ROMANCE: BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE: Completely Obsessed (Bad boy Alpha Male Pregnancy Romance) (New Adult and College Contemporary Romance) (177 page)

Chapter 5

After their wild experience in the camp site, Grace and Morris continued to fuck like bunnies every time Felicia was out of the house.  They were able to keep their secret well and Felicia barely noticed because she too was fucking Jamie like a bunny.  It seemed like everyone was fucking their hearts out.  But that wasn’t all anyone did. 

Eventually, Morris took Grace out on an actual date and for once Morris was actually quite romantic.  He would be very good to her, holding her hand, holding doors for her, and laughing with her.  It seemed like they were perfect for each other even though there was such an age difference between the two of them.  Everything seemed perfect. 

Soon, however, the girls’ winter break came to an end.  Morris knew he would have to let his new lover go, but he wanted to do something for her before she went.  So one day when Felicia left the house to go to Jamie’s house Morris planned something special. 

Grace came home from the store and walked up to her room to find a note on the bed.  She picked it up to see Morris’ handwriting:  Go to your closet and find a new dress there, put it on, and then come downstairs. M.”  Grace read the note and felt the butterflies grow and cluster inside of her stomach.  She didn’t know what Morris was planning, but something about the note made her heart beat fast.  There was something in the way he wrote the note that told her that something was about to happen. 

Giddy, Grace moved to the closet to find a purple dress hanging there.  It was completely gorgeous.  It had a sweetheart neckline decorated with sequins.  It was on the shorter side but managed to cover her ass pretty well.  She blushed a little at the dress, both at how provocative it was and at how beautiful it was at the same time.  She wondered how it would look on her and she blushed when she finally put it on and looked in the mirror. 

As she looked in the mirror she didn’t even look like the same girl.  She had dressed modestly all her life and she had never owned a dress like this before.  It was so different, but she thought she looked good nonetheless.  She loved how it hugged her curves and how it made her look like a sexy woman. 

Once she was dressed she quickly freshened up until she looked absolutely stunning.  Taking one more look in the mirror, she decided she looked adequate enough and made her way downstairs.  She didn’t know what to expect, but she was excited.  She wondered what Mr. Kelly was up to. 

As she made her way down the grand staircase Mr. Kelly was waiting there in a sharp navy blue suit.  He looked very handsome with his hair slicked back and a slight 5 o’clock shadow adorning his angular chin.  Grace bit her lip as she looked at the man. 

Morris felt his heart skip a beat as he laid eyes on the woman.  She was absolutely beautiful and he wondered what he had done to deserve someone like her in his life.  She was young and beautiful and fucked like a goddess.  All he wanted to do was make her happy and hopefully tonight he would do just that. 

“You look amazing Grace.”  Morris finally whispered once she was close enough to hear him.  He grabbed her hand and kissed it gently before kissing the top of her head.  In the end, he brought her to a very fancy restaurant. 

Grace came from a lower-middle class family and had always dreamed of going to a fancy restaurant but her family never had the money to afford it.  Now here she was sitting with a billionaire eating lobster.  She never expected something like this would happen to her, but she was glad that it had.  She felt happy even though she knew that if her parents saw her now they would frown upon her decisions. 

They would have wanted her to be with a man her age, not someone almost twenty years her senior.  But Grace didn’t care.  She wanted to be with him and she would be with him.  There wouldn’t be anything that would tear her away from him. 

That is until school finally arrived and Grace and Felicia had to pack up their bags and go across the country to continue their studies.  It was a hard time for both Grace and Morris and they grew continuously lonely day by day.  Neither of them thought of anyone else but each other.  They called each other and their heartstrings tugged as they thought about each other at night and their hands crept down to intimate places.  But it wasn’t the same as the real thing.  Not even close.

After a few months, Grace noticed that she was gaining weight.  At first Grace dismissed it as emotional eating.  She was eating more than usual and she didn’t think anything about it until her stomach started to take on a round shape. 

Once this started to happen she had no doubt that she was pregnant.  She already had a baby bump and there was also no doubt who the father was.  Morris had been her first and only and unless Immaculate Conception was real the baby had to be his. 

Grace struggled with this information for a while.  She wasn’t sure what Morris would do when he found out she was pregnant and so she kept it to herself for a while.  Soon enough she knew she wouldn’t be able to hide it anymore.  She could only wear baggy shirts for so long.  She needed to tell him. 

