Trinity's POVI grabbed the test results tighter and went over it again for the third time. My eyes were not playing fucking tricks on me. I was pregnant.Three weeks pregnant!“Oh my god!” I screamed, then remembered that I was at work and quickly held my hand over my mouth. I jumped in my heels and squeezed my eyes shut, collapsing into my seat with a silent scream into my palm.Finally.Finally!After trying so hard to get pregnant with a Darnell baby, I finally succeeded. I dropped the test results on my desk and looked down at my belly with a huge smile. I could not even contain my excitement.I was now so close to my dream that I could taste it. Turned out that my efforts at drugging Cameron Darnell and making him have sex with me, and cum inside me did not go to waste. Rodri might have been too stubborn to impregnate me, directly or indirectly, but at least I got the chairman.Now, Vanessa’s bastard baby was the fraud and a tool to keep Rodri deceived, while I nurture my real
Trinity's POVHis eyes met mine, and the only reaction he had to seeing me… was to blink. Asides that, his face remained as stony and expressionless as ever. It made me feel awkward and disappointed.Usually, he would ask me what I was doing here. But now, he was acting like he truly doesn’t give a fuck about anything about me. And that burned.“Hey, baby.” I smiled sensually, batting my lashes at him sensually. “I thought I could join you for dinner, since you’re having dinner alone.”He stared at me for a long moment, like he was trying to decide if I was worth a reply from him. My smile slowly faded, but not completely. I had to remain nice and sweet if I wanted him to be back on speaking terms with me.“Judging by your untouched food, I’d say you just got here not too long ago.” I smiled and slid into the comfy seat opposite him. “I’ll keep you company.”“I don’t want your company.” He finally said, closing his laptop. He did not sound harsh, for once. Yet his tone wasn’t exactly
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXRodri's POVTrinity picked up one of the wine glasses, twirling it before taking her sip through her blood red lips.Her dark eyelashes fluttered close as she let out an appreciative sound. “Hm. The wine tastes great.” She looked back at me and smiled, “Why don’t we have a cheers, to being on speaking terms again.”I wordlessly reached to take the other glass and took a sip. It admittedly tasted great, but I really didn’t fucking care. I had lost my appetite the moment she walked up to my table. I just wanted to wrap up on what I had displayed on my laptop, before heading home for the night.But I probably wouldn’t be able to do that anymore now that Trinity had invited herself to my table.“Cheers?” She pressed on, extending her wine glass towards me. Her bronze hair shimmered glossily as she moved. “I’ve been having a lot of practice recently, Rodri, and I can say that I’ve become a better wine drinker than you.”I raised my glass to click slightly against hers. Th
Vanessa's POVI could not believe what was going on right now. Rodri was right inside my room so late at night, with his shirt unbuttoned flaunting his broad, ripped chest, eight-pack and tattoo. And he was heading straight to my bed, claiming it was his.What was he doing all the way in the east wing, crashing things and cursing?Was he drunk?“This is my room, Mr. Darnell.” I said, following him closely.My voice trembled as I spoke, because of his overwhelming presence invading the privacy of my bedroom. Especially when it was nighttime, and so quiet around us. My body was experiencing shivers, as he bulldozed his way through my room.He paused at the side of my bed, and I moved to stand beside him, looking up at him with panic. His eyes were half-open, slowly moving sideways till his hazel gaze was on me. I gulped.“What the fuck are you talking about?” He muttered, then tried to pull his shirt off his shoulders. “Why is it so fucking hot…”Something like panic, confusion and fe
Rodri's POVI opened my eyes, feeling drowsier than fucking ever. Immediately I regained consciousness, I knew that whatever sleep I was waking up from was not natural. Because usually, I would never black out this deep, and for this long.“Mr. Darnell, you are awake.” A soft voice said from somewhere above me. “How do you feel? Can you see me clearly?”I blinked and turned my face slightly in the direction the voice was coming from. Slowly, my vision cleared out and I saw that there was a lady in a nurse uniform standing by my bed. She was fiddling with an IV tube on my wrist, smiling kindly at me.“Yeah, I see you.” I said, and my voice came out hoarse. Slowly, I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital ward.What the fuck?“That’s great. It means the effects of your allergic reaction have been significantly reduced.”My allergic reaction? I was completely lost, wondering what she could even be talking about. The last thing I remembered was that I was getting out of my car, co
Rodri's POVDoctor Ryan came into the room a few moments later, when I had already disconnected the IV tube from my arm and was standing by the glass wall of the VIP hospital ward, staring at the night sky outside.“I knew you would be out of the bed the moment you woke up.” He chuckled, walking closer.I turned away from the outside view to stare at him instead. He was in his doctor’s white coat as usual, with his glasses hanging off the bridge of his nose. He paused in front of me, and asked,“How are you feeling, Rodri? Any more symptoms?”“I’m fine.” I said a bit too forcefully. Then I closed my eyes briefly, brushing my hand through my hair. “I am just so fucking pissed off at that restaurant. I’m a fucking regular costumer of theirs, but they should be expecting a lawsuit pretty soon.”Doctor Ryan nodded grimly. “It’s strange. Because the amount of allergy properties I found in the blood test we conducted, was a lot. Almost concentrated. And your reaction to it was very serious,
