Pregnant with the Billionaire Enemy's Child 10
RAFAELI flung the cup of whiskey on the wall as soon as I entered into the study and I watched it shattered into a million pieces.“Fuck!” I yelled out, thinking about how stupid I had been.She had been deceiving me all this time and for some weird reason I hadn’t seen it. I had given her the benefit of doubt and a part of me had started to believe that she actually had no idea where her father was but then, there was no explanation for that photo.He was in it, which meant he was in close proximity with her and knowing Hermes, there was no way he would be that close to her and not reach out. It was totally impossible.I sat down on my chair, as I thought about everything. My reaction to everything had been extremely stupid. I had felt I would be able to keep everything in but when I had confronted her about it and she lied, a switch inside my head had flipped. At that moment, all I could see in her was her father and it made me sick to my stomach.She no doubt suspected that someth

ATHENAOur eyes were locked on each other and I was in extreme shock when I saw him just standing there staring down at me as I read the book I was planning on picking up from the store. So many questions ran through my head at that moment.He had told me I was given free rein to move around as I pleased so why was he still following me? How did he even know where I was in the first place? Perhaps it was a coincidence but knowing Rafael Hall, there was no such thing as a coincidence.“What are you doing here?” I asked immediately, getting up from the chair to face him with the book still in my hand. “How did you know where I was?”He looked at me for a couple of seconds and then brushed past me without saying a word. I watched him pace around the store, looking around as if he was searching for something or someone.“What is the meaning of this?” I voiced out again, extremely irritated at this point.I knew that the store was a place I had to be quiet in but at that moment, I could ca

RAFAELI watched the glass shatter once again, this was becoming kind of like a daily ritual at this point and I hated it so much. Why was I letting all of this affect me so much?Over the past couple of days, I could feel my irritation at everything grow at an extremely rapid pace. A pace that even I couldn’t keep up with. None of this would have happened if that stupid guard didn’t lose sight of her in the first place.I paced around the room thinking about everything. I had already had ample time to think about it all through the drive home and I realized that my reaction had been extremely wild. After all I had been the one who had given her free rein to do whatever she wanted to do so me showing up where she was would definitely raise some red flags in her mind.A part of me had hoped that she would be meeting up with her father wherever she was. It had been the only thought that was in my head when I was searching for her. I felt she was going to quickly arrange for a meetup and

ATHENAI was walking back to the room after excusing myself from the dining table, the whole vibe around there was too much for me to take. The two of them seemed like they were just waiting for me to leave in order to start talking. I thought about eavesdropping on their conversation but then there was no point in me doing that and there was no way I could do that because of how the dining room was structured.All I could do now was head back to the room, but then I couldn’t still shake that feeling that I knew his friend from somewhere. Ever since I saw his face, it had been on my mind like a tape that was stuck and didn’t want to play. I knew the answer was just right there but for some strange reason my brain was finding it extremely hard to assess that particular memory.Could it have been a party? Or a gathering? Did we talk to each other?I stood there for some seconds pondering about it. It was obvious that I was not buying his whole story about him having a familiar face and

RAFAEL“Go after her and do not let her out of your sight. If she attempts to escape or do anything to stupid then you inform me and make sure it doesn’t happen. Do you understand me?” I asked Ellen,She simply nodded in affirmation and left the study after Athena. She had shown that she couldn’t handle the freedom which I had let her enjoy so I was going to reverse everything and return it back to how it was before. Lock her up and make sure she doesn’t leave anywhere. If this was how she wanted it then I would happily let it be like this.I couldn’t believe that I had been stupid enough to leave my door open for her to be able to come in and snoop around. It was a rookie mistake, one that I never made. It was very obvious at this point that I was off, something was messing with my normal rhythm and I had no idea what it was. This business with Hermes was definitely getting into my head and that was why I was this determined to end everything.“I just saw the girl.” Hernandez said, a

ATHENAThe room felt very clustered and choking to me as I continued pacing around trying to figure out what to do. At this point it was very obvious that Rafael was hiding something from me and I couldn’t shake that feeling it was something very serious. A lot of scenarios were running through my mind but apart from the picture of me that he had which he had refused to talk about, there was nothing really concrete that I had found out.My head was spinning because of all the thoughts that were playing out in my head and I was finding it really hard to breathe at all. I needed to take a walk at least to clear my head or something. I couldn’t afford to stay cooked up in this room forever.Ella was standing in the hallway right in front of the door as soon as I opened it and she greeted me with a smile. I smiled back and brushed past her. It wasn’t until I did this that I noticed she was following right behind me.“Do you have something for me?” I asked, turning to face her.“No ma’am.”