Grace finally made the key move and called him.  With her heart in her mouth she waited for him to pick him, pacing around the room, nerves coursing through her body, keeping her on edge.  Finally, on the last ring, Morris picked up. 

“Hey, babe.”  Grace hesitated a moment. 

“Morris, I have to tell you something.”  Morris didn’t like the sound of her voice.  She sounded upset.  He prayed there was nothing wrong.  He feared the worst.

“I’m pregnant.”

Chapter 6

Morris’ world stopped for a second as he heard those words.  Had he heard correctly?  Was this girl really pregnant with his child?  Maybe she was trying to frame him, he had a lot of money and maybe the child was someone else’s and she wanted to put ownership on him so that he would pay for the child. 

Morris stood quietly as he held the phone to his ear.  Grace panicked as the silence grew oppressive.  Was Morris angry?  There were a million different emotions and fears coursing through her mind as she thought about the situation she was in.  She was carrying a child, a child whose father was twenty years her elder, a child that would be born out of wedlock, a child that would be disgraced by a mother who would surely be disowned by her own parents.  Grace could feel her whole world crashing down upon her.  What was she supposed to do?

Grace could feel the tears running down her cheeks as she thought about her life.  There was every possibility that all her dreams, hopes, and aspirations would be destroyed with this child.  How was she supposed to go back to her family when she had gotten pregnant outside of a marriage?  How was she supposed to graduate from fashion school when she had to take care of a young child?  Grace felt like her whole world had been taken away from her.

Still Morris didn’t say a word. What was he supposed to say in a time like this?  His world was thrown into chaos as well.  No one would accept this.  His daughter would surely hate him for sleeping with her best friend.  The media would expose the scandal and their lives would be a living hell. 

Suddenly, however, Morris heard the sound of Grace’s sobs coming through the phone.  His heart ached as he heard the sound and he frowned as it felt like his heart was breaking, piece by piece, as he heard her anguished sobs course through his ears.  She didn’t deserve this. 

“Listen… Grace… please calm down.  Don’t cry, please… It’ll be okay, I promise.” 

“How can you say that?  My life is over… my family will disown me.  I will have to drop out of college.  I was not planning for this.” 

“Listen to me Grace.  I would never let any of that happen to you, I can promise you that.  I can’t promise that it won’t be hard, but I can promise you that I will be with you every step of the way.  It will be hard, yes, we may be frowned upon and have to deal with judgments, but the last thing I will do is abandon you and this child.”  As Morris said these words his voice took on a serious tone.  He meant every word he uttered.  He would never abandon this woman and their child.  Never. 

Grace was surprised when she heard his words.  Did he really mean what he was saying?  Grace had expected him to abandon her.  Why would a man of his state and reputation risk his career and his name in order to provide for her and the child?  It didn’t make any sense to Grace but in a way it could account for her calling him in the first place. 

“Now… can you sit tight for me?  I will get on the next plane and be there in a couple of hours, okay?”  His voice was calm and sympathetic.  Grace nodded before remembering that she was talking on a phone.  She eventually found the voice needed to say yes. 

The time that it took for Morris to get on a plane and reach Grace felt like an eternity for her.  She had paced around her room.  She had thought about every bad situation that could have happened to her.  Everything.  But at one point she thought about the baby growing inside of her.  She thought about its future and what it would look like.

In that moment, she felt the first inklings of motherhood course through her heart.  There was something that turned on inside of her, making her protective of this unborn child.  Whatever happened, whatever the world threw at her she would defend this child until the end. 

Eventually, there was a knock on the door.  Grace got up quickly and looked through the peephole to see Morris standing there.  He looked nervous.  Grace quickly opened up the door and Morris quickly wrapped his arms around the shaking girl. 

She was afraid, so afraid.  She didn’t want to face what was about to happen to her, all the changes about to occur in her life, but she knew she had no other choice.  She needed to be strong for the baby.  There was no other way. 

Morris hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head.  “Hey… it’ll be okay, I promise.  I will do everything in my power to make sure that you and the baby are happy.”  He whispered softly as he once again kissed the top of her head. 

He had no idea how he was going to handle this situation, but he knew he would do whatever he needed to ensure their safety and happiness.  He would do whatever he needed to.

Chapter 7

After arriving at Grace’s door, the two of them arranged for Grace to take a leave of absence from school.  They were good about keeping the pregnancy a secret and it was their plan to keep it a secret until they managed to come up with a plan about how to explain the whole thing to their loved ones. 

