My CEO's Baby Mama He knows
BellaMy heart was racing fast and I turned to look at Hardin with fear in my eyes. If it was Xander, we would both be dead.“Who’s there?” I answered, trying to get a clue as to who it was but nobody answered. It was Xander, for sure.I sighed heavily when I opened the door and realized that it was only Mary, my new assistant here in Miami.She stood there, smiling bashfully at me. Her smile pissed me off but there was nothing I could do. She was excessively shy and that's why she didn't respond when I asked who was at the door.“Ma'am, the boss requests your presence downstairs.”“Why does he want to see me? He never has requested my presence before,” I thought to myself, imagining the worst.I was glad he did anyway. It was the perfect escape from Hardin.“In a minute. Hold on for me.”I walked briskly to get the easiest dress I could find then I realized that I hadn't even completed my bath! Even my hair was still a mess.“Let's go, Mary,” I said to the young woman, turning back t
My CEO's Baby Mama Bernice snitched?
Bella He rolled his eyes as he grabbed a handkerchief from the bedside drawers to wipe his face. I know I should have apologized but I didn't have much of a shock absorber built in my system. “Is this going to be a regular thing?” He said spitefully and I could tell that he was upset. “I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to— Wait, you knew?!” “You really do think I'm an idiot, don't you?” I placed my hands over my belly and looked at him, catching his intense stare. “How— how long have you known?” I managed. The way he looked at me made me a little uncomfortable and I stood up from beside him. “Since day one,” he answered gently. I wondered why he was so casual about it. “Is that why he hasn't tried to touch me?” I came up with assumptions in my head, justifying his actions. “I hope you haven't been nursing thoughts of running away with my baby. I can't bear the thought of having my baby sleeping in the street. You're carrying a Rivera.” “Tsk! Drama queen.” He added. He
My CEO's Baby Mama Revelations
Bella “Why did you tell him?” I asked again, gently this time. She didn't say anything, but I knew she was still on the call because I could hear her breathe. Her breaths were slow and lacked coordination which was how she reacted when she was tense and had something heavy on her mind. “Well, out with it!” I shouted, losing the little patience I had. “He made me do it,” she finally spoke very quickly. I could tell that she shut her eyes when she did. “He made you do what?” I said, almost in a whisper. The way the conversation progressed scared me. My life had been full of more downs than ups and if for anything, I knew this was going to be a ‘down’. I clenched my fist, ready for whatever was coming. “He threatened me if I didn't do it….” “Do what? You're not telling me anything, Bern. Help me out! Did he threaten to kill you? Did he molest you? What?!” “He had been following you around for a long time. According to what he told me, he's been following you around for about
My CEO's Baby Mama A Date with Bruce
Bella “I don't want to see him, Mary,” I tried to sound as impolite as possible, just so she would understand how serious I was. “Tell him that I don't want to see him,” I added, maintaining a stern expression that I didn't even know I had. I needed to show him that I wasn't some piece of property he had bought at the dollar store. “Bu— but, ma'am,” Mary stammered. Her smile had disappeared for the first time. “You heard me, Mary! I'm not interested in whatever he has to say tonight. I'll see him tomorrow.” “Please…He said it's urgent.” “Mary! Do you still want your job? I'm not going to see him and that's final. Let him know that— he's not my master, nor am I his slave. I am his wife and I can choose not to come.” I had run out of breath as soon as I had finished my impromptu epistle. “Okay, ma'am. I'll go let him know now.” “Good. Ensure to shut the door behind you properly.” —Not like she's ever left it unclosed. I wondered how Xander was going to react when he got the
My CEO's Baby Mama Am I in love with two men?
Bella He leaned back into his seat and his brows furrowed. He had never imagined that I would react that way and it was obvious that this wasn't one of my tantrums —it was as real as could be. He fixed his expression as he watched me turn around to leave the house. Mary ran towards me with a lunch bag which I presumed carried my breakfast. “Should I go after her, Sir?” Xander's right hand man whispered but not low enough. As I opened the door, I knew he had told the man to let me be because no one came after me. I felt a wave of guilt wash over me as I sat in the car during the long drive to the company. “I shouldn't have been so rude.” I exhaled loudly and closed my eyes. Something nudged me to send him an apology text message or something but I pushed it away. “He never apologized to me when he was being mean,” I thought to myself. I recalled the events of last night and how Bruce made me laugh until I fell asleep. It felt good after a long period of toxicity. I ha
My CEO's Baby Mama Friends?
