The Billionaire's Baby Mama Chapter 23
If someone had told me exactly twenty four hours ago that Dante would ask to be my friend, I would have called them crazy. Especially after our heated conversation last night.But it was happening. It was happening right before my fricken eyes. Dante Romero was asking to be my friend.It was fricken unbelievable and highly suspicious.Like, why?What was his angle?He still believed someone was paying me to mess with his life. Why would he suddenly want to become friends?I stared at his hand and then his face, searching for a hint of deceit. The slivers of sincerity seeping out from behind his cold face tugged at my heartstrings.Maybe he really wanted to be my friend.‘Don’t be stupid, Olly,’ I chided myself. ‘It’s a fancy ploy to dig out your supposed secret about your aim of coming back into his life. That or to get into your pants.’But I would humour the man. What better way to entertain myself? If he was planning on using ‘the power of friendship’ to probe into my life and find

“I’m missing Nonna already.” Leon sighed for the hundredth time in fifteen minutes. “Me too,” Michael mumbled, crossing his arms over his chest. “I wish she didn’t leave.” The three of them had the same somber expression from the moment we entered the limo and drove away from the airport. Pouted lips, downcast eyes, and a gloomy aura, like there was no more happiness in the world. Michael, of all people, not being interested in the treats at the snack bar was enough of a sign to know how down they were. “I’m sure your Nonna misses you too. When she arrives in Rome, you can call her any time you want. It would be like she never left.” Dante said. His voice was awkward, like he was trying to comfort them but wasn’t sure how. It was sweet that he was trying, though. I expected him to be completely aloof or snap at them for sulking. Then again, they had gotten close to him over the past few weeks. Closer than I had expected. “Not the same,” Nathan said, shaking his head. “Will meet

“Where should we take this, Ma?” A staff member of the supermarket asked me, standing behind a shopping cart full of the highest-quality ingredients that money can buy. Behind him were three others, each with a cart full of more quality products like the first. Shopping with a black card hits differently. I could buy the best of the best ingredients without being worried about overspending. It was pure heaven on earth. “My ride is somewhere in the parking lot...” My voice trailed as I scanned the entire area. ‘Sheep, I knew I should have taken a better look at it. When Dante had dropped me off at the supermarket, he had shown me the car and the chauffeur, Ken, who was on standby waiting for us, and handed me a card. His exact words were, ‘Kennedy will take you home when you’re done, and here’s my card. You have an unlimited budget, go crazy.’ Stupid me had been so excited for the ultimate grocery shopping spree that I took a quick and very short glance at the car and bounced

°°° MY NEXT TARGET IS YOUR KIDS. BUT UNLIKE YOU, THEY WON’T LIVE TO TELL THE STORY BECAUSE I WOULD USE A GUN INSTEAD OF A TASER. AND WHO KNOWS? MAYBE IT WILL BE TODAY. °°° ‘Sheep!’ I squeezed the paper into a ball, wishing it would go up in flames and turn to ashes. The air turned too heavy for my lungs, and breathing became hard and laboured. I knew I should have suspected when those messages stopped coming all of a sudden. I knew I should have suspected when all the hate comments on my social media suddenly disappeared. But I was too stupid. I got too relaxed with everything. And… My sons! They were threatening to hurt my sons. ‘I need to talk to them.’ I grabbed my purse and dug out my phone. In a flash, I went to my contact and dialled Dante’s personal number, which he had suddenly given me during one of our library talks. ‘Pick up. Pick up.’ I squeezed my purse and almost fainted when he didn’t answer my call. ‘Please let nothing bad happen to them. Please.’ I called

O: I need advice. I can’t call you now because I’m afraid if I open my mouth, I’ll cry. A: Are you aight? What happened? The way you ended the call this afternoon was scary af O: Dante and I got into an argument today because he returned home late with the kids. More like I shrieked like a banshee at him. A: So… did he do something to you? O: No I did something to him. Somehow, I opened my big mouth and told him he shouldn’t call himself their father. A: 😳😳 A: You what????!!! A: Sh.i.t. why the h.e.ll did you say that? 🤦🤦🤦 O: I was jealous. I was fricken jealous of Dante. These past few days, I’ve been jealous of his relationship with my sons. I knew they would one day become close to him, but it’s happening faster than I expected. Even Leon has warmed up to him, and I’m so afraid my sons won’t love me as much as before. All these things just built up and I erupted and said all those horrible things. O: I don’t know what is wrong with me. He looked really pissed and hurt

