Pregnant For The Billionaire. Chapter Ninety-Eight.
STILL THIRTY YEARS AGO.The night was long.So long that when Majorie opened her eyes, she realized it was just a little passed midnight. She turned to her side to see Emily holding unto her child and decorating kisses all over the little girl’s head. She let out a soft chuckle because it was the happiest she’d seen her sister be.“I thought you were sleeping” Emily said from across the room as soon as she heard her laughter and Majorie stood from the bed. “Actually, i was hoping that you were not” She added and a crinkle appeared between her eyes as she neared the hospital bed.“What happened?” Maj could tell that something was off.Especially the moment that Emily’s eyes began to mutter as she looked down to her child. Her color was a pale red and she was asleep—she had been asleep for the past few hours wrapped in that blanket.Peaceful.Not a lot of them were.“I think i know what i want to do.” Emily then lifted her gaze back to Majorie as she sat into the bed. “But first, i need

NOW.“Fifty million dollars!”Leonardo retired behind his desk with his face turned to the ground and his fingers sweeping through his hair. Harold was speechless that he had to lift back up his gaze.“Where the fuck am i going to get that amount of money?” Leo asked.“Even the inheritance is shit—this means we have to hold off on any plans we have for this building and the future of Starlight” He added and Harold heaved a deep sigh. “It’s going to require more than that, Leo”“Fifty million dollars means we might have to sell the company” There was an arrow that struck through this heart at Harold’s words and he rose from the chair. “That’s not an option, Harold” He clenched his jaw.Leonardo grabbed his jacket, sliding his arms through and then facing him squarely. “I might have to remind you that we don’t have many options.” Harold made him understand and he pushed a hard lump down his throat.“I’ll find someone i can talk to.”“Buy us some time, i mean i could get across to them—“

“Samantha Evans.”A hoarse voice sounded over the phone as she placed it against her ears. She was slouched against a cabin light-shed before lifting her feet upon the wooden portico. “Yes, Alex it’s me.” She whispered beneath her breath.“And i’m alone” As if knowing his next question, she added and then his voice was followed by a heavy bereaved breath. Alex was many things to Samantha, he was her insider from the District Attorney’s office and he was also the lawyer that found a way to free Colton.He was the one that lent her this desolate cabin in the center of a desert that wasn’t really anywhere on the map. And he called time to time when there was something to worry about but there was a slight change in his voice just then as he continued.“I’m afraid i have bad news” For someone with not so clean a conscience and a heart, the range of how bad a news could be to Samantha was wide. It was endless and as she smoked the blunt between her lips, melting the ice around her heart,

Emily’s fingers swiped across the dusty surface of the table, on which she leaned the several photos that she’d lifted up. The whole house was eerily silent since Isabella walked out the front doors with her coat.And although it had been several minutes, Emily still wanted to talk.She drew towards the kitchen tap, running her hands beneath the water and wiping it across a napkin. But all of a sudden, there was a shrill scream that alerted her from outside the windows. Immediately, she lifted her gaze, throwing it back at the door Isa had walked through.“Isabella” Emily mouthed.She charged towards the front porch, staggering her way down the steps and seeing a car pull away in the distance. Em halted, filling Isabella’s footsteps in the snow with hers and there was an uncanny feeling that immediately dawned on her. She searched her pockets for her phone but that was until she saw Isabella’s lying in the ground.It seemed like she was on a call which immediately hung up. But that w

“Are you okay, Isabella?” Her feet brushed into the fields as she pressed the phone against her ears. It was unbelievable that after what seemed to be such a long time, that she was finally talking to Joan.Her best friend sounded so different, it was that bad.And left to Isa, all she did was heave a deep breath because there was no way she could fathom the perfect words to narrate how her life had been a downslide the past few months—from Majorie, to Christian and the article. Her kids and somehow the latest which was her mother appearing out of thin air upon her front porch. “No, not really” Were the words she settled on as she shook her head.Isabella batted her lashes so hard to fight back the tears that wanted to fall but beneath her breath could hear Joan’s low sobs as well. It was obvious that she had been crying too.“You?”“Not really.” She replied and then the darning question that followed. “Are you in Riverdale?” She threw her head upon her shoulders to the house and t

“I made a whole list, narrowing down every fbi most wanted criminal that could possibly be the leader of the mob?” Harold threw gazes between Leonardo and his mother. “You think you’ll find that sort of thing on the internet?” Freya’s voice was hoarse and unkind. But Leonardo was as silent as a graveyard, his eyes fixated into the screen. “Everything is on the internet” Harold cleared his throat, looking through the faces that would strike a familiar chord.“Are these all?” Sheriff Stevens asked and there was a tone that made it obvious that they weren’t really getting anywhere with this. “These are the names that have been linked to the location from which that bloodied parcel came from?” Harold replied but was met with an even more grueling question.“What if we’re looking at the wrong people here?”“Obviously you don’t see a most wanted man roaming the streets of Chicago and how are we even sure that he’s wanted at all. He could have a clean slate with nothing the government has o

