The Billionaire’s Red Chapter Eighteen
“How are you feeling?” Dylan asked, his voice still breathless. “Did I…hurt you?” He almost sounded scared. He leaned up against his elbow to gaze down at me with a worried expression on his face. “Please Hera, tell me, did I hurt you?” His eyes flitted across my face and a soft smile broke out on my face. I shook my head at him my hand reaching up to touch his handsome face. “You didn’t hurt me, Dylan, I promise.” I said, caressing his smooth skin softly. He kissed the inside of my wrist and then my palm before brushing away the few strands of stray hair on my forehead. He was now hovering above me but was careful enough not to rest his shoulder on me but rather on his elbows. “Are you sure? You look a bit…” he trailed off. “Yes, I’m sure. I’m just a little sore but I heard that’s normal the first time. I’ll be fine.” “Are you sure? Is there anything I can do to make you feel better? Are you thirsty? Should I get you something to drink? Some painkillers?” He asked and I shook my

A fit of nausea jolted me awake. I ran to the bathroom, lowering myself down to the toilet seat to puke out my guts. I retched till the remnant of the dinner I had the night before was down the toilet, till all I could puke out was bile. I sat down on the floor, leaning against the cold tile when the urge to puke was gone. It was the third time that week I’d had to throw up so early in the morning all of a sudden. I’d at a moment thought it was just a bug but as it persisted I started to get worried. I got up from the bathroom floor and washed my face with cold water before brushing my teeth to get rid of the foul taste of my regurgitated dinner. Walking back to my room, I glanced at the small alarm clock on my bedside table, it was just past three am, three hours earlier than the time I have to get up to start doing my chores. I could no longer, my throat felt dry from all the rest hung I had to do. I decided to go to the kitchen to get myself a bottle of water. The kitchen was d

“I love you.” Dylan’s words echoed in my mind.It was around 4 am that morning before anyone in that house could think of waking up. A knock on my door jolted me awake, and I had at first thought I was dreaming that was until I heard him whisper; “It’s me.”I had immediately jumped off my bed to open the door for him. “What are you doing here?” I whispered yelled at him, looking behind him to see if no one followed him. “She’s fast asleep. She wouldn’t know that I’m gone. And I’m here because…” he lowered his face to kiss my forehead. “I couldn’t sleep. Not when you’re not by my side.” “You’re such a sweet talker.” I said trying to hide the fact that I was swayed by his words. “It’s the truth, babe. I’m not trying to sweet talk you.” He kissed my hair. I thanked the skies that I didn’t blush easily if not, I would have been as red as a tomato. The way he used the pet name so casually made my pulse spike to a hundred beats per minute. I pretended like I didn’t hear it as that was l

I didn’t see Dylan until he got back from work that evening and by then, I’d drawn to a conclusion that he didn’t say those words I thought he did but rather, my mind had played tricks on me making me hear what it knew I wanted to hear. It only made sense right? Because there was no way Dylan could fall in love with someone like me, a maid, a nanny. It was impossible. He was always going to love his wife, the millionaire’s daughter. I mean how could he love me and then kiss his wife in front of me? Loving someone meant not wanting anyone else but them. Like me, the thought of being with another man repulses me that’s because I loved him. I didn’t want anyone else but him. But unfortunately, he didn’t feel the same way towards me. It didn’t matter if he kissed me as if he wanted only me or if he made me feel like the most precious thing on earth. All that didn’t matter if he would just keep running back to his wife. I pushed the button to flush the toilet after puking my guts out.

I don't think I've ever been more scared in my life than I was at that moment. I was still standing, locked in the four walls of the bathroom. My hands shook and avoided the door knob like a plague. Knowing she was standing, they were standing just outside the door, waiting for me wasn't comforting. I stared at the two faint black stripes. According to the pack, two lines mean positive. It felt like a bucket of iced water had been poured on my face and yet, I felt hot all over. My feet remained rooted to the ground, I couldn’t move.How?. How did this happen? I didn't understand. I was confused. He always used protection, always. So, why? Why did this happen? Why was the universe so against me? I jumped at the sudden bang of the door. "Are you planning on spending the whole evening there?" came Amelia's irritable voice from the other side of the door. “If you don’t fucking come out of there in five seconds, I’ll have the door broken down and your wages will be used to fi

I couldn’t help but wonder if I was a despicable person in my first life. If I was someone who had no compassion for others and acted like I was better than everyone else maybe that’s why I was like this. Maybe that’s why I had to suffer like this. It’s been two weeks since I left Amelia’s house. Two weeks since I’d slept in a comfortable bed, weeks since I’d had anything good to eat. I spent half of my day searching through garbage bags for leftover pizzas, fruits that were still good that were thrown out by the owners, and other food items I knew would hurt me or my baby if I consumed them. I never slept in the same place twice. I always moved sleeping places every time a new homeless person arrives to claim the place. I always choose to leave in peace because I knew those kinds of people are never unharmed. I would much rather find shelter somewhere else than have some beggar stab me with a knife. I was wandering the street that night when it suddenly started raining. I had to r

