Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 72: Forever Bound to Him
Edmund’s POV Love is an endless battle between choices and their consequences. Just one wrong move and you will lose everything. One misunderstanding and it's over. I stared at my phone's screen. I used to be too lazy to touch it, now I'm just grinning like an idiot because of its beautiful wallpaper. My wife and daughter. Right. This is what you call heaven. "So what do you think of our proposal Mr. Moriarty?” I was startled when the person in front of me suddenly spoke. I sat up straight because she was staring at me, noticing that I wasn’t listening. I sipped my wine. A bit unethical but I had no choice but to join her here at a French restaurant inside the hotel. I canceled our meeting last time because I was working from home and if I were to work, I would be too busy to insert the conversation with Mocha into the schedule. Her family's hotel is one of the biggest and we can't deny the fact that they make millions annually but they are not doing well these days. I only s
Carrying the Don's Baby Prologue
“Congratulations, Miss Clarks. You are three weeks pregnant.” My lips fell apart. No. What on earth did I just hear? I fell back on the cushioned seat when the realization slowly dawned on me. I’ve been feeling bad lately and my period got delayed for more than a week now which never happened before. I fainted while I was in a café and the people called for ambulance which brought me to the hospital. I thought it was just fatigue. While walking in the hospital’s corridor, the unsettling feeling in my gut worsened when I remember my dad. My face contorted as I imagined what his reaction would be once he discovered I’m pregnant. And the fact that I don’t have a boyfriend makes it even worse! I sucked in my breath when I recalled what happened three weeks ago. Dad and I argued because he was forcing me to go on a blind date with his business friend’s son. I refused and went to a high-end bar with my friends, but I got wasted and met a random handsome stranger whom I spent the nig
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 1: Who is the Father?
My heart is pounding so damn hard that I can barely breathe. I slowly turned on my heel, hoping that the man is a big womanizer who sleeps with women and forgets them afterward. I don’t think I can swallow the embarrassment if he would recognize me as that wild virgin girl in the Coven bar three weeks ago. I can vaguely remember the details, but I recalled how he cursed loudly when he realized it was my first time. “Damn, my patience can’t afford to fuck a virgin,” those were the words he muttered to himself as he did his best to slow down because I was tearing up in pain. I gripped the strap of my shoulder bag as I faced the man. I could hear my heartbeat ringing in my ears but I tried to maintain a straight face. My wobbly knees wobbled a little more when my gaze met his deep blue eyes. “Sorry for that, sir! I was too careless and caused you inconvenience!” I bowed my head three times to mess up my hair so he won’t recognize me in case he has a sharp mind. “Look at me,” he dema
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 2: How it started
Flashback... I walk into the bar filled with colorful smokes, people chattering, loud music that dominates the atmosphere and oh! It's Cheap thrills by Sia that is being played in the background. I looked around and saw a woman crying in the corner, a group of men and women laughing, heavy drinkers and guys among my age. I giggled as I rest my hands on the cold counter table of this bar. I planned to have a drink of two or more and as the night goes on, I'll be more comfortable and intoxicated. I'll let the noise of this place wash the pain away! Why am I even here? Well, I'm giving myself a chance to cry, a good cry to forget Blake's betrayal. My damn ex boyfriend who betrayed me. How dare he cheat on me! Is it because I can’t give him his needs as a man? He had sex with another girl and he actually sent the video to me? What did he think? That he is the only man in the world? How narrow-minded. I drank the last glass of tequila and asked for another. It's time for me to move on, h
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 3: To Marry in a Week
Dad welcomed me with a slap when I went home. “Lawrence!” Tessa, my father’s new wife, held his arm. “This unfilial child! Did you really think I won’t discover that you ditched Peyton on your blind date? The man is one of the few out there that can give you a decent life! He’s an achiever back in college, had finished his MBA, and is the director of their company! He’s got everything you need! You are to graduate soon and you have to secure a credible husband!" Dad massaged the bridge of his nose. His yells echoed in the whole house loudly. It wasn’t new though. This scene tends to happen often. I just don’t understand why he keeps on controlling my life like what he did to my mom. I guess it was the reason why Mom never got the happiness she deserved when they were together. Dad is a big control freak. “If you don’t want me to keep on ditching those blind dates, then maybe you should stop pairing me with guys I’m not interested in,” I said before walking to the stairs. He conti
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 4: Against the marriage
I cried the whole night until I was out of tears. Dad put a lot of security all over the mansion and my every move was monitored. There was even a CCTV installed in my room which forced to me go to the bathroom every time I need to change. I felt suffocated. The house that was once my comfort zone felt like a cage to me now. I hoped Dad was just threatening me when he said my wedding with Peyton would happen in a week, but when the wedding organizer came the next day, I figured he wasn’t kidding. He is really marrying me off to a man I haven’t even spent a whole day with. “I know you don’t want to marry me, but I know your situation, Lily. Once your baby bump starts to be visible, people will talk. It will ruin your father’s reputation and will affect the business. My family owes your father so I can’t say no to him,” Peyton said when he joined us during dinner so we can talk about our wedding. I was silent the whole time so he followed me to my room so we can talk privately. “Do y
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 5: Quit the Act
Dad suddenly stood from his seat and his eyes widened at the man as if he recognized him. The guests chattered, surprised that someone suddenly came to break off the wedding.“Isn’t that Edmund Moriarty?” Peyton asked. “Do you know him, Lily?”“Edmund… Moriarty? Who is that?”The name didn’t sound familiar, but if Peyton knows him, he must also be a big name in the business industry. But what the hell is he doing here? My life is already chaotic enough!The chattering became louder when the man named Edmund walked to the aisle without bothering to look at anyone on the sideline. He graced the aisle with his black three-piece suit, hair slicked back, and his sleek shoes shining against the floor.His fluid moves were marked with confidence and exuded pride and power.Just with how he carried himself and how he barged into a wedding like he was walking around the park, I immediately knew he is not just a nobody. He’s a man who got power.But the question is… how did he know my name? Why
Carrying the Don's Baby Chapter 6: His Offer
“Let’s talk privately,” I said. My knees are still wobbly and my nape is covered with cold sweat. I’m still nervous but I had to make things clear to this man. However, I can’t speak freely with many ears listening to us. “Follow me,” he said and walked out of the church. I followed him while holding the sides of my long wedding dress to prevent myself from falling. I heard Dad call me but I didn’t listen. Outside the church, a sleek black car awaited. The bulky man with glasses I remembered to be his driver opened the backseat door. “Where are you taking my daughter, Mr. Moriarty?” I heard Dad’s voice from behind but instead of turning around, I went inside the car. I know I might be dealing with someone dangerous, but when a door opens for you after being locked for a long time, it’s hard to just stay in your position. I’m not sure if the marriage this man is offering is a bluff or not, I don’t want to marry him either, but at the moment I just want to get away. “I assure you