Bella My heart stopped for a moment and I didn't even turn to face him. The tone of his voice pissed me off, even more than his mean words.“Fucking? It was only a friendly date,” I tried to explain even though I didn't need to. We obviously weren't doing anything that serious. I wondered why he always blew things out of proportion.He didn't even care that the person he called, ‘Tom, Dick and Harry’ was standing right there!“I don't give a shit, Bella! It doesn't matter who you want to be with, you signed a contract and you can't be seeing other people while we're married but I'll cut you some slack. Since you're so horny, as soon as you deliver my baby, you can run off with whomever you please.”“Xander!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. “Stop it, alright?” I was starting to feel a thorn in my throat. “I've had it up to here with you. I'm not some object. I understand that all you want is the baby because you…have made it very clear.”“Good!” He said, turning around to leave.“X
My CEO's Baby Mama Death— the inevitable
BellaI stared at his outstretched arm for a solid minute, wondering if I should take it or not. I couldn't trust him. This could be another trap and I just couldn't tell what the man seated before me was thinking. I studied his eyes for a moment, trying to find truth in them. Nope. It was just the same dark expression. I decided to take it. I didn't have much of a choice. It was either we lived in peace for two years, or I lived in total pain for the same two years. I couldn't back out. A deal was a deal.I let out a slow exhale before extending my hand.“Friends,” I muttered under my breath and I saw him smile—a kind of smile that didn't reach his eyes. He stood up immediately, dropping the basket on my bed.My stomach rumbled and I grabbed it quickly as if to stop the sound from reaching his ears. A sigh of relief escaped my lips when he didn't say anything about it.“Your maternity leave from work begins today. I don't want to see you anywhere in and around the office. Is that
My CEO's Baby Mama A Stupid Prank
Bella I saw my mother in her default state: coffee in one hand, legs crossed, and her free hand stroking the cat on her lap in her rocking chair. “That is so not the face of someone who's mourning her dead husband, is it?” I thought to myself ignoring the noise of my heels clicking on the tiled floor, echoing across the quiet house. I didn't take off my sunglasses because my eyes were still quite swollen and it was the last thing I wanted them to see. “Hey baby!” She said excitedly upon seeing me walk in, smiling so brightly. I wished I could pretend to have not heard those words because I almost puked at the sound of it. “I am not your baby!” I uttered harshly, still standing at the door. “Where's the funeral?” I asked, looking around the house with my brows knitted. “Where's Beth?” I knew that this woman was definitely up to something. They have always been schemers from the start and that day was certainly no exception. “Calm down, my darling,” she carefully placed t

My CEO's Baby Mama Mystery
Daniel Scarlet Vine loomed before us as we stepped out of the car, its neon sign pulsing in the night like a heartbeat. A club for the elite, it was said that a night with one of its infamous escorts could cost more than a middle-class man earned in six months. Courtney slipped her arm through mine as we approached the entrance, her touch light but possessive.“Please protect me from the men in there, Tom Cruise,” she teased, her voice laced with irony.I ignored her, keeping my eyes ahead. We navigated through the throngs of dancers on the floor. A tall man in dark glasses materialized without uttering a word. He nodded for us to follow, and we did, threading our way through the maze of bodies until he led us to a secluded game room.The room was empty, save for the remnants of someone else's night—a pool table with a triangle of balls still in place, a table tennis setup with the net discarded, and empty cups scattered across the surface, the aftermath of a game of beer pong. Anoth
My CEO's Baby Mama An Act
Daniel I pulled away the moment the car started moving, scrubbing my lips against my sleeve as if it mattered. The woman beside me, who I'd just kissed, was smiling widely, her eyes dancing with amusement."Don't even think about saying anything," I snapped, but I knew she wouldn't care."You really know how to put on a good show," she chuckled, her voice light, teasing."Oh, shut up.""Is that how you treat a woman you just kissed so passionately?" she mocked, her expression exaggerated, almost playful.I didn't respond. Instead, I turned to the window, watching the city blur by in streaks of neon and darkness. It was a Friday night, after all. People were pouring out of office buildings, heading to bars, clubs, wherever they could lose themselves for a few hours.But I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the office. About that text from Bella.Bella had texted me earlier, asking me to come by. I wasn't planning to—there were more urgent things on my mind. The text above h
My CEO's Baby Mama Murder
Bella I spun around just as the door flew open, and the sight before me made my heart drop. There she was—Lilian—bound and gagged, struggling to speak but only managing muffled, frantic noises. A huge man with a buzzcut was dragging her inside, his muscles bulging as if they could snap her in half. He was trailed by a much smaller, wiry man, nervously shifting his weight from one bony arm to the other, his tank top a strange choice for someone so frail. “Here she is,” Buzzcut announced, tying Lilian to a chair with a roughness that made me wince. Xander slipped his phone back into his pocket, nodding in approval like this was the most normal thing in the world. “What’s... what’s the meaning of this?” I stammered, confusion and horror swirling inside me. “Why is she... Oh my God, is that her bone sticking out of her leg?” I gasped, the sight turning my stomach. “She’s the one who sabotaged my dad’s company,” Xander said, his tone cold. I shot him a glare. “You mean my compa
My CEO's Baby Mama Proof
