All Chapters of Billionaire's Secret Baby : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Amelia spent the rest of the evening wandering up and down her room devising a perfect scheme not to spill the beans out while still keeping tabs on Stephan.She was aware that one mistake could cause everything she had dedicated herself to unravel. As the night progressed, she felt a disturbing feeling of unease gradually enveloping her, she could feel her airways get clogged and suffocating.She glanced at her watch and noticed it was way after midnight, still, she was not able to sleep. Moments later she was ready to give up any hope of having a restful night when a notification popped on her phone coming from Stephan. She stared at the message in unbelief, rereading it to understand that she was not dreaming. It was his offer of lunch tomorrow in his penthouse.Typically, she would be out there dancing all happy because she was the one who had been reaching out to Stephan but now that she had a private investigator who was compromised she has been feeling uneasy.Her mind raced a

Ruby could feel her heart racing at the thought of moving in with Stephan. The idea both terrified and comforted her. She knew Stephan was doing everything out of genuine concern for their safety, but taking such a big step felt overwhelming. She was now facing the biggest choice of life as she gazed between Naomi and Stefan.The words of Naomi sustained in the air, which just made the situation seem even more taut. Initially, the fact that Stephan was proposing the idea of staying with him astounded her, but slowly his approach became logical for her. The most important thing here was Ethan’s safety, but also, their right to live their own lives and have privacy.Following a deep silence, it was Ruby who broke the maintained silence. “Stephan, I’m glad you’re here for us and want to keep us safe, but I need some solitude to think about this critically.” A big decision has to be made, and I need to be sure that this is the right one not only for Ethan but for me too. Her voice was st

“Thank you once again, Stephan, this is very generous of you” Ruby said lifting the bag slightly. Stephan simply smiled and inclined his head. Leaving the shop, Stephan’s phone rang halting their stroll. Stephan picked up the call and placed the phone on his ear listening intently to the caller on the other end. After a brief conversation, he ended the call and turned to Ruby with a furrowed brow “It seems there is an urgent matter that has come up at work, I would drop you at home before heading out” The look on his face was so disturbing. “Stephan, what’s wrong? Is everything okay at work” Ruby inquired“Yes everything is fine, nothing serious” Stephan lied looking above Ruby’s head and trying to avoid her gaze. Everything isn’t fine, the call he just received was from his security intel, and they suspect Stephan is been followed. He lied to Ruby because he didn’t want her to worry. Stephan and Ruby hurriedly went home. On arrival, Stephan dashed into his room to prepare for the

“Why is a workaholic like you at home on a weekday?” Amelia inquired. She had been so consumed by her own emotions and assumptions that she didn’t stop to think about the fact that he wasn't working.“My security team thinks it best to work from home for a while because of the stalker” Amelia felt stupid, everything she has done so far has only succeeded in bringing Ruby closer to Stephan. Because of the private investigator she set up, Ruby and Stephan have to live together and he can't even go to work so they are stuck together all day. It was like some cruel joke played on her by fate.“Where is your guest?” Amelia’s question hung in the air as she scanned the living room area.“I think she's upstairs in her room” Stephan replied with a soft tone“My regards to her,” Amelia said as she prepared to leave. She was too vulnerable to be around Stephan.“Leaving so soon? Thought you'd stay for lunch”“I’m sorry, I can’t, I have some errands to run” She lied. Stephan saw her off to the d

On their way back to Stephan's house, Ethan fell asleep in the backseat, and Ruby looked at him for a second, with warmth in her eyes as she brushed a stray lock of hair away from his face. "My parent seems to have taken a liken to you and Ethan," Stephan said in a very low voice almost like a whisper, his attention still locked on the road. When he said this, Ruby blushed and turned her face away from him to hide the grin on her swelling cheeks.When they arrived at Stephan's house, he insisted on carrying Ethan inside while Ruby gathered their belongings from the car. The silence was absolute as they comforted Ethan and tucked him in bed, reflecting on how the night turned out.As Ruby undressed and changed into her pyjamas, she could not help but count herself lucky as the unforeseen turn their evening had taken did certainly make it a night to remember. Stephan walked into the room with his guarded features giving way to a warm smile."Thank you for today,” he said earnestly.
