Pregnant

Daphne Pov

The next day was peaceful to me because I clicked to my room and didn't even realize the time was already past spent.

My mind drifted to the event that happened yesterday, it was still on a replay. It felt like things should be reversed.

Truth be told, I have been checking my phone to see if he would call but no, I guess he doesn't have time.

I stood up about to get into the bathroom but my phone rang. I turned my back and ran towards it to check the caller and yes, it was him indeed.

The call I have been anticipating. I picked it instantly and cleared my throat. "Yes please, this is Daphne Perez on the line. " I deliberately said, so he would know my name but I just heard a little chuckle.

"Okay, okay. Ryker is on the line too. Can we see tonight? There is a dinner party occuring this night and I would be happy if you could go with me. I don't have a date! " He opened up and I couldn't help but beamed.

Although I had second thoughts about Finn, of course I wouldn't let the opportunity pass by. He had said we aren't real and we should do things our separate ways so I'm actually doing that now

"Please don't decline." He pleaded at the end of the phone and I smiled.

" Sure, we can meet up tonight." I agreed and could feel his grins.

" Thanks for honoring my invitation. I will come pick you up at night, just beep at the address." He informed me and I nodded.

" Okay sure."

The call ended and I grinned. I was happier, Perhaps because I haven't even gone out on a date since I got myself into this marriage. I was trying to give him the respect he deserves but now he actually made way for me to be free.

I jumped on my bed and laid flat. " Oh gosh, I hope today goes well." I muttered with a blush.

The mere thought of going out with a handsome man got me feeling goosebumps all over my body.

You know you're married!

My inner mind cautioned me and I sneezed. "Married my foot! The marriage is all fake as he said."

‡‡‡

It was already noon and I was fully dressed, I was just getting out of the room and it wasn't anyone's business. I was wearing a long blue dinner gown which was splitted in the front making it look more sexy. I graciously stepped down the trails earning mouthwatering stares from the maids as they wondered what was going on.

"I will be back, please inform my husband." I announced and they silently bowed their heads.

I stepped outside and the driver wanted to open the car but I stopped him. "No, I won't be using the car today."

"Why ma'am?" he asked, looking more confused.

I was about to say something when a Car drove to my front. The glasses were worn down and I saw the man I was dying to see. He was looking more handsome with a bad boy vibe. If no one wants to make me happy, then I've got to enjoy myself.

I turned to look at the driver whose mouth was open as he stared at the way I entered the car. He just stood still in surprise.

No one actually knew I could be this smart and I'm sure they would be more surprised but it wasn't my wish.

"I hope you're good darling?" He asked as soon as I was seated.

"Yes I'm, you look… I don't even know what words could be used to describe breathtaking because you're more than that."

He blushed and played with my nose. " Any words you use are preferable but permit me to use the word goddess to address you.

"You're a beauty goddess and trust me you would earn a lot of stares. I feel so lucky to be in your arms. Tonight, you can use me as your ATM because I'm ready." He took my hand and placed a peck on it.

" I love your scent" he added, my cheeks burned like tomatoes.

"Please stop flattering me." I beamed.

He gave me daring eyes and smirked sexily." You made me flatter you this much. Trust me, I don't admire ladies like this." He flirted and I blushed.

After that, everywhere became silent as we stole glances at each other. Finally the car stopped and the door to the car was opened, I made a huge sigh and bit my lips.

Why was I suddenly anxious when I was here?

"Bring your hands pretty?" He offered and I smiled, bringing out my hands to him, he held it and we got outside.

Lot of people were outside and I imagined what it would be like inside.

It felt like Ryker noticed, his grip softened on my hand. Assuring me everything would be okay.

"Be calm" he whispers to my ear. "Breathe in and breathe out, it helps a lot."

I tried it and felt better instantly

We strode inside the lady with a lot of eyes, they were all staring at us and I realized it was actually the biggest people in town who were invited.

"Good day" I heard him greet some people. My face wandered around like I was looking for someone and yes it was actually a fight because it was like I saw someone I knew. It stopped right in front of someone, I closed my eyes and opened again to check if it was the same person..

"Not again!!!!"

FiNN and his best friend!!!?

"What the hell is he doing here with his best friend!?"

Chapter Five

Daphne Pov

This Valerie isn't ashamed at all, she was even the one seducing him. Somebody's husband.

"Are you okay?" Ryker asked and I nodded instantly.

" Yes I am"

"Wait right here, let me greet my clients. I will be right back and don't miss me too much." He winked and placed his lips on my forehead which surprised me.

