Vanessa's POV
The living room was a mess. Chairs had been flung to a corner. Broken shards of glass lay around like someone purposely smashed things to the floor. Pieces of paper littered the house and I just knew, that something even more terrible than usual had happened while I was at work.
“Your dad finally asked to be granted a divorce,” She said tiredly to me and my heart hitched. “Did you-?”She sighed. “Yes, and immediately I did, different people came in here insisting to be paid their debts. They were pretty violent about it.” She recounted to me with her head facing up. Her face was grim with years of sadness and a tormenting marriage. She looked so old and tired.And I felt weak at the news I had just received. I wondered why my dad had lived his life recklessly. He wasn’t just a gambler, he was also a chronic cheat. It was better he left us alone. Sighing deeply, I asked, “Would you like me to make you a cup of milk? It will help you sleep. I think you need to get what just happened over your head.” I said to her and she weakly nodded. I walked toward the kitchen and stood still when I saw the absolute carnage in the kitchen. Ceramic plates had been broken and I had to walk carefully so as not to get a single shard of the broken pieces in my foot.After I had made her drink some milk, I plastered on a fake smile and urged her, “Come lie down, Mom.” I had to pull her up and supported her to her room. For some reason, her room was neat and untouched. The only place in this house that had not been completely trashed.I wondered why?“Thank you, Vanessa,” She sighed as she relaxed on the bed. I only smiled, petting her cheek. Then I watched her till she fell asleep.As soon as she drifted off, I shut the door to her room quietly and walked back to the living room. I picked up my bag and walked towards the front door. I could not to stay home tonight. I had to get what had just happened out of my mind and that included getting wasted tonight and damn any consequences that came with it.After all my happiness only laid at the bottom of a bottle.I just wanted to be alone. That was why I did not even text Estelle, my drinking buddy and best friend that I was planning to get wasted at some random club. I could not handle having anyone around me while I was feeling so shitty after seeing my mother in that state.And seeing the house completely thrashed.Plus, the fucking monster that called himself my father had finally filed for divorce, and now all his many creditors were on our necks. All his creditors were ruthless, scary people who could do anything to get their money. My three jobs barely did enough to pay the bills around the house, so how could I deal with all of these?I could not handle thinking about my grim future, so I would drown myself in alcohol. With that intent in mind, I walked through the many dancing and grinding bodies in the club towards the bar. Loud music vibrated through the walls, the smells of cigarettes and beer filtered into my nostrils. The partying was in full swing.When I finally got to the counter, I collapsed on a stool and ordered as many tequila shots as I could. Then I started to chug it all down, ignoring the look the scary bar man was giving me. As I swallowed, my lungs, nose and eyes burned from the harsh alcohol, but I liked it. Soon, shot after shot, I could barely sit upright on my stool. The music sounded like it was coming from underwater.But I felt great.Some random beat started to play, and the club was on fire, screams and bodies dancing hard to the beat. I smiled and loosened my hair from my ponytail. I got off the stool, taking a few steps closer to the dance floor with my hair bouncing. Throwing my hands up, I started to move my hips around in an obscene way, feeling my short dress move around my thighs in a way that attracted night predators.Soon, I felt one of the horny club guys slide beside me, trying to press his crotch against my ass while I danced. I turned around and pushed him off, glaring through my drunk vision. “Get off.”With a scoff, I stumbled away from the dude and went back to my stool at the counter. But when I got to my seat, I saw that it was already occupied by some man.“That’s my seat.” I snapped drunkenly. “Get off.”The man looked away from his glass of alcohol to cast a lazy glance my way. And when my eyes focused on him clearly, my lips parted in shock. He was absolutely gorgeous. Glassy hazel eyes stared at me intensely, with a sense of dominance and power that rippled through my skin. His dark brown hair was sexy messy, and the grey shirt he had on did nothing to hide the toned chest muscles and abs lining his torso.He was so handsome. And it made a hot blush flood my cheeks.“Hey, you!” The scary voice of the bar man suddenly made me break eye contact with him. “Pay up for all the shots you had, you little bitch. Trying to run away?”Being dead drunk gave me courage, and I showed him my middle finger, grabbing my bag which was still miraculously intact. “I’ll pay you your money, damn it.” I huffed, barely standing straight on my own feet.I was still struggling to find some money in my bag, feeling the gorgeous guy staring down my body with those beautiful hazel eyes. It made my hands shake. Or maybe it was just the tequila I had. After a moment of digging through my bag, I froze in horror.There was no money in my bag.Vanessa's POVI slowly looked up at him, with a drunk and nervous smile. “Look, I drink here regularly. Can you just note down how much I owe you and I’ll come pay later-”“What?” The bar man roared, slamming his heavy fists on the counter. I flinched, nearly falling to the floor from the brute force. “You fucking bitch, after all those many shots, you have fucking nothing to pay with?” He slammed his cleaning towel on the counter and started to move towards me threateningly, “If you can’t pay in cash, make your body useful!”My legs were too heavy to even move, and the alcohol was making my eyes spin. So I could not even get away as the bar man stormed towards me. Shit. I should have brought Estelle. She knew how to get out of dangerous situations like this.The bar man’s meaty hand reached out to grab me as he growled, “Bitches like you should not be in the fucking club if you’re broke!”But another strong hand grabbed waist and pulled me back before the bar man touched me. With a
