2025-02-09 12:02:40Flora’s POV
ON THE WEDDING DAY; AT THE RECEPTION It's finally the long-awaited day, and I'm so excited. The wedding at the church went well, and we're presently at the reception venue. "You're very lucky to have Stanley as your husband Lora", Jessica, my maid of honor said to me "Yeah, you're right baby. He's really a god sent to my life", I replied to her, having a shy smile on my face It's now time to exchange gifts The guests were bringing in their gifts, while Stanley and I accepted them with smiles on our faces. We were doing so until one particular handsome-looking man in a black suit came in with his gift "Congratulations on your marriage. I pray it lasts long and bear fruits", the man said, handing us his gift "Thank you very much", I appreciated him, smiling at him I turned to look at Stanley because he hadn't said anything since the man gave us his gift. Normally, he was supposed to accept and appreciate him, but he didn't do any of that. Instead, it seemed like he had frozen up "Hey, say something", I whispered, tapping him to snap from his trance and do the right thing, but the man had gone by then "What's the matter with you? Why did you freeze up like that?", I asked him, feeling worried "He's my future disaster", he said, his voice sounding so distant and trembling. Future disaster? What does he mean by that? I ignored him and the ceremony continued even though Stanley was a little bit lost. THREE MONTHS LATER It's been three months since my wedding with Stanley. Three months of having the title 'Mrs Davis'. I must say, it feels so good to be called that. I feel special being addressed as such. Around two weeks ago, I was having some morning sickness and some symptoms of pregnancy. I really wanted and wished to be pregnant, so I took a pregnancy test, and it was confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. This news came as a source of blessing, happiness, and strength to the relationship between Stanley and I. Our family members were elated to hear the news too including my mother-in-law who came to visit. I'm very sure this baby is my gift from God. I really needed another bundle of joy other than Stanley, and God granted me one. The pregnancy stages weren’t easy since it was my first time, but thank God I have Stanley and my family to take care of me MONTHS LATER… The day that we have all been waiting for finally arrived. Our little bundle of joy was born. It's a baby girl, just like Stanley had predicted. He had always wanted a daughter first, and I had always prayed to God to grant him his heart's desire because he is truly a good husband, and I'm sure he will even be a great father, so he deserves it. "Aww she looks just like you sweetie", Stanley said for the hundredth time today. He has been calling baby Aurora since today and has refused to let anyone touch her. Yes, we decided to name her Aurora, after Stanley's grandmother's name because Stanley thinks baby Aurora looks like her Well, who am I to object? As long as the baby's name is a fine one, then I'm good with it. Aurora is a wonderful name anyways "Stanley, please let us carry her for once, please. We will hand her over to you soon", I heard my mom pleading with Stanley to let her carry baby Aurora, and I was on the bed just smiling because I was very sure Stanley would refuse "Alright, you'll carry her soon. I'm coming", he replied, still not giving the baby out He has been like that since today. I really don't have any issues with that for now As long as they would let me have my baby once I recover, then it's fine. After some days we were discharged from the hospital and we went home with our baby girl Baby Aurora is surely a source of joy to people around her. She doesn't disturb me and she smiles a lot. She's very obedient. She only cries when she's hungry or when her diaper is full and she needs to change I must say that Stanley has really been a supportive system for me "She's also my daughter, so I must take care of her as well", that's what he keeps telling me anytime I thank him for his assistance. Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months. It's been four months since baby Aurora was born, and I must say, things have been going smoothly Or so I thought? Our happiness was short-lived as Michael chose to resurface from nowhere like a lost lamb that just found its way home I don't know how he found where we were living, but he came to my home, where Stanley, I, and our baby Aurora lived This time around, he wasn’t here for me. Instead, he came for my baby, baby Aurora!!! "I want my baby with me", he said, his voice sounding confident "What baby are you talking about?", I asked him, my voice laced with worry as I stood up and faced him angrily. "You know the baby I'm talking about. Baby Aurora of course", he began. "I'm surely going to change that silly name you gave her, once I claim custody of her" "And what gave you the right to claim my baby as yours?", I asked him, feeling so upset. Stanley kept quiet throughout while Micheal was making all his ridiculous claims. "If you think I'm lying or crazy, then let's do a DNA test", he later said, trying to sound so sure of what he was saying What if he's actually correct? What if his claims are right? I was worried sick of why this devil in human form had come back for me. "Alright then. We agree, but only if you foot the bill", I heard Stanley from behind me agree with his ridiculous claims I turned to look at Stanley with a look of betrayal and disappointment, but his gaze on me was pleading for understanding He is right though. We need to know the truth, and I just hope my truth is the only truth. Michael's statement should not be true. But he sounds so convincing. What if he's planning something underneath? "Fine then, I agree to foot whatever bill there will be", Michael agrees with Stanley's condition The test was conducted that very same day and the once happy home is on the verge of collapsing and disruption. Days later after the test was done, the result was finally ready. This is time to know if Stanley is the father or if Michael is But I was so sure that Stanley was the father of my baby girl Or so I thought… "What does the result say? Is Aurora Micheal baby?", I heard my mother-in-law ask, her voice laced with worry Everyone in the family must be feeling so tense like I am right now. "Well, Michael isn't the father of the child", the doctor said I jumped up with joy in my heart. Stanley also came to hug too "The paternity test shows that the baby has 0.00 percent gene from Michael, which makes him not the father", the doctor continued "You see, I told you that you are not the father of my baby, but you refused to believe me. Now what do you have to say for yourself?", I asked Michael, trying to mock him His face was now red from anger. He has always had anger issues. On a normal day, I'd have gone to hide so that he wouldn't beat me, but now I'm not afraid. I have Stanley and the rest of my family by my side "So now that you've gotten what you want, you should leave. You loser", Stanley shouted at Michael, his voice was full of happiness, giving Michael a wicked grin "Yes, I'll leave, not until the doctor reads out the result for Stanley's paternity test too", Michael said, he still had the nerve to talk "Since you asked for a DNA test to be conducted, it has been done. And it is confirmed that you're not the father, what more do you want?", Stanley tackles him, his voice laced with anger, and am sure any moment he could pounce on Micheal the way he saved me before. "Yes, I know, but I won't leave until I hear the results and who the child belongs to", Michael said, still persistent in staying I was getting confused and curious as to why Michael wanted to be sure of who the Father was, if it wasn’t Micheal then surely it will be Stanley I assured myself "Okay then. Please doctor, what's the result? Tell us, so that this pathetic man can leave us alone", I asked the doctor, feeling uneasy already "Hmm, Stanley isn't the father of the child either", the doctor said slowly "WHAT!!", everyone exclaimed

