The Billionaire's Sugar Baby Chapter 24
—Ava had always been the lively one, the playful spirit among them. But now, she looked different—more mature, her beauty radiant even in the dim lighting. Emma hadn’t realised how much she missed her until that moment, until she felt the familiar comfort of Ava's embrace. She managed a small, shaky smile, one that told Ava everything she needed to know: how desperately she needed her right now.Ava pulled back, still grinning, but when she turned to Natalie, her smile faded a little. She acknowledged her with a nod, though Emma could sense the slight tension between them. Natalie and Ava had never been as close as Emma was to each of them individually, and tonight that gap seemed more evident than ever.“Well…You are welcome Ava” Natalie said Ava nodded without giving her a response but Natalie knew something was wrong.Natalie, however, didn’t seem to care. She was already back to her old ways, ready to stir trouble. She raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips as she asked,

—EMMA POVAva pulled me into her room, and it looked very old. Her parents had died and this home was all they gave to her.“Aren't you going to clean this home?” I asked my voice barely above a whisper as I glance around the whole house.She smirked “I will but not now, so tell me something” she said demanding the truth of everything.I walked towards the couch, and sat slowly, she offered me a glass of water and sat beside me, her gaze was locked on me like she was feeling some kind of sympathy for me.“What's with the look on your face?” I asked, smiling at her.“You are beautiful, now that you are pregnant” she said “Is that a compliment or what Ava" I askedShe nodded “Yeah, of course,it is a compliment and I mean it” she said I nodded.“How about we sit outside, I am not really comfortable, I hope you understand me” I said my voice barely above a whisper.She smirked “This baby is going to change you, how on earth do you prefer sitting outside in this cold night” she said I

EMMA POV—-I thought about it for a moment, letting the silence stretch between us. “Then she’ll leave me no choice but to leave her,its my life and my choice” I said finally, and I forced a smile, though it felt like my heart was breaking. “I can’t keep living my life trying to make everyone else happy. I have to think about me and this baby now.”Ava didn’t say anything, but she nodded, a slow, understanding nod that told me she had heard every word. She walked with me, side by side, until we reached my house. The street was dark, the only light coming from a single lamp post flickering a few yards away.“Guess your mom’s asleep, Now,” she said, glancing at the darkened windows.I nodded, feeling a wave of exhaustion hit me. “Yeah.”“You’re strong, Emma,” Ava said, and her voice was so quiet, I almost thought I imagined it. “Stronger than what you or nobody thinks. But you don’t have to be strong all the time. It’s okay to ask for help, to lean on someone. Just don’t give up, okay?
The Billionaire's Sugar Baby Chapter 27
EMMA POVI dropped my gaze to my hands, my fingers playing nervously with the hem of my sleeve. There was something I hadn’t told her, something I was terrified to reveal, knowing it would only make things worse."Mom..." I stuttered, my heart pounding in my chest."What is it? Is it so hard for you to answer my question?" she asked, her eyes narrowing as she leaned in closer. "Who got you pregnant, Emma?"I opened my mouth to speak, but just as the words were about to escape my lips, the front door creaked open, and in walked Ava, my best friend, with a tall, lean guy beside her. He had sharp features, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to catch every flicker of light in the room."Aunt," Ava said brightly, oblivious to the tense atmosphere, or maybe she was just pretending not to notice. "I’m sorry to interrupt, but I thought I’d drop by. And, well, Daniel here wanted to see Emma." She gestured towards the guy, and I could see the hint of a mischievous smile on her lips.I raised

EMMA POVAfter my mom went out of the house because I pissed her off and didn't agree to what she wanted.“I need to speak with you Ava” I said as I walked outside too.The sun was starting to dip behind the trees, casting a soft, golden glow across the yard as I rushed outside, my pulse still drumming from the conversation with my mom. Ava was waiting, leaning casually against her car, her smile wide and proud. She had every reason to be; she’d just pulled off a masterstroke of confusion, diverting my mom’s attention with a lie so quick it made my head spin.I caught my breath, hesitated, then approached her. "Ava," I said, my voice barely above a whisper."Yes? Are you happy? Everything is solved and okay now, isnt it?" she replied, her face bright with that same confident smile, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "I managed to confuse her, didn't I?"I paused, trying to figure out how to say what was bouncing around my head. "Well you did, but what was that for? And who is that guy

EMMA POV —--"And you’re dramatic, Or do you think I am not being serious right now?" she shot back. "Look, Emma, this can work. Daniel needs a wife, you need a solution. Just… get to know him a little. Have a few conversations. Worst case, you both decide it’s not gonna work, and we come up with Plan B."I hesitated, letting the idea sink in. It was crazy. But also… maybe not as crazy as I’d thought a few minutes ago. "Fine," I said, finally. "But if this blows up in my face, I’m blaming you."Ava grinned, pulling me into a quick hug. "Deal. But it won’t. Trust me."---The next morning, I found myself pacing around the kitchen, waiting for Ava to show up with some coffee and a plan. I’d barely slept, tossing and turning as I tried to wrap my head around everything. When she finally strolled in, two steaming cups in hand, she looked far too cheerful for someone who’d caused my latest crisis."Good morning, future Mrs. Daniel," she teased, handing me a cup.I nearly choked on my firs

