The Billionaire’s Unplanned Baby Chapter 42
Thea“I know you might be wondering why I resorted to blackmail when I could have just persuaded your father.” Her eyes nodded a yes as she stared at me with extra attention, her hands were placed on the couch she was no longer leaning into, and I feared she would jump at me if I said even one wrong word. “I resorted to blackmail because I got the information late and if I had waited just a day longer, we both would have lost everything. Everything Thea, you would have been left penniless.”The walls around me looked like they were spinning as I heard these words, there was deafening silence but my ears were hot and it sounded like loud sounds were being played in my head. I looked up at Tyler still in the same position; he took his eyes away from me and glanced around the room awkwardly. And then I screamed. “WHAT?” “WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?”"Thea, I-""Shut it please, just shut it." I let Tyler into the house willingly yet he had the guts to stand in front of me and utt

THEAAs I sat in my office, playing with the rim of my favourite coffee mug, my mind was swirling with a whirlwind of emotions — anger, hope, relief, forgiveness and some others I couldn’t define. Tyler's revelation had left me utterly flabbergasted. As he was saying it, God knows I didn’t believe, not until I had my own check did I believe him and how bewildered I was. I intentionally did the research myself, with a little help from my men.Father’s manager wanted to sell the company after all. I remember he would come with father, looking all sorry about the fact that the investors were pulling out and the company was losing money. Even after all the other workers had resigned, he was still with father, telling him to do this and do that. I was pretty sure he made father get that much loan from those people who threatened to harm Lily if their money wasn’t paid. How could he have done that? How could have betrayed my father? And all because he wanted to sell our family company? It w

THEAI woke up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee and I smiled. Cora and her ways with making coffee. I was on my bed for a while, reminiscing on the event of last night. Tyler ensured he created a bond between him and Lily and I was sure if I told her we'd be meeting him again, she would be thrilled.He passed the test, which means I would give him a chance? I wasn't so sure what to do but then any decision I make now will all be in Lily's favour. And it must be now. I sighed and got off the bed, feeling the need to drain down Cora's hot coffee down my burning throat. As I approached the sitting room, I heard Cora talking to someone. Mark must have arrived earlier and I have never seen him talk to Cora before, I was curious so I didn't go through the kitchen directly, I went to the sitting room and stood still for a while - there he was, Sebastian. He was standing in my living room. It was as if he had materialized out of thin air, or had slept here overnight. He would never come

TYLERI got out of the car feeling all brand new. It was my first time going to pick my daughter - the daughter I never planned for. But then, I loved the new me, and having a daughter changed me since Thea came back to Manhattan. I became a changed person. I smiled, knowing I wasn't thinking about Thea the way I was before. I made a promise to take good care of Lily and I wouldn't ever forger that. She was unplanned for, but in my power, with all I had, I will give Lily the best life a child could ever ask for.Having a daughter was unplanned, but then, as at now, I already have a lot I envisioned with Lily. My mind wandered through the fun time we had that night and how I had wanted her to call me 'papa'. I envisioned taking her on adventurous trips to explore different countries, immersing her in new cultures and experiencing the wonders of the world. I would climb ancient mountains with her, hike through lush rainforests, and marvel at breathtaking landscapes. Lily loved arts, she
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Baby Chapter 46
TYLERThink of her… think of her not… think of her… think of her not…Like picking off the petals of a rose, I deliberated thinking about Thea. I remembered how I sat next to her watching her fears, which centered around losing Lily. I also feared the thought of Lily getting hurt and I promise to protect her with all I have. With this in mind, one realization dawned upon me. There was another side to Thea, one that I had failed to see before. She wasn’t all stubborn and hot-headed as the world sees her to be; there was a kind of complexity hidden beneath her fiery exterior, but in her, she was vulnerable in a very cute way.Her words echoed in my mind, her fears and her thoughts. I got to know them all. She had confided in me about her deepest fear and what had happened before I got to know I was Lily’s father. And then the most paramount fear was - the fear of her daughter getting hurt. As she relayed that, I saw a vivid side of her that I had never seen before, a vulnerability that

TYLERI've not been in California in about six years now, upon arriving there, I felt a wave of unfamiliarity wash over me. It's been damn long, I've been here with my ex then, and now, I totally detached myself from her. Not because she wronged me, but because I just stopped caring about her. I remember how we were so close and then she came here, I remembered the whole city. The bustling streets and towering buildings that were a stark contrast to the quiet suburban neighborhood I called home, although, there are some parts of Manhattan that were as busy as this place. Now, my main worry was that; I had no idea where to start from in this clusters of people and houses.I already pulled a call to one of my man who went further into digging in the phone number and he was able to detect the call came from a public booth. I visited the public phone booth that had been calling her. It stood there, inconspicuous among the hustle and bustle of the city. I couldn't help but wonder who had b