Flora’s POV "Are you very sure about that?", I asked the doctor, my voice shaking with fear as I moved closer to him and collected the document he was holding even though I had no idea what was written Desperation was written all over my face, what’s the meaning of all this? Why is this happening? I thought as Stanley came to join me where I was standing close to the doctor "Yes, I'm 100% sure that neither Stanley nor Michael is the father of the child", the doctor confirmedWhat's this supposed to mean? How can neither of the two men I've been involved with, be the father of my child? I looked at where Michael was seated and I saw the way he was smiling wickedly If neither Stanley nor Michael is the father of my baby, then who is the Father of the child????I looked at where baby Aurora was sleeping and I could only pity myself because now I could only imagine the explanation I was going to give Stanley and our family members present. I stood still, shocked and paralyzed. I cou

Flora’s POV “I know what you want Flora” “I have the answers that you are desperately searching for” I heard this cold, deep, baritone voice My heart racing, immediately I pat baby Aurora to stop crying and pleaded with one of the maids to help look after her before I went back into my room Immediately I got to my room, I shut the door behind me and closed all the windows “Micheal, what are you doing here?” I asked in a low sharp voice “How did you manage to get in?” “Is that what you are curious about or the answer to who is the father of your child?” He paused his eyes glinting with confidenceI looked at him with a surprised and desperate look “Yes I know the father of your child,” he said his voice firm and bold I was dumbfounded and confused, my mind reeled with several questions, I didn’t even really care how he got into my room. All I care about is, who the hell is the father of my child “Who is the father?” I asked him desperation laced in my voice Michael’s smile g