In the meantime, Morris brought Grace back to his home where he took good care of her.  He paid for her to see the best doctors and gave her the best care in the world. 

***

Grace was now about seven months pregnant.  There was no denying the stomach she was now bearing, but since she rarely left the mansion, no one yet knew about the baby.  They were still struggling with the idea of explaining their situation to the people they cared about.  Grace was terrified of confessing to her parents and Morris was terrified of coming clean to his daughter.  Both of them knew that there was a risk of broken relationships when the secret was revealed and so they avoided it as much as possible. 

They tried, instead, to live in a peaceful world, ignoring the fears surrounding them.  Tonight the weather had forced them to stay inside.   They were watching a movie and Grace was lying down with her head in Morris’ lap as they watched a romantic comedy.  As the rain bashed against the window pane, filling the living room with the lulling sound of rainfall, Grace suddenly gasped. 

Morris’ eyes grew large in concern as he looked down at her.  “What… what’s wrong?”  He asked, his voice laced with anxiety.  He looked down to find a smile plastered on Grace’s face which only worked to confuse him.  Why was she smiling? 

Suddenly Grace reached up and grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.  As she did Morris gasped as well when he felt the distinct motion of the baby’s kick.  There was an emotion that ran through his heart in that moment, an emotion that reminded him of his time with Meagan.

He had experienced a similar moment with his wife and tears pricked against his eyes as he felt himself teleported to the past, to where he was in a shabby home, holding her hand and listening to the baby, his ear firmly pressed against her stretched out skin, as he heard the strong rhythmic sound of a heartbeat. 

Morris was about to lean down and kiss her stomach when the door open.  Suddenly, Felicia was walking into the home and making her way into the living room, lured by the sound of the movie.  The two of them looked at each other with large eyes as they heard the distinct sound of Felicia’s heels clicking against the marble floor. 

There was panic in Grace’s dark eyes as she quickly sat up and started to cover herself up with a nearby blanket.  She didn’t know if they were ready to confess what had happened to her best friend and she didn’t know if she would be able to go through it.  She felt herself getting cold feet as her heart beat a million beats per minute inside of her chest. 

As Felicia entered the living room she stopped in her tracks.  She stared at her father and then at her friend.  Her friend that was supposed to be studying abroad in Paris.  She was supposed to be overseas.  What the hell was she doing with her
father
watching a movie?

“What the hell is going on here?”  Felicia demanded as she got close to the two of them.  Her eyes narrowed as she tried to figure out what was going on.  Suddenly it hit her.  Suddenly, she realized exactly what was going on.  How had she been such a fool? 

“Don’t you dare tell me…HOLY SHIT!”  Felicia’s voice was stone cold as she glared at her father.  “How could you do this dad?”  Her voice filled with venom.  She knew her father had questionable dating habits, but she never thought him capable of fucking her
best friend
. 

And how could Grace do this to her?  How could her best friend, the girl she trusted with her life, all her secrets, the girl she considered like a sister to her, how could a girl like that betray her?  Felicia felt sick to her stomach as she looked at them.  She stared at the blanket around Grace’s midsection.  It was eighty degrees in the home, why was Grace wrapped up in a blanket?  Unless, of course, she was hiding something. 

Felicia quickly moved forward and yanked the blanket way from her friend.  Her eyes fell on her friend’s distended stomach and her world flipped upside down.  She was pregnant.  Felicia couldn’t handle the situation anymore.  She turned around and left the room and then left the home without a word.  The two of them could hear the sound of her car viciously peel out of the driveway and rush down the street. 

The two of them had been thunderstruck throughout the entire thing.  Finally, Morris snapped out of his daze and rushed out of the house, following his daughter.  His daughter was in an unstable condition.  She was in danger of doing something stupid in her angered state and he needed to explain himself before this happened. He quickly got on his motorcycle and tried to follow her, but she was long gone by the time he made his way onto the street.  But one way or another he would find her. 

***

It took Grace a little longer to get her bearings again.  She was shaking as the fears, doubts, and anguish rushed back into her.  She didn’t know what was going to happen, but something told her it wouldn’t be good.  She was scared and alone. 

She didn’t know what to do.  She felt so alone and paced around the living room. 

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.  She assumed it was one of them coming back and didn’t even bother to check the peephole.  She opened up the door when suddenly something pinched the side of her neck and everything went black.  She fell onto the floor and her whole world shut off.
