Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 29
My morning alarm went off at its usual time but I hit snooze only for it not to ring
again. Through my slumber, the amount of sleep that I was getting began to
become suspicious. My eyes flew open and I searched the bed for my phone.
Once I found it next to the pillow, I checked the time and instantly swore under
my breath.
Kicking my legs over the side of the bed, I quickly rushed to the bathroom and
took the most brief shower I had ever taken in my entire life. I changed up just as
fast in to a pair of formal pants and chiffon blouse with ruffle detailing along my
n*eckline.
chaos of the morning had still not worn off before I had been thrown in to an
unexpected. meeting with a few of the newly recruited investors but luckily Nancy
had whatever I needed to know all compiled in to a folder.
The meeting lasted a while and by the end of it I was famished. Breakfast was
not some thing I had the luxury of this morning due to my negligence but I was
determined to rectify it before I could go on with the rest of the day.
I walked out of the boardroom and handed a file with notes back to Lucy which
she took along with the instructions I left for her to draw up new contracts for the
investors. It was a positive start to the day despite the rocky way it began. New
investors meant more money which would be used properly in achieving the
goals and proving Dante Crawford wrong.
His bet still stood and I was determined now more than ever to see to it that me,
and the company, emerged victorious against his bet.
I headed to my office and grabbed my bag right when my phone began to ring. I
fished it out of my bag and saw Adams number flash across the screen.
“Well, well, well, look who finally called.” I said placing the phone to
my car.
“What can I say, you're not the only trying to sort out business.” He joked back
and I chuckled. leaning my hip against the edge of my desk.
“Work is keeping you busy then. I thought the American dealings were complete.”
1 said since that was what he had last said to me about it.
“It is but now it's time to sort out the specifics.” He sighed like he was already
exhausted. “Any ways, are you busy now? I was just about to drop by at your
office.” I could hear the chatter of people. around him as he spoke.
“Actually, I have a better idea. I'll meet you in the lobby. I was heading out for a
late breakfast anyways. You might as well come with.” I suggested moving to the
door.
“I could use an espresso and a snack.” He agreed and the elevator doors opened
to take me down to the lobby.
The cafe we visited was the usual one I always ate at since I got back. It was
convenient being so close to the office building and the food was behind decent.
The whole cafe was done up to fit in to the recent standards or being aesthetic.

Adam and I had taken a booth in the middle of the cafe and placed out orders to
the waitress. We chatted for a short while but Adam excused himself to use the
men’s room.
I sat and sipped on the glass of water that I requested when I had gotten here
and looked around the place which was not really busy at this time of day. People
were mostly dropping by to pick up their coffees and a snack to go with it before
heading on their way.
For some unknown reason, almost like it was an instinctual move, my gaze
moved to the entrance door. Maybe it was a movement that caught the corner of
my eye or what ever but there entered the last person I imagined to see this
morning let alone wanted to
Dante Crawford dressed in his formal apparel unlike yesterday where he donned
on casual wear walked in to the cafe. At first, I thought that he might be looking
for some one but there really was not any one else here besides Adam and I and,
what looked like a university student at the far end.
His face wore a look of stubborn determination. His I*ps were firmly set and some
thing about his stance made my b*dy stiffen in uneasiness.
I was no equipped to deal with him so soon especially after what had happened
last night. I'd assumed that he would leave me be and forget about it all at least
for a few days before he appeared and annoyed me again.
But luck, these days, had not been on my side.
I looked away hoping he wouldn't see me and get his food and leave but to my
utter surprise, he steered his b*dy directly to the booth I had been seat at like he
knew I was here beforehand.
“Dante, what are you doing here?” I questioned, my voice a little high pitched.
Dante ran his eyes over me in a way that was a little to closely analysising like he
could see right through my
blouse.
“I stopped at your office but you were not there but it's a good thing some one
spotted you head this way.” His tone was cocky which only served to send my
anxiety through the roof.
“What ever it is you want. I'm sure it can be a phonecall or an email. I brushed it
off but his nostril flared and he quickly relaxed it before he lost his cool.
“I'm afraid that this cannot be.” He grunted sliding himself in to the bench across
from me uninvited.
I stared blankly at his audacity but he didn’t seem bothered. He pulled back his
blazer and retrieved an orange folder which he slid across the table.
“If this is work related then it is best to meet me when in the office and not here. I
mocked at improper conduct but his jaw clenched.
“This is not business. He said in a low, gutteral tone.
I frowned but pulled the folder closer to me, fl*pped the tab at the end and pulled
out a that had the heading Paternity Test in bold.

I swallowed audibly. “I see it isn’t but it's not relevant to me.” I shrugged trying to
keep cool when !

was any thing but on the inside.

“Oh, but it is. Considering you and I were married around the same time Hayley
was conceived, it is only fitting that a paternity test be conducted. It is no longer
an option.” His tone was hard and so was his eyes like he already knew the truth
and was ready to unleash his anger towards me if I did what he assumed I had.
I opened my mouth to say some thing, any thing that might just deter him from
persuing this path but to no words escaped my I*ps. Adam arrived at the table
with his expression neutral until he saw the man who had been in his seat that he
occupied minutes ago.
“What is he doing here?” Adam asked me with displeasure on his face.
Dante’s scoffed at not being referred to directly and his I*ps curled. “It isn't a
matter that concerns you so I'd stay out of it.” Dante growled but Adam lurched
forward but caught himself.
“It is why I never asked you.” Adam retorted. “You just can’t leave her alone, can
you? What? That shallow girlfriend of yours that you refuse to commit to fully isn’t
satisfying you any more?” That struck a nerve because Dante hurled himself out
of the booth.
His hands gripped Adams collar tightly and he shook him violently. “You should
mind your words. I'm not the one chasing after a woman who isn't interested.”
Dante muttered right in Adams face and I gasped at his audacity.
Both men began pushing each other back and forward but Dante was stronger. I
knew I had to intervene before this turned in to a full blown fight.
“Why are you so hell bent on making her life a misery?” Adam yelled at him
angrily causing the staff of the cafe to gather in the distance to behold what was
happening.
“Stop it you two!” I said as loudly as I could but their raging anger was too wild to
hear a word I said.
“You kicked her out of your life once yet here you are eager to lick at her heels.
Adam's words sent. Dante's anger to a new height.

“F***I Dante swore.
“This is all your f**king fault!” Adam yelled at Dante before looking to inspect my
face. “Are you alright?” He asked as he tipped my head to the side trying to get a
look.

face as he inspected it.
My own anger had come to the fore front at these two especially Dante. His
entire behaviour was appalling and he didn’t know where to draw the line and just
stay out of things.
I threw both his hands away from my fave angrily then turned to get some tissue
from from the table to hold my nose but the minute I touched my nose 1 winced
loudly at the pain.
“We need to go to the emergency room. It could be broken.” Adam panicked
feeling his pockets for his keys.
“Sophia, I- I'm so sorry. 1-" Dante began apologizing but I threw him a sharp look.
“Save it. I don't want to hear it.” I snapped at him.
“Let's go.” Adam said as he guided me out but Dante followed behind us.
“My car is right here. Might as well get in. He insisted but Adam already began
protesting.
“No, we don't need any help from you.” Adam ground out.
“Now is not the time to have pride. Sophia is hurt and she needs to be checked
out.” Dante sounded like the most caring individual right now despite the rage in
his voice.
I'm hurt because of you two idiots. Just get me to the damn ER room.” I snapped
at both of them feeling the injury in my nose pound painfully like it had developed
a heartbeat.
