All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Red: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I don't think I've ever been more scared in my life than I was at that moment. I was still standing, locked in the four walls of the bathroom. My hands shook and avoided the door knob like a plague. Knowing she was standing, they were standing just outside the door, waiting for me wasn't comforting. I stared at the two faint black stripes. According to the pack, two lines mean positive. It felt like a bucket of iced water had been poured on my face and yet, I felt hot all over. My feet remained rooted to the ground, I couldn’t move.How?. How did this happen? I didn't understand. I was confused. He always used protection, always. So, why? Why did this happen? Why was the universe so against me? I jumped at the sudden bang of the door. "Are you planning on spending the whole evening there?" came Amelia's irritable voice from the other side of the door. “If you don’t fucking come out of there in five seconds, I’ll have the door broken down and your wages will be used to fi

"Hello there, what would you like to have today?" I said to the man standing at the other end of the counter, trying to keep a smile on my face and not speak with a monotone voice. It was hard, trust me. Especially when over half of the population of male customers at ‘Gina’s Cafe’ gets are perverted jerks. "Er, actually I was hoping I could um ask you a question if you don't mind." He said. I eyed him warily wondering what it was that he wanted to ask me. Surely he would be smart enough to not ask me anything inappropriate because that would demand me to call Gabriel—the security man to kick him out. But then again, taking a careful look at him made me think that he wasn't the type to ask inappropriate questions. I had noticed him since he walked in with his friend about ten minutes ago. I had been wondering why they decided to sit instead and not order their coffee. I mean it wasn't even a busy morning. There were about eight customers in the shop, excluding them. He was dresse

I know most people will find it weird that I had only just met this man and yet, I openly confessed about my affair with my boss's husband a piece of information that even Regina couldn't get out of me (she had once asked who the father of my child was, a question to which I'd given no answer to). I don't know what it was about him exactly but I thought he could ask me any question and I would answer. Any questions whatsoever. He had the kind of face, the kind of aura that you just couldn't lie 'cause he'd know you were lying, no matter how much of a good liar you are. He looked like the kind of person you could tell anything and he wouldn't judge you for it. "Seeing as you are here must mean he didn't assume responsibility for his actions." It wasn't a question but I still decided to ask anyways. "No," I said memories of that night flooding back into my mind. I'd promised myself that I would forget him but how could I, when I was carrying a part of him? How could I when the wor

“Can you really stop staring at me like that?” I said just as I placed his cup on the table. I didn’t dare to look up and meet his eyes because those green orbs of him terrified me. It was another morning and Aziel Walker was one of the first customers to walk into the shop. And just like every morning, I had to be the one to take his coffee to him because Alex couldn’t make it in on time. And just like he did the previous day, he was staring at me like I had some extra features on my face that no other person has. “Does that make you uncomfortable?” He asked, his gaze burning the side of my face. “Yes, so please stop.” “I will if you agree to work for me.” He said like that was supposed to change anything. A frown found its way to my face. “I thought I told you my answer to that already. I’m not interested. You should find someone else.” I was expecting him to say something like persist that he wasn’t going to have it any other way and that I have to work for him but he didn’t

“Sorry I didn’t—” I had just started to say to the person I bumped into when I turned around an aisle but when I looked up, the rest of my words died in my throat. “Hera!” Nina shrieked forgetting that she was in a grocery store and although that got her a lot of people to turn their heads but she didn’t look like she cared. “Oh, my God! I can’t believe I’m running into you like this!” She screamed so loud that I almost covered my ears with my hands. I didn’t even know what to say. I just stood there stupidly watching how excited she was to see me. I almost turned back to see if there was someone behind me she was beaming at. She threw her arms around me, hugging me so tight to her chest while my arms lay limp beside me, awkwardly. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t as if I wasn’t happy to see her, it was just that I was too stunned by our sudden meeting to say anything or think of anything. I mean it had been over two months since I had to leave Amelia’s house and I just never thought I
