LEVI BANKS

If someone had told me a situation like this would arise, I wouldn't have believed it. Of all the men in the world, how could Ethan be the one responsible for Sophia's pregnancy?

My mind was reeling. It all made sense now - no wonder the in vitro fertilization Jace and I had attempted didn't work out!

Her pleas and teary eyes were enough to melt my heart but the thought that she won't be able to carry my own child secretly as I'd planned without aborting the current pregnancy was annoying…

Wait, that wasn't even the most annoying thing..

The fact that having a child for Ethan is a big threat to my inauguration is worse!!

“You are getting rid of that pregnancy, I won't allow you to keep the bastard!” my anger made me aggressive despite how badly I wanted to help her up and apologise.

“It wasn't my fault, I was only helping dad.” those words of hers wouldn't stop ringing in my ears but honestly, that d

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   A different Sophia

    ETHAN WESTON I arrived at Dad's abode that noon, looking very disturbed and panicked with my breaths so heavy like something more terrible was wrong.. Of course, I'd rushed to locate him immediately after he called, without wasting time. Sophia and my baby were the ones in question for crying out loud! And unfortunately, It took me forever to find him --- in an attic room that was the fourth location I'd searched. To make matters worse, his phone was out of reach all through the while of searching. Only the residents in heaven could tell the number of drivers and road users I'd yelled at in so much anger while driving and on getting to the last place I had in mind which turned out to be his location, there was no suitable parking space. I had to park my car under a tree that was just a stone throw away from the building and that only made me more annoyed because the ugly yellow leaves kept falling on my car, alongside the bir

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   No right to challenge

    SOPHIA LANGFORD If there was a sharp object around, Jessica could grab it and maybe, injure my baby with it by stabbing me in the belly.. Really. She was looking as cruel as that, with her eyes and other facial features screaming desperation, hatred and heartlessness. What the hell got into her.?.. A demon? Or the devil himself?.. Worst part? Levi wasn't in. She had mentioned that, just now and obviously, she wasn't wrong. I took a step backwards again, this time, my back reached the door so I could no longer move. It's funny how my initial courage suddenly left me within a blink. “Don't come closer Jess” I said, raising my hand to protect my face. My cheeks were still stinging due to her merciless hits and I couldn't help wondering why I initiated a fight I knew I couldn't finish in the very first place.. That was my biggest mistake! And now, she had locked the door by just p

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Fired!

    LEVI BANKS “You should call her back, Levi” Jace said for the millionth time that morning and just like I did the previous times, I sighed, sipping from the second round of hangover soup which the waiter brought. I drank myself to stupor last night and despite being insanely drunk, I was still conscious enough to forbid Jace from taking me home. I was definitely going to hate myself more if he did so he simply lodged me inside one of the hotel rooms while he took the one directly opposite. I woke up so late with my head making me feel like something was being pounded in it and then Sophia's call came in shortly after Jace came in with the waiter who brought me a bowl of soup.. “I can't call her back Jace Johnson.." I said, calling his name in full. “And why is that? You need to hear what she has to say at least” he tried convincing. “I'm mentally sick. She's definitely calling to inform me o

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Desperate beast

    SOPHIA LANGFORD None of Merriam Webster's words about negative feelings could explain the way I felt at that very moment.. Nothing could rival the sad feeling that there are no hopes for you to have a further relationship with the one you love even after you both reconcile. Just nothing!.. Heartbreak isn't actually the worst thing ever, rather it's hopelessness! I wasn't daft, I knew that once one's parent gives he or she a new partner, no matter the connection, it would finally lead to them having to be together for the rest of their lives. What was going to happen to me then?.. Levi and I aren't even on good terms and he hasn't come home since yesterday! Gawd.. I felt like a bowl of frustration was poured on me and added to the one I already had on ground. “She's going to help you with giving Levi a child urgently while your marriage with him continues existing" he add

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   Baby mama

    ~The next morning~ SOPHIA LANGFORD “So Levi isn't what he seems to be, yet I've been fooling myself all this while?..” One more question after that would make it the thirtieth question I'd asked myself in tears since everything happened so quickly yesterday.. I still couldn't believe it.. “I thought we...” I paused, sniffing again while the running faucet kept pouring freely on me. “I thought we both felt something for each other. I thought we could still be together again even after we separate when the contract ends. I thought I was the only woman in his life!",I lamented. The water was so cold and I was definitely going to catch the flu in no time but I wasn't even bothered. I couldn't sleep a wink last night and the headache I was feeling was more TERRIBLE than the word itself. I was traumatised.. i knew. “My life since I clocked twenty, some year

  • The billionaire’s rented bride   The murder

    ETHAN WESTON “The cops are after Mayor, I'm afraid, they might trace the crime scene to you in no time. The investigation team had been working tirelessly..” My personal guard's words rang in my ears for the umpteenth time since he uttered them to me that afternoon.. I'd instantly contacted Alfred when he gave that information, rebuking him for failing to crop out the part of the video that had now given the cops and investigation team a chance to know who was behind Xing's death.. However, Alfred swore to have done that secretly that day and now the question was.. How exactly did they know that Mayor was the one in the video? I breathed, remembering the words I'd uttered to my guard when we conversed and he kept fearing my arrest. “Arrest me as the culprit? Mayor would rather have to die. I can not go down!” ... was my reply to him and of course, I meant my words.. I'd been out all day, only to come ba
