Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 30: Down in the Dumps
Alex cursed his underlings every mile of his drive home. He'd missed the heartbeat of his child. It was the first time either of them heard it, and he missed it because of an emergency meeting that could have been an email.He should have put down his foot and just left, but he'd originally thought his staff had valid concerns. The game he was going to launch might be behind schedule. He couldn't do that. This was going to be something that could change the gaming world.As much as he didn't want to rush it and it had to be perfect, he'd built up expectations with the gaming public. He needed to deliver and do it on time. Alex suspected Isabel was behind his delay. She and Amelia had worked out some kind of truce, but Alex wasn't sure that Isabel wanted it. She'd known he was going to the doctor's appointment with Amelia today. Even if Isabel hadn't been in the meeting, she'd facilitated it. She'd forced her staff to come to him with a small concern that she could have taken care of

Amelia was immediately sorry she said anything to Alex. The angry look on his face made her mouth go dry. "She said that? Those were her exact words.""Yes," Amelia said, now sorry that she told Alex about the encounter with Tory. Amelia should have just brushed it off. She wasn't in a romantic relationship with Alex. She was sleeping with him and having his baby. Some part of her must want more, even knowing that Tory was right. She wasn't his type.Alex ran his hands through his hair. "I'm sorry. I'll take care of this.""There's nothing to take care of.""She needs to stay away from you. I won't have you upset."It was Amelia's turn to squeeze Alex's hands. "I shouldn't have let it affect me.""It's not your fault, Amelia. Don't downplay it. Tory needs to know that she can't get away with this."Alex rose."What are you going to do Alex?" Amelia asked. She didn't want him to get in any trouble."I'm going to see her. Don't wait for dinner for me."Alex left and Amelia rushed into

"Alex?"Amelia's voice reached Alex in the fog of him just about to wake up. She hadn't stayed with him that night telling him that she wanted to see how her new-found truce with Isabel was working. She wouldn't throw what was going on between her and Alex in Isabel's face. She preferred to ease her into it. Even though Isabel knew they had already spent one night together, Amelia hoped she would get used to the idea before they brought things to the public.The sun hadn't risen just yet so the room was still dark. "Amelia?"Alex shook the sleep out of his head when the tone of Amelia's voice reached his consciousness. He sat up and turned the light on. "What's wrong?"Amelia had a hand on her stomach. "I'm having a little bleeding. Not much, but I'm concerned."Now Alex was concerned. He rubbed a hand down his face. "Okay. I'll drive. I know where the hospital is.""I need to call my doctor.""You do that and I'll get dressed."She left him and spoke in the hallway. When he left his

The household staff greeted Amelia when she returned from the hospital. Word must have gotten around the house. She was happy the baby was fine. The doctor suggested a day or two of rest and to avoid stressful situations. It was mid-morning."I'm going to shower and go to work," Isabel said as they were just inside the door. "Do you need anything before I go?"Amelia could only marvel at the change in Isabel. She hoped it was truly a transformation and that it would stay. It couldn't hurt to have Isabel as a friend. "I think I'll be fine. Thanks."Alex hadn't left her side except to get the car when she was leaving the hospital. Isabel nodded and left them. Amelia studied Alex. "What happened there?""I just assured her that she was loved," Alex said. As if that needed no other explanation. Maybe that was all Isabel needed. Wasn't that all anyone needed? To know that they are loved. Amelia could use the same things, but Alex's actions said a lot. He'd taken her to the hospital. She

"I can't believe you work a corporate job now," Kalia said as she hugged Amelia outside the restaurant. "Did you ever think you'd see that?" Amelia asked. Amelia had decided to take the job offer at Hillen Industries. After Alex paid her hospital bill, she knew she needed to do something for herself. She was rarely sick, but there would be pregnancy checkups and well-baby visits in her future. Alex had suggested she invest in the retirement account the company would set up for all employees. Amelia had never been so financially responsible until she was pregnant with a billionaire's baby. "No, not at all," Kalia said holding the door open for her.They were seated at a table by the window. This was the first time Amelia and seen Kalia since she found out she was pregnant. "You look great. Pregnancy agrees with you," Kalia said. "How is life in the corporate world?""Not nearly as bad as I thought. I think I'm close to tracking down Alex's hacker.""Isn't his game launching soon?"

