The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 5
TRAVIS To say I feel like an asshole after my last interaction with Ms. DeLisle would be an understatement. We’ve had this back-and-forth ever since we met, but I guess I took it too far that day. An entire week has passed since the incident and I haven’t seen her. I know she’s been at work, in fact, she’s made a point to clock in with HR every morning and clock out when she leaves. I’m sure that’s for my benefit, but I don’t deserve it. I know I could’ve gone to her to apologize, but every time I was in the building, she was either actively avoiding me, or in the midst of a group of people. So I never found a good time. That changes tonight. I’ve invited her to check out a building I’m thinking about purchasing for our expansion in the Garment District. I don’t need her opinion to be honest, but it’s a plausible enough excuse for why I would want to get her alone. It’s been10 minutes since I got to this old building. I’m probably breathing more dust than I’m supposed to in a lif
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 6
She moves her clutch from one hand to the other, and says, “Thank you, but to be honest I’m the one who should be apologizing. I was a little too sharp with you that day. You are my boss and have every right to question my whereabouts during work hours.”“Yes, I may be your boss, technically, but you aren’t some intern trying to dodge work. It was disrespectful, and I am sorry.”“Well, thank you.” She smiles.“So, how’s your mother doing?”“Oh, she’s fine. Well, as fine as a person with cancer can be.” She casts her eyes to the ground. She looks contemplative. So I know not to ask any other questions.I walk by her and pull the door handle.It doesn’t budge.I try several more times, but nothing.“I think the door is stuck,” I say.“What?” she steps forward and tries it herself a couple times. When she gets the same results I did she huffs. “This can’t be happening. I didn’t tell anyone I was coming here.”“Relax. We can call for help.” I pull my phone out of my pocket. When I see I h

PAIGE If I said I wanted the Earth to open up and swallow me whole in that old building when Travis practically jumped off me like I was made of lava, it would be an understatement. I can’t even begin to express how relieved I was when I tried the door one more time and my prayers were answered and it swung open. I couldn’t get away fast enough. I have tried to think of a time when I was more embarrassed but I have failed. I spent the entire night making suggestive comments to Travis. The whole time I was doing it I knew I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t stop myself. He looked so delicious in his blue three-piece suit. Everything about that man calls to me and I just do not understand it. He’s actively trying to undo all the work I’ve spent my professional life so far creating. He wants to turn my company into something that it isn’t. It might be dramatic to say he wants to destroy everything I have built, but that’s how I feel. Whether I was a part of the company until the day I di
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 8
He looks down at me, holding fierce eye contact before his lips suddenly crash down on mine and the next thing I know, he’s ravaging me.My insides immediately liquefy. I want this so much, but a small part of me knows that I should stop. However, I gag that part of myself and lock her in the closet and attack Travis with as much gusto as I can muster.His hands go to my waist and he pulls my lower body against his.I can feel his hard cock pressed against my lower abdomen. I wrap my arms around his neck and lift myself off the ground and wind my legs behind his back. Without missing a beat his hands go to my ass and he grinds himself into my crotch, and a whimper escapes me.He swiftly walks forward until my back meets the wall. He grinds against me rhythmically as he breaks away from my lips, which is just as well because my vision is starting to blur from lack of oxygen. As I pant and get my equilibrium back, his lips move down my jaw and he nibbles at my neck.I just might combust
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 9
TRAVIS It’s like I’m a prepubescent boy all over again. I can’t get my cock to behave, and I blame Paige. Ever since that night in her office, I haven’t been able to keep her off my mind. It’s literally 9 o’clock at night and I am rolling around in bed, trying to get myself to calm down long enough to go to sleep. However, no matter what I do I have remained unsuccessful. This woman has burrowed herself so far into my subconscious that all I see is her. All I think is her. This morning before I went to work I picked my tie based on what I thought she would like. The scary thing is it felt so natural. I didn’t even realize I had done it until I was in my car on the way to work. If someone told me Paige DeLisle is a witch I would believe them, because a spell has been cast over me. I’ve never been taken with anyone as much as I am with Paige. Not even Felicity. Having sex with her was such a stupid thing to do. I let myself get carried away. Now look what I’ve gotten myselfinto
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 10
PAIGE How could I have been so stupid? I want to be angry at someone right now, but the only person who deserves my wrath is me. My eyes move along the green and white tiles on the wall of the bathroom I shared with my siblings in my childhood. The Christmas music Mom has playing throughout the house filters into the room as I sit on the closed toilet seat in an ugly Christmas sweater. Having sex with Travis that one time was such a stupid thing to do, but even stupider was doing it without protection. Now here I am, hiding from my family on Christmas Eve begging the pregnancy test gods to show some mercy on me. My period is never late. Ever since I got it as a teenager, like clockwork, it comes at the same time every month. I freaked out this afternoon when I realized I was three days late. Most people wouldn’t be worried, but I’m not most people. So I ran out to a 24-hour pharmacy and here I am. It’s been three minutes since I peed on the stick. I standup on wobbly legs, take a
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 11
I sit with my siblings in silence for a moment, then I say, “Matt, I’m sorry.”“For what?” He scrunches his eyebrows together as he gets off the floor and sits in the chair Mom just vacated.“For how hard I came down on you and Dad when Mom fell. It wasn’t your fault nor Dad’s. I know that. I was just scared.”“It’s okay…” he says.“No, it’s not okay. I was such an asshole. Neither one of you deserved that.”“Yes you were, and no we didn’t, but we understood where you were coming from. You haven’t exactly had the easiest time with all of this.”“None of us have. That doesn’t give me the license to treat you guys the way I did.” Matt and Lilly exchange a look, and it doesn’t escape my notice. “What?”Matt puts his hands up in surrender. “Lil, you take this one. She’s bound to blow up at whoever brings it up.”Lily scoffs then turns to me. “We’ve all been having a hard time with this, but none of us have control issues as big as yours. You’re angry with Mom about how she has chosen to f
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 12
TRAVIS “Ihate thinking of you all lonely up there in your ivory tower during the holidays,” Mom says. “Mom, I might be alone but I am not lonely,” I say. “That’s what lonely people say to console themselves.” I laugh. “Mom, really, I’m fine.” “What is it even that’s keeping you so busy over Christmas?” “I just have one or two things I need to do.” “Okay… Well, I’ll stop bugging you. It’s just that, you know your brothers are here, and it would’ve been nice to have all my kids in one place. You know? Before I die.” I roll my eyes. “Even though you’re 79, Mom, I actually think you will outlive all of us.” “Honey, I love you, but the next time you say my age out loud I will come up there and wash your mouth out with soap.” I laugh. “My apologies. Won’t happen again.” “Thank you.” I can hear the humor in her voice. “Just make sure you don’t work too hard. You know, that’s what drove your father into an early grave.” I don’t think you can say a person was driven to

