All Chapters of A SILENT BRIDE FOR THE BILLIONAIRE: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

JENNY POVMonica left my mother behind, with Grace, the maid, for services in the house. The next day, I woke as if with no energy; my body felt heavy and completely pregnant. "Honey," I called, sweet and gentle, hoping that Adrian would respond. But there was only silence. I waited for a moment expecting him to walk into the bedroom, but nothing.Sighing, I arise and manage to put all my strength into moving toward the kitchen. The instant Grace saw me walk through, she seemed to stop whatever the action was that she was engaged in and smiled, saying "Good morning, ma'am." In that voice, there was this plural, respectful and welcoming tone. I returned the gesture but instinctively put my hands on my huge tummy to rub it while feeling kicks from the baby inside. "Good morning, dear," I added just to sound a little more cheerful than I really felt.It was an exceptionally warm and inviting room that within one breath, would include coffee brewing. I found my usual place on the table an

JENNY POVWe strolled to the living room and there, illuminated by the soft glow of the lights illuminating the path from the entrance, we found Grace (or so she claimed) standing with head downcast, turning eyes to the floor in a gesture of abandonment and with shoulders slumped in an act of discomfiture. "Good day, sir and ma'am," she addressed, her whisper almost inaudible, trembling slightly as she spoke, the words formed by hardly fluttering lips."Yea, Grace," he replied in a neutral tone, without a discernible expression, right when we sat together, as I was sitting on him, arms wrapped around me while holding me to himself, a hand softly placed on my stomach. Adrian then turned to Scarlett, his eyes narrowing as he studied her with a furrowed, working overtime with his brain to decode whatever she was ruminating upon."Grace, who are you?" he asked in a commanding tone that seemed to challenge such pronouncement, laced with some measure of skepticism, his tone even dripping wi

JENNY POVFurious banging outside sounded louder and louder as Grace wrapped her fists against the door. It was as if each strike manifested her anger physically through the evening air. "My love, please take it easy," Jenny said hardly above a whisper, turning to me and causing me concern. Concerned, Anna's eyes pleaded with mine; she seemed to search for tranquility amid a brewing storm."Adrian said to me, 'My love, I need to speak some sense into Grace'." Adrian, in his authoritative yet soothing voice, said, "Adrian said to me with a much softer voice: 'My love, I need to speak some sense into Grace.'"Not to say another word, Adrian walked toward the gate, determined and purposeful in his steps. Closely followed by me, heart banging loud in my ears, like the drums in a primitive ritual. Grace was truly filled with rage, and tension. My own simmering emotions almost boiled to the surface, ready to erupt at any moment.And again the sound of her beating grew louder; it insisted, a

JENNY POVNow we were journeying towards the hospital, the contractions growing more intense each moment. Suddenly we heard a loud sound burst outside our car-this sound was the jarring and very unsettling "boarrrr." The noise seemed to be emanating from our car, and before we could even collect our thoughts, the startled vehicle came to a sudden halt. I was still where I was when contraction hit me again, the pain so incredible that I felt that it was as if my whole body were being squeezed in a vice, coupled with the sharp stabbing sensation that started from my lower back to my abdomen and made it difficult to breathe.Adrian emerged quickly from the car, his worried face no doubt made worse by the inexplicable stop. He proceeded to walk around to the front of the automobile, eyes busy searching the dashboard and engine. "What's wrong?" I began straining the voice with anxiety and catching my breath between contractions. Clearly conveyed into my heartbeat was anxiety; uncertainty a

JENNY POVThe end of the childbirth process was when the nurses started the clean-up process. But this was done very calmly, smooth and soothing movements. Removing the monitoring equipment and IV from my veins was done very carefully not to hurt me even a bit. One nurse assisted me to change into a comfortable gown while the other helped in cleaning and sanitizing the place.The nurse paired with the fact that they had warm blankets for a short time, finally helping me get all settled into a cozy position so that I could focus on bonding with my baby instead of all the discomfort that was right now.In everything, I was assured by the touch and tongue of a lovely nurse. They narrated each step as they went along so that I was not in the dark as to what was happening. All inquiries were answered, displaying both professional demeanor and compassionate understanding as they assisted me in this special moment.The nurse so gently patronized me as they said "All cleaned up and comfortabl
