Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 12: Going Back
A loud clang resonated around the room. Catalina had dropped the glass of water that she was drinking, the clear liquid carelessly dribbling down the table. Thomas' newspaper, on the other hand, had also escaped his grasp, merely becoming a make-shift paper towel that soaked up all the liquid on the table. Catalina closed her eyes for a moment, probably internalizing what Adriel had just said. "Was I hearing that right? Did I just hear that you're pregnant?" she asked in a gentle voice yet it somehow made her even more frightening than she already was. I bit my lips and looked down at the ground, nodding my head. "Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant," I repeated. Thomas started coughing, making Adriel worriedly go to him. "Are you alright, dad?" she asked in a gentle tone, patting his back, but Thomas just harshly slapped her hand away from him. She looked at him in disbelief, wondering how he suddenly gained that much strength in his body when during the past few days, he had become s

The two sat in awkward silence as they took a sip from their teas. It has been three weeks since they last saw each other, and up until now, Kayden still doesn't know the reason for Adriel's departure. Kayden looked at the woman sitting right in front of him and couldn't help but frown. Although her beauty can't be denied, he cannot help but notice how distressed she looked at the moment. Her skin and lips were paler, her hair wasn't styled like usual, and there was just a sad glint in her eyes. With that, Kayden couldn't help but ask. “Are you alright, Adriel?" Adriel was surprised to hear the sudden question. She placed a fake smile on her face and nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm okay," she said, although she was far from okay. "It's been quite a while since we saw each other, huh?" he said. "Yeah," Adriel looked down on her lap. "I had to leave earlier because of...something," she trailed off. Kayden curiously looked at her. "Would you mind explaining what that "something" is?" Ad

7 months later "Are you sure, Adriel? I can take the day off so I can accompany throughout the day." Adriel sighed as she momentarily placed down the glass that she was washing. "It's alright, Daphne. Just go to your shift. My due date isn't until the next two weeks anyway." Daphne sighed as she watched Adriel continue the dishes. “How many times do I have to tell you to just leave the household chores be? Your due date is quite near so you shouldn't be tiring yourself too much." "It's not that tiring," Adriel reasoned out. "And besides, you're already kind enough to let me stay in your apartment. This is the least thing that I can do for you and Ian." "You don't have to feel indebted to us, Adriel. You've helped us quite a lot in the duration that we've been friends. You can just stay here comfortably." Adriel nodded her head, although she still disagrees. It has been instilled in her mind that she should try her best to repay her friends for their kindness with every little ge

4 years later "Are you really sure, Adriel?" Daphne asked as she hauled Adriel's last bag onto the rented car. Adriel chuckled as she closed the trunk. "How many times are you going to ask me that?" she asked, humor evident in her voice. "I've already paid the deposit for my new place." "But still," she pouted. "Why can't you just stay here with us?" "You know I can't do that, Daph," she said, gesturing to her bulging stomach. It has been four years since Adriel gave birth to her baby, and they've been staying at Daphne and Ian's place ever since. However, now that Daphne announced that she is pregnant with her first child, she decided to rent her own home. She was hesitant at first, but her resolve strengthened when she thought of Zenon's future. She knew that she couldn't continue living with her friends now that Zenon was growing up. "But, I'm going to miss my baby Zenon," Daphne pouted. "We'll make sure to visit often, Daph. And besides, you're going to have your own li
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 16: When I See You Again
“I told you, I don't need a personal assistant," Zeth said to his secretary as he drowned himself in paperwork. Jo, his secretary, sighed as she opened the blinds of her boss' office. "You're seriously saying that when you didn't even have breakfast this morning?" “I didn't have time to grab some. We'll be having the big showcase next month. I don't have any time to spare." "Exactly," Jo deadpanned. "You don't even have fifteen minutes to go to a drive-through. You need a personal assistant," she insisted. Jo is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was assigned by Mr. Earl Gray to look after Zeth because he knew that his grandson had some workaholic tendencies. Zeth smiled up at Jo. "That's why I have you, right? You'll help me fix up my schedule anyway." Jo let out a long sigh. "I know, Cupid. But there's only so much that I can do. I can assure you that I can help you with work-related occurrences, but I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to fix up your personal and unexpect
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 17: Still the Same
The two of them sat face to face, none of them daring to utter the first word. Adriel tried to compose herself as much as possible, but she felt like she was dying deep inside. Underneath the table, she picked on her nails—a habit she developed whenever she felt anxious. Adriel couldn't help but internally grimace when she remembered the occurrence that happened just moments ago. She called Mr. Gray, her new boss, by his first name. But other than the embarrassment that she was currently feeling, another feeling triumphed over—confusion or maybe even shock. She had a lot of questions in her mind. What is he doing here? How did he become the CEO of this company when he was a former farmer? Not that she was looking down on farmers, but it was near impossible for someone to rise up from being a farmer to being an owner of a company. Zeth scowled as he observed the woman sitting right in front of him. When she first came into the room, he wondered if he had lost his mind. Has drowni

Adriel pressed the elevator button, breathless and soaked in sweat. When Zeth sent her to buy his favorite coffee, she thought that she'd buy it at a nearby cafe. However, the "Dream cafe" that Zeth was pertaining to was a fifteen-minute walk from the office. She didn't have any money for a cab since Jo only gave her enough money for the coffee. As the elevator door opened, Adriel rushed to the office with Zeth's coffee at hand. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zeth impatiently tapping his pen on the table while looking at the door. "Where have you been?" Zeth asked, raising one eyebrow. Adriel smiled sheepishly while placing the coffee on top of his table. "To buy your coffee, sir." Zeth looked at his watch and clicked his tongue. "You took over thirty minutes to buy just one cup of coffee?" Adriel hung her head down low. Shit. She hadn't even been here for one whole day, but she had already messed up. "The cafe was much farther than I anticipated, sir." Zeth observed
Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby Chapter 19: The Wallpaper
“See you later, baby," Adriel placed a kiss on Zenon's chubby cheeks. "Will aunt Daphne come pick me up later?" he asked with wide eyes. Adriel apologetically nodded her head. "Yeah. Mommy needs to work until the afternoon, so stay with aunt Daphne for a while, okay? Mommy's sorry." Zenon shook his head. "Mommy doesn't have to be sorry. I like playing with aunt Daphne!" Adriel smiled in relief. "That's great, then. Don't give your aunt such a hard time, okay?" "Mmmh! I always help in cleaning the house, mommy." Adriel ruffled his hair and once again kissed his cheeks. "That's my boy. If I finish earlier, I'll fetch you so we can play in the park, okay?" Zenon's eyes brightened when he heard of the park. He doesn't have many opportunities to play outdoors because Adriel is quite busy working during the day. So, a rare occurrence like this is such a happy moment for him. "Your class is about to start, so let's go now, hmm?" Zenon enthusiastically nodded his head and entered
