CHAPTER ELEVEN

“I did this.”

Eric said, watching his unconscious daughter on the bed, her wrist was bandage from the deep cut she made in suicide attempt.

“You didn’t! I did!”

I lamented, feeling awful.

“No! You did the best thing!” He said, holding my arms. “I was too hard on her, she’s just a kid..”

“She’ll be fine, okay?”

“If we had taken her on the vacation as well like you suggested…”

“She’ll be fine.” I repeated, squeezing his hand a little.

Just then, Isabel shifted on her bed and opened her eyes to us.

“My darling! You’re awake..” Eric quickly rushed to hold her in his arms.

“Daddy..” she muttered, wincing as she tried to sit up.

“I’m sorry my gummy bear, daddy will never you leave you again, I’m so sorry, forgive me.”

He continuously said as he held her to himself, shutting his eyes.

I went teary with the way he loved his daughter, I wished I had a Dad that loved me this way, a dad that never left.

Kate recently moved in with Mr Marcelo, they were moving quickly in their relationship and her daughter, Kendall accepted him already as a father, not to mention the father-daughter school dance he went to as her father a few days ago. I never got to visit Kate the other day due to the whole secret admirer charade and even now, on my way from her home, a black car kept following me, it made every turn I made until I got to Eric’s estate.

Someone was definitely stalking me.

I found Isabel playing her piano for the first time in her room, I was memorized by her talent, she was really good at it, she was a talented young girl. She didn’t deserve to be hidden but then, her Dad was a public figure and the world was a cruel place.

“Can’t you just leave me alone!?” She snapped as I entered with cupcakes.

“I brought you home made cupcakes.” I offered.

“I don’t want them.”

She was being difficult but I wasn’t backing down.

I sat on her dresser chair and ignored the fact that she was watching me with a very scary look.

“I liked a boy that was really good with a piano in high school.” I told her and she frowned in confusion. “We were pretty close and he asked me out to prom, he died two nights before prom.”

Her face suddenly loosened up and I kept going,

“I’ve never met my dad. My mom’s sick with leukemia, something I had to deal with for years but now she’s having a stem cell transplant surgery…”

“Why are you telling me all this?” She asked.

“Nobody has it easy, Isabel. You just have to loosen up and let people who love you in..”

“Are you the people?”

“I can be.” I shrugged. She rolled her eyes.

“I want real friends, actual friends.” She told me. “Edwin was my first and only boyfriend..”

“I understand but you should be with boys your own age..”

“Boys my own age don’t know I exist and even if they do, they’ll laugh at me! My own mom left me with my daddy. Everybody always leaves so I try to not get attached in the first place.” She blurted out. I could see the sadness in her eyes and I really wished I could help her.

I thought of something.

“I could talk to your Dad, there’s a really cool music club down town, it’s a nice place for talented kids like you, you could meet new friends, only a few kids go there.”

“My Dad would never agree.”

“Why don’t you leave that to me.” I said to her with a small smile.

She looked at me strangely for a second.

“None of the others tried to befriend me. Why are you doing it? Did he promise you money?”

“No. I care about your Dad and you mean the world to him so I care about you too.”

“Do you really love my Dad, Liv?”

She asked, calling me Liv for the first time and in a gentle tone too.

“Yes. I’d never hurt him.. or you?”

I told her.

“Then why did you kiss that guy?” She asked and my heart beat accelerated.

She still remembered that!

“I was unconscious. He’s a bad guy, I didn’t kiss him, he kissed me, look, it’s all very complicated but believe me when I say I would never cheat on your dad.” I replied her, I waited for her to say something but she doesn’t. “Can we be friends now?” I asked.

She sighed and then stood up to take the cupcakes which gladdened my heart.

“I’ll think about it..” She told me and tried not to smile but I caught it already.

I left her room, relieved that we could be friends.

I didn’t have a job based on the contract, at first I was okay with it but lately it felt like I had no life outside Eric. He was barely home as he got called for endless meetings, I missed his presence a lot and I wanted to see him. So, I went to his company.

“Good day ma’am, how can I help you?”

A pretty blonde receptionist asked behind a table. She was like an AI generated office lady.

“I’m looking for Mr Ferraro.” I told her.

She gave me a concerning look.

“Mr Ferraro? The CEO?” She asked.

“Yes.”

