Chapter 59 - Deanna
Last Updated:
2021-11-02 23:33:27I march right beside Connor as we exit the elevator and head towards the lobby.
Before we can even get around the corner, a loud bang echoes through the corridor. Connor and I look at each other for a brief second before our entire group bolt off towards the commotion. As soon as we round the corner, we can see a small group has gathered around an older couple and a woman about my age in front of the reception desk.
Magazines are thrown across the lobby floor along with several pens and a small trash can.
What in the world is going on? Why is Jennifer here? I haven’t seen her since that dreaded bachelorette party in Vegas.
When Jennifer sees us coming, her eyes land on Connor. A smile instantly erupts on her face as she steps around the older couple and rushes towards us.
I furrow my brows.
I had initially thought she is here to see me for some crazy reason. Howeve

As soon as the conference room door closes, Jennifer’s father turns towards Ryan and demands, “Explain to me why you and Connor are in the picture, too. Were the two of you at the bachelorette party?” I open my mouth, but before I can say anything, Connor snakes his arm around my waist again and whispers into my ear, “Let Ryan handle this for now.” A part of me wants to defend myself and let them know what I think of them. However, another part of me enjoys the fact that someone else besides Dotty and her parents will stand up and protect me. I sigh and lean into his firm body. His warmth wraps around me like a blanket as I nod. At some point though, I want to make a few things clear to them, too. While still flashing his triumphant smile, Ryan points to Connor and then to himself. “We were both there. The funny thing about that night, the supposed friends who were throwing the party for Deanna, disappea

As we walk up to the restaurant for our meeting with Brett, my mind runs through all the possibilities of why he needs to see me. However, with each new idea, my stomach sinks more. All different options boil down to one thing. He needs money.I take a deep breath as I glance down at my watch. We are early. Maybe I’ll have some time to calm down before he arrives.Deanna’s soft voice from beside me pulls me from my thoughts. “Connor, what is wrong? You seem a little tense.”I snake my arm around her slender waist and kiss the top of her head. “It is nothing. I’m trying to figure out what Brett could possibly want.”Before I can say anything, Dotty blurts out from behind us, “Money. He wants money. If what Deanna was saying earlier is true, I’m sure his company is in trouble, and he needs his baby brother to help him out.

Connor snakes his arm around me and pulls me tight against his firm chest. His warmth wraps around me like a comforting blanket while I lay my head against his shoulder.I wish I could stay like this forever.He kisses the top of my head and mumbles, “Love, what are you thinking?”I shake my head and snuggle deeper into his warmth. “Just that I don’t want to leave your comforting touch.”A soft chuckle spills from him before he kisses my head again. “Love, I’m more than willing to hug you whenever you want. Plus, we fall asleep in each other’s arms every night.”As soon as the word night leaves his mouth, heat rushes across my face as images of our sultry nights of passion flash through my mind. My core aches wanting my husband’s warmth not just around me, but also buried deep inside me.Images of our sweaty bodies grinding against each other whil

Did I say or do something wrong?Deanna has been a little distant since our little quicky on the plane.I glance across the living room at her and Dotty. However, her usual playful looks and suggestive smirks are nowhere to be found. Instead, I can only find a blank, almost cold, look.What has happened since the plane landed?I slowly scour through every little tiny thing and detail that we have done since we have gotten back. However, the last thing I said to her was while we were naked and still wrapped in each other’s arms. Without thinking, I made a comment about hoping to get her pregnant again.Shoot. I hope my sperm has already gotten her pregnant. But looking back on it, I can see how that may have upset her. She is still dealing with the loss of our twins. How could I be so callous to wish have a baby soon? I take a deep breath while I

I stand out on the balcony outside our bedroom and stare up at the clear night sky. A few stars sparkle as if they are shining just for me.Connor’s earlier words are constantly replaying in my head. The first to replay are his words on the plane about hoping I’m pregnant already. Then the next of words are his harsh rebuttal to his father and his statement about never giving me up.Each set of sentences tugs at my heart, but in different directions. However, I’m not sure which ones I should follow. A little nagging voice in the back of my head keeps whispering that he didn’t give up last time when you ran, and he won’t give up again if I try hiding again.I take a deep breath and rest my hands on the cold railing.What should I do?I scan the dark sky and the twinkling stars as if I’m hoping the answer to my question is hiding somewhere within the tiny

