All Chapters of THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

||Natalia's POV||My emotions were on the verge of exploding but somehow, I kept them all together.I was discharged from the hospital the next day and a couple of hours after that, I was being prepared for the engagement party my father and his team had organized to serve both as a conference to clear the air and also announced the news to the world.If I said I wasn't nervous, then I was the biggest liar in the world.My hands were sweaty and my heart jolted at every little sound. It was almost like I had been told the world would end and every sound was the signal that was needed for everything to fall."Would you prefer the silver or the gold earrings, Miss Natalia?" The stylist asked and without even bothering to look at the jewelry, I pointed at the first."Good choice," she chirped. "The gold definitely makes your skin glow!"She carefully placed the earrings into my ears and took a moment to take it all in. "Oh my God, I can't wait for the big wedding day!"Again, I barely eve

||Wesley's POV||The statement and the engagement news was accepted widely by everyone.The scandal was somehow fading from the news outlet, but I couldn't stop feeling uneasy.My heart was always racing like there was a new problem just waiting to jump at me.I kept checking the calendar, silently waiting for the days to go by faster, so that the weekend could come and Natalia would finally be mine.I have wanted her for so long and now that the wish was so close to happening, it felt too good to be true.And Natalia's feelings towards me weren't exactly very helpful. Being around her was like walking on shells.She seemed to be affected by me and even though I could attribute it to her little confession of liking me, I still couldn't erase the fact that she restrained herself around me.This left me wondering if she wanted me as much as I wanted her... Or she was serious about this whole contract thing.I wished I could speak to someone— Lila maybe. But each time I picked up my phon

||Wesley's POV||"What is the meaning of this?!" I snapped as soon as I returned from the empty hallway. "Natalia probably has the wrongest ideas and it's all because of you!"My father simply relaxed in his bed and Lila couldn't even raise her head from the ground.My heart was practically flying with emotions but I still held on to some amount of sanity. Yet none of them were ready to give me an explanation."Are you two even listening to me?"My father finally signed. "I think you and Lila need to talk—""Well, I am talking!" I cut in, my vision flashing red with anger. "I am the one standing here confused about what you blurted out! What baby? What the fuck is going on?"At this point, I didn't even care that I was raising my voice at a hospital. I just needed to get to the bottom of things as fast as possible."Lila, speak to Wesley. Tell him all that you told me," My father said, turning his attention to her."I— I am pregnant," She stuttered, something she barely ever did.The

Chapter 47: ||Natalia's POV||"What?" I cried out in even more disgust. "How could you even ask her to do that?""Because I don't want her!" He countered.Silence filled the room as his words only threw my head into further shock, anger and confusion.Saying I felt disgusted was an understatement. And the worst part was, I couldn't get out of this.I was somehow stuck with another disgusting Brooks.But one thing was different— this time around, it was going to be on my terms."You don't want to withdraw from the merger, do you?" I asked, my voice suddenly calmed."No, I don't want to." He replied and I smiled, slowly coming to sit opposite him.I wasn't much of a fan of Lila. But she was a woman and I would forever support a woman in need."Okay, if that's how it is... here is how we would work this out," I said, joining my hands together. "We are going to get married this weekend as planned and Lila will move in with us. She will have that child and you will take care of them."His

Chapter 49: ||Natalia's POV|| The word, Haven Crest Clinic, kept echoing in my head, sending tremors of panic through me.How could we have used the same clinic without even realizing it? What if I had used his sperm? What if—Oh my God!My head became so hot with overwhelming thoughts, I barely registered what he was saying to me.I was stuck at the part where he mentioned that clinic... And fear clutched me.If I somehow used his sperm, then things were going to get really bad. I couldn't continue with this..."I need to leave," I suddenly blurted, getting to my feet.Wesley frowned and got up too. "Why? You don't believe me?""N—no, it's not that..." I stuttered, still battling with my own thoughts. "I just need to leave..."I grabbed my purse and started stumbling away when his next words stopped my legs, right there."You are worried you used my sperm didn't you?"A thunder went off inside of me as I turned to face him. "What did you say?"Rather than give me a straight reply, o