“Can I see your company letter of meeting?”

“Letter of meeting?”

“A letter your company signed for you to meet him. You surely can’t be here on your own.” She said, looking at me disdainfully.

“I’m here on my own.” I told her, mustering up confidence.

“You can’t see him ma’am.”

“I’m—

“Good day miss.”

Rude. Absolutely rude. I shook my head and pulled out my phone from my black channel purse and called Eric.

“Hi baby.” I said immediately he picked. “I’m in your company but a..” I squinted at the lady’s ID card. “Laura Grant won’t let me in.”

I looked over at Laura and she looked so pissed. Good.

“Thank you baby.” I added and ended the call. Just then, Laura’s telecom rang and she picked it.

“I’m sorry sir, I’ll let her in immediately.” She said and dropped the phone.

“You may go in.” She gritted and I almost laughed.

I gave her a fake smile and cat walked away.

I was led by a security to Eric’s office and sat while waiting for him. His office was large with awards hung on a broad shelf. There was also a handsome portrait of him in a dark suit and a cute photo of Isabel on his table.

“Tell Rick to finish up the meeting with HR and draw up a schedule for next week..” I heard him say on his phone as he entered.

“Hi..” I smiled, happy to see my handsome billionaire boyfriend—if I could call him that.

“Oh God, you’re a sight for sore eyes.” He groaned as I stood up and hugged him.

“Did you just leave your meeting for me?”

“A princess shouldn’t be kept waiting.” He grinned and kissed me.

The kiss went on for minutes as he caressed my whole body and we made noisy kissing sound. I started feeling his Erection against my tummy and I could feel my vibrating pussy drenching my panties.

“This is an office.” I whispered between kisses.

“My office.” He replied, trailing kisses down my neck.

“Anyone could walk in.” I pointed out.

He gave me a wolfish grin and pressed something on his table and I heard the door click.

“It’s locked.”

Oh, he wasn’t backing down so we continued kissing like teenagers in a dark alley.

“I’ve always thought about eating you right here on this table.” He rasped, breaking the kiss.

I bit my lips at his statement and pushed my cleavage at him.

“Then do it.”

He wasted no time in picking me up and placing me on his desk filled with documents. He hurriedly pulled up my stretchy dress and almost tore my Victoria secret panties as he took it off me. I waited in anticipation as I spread my legs apart, accommodating him between my legs.

“Oh yes!” I moaned as he took a big swipe on my cunt. He took many more and French kissed my entire pussy, almost making me come in the process. He tongue fucked my dripping cunt, making slurpy sounds as he ate me out and honestly, I felt he enjoyed giving me head more than I did.

I was close, so close to coming when he pulled away and straightened up.

“Eric—

I whispered, my mind foggy from withheld orgasm.

“You’ll come when I get home, do you understand?”

What!?

“Eric, no, no please baby, I have to come..” I begged like a slut I was whenever I was with him.

He chuckled as i writhed on his desk and I took my fingers to rub my needy clit but he slapped them away carefully.

“I said you’d come when I get home, I’m not done with you.” He said sternly.

I swallowed and nodded, obeying my owner.

“Good girl.” He rasped. “I’ll get you a new car if you keep behaving properly, alright?”

Another car? What a sweet sexy man.

“Okay sir.” I smiled, biting my lips and glancing at his protruding erection.

“It’ll go down.” He said and helped me down from his table.

“You’re so pretty, you know that?” He whispered and kissed my neck.

“Well, a certain silver fox tells me that all the time.” I giggled.

He gave my ass a small squeeze and a deep kiss on my forehead. I felt that, it was like he was telling me things he couldn’t say with that kiss. There were things I couldn’t say either.

I stopped at the mall on my way home to get some lingerie as I thought of more happy time with Eric, when I was done and heading to my car, I met a lady waiting by my car. She was a stunning blonde, red lipstick, perfect make up, fur coat and awesome heels. She was the type of lady that could get all the attention in the room.

“Um, excuse me, this is my car.” I told her in a not so confident voice.

“I know.” She said, her piercing blue eyes dead on mine.

Okay, this was weird.

“Who are you?” I asked.

She smiled in a way that scared me and ran her eyes from my head to toe.

“I’m Dana Gilbert. Isabel’s mother.” She said, proudly.

Isabel’s mother!?

My heart skipped a beat.
