MY BILLIONAIRE BABY DADDY WANTS ME BACK CHAPTER NINE
Claire’s povMy feet pounded against the pavement as I ran, tears blurring my vision. The ache in my chest felt like a gaping wound, one that wouldn't stop bleeding no matter how hard I pressed against it.How could Lucas do this to me? After everything we'd been through together, how could he have another woman waiting in the wings? A fiancée, no less? The betrayal cut deeper than any knife.Part of me didn't want to believe Chloe's nasty words. Lucas had seemed so sincere, so vulnerable when he asked about my relationships. There was a tenderness in his eyes that made me think, just maybe, he still cared. But then that ring appeared, glittering like a poisonous viper poised to strike. The denial on Lucas's face couldn't erase the sting of seeing such blatant proof of his deceit. My mind spun with a whirlwind of doubts and insecurities.Did he ever really love me at all, or had it all been a game, a ploy to get close for some nefarious reason? The thought made me shudder, my heart g

Claire’s povI went past Anna into the outer office. My stomach felt tied up in knots. And there she was - Chloe, glaring at me with clear hatred. Her lips curled into a mean smile as I came closer."You," she spit out, venom in her voice. "I don't know what dirty little thing you think you have with Lucas, but it ends now."I felt mad at her demeaning tone, anger burning hot in my chest. "I don't think that's any of your business, Chloe."She laughed in a mocking way. "Of course it's my business. Can you imagine, a high-class billionaire like Lucas being with a low-life, poor girl like you? It's disgusting, not to mention impossible." The cruel words cut right through me, bringing up every insecure feeling I tried to bury. I was suddenly very aware of my modest office, my ill-fitting jacket, my bare ring finger.A tremor went through me, but I fought against it, gathering up my last bit of boldness. I looked straight at Chloe, mouth set in a hard line. "Well, it seems Lucas saw so

Chloe's POVI stormed out of Nova Designs, tears streaming down my face. Humiliated. Betrayed. How could Lucas treat me this way? Over some nobody like Claire? My vision blurred as I stumbled into the backseat of the car waiting for me. "Home, now," I choked out to the driver, not even bothering to wipe my eyes. Let him see my pain. Let the whole damn world know.The ride passed in a daze, the city lights smearing together through my tears. Before I knew it, we pulled up to the sprawling mansion I called home. I practically fell out of the car, my heels wobbling on the cobblestone drive.Somehow, I made it inside, the heavy door slamming shut behind me with a resounding thud. And there in the grand foyer stood Grandpa, his weathered face etched with concern."Chloe, darling, what's wrong?" He rushed over, age-spotted hands reaching for my shoulders. "You're crying..."A fresh wave of sobs wracked my body. I collapsed into his arms, burying my face against his suited chest. "Oh Grand

Lucas's POVThe instant Chloe fled, I pulled Claire into my arms, holding her like she was the most precious thing in the world. In that moment, she was. My heart pounded as I breathed in her sweet scent, relishing the warmth of her body against mine."I'm so sorry, Claire," I murmured into her hair. "I promise, I won't let anything like this happen again. No one will ever take you away from me."She trembled slightly in my embrace, and I tightened my hold, willing her to feel safe and cherished. To know that I would move heaven and earth to protect her.We stood there, lost in each other, the rest of Nova Designs fading away. It was like we were the only two people in the world. Nothing else mattered but the feel of Claire in my arms."Ma'am?" A hesitant voice shattered the spell. "You have a call..."Claire and I sprang apart as if scalded. My face heated as I took in the wide eyes of Claire's assistant, Anna. Along with the curious stares of the other employees."It's the manager f

Claire's POVMy heart raced as Lucas pulled me close, his words washing over me like a soothing balm. "I promise, I won't let anything like this happen again. No one will ever take you away from me."I melted into his embrace, letting his strength steady me. In that perfect moment, I almost believed everything would be alright. That we could weather any storm, as long as we had each other.Reality intruded all too soon in the form of my assistant, Anna. "Ma'am? You have a call..."Lucas and I jumped apart, heat flooding my cheeks as I felt the curious eyes of my staff on us. I smoothed my skirt with shaking hands, trying to regain some semblance of professionalism. After a few more awkward exchanges and lingering looks, Lucas and I retreated to my office. The click of the door shutting behind us sounded loud in the charged silence."So," I began, busying myself with straightening files on my desk. "When would you like me to start on your design?" Lucas's fingers caught my chin, gent