"Hello there, what would you like to have today?" I said to the man standing at the other end of the counter, trying to keep a smile on my face and not speak with a monotone voice. It was hard, trust me. Especially when over half of the population of male customers at ‘Gina’s Cafe’ gets are perverted jerks. "Er, actually I was hoping I could um ask you a question if you don't mind." He said. I eyed him warily wondering what it was that he wanted to ask me. Surely he would be smart enough to not ask me anything inappropriate because that would demand me to call Gabriel—the security man to kick him out. But then again, taking a careful look at him made me think that he wasn't the type to ask inappropriate questions. I had noticed him since he walked in with his friend about ten minutes ago. I had been wondering why they decided to sit instead and not order their coffee. I mean it wasn't even a busy morning. There were about eight customers in the shop, excluding them. He was dresse

Red?Why did he—"When do you get off work?" He asked right after taking a sip from his coffee. I watched him drink his coffee. The way he lifted his cup and sipped on the hot caffeinated drink with such suaveness and elegance made me think that there's a school for wealthy people that teaches how to properly drink coffee. I didn't even realize that I was staring and being creepy until he tilted his head back to look up at me again. I flinched when our eyes met, and I certainly would have been redder than a tomato if I blushed easily. It felt like I had been caught red-handed doing something horrible by the last person I wanted to see me. His gaze was unflinching. And even though his expression was blank, it looked like he was waiting for something. Almost as if I was holding on to something that he had and he wanted me to give it back. I shifted on my feet. His deep stares made me uncomfortable. It felt like he was prying my soul, and my mind for some sort of answers, and my sou

The Billionaire’s Red Chapter One Hundred and Four
Many weeks have passed and my relationship with Aziel has deteriorated drastically that even our children noticed and it wouldn’t have been that way if I hadn’t entertained Dylan or given a second thought to any of the things he told me. Although I didn’t admit that Aurora was his child, I became less hostile towards him and would even go on coffee dates with him under Aziel’s permission of course. As I started to get closer to Dylan, Aziel and I drifted apart. He indulged more in work and would only speak to me when necessary. He reminded me a lot of his old self, the Aziel I’d had a contract wedding with. Although Aziel never said it out loud, I knew he wasn’t happy with me seeing Dylan. He had told me to do whatever made me happy and it hurt to see that my actions made him less happy. The other day, Reon had asked me why Aziel rarely ate breakfast with us and I’d come up with an excuse about how he had to be at the office before everyone else but I knew it was only about time bef
The Billionaire’s Red Chapter One Hundred and Three
I left the office late that night around past 9 pm because I was determined to sort out every pending work on my desk. I ended up being the last person to leave the office ‘cause I’d quickly dismissed everyone else in the afternoon. As I walked towards my car parked in the company garage, felt a presence behind me. I didn’t want to know if I’d imagined it or not, I didn’t turn back and instead picked up my pace and hurried over to my car. The person behind me was closing in on me and my heart raced ever faster. Why did I have to park my car so far into the garage? Who was this person following me and what did they want? I could hear the sole of their shoes hitting against the ground. I was walking so fast that I was almost running. I was really scared and thought about calling Aziel but I doubted he would have been able to do anything from where he was. When my car came in sight, I quickly fished out my car key from my purse and pushed the unlock button. I arrived at my car and just

“Aziel.” I said in a small voice, unable to look at him. I couldn’t even deny what he had said because I wasn’t sure if it was the truth or not. I didn’t know if I still had feelings for Dylan or not. I mean my body reacted to him like it had always been but still, that wasn’t enough to conclude that I had feelings for him. It’s been years since I last saw him so it could have just been a one time reaction. “Are you still unable to stop loving him after all these years with me? Are you ever going to stop loving him?” Aziel had never once asked me questions like that. Gone was the usual blank expression on his face, he looked hurt and he wasn’t afraid to let me know that. I felt a dull pang in my chest as I looked at him. He loved me, he’d always made me know that before we got married again (‘cause we had another wedding, a real one this time where my family attended). Although he might not say it often, but he’s told me he loved me before and not once have I ever said it back. “Azi

