An Heir for the CEO Chapter 9
Emeraude and Cassian remained silent, unsure of what to say to her father. It was exactly what Emeraude wanted to avoid, and that's why she didn't want Cassian to accompany her."Dad," she finally spoke, and he looked at her, expecting a response. "Happy birthday!" Emeraude threw herself into his arms, and he hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much.""Missed you too, my daughter," he replied affectionately. "Let's go inside, Cassian. After all, we have a lot to talk about.""Of course, Sir," Cassian said. Her father kissed her on the forehead and went ahead. Once he entered the house, Emeraude turned to Cassian, anger evident on her face."You idiot!" she whispered loudly, punching his chest. "You weren't supposed to open your mouth and talk nonsense! Do you realize how traditional my father is? You messed us up!""At some point, you would have to tell, Emeraude," Cassian replied, holding her wrists. "If you haven't noticed, we're having a child. That will be a real challenge to exp

Emeraude struggled to wake up the morning after her father's party. Cassian had stayed for a while but needed to leave; after all, they were planning to return home that day. She got up and chose a loose dress before heading to the bathroom to take a shower and do her morning routine. With her preparations finished, she left her things somewhat organized.Walking to the kitchen, she saw her mother washing the breakfast dishes. Emeraude picked up an apple from the counter and took a bite. "Good morning!" she greeted, leaning against the counter."Good morning, dear," her mother replied with a faint smile. "Do you really have to leave today?" she asked, pouting."Don't make that face, Mom," Emeraude chuckled softly. "I have to. I have some clients this week.""Your visit was so brief; we barely had a chance to do anything," her mother lamented. "We only went to the beach... By the way, there's something I'd like to talk to you about, dear, it's about your boyfriend."Emeraude looked at

Emeraude observed the elegant woman in front of her, who asked again, "Are you going to be a father?" A silence filled the room until Cassian, with a radiant smile, responded to the question with another question."I'm going to be the father of twins?" Emeraude nodded, and he approached her, embracing her warmly with a broad smile on his face. "Oh my goodness!" he exclaimed, and Emeraude widened her eyes, surprised by Cassian's reaction. She couldn't help but wonder if he was truly happy."Oh my God!" the short woman at the door said, moved. "My baby is going to be a father, Jesus, I'm going to be a grandmother!" She shared Cassian's broad smile.Emeraude, feeling a tension in the air, looked into Cassian's eyes and whispered, "I thought you would be angry." For a brief moment, she saw hints of irritation on his face."Love, how could I be angry knowing that the woman I love is going to give me two children?" Cassian responded loudly before kissing her, although the kiss didn't last l

Emeraude and Cassian lay on the bedroom carpet, covered by a sheet. Silence hung in the air for a while until he finally broke it."We need to talk," he said, while Emeraude's body was exhausted from what they had just done."About what?" she asked, looking at him."The twins," Cassian replied, sitting up and leaning against the bed."If you're going to blame me..." Emeraude began, but he interrupted."Do you want to hear me out first?" he asked, and she sighed deeply. Cassian always complicated things."Let's establish an agreement between us. I don't think it's fair for you to be alone with two children in this house, so I thought: one stays with me, and the other with you," he explained. Emeraude stared at him, confused."I don't think it's right to separate them, and I believe I can handle both without any issues," she said, not liking the idea."Think, Emeraude," he scoffed. "If it's challenging to take care of one, imagine two.""I don't want to separate them," she replied, roll

The day had been a challenge for Emeraude. She had been feeling unwell since the morning, unable to keep any food in her stomach. Her throat burned, and even water became difficult to swallow. Despite the discomfort, she finished her makeup, opting for something subtle. She dressed in an elegant black dress, not too clingy but still outlining her figure. Observant onlookers might notice the small silhouette on her belly.After putting on a pair of black heels from the shoe rack, Emeraude let her hair down, allowing the wavy ends to fall freely. Now ready, she grabbed her purse and headed to the living room."I'm ready," she announced as she approached the couch where Cassian was seated. He wore a black suit with a slightly open white shirt, no tie, and his hair sported a tousled style."Nice," commented Cassian, examining her. "It's simple.""Thank you," Emeraude said with a shy smile.Handing her a small box, Cassian took a ring from his pocket and put another on his own finger. "To

Emeraude diverted her gaze from the paper, contemplating the drawings that emerged beneath her strokes. She was determined to do more than just rest during her pregnancy. The idea of opening a clothing store took shape in her mind, nurturing her passion for fashion and design.Cassian St. Clair, though a visual spectacle, did not exhibit inner beauty. He was a man laden with unfavorable adjectives: arrogant, boring, irritating, egocentric, and bossy, among others. Emeraude, on the other hand, channeled her creative energy, sitting on the floor, sketching clothes flowing from her mind."Lying down all day is not cool," she thought to herself, realizing how inactivity made her feel heavier. The act of creating, sketching ideas, and conceiving styles seemed to bring her renewed joy.The vision of a future business began to take shape, and Emeraude decided to take action. She reached for her phone, hidden under the covers, and dialed a number. Anxiety grew as she waited for the response o

Emeraude woke up abruptly with abrupt shakes, deprived of any morning gentleness. She grumbled in displeasure, but the shakes didn't stop. Upon opening her eyes, she found Cassian, already dressed in an elegant suit, casting impatient glances at her."It's been almost two hours since I've been calling you," he shouted, adjusting his tie. "Aren't you coming with me today?" Still groggy, Emeraude sat up in bed."You leave so early," she commented, getting up all at once but feeling a momentary dizziness that made her retreat to the bed. Cassian raised an eyebrow at her expression."I'll get ready," announced Emeraude, now more composed. In her room, she headed to the bathroom, going through her morning hygiene routine and taking a quick shower, as Cassian was already ready, probably having breakfast. Emeraude, wrapped in a towel, chose a white dress that outlined her bust and had a flared skirt with an exposed back. She put on flat shoes, applied light makeup, and grabbed a brown bag, c

A few weeks had passed since Cassian St. Clair delved deeply into his projects, exhausted and longing for a well-deserved rest. The phone rang, announcing Chloe's voice on the other end."Mr. St. Clair, Mr. Thaddeus St. Clair is calling you in his office," Chloe informed."Let him know I'm on my way," replied Cassian, rising from his chair and ending the call. Thoughts of vacation echoed in his mind as he headed to the elevator, towards the top floor where his father's office was located.The elevator doors opened, and Cassian crossed the reception without identifying himself to his father's secretary. Two knocks on the door, and he entered the spacious office."Take a seat," Thaddeus said without looking at Cassian, who settled into the chair. "What did you want to talk about? Can I leave after we're done here?""It's only 2 PM," Thaddeus observed, collecting some papers. "How are things with Emeraude?""Normal as always. Tomorrow, she has a check-up, and the doctor said we can find
