The Millionaire´s Enigma 1. The problem
Love has no cure, but it is the only cure for all ills. Leonard Cohen.It seemed stupid to her to be forced to have a child. Having to prove to his father that he could have a genetic inheritance was not something Ayden Emory cared about. It was enough that he was one of the best businessmen in the United States, awarded many times for his business skills, and to top it off, he was running the family company with excellence.Wasn't that enough?Ayden laughed as he left his father's office, he may be an excellent businessman and have many awards, but he knows what good is nothing when it comes to negotiating with the man who taught him everything he knows.“Katty, call my lawyer,” he ordered over the loudspeaker to his assistant. Tell him to meet me at my house in an hour.He hangs up.She doesn't wait for them to say okay, much less say thank you. After all, they are just employees and do as they are told. He gets into his car and drives from his father's mansion on the outskirts of th
The Millionaire´s Enigma 2. The sexy millionaire
He mentally reviews if he made any overpayments, but it's impossible. He hasn't used that card, and his cell phone is password-protected. Furthermore, he checks the details of the bank transactions and realizes that the money has been transferred to an account belonging to his brother.It had been stolen by him. Somehow he hacked his phone, which wouldn't be too difficult, since it is old technology. He leaves the bank cursing his brother and then thinks of a way to get money back. Eleanor's voice echoes in his head, so he calls her.The day passes slowly, Arya keeps thinking about it as she walks back to the clinic. Would she have what it takes to be a mother at such a young age?The need was definitely greater than her fears, she would have to face them if necessary. When she arrives at the clinic, she goes straight to the assistant. She informs her that her mother had a heart attack and had been taken to intensive care.“The doctor will see you once you come out of surgery and expla
The Millionaire´s Enigma 3. Decisive moment
Neither says anything until they reach the parking lot of a tall building down the same street.“This is my house,” he informs as they get off. “Well, one of these floors is mine.”Ayden walks away from her without invading her personal space, and she out of fear of him doesn't approach either.They enter the private elevator and arrive at Ayden's pent house.“Come in, sit down, and I'll get you some water,” he says without looking at her. “You've had enough to drink.”The fact that she threw those two drinks in his face is not lost on him. She makes a mental note that he doesn't like her drinking.“I thought you wanted me to bugger off,” she mutters in a thread of a voice, Arya, as he sets the glass of water in front of her and sits down on the far armchair.“I wanted to, but Daniel has told me that these proceedings can take months” she clarifies as if that bothers him. “I'll be honest with you, I need a child, but without my father knowing it's by surrogate. He needs to know it's mi
The Millionaire´s Enigma 4. Transitions, rules and confessions
Ayden had spoken to her lawyer about going through the whole surrogacy process. Never in her life had she imagined that she would have to do something like this to get the family business. The only thing she was missing and not proud of was having to explain to her father.“Good morning, father,” he greeted as he entered his office.Gerard Emory, was already waiting, sitting in front of his desk with a cigar in his mouth and a cup of coffee in his hand.“What's good? Can't you see the fucking weather?” He points to the gray sky from his office. I didn't expect it to be sunny, but at least it wasn't cloudy.“Have you been watching the weather again?” asks Ayden, sitting down across from him.“What I see or don't see is of no importance to you, you know what does matter?”Ayden would like to roll his eyes at his father's comment and question, but he holds back. Doing something like that would mean a reprimand. Gerard was very strict with his children and whoever else.“May the Yankees wi
The Millionaire´s Enigma 5. What is not planned
Arya went over Ayden's rules, underlining the ones that seemed excessive and making notes on some of them. She knew there were things she had to abide by, like not eating raw seafood, or sushi. She loved sushi, and it was something she would miss.Likewise, she spares no thought to leave the room, this one has its bathroom, so she showers before going to sleep. A message on her phone comes in just as she gets ready to lie down.Ayden_ 11:23 p.m.Are you awake?The young woman rolls her eyes and with a towel on her head and the same clothes she was wearing leaves the room searching for the millionaire.“Here I am,” she warns aloud as she steps out into the hallway.The whole house lies in darkness except for a faint light coming from one room. The door to this one opens and out steps Ayden in sweatpants, shirtless and barefoot.Arya has to make sure to keep her mouth shut when she notices how beautiful his body is. Well-worked biceps and belly are some of the things she notices. She fee
The Millionaire´s Enigma 6. The Call
“This is the worst dinner I've ever been to” were the words Ayden said as soon as he left his father's house. Arya feels that this has been because of her, and even as she gets into the car, she feels her heart getting smaller and smaller. “Everything all right,” Ayden asks as he enters her apartment. The young woman looks at him distressed, but says no more. She just stares at his perfect face, carved by the gods of Olympus. He's so fucking handsome; it makes her scorn hurt all the more. “Yes, goodnight,” she finally says goodnight and advances to her room. “Wait, I know there's something wrong with you, you've been dodgy and looking like a dying animal.” the Adonis throws in her face. Arya takes a breath as her mind and mood are not connected to her strength. “Nothing, I'm just tired,” she replies and tries to leave again. “I told you to wait,” Ayden growls with a distinctly annoyed tone in his voice. “For what!!! I don't understand what you have against me. I will be the mo
The Millionaire´s Enigma 7. Truths that hurt
Arya wonders how Ayden will see to it that her brother does not find her. Two days had passed since that first call, and she doesn't know how to talk to her benefactor without upsetting him. He has been “resting”, eating and walking around the house like a stray cat. In the afternoons, she goes for a short walk to Central Park and returns just before he gets back. The doctor asked that they return on the third day when his period started and they did. During the visit, the doctor asked Ayden for a sample of his semen. The latter almost choked when she told him that there were graphic magazines or a television with access to adult videos in the room. Arya blushed just thinking that on the other side of that room, Ayden would be masturbating. “You have nothing to worry about, that cubicle is soundproof and will have everything you need if necessary,” the doctor explained, opening the door for him to pass through. Ayden looks quickly from there to Arya, who, awakening her curiosity,
The Millionaire´s Enigma 8. Naked
Since that day, they had not heard from Mark or Gerard's order. On the one hand, Arya wanted peace and quiet, she had tried to keep the party peaceful with Ayden. He had decided to have breakfast with her, after each hormone injection.He had to make sure she was healthy, the day of the insemination had come and they were both nervous. Likewise, he had had to re-sample to make sure the most feasible sperm were selected.“Everything will be fine, you have nothing to worry about,” assures the doctor, who has Arya already on the gurney with her legs spread wide open. “You will feel only slight discomfort, but it will pass.”Arya nods, she is nervous, her hands are shaking, and she mentally prays to heaven that everything will be all right. She hadn't talked to Ayden about what would happen in case she couldn't get pregnant, would she have to pay back all the money or just a part of it? After all, her mother was out of danger.She had managed to get through to her and although Mirella woul