The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 55
I held the door for her to get into the car. My dad picked up Makayla so she could give Deira one last hug while I walked around to get into the driver's side. We waved at everyone, and I drove away. As we wove through the grounds of the estate, I kept looking over, stealing glances at Deira as the dappled sunlight flitted over her, turning her hair gold and making her skin glow. I could feel heat pooling in my groin and a desperate need coursing through my veins. I thought again at how long it would be until we got to the hotel that night, and decided it was simply too long.Instead of turning toward the main road, I looped us around toward the back of the estate. I remembered a particularly secluded spot that was perfect for what I had in mind. A few minutes later, I pulled the car to a stop."Is something wrong?" Deira asked, looking over at me curiously."Nothing's wrong," I replied with a wicked grin. "I just don't want to wait until we get to Hawaii." When she realized what I me

CASSIUSThree Months LaterDeira made a beautiful bride.Watching her walk down the aisle toward me, with all our family and friends present, I knew that I had made the right choice in asking her to marry me. In fact, I knew that every choice I had made since that moment I decided to step into that steam room, despite it unexpectedly being occupied, had been the right choice.It was a simple ceremony, because once I'd proposed and she'd accepted, we both wanted things to move quickly. Neither of us saw a reason to wait. So, our whole wedding party was just three people. Scott was my one groomsman, and Dani was her one bridesmaid, and Makayla was the flower girl. In fact, Makayla was something of a flower empress, having demanded to be put in charge of all the floral decisions for the wedding. When that happened, Deira just laughed and looked at me."She gets this from you, you know," she had said, smirking.For my part, I thought she had made great decisions. The flowers looked beauti

A few days later,I was standing outside a hospital room, fidgeting with my dress. Cassius took my hand, pulling it away from the floral garment."You look great," he whispered. "Don't worry." We were about to go into his mother's hospital room, where his parents were waiting to meet Makayla and I for the first time. Makayla was bopping excitedly beside me. She had been on cloud nine ever since Cassius and I had explained that she had grandparents, and they were waiting to meet her. I, on the other hand, was very nervous."Ready?" Cassius asked. I took a deep breath, and nodded.It turned out that I didn't have anything to be nervous about. Cassius's father immediately stood up and gave me a warm hug, and his mother insisted I come sit by her so she could hold my hand and talk to me. They both were very kind to me and, more importantly, to Makayla. Just as she'd been with Cassius, Makayla seemed instantly at ease with them. It didn't take long before she was chatting away to them, talk