Lucas's POVI walked into my house, my mind still filled with thoughts of Claire. Her smile, her laugh, the way she felt in my arms. God, I missed her already and it had only been an hour since I left her office. My fingers itched to call her, just to hear her voice again.I pulled out my phone, ready to dial, when a sharp voice cut through the quiet. "And what the hell did you do to Chloe?"I nearly jumped out of my skin, whirling to find my mother perched on the couch, arms crossed and eyes cold. "Jesus, Mom! You scared me."She stood, mouth pinched tight. "Answer the question, Lucas. What did you do?"I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Look, Chloe needs to accept that she and I were never going to work. We're just not right for each other."Mom's face reddened. "How dare you say that? Have you lost your mind?"Frustration filled me, hot and sharp. I was so tired of this same old argument. "Enough, Mom. I'm not marrying Chloe and that's final. The sooner you accept that, the

Lucas's POV I couldn't stop grinning like a fool after I hung up with Claire. My cheeks ached from smiling so hard but I didn't care. I felt like I'd just won the lottery, my whole body buzzing with excitement and anticipation.I tossed my phone on the bed, already thinking about our dinner plans. I wanted everything to be perfect - the food, the ambiance, the company. My two favorite people in the world, all to myself for the whole evening. Shrugging out of my shirt and pants, I grabbed my cell again and dialed Jason, my personal assistant. He picked up on the first ring, efficient as always."Jason, hey. I need you to book a private dining room at the Ritz for tonight. 7pm sharp."I could hear him typing rapidly in the background. "Of course, Mr. Brookes. For how many?"My smile widened. "Three. And Jay? Make it the Windsor Suite. I want the works - champagne, roses, the best menu they've got.""Absolutely sir. Anything else?"I bit my lip, thoughts turning serious for a moment. "

Claire's POVI rushed into the office, my heart still racing from the phone call with Lucas. A dinner date. Tonight. The thought made my stomach flip with nerves and excitement."Well don't you look happy," Anna said as I walked in, a big smile on her face. "Good news?"I couldn't stop the grin that spread across my face. "Lucas asked me out tonight. To someplace really nice."Anna jumped up and hugged me tight. "Claire, that's great! You so deserve this after everything with that awful Chloe."My smile slipped a bit at her name. I still couldn't forget how she ruined our last date, all the terrible things she said.Anna squeezed my hand. "Hey, tonight will be different. I know it. She wouldn't try anything like that again.""I really hope so." I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. "Actually...I was hoping you could watch Brian tonight? I don't want to bring him, just in case...""Of course!" Anna said right away. "You know I love spending time with the little guy. We'll hav

CHLOE'S POVIt has been a busy day trying to figure out where and when to begin the whole plan with Kelvin "I can't wait for him to get more frustrated." I smiled as I shook my glass slowly before pouring the content into my mouth.There was this joy leaping in my heart, I felt less stress when I realized that I was actually getting everything under control.My sleepless nights weren't a bad night after all. I will use them to fight against those that said I was weak...One of them is dead already."Ma'am, your coffee." One of the men handed over the cup of coffee to me."This is warm.." I took the cup from him and took a sip and continued with what I had to admire."Just like she died like a puppet, just looking, she begged for Mercy, and she found none. I will make every one of them be that way." I clenched my teeth.My phone vibrated, I felt reluctant to pick it up but then I remembered that I had so many people around getting me informed about everything that was happening."Who

LUCAS POVI had to fight so many pains during the day and night. I drank myself into a stupor and got help from the least expected person who happened to have another plan in mind. "I don't have to be this way anymore. I have a lot of things to do." I tried to convince myself to drink.My parents are very good at observing, so I think by now they must have known that I have been active these days.They will probably be thinking it is about my worker who died."It's about him anyway." I stared at my reflection in the mirror.I cleaned my eyes and tried to get out of my mess. There is no time to be crying over anything. The paper in my hand was evidence that Brian was my child.For a second, I was lost in thoughts again; the bang on my door brought me back to reality. I fluttered my lashes a thousand times trying to get out of what I was thinking."Who is there?" I folded the paper in two halves and put it in my safe."Lucas!" Mom's sounded terrifying.I scoffed and reached for the doo

KELVIN'S POVIt's been years since I found peace in being alone and not letting anyone in.The great morning, just when I was about to start my daily routine I heard a knock on the door.I don't know who I was expecting apart from the man that picks up the trash. I dressed just like I had always dressed, I didn't put on too much.With the cup of coffee I opened the door, I found who I least expected. Someone I don't even know from anywhere.The elegant woman in front of me looked at me in shock and couldn't say a word. We bantered with our eyes for a few minutes before she could finally say a word.She introduced herself to me but I spent a lot of time trying to process what she was saying.The whole “our” in the sentence was getting me confused.“Lucas!!” She called his name and the atmosphere suddenly changed.There was an awkward silence between us, I wasn't the only one whose mood was changed because of the name that she just mentioned.She is affected too, her mood, her eyes, eve

CLAIRE'S POVThe words Lucas said to me kept replaying in my head. I couldn't get it off my head, my day went bad, I could barely think like a normal human talkmore of responding to questions that were asked.Right from when I drove off until when I got home, I have been distracted with the things that replayed in my head."I need a quiet time, I do not want anyone or anything?" I instructed the maid and the security there before I entered my room."Yes ma." They nodded and proceeded with what they were doing.I fell on my bed and sobbed. All the years I hid this from Lucas, it finally came to light."How he found out is the worst way someone would find out something. I mean I will literally act the same way"Lucas.." I slowly called out the name as I bit my pillow hard so I would not be heard. "Ma?" I heard a knock on the door I immediately cease to cry, I really want to hit the bastard head off. I gave an instruction and now someone is knocking?"What the fuck is going on there?"