‘This is it, Olly.’ I stood before the large door leading to Dante’s office. It seemed more menacing than the last time I was here. ‘It’s time to face your fears and right your wrongs.’ I lifted my hand, took a long deep breath, and hit my knuckles against the hard wood. *Knock Knock* The only thing I heard in reply was the crazy beating of my heart. *Knock Knock* My knuckles hit the large white door again, and again, I was met with no reply. The silence was looking like a sign for me to wait until tomorrow morning when I was more mentally prepared. *Knock Knock* Silence. Pure, deadly, torturous silence. ‘Maybe I should just go to bed and try tomor– no, Olly,’ I shook my head, erasing the silly thoughts. ‘You’re doing this tonight, and you’re doing it now. The only thing that is going to stop you is if Dante is asleep or he doesn’t want to see you.’ I hoped he wasn’t going to do the latter. I needed to clear the air for the sake of my sons and, somehow, for myself. ‘One l

And he pinched my cheek. “Hey!” I swatted his hand away and glared at him. “What was that for?” “I couldn’t resist. It’s your fault for looking exceptionally cute.” Dante said, donning the usual amused smirk he always wore when he wanted to push my buttons. “This is serious.” I frowned, rubbing my sore cheek. “Aren’t you supposed to be mad or something?” Wasn’t he? I just confessed that I had insulted him because I was jealous, and all he had to say was that I looked cute. Not that I hated the compliment, but did he have to say it right now? Sometimes I don’t get how his brain works. “Perhaps I would have if I couldn’t imagine my mama doing the same or worse,” he chuckled and I scrunched my face. “Why would you think your mom would do that?” I, for one, couldn’t imagine Mrs. Isabelle being all petty and jealous over something so trivial. She was too sweet and understanding for that. “Because when I got my first girlfriend, she lost her head. She turned into a weeping mess, r

My face flared red, and if I thought my heart was beating like crazy before, it proved me wrong. It was banging and screaming frantically in my chest, like it wanted to jump out and run a thousand miles. “You’re joking, right?” I eyed him, trying to pretend I wasn’t flustered. “There’s only one way to find out.” Dante leaned closer, as if the almost nonexistent space between us wasn’t enough. I became more aware of the parts of his body touching mine. “Say one more thing bad about yourself. I dare you.” ‘There was no way he would actually kiss me. Would he?’ These past few weeks, he had kept his sexual flirting at bay but never failed to tease the heck out of me. I thought he was finally over the act, but… The dead serious look on his face told me he wasn’t playing around. “Y-you wouldn’t dare.” I stuttered, and I shifted back a little bit, creating enough space between us for me to breathe. “I would dare, and I would also enjoy it very much.” He laughed. “And I can assure you

The Billionaire's Baby Mama Epilogue
‘Mum, Dad, I did it. I made our dream come true.’ I smiled as I sat at my table; my gaze swept through the room and pride washed over me. I finally did it; I finally realised my parents’ and my dreams. I opened my own restaurant. Regal Haven was having her grand opening ceremony, and from the look on everyone’s face, they were enjoying the party. Soft, classy music on the piano and harp strummed through the air, giving the room not only a sophisticated aura but also setting a relaxing mood. It went perfectly well with the theme of the restaurant: Victorian-era style with a modern twist, made to feel elegant but not too stuffy and up tight. The reviews of the foods I had gotten from a few of the guests I had talked to as I strolled around was all praise about how wonderful they were. I knew a minority view wouldn’t match against the populace, but from how hearty and chatty everyone else was, it was safe to conclude they thought so too. Regal Haven was having the most perfect openi

My eyes flickered open, squinting at the sudden change from darkness to white light. The smell of antiseptics and other irritating chemicals hit my nose, and I scrunched my face. It was a dead give away that I was in the hospital. That, and the vital sign monitor and drip I saw from the corner of my gaze connected to my wrist. A dull ache trembled through my body, not unbearable but still uncomfortable to deal with, but hey, I was alive. ‘What happened? The last thing I remember was Alice pointing a gun at Dante, me jumping to save him, then a sharp pain and darkness… Wait, was I shot?’ I slowly lifted my hand, which felt like it weighed a lot more than it was supposed to and slid it under the cosy duvet I was covered with. It ran across my side, where I felt a little bit of pain and discomfort. Through the light fabric of my hospital dress, my fingers glided against the bandage, and I hissed at the sharp sting that jolted through me. Yup, I was shot. Alice had tried to kill Dant