Flora’s POV I sat down at the edge of my bed, lost in the depths of my mind, a gentle tap on the back of my shoulder jolted me back to reality. I had been daydreaming all this while, Micheal was definitely not here, I thought stupidly with my head bowed down for a moment. I couldn’t believe I was having this stupid thought. Baby Aurora’s wails had grown louder which finally registered in my consciousness what was going on, I looked around just to be sure no one was here before. “What were you thinking, Flora?” I heard my best friend's voice laced with both concern and surprise “I could hear the sound of Aurora’s crying way before climbing the stairs only for me to meet you here lost in your little thoughts” she queried as she picked up baby Aurora and petted her “Am so sorry babe, I was lost in thought that’s all” I swept my hair back, revealing my face, which was etched with worry and concern. “What were you thinking that made you unrealized of the situation around you” Jessica

Stanley’s POV I stood tall, dressed up in my black tuxedo with my matching pants and sparkly white Nike sneakers. Even though I was in a rush, I still looked good and sharp. I felt a sense of confidence as I headed for the impromptu stakeholder’s meeting which was just called up, which I am still surprised about. For the meeting to have been called on short notice then it must really be important and urgent As I rushed downstairs, I greeted my mum and my little sister before I hurriedly left the house. My driver and personal assistant were already waiting for me by the car and I instructed them to start the movement without any delay. Upon arriving, the conference room was filled with tension as I entered quietly. Seems everyone was waiting for me because all eyes were on me as I entered. I surveyed the entire room occupied by shareholders, a mix of individuals and representatives from various investment firms, all sat down with their arms crossed and their faces etched with di

ANONYMOUS POV“Finally, my plans are getting accomplished little by little and I must say that I am impressed to some extent,” I said as I relaxed on my couch and watched one of the media publish the news from Stanley’s interview on the screen. “He looked like he was going to snap and collapse on the spot. The Funny thing is that I am just getting started with him, I would make sure he regrets being alive. Stanley is right where I want him”. The thought sent a shiver of excitement down my spine as I took a sip of my juice and changed the channel to a football match between a long rival Real Madrid vs Barcelona.Moments later, my phone rang and surprisingly the caller was one of my most trusted minions, Jessica Campbell. “Speak” I ordered immediately, my voice firm as I picked up the phone “Good day boss” she began “I believe that I have completed my part of the mission. Am I permitted to return to Canada where I came from,” she asked her voice laced with fear and worry I get the r

Stanley’s POV"Flora!" I screamed, my voice thick with rage and disbelief.She turned to look at me, her face contorted in shock, and just as our eyes met—I woke up.My breath came in short gasps as I shot up from the bed, my heart pounding against my chest. Sweat clung to my forehead, and the remnants of the dream still lingered in my mind. I rubbed my temples, cursing under my breath.It was just a dream.A damn dream.But why the hell was I still thinking about her? Why was she still tormenting me even in my sleep?I glanced at the clock. It was the middle of the night, yet sleep had completely abandoned me. With a frustrated sigh, I threw off the duvet, got out of bed, and stepped into the surprisingly bright hallway.As I walked past Flora’s room, I instinctively slowed my steps. The door was shut, but just standing there made my chest feel heavy. I hated that I still felt anything at all. It had been weeks, and yet, the hurt refused to fade.Shaking my head, I continued tow

Flora’s POVI waited.The sound of Stanley’s footsteps echoed through the hallway as he left the house. I stayed perfectly still in my bedroom, cradling Aurora close to my chest, listening intently for the sound of the front door closing.A few moments later, I heard the unmistakable roar of his car engine as he drove away.Only then did I let out the breath I’d been holding.I had been avoiding him since last night. His words still stung like fresh wounds, reopening the pain I had desperately tried to bury. I knew Stanley hated me, but to call my daughter a bastard? That was a level of cruelty I hadn’t been prepared for.I pressed a soft kiss to Aurora’s forehead. "We’re okay," I whispered, even though I wasn’t sure if I was trying to reassure her or myself.Carefully placing her back into her crib, I stood and stretched before making my way to the bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face, trying to wash away the exhaustion that clung to me like a second skin.When I finally ste

Flora’s POVI sat in a secluded corner of the restaurant, my hands wrapped around a lukewarm cup of tea. Aurora was nestled in my arms, her tiny breaths warm against my chest. I prayed silently that she wouldn’t cry, that she wouldn’t cause a scene. The last thing I needed was attention.My eyes flickered to the entrance every few seconds, scanning the faces of strangers. I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched.Then, I saw him.Michael walked into the restaurant, his gaze sweeping the room until he spotted me. A waitress approached him, saying something before motioning in my direction. He nodded and made his way over, his expression unreadable.As soon as he reached me, his eyes landed on Aurora. He stretched a hand forward, but I pulled my daughter closer, my arms tightening around her protectively.Michael let out a low chuckle and raised his hands in surrender. “Relax, Flora. I’m not here to snatch her from you.”I said nothing. I simply stared at him, waiting.

