"Take this to the final editing team," Zeth handed Adriel a folder containing the copies of the new spring collection of the company's brand. "Yes, sir," Adriel said as she took the folder from Zeth's hand. "Make sure that only the final editing team gets a copy of this, alright? Don't go wandering around with these files at hand," he reminded. "Got it, sir," Adriel nodded her head and went out of the office. After Cedric and Zeth's conversation that day, Zeth gave Adriel only an adequate amount of work compared to the heaps of work that he used to give her. However, although her work situation has gotten better, it seems like their relationship is just getting worse. If back then, they could talk about casual topics during their breaks. These days, they can't even look at each other in the eyes for more than ten seconds. It breaks Adriel's heart every time Zeth avoids her eyes, and it makes her wonder if their relationship really doesn't have a chance anymore. She shook he
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 41: She's had Enough
"What's going on?" Cedric asked as soon as he got to the highest floor. The entire building is in chaos after finding out that K brand had posted their new spring collection—the spring collection that looked like what they are trying to put out just next week. Adriel, who is currently feeling under the weather, shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Jo and Sir Zeth are talking inside his office. It seems to be a very urgent matter." Cedric stopped in his tracks when he saw Adriel's pale skin and lips. "Are you alright?" he gently asked. Adriel weakly nodded her head. "I've just caught a cold, but I'm alright. It's something that I can handle." "Have you drank your medicine?" "Yeah," she nodded. "Don't worry about me, Cedric. I think what Jo and Zeth are talking about is a much more serious matter than my cold." "Wait. Let me go inside," Cedric said and invited himself in. Adriel, too, trailed behind him to see what was going on. "What's wrong?" Cedric asked as soon as he saw Z
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 42: Daddy?
Zeth felt another sharp pain in his jaw, causing him to snap out of his thoughts. He covered his lip with the back of his hand when he felt blood dripping on the side of it. "What the fuck was that for?" he exclaimed when he realized that Cedric had punched him. "For being a fucking asshole," Cedric spat. "Shit, man. What has gotten into you?" he asked as he wiped the blood on his hand on his trousers. "What has gotten into me? What has gotten into YOU?! Ever since you talked to your parents, you've been nothing but an asshole. And you made Adriel the center of your rudeness even when she didn't do anything wrong!" "I'm like this because of her, okay? My life was going well. I had already forgotten about her! But then, she comes back to oscillate my fucking life. And she still has a hold on me as she did more than four years ago!" "That isn't an excuse, Zeth," Cedric said. "You're acting like Adriel's the one at fault for every little inconvenience in your life." Zeth clos
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 43: Make It Up To You
Zeth couldn't say anything. He was speechless. The kid that looked exactly like him just called him daddy, and he didn't know what to feel about it. One thing is certain, though—he doesn't hate the feeling. Just then, the two of them heard a thud coming from the bathroom, causing Zenon to snap out of his daze and hold onto Zeth's hand. "Mister, can you please help my mommy?" he sobbed. "My mommy is feeling sick." Zeth thought for a second that he knocked on the wrong unit, but for some reason, there was already a suspicion in his heart that he had entered the right one. And if his suspicions are right, his heart felt more at pain for all the unfair things that he did to Adriel. "Bring me to her," he said. Zenon didn't hesitate to pull Zeth to the bathroom. "My mommy was shaking, mister. And she went to the bathroom to take a shower," Zenon said, still sniffling. When they made it in front of the bathroom, Zeth kneeled down to Zenon's level and caressed his hair. Shit. Looking a

After Zeth made sure that Adriel was fast asleep, he gently got up from her bed and walked to the living room to meet the little boy that his heart had been missing ever since. Zenon turned around with wide eyes when he heard someone's footsteps approaching. He looked at Zeth in wonder as he sat down right next to him. The two of them stared at each other, looking as if their past and future selves were meeting for the very first time. There was one thing that's obvious when looking at the two of them—they were definitely related. "Zenon, right?" Zeth asked after a moment of silence. Zenon slowly nodded his head. "Yes, I'm Zenon. Is my mommy alright, mister?""Yeah," Zeth said as he ruffled his hair. "Your mommy's already sleeping in her bed. She's okay now."Zenon let out a sigh of relief. His mommy was everything to him, and hearing that she was going to be alright plucked a thorn out of his heart. "Then, are you staying here, mister?" he asked. Zeth scooted closer to him. "You

"Then, can I also be a part of his life? I want to give him the happiness that he deserves." Adriel looked down on her lap. "Okay," she said in a soft voice. "Hmm?" Zeth asked, wanting to confirm if what he just heard was real. "Yes?" "Yes," Adriel said in a firm voice. "You can be a part of Zenon's life. I won't take that away from you." Adriel knew that agreeing to Zeth's proposition would be the best for Zenon. She knew of the desires deep within Zenon's heart, and she also knew that some of those desires would only be fulfilled by Zeth. Her eyes widened in surprise when she suddenly felt a warm pair of arms wrap around her shoulders. "Thank you, Adriel. Thank you. Thank you," he rambled. "You don't know how much this means to me." Adriel smiled and hesitantly patted the man's back. "It's alright. It's what Zenon deserves. It's what the two of you deserve," she said. Zeth snuggled deeper into her neck. "I'll make it up to you, I promise. I'll make sure to take care of the
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 46: An Opportunity
Adriel took the phone away from Daphne's hands to take a closer look at her screen. Indeed, it was a video of her walking down the runway during the showcase. It was accompanied by the caption—"Who is she?" She scrolled down to see the comments and was shocked that almost all of the responses were positive. "Does someone already know her name?" "Who's this fine woman?" "I think I just fell in love..." "Someone seriously needs to find her name." Adriel dropped Daphne's phone on the bed. "Why—Why am I here?" she absent-mindedly asked. Daphne took the phone once again and looked at the post with bright eyes. "Girl, you're fucking famous!" Adriel looked at her with wide eyes. "Famous? They don't even know my name!" "Then, do you want me to comment your name under this thread? We can even post a picture together," she excitedly said. Adriel snatched Daphne's phone away from her hands and placed it out of her reach. "You are not going to do that!" "Give me my phone back. This
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 47: Resignation
Zeth walked into the office with a huge smile on his face. It was a rare sight for most of his workers, but none of them dared question their boss for fear of getting scolded. "You look awfully happy for someone who had just gone through a company crisis," Jo said when she saw the smile on Zeth's face. Oh, right. The stealing issue of K brand is yet to be resolved. He almost forgot about it since he was so happy hanging out with his son during the weekend. Zeth removed the smile on his face and went over his agenda for today. "Has the source been found?" he asked. Jo nodded his head. "Yes. We've traced the email account that messaged you the photos of Adriel and Kayden having lunch together, and it turned out that their IP address is in this very building." Zeth frowned. "And? Has the culprit been caught?" "Yes. It didn't take much time before the investigators found the owner of the computer. It seems as if they hadn't done this before. Her name is Ophelia Golding, and she's
