HER YOUNGER BABY DADDY

Coraline's POVElijah dropped his cup on the counter and recoiled, " What?" I quickly packed my things, " Look, I don't have time to talk. I have to get home, tell Mei what happened, and that I'm sorry I left abruptly."" Do you need a ride?" He brought out his car keys and I shook my head. "No, I'm fine. I can drive myself home." I rushed out of the cafe, got into the car, and drove home like my life depended on it. I arrived home and there was a truck parked in front of it. Some men were taking things into the truck and others were throwing things on the lawn. Oh my God, was that my toaster in the yard? I parked my car and stormed out."Excuse me?" I called out to the men in the truck, " What the hell is going on? What are you doing in my house? Who gave you this order?"One of the men, bald and stocky with a half-grown mustache sneered, " Quit your yapping lady, the boss is inside. We're just doing what we were told to do." I gasped, unable to believe his tone. I clicked my ton

Coraline's POV"I should go speak with Mei, is she in the kitchen? I have a premonition that she will be interested in hearing this tale."Elijah adjusted his coat and began to depart, but I reached across the counter and grasped his hand."Don't you fucking dare?"I snarled. Mei would be devastated if she found out that I had lied. Elijah observed my grip on his hand, smirked, then flicked it away."Louise," I beckoned to my junior barista, "can you cover for me for just five minutes? There's some trash that needs taking care of.""Of course, only five minutes though," She replied. It pained me to leave her as we were currently experiencing our busiest period. With my cup of coffee in hand, I escorted Elijah over to a table facing the entrance of the kitchen; in case Mei emerged unexpectedly, I wanted to be able to spot her before she saw us. We seated ourselves and leaned forward on the table.I took a swig of my drink before talking, "So what do you want from me now Eli? Do you want

Coraline's POV The stench of antiseptics and blood was the first thing that hit me when I regained consciousness. I could hear the beeping of different machines and there was a slight sting on my arm, I opened my eyes and I could see was white, I tried to twist my body so I could look around but my stiff body retaliated."Fuck!" A sharp pain went through my right arm to my brain, I shut my eyes as the pain registered in my brain."Cora! Oh my God, Cora, you're awake?" Mei's face flooded my field of vision. "Mei, what the hell happened? Why are you here?" Mei's forehead creased with worry, " I got a call that you had fainted, I'm your emergency contact, you know. I got here as soon as I got the call. The doctor had already checked you, and he said you fainted because of stress and hypoglycemia, your sugar was fricking below 54mg/dl. Have you even eaten anything in the last 24 hours?"So not only was Becca in the hospital racking up the bill, I had joined her. God, I'll be glad if I

Coraline's POVBecca's surgery had been successful and she was recuperating nicely, She was the easiest convalescent ever according to the nurses. Mei and Tyler had come to visit us for the first time after her surgery. Tyler sat on the chair next to the bed and played a game with Becca on his iPad while Mei sat next to me pulling out the different things she had brought for us.She was quiet and for Mei, that was never good. A quiet Mei was a dangerous Mei. I had a feeling she had a lot she wanted to say but she was still piecing them together."Hey, babe, can you watch Becca for a while, Cora and I are going to get some snacks from the vending machine down in the cafeteria." Mei flipped her hair to look at Tyler as she spoke.He gave her a thumbs up, " Sure, take your time. Becs and I need to beat this high score." " Thanks, let's go, Cora." Mei stood and stuck her fingers in the pockets of her jeans.I stared at the bag of snacks that was on the ground. We had enough snacks to las

Coraline's POVI patted my chest and coughed loudly, my throat burned causing my eyes to well up with tears. "Shit, Coraline, are you okay?" He stood and touched my arm. I shook my head and shot him a glare, did I look like I was okay?"Fuck, you're choking. Water, water, you need water." He hurriedly picked up a cup of water and handed it to me. I enclosed my lips around the cool glass and gulped down the liquid. My airways cleared up and my throat freed up as the water pushed down the bolus.I slammed the glass on the table, anger running through my veins, and twisted my neck to glower at him."Are you insane? How could you tell me that while I was eating? Were you planning to kill me?!" I forgot that Becca was at the table with us until we squealed."Sorry baby, don't mind Mommy, I'm just a little bit tired." I reached over and squeezed her hand then twisted my neck in a creepy manner and glared at Elijah again.He took a sip of his wine before talking, " That wasn't my intention.