THEAHe wants a second chance, yet he runs off right in the middle of a date with no explanation? Confusion was an understatement and I was extremely angry; angry at how he ruined the night I didn't want to admit I was enjoying so much. As much as I was angry, I couldn't help but be worried too; I was really worried. I had no idea where he ran off to and there was no logical explanation but I could tell from his lack of composure that something was seriously wrong.I sat for a while, staring at the large trays of food in front of me and fumbling with my fork. Tyler's dramatic exit had somehow drained me of my full appetite and all I did now was try to pinpoint where he might have run off to, buti just couldn't think of anything that would make him run off like that.A notification sound drew my attention back to my surroundings and then it didn't stop, chime after chime each second until I picked up my phone and the reason why Tyler had run off lay in front of me on the screen. "What
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Baby Chapter 49
THEA"Hi Thea." After about two minutes of staring, Tyler got himself together and finally uttered words. "What are you doing here?"My brows creased into a frown, what did he mean by that? I felt offended, first he runs off and now this? The displeasure must have shown on my face, hiding my feelings wasn't really a me thing."I'm so sorry Thea, I didn't mean it that way. I also didn't mean to leave you in the restaurant by yourself, I just didn't want you getting dragees into all these mess but oh well I guess the media did their thing. I'm-" I placed a finger on his lips shutting him up. "It's fine Tyler."It was evident from his composure that he wasn't himself, he was confused and tired. All he did was nod continuously before turning to face his building, watching it as it burnt down to ashes. Whatever or whoever set up this fire had to be an expert, somehow the fire didn't go out, at least not completely despite the efforts of the firefighters.I noticed Tyler grip his trousers b

THEAI excused myself and went outside. I didn't want to imagine that Tyler left without telling me. He was all smiles when we were planning the surprise birthday party, he couldn't leave without a word. As I stepped outside, lashed by the cold fingers of the wind, I was taken aback by the sight of someone sitting on the staircase. For a moment I stood still, then remembered that the person's clothes looked familiar. It didn't take long for me to figure out it was Tyler and when I cleared my throat, he turned back, his eyes fixed on me with a mix of awe and longing. My heart skipped a beat as I made my way towards him, my senses heightened by the tension between us."Hey," I said softly, sitting down next to him on the step. "What's going on? I thought you left."He chuckled and turned to the moon, his eyes still filled with wonder. "that," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper as he pointed to the cloudless sky. He continued to stare at the moon for what seemed like minutes un
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Baby Chapter 85
THEAI saw him first before Lily and I immediately went to stand in the doorway. Lily was by my side, holding a welcome home banner she designed herself and I was holding one too. I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.Excitement to see Tyler again after a whole lot of time and then the thought about how he would react to the party. As I thought of that, a hint of sadness washed over me and I immediately deleted it from my mind. Although our time together had been cut short by his accident then I was glad he was fine.He would be receiving the rest of his treatments and recovering at home. The doctors said he was healing well, but I knew I would still see the faint scar on his chest, which would be a reminder of the traumatic event that had brought us together - Lily's kidnapping. I took a deep breath and stepped forward when I saw him enter the house, holding out the banner. "Welcome home, Tyler!" I exclaimed, trying to sound cheerful but deep down I was bursting with excitement

THEA"Why do you care about Tyler after all he's put this family through?" This question rang in my head. How would I explain it? Yes, Tyler had helped us, but it wasn't enough for the amount of care I felt entitled to show him.I looked up and met father's gaze, he stared at me expectant of a reply. "When you left, I and Cora moved to Manhattan." I watched his eyelids flutter at the mention of Cora, no doubt he was starting to get emotional."Things were pretty rough, I struggled to build an enterprise from the start before deciding to come back here in quest of revenge against Tyler, but as life would have it; things changed. A lot of things changed.""What changed?""I found out Tyler had a pretty good reason for leaving us, I couldn't really blame him. All he did was try to save us, everybody including you. Also..." I trailed off, unsure of how to break the news of Lily to him."Go on, I won't judge you." I didn't really care about his judgement, I just wasn't sure it was right to

THEAMy eyes were closed and I felt like I was in a different world as the remaining drops of tears escaped from my eyes. I wasn't sure how long my head was bent or if I had drifted off into thought, but the next thing I felt was a tap on the shoulder softly.I paused for a minute to wipe off the corners of my eyes before almost jumping off my chair eager to hear anything from the nurse, maybe then I would calm down. "How is..?" I rose my face from the edge of the chair, but couldn't complete my statement as I stared at the face which stared right back at me. Was this real?The walls of the reception began to revolve around me and for a second my head went blank. Was I dreaming? Someone wake me up, I found it hard to believe. Hard to believe that after so many years of neglect, my father would show up to the hospital in search of me because this was definitely not a coincidence.It wasn't a coincidence that he chose to walk into this particular hospital, pass through the outer lobby a