Flora’s POVI sit in the car, watching the city lights blur past through the window, and for a moment,I can’t breathe.Did I just do that?Did I really sit through a dinner with Stanley and Jessica like it didn’t break every nerve in my body? Did I smile? Stay calm? Keep my voice even?I did.And I didn’t just survive it… I owned it.I blink, looking down at my hands, still slightly trembling, but steady enough to clench the edge of my dress. I feel raw inside, like I’ve been skinned emotionally, but on the outside,I looked untouched. That has to count for something.I glance to the other seat where the nanny holds Aurora gently. She’s fast asleep, cheeks flushed from the night, her tiny hand curled around the edge of her bunny plushie. So peaceful. So soft.I swallow the lump in my throat.The nanny offers me a small, knowing smile. “She didn’t even stir. Must’ve been a long day.”“Yeah,” I say, voice hoarse. “For both of us.”I lean forward, tapping the glass. “Let’s go. I just

Flora’s POVIt’s almost time to leave, but my heart won’t stop racing.I pace the living room twice, clutching my handbag like it might fly away if I let go. Aurora’s dressed already,hair done in a sweet puff, her tiny hands playing with the butterfly clips in her curls.I turn to Mama. “I don’t know why I’m so nervous. I feel like this is a mistake.”She walks over and touches my shoulder gently. “It’s not a mistake, Flora. You’re just anxious. Breathe, alright? Maybe this dinner is a good thing.”I glance toward the window. It’s already getting dark.“Be positive,” she adds. “Whatever happens tonight, just stay calm. Don’t let anyone rattle you.”I nod slowly, then my phone rings, interrupting the moment.Unknown number.I hesitate, then swipe to answer. “Hello?”“Miss Flora,” a familiar voice says, low and firm. It’s the agent. “You’ll be accompanied to your meeting tonight. My men are waiting outside your house.”“What?” I blink. “How did you even—?”But the line goes dead.I

Flora's POVI stare at the file on my desk like it might reach out and bite me. My heart’s been beating too fast since I saw his name,Stanley Davis,boldly written under the “eliminate” column. It doesn’t make sense. Nothing makes sense anymore.I pace the floor of my office, my heels clicking too loudly against the tiles. I want to scream, throw something, demand answers,but I don’t even know who to direct my anger to. Senator Jones? Mr. Rivera? The agent who dropped this bombshell on my desk and vanished like smoke?God, I want to go to the senator’s house. I want to grab him by the collar and ask what twisted game he’s playing. But I can’t. I think of my mom. I think of Aurora—her little giggles, the way she wraps her tiny fingers around mine like I’m her entire world.If I make the wrong move, if I provoke the wrong man… they’ll pay the price.I sit down slowly, running my fingers through my braids, trying to breathe through the chaos. I keep glancing at the door, hoping the age

Jessica’s POVThe hospital smells like antiseptic and quiet desperation. I walk briskly through the corridor, not making eye contact with anyone. I’m not here for small talk or polite nods. I’m here to get things done. Ruthlessly.I reach the doctor’s office and knock once before stepping in without waiting for a response. Dr. Franklin looks up from his desk, startled.“Miss—” he starts, standing as if unsure whether to greet me or brace himself.I cut him off with a smile. “Sit down, doctor. I won’t take much of your time.”His nervous energy is almost amusing. I close the door behind me and walk to his desk slowly, deliberately, like I own this hospital. In many ways, I do,money talks, and mine never stutters.“I need a favor,” I say, placing my purse on the edge of his desk. “Stanley’s mother… I want her drug regimen changed.”His brows knit together. “Changed?”“Yes,” I reply smoothly. “Swap it with something… a little more effective at finishing the job. Something that will sl