Bella“What are you doing here?” My voice came out in a breathless whisper, shock rendering me immobile.Xander was in my apartment, perched on a chair as if he'd been waiting forever. His disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes told a story of their own. He was still wearing the shirt from earlier, now stained with sweat, as if he’d thrown it on in a rush after our... encounter. But if he was in such a hurry, why hadn't he followed me? Why was he here now, looking like someone I barely recognized?He didn’t answer. Instead, he toyed with a loose thread on his sleeve, eyes cast downward.“Answer me, Xander!” I demanded, my voice rising. I wasn’t in the mood for one of his games, but there was something off about him. Something... different.Finally, he spoke, his voice low. “As you were running after David, I asked you something. You never gave me an answer.”My shoulders relaxed, just a little. “His name is Daniel.”“And I don’t give a fuck what his name is,” Xander snapped, his voice sud
My CEO's Baby Mama An Endless Circle
Bella“You pushed me away like you always do, Xander. You make me feel like I’m someone to you, then trash me. I’m a woman and I have needs. I want surprise flowers and a new dress with a note that says, ‘Dinner at nine’. Daniel was there for me. It’s the least I can do.” I said all of that in one breath before dashing out. I made for Daniel’s house, speed walking without taking a single moment to see how Xander reacted. I kept scratching my hair like I had lice. The rain wasn't helping either. I was drenched but it didn’t matter. I didn’t know what I was going to say to him when I found him. I just wanted to look into his eyes and feel them.I didn’t have to walk too far. I stopped at the glass doors to the popular bar. I watched him take a huge gulp of his cheap beer before yelling at the bartender to get him three more. What had I done? I broke him.“Daniel, I didn’t know you drank,” I said in a low voice, standing a little away from where he sat at the bar counter. He didn’t look
My CEO's Baby Mama Daniel Or Xander
Bella“Ma’am?” Rita, Xander’s assistant, called out to me, and it looked like she had been watching me for a while but I was so lost in thought that I didn’t notice. “What are you doing here? You have someone here as well?”Thank goodness she gave me the sweetest lie ever. All I had to do was nod slowly in agreement. Nana was someone to me too so it wasn’t really a lie.I gave off a sigh of relief. I should have known Xander was never one to give away flowers to random women. I gave her a quick smile and turned to leave. I couldn’t face Nana after lying on her grave and I didn’t have any flowers to offer too.“You’re leaving?” Rita called out. She clearly wasn’t someone who knew how to mind the business that paid her and that was to drop off the flowers.“Yeah, I remembered that I left something really important at the office. I’ll need it tomorrow. You know how the boss gets.”I didn’t really forget anything at the office but I wanted space and I didn’t want to go home. Lately, the a
My CEO's Baby Mama A Broken Promise
Xander“Hi Xander,” the private investigator I had hired two days ago, said over the phone. “We have found the person who sabotaged your wife’s company. What should we do with her?”A woman, huh? I didn’t think it would be a woman. I pulled the phone away from my ears slowly. “Maybe Beth?” I thought, peering out the window. I thought it was Hardin for sure. I guess I judged too quickly.Whoever it was, I decided that I had to teach her a lesson. Just a small one to teach her and everyone else, to stay away from my woman. “You know what to do. Hand her over to my men and they’ll take it from there."I hung up the phone and dialed another number immediately. “They’ve found her. I want her alive but in a state that will please me. If she can still walk, you’re fired.”I was about to leave the office when Hardin pushed the door open and walked in. He appeared furious but I really didn’t care. “What?” I asked him, grabbing my keys off the desk. I had somewhere to be and I could sense that
My CEO's Baby Mama Working With Him Is A Hassle
Bella"You're late!" He roared when I got to the company three minutes after eight. "This is why your company's struggling. Work starts by eight. What are you teaching your employees?"What the..."It's only a few minutes after—""It doesn't matter. I see you grew lazy when you stopped working for Versa Link. I'll have to teach you discipline, again because I won't have you acting however you want in my company." His company? Isn't it our company? I ignored curious glances from everyone as I walked to the board room for the introductory meeting. I took my seat at the designated area and took a deep breath.I was about to open my laptop when the doors opened and he walked in. He was late by a minute. I squinted my eyes at him but I couldn't afford to let my emotions show so I fixed my face."Good morning everyone. You are all aware that Versa Link now has control over Rivera group. I look forward to working closely with you all."I noticed exaggerated giggles and smiles from some of th
My CEO's Baby Mama Terms And Conditions
Bella His name is Daniel! I shouted in my mind but that was the least of the current problems. “Unless of course there’s a reason why you can’t?” He continued, leaning towards me. What was he trying to get out of me? “He’s one of the best people on our team.” I really hoped that was going to cut it. “He’s hardworking and intelligent and—” “I have a head of operations myself and as you know, I don’t employ lazy or unintelligent people. Mine will serve excellently.” Damn it! “Unless there’s another reason why—” “I can’t, Xander. He has been loyal to the company. He stuck with us through the good and bad. I can’t just kick him out. That will be utterly unfair.” My palms were already sticky from the sweat I produced in the well ventilated room. This man drove me crazy. How do I tell Daniel that he's fired from the company? I hope Xander changes his mind and there’s some humanity in that broad chest. He stood up and buttoned his suit. “I have a meeting soon so make this quick.”
