All Chapters of One More Baby, Mr. CEO: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ZORA'S POVThe doctor looked at the clipboard on which he had recorded Freya's vitals. He was a youngish-looking man with a prematurely lined face which I supposed was caused by many sleepless nights and late-night calls. He looked up, smiled at me, and beamed at Freya. "You worry too much about your little girl, Ms. Walter," he said. "I can assure you that she is in the best hands and that we will do everything possible to make sure that she fully recovers." He glanced again at Freya who was sucking on a lollipop he had offered her after examining her. She did not seem to pay attention to what the doctor was saying. She kept looking around his office at the gaily colored charts. She mouthed the words on the charts, her legs swinging back and forth on the high-backed chair. I sighed. "I would like to believe that, doctor. I really will.""Please, do. Her vitals look okay. I will look more closely into her case file. Bring her back here in...three days. I will have more definite ne

ZORA'S POV For what felt like the tenth time, I adjusted Finn's collar which was askew. He looked up at me, his big blue eyes wide with worry. "Can't I stay back, today, Mama?" he asked and pouted. "I'm smart, you say that all the time. I can stay at home and you can teach me what I'll learn at school. It will be the same thing." I hid a grin and sighed. My kids were a joy to me but they could be quite a handful sometimes. "But I have to work, sweetheart. I can't be your teacher too. You have to go to school, learn and mix up with other kids." Finn began to protest. "But Mama-" "Shhh." I squatted and placed a finger on his lips. "You will do fine at school, Finn. It's not your first school, you know. I know that New York is a big city, but the kids here are the same as the other kids at your former school. They don't bite." Freya giggled and Finn smiled a little. "Mum, can we go now? I want to meet all my new friends." Freya said, shifting from one foot to the other like she

ZORA'S POVI got into the car and slammed the door, purposely not leaving it open for Trey who was right beside me. It was a signal for him to drop the issue he had raised. He got to my side of the car and noticed that I made a move to scoot over. He went to the other side of the car and got in, slamming the door a little too hard and making the driver jump a little. I peered into the depths of the shopping bag which contained things I had been gifted for doing a commercial. "Zora-" Trent began.Exasperated, I let the bag fall to the floor of the car. "Drop it, will you?" I snapped. He sighed. "How can I in good conscience drop the issue? I would not be doing my job properly if I did that. Seriously though, how can you make such a decision without consulting me first? The deal with Sleek and Chic is like- is like..." He paused for a moment to find the right words. "It's like the biggest thing to happen to someone in your line of work.""I told you to drop it."Trey went on as tho

ZORA'S POVI was dressing up the kids. Dressing up in my household involved laying out different articles of clothing, assisting the kids to dress, and then spending the rest of the time trying to keep their clothes properly on. They both could decide to use the restroom multiple times and in the process wrongly button up their shirts, leave their zippers half closed and in the case of Freya, muss the hair I had so painstakingly combed and styled. I was currently at the first stage now, that of laying out the clothes they were to wear. It was another weekend. Finn and Freya were the ones who had woken me up this morning, all giddy with excitement. Not content with shaking me awake, Finn had climbed on a stool and thrown the curtains open, letting in the bright, morning sunlight. During the week, Finn had made me promise to take him and his twin out. I had had a hectic week, hectic in more ways than one, what with meeting up with my modeling appointments and the whole contract canc

ZORA'S POVI walked into my office with Cheryl close behind me. I settled down before turning to her. "So, what am I to do today?" I inquired. After a glance at her iPad, she said, "There isn't very much to do today. All you have on your schedule is two commercials. That's all.""That's all?" I echoed, both relieved and surprised. Cheryl nodded. Since I had moved here, today was the least tasking day I had had. Coming to work these days almost literally meant working non-stop with little breaks in between. Having just two commercials meant I could go home on time, spend time with my kids, and also rest a little, considering the fact that my Saturday was stressful in more ways than one. "When exactly am I due for the commercials?" I asked Cheryl. "You have one by noon and the other...they requested that you tell them when it would be convenient for you."I thought for a moment. "Tell them I will be free by... 1 pm I should be done with the first commercial before that time."Havi
