Hazel:

I turned to see Aaron staring at me, an unreadable expression on his face. He came forward and the maids immediately stood up the moment they saw him. These maids!

How could they do this to me?

I lowered my eye, embarrassed at how ruffled I look.

"Boss, we didn't know you'd be back so soon"Jessi said after giving a little bow.

"The trip has been postponed" Carlos immediately responded and then dismissed the maids.

He turned to me and smiled, "ma'am, I hope you had a great night, you look really good today" He teased and that earned him a glare from Aaron.

He quickly bowed and went upstairs. Now that I was left alone with Aaron, it was time to express my anger and ask him some of the questions on my mind.

"You didn't think you should inform me before embarking on a trip for a whole month?"

He pulled out one of the chairs and sat beside me. He took a quick glance at the food and then returned his gaze back to me.

"You look like you just fought with a tiger"

  • Ruthless Billionaire's baby bargain    Chapter 1: The betrayal

    Hazel's pov:I stood in front of the mirror as i admired my beautiful wedding dress that had thousands of tiny pearls designed on it. It was hand made from ZIMA fashion house, one of the top fashion companies in the country and also where I work as a designer. It took about a month and lots of hardwork and money to make this perfect dress. Beaming with so much excitement as I could remember how my mum always told me how I would look like a goddess in my wedding dress. Well.. she was right, I did look like a goddess, except that she wouldn't be here to witness me walk down the aisle with the love of my life. She passed away years ago and I am stuck with my dad who pays more attention to my step mom and her daughter.I am Hazel Carter, the 25 year old daughter of Bennett Carter. The owner of 'Bennets Bakery'. I would not call us rich but least we lived in our own house and I attended one of the best universities. I would say.. uh average, yes, we were an average family that was doi

  • Ruthless Billionaire's baby bargain    Chapter 2: The deal

    Hazel's pov: Beep. Beep. Beep I heard the beeping sound of the monitor and my nose was instantly filled with the smell of antiseptic. I forced my eyelids open and tried to adjust to the very bright light that shines directly on my face. Where am I? "Miss Carter, " I moved my head a little to see a young looking man in a long white coat staring directly at me "How are you?" He asked placing his index finger on one side of my neck.I didn't respond. Although it was hard but I still managed to move my head to look around my surroundings. A hospital ward. I tried to recall how I got here and my eyes met with the other people in the room. My dad stood at the edge of the bed along with Ivy and her mum who had this indifferent look on their faces.Although, I could picture worry and pity on my dad's face but there was also a look of disappointment and mild anger. What are they all doing here anyway? Are they here to mock and scold me again? "I_" I tried to say something but my thr

  • Ruthless Billionaire's baby bargain    Chapter 3: I'll do it

    Hazel's pov:I watched them from afar as they all danced and cut Ivy's birthday cake and my fingers tightened in annoyance. Since the payment for my surgery has not yet been made, I stayed at home. I wasn't allowed to remain at the hospital because the bills were piling up and my dad has refused to pay. I was now confined to a wheelchair waiting for my surgery, if I'm going to get any at all. My dad employed a local nurse to check up on me from time to time, at least he could afford that. They threw a party in my absence. It's not like I can do anything, I can only sit here miserably and watch. It was ivy's birthday party and she was also celebrating her graduation. They decided to have a big party at the backyard with beautiful decorations and plenty of food. My dad stood at a spot with my stepmom watching his beautiful, able bodied daughter with a smile as she flaunts her new found boyfriend to the guest. I am not surprised though, she's the perfect daughter, with the perfect relat

  • Ruthless Billionaire's baby bargain    Chapter 4 : Double the price

    Hazel's:"I'll do it" I stated and he smirked. I didn't want to remain like this forever, and i might not get another offer like this one again. Asher and Brianna will definitely pay for putting me in this situation and ivy and her mum will regret every single thing they've done to me. "You don't just expect me to marry someone I haven't seen before. I don't even know you, where you came from? your name, I don't know anything about you at all. For all I know , you could be a killer trying to trick me with your offer and then murder me. Did someone send you? What do you want from me? Why did you choose me, why do you think I give you what you want?" I asked all the questions that came to my head at once. "He is Aaron Gray–" His assistant suddenly said but he cut him off at once. Aaron Gray? Wait, the surname, Gray...that isn't possible right? The owner of Gray's group of companies and hotel was Mancini Gray and he didn't have any children, his only grandson died many years ago too.

  • Ruthless Billionaire's baby bargain    Chapter 5: saying 'I do'

    Hazel: "I am getting married" I announced and I got the reaction I was truly expecting. Ivy stared at me in disbelief while Grace, her mum watched like I was crazy. The shocked expression on their faces made me smile. Not only did I walk into their house with both of my legs intact, I also announced my marriage after my surgery. It was just too fast for them to take it in. They must be wondering how and when all of this started and finished. It was the day I accepted that my life would no longer be my own. Aaron Gray prepared another contract immediately that day, right after destroying the old one and then after going through it thoroughly, I signed it and he handed me my copy which I hid from my father. Aaron Gray also met with my father and he told him that he was going to cover the expenses for my surgery and we are going to get married, but he mentioned nothing about the contract to him. Like he said, it was strictly confidential and would remain a secret between us even afte

    Hazel:My eyes widened the moment his lips landed on mineWhat the hell is he doing?I proceeded to move away from him, but he drew me tighter making it hard to escape.When he was satisfied, he pulled away, smiled like he didn't do anything wrong then he faced the priest who immediately ended the whole process of the union.After the wedding, the photographer took just one picture, of the both of us and then the guests left one after the other and just before I could leave for Aaron's residence, my dad demanded to speak to me.He walked guiltily towards me and held my hands as soon as he got to where I was.Ivy and her mum stayed behind seething angrily while Aaron decided to wait for me in his car."Hazel.." He called "I haven't been the best father to you, all of this..is my fault"I guess he now feels truly sorry for everything he has done. He must have been thinking about it since I have refused to speak to him about anything going on in my life anymore."No it's not your fault"

  • Ruthless Billionaire's baby bargain    Chapter 7: First unsuccessful plan

    Hazel:If this doesn't attract him I don't know what will. I took a deep breath waiting for him to do something but he didn't move, his gaze pierced into my skin. I took one step forward, closing the distance between us waiting for him to touch me and just as he lifted his hands, he put them behind his back. "Really... Hazel carter" He said, his voice sounding so low and thick as he finally managed to take his eyes off my body. I know I have a great body, my hourglass figure was to die for but this man standing in front of me didn't look fazed at all. "Are you trying to seduce me?" He gave a mischievous smirk. He scoffed and then turned around to leave"If we don't do this now, how do you expect me to get pregnant and give you an heir. You're doing it on purpose, aren't you? So that you can get twice the amount you gave to me""Well that isn't correct" He answered "what... am I not sexy enough for you? Don't tell me... you are not attracted to women" He turned around quickly,
