what happened. This is so unlike you, you're never late anywhere. I'm the latecomer." She patted her chest. I groaned and hid my face in my hands, God, this babe was forcing these words out of my mouth."Ok fine, I was drunk last night. Me and you know who, had an argument, and I was frustrated so I drank till I was blackface drunk and so I woke up late." I shoved some
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 39; The deal is off
Coraline's POVJeremy raised his hands in a ' calm down ' position, I let my hands fall and loosened my defensive stance. I was still wary of him but I tried hard not to show it."So, why are you here?" I asked, kicking the air with the tip of my Converse."I just wanted to clear the air between us." He smiled, his blue eyes glittered like sapphires. "I don't want you to think that I'm still hurt from our breakup, I'm happy for you and Elijah so I don't want you to act uncomfortable around me."I eyed him skeptically but found nothing but sincerity in his eyes, wow, it must have taken him a lot to say this to me, he must have thought about it for a while.I fiddled with a strand of my hair, suddenly feeling a bit ashamed, here I was thinking he was going to be a problem but he was genuinely a nice guy."Okay." I replied, ” I also want us to get along freely without our past being a stumbling block. We work together, I'm going to see your face, 5 days a week so it is right that we are
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 40; Mr Warren doesn't move with your type
Coraline's POVThe drive to Warren Multimedia was a long and tiring one. I stupidly believed that I could navigate the journey without using the GPS since it was a big and popular company but ended up getting us lost. I eventually made use of the GPS and we arrived at the company. Becca was antsy in her car seat and I could understand why, the poor girl just wanted to take a bath and rest after a long day at daycare. I unbuckled the seatbelt and helped her out of the car then I locked up and we trudged to the rotating door of the company.The moment my feet touched the tiled floor of the reception, I knew I had been teleported to another dimension and I didn't belong there. Men and women worked around dressed impeccably, looking like they had just stepped out of a magazine. They moved around comfortably and efficiently like they were made to be that way, I looked down at Becca and could see the excitement and amazement in her eyes, she was itching to let go of my hand and explore th
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 41; You shouldn't judge a book by its cover
Elijah's POVHearing from my secretary that Coraline and Becca were downstairs in the lobby, had my heart racing like never before. I couldn't explain what it was, was it worry or excitement or fear? But seeing them waiting for me in front of my office and Becca leaping into my arms just felt right. It felt natural and I wanted more occurrences like that.Another thing I had not anticipated was the fear I felt when Coraline fell on her wrist and couldn't move it. I was ready to carry her in my arms and rush her to the hospital but she insisted that nothing was wrong with her legs and she would walk.At the hospital, I had to continuously reassure Becca that nothing was wrong with her mother and also distract her."Bee, let's go get a Skittles at the magic machine." I led her to the vending machine, brought out a coin, and pretended I was casting a spell on the coin, I slotted it into the machine and also said some nonsensical words then the candy pack came out. Becca bent down and pic
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 42; Friends do that for friends
Coraline's POV My body stiffened as Elijah came closer and stood between Jeremy and I, his gaze shifting from me to Jeremy. Before I could decide an answer that would be pleasing to everyone, Jeremy opened his big mouth and sputtered out the truth. "I invited Coraline out on Saturday to go the bookstore with me and she agreed. Her favorite author, Maisie Jordans is in town for a book signing." Elijah's expression turned from angry to icy, he grabbed my hand and linked our fingers together. "Coraline will not be going anywhere with you on Saturday. She'll be with me and Becca. I'll take her to see Maisie Jordans, you don't have to." Jeremy's face darkened and he narrowed his eyes, " What right do you have to tell her not to go out with me? You're not her father or her husband, even if you were her husband, she's an adult and can make decisions for herself." Elijah let go of my hand then crossed his arms over his chest and moved closer to Jeremy, there was barely any distance betwe

1 year laterCoraline's POVIt was a balloon mayhem in the Warren mansion. Today was the twins' one-year birthday and it was already off to a disaster. I didn't know who had come up with the genius idea to blow up ten giant balloons and tie the hand of my son, Judah, to it. Now I had a semi-heart attack when I saw him floating in the backyard. Okay, he wasn't actually floating but his legs were no longer steady on the ground. Warren and his ridiculous friends, one whom my son had been named after had been in charge of getting the balloons ready but it seemed that had something else in mind. Something life-threatening and death-worthy, they just laughed and took pictures of him floating. They were having way too much fun with the helium pump and I was not having it."Elijah, bring my son down this instant. Get those ridiculous balloons off him before I get there." I shouted from the backdoor, immediately they swooped into action, Elijah grabbing Judah while the other guys found the sci
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 63: Come back home to me and our kids
Elijah's POVJudah, Kia, and I were in one car, three of my men were in another car behind us, and Tyler and Gavin had stayed back. Gavin was still tracking Coraline's location, he was on the phone so he could tell us immediately if the location changed.Kia pulled up in front of a shabby bungalow on the outskirts of town, if Judah and Gavin hadn't shown up, I would never have been able to trace Coraline to this place.We got out of the car and approached the front door, every man had brought out their guns and we were ready to shout at anyone who wasn't Coraline. That had been my order, shout first, ask questions later.I tried to open the door but it was locked, I moved back a bit and then opened the door with a resounding right kick, breaking the lock.I rushed into the house, Judah and Kia following closely behind me, the living room was deserted, and I spotted Coraline's black purse on the crummy sofa which was a good sign that she was here. "There's no one in the kitchen," Juda
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 62: If I can't have you, no one can
