Carrying The Billionaire's Child

MANNYManny has been working as early as 7 in the morning preparing the models for the upcoming fashion show.Looking at the clock, she discovered that it was already late into the afternoon and she hadn't even had breakfast yet. With sweat running down her face and a bunch of pins in her mouth, Manny felt tired. All she wanted was to go back to her office, relax, and have a good lunch. Good thing she was dressing the last model for the day.“Allen Cooper and his father will be coming by the office today to sort out the contract for the marriage and I want you to remember that this marriage benefits the both of us and you must sign the contract. ” her mum said in a serious tone, coming out of the large dressing room.Manny felt irritated and fed up. Her mum has been pestering her about the contract for the last two weeks, why couldn't she just accept that she's not ready to marry? “No Mother, I want to marry someone who loves me for me and not just what he can get out of me.” “I d

MANNYAvery hated Manny on the spot. She made up her mind to keep the fashion house now that it has fallen in her hands on a platter of gold.After all, her dear cousin might never find someone to marry her.Manny tried to avoid Avery all through the night till the morning. She couldn't bear being with someone who was taking something that was her's. Meanwhile, her mother seemed to be avoiding her. She was either busy designing or staying in her office doing who knows what all day.Manny had so many questions. She felt mistreated, how could her mother give something that's rightfully hers to an outsider– although Avery was a long distance cousin.As Manny was in her office stuffing her face with food, Avery walked in like she owned the place.“See Manny this is why no one will ever want you. Look at all these junk food” Avery said, her face contorted with disgust. “What do you want Avery? Aren't you supposed to be overseeing the models?”A twain of frown appeared on Avery's face. S

ANDREWAfter seeing Kate's call, he couldn't bring himself to answer it. He hated how she made him feel vulnerable.As he drove home he thought of all the possible reasons that she would call. Maybe there was a chance that she was coming back.Getting home, he noticed a tiny figure waiting for him by the door. As he got closer, he saw his mother's large brown eyes staring at him.Overcome with so many emotions, his mother leaned into him crying. There were so many unsaid words at that moment.“It’s alright mum, everything will be fine." Andrew said, holding his mother tightly.He wished there was a way to ease the pain that she felt. He might have to stumble to the wish of his after. They stayed that way a little longer until she was tired of crying.Leading her by the hand, Andrew carried her to her room. “Andrew, come in here.” Mr Allen called from his study across the hallway.Andrew stiffened as he heard his father call out to him. He hoped it was not another one of his father's

ANDREWDoctor Harry didn't say much on the phone and so the next day, Andrew woke up as early as he could and went straight to the hospital. Andrew couldn't sleep throughout the night. All he kept thinking of was how the doctor in charge had done a terrible job and now he had to pay someone who might not even be carrying his child.Just thinking about it angered him.He then picked up Cece halfway through the drive explaining everything to her.“There was a mistake!" Cece shrieked, looking terrified. "So I might not be carrying your child? But you'll still pay me right?" Cece asked as she subconsciously placed a hand on her belly.A part of her really wanted to carry a child. She wanted to know how it feels since she doesn't plan on marrying.Andrew glanced at her briefly and turned his gaze back to the road. Was money the only thing she was after? She might not get pregnant because of a mistake and her only problem was whether she was still getting paid?“Yes I'll still pay you, you

MANNY“How? When? why now?” Avery asked dozens of questions all at the same time.She was confused.Why would Manny want a child now? and her mother approved of it?Unless… Avery thought.Kari had already decided to give her daughter the fashion house. A frown appeared on her confused face. “How is it even possible? You don't even have a boyfriend. No one agrees to date because of your appearance and you can't even get up from the chair without causing the table to shake." Avery pointed out angrily.She ran all the errands and now Manny was going to take her spot in the company? No way.Not wanting to hear the details, Avery quickly left Manny's office finding her way home.Manny clenched the side of her desk to suppress her emotions.So what if she caused things to topple over when she stood up? Couldn't she still have a family? A child?Manny tried several things to make her lose weight—dieting, exercising, detox—but nothing seemed to work for her.So she gave up and instead ate mo