Rodri's POVKnock. Knock. Knock.A series of knocks filtered into my ears from the door to my office as I reclined my back on the executive chair. My eyes were shut as I was trying to relax for a moment.The interruption grated at my nerves as I had told my secretary that I needed rest so no one should come in until I had said otherwise. I wondered why she was still knocking on the door, against my orders. It had better be for a good reason."Come in." I said calmly, with my eyes still shut.I heard the door open, followed by the familiar clicking of my secretary’s heels on the glass floor. Her foot steps moved across the office till she came to a meek stop by my desk."Mr. Darnell, Sir?” Gina called, warily.I let out a low groan of irritation. Then I slowly opened my eyes and sat upright staring straight at her. With a flat voice, I called her back. “Gina.”She tentatively answered, “Yes, boss?” Her fingers twisted around each other nervously. She should know I hate to be interrupte
Rodri's POVI was mad because she was turning me the fuck on when I knew better than to have sex in my place of work. But when she slowly reached behind her, and I heard the sharp sound of her zip coming undone, I gulped in what seemed like a cup of saliva to me. She was really serious about fucking right here, right now.I licked my bottom lip softly, watching as she pulled off her dress till it dropped to the floor around her bare feet. She was not wearing a bra, or even panties, so every inch of her naked skin was exposed the moment she removed her clothes. Slowly, Trinity started walking toward me naked.My cock throbbed with hot need inside my pants. I slowly straightened up, getting up from my seat to my full height. Her eyes filled with delight when she saw that I was responding to her.She had already gotten me aroused. Spending the rest of the day with an uncomfortable erection was not what I wanted, so I would use her to get rid of it. After all that was what she fucking w
Rodri's POVAs I flushed the used condom down the toilet, I smirked. I was always extra careful with women because I didn’t want anyone stealing my semen for their own use and later come up to say I was a father.There were a whole lot of gold diggers out there.In another room attached to my office for nights I sleep over, I changed into fresh office clothes. Trinity was gone by the time I got back to the office. It was funny of her to think she had a chance to birth my child even if I wanted one. I would choose a hundred girls before her.I loved my life the way it was. I wasn't answerable to anyone and could live my life as I pleased. I had watched most of my friends who were in relationships, love just one person. I couldn't fucking see the benefits in that when you could get as many women as you wanted. Most of them were ready to throw themselves at me just for my looks alone, not to mention when they found out who I was, so who was I to reject any, when I could have them all?
Rodri's POVI stepped out of my car and walked straight towards the glass of entrance of the huge hospital building. Dolphin hospital was one of the many assets of Dolphin group, and it had the largest building in this district.A couple of security men nodded politely at me, in greeting and I nodded back. Before I even stepped into the reception, I knew that news had spread throughout the hospital like a wild fire that the chairman, Cameron Darnell's only son and heir was visiting the hospital.It was just a low profile visit, but the employees would always blow things out of proportion, since I was going to be their future boss. By the time I got to the reception desk, the three of the five nurses stationed there were smiling and waiting for my arrival.“Hello, Mr. Darnell.”“Good morning, Mr. Darnell!”“What a pleasant surprise!” One of the nurses said, amidst bright smiles and a giggly voice. “Your secretary didn’t call to let us know you’d be stopping by the hospital today!”I fl
Rodri's POVMy eyes widened after she said those words, and I got up from my seat, glaring at her. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you saying things like that here, in my father’s hospital, of all damn places!”She shrugged casually. “No one will find out. I am your designated nurse, and we’ll be in the privacy room. No interruptions. No cameras. As long as we don’t make any noise.” She winked and giggled. “Besides, couples do it here all the time. Especially if we need the man’s semen immediately for a test. It is not such a big deal.”“We are not a couple.” I snapped and walked forward, brushing past her out of the room. She immediately followed me, heels clacking against the pristine marble floor. “Alright, alright, you don’t have to act up like that.”I ignored her words, keeping silent the whole time she led me through some turns in the hospital hallways till we got to a secluded door, after some minutes. She opened the door and I stepped in, casually glancing around th
Vanessa's POVThe crazy thing about my sudden, freak pregnancy, was that it felt like the baby inside me was getting bigger every damn second. I knew those were just my nerves, anxiety and panic messing with my mind, but I just could not wait, to get rid of it.The baby planted inside me by a stranger who I don’t even remember. I woke up in that club room the next morning after the sex, completely blank. And hungover.The tequila shots had done a great job in wiping off all the memories of the stranger from my mind. Now I was stuck with his baby.I had told someone about it. Not even my best friend, but a reverend father that I had never met before. A stranger, basically.I had honored my penance.And now, there was no going back. Luckily for me, in one of my jobs, the staff had medical cards which were paid for from our pay, so with this card, I could get the abortion done safely in one of the most expensive hospitals in this city.Dolphin hospital.The interior was pure glass, extre
Vanessa's POVI stared at Trinity, with a confused expression etched on my face. What in the world was she talking about? I voiced my confusion, shifting in my seat uncomfortably, “What do you mean? I don’t understand.”Trinity smiled, looking over me with a smile on her face. “I mean, you are perfect. You’ve got a lot going on with your life that you don’t have we time to think of men, right?”“How do you know that—”“Are you forgetting we went to the same high school?” She purred. “Everyone found it odd that you avoided homecoming and prom just because you did not want to get a date. If that’s still the case now, then you are definitely not going to fall in love and mess things up.”Raising my hands, I let out a nervous laugh. “Hello? I’m completely lost here, Trinity.”She scooted closer to me, with a dead serious expression on her face. “You are newly pregnant. And there is a billionaire who wants a surrogate, to carry his baby. The money, benefits and allowances he is willing to
