Pregnant For The Billionaire. Chapter Ninety-One.
"Where is she?"Pushing a lump down her sore, dry throat, Joan asked. For some reason, she’d escaped eye contact with the woman before her. She had luscious dark red hair just like that photo she’d seen of Miranda and that was not the only feature common to the both of them.It wasn’t exactly rocket science that she was her daughter. “I’m Emma” She’d introduced the moment she pushed open the doors and Theo sauntered right behind Joan whose countenance had fallen beyond. He stole casual glances from the corner of his eyes and even his unconcerning veneer was very unbelievable.He saw how bereaved she was as she sat into the caramel brown couch and Emma had walked back to her with a cup of coffee. The farmhouse bungalow was eerily silent and occasionally the winds that blew in swayed the cream curtains side by side. Joan was in the couch, just opposite Emma but Theo was standing with his back wedged against the walls.His arms were folded, just like hers.“Where is she?” Was the questi

Isabella Evans arose from her bed with a forceful jolt, realizing her whole life wasn’t just a nightmare like she’d hoped it was.“Shit” She cussed the moment she took the newspaper in her hands to see the unapologetic headline that couldn’t have been any more invasive and insulting to her. Running her hands through her hair, even summoning a deep breath seemed to be such a task.Alas when she finally brought her feet to reach the ground, Isabella contemplated dialing the two men who had been dragged through the mud because of her. Her hands quivered but out of fear of the uncertainty—the fear that neither of them would want nothing to do with her anymore.God, she did ruin everything that came within her reach.And now, she hated everything. She hated that the paparazzi had put her in such a position, stuck between two walls when all she wanted really was a normal life to begin with. Foolish of her to have thought she left them behind in Norman.She remembered when it happened with

“The city’s really magical from up here.” With the lights illuminating her dark brown eyes and her ankles swinging from several inches above the lopsided grasslands, Joan said. Her hands wedged beside her, holding her up as she lent her gaze to the towering buildings of Los Angeles——most of the roofs piercing into the starlight skies blanketing over them. A crinkle crept to the corner of her lips and when Theo moved closer, her head rested so naturally upon his shoulders. The winds were merciless at this height but she had his jacket which she held around her frame and her hair which dropped across her face. She was seated upon the L, of Hollywood and him, on the Y.He’d made it obvious how uncomfortable he was, but it was a price to pay to enjoy this moment with her. For the first time, she didn’t have a million things racing her mind, and although she’d met her mother’s family, had lunch with Jazzy and Daniel, none of it really stayed with her.Rarely, except this moment was she

“This has been my favorite restaurant since we got to Los Angeles”Jazzlyn took her seat across the table from Joan with her hands held tightly over Daniel’s. Unconsciously, it was something Joan’s gaze fell upon as she sat into the chair as well. She was in a silk drapy black dress and a pair of sandals that were only just a brisk away from underdressed to go with. However, her face really popped with the light makeup she had on.It was nothing fancy, just a dinner with Jazzy and Daniel since they were to leave back for Norman the next day. Theo hadn’t changed, he’d wore his brown jacket over a white tshirt and a cowboy hat which rested at the corner of the table. Joan’s gaze lingered past it and met with Jazz’s before an exhale fled her lips.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” She flashed a smile.It was, it was a sight not too far from the Hollywood sign and the winds that breezed across from here were gentle and warmly scented. There was also a slow rhythm of blues from the vinyl and a s

THIRTY YEARS AGO.“May God give to us and all whom we love his comfort and his peace, his light and his joy, in this world and the next; and the blessing of God almighty, the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon us, and remain with us this day and forever” “Amen” There was a loud chorus from the congregation.There were also flowers everywhere, of many colors but the most of which were black. Black was everywhere, filling the air with grief and loss. There were a bunch of long, sad faces which looked upon the open casket as it lowered into the grounds.Emily couldn’t watch the most of her father’s funeral and so she clenched her sister’s palms. “Majorie is it over yet?” She asked. Maj was the stronger of the both of them—holding her shoulders high enough for Em’s chin. She cleared her throat and then muttered a response.“It’s over now” She whispered.“He’s not with us anymore” At her words, Emily lifted her gaze up to meet Majorie’s moist eyes. “So what happens now?” She lo

THIRTY YEARS AGO."I met someone."Majorie arose to lean against her bed, she fisted the duvet in her hands as her eyes were met by her sister’s. Emily twirled her hair and her cheeks had gone red by just thinking of Gerald. He was perfect and unlike anyone she’d ever been with.“I left you a night” Maj rolled her eyes and they shared a chuckle. She stood from her own bed, sauntering right into Majorie’s own and tucking herself beneath the sheets. “He’s gorgeous, he’s funny and sweet. His gentle and when we kissed, it was the first time i felt these butterflies.”“Like the ones in the books” She gleamed and by the gaze in her eyes, Majorie could tell Emily was already gone—she was completely swooned by this man she’d only met. Her descriptions weren’t bad, in fact they were nearly perfect but Maj had a crinkle come between a cautious gaze.“What is it?” Em budged her in her hands.“I just want you to be careful, you know” She whispered but Emily blew raspberry while rolling her eyes t

THIRTY YEARS AGO.“You have brought nothing but shame to this family!”Klaus was outraged as his eyes wandered over Emily. She stood at the far left corner of the living room with her hands held tightly into each other and her chin facing the grounds. There were shrill murmurs that echoed in the household and Majorie was the first to step forward.“That’s enough” She gripped unto her sister’s palms but Klaus struck her away. “You stay out of this, unless you want to be sent packing as well” He threw her a death glare and she let go of Emily who sobbed. Her hands slid over her bulging stomach as she avoid his terrorizing eyes.Klaus inched closer and grazed her chin with his cold, callous fingers. “You are carrying a child for a man who’s yet to married—a man who you knew was engaged, now what is the society going to say about you”“What are they going to say about us?” He gritted through his teeth, turning her face harshly away. “Klaus!” Emily’s mother called his name with a scared e

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

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
