All Chapters of Carrying the Don's Baby: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Congratulations, Miss Clarks. You are three weeks pregnant.” My lips fell apart. No. What on earth did I just hear? I fell back on the cushioned seat when the realization slowly dawned on me. I’ve been feeling bad lately and my period got delayed for more than a week now which never happened before. I fainted while I was in a café and the people called for ambulance which brought me to the hospital. I thought it was just fatigue. While walking in the hospital’s corridor, the unsettling feeling in my gut worsened when I remember my dad. My face contorted as I imagined what his reaction would be once he discovered I’m pregnant. And the fact that I don’t have a boyfriend makes it even worse! I sucked in my breath when I recalled what happened three weeks ago. Dad and I argued because he was forcing me to go on a blind date with his business friend’s son. I refused and went to a high-end bar with my friends, but I got wasted and met a random handsome stranger whom I spent the nig

Flashback... I walk into the bar filled with colorful smokes, people chattering, loud music that dominates the atmosphere and oh! It's Cheap thrills by Sia that is being played in the background. I looked around and saw a woman crying in the corner, a group of men and women laughing, heavy drinkers and guys among my age. I giggled as I rest my hands on the cold counter table of this bar. I planned to have a drink of two or more and as the night goes on, I'll be more comfortable and intoxicated. I'll let the noise of this place wash the pain away! Why am I even here? Well, I'm giving myself a chance to cry, a good cry to forget Blake's betrayal. My damn ex boyfriend who betrayed me. How dare he cheat on me! Is it because I can’t give him his needs as a man? He had sex with another girl and he actually sent the video to me? What did he think? That he is the only man in the world? How narrow-minded. I drank the last glass of tequila and asked for another. It's time for me to move on, h

I cried the whole night until I was out of tears. Dad put a lot of security all over the mansion and my every move was monitored. There was even a CCTV installed in my room which forced to me go to the bathroom every time I need to change. I felt suffocated. The house that was once my comfort zone felt like a cage to me now. I hoped Dad was just threatening me when he said my wedding with Peyton would happen in a week, but when the wedding organizer came the next day, I figured he wasn’t kidding. He is really marrying me off to a man I haven’t even spent a whole day with. “I know you don’t want to marry me, but I know your situation, Lily. Once your baby bump starts to be visible, people will talk. It will ruin your father’s reputation and will affect the business. My family owes your father so I can’t say no to him,” Peyton said when he joined us during dinner so we can talk about our wedding. I was silent the whole time so he followed me to my room so we can talk privately. “Do y

“Let’s talk privately,” I said. My knees are still wobbly and my nape is covered with cold sweat. I’m still nervous but I had to make things clear to this man. However, I can’t speak freely with many ears listening to us. “Follow me,” he said and walked out of the church. I followed him while holding the sides of my long wedding dress to prevent myself from falling. I heard Dad call me but I didn’t listen. Outside the church, a sleek black car awaited. The bulky man with glasses I remembered to be his driver opened the backseat door. “Where are you taking my daughter, Mr. Moriarty?” I heard Dad’s voice from behind but instead of turning around, I went inside the car. I know I might be dealing with someone dangerous, but when a door opens for you after being locked for a long time, it’s hard to just stay in your position. I’m not sure if the marriage this man is offering is a bluff or not, I don’t want to marry him either, but at the moment I just want to get away. “I assure you

Edmund got me a make up artist and hair stylist to assist me.I'm getting ready for our wedding which is making me anxious. I just laughed at Edmund when he said we were getting married today because I thought he was joking but here it is and it's true. But then, he’s filthy rich and almost everything is possible with money.Wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, my hair was braided in a classy updo.I smiled in front of the mirror after the make-up artist and hair stylist did a good job.Finally, I don't have to act like other people."Are you done?"I flinched when I felt Edmund’s lips on my neck.I had a lot of things going in my mind so I didn’t notice him entering the dressing room.I could feel his chest against my back and his lips playing on the sensitive part of my neck."Hmm... you smell good. Are you ready?"I nodded in surprise after he planted an fleeting kiss on my lips.What?"Come on then."I still felt like I was floating as we walked down the stairs of the hotel’s
