The Billionaire's Baby Mama Twenty Four
BETH- PRESENTI can't believe it, I was so sure!I re-read the mail displayed on my screen for the umpteenth time, waiting to see if the details will change. But nope. Still the same. I saw the mail late last night and I ignored it because I was not ready to deal. Even now, especially after reading the message, I am still not ready.My phone has been ringing incessantly, and after the fifth missed call from Chase, I finally put the phone on silent mode. The doctor says I'm anemic, but who cares about that? I'm having Beck's child! I wonder if my baby will have his eyes, or maybe his smile. My brain is scrambled. I cannot pay attention at work. Throughout the day, I find myself absently rubbing my stomach with a mixture of joy and bewilderment; so much so that one of my colleagues asks me if I had a belly ache. I chuckle.There is another mail in my box, one from a certain Mr. Cruise. Seeing as all my encounters with him have been anything but smooth, I have been avoiding opening it. M

BETH- PRESENTBeing back in the apartment I shared with Chase feels unreal: everything seems different, yet nothing has changed. The picture we took on our fifth anniversary still hangs over the fireplace, I can see the gardening magazines I never got around to using, and the dumbbells that I could never figure out where to keep. The kitchen was the same as well. It looks like Chase did not use the place since I left.While I complete my inspection, Chase just follows quietly behind me, opening and closing doors as I pass. “Everything is the same.” I comment when I finish looking around. I didn’t go to the bedroom, why would I? That room holds memories that I am not ready to visit. “I wanted it to be the same when you come back.” He replies. When he sees my questioning look, he cap

BETH- PRESENTWell this is a surprise!When was the last time Chase kissed me with such abandon? Like his next breath depended on it? I cannot remember! The way he holds me, like I would disappear if he lets me go for even a second is both comical and heart wrenching.This is what I always wanted, a barely banked passion that spoke of the depths of his feelings. The emotions on his face are raw, and it causes a tear to slide down my face.“No tears, Beth, not here. Never again with me.” He pulls away to wipe the tear but I pull him right back.Finally, I have Chase the way I always wanted hi

BECK- PRESENT“I trust that you have a good explanation for why you ignored my summons yesterday?” The sight of the oppressing figure of Domenico Caliri is not something I look forward to as a start to my work day. Especially when he looks angry.Have you ever seen a death row inmate? I haven’t, but I assume that the way I feel right now must be the way they feel. I feel like a green teenager again and I am dreading this meeting.My day started on a fairly poor note. Despite the tight security on my building, there are a few paparazzi hanging about when I leave for work; I guess news about the child got out somehow. It was not my proudest moment, but I had to bully a few of them before they all got the messag

BETH- PRESENTHumiliated does not even begin to describe how I feel right now. I watch Chase's retreating form in mortification, remembering the gentle, yet firm way he turned me down. If I wasn't pregnant, I'd try to drown my shame in alcohol.What had I been thinking? What had he been thinking?Did he really not want me because we aren’t together, or does he not find me desirable anymore. I shake my head to dispel the thought. If it is true, I only have myself to blame. How can I expect him to want me when I am carrying another man’s child? Needless to say, I have a terrible night's rest.There is a media van in front of his building this morning. Its occupants do not notice me until I am safely behind my wheels and pulling away. How did they know I was here? Maybe they were waiting to interview Chase. If that's the case, are they harassing everyone I know? I need to check on them then.I manage to get into my office building undetected by going through the service entrance just beh

BETH- PRESENT“I suppose the mulberry looks better than the plum,” Rachel is saying. She hands two scraps of fabric that look the same to me and I smile at her.If I had a choice on how to spend my Sunday evening, time with Rachel would have been my least option. I mean, how much fun can spending time with your boyfriend’s mother be? Especially if said woman believes she is related to the Queen?“Certainly Rachel. You have a good eye for color.” I praise her and set the fabrics aside, before lifting my cup to sip my tea, just to avoid further conversation. My phone vibrates on the chair beside me (you never place your phone on the table when with family or friends; Rachel educated me on our first meeting, and it has stuck); but I discreetly check it anyway.I wasn’t the most popular kid in high school, and I didn't have many friends; just one, a badass miniature spitfire Latina named Alejandra. I called her Alex and she, like everyone pre-Chase, called me Rainbow. We used to go everyw