Elijah's POVIt had been six hours since Mrs Smith informed me about Coraline's disappearance, I had my men out searching everywhere for Jeremy. I was reviewing all the places he usually frequented when I had my men watch him and he wasn't at any of them. It took Kia who was my hacker about an hour to track Coraline's phone. It had been tossed on the road, a few blocks away from the cemetery. I had moved Mrs Smith and Becca back to my grandfather's house, I wanted Becca somewhere I could keep my eyes on her. I had a feeling Jeremy was going to come after her and Coraline would never forgive me if Jeremy could get Becca and I would never be able to forgive myself. Right now I was lost, I had no leads on where Coraline was, I had exhausted all the clues I had and they all led to dead ends.Kia and my men were in the kitchen that was now our makeshift conference room. Tyler was here as well and had no idea who Kia and the other men were, he just assumed they were my security. My grandfa
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 61: Get away from me, you bastard
Elijah's POV"Well, you royally fucked up," Judah said from the other side of the call. I sighed and ran my hand over my face, tell me something I already didn't know."I told you then, I reminded you constantly that getting your revenge was going to end badly. Trust me, I've been there, it never ends well for the parties involved." He continued.I kissed my teeth, "I know, dude. I never knew I was going to end up falling in love with her. Everything is so messed up, I hurt Coraline so bad that she couldn't look me in the eye." I was seated on my childhood bed in my childhood room, I looked completely out of place with the grunge band posters on the wall and the large poster of Metallica covering almost half of the wall. God, judging from the kind of music I used to listen to, I must have been such a difficult and troubled teen. How did my grandfather and Mrs Smith survive living with me?I heard Judah shuffling paper from his side of the call. It was already evening here but it was s
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 60: You're pregnant, you shouldn't be stressing yourself
Coraline's POVI cried myself to sleep that night. Mrs Smith came over, she said Elijah had asked her to come and stay with us as I would need help with Becca. According to her, Elijah had shown up at his grandfather's house with a suitcase in her, looking like a puppy that had been kicked repeatedly.Janet made sure to emphasize that Elijah was sad, regretful, and wallowing in shame. I acted like I was hard of hearing and couldn't hear a word she was saying. Janet completely took over the operations of the house, she let me get the alone time that I needed and took care of Becca. She brought me food and although I had no appetite, I knew I would be punishing my babies by not eating so I forced myself to eat. Elijah called but I had handed over my phone to Janet so only she and Becca spoke to him. For two days, I was a complete shadow of myself, I barely got out of bed except to eat and pee, I realized that I was gradually falling into a depressive state and I hated Elijah for doin
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 59: I love you too, Daddy
Coraline's POVI raised my hand, I was not in the mood to hear his excuses because I knew Elijah, he was a sweet talker, he would always have something to say. "Stop. Stop it please, it's exactly what it looks like. I'm not stupid, neither am I blind. I can't believe I ever trust you. I can't believe I actually thought I was falling in love with you. What a big joke. Did your grandfather really say he was going to cut you out of his will or was that just a lie to get me involved with you? You know what, I don't care. I'm done." I snatched my phone from his hand, turned, and rushed out of his room as fast as I could. I entered Becca's room and slammed the door, I hurried to her wardrobe, got out a suitcase, and began to fill it with clothes, toys, and everything Becca would need for some days. I grabbed a backpack and put in some extra things. I wore the backpack and began to roll the suitcase out of the room. Elijah was waiting outside, his eyes widened when he saw the bag in my han

Coraline's POVI hadn't heard anything from my stalker in about two months and I was starting to think he had forgotten about me and had moved on. Jeremy had been away for over a month now and we were holding a welcome back party for him. He had gone back home to stay with his mother who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily it was quickly detected, she had gotten surgery and was now better. So both of our pastry chefs were out, Mei had to call in a favor from one of her culinary friends and they came with a staff and helped out for the month.I was now eight months pregnant and Elijah had officially banned me from working behind the counter as the barista so my new role was being the manager. Elijah preferred if I didn't work at all but I refused, I couldn't just leave the cafe when Mei was absent and Jeremy as well, it would have been too hard on Louise to keep the cafe running. We had hired no hands to help out in the cafe and increased our coffee stations as the cafe was
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 57: Why don't you and your daughter fucking die and leave me alone?
Elijah's POVFriday rolled by and we were currently seated in the courtroom listening to the lawyers use legal jargon as they went back and forth with each other. Coraline was shivering next to me but I held her hand tight and drew circles on her lap to calm her down. I had my gaze fixed on Reginald who was clad in a black robe looking regal and supreme but I knew better. He made eye contact a few times and I made to smile at him, acknowledging him. He always looked away quickly and stared at the papers on his desk.I tuned out the happenings in the court at some points as I had no idea what they were talking about and also since I knew there was no way we were going to lose. I came back to reality when Coraline began to shake my shoulders, crying. My heart sank, my first thought was Reginald had pulled a fast one on me, my second thought was to get my assistant to send out the videos of Reginald's son, and my third thought was to call Kia and get him to dispose of good old Reggie.Co
HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY Chapter 56: Power will get you everything you want
Elijah's POV"I got the information that you wanted," Tyler announced as he entered my office, he waved the file in his hand. He got to the desk and dropped in front of me."Thanks." I collected the file, opened it, and flipped through it."Why do you need it? What are you going to do with the information of the judge in charge of Coraline's case?" He sat down and crossed his legs.I lifted a shoulder and dropped it, "Nothing much, I want to run a background check on him and see if he's reliable. For what it's worth, Blossom could have bribed him to rule in their favor. "Tyler frowned, " I highly doubt that, Judge Reginald is an upright man from what I've heard. I don't believe he can be easily bribed."I snickered, oh how naive Tyler was. I picked up my phone and shot a text to Kia to investigate Judge Reginald, I needed a full background check on him and his family, I wanted eyes and ears on them every minute of the day. I also wanted to know if he had met with Blossom recently. Ki