My eyes widen as I stare at the phone. When did we authorize the press release?I slowly shake my head and pull my phone out of my pocket. However, before I call anyone, Dotty skips into my office with a huge smile on her face.My eyebrow raises slowly as I stare at her. When she finally stops next to me, she glances down at Nathan’s phone and chimes, “Oh, so you have seen it. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be posted online today or tomorrow. I had told them to wait another day, but clearly they didn’t listen to me.”Well, that answers our question. However, I don’t remember approving this before she sent it out.I twirl my phone around in my fingers and stare at her.I take a deep breath as she flashes me her brilliant smile, which I return with a stern look, which is almost bordering on a scowl. “When did we approve this press release to

I sigh as I read another email from Ryan about things happening at WW Enterprises today. I have never realized until just recently how much is going on every day.I would usually work non-stop, and it was all part of a normal day. But now, I don’t want to work from the crack of dawn until 10pm every night. I would rather spend the evening with my gorgeous wife and enjoy our time together.Her shocking truth from last night has stuck in my mind today. I will not let it get us down, though.I glance across the room at her as her office phone rings again. I don’t think it has stopped ringing since this morning.Her attention is on her computer screen while she tucks the phone’s receiver up against her head with her shoulder. Her fingers type non-stop on the keyboard.A smile breaks slowly spreads across my face and a sense of pride washes over me as I watch her.

I watch from across my office as Connor picks up his phone and looks at it. He hesitates for a moment before he answers it.My eyebrows instantly knot together. Am I right? Is it his brother wanting the money?I keep my attention on my husband as he calmly says, “Hello. Is there something wrong?”I breathe a small sigh of relief. I don’t think it is his brother. I’m sure his voice would have had some bite to it if Brett was calling.I continue to watch my husband as I slowly lift the cup of tea in front of me. With my eyes still locked on the handsome man, I blow on the cup as steam rolls into the air in front of me.“I see. Is there anything else you have been able to find out?”I take a drink as my mind tries to figure out who he is talking to. I don’t know everyone at his company, but I think I have a good idea who

Dotty and her mom walk into my bedroom as I stand in front of the mirror, making sure I look perfect. My off-white silk wedding dress shimmers in the afternoon light as I shift from side to side, looking at it from every angle. A smile dances around on my face while my eyes sparkle. My attention soon drifts down to my stomach, and my smile widens. The silky material falls loosely across my large baby bump. I gently caress my stomach and whisper, “This is it, babies. I’m finally getting the wedding I’ve always wanted.” Dotty smiles and wraps her arm around my shoulders as she looks down at my stomach. “Kiddos, your mommy is finally getting everything she deserves. Not only is your daddy giving her the gorgeous wedding she deserves, but he has agreed to stay here with us.” Her mother lightly slaps her shoulder. “Stop hugging her. You are going to wrinkle her wedding dress.” She then looks at me throu

My palms glisten and my stomach twists as the nurse leads us back to the exam room. With each step, my mind goes wild with the various reasons for why I’m tired lately. However, none of them really makes any sense. I quickly wipe my hands against my pants as I take a deep breath. Connor wraps his arm around my waist and kisses the side of my head. “Don’t worry too much, love. We are here to take some simple tests and then we will hopefully have some answers soon. Okay.” I glance at him out of the corner of my eye as I tentatively nod my head. He kisses the side of my head again and whispers, “I’m going to be right here next to you. Don’t worry. I’m sure it isn’t anything serious.” I take another deep breath. I wish I could be that confident, but my history reminds of what could go wrong. The nurse stops in front of an open door. “You will be in here. Please have a

My gut tells me something is wrong with Deanna. I don’t know what, but I’m not taking any chances.I work like a madman trying to get everything done in a short period of time, so we can go back to the Midwest.I completely ignore my father and mother. I did the only thing I could, and that is I got him his lawyer. However, his lawyer wouldn’t even take the case until I gave him a hefty retainer. I didn’t want to ask how much my father owed him, but I figure I gave him enough money to cover everything.Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped my mother from trying to bug me, but I let my security handle it, both at the office and at my apartment. In addition, I have removed her name from the approved list of people who can visit me.I have also let Dotty and her parents know what is going on. So, if I need to have backup, I have it when we get back there. With Deanna’s

