A Baby For The Billionaire

“Okay Domenic, remember… if anyone is to ask you about last night, don’t say a word about it. Just tell them that we arrived at the airport this morning and if they want to know more about the details, they should meet me.” Stephen instructed as they arrived at the Gray mansion.

“Sure Boss.” Domenic replied.

They were at the back of 2018 model Range rover sports, a professional driver sitting in the front. They arrived in front of the massive mansion and the driver stopped the car. Stephen could hear her screams as he stepped out of the car, she was heading straight to him in excitement.

Jenny Bricks, daughter of a female influencer and single mother. Jenny, who was looking to take after her mother by becoming a model, had met Stephen in one of the elite parties and had fallen in love shortly after. Now they were engaged and planning to get married in a short time.

“Steve!!” she called fondly as a shorter version of his name and then she jumped into his arms like an over excited teenager.

“Hey sweetie,” he smiled and hugged her back. “I have missed you,” he added.

“Liar!” she yelled and pulled away from him, then she hit him on the chest playfully. “I know you didn’t miss me one bit,” she insisted.

“Of course I did, why wouldn’t I miss the love of my life?” he teased.

“And what about us, did you miss us as well?” Mrs. Grey’s voice sounded from the entrance of the hallway.

“Mom!” Stephen’s face brightened up as he hurried towards his mother, leaving Jenny behind. “Of course I missed my adorable parents!!” he added and then hugged his mom.

“Oh my baby boy, mommy missed you more. Why did you have to grow up so fast? Now you travel all on your own and leave us worried,” she whined.

Jenny stood in by the flowers and frowned her face, she was jealous that he put his parents over her. No matter how much he loved her, he would always choose his parents first and she disliked it. She was going to be his wife and yet he gave his parents more attention than herself.

She scoffed and walked towards them slowly, her chest burning in jealousy. She couldn’t wait to get married to him, take him away from here to a new house and have him all to herself.

“So how was your flight, son?” Mr. Grey queried.

“It was good Pa, just a little delayed due to the weather.” Stephen lied. He hoped that his parents hadn’t done any research after his disappearance or they might learn that he was lying and then he would be forced to admit that he had spent the night in a hotel.

Now, staying at a hotel wasn’t the problem, he was an adult and could sleep wherever he wanted, but his family, especially his fiancée would be angry to know that he chose privacy over them. If she even felt unwanted at the slightest, she would make a fuse over it. But how would he explain to them that at times, a person just needs their personal privacy and peace of mind?

“Zach!! Please take the young master’s luggage to his room.” Mr. Gray instructed the neatly dressed butler who wasn’t standing too far away.

“Sure, Sir.” The butler replied and then pointed to two of the servants to come with him.

“Please come inside Son, I will ask the maids to send your food to your room because we already had breakfast.” Mrs. Gray informed him.

“Okay Mom, thanks a lot… I am not only very hungry but I have missed the dishes made by your beautiful hands.” He teased me.

“I hope that is not a bribe for me to forget what you promised me before you left for Asia?” she frowned immediately.

Stephen chuckled and shook his head sideways. “No mom, of course I got your present for you, I will send it to your room personally later in the day.” He replied.

“Okay my boy, that’s very nice of you.”

To cut the drama short, Stephen Grey received a warm welcome from his family which consisted of his father, his mother and his fiancée at the moment. Of course there were other members of the family but they were not present at the moment. He had a brother and a sister, the brother was not in the country and his sister must be at some party or birthday or wherever rich girls love to hangout.

Stephen retired to his room and as soon as he sat on his bed, he got enveloped by the thought of everything that had happened last night. The wealthy son and heir to the Gray dynasty was worried, he was deep in thought with his conversation with Ana. Her words had really stung deep into his soul and her tears were hurting him.

He knew that she was in pain but he also didn’t approve of what she thought of him, she didn't know him so she had no right to judge him or point fingers at him. She saw him as a bad man; truly, he wasn’t always a responsible gentleman but that was all in the past, and he hated to be identified by something he had given up on. What intrigued him the most about her was the fact that she had rejected his offer to get her a job or give her money.

Most ladies were willing to offer their body in exchange for those things, but she cared more about her dignity. Did such women still exist? A woman who values virtuousness over ill-made wealth and influence? She could have easily accepted the money and forgotten that everything happened but she would rather remain unfortunate and hold up to her self-esteem and dignity.

Now that was what bothered him the most, the fact that he couldn’t influence or bribe her with his money. Yeah, she didn’t threaten to file charges of assault against him which she certainly could if she wanted, even though that it could be at her own loss due to their financial statuses, but regardless he was troubled by her words, her tears and her character.

Could a person be that good? Or was it all an act? But for what reason would she put on such an act? It doesn’t benefit her in any way, unless she has other plans that he wasn’t aware of, and the thought of that left him more curious.

Stephen’s thoughts were disturbed by a kiss on the neck; it was of course his fiancée. She sat on the bed behind him and began to kiss him continuously on the neck while hugging him from behind. Stephen sighed and closed his eyes, he hadn’t seen her come in.

He was trying to concentrate, but not on her show of affection, he was troubled by the middle class girl whose virginity he had taken away and yet she threw his money in his face, promising to hate him forever.

“Babe, what is wrong?” Jenny asked as she noticed he wasn’t reciprocating her show of affection, he had even stopped her from unbuttoning his shirt.

“I am sorry, I am not in the mood right now.” He replied bluntly.

“Huh? What do you mean you are not in the mood? You have been away from home for a whole week; a week where I have been all by myself, missing you and waiting patiently for you to return, and now that you are here, you say you are not in the mood? Why?” she queried.

“It is nothing serious, I am just worried about some issues at work.” Stephen lied to save his head.

“Liar! You have had a whole week for work and now that you are back to me, you are still thinking about work? You won't even touch me or look me in the eyes. Tell me the truth Steve, are you cheating on me? You were with some other girl back there, weren’t you?” she fired.

“What? Of course not,” Stephen retorted and turned back to face her. “You know I would never cheat on you, I would be crazy to do that.” He denied.

“So you haven’t had sex since you left a week ago?” she asked.

“No I haven’t, I promise I am not that person anymore, ever since I put a ring on your finger, I haven’t been with any other woman. You are the only one I want to make love to, there is no woman prettier than you in the world, so why would I cheat?” he queried.

Jenny blushed immediately and looked down shyly. “Really? Awn… I love you so much,” she screamed and kissed him on the cheek.

Stephen smiled. “I love you more, Hun. Now, let me show you what I got for you during my travels,” he said, quickly changing the topic as he felt guilty lying to her. Of course, he had been loyal to her, up till last night when he slept with Ana.

“Great… What is it? I can’t wait!!” she uttered in excitement.

Stephen brought out a small box from his breast pocket and opened it, then he brought out a diamond necklace. “Here, this is for being a good girl,” he announced.

“!!!” she squealed in excitement and took it off his hands. “It is so beautiful, I need to show my friends ASAP.” She announced and ran off immediately.

“You didn’t even say thank you!!” Stephen uttered but she was gone already. He sighed and slumped down on the bed. This Ana issue was eating him up!!