Duh, I wasn't expecting that.

My eyes went back to the nonsense people and finally our eyes met. He squeezed his face instantly. I knew he would wonder if I would come along. Ryker appeared again as he whispered something into my ears earning a smile from me.

Finn's eyes grew wider, Ryker pecked my hand and left again. His face was fierce like he could do something but I scoffed.

I actually don't care anymore. I made way to get some drinks but a strong hand dragged me back behind and I moaned in pain. My hands hurt but yet he couldn't stop until we were at a corner.

I knew it was him but I closed my eyes. "What do you want, Finn?"

"You dare ask me what I want? Huh!" He fired with an angry tone and that was when I glared up at him.

"Yes! Why are you so furious about me! Can't you mind your business? You made it clear to me that you don't need my rest…."

" So it made you think and you decided to flirt with my best friend right?" He questioned irritatedly.

I stood there trying to understand what he was saying. "What do you mean?"

"The guy you came with, is my best friend!!!". He yelled and I went silent.

I didn't even j know he had another bestfriend. "I didn't know he's your best friend and I believed that I knew he was. I would have just declined." I said out honestly but he just scoffed and left my hand. He left my side before I could say anything again.

This isn't my fault!

"What are you doing over there?" I heard Ryker's voice as he came toward my direction. "Did I'd something wrong? Aren't you comfortable?" He questioned worriedly, I smiled and shook my head.

" No I'm fine"

"Then let me introduce you to my friends" he said and my heart skipped.

Introduction?

I felt like he knows me and he's trying to play along.

"Your friends?"

"Yes, or don't you like it? I just want them to know the lady I came in with. That all"

" Okay" I replied and followed him.

He introduced me to his friends, they all just drool over me. "Hey, take your eyes off her" Ryker warned, my eyes went in the same direction and I couldn't see Finn anymore but Valerie was still there and her eyes were now plastered on me, she rolled her eyes at me in disgust and I did the same.

I knew there was now how she would let whatever I did to her the other time but I was born ready for her.

Finn Pov

I gulped down the fifth bottle of my alcohol. I didn't know what was wrong but I had my mood change when I saw her. It was just like yesterday when she first came into my house. She would be quiet and would act like she was a saint but it has been months now and she decided to unleash her nonchalant attitude.

I'm Finn Sanchez, the wealthy and respected man who's also devastatingly handsome. Yeah, I've a childhood best friend named Valerie, who I stayed close to throughout the years. We have a special bond that's unbreakable. I and Valerie enjoy spending time together, talking about everything and nothing, laughing and having fun. We're always there for each other, no matter what.

I'm 30 years old, 6'2", with dark hair and eyes that sparkle with intelligence. I'm extremely well-dressed, always wearing designer clothes and accessories. I work with some of the most powerful and influential people in the city, and I earned their respect and admiration through my hard work and dedication. I'm also humble and kind, always willing to help others in need. Wait, am I really? No! I'm not humble

I'm actually quite the powerhouse. I'm a force to be reckoned with, a strong-willed and driven individual who won't take no for an answer. I'm not afraid to speak my mind, and I'm always ready to stand up for what I believe in. While I'm kind and generous, I'm also a fierce protector of those who I care about, especially my best friend and I'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe. My strength of character is one of the defining features, and it's a big part of what makes me so successful.

Even being this fierce and with power, I was still held by my grandfather that anything he says must be done.

Getting married wasn't my wish but he's due to some unknown reasons and till today I still try to find why he would just wake up one morning and decide I was getting married.

Not even with some influence but with someone this low as Daphne!

I sighed in disgust as I realized what she did today.

I can't believe Daphne Perez came along with my best friend!!!

Ryker Taylor is my best friend, my business partner and also the one managing my company in California.

We've known each other for ten years and he just came back to check some business.

When I first saw them, I didn't know what was wrong but I felt annoyed, agitated and stupid.

She brought in my best friend as her date and I felt she was even mocking me.

The door opened and there she was, looking like a fish. Her eyes darted to mine and I hissed.

She walked closer to me to check if I was okay. "Hey Finn, are you okay?"

"You dare ask me that stupid question slut?" I fired angrily at her and she flinched backwards with her hands in the hangcliff. "You stoop so low going out with my best friend!!!"

She cleared her throat. " Finn, I don't know what your problem is because you actually made it clear that we should do things our separate ways so why are you here again!! You told me we are fake and I'm admitting to that!"

Her words struck into my head as I stood up angrily dashing towards her.

I held her throat up irritatedly. " You!!!!!!!!"
