CHAPTER 11Song for the chapter: Westlife ft Mariah Carey///// Against all oddsVanessa's POV “Congratulations Mr Amaan, it's positive” the doctor congratulated Richard and I was forced to smile. Truthfully I was hoping it was negative, I can't imagine myself carrying this man's baby in my womb for nine months. I mean 9 solid months.Leaving the doctor's office, Richard had this huge smile on his face that’s making me question a lot of things right now because that devil, never smiled.I was confused, sad and angry. Angry at myself for agreeing to this, angry at my father for having a hole in his heart, angry at the universe for bringing someone like Richard into my life.We got into his car and he brought out his cheque book. After writing whatever gibberish on it, he stretched it to me and when I checked it , it was a whopping one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.He actually did as he said. The fact that we're both acting civil towards each other was a surprise to me.After dropp

Richard’s POV Having pulled her into my hands, I felt her arms wrapped around me in a tight embrace as I tried to figure out how I got here.I never had the intention of getting intimate with Vanessa.It’s just a hug, chill out big man.My body was starting to respond to just how her body fit perfectly into mine and I couldn’t get to wrap my head around it. My hormones were running wild and I’m currently imagining the things I could do to this tiny body right now.I gently removed her from my body before my dick think for me and held her face up to wipe off her tears with the back of my hand.I led her to one of the sofas facing her kitchen directly and sat her down there. Kneeling before her, I looked up to her face and smiled at her. I could swear something happened to me when she smiled back. I just can’t explain the feelings.“Why didn’t you told me my mom invited you to her restaurant?” I went into the kitchen to fix her something to eat.“It doesn’t matter, it happened a long ti

Vanessa’s POV "Good morning Nancy, Drake, Kelvin, Liza and finally good morning Michael" I greeted everyone as I entered into the restaurant to resume for the day's work. It's been two months since I walked into the restaurant looking for a job and fortunately enough that I got one.Even though the pregnancy was starting to show, it was still a little bump that can be pass for normal. Everyone had been nice enough to work with except for Nancy, there's always a witch in the castle, right? I'm not all that surprised about her behavior, I've been with people like her in the past."Good morning, Essa" they all chorused back. I got the name Essa two days after I started working here, they were all complaining about how Vanessa was too long for them to pronounce, therefore decided to shorten the name to Essa."See me in my office with the account book within ten minutes, I need to clear somethings out" Michael instructed before going into his office without waiting for my response.I guess

Vanessa's POV"Good morning, Vanessa" It has been two days since I moved into Richard's luxurious apartment that was gracious enough to have a jacuzzi and a swimming pool just at the backyard of the house. The. Inner view was stunning. It left me speechless after I saw the house for the first time."Hope your night was perfect?" I looked at him weirdly before dropping my bag on the table that was in the kitchen."More like you wish I died in my sleep, right?" He places the coffee mug that was in his hand on the table and shrugged."I'm not that evil, Vanessa""Says the man who manipulated me into signing a contract and still use every opportunity he gets to blame me for signing the stupid contract" I knew bringing up that topic will cause n early morning ruckus but I needed him to know that I will always be angry at him."Are we going down that lane this morning? It's Monday for Christ sake Vanessa and even though you behaved as if I didn't exist throughout the whole weekend, can't we

Vanessa's POV"Let me help you with your seat belt, I know you're too local to handle something like this" Richard mocked with an evil smirk on his face.After staying at his house for what seemed like years even though it's been for three months, I've tried my best to ignore his wrath and mad attitude.I've also learned to warm up to him, understand him for who he really us but not accept the mad attitude in him.We never mentioned what happened that night, both of us pretended it never happened and moved on."This is your first time in a plane, right?" He asked. We are currently on our way to his country as per the request from his father."If your brain had been working instead of mocking me, you'll know that I didn't fly or crawl all the way from the Philippines" I retreated into my space to ignore him for the rest of the flight."Little Miss Smarty pants, you could have explained in clear words""I'm too tired for your troubles today and that doesn't mean we won't talk about the
