Zaden's pov…

“I won't let anyone hurt you,” I moved closer, closing the gap between us.

“I won't get hurt…”

“...Is that why you have been distant these past weeks?” She moved backwards, recreating the gap between us.

“I didn't want to get you involved. These people are dangerous.” I didn't move again; I just stood, allowing my eyes to study her as I clenched my fist to stop myself from reaching out to her.

“No, you should have told me, you don't get to choose what I can and cannot handle, I am not some fragile doll you keep in a chest, Zaden.” The tone of her voice increased slightly.

“Don't go back to the restaurant at least until I have handled this situation.” I pleaded

Mila was stubborn, but her safety mattered more.

"I would go, what happened to ‘tightening security’?”

"It would take at least a month to put maximum security protocols around the restaurant. If we start immediately, it would tip them off that we are scared.”

“And not showing up, won't?”

I sighed, “Mila please.”

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 50

    Mila's POV…Barely a minute before his phone beeped, jolting us back to reality.“Sorry… Sorry.” He stumbled backwards, washing his hands over his face.I cleared my throat, “Uhm…It's…okay.”He waved his phone in the air, ”Your clothes are here.”“Right.”Another awkward silence.“I would go get them.”“Okay,” I answered quickly, biting my lips where his taste still lingered.He left the room as quickly as well.“Fuck.” I muttered beneath my breath, running my hands through my hair.He was back in a few minutes with a bunch of bags and boxes.“Did you buy an entire mall?”“I can't buy what I already own, can I?”“Not surprised.”“You can check them out, see if they fit.”"When I said I needed clothes, I meant regular work clothes.”“They are regular.”“No, these are designers.”“What's the difference?”“I don't want to walk into your company looking like I screwed my boss for some designers and got knocked up.”“You did screw your boss, and got knocked up.”“Haha. Not funny and you we

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 48

    Mila's pov...My eyes stayed on the words, my body refused to move.My palms dampened as my fingers curled slightly.“You don't plan on spending the rest of the night here, do you?” Emily called out impatiently as she walked in.I wiped the writing away quickly, my sleeves smearing the letters until they disappeared, before she could come closer."You good?” She asked, her eyes searching mine."Of course…let's go. I am starving.” I wrapped my hand in hers. I wasn't sure I could've moved on my own; my legs felt hollow beneath me.I smiled widely, though it didn't quite reach my eyes.Cutlery scraped against plates, the kitchen door swinging open and closed as orders rolled in and out.Voices rose and fell around me, but none of them reached me.I was physically present, but my mind was still back at my restaurant; Standing, staring at the words like they might reappear if I blinked.The warning was clear and direct. The message was for me.“Mila, Mila, Mila!” At the last call, I repli

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 47

    Mila's POV…Yellow tapes, police cars, and sirens blaring in the distance.I instinctively dialed Zaden's number.“Mila, what's wrong?” It would be the first time I ever called him.We had collected each other's contacts after we signed our contract, but since then I had no need for it.My voice croaked, “Can you come over to the restaurant?”No questions asked, “On my way.” Goose bumps covered my skin, as I stared at the damage done. The place was a mess, with broken windows and tampered plumbing.The police said it was a break-in, in search of valuables, common for new businesses.Nothing was missing and somehow, that made it worse.Something wasn't right. In a couple of minutes, Zaden arrived at the scene.“Where is my Fiancé?” Zaden yelled at one of the cops, shifting my attention from the scene before me.From where I stood I could see how tense his face was.“Zaden? I am here.” I called out for him.One of the police men tried to stop, Zaden scowled at him ready to push throu

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 46

    Mila's POV…Zaden's lips found mine.He didn't kiss hungrily, he kissed like he was searching for something deeper to hold on toBut it only lasted for a fraction of a second before I pulled away.A crease formed between his brows.His kiss didn't feel warm and hazy like the first time. Rather anger boiled deep within.“I am not kissing the same mouth you just used to do God knows what, with God knows whom.”“What?” Zaden's breathing was ragged, as he ran his hands through his hair.“I didn't kiss her or do anything, it was a harmless date.”“Oh that's good to know, it makes things so much better.” I didn't hide the sarcasm in my tone, as I spoke.I didn't care to know whom he went out with; it wasn't my business.The truth is, I doubted my heart could take it.“I am going to sleep, Zaden. I would appreciate some space as we had maintained for the past few weeks.”He wants distance, so he would get it.“I had to go on the date," he said quietly. “And I hated every second of it.“There

    Zaden's pov…Candace's voice washed over the table, she rambled and circled back on old stories I'd already heard.I caught only bits of what she was saying as I zoned in and out.Out more than in.My fork hovered midair, forgotten.Candace was in front of me, but all I could see was Mila's face. How her eyes flickered when I mentioned the words dinner date.Or was I now imagining things?Imagination or not, it didn't help the guilt that sat heavily in my gut, settling deeper the longer I stayed.I wanted to be in bed with Mila, even though we weren't exactly on speaking terms. Thanks to me.I would still pick her silent treatment a thousand times over any other activity.“You seem awfully quiet tonight.”“Long day.” I sighed.“I have the perfect idea on how to relieve stress, why don't we ditch dinner and head over to my apartment?” She placed her hands on mine gently stroking them as she spoke.I jerked my hand from hers, she knew better than to touch me.Whenever Mila touched me, i
