Gifting Her

Creed

I rubbed my head in confusion. "Save both of them." I said at once.

I couldn't afford to lose any of them.

"We will begin right away. Please sign the documents at the reception. "

I waited nervously outside the hospital room when I was done signing the documents. The fear of losing Athena when we don't even know each other makes me want to jump out of my skin.

My family members don't even scare me this much, I also don't want the mini me. I could not set my head straight.

Forty-five minutes later, the doctors came out of the ward. "Congratulations, Mr Kings. Your wife just gave birth to a girl. The surgery was a success, and we saved both your wife and your girl."

I jumped in excitement, my heart leaped for joy. The doctor patted my back and left with the other doctors.

I went to the ward, but the nurses and the cleaners were busy with the ward and Athena, so I went to my personal assistant's place.

I hailed a cab going to Luke's place.

The ride to his place was a long one, but I didn't mind. I rang the doorbell.

"What's with the smile sir?" He asked me as he opened the door and ushered me in. "Did your wife agree to what we talked about?"

The smile on my face disappeared upon hearing that question.

"I didn't get to ask her." I took off my coat, and I sat by his computers. He could afford a computer. My father had employed him since I was born.

Luke was 15 years older than me. I don't know the circumstances of his employment. The reason I had a personal assistant was that my dad didn't like to see me in person, so he often used my personal assistant to communicate with me.

"Why?"

"She's so stubborn. She picked up a fight when he started talking. She laid back on her bed and roughly then she started bleeding before she passed out. She scared the living hell out of me."

"Oh."

"Now I'm thinking of something."

"What's that?" Luke questioned me.

"You know how The Allens like attention. The press will definitely be there today when they announce the birth of their granddaughter. I want to pull out some investments so I could give gifts to Athena and my baby. That way, I can build my media recognition and public image."

"Do we need to go that far just for media recognition? It's risky! Should I call our financial advisor?"

"You said she wasn't available to speak to us. I did some foreign exchange trading, so I'm not pulling out of the major investment."

I chuckled.

"I need you to do research on Athena. I need to know what she likes."

"I already did research on her. I found nothing. She's not as transparent as we thought."

"Please contact Mike to run an investigation on her."

"We are still owing him from last time."

"I will wire you some money for his pay. I will also give you your overdue bonuses." I winked at him.

"Thanks, boss."

I withdrew my investment and ordered the latest model of Aston Martin and told the company to deliver it with a ribbon on it to the hospital.

I also contacted an online shopper to buy very expensive baby items.

When I was sure that what I needed was ready, I told Luke to rent a car, and we left for the hospital. We had to rent a car so that the press wouldn't see one heir of an elite getting off a cab. It would raise suspicions.

The security around the hospital was tight, but they allowed me in. The Allens must have given them my identity. They ushered in me while Luke waited in the car park for me.

"Good evening, sir." I shook Mr Allen. His stern face was like my father's, but he smiled at me and I felt at ease.

"Good evening ma," I gave Mrs Allen a half smile, and she grinned to her ears. Her smile always warmed my heart.

"I don't know if he married me or the both of you. He didn't even say hi to his daughter first. This is who you married me to without my permission."

"I am still curious about how you met him. I have not even spoken to you." He faced me.

"Ah, honey, this is not the best time to talk about this." Mrs Allen interrupted her husband and she signaled to me.

I didn't know what she wanted to do, but I dropped the bags of clothes I got for our daughter on the table.

"I'm sorry for leaving. I went to get you and the baby delivery gift. The baby's own is in the bags and your little gift is outside. I don't know if you have the strength to go outside now."

"I do. Don't underestimate me because I went under a knife, please."

I tried to keep my cool because of her parents. I saw her dad narrow his eyes at her.

She got down from the bed and winced in pain. I swept her off her feet and carried her in a bridal style, then I whispered to her.

"As much as I would love to see Ava before I show you your gift, I don't want you to walk outside because you haven't healed up. ," I walked out of the ward while her parents remained with Ava, our daughter.

" I wanted to name her Ava, too. ," She confessed.

"That's my birth mom's name."

"Your birth mom?"

"We are here." I dropped her before we stepped out and I closed her eyes and the car company bought the Ashton Martin just in time.

I walked her out of the hospital, while the security guided us from the press and paparazzi.

The back door of the truck opens and they lower the Black Aston Martin with a red ribbon on it. The press went wild.

I removed the blindfold from her face, and her jaw dropped.

I gave her the keys, and the press flashed cameras. She unlocked the car and got in. Then she signaled with her head to me, "Get in."

We got into the car and she drove off.

"I know what you did there. You didn't get me this car out of pure intention, King." She broke the silence. "Bloody hypocrite."

"My name is Creed. Don't fucking call me King. I would prefer babe or honey." I trying to keep myself calm after she called me King.

My father is King, not me. I hated the name.

"I do not care about what you want. I don't know what you are after doing this, but if you deliberately slept with me to gain something from my family, then joke on you and your greedy father."

"I didn't even know who you were before they brought you to the hospital." I leaned close to her. "You don't know how much mess you brought to my life in the past month. Just shut the fuck and I will text you tonight. I will leave you to calm down and get it together."

"Then tell me what happened nine months ago." She yelled. I opened the door and stepped out.

"Do you have amnesia? I guess not. You should figure it out yourself. Bye." I shut the door of her car and got into the car Luke rented. He had been trailing us.

"Please ensure she gets to the hospital safely." I got out of the car saying nothing else to him and hailed a cab home.

Immediately I got in, my step-mom threw water on my face.
