Semua Bab Daddy's Pet.: Bab 71 - Bab 80

[Gianna’s POV]I stare in disbelief as Grant watches me, his eyes screaming that he is serious about what he just said and when it becomes too much, I feel my anger bubbling.What was it about this man?Did he enjoy pissing me off that much?I mean, shit. Everytime he opened his mouth he said that would make my blood boil and made me realize that there was just no way that we would ever be good together, but even then, somewhere deep down, I couldn’t stop the attraction I felt toward him.Was I a masochist or something?To be attracted to a bastard who was always poking at me.“Murder is illegal, you know.” I say now.“Only if you’re caught,” he smirks. “Anyway, you didn’t answer my question.”“Because there’s no reason to do that. My private life has nothing to do with you.”“Wrong,” he tells me. “I already told you…”“Yeah, yeah,” I huff. “Anything to do with me became your business when you fucked me, but that doesn’t mean that I have to go along with it.”Not wanting to go back an

[Gianna’s POV]I stare in disbelief as Grant pulls open the door to the taxi in front of us and when he steps aside and motions for me to enter I realize that he is serious about what he is saying.He’s actually intending to marry me because I was pregnant with his child, but there was no way that I could allow that to happen, right?“Get in,” Grant says, making it clear that he wouldn’t let me get away with running. “Or do you want me to put you in myself?”For a moment, I don’t speak as I stare at the man and the vehicle in front of me.What the hell was actually happening?How was it possible that I was all but being told that I needed to marry this man that I barely knew who was related to me because of my mother’s marriage?No.I couldn’t do that, not when there wasn’t any love.“You’re being ridiculous.” I sigh, crossing my arms and planting my feet. “Who gets married just because of a child this day in age?”We were living in the twenty first century and there was no reason for

[Gianna’s POV]Twenty minutes later, I stand in front of Grant, our hands clasped, a man dressed in a preachers getup, and vows being spoken though they are a lie.It is all surreal and definitely not what I would have expected after sleeping with this man because of a bet, but here we were.Not only us, but even the child that was created between us that was slowly growing in my stomach.“Do you Grant, take Gianna as your lawfully wedded wife?” The man overseeing our ceremony asks.“I do,” Grant responds, smiling, his gaze remaining locked on me.“And do you Gianna, take Grant as your lawfully wedded husband?” The man continues, his gaze shifting to me.For a moment, I don’t speak while wondering if this really was the best of ideas, but when Grant’s hands squeeze mine gently, I remember the reason I’m doing it.“I do.”I could just consider this a business transaction.I would shield Grant from forced engagements and dates and he would help me support myself and our child until I co

[Gianna’s POV]A shiver races through me as Grant’s words settle in and I try to ignore the need that I’m feeling.You’re pregnant, Gianna.You don’t know if sex is even alive.Wait… Was I actually considering having sex with this man?We were in a contract marriage, not an actual relationship. Hell, up until a few hours ago I didn’t even want to let him get close, and yet…It had to be the pregnancy hormones because I can’t keep my eyes off of the man beside me. I mean, who could when he was such a fine specimen? And I can’t stop remembering our amazing, mindblowing night together.Dammit. This wasn’t fair.How was it possible that he could pull me in without even trying?“Hm?”I flinch as I realize too late that I’m openly staring and Grant has caught on.“Something on my face?”“No,” I respond, deciding there really wasn’t any reason in overthinking this. “But there could be.”What the hell?We were both adults, we were married for now, and I was already pregnant by him.What was t

[Gianna’s POV]I stare at the place that Noel is pointing out on the screen, watching as my baby’s heart beats rapidly.How was it possible that something so miniscule and so random like a blinking spot could bring so many emotions to me? Especially when I was still so unsure about what exactly was happening. However, as I watch that small spot and a loud wooshing fills the room around us, I feel something in me shift.It isn’t an unpleasant shift and it doesn’t leave me uneasy. Instead, it gives me hope and it makes me feel like even though my life is changing drastically, it isn’t going to be as scary as I thought because…I turn my gaze to the man beside me who is watching and listening intently and to my surprise, I can actually see a bit of excitement on his face.“That’s our baby,” I murmur, daring a chance to see if maybe I was assuming the wrong things. “Isn’t it hard to believe?”At my words, Grant shifts his gaze to me and when I see the torrent of emotions flashing through i
