The Billionaire's Baby Mama のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

BECK-PRESENTIf I am to be honest with myself, the past week has been a total delight. In the eight days that Beth has been in my apartment, I've been having this feeling of contentment. Even though I rarely get to see her because of my work schedule, evidence of her presence in the house abounds.Two nights ago, I found a steamy romance novel beside the hot tub. Some other time, it was her laptop on the kitchen counter. My kitchen has also been getting frequent use, and it is always a delight to come home to a home-cooked meal. Did I mention that she has packed me lunch twice already?Things changed between us that rainy day, I am sure of it. When we run into each other, our looks have been as heated as the few conversations we have had. I've found that she is very smart and I like to pick her brain when I can; especially since she helped me acquire a property. Things have been going well for us.This is why I am surprised to read the mail displayed in front of me:‘On behalf of my c

BETH- PRESENTWhat is going on? How did we go from there to where we are now? My skeptical heart warns me that this is just a diversion tactic, that he is doing this to take my mind off my anger; and I hate him for it. Unfortunately, my lady parts have other ideas, they don't mind. They want us to go right back to where we stopped when Sofia and Alex interrupted.My body trembles when he blows softly on the back of my neck. Do I have such little control over my libido? I don’t want this, I won't allow him to win. So why is my body sagging against his? Why have I resumed the nasty habit of sniffing him? But he smells delicious! If I could capture his essence and sell it as a fragrance, I'd be a millionaire!What am I thinking, I resume my struggle which only succeeds in rubbing me against his erection. He inhales sharply.“Do you wanna play?” He whispers into my ear.Nope. The remnants of my logic debates. If you allow him to distract you this time, you would never win any argument wit

BETH- PRESENTBeck unceremoniously reminded me this morning that tonight is his father’s ‘not so surprise party’; like my nerves would let me forget about it. His birthday is in two days, so they hope that he wouldn’t be expecting it today; especially because it is a working day.I have been avoiding Beck since our scene in his home office; not because I am ashamed of my actions or anything, but because Emma and I have been working tirelessly to build a case against him. For his part, he mostly acts as if I am not there and I am thankful for small miracles. So I am a little surprised when he approaches me while looking good enough to eat in his black three-piece suit, that my heart skips a beat.The last thing I want is to be in the same room with Beck’s family who mostly thinks the worst of me. No doubt Teresa will be there, I am not ready to face her, all things considered. Worse, Alex will not be there. Emma wants me to act naturally like nothing is going on, so I have to attend wh

BETH- PRESENTWhat a chore! I have smiled so much tonight, my face hurts. I can’t believe Beck abandoned me to go dance with Teresa. I can; but how could he! Domenico is being a good sport; I assumed he would lay into me like I can see he is itching to do, the minute he saw me. But he doesn’t and I can’t help but think it has something to do with Mr. Vaughn Pierce who is still glaring at me.“So tell me, Elisabeth, how are you finding the party?” The man with the thick French accent asks.“I’m having the time of my life, sir,” I reply with dry humor. Domenico’s eyes settle on me briefly and then return to the argument he had been having.“I bet you are.” Mr. Vaughn Pierce chips in, voice dripping with condescension. “You must feel like Cinderella at the ball.”“Hardly sir.” I fire back, unwilling to let him walk all over me, “this isn’t my first rodeo. Although sir, I must admit that I am surprised that you know your Disney princesses. I assume you spend a lot of time indulging your d

BETH- PRESENTWomb for hire! Is that how low these people think of me? I’m done! Done putting up with this foolishness. All night, judgmental eyes followed me but did I complain? No! I took it like a champ; but no more! I’m done trying to change the opinion these people have about me; people that it is unlikely I would come across after today.I silently fume while I scrub the vileness of Bastien off my hands in the restroom. How did my life come to this? I would gladly trade this nightmare for a lifetime of taunts from Mia and Stacy, at least I know that they acted out of jealousy.When my hands begin to shrivel, I reluctantly dry them and walk out of the restroom only to bump into none other than Alessia.“Pardon me.” I apologise, trying to walk around her, but she grabs my sleeve instead. My stomach churns at the memory of the last time a woman from their world accosted me in the restroom, but I square my shoulders instead and face her. God, I cannot stomach any more drama tonight;