DEIRALeave it to Cassius to make a dramatic entrance, I reflected as I stared at him from afar. Whether it was barging into my steam room or crashing into my car or running through the airport yelling my name, he never did anything subtly. I looked at him, standing there breathing heavily. Had he run through the airport looking for me?I glanced back at Dani, and she raised an eyebrow. She didn't have to say anything more for me to understand the question she was asking. That raised eyebrow said, well, what are you going to do? It might as well have said, well, Deira, what do you want? I hadn't expected to have to answer that question at the airport, right before we went through security, but apparently, that's what was happening. Now I had two choices.I could turn my back on Cassius, take Makayla's hand, and walk through the security gate toward a totally new life, or I could go over to Cassius and ask him why he was here. I could give him one last chance to be part of my life. It

CASSIUSThough my mother was doing well, I still spent the next week or so in the hospital. Now that I'd reconciled with my parents, I wanted them to know that I was there for them. But also, I knew that once I returned to my real life, I would need to talk to Deira, and I wasn't ready. Not because I wasn't sure what to say—in fact, the opposite. I knew that I wanted Makayla and Deira to be part of my life now, and forever. But we'd had such a rocky path, I was a little scared of how Deira would respond to me.So, I put it off for days, until my mom finally prodded me to leave the hospital."You've been here forever," she said. "Go home, get a shower, and get a good night's sleep. And then, once you're refreshed, maybe talk to your girlfriend about us meeting our granddaughter." She winked at me."She's not my girlfriend, Mom," I protested, feeling like a teenager."But you like her, right?" my mother asked, and all I could do was grin in response. "See," she continued. "You have to g

The next morning, Dani took Makayla to school on her way to work, letting me sleep in. I laid around her apartment all morning in my pajamas, then went for a quick run before getting myself some lunch. I was very consciously not thinking about work, or Cassius, or anything else. I had half-expected him to call me at some point, but he didn't, and I couldn't help but be relieved. I didn't think I could talk to him until I decided what to do about Mr. White.In the afternoon, I picked up Makayla from school and took her to the park to play. That night, the three of us made pasta and played board games. It was nice to have some time to just have fun, without thinking about all of the stress of the past few months. The next day, after dropping off Makayla at school, I found myself thinking about my blog. I hadn't thought about it in months. I went to the home page and started looking over some of my past entries. Before long, I found myself writing down ideas for new posts. It had been ye

DEIRA I had hurried inside after getting out of Cassius's car, but I didn't want to go back to Dani's apartment when I was so upset. I waited until I saw Cassius drive away, and then I went back out to take a walk around the neighborhood. I had meant to calm down, but I found myself reliving our conversation and soon I was crying. Cassius not believing me about Mr. White hurt even more than I had let on. I'd let out all my anger on him, but beneath the anger was a deep pain and a sense of betrayal. Why did he think I would make something like that up? What did I have to gain from that? And did our relationship mean so little to him that the word of an employee he barely knew was better than my word? That last part stung more than I wanted to admit. For all the ups and downs of our relationship, it had never felt meaningless to me, but it seemed for Cassius this always came second to his job. He believed Mr. White over me, just like he had taken a business call instead of watching

After I got my dad calmed down, I went to find the doctor. I wanted a clear understanding of the accident and my mother's injuries. The doctor confirmed that the coma appeared to be because her body had been through a trauma, and that there was nothing worrying on the scans. All her other injuries were minor, especially considering the severity of the accident, but we wouldn't know her true status until she woke up. I made sure he understood that I was the point person now, and that my mom was to want for nothing. He nodded and reiterated that there was nothing to be done but wait. The waiting was excruciating.I found myself wanting to call Deira, but remembering the look on her face as she'd slammed the car door, I didn't think that was a good idea. I called Scott instead. He offered to come to the hospital, but I asked him to take care of the business instead. That way, I could concentrate on taking care of my parents."Of course, man. Whatever you need. Anything else I can do?" he
The Billionaire's Secret Baby chapter 47
The address wasn't far, and I made it there in twenty minutes. Deira was just taking Makayla inside when I pulled up. I waited in the car and a few minutes later she emerged. I was going to get out and meet her, but she walked right to the car and got into the passenger seat."I can't talk long," she said. "But I realized storming off like that earlier wasn't helpful, so I wanted to try to explain." She fidgeted, like she was nervous."I did talk to Mr. White," I said, wondering if what he said was true, and now she was nervous because she regretted her actions. At his name, she glanced over at me sharply."Did he admit what happened?" she asked, seeming surprised."He told me his side of things. Why don't you tell me yours?" At the phrasehis side of things, her face fell. She looked down at her hands and took a deep breath. Finally, she spoke."He accused me of sleeping with you to get my job," she said quietly."What?!" I hadn't been expecting that at all, and I was so shocked I fel