“So, I changed my approach. I played the role of a sweet, supportive best friend, no matter how disgusted I was about it, and I wormed my way into your parents’ hearts. They were jolly fools like you, and they accepted me into their open arms. For years, I kept my façade perfectly, though I caused little issue on the side—not much to make you suspect me but enough to trouble you. I’m sure you remember some of them. Those mean letters you found in your locker. Messing up your science projects and homework… Ah, good old days.” Alice sighed; a small, soft smile was on her lips, and her eyes had a faraway look, like she was reminiscing about happy memories. I glared at her, utterly disgusted. They were definitely not good times for me. Those letters said really hurtful things, like body-shaming me about my height, my acne, and how dumb I was. I was depressed about that thing and felt worse that the culprit always found a way to not be caught. Who knew she was sitting down by my side, supp

“What!” The word fell from my mouth as a breathless whisper, and my brows furrowed. I would have thought she was joking if anger and malice weren’t burning in her eyes.“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, you bi.tch.” Alice snarled, tightening the grip on my hair, and I yelped.“But… I… I don’t…” I winced at the searing pain running through my scalp.I honestly didn’t know what she was talking about. When did I ever have everything she wanted? Never; that was when. The conversation was supposed to be the other way around. I was the one who was supposed to be jealous that she had everything I ever wanted because she did. All the times I had known her, she had always had better, nicer stuff than me.Her parents weren’t super rich, but they had a lot more money than mine. She could afford nice clothes, and shoes, and literally anything she wanted that was considered a luxury for me. She was prettier than me; ten guys would have looked her way in admiration before one e

‘I’m hallucinating. That’s it. I’m having a fricken hallucination right now. The drug they used to knock me out is making my brain wonky and think cray cray stuff. I might even still be sleeping, and my overthinking, worried brain came up with this wacko dream. Wake up, Olly. It’s time to return to reality.’ I told myself, taking in deep breaths to steady my uneven breathing. But the stinging pain on my cheek and that of the rope binding my hands and legs behind me, was stronger than any imagination I wanted to force myself to believe. It was real. Everything. Alice had slapped me and laughed—no, not laughed—cackled like a witch, and said that she had always wanted to do that. Alice, my best friend. It was like she was a completely different person. “I-I don’t… I don’t u-understand.” I breathed. Though my voice trembled, I continued. “W-why did you do that? Why did y-you say that?” “Dee, could you give us some time alone? We need to have a little girl-to-girl talk.” Alice threw a s

“This isn’t fricken happening! Sheep! Sheep! Sheep!” I hissed under my breath and sat up straight. My eyes raked over the picture, as if it would disappear, and the whole thing would be a figment of my imagination.‘Darn it, I was fricken careless; now Alice is caught in a mess she doesn’t know anything about.’•Leave her out of this. This is against you and I, it has nothing to do with herI typed and hit send. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t fricken believe it. Laura got Alice. That sneaky bish.

“W-what do you mean?” The lady stuttered and took a step back. “Exactly. What do you mean, Dante?” I frowned, not understanding his animosity towards an innocent, frightened girl. “I mean exactly what I said, Olivia.” He replied, but his brutal gaze was still on her. “Who sent you to give her this drink?” “It’s her job, Dante. She said I was picked to try a new brand of champagne, just like some of the other guests. Nothing else.” I explained to him, hoping it would calm him down and maybe he would also help her. “And you need to hear what she said about her boss. I think he’s treating his staff inhumanely.” “I heard a good amount of what she told you, but you see, Olivia, the story she was spewing is a complete lie. There’s nothing like a sample test of a new brand of champagne going on at this event, nor is her boss as wicked as she paints him. And if everything she says is a lie, then why exactly is she trying to make you take the drink? Unless…” Dante sneered at her, and I gas

Oh sheep! This was happening. I was standing before the father of the woman who wanted to ruin my life. Never had I thought I would run into him, but he was standing before me, right in the flesh. My eyes took a quick sweep of him, surprised by how he looked. He was nothing like I had pictured when he came to mind. I had always imagined a tall, broody, mafia-don-looking man; he was the opposite. He was a few inches shorter than me—and I was already short—with a bald head that the light bounced off. He had almost no similarities with his daughter apart from their eyes, and I almost doubted he was actually her father. Laura was a beauty queen, while he was just ordinary. “I’ve told you to call me father or papa instead of Mr. Kingsley. You almost got married to my daughter.” He gripped Dante’s hand and shook it so hard that I feared he was going to pop it. “But I didn’t marry your daughter, so I don’t have to call you that, Mr. Kingsley.” Dante put emphasis on his name, but the older
