Azalea decides to go to the bar and forget all her problems for one night. She ends up having a one night stand with a stranger and months later, she finds out she is pregnant. Her whole life crumbles because she has nothing to her name, and definitely no intention of looking for the father of her baby. Ace Black, a billionaire who happens to be sterile, has been searching for Azalea after the one night stand. He is shock when he finds out she's pregnant with his child even though his doctor tells him it's impossible. What will Azalea do when she finds out Ace decides to fight for custody of the baby? Will she put up a fight or just back down and let him willingly take her baby? When the unexpected starts to happen between the both of them, will she be able to keep fighting?
View MoreAce's POV I slammed the door to my penthouse shut, heading straight to the couch and kicking my shoes off. Chronic prostatitis. The words the doctor repeated multiple times today rang in my head, reminding me of the reality I wanted nothing but to forget. I couldn't get a lady pregnant. I was sterile. I was never going to have a child of my own.“What's up, dude?" Noah's voice resonated from the kitchen, startling me and making me jump frommy seat in fright, landing on the floor. “What the hell dude?" I hissed, rushing off the ground to lunge at him. “Calm down, bro." Noah laughed, swirling his glass of whiskey. “What the hell are you doing here? How the hell did you even get in here?" He shrugged, walking past me to sit on the couch. “I simply let myself in." I rolled my eyes. No matter how many times I told him to stop coming in when I was not around, he never listened. I had been regretting giving him access to my home. I should have known he'd come and go whenever he wa
Azalea's POV Lara's words rang in my head as I walked into the building of Ash Studios, feeling more confident than I had ever felt. Apart from feeling great, I also dressed the part. Lara insisted that me being pregnant wasn't an excuse to dress as a nun. She helped me in picking out a maternity jumpsuit that fitted my body like a second skin but was also comfortable. The black colour of the clothing made my slightly tanned skin pop out. She also gave me a pair of really sick white Dior sneakers and handbag, and for the final touch, a pair of pearl dangling earrings that she said brought out the colour of my eyes. She forced me to put light makeup on and sprayed so much perfume on me that I felt like I would have suffocated. I looked like an entirely different person and felt it too. It felt great walking around and attracting stares and this time, they weren't disgusted looks. Rose was drinking coffee when I walked in and she spilled her coffee when she took in my appearance. S
Azalea's POV All it took for my world to officially shatter was one sentence from Noah Hale. Rose shifted her gaze from Mrs Drywoods and approached me, stretching her hands forward to offer me a handshake, the innocent smile on her face masking away the wicked person she was. “Hello, Azalea. I'm Rose Valentine. I hope we get along well and work together to bring this company forward." I couldn't shake her hand. I felt like my hand was suddenly heavy, like it was tied to a bag of sand. I willed myself to lift my hand…to shake the creature I called my sister, the one that hadn't hesitated to ruin my life all these years. She was here again. She was here to destroy this for me too. She wanted to snatch this too like she had been snatching everything I had walked hard for. Rose placed her hands on her chest, dramatically staring at me. She widened her eyes to give them an innocent look. “How rude. It's extremely rude to leave a person's hands hanging when they reach out for a hands
Azalea's POV Hazel ran her hands through her face, clearly fighting herself, not knowing if she should reveal the name of the person or not.Seeing her plight, Mr Hale decided to step in. “Hazel, it's in your best interest to tell us who made you frame Azalea. Not only have you breached the trust of the company, you've also committed a crime which is punishable by law. I'd advise you to confess now before I involve the police." Hazel eyes widened, sweats breaking out on her forehead. “It was Miss Cowell. Miss Cowell not only threatened to make me lose my job if I don't do it, she also promised to give me a loan to pay for my mother's chemotherapy. I couldn't resist an offer like that. I just couldn't. It was either that or watching my mother die. No daughter would want her mother die when she can help. I was desperate to save her." Her revelation touched my heart so much that I felt a tear slip down my eyes. How could Ciara be wicked enough to use someone's weakness as an advantage
Azalea's POV I would have practically dragged Noah out of the hospital and back to the office to clear my name if not for the fact that he insisted my baby daddy should come to pick me up, because I wouldn't be going back with him.He kept insisting that I needed rest and should go home and when he asked about the father of my child, I panicked and told him the first thing that came to my mind, which was that he was at work. Noah proceeded to ask where he worked and when I refused to tell him anything, he demanded the number of my baby's father. We have been going back and forth as he kept saying I should be picked up by the father of my child, even though I had told him countless times that I would rather walk home than call the non-existent man. He immediately concluded that my baby's father must be abusive or a man who neglected me and the child. He thought I had refused to call him over because he was a bad man. He had been stylishly attempting to get information about him and