CHLOE'S POVMy eyes needed to get off that but here I was talking and looking down to admire.“Umm…it would help me if you tie a towel or better still put on a Short.” I smiled nervously.He scoffed and licked his lips. “I don't even know who you are, why are you giving me instructions?” He shrugged.“If you need to know who I am…then I need to concentrate.” My eyes went down there again.That isn't helping matters at all.He left the door wide open, I guess that was a sign to come in.I slowly walked into the house and inspected the whole place with just a glance.“So, what or who do you say you are?” He asked, putting on his trousers.I cleared my throat now that I had come back to my right senses.“You must be Kelvin?” I smiled.“Are any of your children missing?” He opened his arms.He sounded sarcastic and annoying at the same time. I faked a smile just so that I could get what I wanted.“What?” He cleaned my eyes with his palms.“Are you still lost? Do I have to wear a garment t

CHLOE'S POVAll my life I have never had a great opportunity to like this. I stalked Lucas' house because I knew she was going to come around, I wasn't wrong.Claire came to meet Lucas, and after some minutes, she left the house; her face when she drove past me showed there was a little problem between them."Well, she would stay longer if she had no problem with him. So...." I smiled as everything was like a book open at me.I snapped and turned off my engine to get into the house. I don't know what I was going to say, but with the way he was hurt, he would definitely want someone around, it might not be me, but I'm the only available person right now.Chloe.." he called out slowly.He was soaked with the wine that he drank. I've not seen him in this state before...I couldn't say a word, I took the drink and helped him with the wounds until it was morning.It was easier to make him have me that night but I chose to let him heal from what he was going through that night.He stood up

LUCAS POVThis is surely a day of pain and heartbreak, I don't know how to escape it. Playing strong was the best idea until Charles died; how was I going to fix it?I have put him in many risks, and now he is finally gone; I can't even explain what happened."More drink, please; I don't want to ask for these things again. They should be here." I ordered the maid that walked to and fro.I couldn't go back to my father's house. That was a big load for me, I don't know how I was going to explain anything to them.Especially my dad. He would want to beat the shit out of me, he can't do it but his actions would change."Here Sir." I felt tipsy and began to imagine things that would properly never happen in this life."Someone is here to see you, sir..." One of the securities came to inform Me.Before I could think of a response to give to him, Claire came in.My eyes widened and it looked like I just saw my problem standing right in front of me.She acted as she has always been acting, i

CLAIRE'S POVThe news left me in great shock, I couldn't get over it. My head was stuck with going to check on him and know how he was doing.I don't know how he was going to react seeing me, that is something else that kept me away from going there.It's a new day, and all through the night, I have been thinking about Lucas and the things he just lost.“Get my bathtub ready. I will need to go out soon.” I instructed the maid immediately after I got out of my room.“Mom? Where are you going?” So bad of me not to know that he was there.Now I have to find a perfect lie to say to him.“That's not the greetings I expected from you, Brian.” I squat to his level.“Sorry about that mom, good morning. But I still want to know where you ought to leave me?” He looked sorry for a second, and the next minute, he was so concerned about something else.“I am an adult and I can go anywhere I wish. Just don't get worried, I'll be back home before you know it.” I faked a smile.“Mom…you promise to ta

CLAIRE'S POVI couldn't stop panicking until I got to the office. Even when I got there I still had this fear hovering around me.Chloe was my nightmare, she would literally torture me anytime she got the chance. I am so mindful of the way I do things, Lucas is mad at me and there's no hope that he would want to go through any stress for me again.“Good morning ma'am.” A worker greeted me.I was supposed to answer that but I suddenly remembered what Chloe said about the workers in my Company. I don't know who to trust and who not to. My head was scattered and so fucking noisy that I thought of running away and nothing else.*"Come on, why are you acting so surprised? No one around you is to be trusted.”*The words came lurking in my head. It felt like I was trapped in that sentence.“I need to fucking breathe.” I rushed to the office.Mirabel was trying to comply with the documents and other papers I had no idea about.“Good morning ma'am.” She greeted me without lifting her head up.
