Stephen groaned as he stretched his body on the bed, he was feeling so exhausted and forced his eyes open as the daylight from the window reflected on him. Why was he tired after a full night’s sleep? His head hurt as he sat up; after yawning twice in a row, he stood up from the bed and walked to the window side. He looked outside the building and could tell that it was past early morning. How did he sleep for so long?As the billionaire CEO turned to find his cellphone, he froze at the sight of something else. Blood!! There was a blood stain on the bed. He quickly checked his body to know if he had injured himself but there was no wound on any part of his body.Stephen was scared and confused at the same time, he tried to remember what happened the previous night, the memory was blurry at first, like an imagination or more of a dream. He tried to put them in place, piece by piece and slowly it began to come together.His jaws fell apart when it crossed his mind that he might have for
Anna stood in front of the door with her heart racing, she didn’t know if to open it or just wait till the person went away. She could still perceive that scent from last night, it was a unique and obviously expensive masculine cologne; she doubted the people who lived around here would be able to afford such.The knock came again and she quickly grabbed the handle of the door, she turned her back to it and breathed in heavily, before letting it out. Anna then opened the door and came to face a man who had his back to her, he turned around slowly and she froze. It was him!! Stephen Grey was standing at her door!!Anna couldn’t believe it, what was he doing here? How did he find her house? Why did he come here? Did he know she actually lived here? Was this a coincidence? These questions purged through her heart with the speed of lightning while she remained mute and frozen.Was he really there or was she just imagining it? The elegant young man, dressed in a royal blue classic suit and
“Okay Domenic, remember… if anyone is to ask you about last night, don’t say a word about it. Just tell them that we arrived at the airport this morning and if they want to know more about the details, they should meet me.” Stephen instructed as they arrived at the Gray mansion.“Sure Boss.” Domenic replied.They were at the back of 2018 model Range rover sports, a professional driver sitting in the front. They arrived in front of the massive mansion and the driver stopped the car. Stephen could hear her screams as he stepped out of the car, she was heading straight to him in excitement.Jenny Bricks, daughter of a female influencer and single mother. Jenny, who was looking to take after her mother by becoming a model, had met Stephen in one of the elite parties and had fallen in love shortly after. Now they were engaged and planning to get married in a short time.“Steve!!” she called fondly as a shorter version of his name and then she jumped into his arms like an over excited teena
“Just to be clear, Mr. Singh… You speak English, right?” Stephen asked after exchanging handshakes with the Indian man who had just arrived at their house.“Yes Sir, I bilingual,” the man replied in a funny accent and Stephen chuckled.“Well, that is fair enough,” he replied, ignoring the fact that the man had missed “am”. As long as he could pass the message correctly, Stephen had no problem with his English.Come to think of it, weren’t the Indians colonized by the British? Doesn’t that automatically make English an official language in their country, or so the billionaire CEO thought.“Please come with me, Mr. Singh. You are here at the right time, my family is waiting to meet you.” he announced as he turned back towards the house.“It will be my pleasure, Mr. Gay.” He replied.Stephen coughed immediately. “Um… sorry, but it is Mr. Gray.” He turned back and corrected immediately.“Yeah, that’s what I said.” The man replied with a smile.Stephen scratched his head and turned awkward
“You are eating a lot these days, Ana. Ever since you quit your job, you tend to eat a lot, forgetting that you don’t do any jobs all day long.” Mrs. McCurry grumbled.Ana sighed and looked down, cutting the piece of bread slowly; as much as she felt bad about her mother’s words, she knew her mom was right. She was eating a lot these days and growing fat as well. It has been a month since she quit her job and all she did all day was eat and sleep. Now she was growing so lazy that she could barely get up in the morning without persuasion.“Mom, I am going to find a job, you don’t have to remind me of that all the time,” she replied softly.“How do you expect me not to complain when you left the job that you had for no valid reason, you asked me to trust you but it has been a month already and all you do is eat and sleep while your father is toiling out there. You know you are over twenty years old, you shouldn’t even be in my husband’s house at this time. You should either be in your h
The silence in the McCurry house was haunting, Anastasia and her mom sat distances away but she could still feel the heat of the moment, the tension. As much as she was scared of her mom’s screams back at the hospital after the discovery, she was more scared of her mother’s silence.Mrs. McCurry had been staring silently at her for the past thirty minutes and Anastasia suddenly wished that her mother was rather screaming, she knew what that silence meant; her mother was pissed beyond measure, she was disappointed and heartbroken, but did Anastasia feel any better?She had just discovered or rather confirmed from the lab test that she was a month pregnant, and she knew it could only mean one thing; she was carrying the Billionaire CEO’s baby. Her baby’s daddy was Mr. CEO, the so-called most eligible bachelor of the city. How would she explain it to anyone? What would she tell her curious mother?Anastasia could stop the tears from rolling down her eyes, she might have found a way to st
There was a knock on the door and Anastasia quickly rushed to check it. Her mother had not come out ever after abandoning her in the living room and Ana valued the peace of the moment. If she didn’t go to check the door right away, it might attract her mom’s attention and once again she will be forced to endure the torturing look from the woman who had bore her.Ana opened the door and froze immediately. As much as she was in a hurry to open the door, this was the last person she wanted to see right now. It was Jake; her boyfriend who had been with her for months now. How would she explain to this guy that she was pregnant after she had told him she wasn’t ready for sex.She had refused to let him touch her because she wasn’t ready and yet he stayed, something very few men can do, and now things cannot look any uglier.From the look on his face, Anna guessed that he might have found out, or maybe it was something else bothering him and her guilty conscience was judging her, but regard
Ana was still crying on her bed when she noticed her father come into the room, she didn’t even know that he was back from work; she had not left her room ever since the conversation with Jake.Anastasia looked up to her father in tears, hoping to see the look of disappointment on his face, the same look she had gotten from her mother and her boyfriend; or ex-boyfriend now as it was most likely that her relationship was over. But Mr. McCurry didn’t have that expression on his face, in fact he wore an empathetic look as he approached her slowly.“Anna…” he called softly as he got to her.“Dad… I am sorry,” she burst into tears and bowed her head in shame.Mr. McCurry sighed and sat beside her on the bed, he looked at her with loving eyes and pulled her into his arms. “It is alright dear, please stop crying or you are going to fall sick.” He said kindly and patted her back.Ana slowly looked up, surprised by her father’s reaction. “You… you are not mad at me? You are not disappointed li
