Baby With The Billionaire

Chapter 12: I'm Pregnant



Jade's POV

When parents tell story tales, they tell you that the love of your life will love you back and that you'll live happily ever after. They never told us that heartbreaks exist, never told us that it would hurt as it did. They painted the perfect unreal picture.

Loving someone who didn't love you back or even respect you was emotionally unbearable. It's two days since I last saw Kyle, he didn't try to contact me either. He didn't come to the office. He was probably ignoring me but that was for the best, if I saw him then the tears would come back and I just can't take the stress that comes with crying right now.

I looked blankly at the computer screen in front of me. I am to be writing a letter to come businesspeople inviting them Dale's Corp, annually expo but I was nowhere close to finishing. I was tired, emotionally and physically. I just couldn't be bothered with all that was going on right now. I was supposed to happy, I have money now.

I guess money can't happiness and it definitely can't buy love.

I sighed in frustration. I didn't like how I was feeling. All the smiles that I showed these days we just to hide how I really felt inside. Depressed and that was not healthy especially for my baby.

I rested my head on the desk for some time, just to get a break.

"Is everything okay? You have not been yourself for the past few weeks. Is there something you need to tell me?" I lifted my head to look at Dane.

"I'm pregnant. I'm so sorry that I have been falling behind on work it's that I've been so tired and stress. I just don't know what to do." And the tears began again.

He quickly kneed to my level. He rubbed my shoulders as a means of consolation. "Hey, you have me, you'll be okay." He continues rubbing my shoulder, but his affection doesn't make me feel better it just makes me feel worst, wishing that I was getting consolation from Kyle. "Do you want to go home for a few days and when you get better emotionally and physically you come back?"

"No, that would be worst. I'd be home doing nothing and that would be boring." I said sniffing. I didn't want to have Josh worrying either.

"Do you mind me asking some questions?"

I sigh, what secret I had to keep? "Go ahead"

"How didn't I know you were dating? Were you even dating? What did the jerk do?" Dane was getting defensive. Even though he was my boss, he was still my friend and he was sincerely a good person. "I wasn't dating anyone. It was a guy I was sleeping with and he didn't do anything."

"Jade. I never knew as the girl who just sleeps around," he stated surprised.

"I'm not," I said defensively.

"Then you love him?"

I nod. "But he doesn't love me." He rubbed my shoulders.

"Oh, sweetheart what have you gotten yourself into. Does he know about the baby?"

"Yes."

"And what did he say," Dane was sure eager to know the story that was so hard for me to tell.

"He's gonna be there but just not the way I want him to be. He hates me." If only I could tell Dane the full story then I could bore out my heart.

"Why does he hate you? You're the sweetest person I know. He's a fool."

"I keep telling myself that but, it doesn't hurt any less." And it was the truth, I keep telling myself that he wasn't good enough for me but my heart isn't agreeing. His face was still there, his touch, his laugh. He was still there. "We disagreed on something and that turned him against me."

"Oh, hun. I know you and you never do anything that beyond moral." He sighed. "He didn't deserve you."

I listen as a shout came from Kyle's office, Dane went in there only a few moments ago. I wonder if he was okay. Ever since Kyle came back to the office he's been shouting at the employees especially Dane. Hasn't even looked at me, he acted like I wasn't there just like he did before the deal was made. But before the deal, there was no shouting between him and Dane.

I jumped when Kyle office door open, we made eye contact for the first time in the two weeks since he's being back. His face looked like hasn't been shaving. He didn't like the Kyle I knew, or the Kyle I thought I knew.

His face showed exactly know he was, angry.

"You can't do that," Dane said walking behind Kyle. What were they talking about and why was Kyle so angry.

I shifted my eyes back to the computer screen and just act like I wasn't paying them any attention. "You can't tell me what to do, you work for me." He stopped a few steps from me, but I ignored him.

"Ms Brown, you're fired, please packing up your things and this leave this property before I have someone escort you out?" I quickly lifted my head to look at Kyle's face. I was too shocked to speak, he was firing me, he was really firing me.

But why?

"What did I do?" I turn to Dane and asked.

"Exactly, you've been doing nothing and it's costing my business money." Kyle's voice wasn't as sweet as I remembered. His tone now wasn't the toe he used when we were together. He sounded cruel and

mean

"She's pregnant Mr. Dale, of course, she's not gonna be as fast as she was before." We both turn our eyes to look at Dane.

"I don't care if she is pregnant, and you better not say anything else before you lose your job too." He was just being an S.O.B now.

"Dane please, don't lose your job because of me. I'll be okay. I'm leaving. There are many other jobs out there, even if I have to work in a fast-food restaurant It would have been better than working for a rich selfish bastard." I smiled at Dane. I felt much better now that I've said what was on my mind. I'm proud of myself, he needs to see that the world does revolve around him.

"Thank you for being my friend" I stand up from my seat, took up my handbag and walked towards the elevator without giving Kyle a second glance. I could fell his anger steaming up. I had just put him in his place and he didn't like. I left Dale Corp immediately. I have nothing there. He said he didn't care if I was pregnant and I believe him. Whatever stupid game he was playing me, he won.

I was in the kitchen when the door opened, Josh entered. He was shocked when he saw me, but I wasn't surprised I was normally at work this time of the day. "Why are you home?"

"I got fired."

"What? Why?" there came the unavoidable question.

I stopped what I was doing and looked straight at Josh. I walked over to where he was. I took his elbow and he said. "You're getting me worried now, is everything okay?"

We walked to the couch and took a seat beside each other.

"Now talk to me, big sister. Something has been going with you and you need to tell me. I'm here for you. Why did you get fired?"

"I got fired because I am pregnant."My one sentence has my brother looking at me silently then laughing but when he realized. "It's not April fool's you're a bit late."

I shake my head, "I'm pregnant"

"You not serious are you?"Josh looked, his emotions were hard to tell him he was surprised or just taken back.

"I am."

"How did that happen?"

"The same way babies are made," I said with a smile to lighten the mood, but Josh wasn't smiling, he was confused. His big sister was pregnant. The same sister who has never had a boyfriend. The same sister who was too busy to have a boyfriend.

"But how? I'm lost, with who?" I sighed that's where all the talking starts.

Explaining to Josh what I did wasn't easy especially since he started to blame himself for it. He went to his room. He was angry with me but I didn't care because I made it clear that everything I did was to make my little brother happy. To make him have a good life. I didn't want to end up like some of the young guys I see on the road or some of the guys who turned to crime, No I wanted the best for him. When you love someone, you'll do anything to make sure they're happy.