EMMA POV—"To register our marriage and show it to my family, so they would let me have what belongs to me" he said simply, like it was the most logical thing in the world."So soon?" I blurted out, the words escaping before I could stop myself."Yeah, we can't waste more time." There was a finality in his tone that brooked no argument. I didn’t ask any more questions. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was curiosity—either way, I followed him out, and within minutes, we were driving through the city streets. The ride was quiet, with neither of us knowing exactly what to say.After a few hours, the formalities were completed. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that, on paper, we were now officially a married couple. It didn’t feel real, yet here I was, holding a marriage certificate in my hand. Daniel drove in silence, his focus solely on the road as if to avoid any awkward conversations.We finally arrived at a mansion, an imposing structure with manicured lawns, ornate iron gat

EMMA POVAfter a few minutes of discussion, they both finally walked back to the dining table.“Well, what happened?” She asked, her gaze on Daniel and her father, it was as if she was expecting something to happen at that moment.“Nothing happened, we only discussed something important” Mr Gave said “Oh..” Racheal blurted “What were you expecting?” Mrs Gave asked“Well, we were in the middle of an important discussion, about Daniel's marriage, perhaps we could continue now” Rachael said Why do I sense something weird about her?“Yeah right” Mr Gave finally came to his sensesI cleared my throat silently, my hands on my mouth and I adjusted properly on the chair.“Where did we stop?” Mr Gave asked I glared at the table, hoping Racheal wouldn't say ‘We asked if she was pregnant’“Well…” Rachael said I held the glass cup which was filled with water, waiting for a moment to sip the water if Rachael reminds them about the weird question they asked her The conversation at the dining

EMMA POVI sat outside Mom's hospital room, lost in the serene landscape beyond the window. The gentle rustle of leaves and chirping birds offered a fleeting escape from the weight of her illness. Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the tranquility."Emma."I turned to see Natalie standing behind me, her eyes tinged with a mix of guilt and hesitation."Hey, still here?" I replied softly, my curiosity piqued.Natalie's gaze darted around the hospital corridor before settling on me. "I'm heading home, but I wanted to just stop buy before leaving and apologise for...everything." Her voice trembled.I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What's going on, Natalie? You're being really cryptic, you did nothing wrong."Natalie took a step closer, her eyes locking onto mine. "I know I shouldn't have said such a thing that day. I was stressed, and I took it out on you. I'm so sorry."My expression softened. "It's nothing, Natalie. Friends fight, and we settle." I offered a reassuring smile.Natalie's f

ROBERT POV Hours passed as I tried to piece together fragments of the night, but it was all a haze. Carolyn had locked herself in the guest room, refusing to speak to me, her sobs echoing faintly through the walls.The kids noticed, their wide-eyed gazes flicking between me and the closed door, sensing the tension. They didn’t ask questions, but the silence was damning, like a silent judgment hanging over me.That evening, I confronted Carolyn.She looked at me with a scornful smile, her lips curving slightly as she crossed her arms. “What do you want, Robert? I already told you everything that happened, do I Have the energy to force you on me? I don't, you did it yourself and you were satisfied,so what more do you want?”“I want answers, real answers, tell me the truth” I replied, my voice a mixture of frustration and desperation. “What happened last night?”“You don’t remember?” she asked, feigning innocence. “Or are you just pretending, so you can escape the blame?”“I don’t trust

EMMA POV“What's the problem?” Daniel asked, his gaze drifting between me and Ava I smirked back at him so he wouldnt know what we were talking about “We were just discussing something important” I said my voice firm.ROBERT POV“What a long day” I said as I dropped my car keys in front of the table, my hands in between my chest as I zipped off.The phone's screen glared back at me, messages lined up, missed calls pinging in one after another. But I couldn't bring myself to respond. I slouched back in the armchair, sinking into its worn leather. My fingers absentmindedly tapped the armrest, my mind drifting. Everything felt hollow.The door swung open without a knock. Carolyn stood in the doorway, her familiar smirk tugging at her lips as she walked in, balancing two glasses and a bottle of wine.“Welcome, Robert,” she purred, eyes glinting as they trailed over me.I sat up, frowning. “A little privacy would be nice, Carolyn. Knock next time,” I muttered, my voice low, weary. But Ca

