บททั้งหมดของ BILLIONAIRE'S PREGNANT MISTRESS : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Naila. Pregnant.Despite the warmth of the summer day, an uncomfortable chill settled over my skin as I sat on the bench in the small garden just a few blocks from the apartment I shared with Toby Anetakis.I shivered even as the sun's rays warmed my tightly clenched fingers, unable to chase away the goose bumps covering my skin. Stavros wouldn't be happy about my brief disappearance. Neither would Toby once Stavros reported that I hadn't taken proper security measures. But dragging my intimidating bodyguard to my doctor's appointment hadn't been an option. Toby would have found out about my pregnancy before I had the chance to tell him myself.How would he react to the news?Despite the precautions we had taken, I was eight weeks pregnant. The only explanation I could come up with was that it had happened after he had returned from his extended business trip overseas. Toby had been insatiable.Then again so had I.Heat rushed to my cheeks as the memory of that night washed over me. H

Naila. Toby stormed back into the bedroom, the papers crushed tightly in his fist.I looked up at him through tear blurred eyes, relief flooding me for the briefest moment.Maybe he had come back to finish our conversation.Instead, his expression was colder than I had ever seen it."I want you out in thirty minutes," he said flatly.I stared at him, certain I had misheard him."W-what?""You have thirty minutes to collect your belongings before I call security to escort you out."I shot to my feet my heart lurched painfully against my ribs.How had everything fallen apart so quickly?I hadn't even told him about the baby yet."Toby, what's wrong?" I whispered desperately. "Why are you so angry with me? Is this because of how I reacted when you called me your mistress? It, it just shocked me, I thought" My voice broke."I thought I meant more to you than that.""You now have twenty eight minutes Naila, get out."His voice was emotionless, cold and detached. He lifted the crumpled pape

Toby"Her physical condition is stable," the doctor informed me. "But it's her emotional state that concerns me."I fought to keep my impatience under control.The moment I had arrived at the hospital, I had demanded answers. The staff had refused to tell me anything until I had identified myself as Naila's fiancé. It had been the fastest way to get past the endless questions and into the room where decisions were being made. I'd immediately arranged for her to be transferred to a private suite and insisted that the best specialists examine her.Now all I wanted was to see her.Instead, I was forced to listen to the doctor's report."But she hasn't been seriously hurt," I said.The doctor looked at me calmly."I didn't say that. I said her physical injuries aren't severe." I clenched my jaw."Then stop speaking in circles and tell me what I need to know."He studied me for a long moment before setting his clipboard on the desk."Miss Jameson has endured a tremendous trauma," he said q

TobyI stood in the dimly lit hospital room, watching Naila sleep as a dull ache throbbed behind my temples as I studied her peaceful face.Her chest rose and fell with each shallow breath, but even in sleep, a faint frown creased her forehead.She wasn't resting peacefully.She was still carrying the weight of whatever nightmare she had survived.Almost without thinking, I stepped closer and brushed my fingertips across her forehead, smoothing away the crease between her brows.She was still beautiful even now sleeping in that hospital bed. Her raven curls spilled across the white pillow in soft, tangled waves. They were longer than I remembered. Gone was the shorter halo of curls that used to bounce around her face whenever she laughed.Whenever she smiled, her skin had lost its healthy glow, replaced by a heartbreaking paleness.But I knew that would return with time and proper care.Then I remembered her eyes, the fear I had seen in those brilliant blue eyes haunted me.Once upon

TobyI slumped back in my chair and dragged a hand through my hair.My gaze settled on the stack of phone messages lying on my desk.One was from my brother, Theron and another from Piers, I shifted uncomfortably.I had already avoided them longer than I should have.By now they had received my messages and were undoubtedly demanding answers.How was I supposed to explain any of this?How was I supposed to tell them that the woman I'd believed had betrayed us, thewoman responsible for costing us millions was now living under my roof. Pregnant with my child.And that I intended to take her back to Greece with me.I let out a frustrated breath before reaching for the phone.I dialed Theron's number and he answered almost immediately."How did the groundbreaking ceremony go?" I asked in Greek."Finally."Theron's dry voice carried through the line."I was beginning to think I'd have to fly to New York and force the answers out of you myself."I sighed, "I deserve that.""Hold on."I hea