Kalia's pronouncement gave Amelia a lot to think about. Was she in love with Alex? So quickly. Maybe it was just pregnancy hormones. If she was falling in love with him, she was going to get hurt."Are you okay?" Alex asked as he climbed into the car at the end of the day. "How did your lunch with Kalia go?""It was good to catch up with her.""You look concerned about something."It had been a long day and Amelia didn't want to get into a serious conversation right now so she didn't ask. "No, I'm fine.""Okay. I've been doing some thinking."The driver pulled out of the lot and onto the highway. Amelia glanced out the window and then back to Alex. "About what specifically? I bet you think about many things every single day. You do run a company."He sighed. "I mean about us."Great. They were going to have this conversation. Today. After Kalia insisted that Amelia was in love with Alex. This might be too much right now. Then again maybe it was better to get this over with. If they cl

When they reached the house, Amelia was agitated. "I need to go for a drive.""You can take the driver and go."She shook her head. "I want to go by myself."Alex didn't like that idea at all, but he figured Amelia wasn't going to listen to him. "Please?"She sighed. "I need some time to think some things through.""He'll take you anywhere you want. He'll stay in the car and not bother you."She put her hands on her hips, which meant she was digging in. How did he get around her? He wasn't sure she was safe to drive in her present emotional state. He couldn't come out and say that. She'd be doubly mad at him. He paused to choose his words, but for the first time in his life, none were coming. "Just the driver. I won't ask where you're going."She frowned but nodded. "Okay. It's my time."Alex had things to think about, too. The proposal seemed like the right answer. They would be bringing their child up in a safe and secure environment. Maybe it was her age that was holding her back.

Alex stared out his window his heart beating rapidly. Frustration fisted his hands and he tried to loosen them when they hurt. A few weeks ago, his life had been in order. He had his house, his daughter, and his company. Everything was in order. One night with a beautiful young woman seemed to change all that. Before today he would have said that was a good thing. Today he wasn't so sure.That was why he jumped a little when Madge entered his office. He didn't know what else could go wrong. They were weeks out from the game launch and everything was on track. "Henrik said he still hasn't found the hacker," Madge said. "He can't do much without Amelia."Alex swiveled his chair to look at her. "Guess he wasn't man enough to come up and tell me himself?""I took the information because I know how much of a grumpy bear you're being today. He didn't need your wrath.""And you're willing to take it for him?" Alex asked. She waved a hand. "You don't scare me, Alex Hillen."He tented his h

Amelia slept through the night and the next morning Alex was up and dressed before her. She felt bad since it was supposed to be their second night as a married couple. She'd fallen asleep before he left his shower. "You didn't wake me," Amelia said, stretching."No. You needed your sleep. But we need to go somewhere now. You can sleep more later," he said. There was a twinkle in his eye. He hadn't mentioned a surprise again, but maybe this was it. Was it another spa day? She liked the first one, but still felt guilty. "Where are we going?""You'll see. I've packed for you. I hope that was okay.""I guess. Since I don't know what weather we're packing for then I guess I'm glad you did."Amelia rose and got ready for her day, even if she didn't know what was happening. She trusted Alex and he'd been more attentive than usual since the warehouse. Did he feel guilty? He hadn't done anything to inspire the Agostinos' actions. She had done more to poke that bear. At least she was able to
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 49: What Money Can Bring
The advantage of having money is that you have resources. If you can pay for them, they will be at your beck and call, whether human or object. Add in the fact, that the person in danger had worked briefly for the government which Alex had only just found out and the response was deafening. That was how Alex came to stand outside Agostino's warehouse with federal agents waiting for the signal that it was safe. Henrik, Erik, and Fred had joined Alex. They doubted the federals would need their muscle, but he appreciated their presence anyway. His heart hammered in his chest and he longed for one hour alone with Papa Agostino if he hurt any hairs on Amelia's head. The radios on the agents' belts chattered quietly. It wasn't a calming noise, and Alex wondered if it alerted anyone inside the warehouse to their presence. He'd assumed a surprise attack would be best, but this wasn't a hockey game. This was dangerous and Amelia would be in the line of fire."She'll be fine," Erik said. "The
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 48: The Bliss Goes Sideways
When Amelia left the spa she was rejuvenated and ready to see her new husband. After spending hours in bed and taking a long nap, Amelia was tired but mostly refreshed. She woke up to an empty bed. She wasn't worried because she doubted that Alex had gone far. She showered, dressed, and found him in his office. She watched from the doorway as he huddled over his computer. His office was large, but his size made it look small. She couldn't help smiling at the turn her life had taken. Alex looked up at her and smiled. "Hey.""Hey.""You feeling okay?""I'm feeling pretty wonderful," she said. And she was. She finally felt as if she belonged somewhere. Alex motioned her into his office. She walked over and straddled his lap, his arms wrapping around her. "I'm feeling pretty wonderful myself."Even sitting on his lap, he was taller than her. She leaned in and kissed him, the feeling of it curling her toes. How had she landed such a great man? She hadn't even been looking, but here he
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 47: Spa Day
Amelia stared at the imposing doors that must have been made of gold. They were shiny and Amelia was afraid if she touched them, she'd leave a mark. Kalia and Isabel flanked her. She felt power in their presence. Amelia had never been to a spa and she hadn't been willing to blaze this trail alone. Alex had agreed to pay for Kalia, too, and when Isabel heard, she invited herself. Amelia was actually glad because Isabel had been to spas her whole life. She would save Amelia from making a faux pas if that was possible at a spa. She'd assumed that spas were places only rich people went and she wasn't one of those. Even with marrying Alex, she didn't think of his money as hers."They are just doors, Amelia."Amelia glanced back at Isabel who stood there flashing a reassuring smile. Kalia nodded as if she was on Team Isabel. Amelia took a deep breath then let it out. "But they are huge.""They aren't as heavy as they look," she said. Amelia looked back at Kalia who shrugged. She wasn't a