Vanessa's POVI should be sleeping. But I could not fall asleep, no matter how hard I tried. My nutritionist had come by and made me a warm meal, and a filling, queen breakfast to replenish the energy I must have “lost” staying up all night at Dolphin hospital.I was upset at how I had acted out of my place, following Rodri to the hospital and staying by his side all night as if I had any importance to him, or his family.I was literally a stranger.But I could not explain the kind of possessiveness and worry that had struck me when I saw him be so vulnerable, for the first time.I sighed and closed my eyes, snuggling deeper into my pillows. And then when he woke up, all that vulnerability had disappeared.He had become the cold and detached billionaire CEO of Dolphin group again, with his hazel eyes hard and non-negotiable again. And he had impassively sent me home.That had harshly reminded me that I had no business being worried about him. The many workers in that hospital would
Vanessa's POVI heard the chairman’s boisterous voice before I even caught sight of him. He was talking with the Chef, as well as one of the assistant nurses. I had no idea that she was still around the mansion even.I paused behind a wall, and took in a deep breath. Then I stepped forward. The sound of my heels cut into their conversation, and three pairs of eyes moved in my direction. Four pairs of eyes actually, if I included those of the chairman’s bodyguard in a jet black suit standing in the corner.I plastered a bright smile on my face as I approached, and once I was close enough, I lowered my head politely at him.“Good afternoon, Mr. Darnell. I was told you wanted to see me.”He stared at me with delight in his eyes, before he let out an impressed laugh and motioned for me to sit down.“Miss Sterling! Of course, I want to see you, you’re carrying my grandchild and that makes you so precious to me.” He smiled kindly. “You look so radiant, does this mean you are happy with the
Vanessa’s POVRodri walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from his head down his body and I just sat in the bed and watched him clean his body with the towel.A freaking towel touching my man’s body? Parts that should exclusively belong to me.I made a mental note of getting rid of that towel as I tiptoed to where he was standing and grabbed his nipples from behind.“Babe…” he turned to me and I immediately took one nipple with my mouth and the other with my hand.Immediately his moans filled the room as he grabbed a handful of my hair in ecstasy.I raised my head to look at his face and stole my lips with his. Kissing and sucking my tongue like his life depended on it.He ripped off my transparent nightwear and started sucking my breast.I threw my head backwards, giving him full access to my body. He pushed me till my back was against the wall then he raised one of my legs up and inserted a finger inside me.“You’re wet baby… you’re wet for me.”“Ohhh.. yes.. just for you.”
Estelle’s POV “Mo, this is not the way to the hospital.” I said as Moses drove through a very unfamiliar route. “You didn’t believe me when I said we were going to the hospital to see those kids. Did you?” I gave him a questioning glare. “Come on babe, don’t you think it’s too late to go to a hospital to look for kids you don’t even know personally?” “So…” I was still glaring at him and it somehow seemed funny to him as he laughed like he just heard the joke of the century. “I’m sorry babe but I was pulling your legs.” “I thought you wanted to go to the hospital to be sure I wasn’t lying to you.” “Why will I ever doubt you?” He placed a hand on mine while still concentrating on the road. “I will never doubt you babe. I trust you and I love you.” My glare slowly turned into a little smile with puppy eyes. “Stop it Moses. It’s so cringey.” “I can’t stop loving you so you have to manage my cringiness.” “Is there any word like that in the dictionary?” I asked, la
Rodri’s POV I didn’t believe I’d feel the way I felt when I saw Benson at the hospital looking all pale and white. It was the doctor's assurance and Vanessa’s support that helped me overcome that day and the other days that followed till he became well again. “I’m ready babe.” Vanessa’s voice dragged my strayed attention. I got up and gave her a forehead kiss as we left the bedroom together. We went to Rainn’s bedroom to see him and his grandma that was always with him. “Morning mom.” Vanessa and I chorused. Vanessa turned to me and smiled, giving me a slight tickle on my waist. “You know you are the overly ticklish one and you’re looking for trouble.” I whispered in her ear and she giggled in response. Rainn chuckled too in his cradle like he could hear what I was saying to his mother. I walked to where he was, carried him and started throwing him up. His laughter filled the room giving me a kind of satisfaction I never thought I’d ever have. I gave him a ki