THEAThe slap that led to all of these replayed in my head. Maybe I did blame myself earlier for Lily's abduction, afterall it was me Sarah was mad at. But now that I think about it, if she had just been sensible and didn't raise her hand to hit me, maybe we wouldn't be here right now.If anything, I hated Sarah more than ever now for whatsoever she put Lily through. Lily looked like a shadow of herself and it scared me so much. Judging from the little I had seen of Sarah, I could imagine she starved my baby of food and most likely put her through pain. She looked frail and she didn't deserve to go through all of these at such a young age.I didn't know when the tears began to fall from my face neither did I try to stop them, I let them flow freely while hugging Lily tightly. "I missed you so much and I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry I let you out of my sight," I whispered into her ears."I'm sorry Lily," Tyler apologized. I resented him a lot because I trusted him to keep watch over Lily as

TYLERI gripped Thea's hand as we sat in the car ready to go to the location. Inputting the coordinates into the GPS, I stared at her and nodded my head "let's do this.""Hell yeah, let's get our daughter back."Inwardly, I knew I was scared, but I couldn't show it. The maniac like laughter of the kidnapper over the phone scared me, what if she was mentally unstable? What if she doesn't release Lily after everything? There were so many what ifs in my head, it was hard to concentrate."Are you okay?" Thea asked as I drove."Sure I'm fine, I just want to get Lily back," I lied."Take a left turn ahead."As directed by the GPS, I turned into the pathway which looked like it led into the woods. Thea's breath hitched audibly as we kept on going and lost track of humans and normal surroundings."You'll arrive at your destination in a minute," the GPS informed.There was a cabin out front and I wondered if that was it.My phone screen lit up with a text message from the kidnapper, we were be
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Baby Chapter 80
THEAI heard the woman's sinister laughter as she said, "Anything? Are you willing to sacrifice your own life for your daughter? You would do that?"As I saw the tears welled up in Tyler's eyes, I saw he choked back his emotions, probably because he did not want me to break down into tears. He couldn't lose Lily as much as I couldn't, I saw in his eyes that he loved that girl more than gold and silver and when he said, "Yes! I'll give anything if it means Lily's safety. Just tell me what I need to do and where you want to get it from." I knew this was true love from a father to his daughter.I was shocked that Tyler was ready to give everything for the sake of Lily and I knew how much he had suffered to take his company to great heights. I had always known that he was a driven and ambitious person, but I had never realized just how much he had sacrificed for the sake of his business. He had sacrificed a lot, he built up my father's crumbling company. As I thought about it, I could ima

THEA"I just want my daughter..." I said that in my mind after calming my nerves. I sat on the warm sofa, but to me, with my heavy heart, it felt like I was on a cold, vinyl chair in the hospital or the police station, my heart was heavy with worry and my mind racing with thoughts of my missing daughter, Lily. And Tyler, sat across from me, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and determination, the policeman was still around and he worked a great deal before I calmed down.From where I sat, I knew Tyler wanted to reach out to me, he did reach out, apologising but I pulled away from him, my anger and resentment still raw. "What good are your apologies now, Tyler? Where is Lily? I trusted you with her."Tyler didn't look at me, he faced the policeman directly. His jaw clenched in determination. "We need to find her. I can't just sit here and do nothing, waiting for your men to find herThe man nodded, his heart heavy with grief. "Yes, we need to find her. And trust me with this, I
The Billionaire’s Unplanned Baby Chapter 78
THEAIt'd been three days without my baby. Although she wasn't so much of a baby anymore, her absence hit me hard. It gave me time to reflect on many things but I was so used to her presence, it left me longing to see her. Tyler couldn't even call me in the midst of his enjoyment with my daughter. She's his daughter too but she was mine for now, I did raise her on my own. The way things had taken a turn still surprised me. I wasn't so sure if my decisions, but they seemed the best fit for the situations at hand.I bought a new bow and a new game pad on my way to his house. It was going to be a surprise visit, I wanted to catch them in the act. I wondered which games they could have been playing. Sometimes, seeing them together brought tears to my eyes. I had a lot of regrets, but I couldn't count giving birth to my daughter as one. She'd been my greatest blessing. My own father abandoned me, and I know it was unfair to keep the secret of her father away from her. They bonded anyways,