Joan barged through the emergency doors of the hospital right next to the bed on which Frederick was wheeled in with. Her eyes darted to the many faces of the paramedics that surrounded her and her foster father was handed over to a bunch of doctors.“We’ll take it from here” A hand struck out to her chest to hold her back and Joan suddenly began to breathe heavily because that meant since the ambulance, she was to finally let go of his cold hands. “Listen to me” The doctor faced her watery eyes and she recognized him from the first time she was here.She really needed this—a familiar face, and assurance. “Is he going to make it? Is he going to be okay?” She quizzed, holding firmly to the sleeves of his scrubs and Enzo pressed his lips together, afraid to give her an affirmative answer. The tear dropped down her cheeks but he grazed the corners of her Joan’s jaw to look into her eyes.“I know Frederick.”“He knows me, he knows i’m the best at what i do. I will try my best, Joan. You’

“Crosschecked the city’s database and found nothing under the name Ivan” Sheriff Steven muttered beneath his breath as he pushed in through the residential doors of Leonardo’s house. He saw both Ryan and Emily slouched in the corner of the dining room but Frye caught his attention more.“Seems like a dead end. So what should we be looking out for now?” She walked up the steps, turning to Leonardo as he corked open a bottle of beer. His hands ran through his hair before letting it fall across his face and he heaved a deep breath.“All i have are the same five people the police thinks could have sent the package” Stevens replied, placing the laptop in his hands to the table and for the first time, Freya seemed genuinely interested in what he had to say. He danced the cursor across the screen but something caught her attention immediately.“Wait wait, go back” Freya pointed her fingers to a photo that he skipped and Leonardo inched closer as well. “I know that man” She realized, turning

FIVE MONTHS LATER.Isabella gathered the hems of her flowing white dress as she heaved in a deep breath. Her face turned crimson with blood draining from her cheeks and she turned to Joan who was right beside her. "I'm so nervous" She whispered beneath her breath with her shoes grazing into the fields.There were roses all around them and they stood just behind the door yet to open. "The dress is beautiful, Isabella. You're perfect.” Joan whispered, being her maid of honor for her second wedding and they shared a chuckle."It's like a full circle moment" Isabella beamed a smile and Joan rested unto her arms."But it's different now" She said."Either way i'm glad i get to do this with you again. I'm glad i still have you" Isabella pushed a hard lump down her throat. "Have you thought about what Leonardo said?" She asked for the nth time and i remembered months ago when he told me of his plans to leave Norman.That it was up to me though, to decide what exactly a fresh slate meant."I

“Hey” Her soft voice drew to him as he brought his eyes to open. The incessant beeping of the heart monitor subdued behind her voice and Em inched closer to him. Gerald’s eyes were slow but the moment he recognized her, there was a large grin that spread across his lips. “I’m here” She comforted, leaning forward to place a kiss on his cheek.“You’re okay” Her hands pressed lightly on the wrapped gunshot wound in his chest and he nodded. “Isabella?” He softly asked and Em held his hands to her lips and with tears in her eyes, she nodded. “She’s okay—”“Everyone’s okay.”His hands fell around his wrist and there was the bracelet he’d gotten for her thirty years ago. Gerald’s eyes shimmered with tears as he gazed upon the beautiful beige dress she still wore. “You kept it” He whispered and Emily nodded her head fraily.“Of course i kept it” She smiled. There was a minute of silence between them as she wiped beneath her eyes but then Isabella knocked upon the doors before walking in. “You

Leonardo burst out the other side of the door and the heat from the serenading flames hit him in his face. He tied a cloth around his nose and he searched through his foggy vision to make out everything around him.It was a painstaking effort with his feet crunching into a piece of glass and the parts of the ceiling that had crumbled to the ground. “I say we take ahead!” Theodore yelled, looking at the only way still feasible. Leo choked but somehow managed to get himself in order in a minute.The sound of approaching sirens blared from outside the door but by the looks of it, they seemed still far away. He didn’t have time—and so did Isa. “Let’s go” He chanted and they filed down the corridor, searching each room for what was left. The whole house was dark, even as the skies were visible through the shattered roof. “Isabella!” He yelled at the top of his voice, taking down the mask across his face for a second. “Joan!” Theodore yelled too, in the hopes that she was here as well.“Is