Estelle’s POV After that remarkable night with Moses, I woke up to my head on his firm chest and his strong arms around my body. It was the best night of my life. Though since then I’ve been wondering what we really were and if he was feeling the same way I was feeling. I could only hope I wasn’t losing myself easily again. The sound of my phone ringing dragged back my attention. And as expected, the caller was Moses. “Hello dreamboat, how is my pookie bear doing?” Typical of Moses he’s always having new cute names for me. “Mo…” I knew I sounded exhausted, but I should have controlled it because the man I was talking to would freak out. “Why are you sounding this way? Still at work? Haven’t you closed for the day? Aren’t they…” “Calm down Mo, don’t stress about it. I’m good.” “We both know you’re not.” “Well it’s because I’m mis…” I almost told him I was missing him. I heaved a sigh We weren’t officially together so I didn’t want to seem like I was despera
Vanessa’s POV “Ms Trinity Seaman, you’re found guilty of all the charges against you, therefore, you’re hereby sentenced to ten years imprisonment with hard labor.” The judge ruled the case against her and hit the gavel on the bench. I couldn’t help but notice the look of horror on Trinity’s face when the judgment was made. I saw regrets, fear and pains written all over her. I wished I could turn back the hand of time and not go to her for an abortion. But which other way would I have met Rodri? “My baby…” was the last word I could read from her lips as the prison officers dragged her out of the courtroom. Rodri’s grip tightened on my hand and I turned to see him giving me a reassuring smile. “It’s not your fault babe. You didn’t tell her to try to poison me or drug dad and try to have his child. She doesn’t deserve your pity.” I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall off my eyes. “What about her child?” I asked him as we walked out of the courthouse. “
Trinity’s POV The entrance of the cheap driver into the interrogation room destabilized me for a split second. I thought he already confessed to Angela and her husband what we had that night and I mentioned him out of impulse, which I was already starting to regret. I didn’t want to say that but I was at a dead end, I needed to get myself off the mess I was in. Though I still couldn’t believe the results of the DNA tests Angela threw at me proved whatever she claimed. The cheapskate driver’s hands started shaking as he tried in vain to open the door and leave. “It’s him what?” Rodri scoffed. I could see the confusion on his face mirror on his parents face. But Vanessa kinda looked indifferent, like she knew what the next thing I’d say. Ugh! I hate this bitch and how highly she thinks of herself now that she has Rodri. I hate her so much that I wish she’d just fall down and die at this moment! “If the result of the DNA test says the child is not a Darnell, which I st
Rodri’s POV We got to the hospital to meet Trinity panting like she had just finished a one thousand five hundred meter race. “You!” She pointed at Vanessa as soon as she saw her. “You betrayed me, you went ahead and fell in love with him against your own words! I will make you regret it.” “Sure you will after telling us.. no, after telling the world how you got pregnant and tried to pin the bastard on my son and husband by drugging and having sex with him.” Mom threw the result of the DNA tests she did at Trinity’s face. Trinity paused momentarily then took a deep breath. “Who.. how.. you…” She was obviously flustered by mom and how her secret got exposed. “Who told me and how did I know?” Mom fired at her. The door opened and two police officers walked in. “Miss Trinity Seaman, you are under arrest for…” “You can’t arrest me…” “I’ll advise you to remain silent for anything you say might be used against you in the court of law. “What about my son, what would becom
Rodri’s POV “I’m coming with you.” Vanessa said as she entered the bathroom after I came out. I would have stubbornly gone to see mom last night after dads call if not for the unexpected rain that showed up suddenly and Vanessa used the opportunity she had to give me a good blow job that if not for much self control, I would have fucked her silly. I saw my face turning red in the mirror. I wasn’t a baby and it wasn’t even the first time I was given a blow job and truth be told, it wasn’t the best I’d ever had but somehow I found myself blushing at the thought of it. “And why is your face red?” I didn’t need to turn to know it was Vanessa. And she was in her birthday suit. The fuck was going on in her silly mind? She didn’t even look like someone that just delivered a child, if not for the little scar on her stomach, no one would know she was ever pregnant. “You’re beautiful...” I heard myself say without my knowledge. She came to me, stole a kiss an
Estelle’s POVAfter Vanessa ran off, I laughed inwardly because I didn’t want Moses to know that I was happy being alone with him, even though I was mad at him.I knew what Vanessa did, she wanted me to settle things quickly with Moses because if this misunderstanding lingers, it could cost us a chance at a beautiful relationship I was hoping to have with him.Still, I told myself to remind myself that I was going to kill Vanessa the next time I saw her for being a traitor and a betrayer.“I like her.” He said, as he started driving again.“Why won’t you?” I rolled my eyes. “…when she’s on your side.”“Just know that I love anything and anyone you love.”I scoffed. What in the name of cheesiness?“Doesn’t matter, I won’t forgive you for lying to me.”He drove to one side of the road and pulled over. Brought out his phone from his pocket and started searching for whatever while I watched him like he was acting out a scene in a movie.“Yes! This is it!” He sounded and looked enthusiasti
