All Chapters of All for the billionaire : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It's been two weeks since our wedding. Gregory and I are strangers still. He is rarely home. He leaves for work early in the morning and returns home really late at night. I only see him when I get my midnight snack and that isn't every day. Last night when I saw him, I told him of my appointment with the doctor for my antenatal care.The strangest thing happened, he offered to take me there. For someone who doesn't like my presence in his home this is really weird. I guess he is doing it because he wants to find out how the baby is doing first hand.I am wearing a plain purple shirt and a loose white short. My bump is now obvious so I try as much as I can to wear loose fitting clothing. Basically anything that makes me comfortable. I carry my black backpack and pair it with a black sandals. My line of work most times gives me the freedom to dress as I please. I also intend to go straight to work after this. My life has gone back to the way it was after the wedding. The only differenc

The aroma of the food diffuses my anger. Even if I wanted to stay angry I can't, it just is not in my person plus I am really hungry. Even if Gregory didn't come I would have still sneaked out for some food. I noticed that my initial distaste for food is over and most of the time I just want to eat. As I eat my mind keeps pondering over the words of Ellie, "I still have him where I want him". Does that mean they are still together after our marriage? "But the contract stated that I am not to have any other affair. Does it mean that it applies to only me?.I shake my head to dissipate the thoughts from my head. Another thought finds its way to my mind. "Patrick". just then my phone makes a ding sound, indicating the arrival of a message. "Who could it be by this time?, it's pretty late". I stretch my hand and grab my phone. It's Rosie. She's still worried. A slight smile is etched on my face. I love how she loves me. "Denise sweetheart, please reply to my messages. Are you okay?". her

"Hello Denise". Rosie calls out from the other end of the line, "Yeah Rosie what's up". I respond to her" So you remember that post we made when we needed money for your mum's surgery?," "Yeah…" we had another offer from a lady, she wants you to cover her sixtieth birthday celebration. It's this Sunday. I forgot to tell you , I just received a reminder from her today. I don't know if you can still do it considering your condition." There's a pause and I take that as my cue to speak."Of course I'll do it," I say in an excited tone. Oh my God Ro, you don't know what you've done for me, I really need the money". She laughs at me, how can you need money, you are married to a freaking Billionaire, do you even know what that means?. Not a millionaire but a freaking billionaire. You should be swimming in money my love. I laughed at her statement. "It's not as it seems Rosie, I might be married to him but I don't own his money"."Bullshit Denise!" She blurts. This makes me laugh hysterica

The party I was to cover was outside town, I have never been grateful for this bodyguard situation up till now. Having Oliver here is good, though I had to explain my situation with the host, she was quite okay with it and didn't seem to mind his presence, in fact they treated us like friends even though I was there to just take pictures. Her family was a delight. It wasn't really a big party, something for loved ones and friends. The kids ran around the place, their laughter and the music mingling to bring that bloom in your heart. To be honest this job doesn't feel like a job. It feels like I was invited to a party but I decided to take pictures. There are so many fun activities to engage in, right now the celebrant Mrs Richardson and few others are playing cards, even Oliver is involved. I don't know how Mrs Richardson persuaded him but whatever she did, it worked. There are chatters around the table, Mrs Richardson says something which makes them roar in laughter, a perfect oppo

Gregory doesn't let go of me, my tears continue to stain his suit. But I do not stop, nor do I open my eyes. My mind is a blizzard, I didn't even realize when we had gotten home. He doesn't let me go, he carries me all the way to my room and lays me on the bed. The bed dips in response, still I refuse to let him go. "Let me get you some water," he tells me. I open my eyes and stare into his grey ones pleading for him to stay. "I'll be back, let me get you water, you need it" he assured me, I am reluctant but I let go of him. As he leaves I sit up wrapping my hands around my legs and putting my face in-between my knees, swaying back and forth with my eyes shut. I can't seem to stay still, this is my body's mechanism of keeping me calm or else I might scream and lose it. I stay like this for some minutes till a hand rests on my shoulders making me jump."It's me, you're safe, you're home". His voice breaks through my panic as he wraps his body around mine. My breathing is heavy but h