“So that’s his plan, after all. I always knew he was smart but I didn’t expect him to take things this far in his pursuit of revenge.”Hermes king’s voice came through the phone clear as day. Hernandez had explained everything there was to him and he had been very impressed with Rafael’s plan. Over the past few months he had watched Rafael and admired his dedication towards taking him down.In his line of work he had expected that people would not quite be happy about how he did business and all but he had never once expected someone to pull off a direct assault such as this. When he had heard his daughter was missing, he had completely freaked out.Who would do such a thing? He had thought. Panic had filled his entire mind because the only reason he had left in the first place was to try and keep her safe but apparently that had in no way worked. When he had heard that the man who was hunting him was Rafael, one of his most promising experiments back then, he had immediately understo

ATHENA“That is not possible.” My father said, as his eyes widened in horror as he stared at the gradually growing baby bump.This was the very first time I was conscious about how I looked and I noticed that the bump on my stomach was actually getting visible. I thought it would wait for some extra months before it made itself known but apparently, I was wrong.“Yes, it is.” Rafael replied, he had this sick smile on his face as he looked into my dad’s eyes who was clearly glaring at him like he wanted to rip his head off.“You know that is not possible, especially not after everything that happened. She can’t be carrying your child and the both of us know this for a fact.”Things were getting even more heated as we were on the stage and I saw the auctioneer signal to Rafael, whispering something in his ear as he slowly gestured towards the crowd of people. Even though they were trying their best to talk in hushed voices while on stage, it had become quite obvious to members of the au

EPILOGUETHREE MONTHS LATER“He is so beautiful.” Athena said, as she lifted up their baby and spun him around in the air.The past months after the baby had come had been nothing short of magical. She couldn’t stop staring at the baby and she thought about how different her life was now from how it had been just a couple of months ago. They were at a point of peace and Rafael had magically transformed into the sweetest person on the earth. She now saw him smile a lot, especially when he played with Jaden. They had both chosen the baby’s name together after a lot of arguments. It had been a funny scene to witness but at the end of the day, they had settled for Jaden and it was a name that suited him so well.“He has my eyes so of course he is going to look beautiful.” Rafael said, as he emerged at the door of the room.He had been standing there for a while watching his mother and Athena without them knowing. They were startled at first, but at this point they had gotten used to the f

RAFAEL“Watch your step.” I said, as I held her hands and led her into the house.She had absolutely refused my offers to carry her. In her words, she felt I had done enough. On the contrary, I felt I was yet to do enough. I was not sure if I could ever do enough to compensate for everything that I had put her through in the past few months. I felt it in my heart though, I was definitely ready to make amends for everything. That was the plan.The doctor had finally agreed to discharge her from the hospital and we got back to a welcome party from my mother. She had been extremely happy over the past few days. Ever since I told her the news at the hospital about how the baby might actually be mine, I realized that the glow which she had the first time she found out that Athena was pregnant had actually returned to her face. I couldn’t be hundred percent sure if I was the father, not until the baby was here and we were able to carry out a DNA test.I could feel it in my bones though. It

ATHENAMy eyes fluttered open, as I came to. A faint beeping noise continued to ring in my head, as I steered wondering where it was coming from. My equilibrium was still off and I had no idea what was going on around me. My mind felt like it was covered by a thick fog and it was very hard to get it clear. My eyelids felt extremely heavy and it was like they were being weighed down by invisible anchors. Finally, I was able to pry them open. It took some time for my eyes to get accustomed to the lighting in the room. There was a light which shone soft and dull right above my head, casting a pale glow across the room I was in.I looked around as it took me a moment to adjust, to process the white walls of the room it was in. There was the hum of machinery all around me, that was where the constant beeping sound was coming from and that smell. It was a very distinct smell which I recognized immediately. I had spent enough time in hospitals during my mother’s hospital to be able to recogn

