Pregnant with the Billionaire Enemy's Child のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

RAFAEL“What happened?” Hernandez’s voice snapped me out of the thoughts I was having in the car.He was standing in the living room and I wondered what he was doing here for a brief second but then that was how he always was, popping in without prior announcement. It was obvious he wanted to know what was going on and what had happened at lunch but then I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to think of that now.For some strange reason, the only thought that was in my mind was the thought of her. It was the only thing I could think of throughout the whole car ride here. I felt this deep urge to talk to her ever since she ran out of the restaurant. It was very obvious that the whole conversation and scene had gotten to her deeply. For the first time ever, I had seen her cry and I had no idea how to feel about that.There was a part of me which felt anger at myself for even being this concerned about her. The fact that I found myself stealing glances at her all through the ride and wanti

ATHENAI had tried my best to remove my mind from everything and not think about it but it felt like the more I tried to do this, the more I thought about it. I hated the fact that all of this was bothering me so much, it was not fair to me because it honestly didn’t concern me. This war or whatever was going on between Rafael and my father was between them, I didn’t see the need why I was being dragged into the matter. It made no sense to me at all.My anger had reached an all time high and it was majorly directed at Rafael. At first I had thought he cared about me which was why we were together. Now finding out that every single thing from the beginning had been a lie was proving too much for me to bear. It had not yet been confirmed by him if he knew who I was when we met and had sex but it was safe to assume he did.All of this was my fault at the end of the day. I was the one who had allowed him in and I was the one who was stupid enough to get pregnant for a stranger. A stranger

Hermes was parading around the whole room as he tried to keep his nerves in check. The meeting with the investors was about to start and he already knew that this particular meeting was going to be quite a tough one. His reemergence into society had come with a lot of heavy costs, costs which he had not completely thought out and now had to bear the consequences.When he had taken his break, he had cut off a lot of people including a lot of the investors. He had disappeared without reaching out to them, he had only told them he was going away for a couple of months for a bit to conduct a solo research which would in turn help the business grow more. He couldn’t possibly tell them that he was running away because he had gotten a tip that people were after him. There was no way in hell the investors would keep up their trust in him if they knew there was any heat on him at all, given how sensitive the work which they were involved in was.These men which he worked for were very dangerou

Hermes was seated back in the same restaurant sipping a cup of tea which he paired with a croissant. The combination went so well and it was one of the things that he missed so much about the restaurant. There was no way he was going to just cancel it because of what had happened but this time he was going to take more precautions to ensure such stuff didn’t happen again.When Rafael had reached back to him the previous day to agree that they indeed needed to meet up and talk he had been very skeptical about it.“Why the sudden change of heart?” Hermes had asked,“I just want to give you a chance to say whatever it is you want to say. I am not going to have it be written that Rafael Hall did not show enough reason.”The conversation between them had made Hermes crack a smile as he realized that Rafael was a lot like him. They might be on opposite sides right now but Hermes could already imagine the havoc they would have wreaked together if Rafael had not managed to escape all those ye

ATHENAThe restaurant I chose was one which I was quite familiar with already, I really enjoyed their food and everything which was one of the reasons why I went there.The guards stood in a corner of the room while I ate, it was obvious that this was clearly Rafael’s instructions. I bet he told them not to let me out of their sight the whole day. This brought a smile to my face, if there was something I liked more than anything, it was a challenge.I finished my food and got up to head to the restroom. One of the guards followed after me immediately and I stopped him right as I got to the door.“What are you doing?” I asked,“I am very sorry ma’am but we are under very clear instructions not to let you out of our sight.” He said,“I see that actually but come on, are you really going to follow me to use the restroom?” I asked, “Will your boss really be comfortable with that?”The man looked extremely embarrassed as he thought about it and I laughed.“Don’t worry I won’t be too long,”
