The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty Nine : Thank you principessa.
NICHOLAS. I slept with someone again. Slept as in sharing a bed with someone. Not the other meaning of 'slept'.It wasn't Ashley... Somehow, I had already memorized the feel of her against me after just one night.This person was smaller... tinier.I slowly opened my eyes, already preparing to adjust to the sunlight. But all I saw was the pale moonlight spilling across my face.I followed the trail of my hand and was shocked. I remembered Ashley offering to help me with my work. Me taking the drug and falling asleep. I didn't remember this.My first thought was to push her away. I wasn't ready for this type of connection. But a strange feeling settled in the pit of my stomach. Seeing her tiny hands spread out on my chest. I felt so good... like a dad. After acting like she didn't exist for a long time, she still trusted me.I didn't have the heart to stand up from the bed so I wouldn't wake her up. I simply stayed there, gently running a hand through her soft hair.It was just
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty Eight : It was only a matter of time.
ASHLEY. Some things didn't feel right. Not the extra-comfy bed, not the extra-soft pillow. I slowly opened my eyes, squinting to adjust to the sunlight. From the darker curtains, I knew I wasn't in my room. I pressed my hand on the pillow to steady myself. Instead of softness, I was met with a hard surface.I quickly glanced down and gasped. My eyes trailed to where my hand was touching. I did something stupid. I screamed... loud. His fucking abs. That's what I was touching. His eyes fluttered open and I jolted away from him. Falling to the floor in the process. His laughter followed me, it sounded hoarse.I stayed on the floor and covered my face with my hands. Our bodies were entangled. I could still feel sparks jolting round my body from his touch.I fucking slept in his room. Worse, I slept on him."Are you going to stay on the floor, forever?" he asked. How did I even look?My hair was probably sticking in every direction. Did I drool when I was sleeping? I was sl
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty Seven : Friends?
NICHOLAS. I just stared at her. I knew I could trust her but I was embarrassed to admit the truth."I want to share. I trust you," I replied.She beamed at me. "I trust you, too."Her words made me smile. It made me feel something. Before I could say anything, I sneezed again.I could feel a headache building, and my nose was getting stuffy.I knew what was coming next after the symptoms.Fever..."I was scared it was going to turn out like this. A child born out of wedlock in my family is considered a bastard. They receive only partial inheritance... and the list goes on.."She nodded in understanding. "What are you going to do?""Luciana’s mother doesn't want her. I will keep her," I replied. She looked shocked. "Did she say why? Maybe you can convince her otherwise.""Her mind is made up.""I am sorry."I chuckled but it came out like a throaty laugh. "For what?"She shrugged. "I don’t know."I hummed while massaging my temples. Concern flashed in her eyes. "How do you feel?"
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty Six : I will stay.
ASHLEY.He looked so broken, torn by his father's words. I watched him as he stared at Luciana. I feared he was going to say he hated her or blamed her for everything. I was surprised when he gently brushed her hair. Luciana smiled as he walked away. Like she was also glad that her dad doesn't hate her. I fixed a quick dinner for Luciana and took her to her room. I helped her change into her pyjamas and sang her a lullaby. "Da-da," she mumbled before closing her eyes. I hoped he was okay. I headed to my room after eating the sandwich I prepared for myself. I changed into my night clothes.I went back to the living room and waited for him to come back inside. He didn’t. Not even when the rain got heavier. My heart ached for him. My legs reacted before my mind could stop them. I wasn't sure it was my place to go after him. I found him sitting outside. He was shivering from the cold but he made no attempt to get up."Are you fucking trying to catch a cold?" I shrieked out.
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty Five : I... couldn't.
NICHOLAS. "Dad!" I called out as I chased after him. With one hand on the door, he turned back to me. He looked hurt.I have never seen him like that before. Not when he lost a business deal. Not during my mom’s memorial. "How old is she?""One year and some months.""Wow! So you have been living with her more than a year."I quickly shook my head. "I just found out about her months ago. I didn't know how to tell you.""You looked me in the eye and lied to me," he paused to give me a stern look. "I came here to welcome you back. To cook something for you like the old times since Katrina isn't around.""I am sorry."He shook his head. His expression turned cold.It scared me. "A simple sorry wouldn't get you out of this. I am highly disappointed in you."He walked out and I didn't bother following him. He needed space. And the paparazzi could be outside. The last thing we need is for our name to appear on the tabloid.I leaned against the wall and groaned loudly. I will be
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Forty Four : I don't know what happens now.
ASHLEY.When life throws you into a situation without giving you a manual or train you for it. It just leaves you to navigate through it on your own. "Who are you?" the person asked.I couldn’t help but stare. Everyone knew him. Business tycoon feared him.Children wanted to be like him. Students whisper his name in class. "I want to be that successful when I grow up."I would have loved to meet him but not like this. Not in his son's house.The Garett Bianchi.His gaze shifted from me to Luciana. He couldn't hide his surprise.He couldn't see her face from where he's standing.Her face will reveal everything. "Who are you?" he asked again. "My son isn't home. Kat isn't here. And I find an unknown woman with a child all alone in his house."I sighed. "It is not what it looks like sir."He chuckled. But it's anything but warm. "I am one minute from calling the police."My stomach turned... not in delight. The complete opposite.The freaking police?What do I say?What do I do?"
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Twenty Nine : Did I miss him?
ASHLEY. "Come here, Lucy!" I shouted for the millionth time. "You need to eat your dinner."She giggled over over her shoulder before crawling away.I could easily pick her up, but I liked to let her think she's in charge.She stopped abruptly before turning around. She tried walking back towards
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Twenty Six: What the fuck do I do?
NICHOLAS. I shook hands with the investor. "Thank you for your time." "Looking forward to working with you, Mr. Bianchi," the man replied. I retracted my hand and gave a firm nod. "You wouldn't regret it." He nodded back before walking out of the boardroom with his associates. After days of p
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Seven : An offer?
ASHLEY I watched him frown at her, and I almost snorted. She didn't ask to be brought into this world.I looked down at her. She looked really sad, like she understood what that single look meant. That, she just got rejected by her own father.I ran a hand through her hair, and she looked up at
The Reluctant Daddy CEO Chapter Six : Not a dad!
NICHOLAS I glanced at Ashley as she managed to get that baby to shut up. I could feel my driver staring at us through the rearview mirror. He knew better than to say anything.I remember nothing of the night that baby's mother was talking about. I would never sleep with a girl without protectio