BETH- PRESENT“What!” I cry softly as he rises to his feet and begins to pace.“You and I are different people now, different from who we were when we met. I love you, Liz, I really do!” He exclaims and pauses in front of me. “But not enough to marry you.”I listen quietly while he speaks, not interrupting, and not asking questions. My ears are ringing and my pulse is racing. I feel like hyperventilating while I have a panic attack. ‘You're not good enough for him,’ a part of my brain informs me and I start to gasp for air.“Elizabeth, Liz!” He exclaims with alarm and grabs my shoulders and I instantly shrink away from his touch.“Why?” I ask. “Why am I not good enough for you to marry?” I ask in a calm voice, after locking my emotions away.“I didn’t say that you aren’t good enough.” He instantly defends.“Why then? Why can’t you marry me!” I deadpan.“Because you are boring! Our relationship is boring!” He yells and resumes his pacing“Huh?” I ask in disbelief.“You used to be fun a

BETH- PASTThe first time I set my eyes on ‘the hostel’, I immediately hated the place. The little house must have been lovely once, but age and depreciation has sapped all its beauty.Mary Roberts, the woman in charge, is waiting for me at the front porch and welcomes me with a smile. She sends me to play with the other children while the adults talk. The lady that brought me was explaining to Ms. Roberts that my stay would be temporary since her home only had boys. Just before I find the other children, I hear her reply that she wouldn’t mind the presence of another woman.I smiled brightly because she said I was a woman and peer at the children playing in the backyard. Two of them are engaged in a fierce battle of tug, and the other just watches them. I assume he must be the shy one that always watches, rather than joining in so i approach him first.One look at him though, and I am lost. He is the most beautiful boy in the world, and I have seen many! His hair is so dark; it is al

BECK- PRESENTUnbelievable!I look at the mail in front of me and curse out loud. Rosa pokes her head into my office to see if I am okay, but I wave her off. I still haven't fully forgiven her.The mail is long and detailed, including a picture of a sonogram and blood work of the mother. But that is not the part that holds my attention. I've been had! Rainbow successfully fucked me over! How did I not see this coming? Me, who has always been careful! It didn’t even happen with Teresa, and heaven knows that she tried.I groan and slump in my chair, all thoughts about work forgotten. My 300 square meters office suddenly feels claustrophobic, and I struggle to loosen my necktie when I decide to take the day off.“Reschedule all my appointments, I'm taking the rest of today off." I inform Rosa. “Are you okay?” She asks with motherly concern. “Rainbow is having my child.” “Oh!” Rosa gasps out with a sympathetic look.I shake my head when she tries to get out of her seat, and hightail it fo

BETH- PRESENTToday is the day my baby’s paternity is determined. Luckily, it is a Saturday, so I don’t have to deal with Mia and Stacy’s trite comments about my weight and distraction at work. I didn’t even know that I was adding weight! I had tried to get Alex to agree to accompany me to the hospital, but she had been too busy dealing with work and nursing her broken heart; I still feel guilty about that one, even though I know that I shouldn’t. Hopefully, the results will clear things up.I cross and uncross my legs several times while I wait for both males to arrive, and pretend that I am not nervous or scared out of my mind. The hospital is beautiful, frequented by many celebrities. They had taken steps to deviate from the normal sterile white environment of hospitals by painting the walls a cher

BECK- PRESENTI want to believe that work is hectic today; that the client demands and ongoing projects are taking longer than they ought. I want to pretend that this morning's meeting, when I lost my patience, had nothing to do with the absurdity of my late night meeting with my legal team.But it is all a lie. Why can't I stomach the rationale that Rainbow tried to swindle me? Each time I remember our night together, I wonder if I am that much of a fool. Besides, she did not strike me as someone who was faking.Was she? How humiliating! Women have flocked around me because of my money before, but the ones that make it to my bed want to be exclusive. To think that a woman would fake it with me…"I know you're still mad at me, but how long do you intend to i

BECK- PRESENTRosa places a cup of coffee in front of me and I sip the scalding liquid, ignoring the burning in my tongue. Then I return my focus to the window behind me. I am not admiring the impressive view of the bustling city being in my high rise office affords me, nor am I strategizing ways to make more money.The truth is, i am trying to quiet my mind; the one screaming bloody murder. Why else would I be at work by this time, with people I'm sure can't wait to escape back to their lives.“Anthony, are you sure about this?” One of the people seated at the table with me whispers, and I clench my fists.“I am positive.” Anthony replies. “They were a couple up until three months ago.”“Do