EMMA POVRobert’s mind raced, his heart hammering beneath his ribs. She was here, just a few steps away from him. All he had to do was go to her. But his feet felt leaden, held back by the weight of years of unspoken words, regrets, and the tangled mess their lives had become.“Does she… know I’m here?” Robert finally asked, his voice barely more than a whisper.Doctor Caleb shook his head. “Not yet. But… perhaps it’s time? Time to introduce yourself ”“I don't think I should do that, Daniel hasn't introduced us yet” Robert said, his voice barely above a whisper.---Back in her room, Emma shifted restlessly, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. Memories of Robert drifted through her mind like ghosts. She could almost hear his voice, feel his presence. Her heart beat faster, a pang of bittersweet longing settling deep within her chest.But as soon as she closed her eyes, trying to calm her racing heart, a nurse entered, startling her back to reality.“Ms. Emma,” the nurse said with a soft,

EMMA POVThe name the doctor had called tugged at a memory, pulling me abruptly from the present. My hand hovered in midair, caught in the space between now and then, a blur of faces and voices swimming before me until Natalie's touch brought me back.“Hey,” she said, her fingers pinching my arm lightly but sharply. Her gaze was expectant, a bit concerned, and just a little exasperated. “Huh” I said “Snap out of everything and be your self, your mom is going to be alright” she said “Yeah…” I replied, blinking to clear my thoughts. “Yeah, send my regards to him, and tell him I appreciate what he did. Truly,I am grateful”.Natalie watched me, her expression softening a bit. “How about her treatment?” she asked, tone practical but probing. “Should they proceed? Do we keep her here? Or… should she be at home, resting with her medications? You have to select one so they can work on her treatment quickly”My gaze slid over to Daniel, who’d been standing quietly just behind her. He met my

DANIEL POVI ended the call and looked over at Emma, still curled under the blankets, her breathing slow and steady. She was in the early stages of pregnancy, and her body was already working hard, making her more tired than usual. But now was not the time to let her rest.I approached the bed and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. “Emma,” I said, my voice soft but firm. “Wake up, how are you feeling? I am sorry i disrupt your sleep.”She stirred, blinking sleepily at me. “What’s wrong? Why did you wake me up all of a sudden? Is there a problem?” she murmured, her words slurred with sleep.I hesitated, hating the thought of breaking this news to her, but there was no way around it. “Ava just called. Your mom... she’s in the hospital. It’s critical.”Emma’s eyes shot open, all traces of drowsiness vanishing. “What? My mom is in the hospital? How did that even happen?” she gasped, pushing herself up on the bed, her movements frantic. “How is that possible? Hospital all of a sudden? S

ROBERT AND NINAROBERTThe hospital's sterile corridors stretched out like a labyrinth of lost hopes, echoing the whispers of the wounded. Fluorescent lights above cast an unforgiving glare, illuminating the frailty of human existence. Every step resonated with the weight of uncertainty, each door hiding a story of joy or despair.In the wards, rows of beds held the fragile bodies of loved ones, their faces etched with pain, fear, and longing. Monitors beeped like anxious heartbeats, tracking the delicate balance between life and death. The scent of antiseptic and desperation hung heavy in the air.In this sacred space, families clung to fragile threads of hope, praying for miracles. Doctors and nurses moved with compassionate urgency, their faces masks of resolve, their eyes betraying the emotional toll.Every room concealed a unique struggle: a child's tears, a parent's anguish, a couple's tender touch.

Natalie and Emma hasn't spoken for days and Ava has been very busy and she was happy that their plan has been going well and successful, Emma had decided to stay with Daniel only for temporary.---Ava sighed deeply, her heels clicking softly on the pavement as she approached her front door. The sun was dipping below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the neighborhood. She had just come from Emma’s house, running errands on her behalf again. It wasn’t like Emma to be so distant, but with everything going on, Ava figured it was only natural.But there, leaning casually against Ava’s front gate, was Natalie.Ava’s expression darkened instantly. “Why are you here?”Natalie’s lips curled into a sly, almost mocking smile. “Oh, don’t act so surprised. Seems like I’m the bad guy now, huh?”Ava didn’t even bother to respond. Instead, she rolled her eyes, her irritation barely concealed. “Emma isn’t around, if that’s what you came for.”“I just want to talk,” Natalie said, her tone

EMMA POVI shook my head, frustrated. "Of course it’s not real, Daniel. This is just, just… temporary, yeah temporary. We both know that.""If you think this is not real and you decide not to follow up with our plan,What do you think will happen if our cover is blown?" he snapped. His voice was low, but the edge was sharp. "This isn’t just about us. It’s about my position in the company, we can't afford to lose or act slow at the moment. You need to think of a proper way to handle it."I could feel my irritation rising. "How about you?" I shot back. "You’re in this just as much as I am. This was your idea, remember? You can't put everything on me and when you achieve everything you want, you let go of me just like that""My parents need to see me settled," he said, his voice cool. "Once they hand over my position, it doesn’t matter if we stay together or not. It’ll be on me, not you anymore." He stepped out of the car, and I followed, trailing a few steps behind.As we entered the li