Azalea's POV At the sight of Noah Hale, Ciara's tears, which had stopped flowing when she was accusing me, suddenly came back, her loud wails was the only sound in the room as everybody silently observed.Ciara was by Noah's side before anyone could blink, crying and using his chest for support as her legs almost gave out. “Noah, I told you the woman is bad news. Would you believe that she stole my precious necklace and has been saying bad things about me to the others because of what happened yesterday, even though I apologized? I knew something was wrong with her when I fired her the moment I saw her." Noah rolled his eyes in annoyance, tuning to me for an explanation. “Miss Azalea, what do you have to say about this?" “I did no such thing, Mr Hale. She ordered me to get her handbag which she claimed she threw somewhere and I did so. Not even for once, did I check the contents of the bag. I gave her the bag the same way I picked it up. I am not a thief, Mr Hale. I might not be a
Azalea's POV I was given the rest of the day off by Mrs Drywoods who felt guilty for making me work with Ciara. She admitted that the only reason I was employed in the first place was because no one else wanted to work for her, given the ugly reputation she had made for herself over the few years she had been working with Ash Studios. Mrs Drywoods apologized multiple times for setting me up, claiming that it was desperation that forced her into doing such. I forgave her because unknowingly to her, she did me a huge favour. Even if I only work with Ash Studios for a month, other companies wouldn't think twice before employing me because I'd have enough experience to work with them. I just hoped I could put up with Ciara for at least one month. She reminded me so much of my sister. Seated on the couch in Lara's place, I watched my best friend pace around the living room, describing the one million ways she would make Ciara Cowell pay for what she did. “Once I get hold of that blon
Azalea’s POV “What…why?" My voice came out heavy with emotions. I was a few seconds away from bursting into tears. Again, another effect of the pregnancy hormones.“You are infected with those freakish things that destroy a woman's shape and beauty. You are shapeless. You are the most ugly thing I've ever seen. You have zero fashion sense so I wonder how the hell you will be dressing a high class one of a kind model like me.” She paused for a moment to catch her breath. “And lastly, the only difference between you and a homeless beggar is that you are the first to stand in front of an award winning beautiful model like me." She finished, fanning herself like she was on fire. My world felt like it had crumbled as everyone stopped what they were doing to watch Ciara Cowell's interaction with me.“You can't fire me, you didn't hire me."My whole body began to shake under the intense stare of the other employees and Ciara Cowell. I have always hated attention. Whenever people stared
Azalea's POV A let out a shaky breath as my wary eyes stared at the building towering over me, the bold sign of ‘ASH STUDIOS' glaring at me and making me more intimidated than I already was. I felt out of place, in all honesty, and I find it funny since I haven't stepped foot into the building yet. If I'm this intimidated by the building's outside look, I wonder how I'd feel when I finally went inside. With a sigh, I walked into the skyscraper, breathing in deeply to gather up all the courage I could get. It's useless since apparently, air isn't polluted with leftover courage. Running my shaky hand through the hair that Lara had helped in curling, I walked across the lobby to the receptionist, bracing myself to talk to her. I cleared my voice before speaking, trying to avoid embarrassing myself by stuttering. “Hello!" The young lady blatantly ignored me as she furiously typed on her phone as if she was in a typing competition. “Humm…hello?" I greeted again, scratching my head i
Azalea's POV ‘Act like Rose. Be like Rose…be Rose.' were the only words that rang in my head as I watched Lara go into the club, gesturing for me to walk forward and join her. With a deep nervous breath, I walked in after showing the bouncer my ID. I was immediately drowned by music and the stench of sweat and alcohol as I walked in. The club was louder than I thought it would be. Even louder than the ones showed in the movies. I adjusted my short summer dress and used a hand to pat my hair that was packed in a messy bun above my head. I felt extremely awkward and out of place, mainly because this was my first time in a club, and because it felt as if all eyes were on me. I was not a confident person at all, that’s one of the reasons I was here, because I wanted to play pretend, I wanted to fool myself into thinking I could be the same as everyone, especially Rose, my sister. “Here, have this," Lara, my best friend said, handing me a small glass cup filled with a content I coul...