TWENTY FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MIDNIGHT.The car finally came to a halt and from a distance walked Sheriff Stevens accompanied by both Christian and Theodore. In a world that had gone digital, it was surprising that they didn’t show up with a large bag of cash to submit to the mafia Lord but rather just a plain-old cheque.“You’re nothing like i expected” Constantin turned around when he suspected their footsteps had drawn them close enough. The sheriff met his cold gaze with a defensive stance. “I’ll say the same” He muttered and then his eyes roamed both Christian and Theodore who acted like bodyguards. “I thought i told you to come alone” He looked as far as the car but with the silence that enclosed them on this deserted coast, he was moreso convinced. “Do you want your money or not?” Stevens hissed back at him, pulling out the cheque from his pocket and Constantin scoffed from his lips. “I’m not stupid. Bring out all the hostages and then i’ll give you the money.” The sheriff negoti

Stevens dashed across the bordering sign that demarcated Norman and Riverdale with his hands firmly grasping the steering wheel. He was on the edge of his seat but somehow managed to steal a glance at the clock.ONE HOUR UNTIL MIDNIGHT.“We can still make it” Gerald piped forward, drawing the chair behind. Em was at the front seat and she allowed their eyes to meet in a tensive second. “It’s okay” Gerald whispered with an affirmative nod. “It’ll soon be over” He reached to her hands and Theo pushed a hard lump down his throat. All, that on his mind was Joan’s safety and whether or not she was okay. “Do you have the complete money now?” Emily turned to the sheriff, still reeling in the disbelief of how they raised a hundred million dollars in twenty four hours. He nodded, darting a stare back at her. “I mean Harold was the last. He was able to get an upfront deal of about forty for the shares of the Norman hotel. Christian wired my ten and Gerald as well—And your uncle transferred t

The slow jazz pierced through Emily’s ears as she wrapped her hands around Gerald’s neck. Indulged in the dance, she didn’t raise her head but that was until it was his turn to swing her. She moved her hips so elegantly like she was young again and after an hour, she admitted to be wrong because there was something about the dance that eased her tension. The music stopped and there was a round of applause, the same moment that allowed them to intimately look into each other’s eyes. “You were amazing” Gerald whispered but before Em could mutter another word, her eyes caught him.“Klaus!” She blurted out.There he was, by the bar downing a glass of champagne with a younger mistress in his hands. He was headed for the stairs and Emily fixated his eyes on him, unwilling to let him misplace in the colorful crowds. She tried to catch her breath and the hemming of her dress as she moved closer.This place was big, the walls a glittering gold with a low hanging silver chandelier dropping fro

Isabella awoke to a dimly lit candle in the corner of the room.The crimson orange flames flickered in her eyes with a slight pitter-patter sound of the wax burning. It curved to the side and just that single piece was able to warm the room, ridding it of it’s unconducive iciness. She shivered off the remnant cold as she sat up. The heavy chain followed even the slightest movement of her hands, letting out a thunderous clang as she retracted them. Her eyes met Kayla who was quivering in fear just opposite her. “It wasn’t there before” Isa’s voice interrupted the eerily silent room. Her eyes looked pointedly to the candle flame but then suddenly something fell right in front of her.“Oh my God” She clutched her chest, startled to her bones and Kayla let out a shaky scream. The pair of black rubber boots that sauntered towards her drew her attention before whatever it was that was thrown to her. “Take a look” The familiar voice towered over her and Isabella didn’t even need to lift her

“I’m sorry but Mr Sanders left a little while ago” The woman behind the desk pressed her lips together and it was a like a sword of disappointment struck through Emily’s chest. She batted her lashes and then exchanged glares with Gerald.“I’m sorry—to where?” She stuttered.Her hands reached across the counter and she tapped her fingertips into it. “And when will he be getting back?” She asked and the receptionist was a bit reluctant divulging any piece of information for these strangers in front of her. Emily saw the crinkle form between her eyes and a sharp breath escaped her lips.“Look i know you know who i am.”“If not from my last name then perhaps from Klaus telling you never to engage with his own niece if ever she came around. Short, brunette haired with the mouth like a tap is exactly how he would describe me—““I don’t know what you’re talking about” The lady replied.“Well i call bullshit” Emily cussed and Gerald found his hands holding her back. “My daughter, Klaus’ fucki

Leonardo snapped his eyes open with an agonizing pain spearing through his neck and along the veins of his numb limbs. He was carried by two hefty arms into a large, dark room and when he realized that his consciousness was regained after an hour long sedation, he struggled to break free from the grasps of the arms that restrained him. “Where’s Isabella!” Was the first question that he yelled out through his panting lips. He threw his head upon his shoulders as he was dragged, his feet barely an inch from the callous grounds. And then he was thrown in the deepest and darkest part of what seemed to be a dungeon. The beads of sweat that formed across his head tricked down his body and he wiped across his face, lifting his gaze to see the masked men in front of him. Leonardo was short of breath as he staggered to sit up, using his barely formidable arms as a wedge. He was able to lean against the wall as he searched for his breathes.“Where’s Isabella?” He looked around him and there d