In the blink of an eye, I comported myself, standing tall with my head held up high even though my heart was thrashing so hard in my ribcage. I held his burning gaze for three seconds before blinking and walking away. As I walked past him, I caught a sniff of his scent. I shut my eyes close and held my breath, preventing myself from perceiving him 'cause his scent was beginning to stir up memories that I had locked for years, memories I had no interest in revisiting. "Wait!" He suddenly said, authoritatively might I add, and unknowingly, I stopped. I stopped. Why did I stop? Why can't I move my legs? I urged my legs to move but they didn't, they couldn't. It almost felt as if I had no control over them and he did the controlling. Like I was a puppet and his voice was just enough to control me. I felt irritated and embarrassed that I waited like he wanted. That even after all these years, his voice still elicited this unexplainable feeling in me. "You are still married..." He s

FIVE YEARS LATER"Mommy!" Reina cried out from somewhere in the house. I could hear the faint knocks on the bathroom door as she knocked on the door with her small hands. "Mommy! Let me in." She cried out again. I quickly rinsed off the soap lather on my face and looked through the glass shower to see that she had managed to let herself in. "What is it, honey? Mommy is taking a shower." She pointed outside the wide-opened bathroom door, her lips were curled downwards and her eyebrows knitted together. "Reon said his dress is prettier than mine! Mommy tell him it's not true! I have the prettiest dress, it's pink and gwOUrgeous and has a cute bow, his is just black and ugly." She stuck out her tongue in distaste. "And he's calling my dress ugly and-and Aurora isn’t taking my side...Mommy come tell him my dress is prettier! I'm prettier, my hair is prettier, my face prettier and he's just jealous of all this beautifulness...Mommy! be fast!" She whined before flailing her arms out in
The Billionaire’s Red Chapter Ninety Nine
“Are you going to say something?” I said after a long moment of silence. I hated that I was standing there, crying and on the verge of losing my mind while he looked as calm as the sea as if he hadn’t heard what I’d said. “I—don’t know what to say.” I had been wrong when I’d said he looked as calm as the sea. Yes his expression was calm, completely unfazed by what I’d just said but his voice on the other hand was different. I don’t think there was ever a time I’d heard Aziel sound so confused. He could have hid it with his expression but his voice gave it away that he was thrown off balance by the news. “I mean you’re pregnant that means…I’m going to be a father again. What I don’t understand is why you’re crying? I don’t know what you were thinking but I’m not like that douche. The child is mine and I’m going to assume full responsibility.” I shook my head and the tears in my eyes dropped. “I’m not having this child. I’m not. Not when I was finally getting my life together. How co
The Billionaire’s Red Chapter Ninety Eight
Aziel had barely stepped out of the house after receiving an urgent call from work when Athena started to bombard me with questions. “Why did your boss hug you like that? Why was he looking at you like that?” She had a skeptical look in her eyes. “What do you mean? He wasn’t looking at me in any way he shouldn’t be.” I said and tried to change the topic by asking if they wanted me to make breakfast for them but I should have known it wouldn’t be as easy as that. If I hadn’t forgotten that she and my mom would be watching us, I wouldn’t have hugged him or done anything that would make me suspicious. “Of course, he was weirdly looking at you.” She glanced at my mom as if asking for backup. “Isn’t he supposed to be your boss?” “And he is.” “So why did it seem like there’s something more between you two? Why did he look at you as if…as if he was in love with you?” If I’d been drinking something at that moment, I would have sputtered it everywhere. Aziel, in love with me? I wanted to
The Billionaire’s Red Chapter Ninety Seven
I woke up the next morning with my head in Aziel's chest. I glanced up at him to see that he was still sleeping very peacefully and I thought he looked cute when he was sleeping. Memories of what we did the previous night came back rushing in and then I felt a slight soreness between my legs. I couldn't help but smile at the thought that Aziel and I had finally done the deed after almost two years. I raised my head from his chest and placed a soft kiss on his chest. Our bodies were covered with the comforter so I raised it slightly to peek in it. I smiled when I realized that we were both still fully naked and that just means that we really had sex. I let my hand wander across his smooth muscular chest before gently moving downward and under the comforter till my hand was holding his flaccid member. As I slowly started to stroke him, I felt him getting harder and bigger in my hand. I found it fascinating that although he was still very deep in sleep, his member wasn't. I pulled the
The Billionaire’s Red Chapter Ninety Six
Many months passed by and it was finally my twenty second birthday. I woke up that morning, extremely excited about my birthday. I’d received loads of wishes at midnight from my college friends, Theo and Alex. And although I appreciated that they all remembered my birthday but the one person I wanted to remember my birthday didn’t seem to remember. It had been that way for my twenty first birthday too, Aziel had forgotten about my birthday too. Theo had been the one to tell Aziel on the night of my birthday that it was my birthday. And although he had apologized then and got me a car the next day as a gift, I couldn’t help but think the same was going to happen that day. As I walked out of my room to the living room, I realized that Aziel had left for work. I frown appeared on my face as I realized that he had forgotten it was my birthday again. He didn’t think to wish me before he left or even send me a birthday message if he was running late. I shook my head and patted my cheeks w