Dotty’s voice booms from my phone. “If you don’t come back here right now, I’m going there. How can you let yourself get so run down that you nearly faint at work? Is Connor not taking good enough care of you?”I shake my head and stare out the bedroom window. “It isn’t like that, and you know it. Connor has been taking good care of me. We have been under a lot of stress lately. You know that full well. I’m sure it has finally caught up to me. There is nothing to worry about, though.”I glance around the room. “Connor has me resting in bed right now. He said he wasn’t going to take no, so I gave in. Everything will be fine. Now, stop worrying.”She sighs. “I’m just concerned, especially after what you went through before. I don’t want a repeat of it.”I slide under t

Connor and I walk into his office building. What little smile we can muster is barely visible as we walk through the lobby. The bags under our eyes show everyone exactly what we have been going through. Even though we should be going back to the Midwest and to my job there, we are still in the city and dealing with his issues here. A slight yawn escapes my mouth as I try to acknowledge the receptionist as we walk by. She smiles back at us, but it doesn’t reach her eyes as her eyebrows knot together. I need a hot cup of herbal tea. I’ll be good then. Connor places his hand on my back and whispers, “Do you need to take a nap? You can sleep in my office if you can’t stay awake.” I sigh and shake my head. “No. I have too much to do. If for some reason I get too tired, I’ll just lay down on your couch and take a small cat nap.” “Uhm. Okay. I’m assuming you nee

Why did I let my mother talk me into this? I keep telling Deanna to not let her parents affect her, and here I am letting my mother talk me into leaving with her for a private talk. However, this isn’t really a private talk at all.I glance around the table and politely smile at Mr. Gold while I ignore my father. I then turn my attention back to my mother. “What is this all about? I have work to do, and I need to get back to the office.”She flashes me a sweet smile and reaches across the table to pat my hands. However, I yank my hands away before she can touch me.Her smile falters a bit as she stares at me. “Son, we need to have a very important conversation with you. This is the best way to do it without having any interruptions.”Interruptions. She is worried about interruptions.Anger rushes through my veins. I grit my teeth and growl, &

I stare down at my herbal tea as I sigh. What am I going to do now? Dotty’s voice booms from my phone, and I instantly pull it away from my ear. “Stop doing that! You have talked about this before. Shoot, even you and I have talked about this. Neither of your parents deserves to be called your parents. Your parents have abandoned you and even when given the chance, they still ignore you like the plague. While Connor’s parents seem to only want to use him for whatever stupid scheme, his father is cooking up. So, stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.” I slowly put the phone back to my ears as I nod. “I know we have talked about it, but it isn’t quite the same thing as when you see it with your own eyes. I don’t want to be the reason Connor has a strained relationship with his mother.” “Ugh… Girl, you are really trying my patience here. Stop treating them special because s

The look of defeat on Brett’s face still floats around in my mind. I have never seen him look like that, even when he was dealing with his family. However, this particular blow seems to have been a little too close to home. I sigh and stare out the window and across the city’s horizon. For once, I’m alone in Connor’s office while he has another meeting with a few department heads on another project. However, I’m not in the mood to sit there while everyone looks at me with either envy or disgust. As my focus drifts to the sky and some wispy few clouds floating along, my thoughts go back to Connor’s father and the board’s decision. Will his luck finally run out? However, I think the bigger question is will the board actually follow through with their threat this time. Connor has given me a complete history of his father and the things he has done. In addition, he has explained how he became the CEO at
The Wrong Billionaire, or Not Chapter 81 - Connor
My stomach sinks as my assistant explains what the board has decided to do.A part of me knows this is the right thing, but another part of me still wants to protect my father. However, I don’t think he deserves any protection right now, especially after some things he has done lately.I can also breathe a sigh of relief since the board isn’t holding me accountable for anything my father does. Most of them remember what he did in the past. Plus, his recent slips of judgement have sealed his own fate.As my smile fades and turns into a deep frown, I turn so Deanna can’t see my expression. However, I know it is already too late.I run my hand through my hair as everything slowly sinks into my brain.Deanna’s concerned voice keeps me from turning my back around completely to her. “Connor, did something bad happen? Is the board going to go after your father