“Athena!” Rafael yelled, as he rushed over to her side.He had watched her fall when he came out of the car and this had taken him completely by surprise. He knew that she could already tell exactly what had happened from the moment he stepped out of the car. The stench of failure was no doubt all around him and he had thought about it all through the drive to the house. He thought about how he was going to tell her that her father was dead and he had watched as Hernandez put a bullet through his head as he was unable to do anything about it. The mere thought of telling her such a thing troubled him so deeply and it showed on his face immediately he stepped out of the car.Without him saying a word, she could already tell that the worst had happened. The look in his eyes told more words than he could ever say. Athena had felt like she was going to cry, as if a great burden had just come upon her shoulder. A burden which was too heavy for her to bear. She felt like she was going to cru

RAFAELWe finally pulled up to the house and my mother was right outside to greet us. She was so happy that we made it out, as I watched her hug Athena deeply. She checked her to ensure that she was fine while she led her into the house. I could see a deep sadness on Athena’s face even though she tried her best to hide it for my mother’s sake. I could tell that she was greatly troubled about what happened to her father. Her words in the car kept on ringing in my head. She had asked me to help him and there was only one way I knew how to.Walking past them, I headed to my room upstairs and went straight to my wardrobe to bring out my box. This was where I kept my suit and weapons which I used when I raided Hermes’s warehouses. Every time I wore it, it meant that I was about to do something which I was not essentially going to be proud of. I stared at the box for a couple of seconds as I contemplated whether or not to open it. Questions danced around in my head as I wondered if doing th

The whole room seemed to be in a sort of chokehold, as everybody’s eyes bounced around. Hermes’s arrival had been quite unexpected to all of them and they had no idea what any of this meant or what he was doing here. From the way that he had burst in, his intentions could be told to some degree though. He was standing in between his two guards who had come into the room with him and he had a smile as he stared at the meeting which was going on at the table. Rafael most especially was very surprised by all that was going on. He wasn’t sure what to make of all of this as so many questions ran through his mind.He got up and walked over to Hermes as their eyes met.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Rafael asked,“And here I was thinking that you were an honorable man that I could trust, Mr Hall.” The investor said, as he sat up and adjusted his suit. “The last thing I was expecting was that you would bring the enemy right to my doorstep after you were the one that asked for this deal t

RAFAELAll through the night leading up to this, I found myself completely unable to sleep. This was certainly not a new phenomenon for me. Sleep had managed to elude me a lot during the past few days and I desperately hoped that I would finally be able to find rest when all of this was in the past. When Athena and the baby were safe and sound, I would finally be able to rest and think about everything. I had desperately avoided thinking about what Rachael had told me the other day. This whole time, I had not even considered the possibility that the child that Athena was carrying could be my own in any way. Initially I had seen it as a means to carry out my revenge on Hermes.Raising the child the way which he had raised me, that was what I had planned to do. That plan had since left my head, but then, I still had never considered the possibility of the child being mine. All I had thought was that the child was Athena’s ex’s and this had pissed me off so much for a reason that I was s

ATHENAEven as I sat bound to the chair with a bag over my head impeding my vision, the whole scene at the restaurant kept on playing in my head. I had seen the bullet go through Rachael as she slumped to the ground along with the gun which she had trained to my back. The whole thing had happened so fast and even though I had tried my best to get to Rafael, especially after hearing him screaming my name out loud, I wasn’t able to. I couldn’t get to him before the van pulled up beside me and the men tossed me in. As I sat in the room, I could still feel their presence all around me. I wondered who they were and nobody had bothered to tell me anything ever since we got to wherever this was. They had not spoken to me directly despite all the questions I threw their way. I was in a world where I knew no one and I struggled so hard to comprehend what was going on.I was sure of one thing though, these were completely different people from Rachael’s men. When we first got here, I had though

RAFAELWe all rode in silence as we headed to my house. Rachael was bleeding in the back seat and I had instructed one of my men to tend to her wounds. She kept staring at me without saying a word, but I could tell from the frown on her face that she was not pleased by anything that was going on. When I had offered her my assistance when she lay on the floor bleeding, she had initially tried to fight me. It had not been so much of a fight as her hand was not of so much use. The bullet was still lodged in there and I had already called the family doctor to meet me up at the house to perform a quick removal of it. The wound didn’t look entirely nasty and I was sure she was going to live through it.Hermes was not too pleased about my decision to keep her alive and he made this expressly clear. Even when I tried to place her in the back of the car, he expressly denied and insisted that he was not going to ride with someone who had been responsible for putting his daughter in harm. I coul