Alex had finally convinced Amelia to marry him and he was happier than he'd expected. It would be a simple ceremony at the courthouse. He'd offered her grander things, but she had turned them down. Maybe it was what he liked most about Amelia. She was low maintenance."You look handsome, Daddy," Isabel said from his bedroom door. He thanked the stars that Isabel had been happy when they'd told her they were getting married. "Does this tie look okay with this suit?" Alex asked. Isabel laughed. "It has been years since you asked me that. Yes. It looks nice. Are you nervous?"He shrugged. The fiasco with the Agostinos still weighed on his mind. He'd visited Papa Agostino and asked for him to back off. He hadn't left with any assurances, but he hoped they understood each other. He was never marrying Tory and Amelia was to be left alone. "A little. Is that odd?""Were you nervous when you married my mother?""I was so amazed that your mother was actually going to walk down that aisle. I
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 45: Amelia Goes Home
Amelia stared at the mansion knowing she only had a few minutes before someone would open the door. Someone on Alex's security team or Benedict would know that she'd driven in the front gate. Been driven in since she'd caught an Uber. She could have stayed with Kalia, but what would be the point? She belonged here. Even if Alex didn't love her, she felt something for him. Her moment of solace was gone when the front door opened and Benedict stood there. "Miss Cooper. Welcome home."There's that word again. She did feel a certain amount of peace being here. Was that what home meant? "Hello, Benedict."Before she could ask if Alex was home, he appeared in the foyer. Without hesitation, he stepped out onto the stoop and engulfed her in his arms. It wasn't the homecoming she expected. "I missed you and I'm pretty pissed at you," he said on the top of her head. Okay. That was fair. She had ditched the driver, while she was in danger. "I'm sorry."He let her go and Amelia glanced at Ben
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 44: Amelia Hides Out
Amelia wasn't stupid. She knew she was in danger so she hid in the mall bathroom until Kalia came to pick her up. She exited at a different site than she entered. She'd turned off her phone so that Alex couldn't get in touch with her. As far as she was concerned, she'd taken precautions not to get caught.When she looked around and no one was there, she hopped into Kalia's car."I feel like I'm part of a spy movie," Kalia said."Something like that. Thanks for coming for me. I just had to get out.""Anytime girlfriend, but you may not like what I have to say.""We can talk about that later."Amelia kept looking behind them, but she couldn't tell if they were being followed or not. She wasn't good at sneaking around. She'd never been a teenager who went to parties or snuck out of her house. She'd always walked a different road, but it hadn't been in rebellion against her parents. "What are you looking at?"Amelia told Kalia what was going on. "Maybe you should have stayed with Alex. H

"I wish you would just stay at the mansion. It's large enough for all of us," Alex said.It was the third time during their drive to meet a real estate agent to see an apartment. Amelia was done with hearing it. "Stop, Alex."He moved a little closer to her in the back seat. "I'm serious, Amelia. I don't like this.""It isn't yours to like or not. Just because I am carrying your child doesn't mean you get to tell me what to do."They hadn't slept together in days and Amelia had assumed that whatever was between them wasn't going anywhere. It was time for her to figure out her next step. She loved working for his company, but living with him was too much for two people who weren't even in love. Well at least one of them wasn't. She was pretty sure her crush on Alex would remain unrequited. She didn't need to see him every day. "I'm not moving out right now anyway."The threat of the Agostinos still loomed over her head. She wasn't willing to risk herself or the baby to assert her indep
Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy Chapter 42: Amelia Is Threatened
Amelia can't believe the breakthrough she'd made. Henrik is standing over her computer. "You've caught the hacker," he said. The joy she felt in breaking this hacker was dampened by the fact that Hillen Enterprises might not need her anymore. This was her specialty. She wasn't a code monkey. She was a hacker. She wrote code to do specific purposes and it wasn't gaming. Henrik patted her on the shoulder. "You are amazing. Now we can start criminal proceedings.""I haven't actually identified who they are. I've only found their IP address. It's probably hidden behind anonymizers and such.""But you've gotten further than any of us."Amelia nodded but knew there was more to this. Of course, what she'd done was good and it got them closer to discovering who the hacker was. Amelia was excited about what she'd accomplished, but not as excited as Henrik was. "You need to go see Alex. We should celebrate all accomplishments."Amelia shrugged. "I need some fresh air. I'll step out then go
