Lahat ng Kabanata ng Hacker for the Billionaire Tech Daddy: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Amelia was immediately sorry she said anything to Alex. The angry look on his face made her mouth go dry. "She said that? Those were her exact words.""Yes," Amelia said, now sorry that she told Alex about the encounter with Tory. Amelia should have just brushed it off. She wasn't in a romantic relationship with Alex. She was sleeping with him and having his baby. Some part of her must want more, even knowing that Tory was right. She wasn't his type.Alex ran his hands through his hair. "I'm sorry. I'll take care of this.""There's nothing to take care of.""She needs to stay away from you. I won't have you upset."It was Amelia's turn to squeeze Alex's hands. "I shouldn't have let it affect me.""It's not your fault, Amelia. Don't downplay it. Tory needs to know that she can't get away with this."Alex rose."What are you going to do Alex?" Amelia asked. She didn't want him to get in any trouble."I'm going to see her. Don't wait for dinner for me."Alex left and Amelia rushed into

The household staff greeted Amelia when she returned from the hospital. Word must have gotten around the house. She was happy the baby was fine. The doctor suggested a day or two of rest and to avoid stressful situations. It was mid-morning."I'm going to shower and go to work," Isabel said as they were just inside the door. "Do you need anything before I go?"Amelia could only marvel at the change in Isabel. She hoped it was truly a transformation and that it would stay. It couldn't hurt to have Isabel as a friend. "I think I'll be fine. Thanks."Alex hadn't left her side except to get the car when she was leaving the hospital. Isabel nodded and left them. Amelia studied Alex. "What happened there?""I just assured her that she was loved," Alex said. As if that needed no other explanation. Maybe that was all Isabel needed. Wasn't that all anyone needed? To know that they are loved. Amelia could use the same things, but Alex's actions said a lot. He'd taken her to the hospital. She

Kalia's pronouncement gave Amelia a lot to think about. Was she in love with Alex? So quickly. Maybe it was just pregnancy hormones. If she was falling in love with him, she was going to get hurt."Are you okay?" Alex asked as he climbed into the car at the end of the day. "How did your lunch with Kalia go?""It was good to catch up with her.""You look concerned about something."It had been a long day and Amelia didn't want to get into a serious conversation right now so she didn't ask. "No, I'm fine.""Okay. I've been doing some thinking."The driver pulled out of the lot and onto the highway. Amelia glanced out the window and then back to Alex. "About what specifically? I bet you think about many things every single day. You do run a company."He sighed. "I mean about us."Great. They were going to have this conversation. Today. After Kalia insisted that Amelia was in love with Alex. This might be too much right now. Then again maybe it was better to get this over with. If they cl

Alex stared out his window his heart beating rapidly. Frustration fisted his hands and he tried to loosen them when they hurt. A few weeks ago, his life had been in order. He had his house, his daughter, and his company. Everything was in order. One night with a beautiful young woman seemed to change all that. Before today he would have said that was a good thing. Today he wasn't so sure.That was why he jumped a little when Madge entered his office. He didn't know what else could go wrong. They were weeks out from the game launch and everything was on track. "Henrik said he still hasn't found the hacker," Madge said. "He can't do much without Amelia."Alex swiveled his chair to look at her. "Guess he wasn't man enough to come up and tell me himself?""I took the information because I know how much of a grumpy bear you're being today. He didn't need your wrath.""And you're willing to take it for him?" Alex asked. She waved a hand. "You don't scare me, Alex Hillen."He tented his h

Alex knew this visit was long overdue. If the paparazzi that sometimes followed him had ever gotten a picture of him with Amelia, his mother would have been angry at him. Rightly so. They talked once a week and he hadn't get mentioned Amelia's presence. Isabel probably hadn't either which was good.This was a conversation best had in person.He paused on the front stoop of his mother's townhouse. She was in the middle of a senior living facility. She'd given up her home for more amenities. The door was painted purple and it made him smile whenever he saw it. She'd lobbied her Homeowner's Association to get it that color and won. His mother usually got what she wanted. He was happy he'd moved her to America after he had made it big in hockey. She'd preached family and he had learned well. That's why he'd hired his brother and his cousins in his company. Plus, he knew he could trust them.He rapped lightly on the door. It swung open. "I wondered when you were going to knock," Gwen Hi
