Bound To The Billion Worth Baby, The CEO Is An Extra

1. Benjamin Lockwood walked into his office with the baby bassinet in his right hand and his laptop bag in his left As soon as he reached his cabin ,he set the bassinet on the coffee table and looked down to see his niece sleeping peacefully Baby Sapphire, eighteen months old is his step sister's daughter. Eleanor came to his life when he was twelve years old and she was ten. Three years after his mother Marianna's death ,William Lockwood married Elizabeth Lockason ,a widow with a ten year old daughter. When his father re married ,he was all set to deal with the atrocities of an evil step mom ,having believed that all step mothers are like Cindrella's step mom. But Elizabeth loved and took care of Benjamin like her own. With his father's second marriage ,Benjamin got another mother and a lovely sister. Life was happy until Eleanor met John. William and Benjamin were against Eleanor's relationship with John ,as the guy was a good for nothing fellow or so they thought Benjam

3.A week passed by with Benjamin getting the hang of how to deal with Sapphire The first evening Sapphire woke up crankily. Most of the day she has been sleeping. Only woke up for her drink and food and promptly went back to sleep The social worker from the child welfare had mentioned that Sapphire had a terrible night the day before. She kept waking up at night asking for her mama. Benjamin had panicked seeing Sapphire jutting out her lower lip ready for another session of wailing Madison,one of the care takers of Lockwood household had came in for rescue finally She had instructed Benjamin to take off his shirt and hold the baby close to his chest. The skin to skin contact ,it seems ,helps in bonding The baby ,initially wriggled in his hold ,but later snuggled into him She had got that kind of warmth only from her mama before. And she lapped up all that warmth she was feeling after whole three weeks. "Keep talking to her Benjamin. Sing her a lullaby" Madison had instruc

5The door of Benjamin's cabin opened with a bang and they book looked up to see Alessandro rushing inside. He stood shocked seeing Benjamin holding Isabella's hands Isabella quickly extricated her hands from Benjamin's hold and stood up gulping "What the hell?" Alessandro asked in outrage Alessandro Carter, an Italian, works in the hardware department of the company and before Benjamin had taken on the CEO position ,he had worked in the same department for six months. He had always found Alessandro easy going and friendly. But now the man appears furious for some reason "Alessandro?? Everything alright??" Benjamin asked only to get a glare in return Benjamin frowned at the confusing behavior of the man. The glare then turned from him and ended upon Isabella ,who moved to hide behind him "What??" Benjamin asked seeing Isabella cowering behind him clutching on to his shirt tightly "Izzy" Alessandro called furiously and Benjamin frowned "I didn't do anything fratellone. I sw

7"Elizabeth, are the gifts ready?" William asked as he looked at his watch.William Lockwood wasted no time in getting expensive gifts, jewels, fruits chocolates and whatever else took his fance, to be taken to the Carter House to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage.From what little he heard from Alessandro Carter, he understood they are not out for Lockwood fortune unlike Eleanor's in laws. That makes their daughter a good bride for his precious son. "Yes. But aren't we going a little overboard William. We are going just to ask for their daughter's hand in marraige. Not to fix the wedding. What if they rejected the proposal?" Elizabeth asked, not sure about taking the gifts along. William is over doing it."Reject? Why would they reject the Lockwood heir? Would they get a better son in law than our son, Elizabeth. He is handsome. He is responsible. He is well settled. And he is humble and compassionate, unlike some spoiled brats in our social circle. Above all that, he is no

9."I can't believe they said no" William said, sighing, for the umpteenth time Benjamin rolled his eyes again "A good wake up call, wasn't it dad?" Benjamin asked sarcastically "Cut the sarcasm Ben" "It was expected" Elizabeth said "I actually liked them" William said and Benjamin raised an eyebrow at that William Lockwood is a man pretty hard to please. To know that he liked the family after a half an hour visit is quite surprising. "What? Don't look at me like that. I'm actually a pretty good judge of character. And they all seem very humble and honest people." "Well. It was not meant to be" Elizabeth said "The girl is really very pretty. She would have looked perfect with Ben" William said wistfully Benjamin closed his eyes and leaned back on the couch with a sigh The picture his father just painted is actually quiet beautiful. He knows he is a good looking man. He had been told that many times. And Isabella is a very beautiful girl. He was too busy with the court