Jessica’s POVStanley is halfway down the porch steps when I rush out, clutching the thick file against my chest.“Wait!” I call out, trying not to sound desperate. “You forgot something.”He slows but doesn’t stop until he’s by the car door. I reach him just as he swings it open, his brows pinched and expression already tense. He’s always tense lately.“What is it now?” he asks, not even bothering to look at me.I shove the file into his hands. “It’s everything I’ve put together for the wedding. A summary. Venues, press coordination, stylist options, dates. You said we should get things moving, so I did.”He stares at the file for a beat, then tosses it onto the passenger seat like it’s yesterday’s trash. “Thanks,” he mutters without enthusiasm. “I have to get to work, Jessica. I’ll stop by the hospital after.”I nod quickly, stepping back from the car, forcing a soft smile onto my face. “Of course. I’ll meet Chloe at the hospital and stay with your mom for a bit. You don’t have
THE BILLIONAIRE BABY’S SECRET DADDY CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN
Flora’s POVThe elevator dings softly as it stops on my floor, and the doors glide open. I step out into the office, my heels clicking sharply against the polished tiles. The morning buzz has already started,phones ringing, printers humming, employees moving about with forced smiles and quick steps. But I have no time for pleasantries or distractions today. I go straight for Mr. Rivera’s office.I don’t bother to knock. I push the door open, stepping in with a quiet resolve that masks the storm brewing inside me.Mr. Rivera looks up from behind his desk, eyes narrowing slightly as he sees me. “Flora,” he says slowly, drawing out the syllables like he’s trying to figure out which version of me walked through the door. “I’m surprised to see you here.”I don’t answer. Not immediately. I let the silence stretch just a little. I remain standing, my arms at my sides, trying to steady the pounding in my chest.He raises an eyebrow when I don’t speak, fingers tapping lightly on the edge
THE BILLIONAIRE BABY’S SECRET DADDY CHAPTER FIFTY SIX
Stanley’s POVThe door clicks shut behind us as we step into the house. Silence stretches across the room, thick and tense. I don’t say a word. I don’t have the strength to start something I won’t be able to finish tonight.Jessica walks ahead of me, heels tapping lightly against the polished floor. When I attempt to head for the stairs, she moves fast,almost too fast,planting herself in front of me, arms folded and head tilted in that practiced way of hers.“Are you still mad at me?” she asks, voice calm but with that underlying edge I’ve come to recognize. The one she uses when she’s trying to gauge whether I’m malleable enough to manipulate.I exhale slowly. “Jessica, I’m tired. I’ve been at the hospital for hours.”“You didn’t answer my question.”I look at her. Really look at her. The woman I married for obligation, not love. Her face is painted perfectly, not a flaw out of place, but behind that pretty mask is the chaos she caused just hours ago. My mother, injured. Hit wit

Jessica's POV I sit in the hospital hallway, crossing my legs as I scroll mindlessly through my phone. My nails tap against the screen, the only sound in the otherwise quiet corridor. Stanley has been inside his mother’s room for a while now, and I can only imagine the dramatic little scene unfolding in there.Poor Stanley.He still doesn’t understand the game we’re playing.A doctor walks past me, and I rise gracefully from my seat, flashing my most charming smile. “Doctor?”He stops, giving me a polite nod. “Yes, Miss?”I step closer, lowering my voice. “I heard that my dear mother-in-law to be might be discharged soon. Is that true?”The doctor glances at his clipboard. “Yes. She’s stable, and we’re expecting to clear her for discharge either tomorrow or by the weekend.”I hum, tilting my head. “I see.” I pretend to hesitate before leaning in slightly. “Would it be possible to delay that?”He frowns. “Delay it?”I let out a soft, almost embarrassed laugh. “It’s just that she’s had

Flora’s POVI walk into the towering glass building, the sound of my heels clicking against the pristine marble floor. The receptionist greets me with a polite smile, and I nod in acknowledgment before heading toward the conference room where my meeting with Mr. Rivera is scheduled.As I push open the heavy wooden door, my eyes immediately land on Senator Boris. He’s seated at the far end of the table, deep in conversation with Mr. Rivera and two other men in dark suits. The moment he sees me, his sharp gaze flickers to my wrist.“That bracelet…” His voice is low, almost thoughtful. “It looks familiar.”I glance down at the delicate silver chain wrapped around my wrist, a tiny charm dangling from it. It’s new—I had picked it up earlier that morning while out with my mom. I raise an eyebrow at the senator.“I got it this morning,” I tell him casually. “On my way out with my mom.”Senator Boris studies it for a beat longer, his expression unreadable. “It looks oddly strange,” he mu
