The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

In the early hours of the morning, Lucas woke up and reached for his glass only to find a body beside his bed, he jerked up and found Arya on his bed, he tried to remember what had happened, then he took off the bedsheet and the result was there. He was getting scared of the sight of blood stains on his bed, he screamed which woke Arya up, making her scared, while his bodyguard rushed in to check if he was attacked. “What the hell happened last night?” He screamed at Arya who blushed confirming his fear. “We had sex!” You mean I slept with you, he says with so much disgust.

“You know It takes two to tangle and what happens between us is normal.” I could never touch you if you were the last woman on earth, “please take yourself out of my room, I don’t ever want to set my eyes on you again, this contract is fucking cancelled, I can’t believe you raped me. I know your type, you want me to impregnate you so you can take my money, no that is not true.”

“Just leave before I hurt you.” he screamed. I stood up, limping to my room not really caring about my state, I laid on my bed crying. How can he do this to me, why did I even do that, I was getting annoyed of myself, I am to blame if I had controlled myself this wouldn’t have happened.

It’s been a week and I haven’t left my room. I kept to myself, only going out to eat. I make sure I don’t bump into Lucas, it’s a big mansion anyway so I avoided the places he goes to when he is at home, which is the dinning and his room. I haven’t set my eyes on him, Tobias made sure to visit me every day, when I told him what happened, he was so angry and left my room in a hurry only for him to come back with bruises on his hand. I asked what happened to his hand and he said he punched the wall, I shrugged not bothering about it.

On this particular day I went down to make my breakfast. I found Lucas sitting and taking his coffee. He wasn’t working, well that’s a first but I didn’t care, I didn’t utter a single word, I worked past him not even looking at his face to notice his bruised lips. We kept silent, just passing by each other for three days and I was getting more frustrated on why he hasn’t come to apologise to me and angry when I think about what he said to me. I kept tossing and turning around to sleep but no matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t fall asleep.

After a long time of trying to fall asleep I got up from my bed and decided to head on the terrace to clear my mind and get some fresh air. When I got to the entrance of the terrace, I noticed the door was open, thinking it was one of the maids or bodyguards roaming around. I entered the terrace area only to see a tall figure standing near the railing, who else would be standing and making a conference call if not Lucas. I tried to leave before he could notice me but I heard him saying I love you too.

Whoa, I thought he was making a conference call or something since he had an earpiece on so I couldn’t hear or see who he was speaking to. Does he have a girlfriend? Who could she be? Maybe it was the girl from the party, I didn’t notice he had turned and walked closer to me until he waved at me getting my attention, “um why are you waving your hand at my face?” have been calling your name but you never answered.

I didn’t know someone was here, I will just go back now, sorry for bothering your call, I said hurriedly and turned to leave. No worries, you can stay here if you want. I am done here. His deep masculine voice came from behind me, stopping me from moving, not until I heard him walk past me that I woke from my shock, what the hell is wrong with me.

“Wait, you have a daughter?” Why didn’t you tell me he has a daughter? I glared at Tobias and Fernando, who were shocked as I was. “I swear he did not tell me.” did he tell you Tobias asked Fernando, no, he didn’t, we are just as surprised as you are alright. “Can you explain to us, at least who is her mother? How old is she? She looks so much like you?” She is Regina’s kid. Regina? You mean your psycho girlfriend from high school. You had a girlfriend? I and Fernando asked at once.

“No, she is not my girlfriend, more like a stalker and yes it is” Tobias, “do you have a problem with it?” Lucas did you forget what she did to Rebecca when she saw you guys talking. Stop talking, I know, and for your information, she is dead, huh? Regina is dead okay, she died of leukaemia, when she first told me about the baby I did not believe her because I can vividly remember not touching her throughout high school, only for her to tell me she drugged me and slept with me, I still don’t understand why I did not feel anything though.

I took the test and found out she was mine. I avoided picking her calls for months but I went to visit her and get to know my daughter. She wanted me to take her home, introduce her to my family but I refused. She was safer with her than with my parents. I know my parents would be disappointed, and you know how much I hate children but when I saw her, I knew I wanted to be in my daughter’s life as long as she wants me but from faraway. I visit her as much as I can.

So when you said you were going for a big meeting you were actually with her? He nods. Why didn’t you tell us, we would have helped you, I wanted to but I didn’t know how you would take it, I know you won’t believe me because in your eyes am so perfect and I can never make a baby from a psycho like Regina, so I had my doubt, but Regina is gone and am the only family she has unless I want her to be taken to the orphanage and be adopted by someone else. You wanted to do it didn’t you? guilty, I did but I changed

my mind.

“How long have you found out she was your child?” Two years now and you kept that from us for that long, how could you dude? Why bring her in now when you know you are always busy with work. Well, I thought since Arya is here she could watch over her, do I look like your nanny, I have work to do so get a nanny or rather take her to your parents or something. I know, I know, I don’t trust her with my parents the way I trust you with her he said staring at my eyes, well this is awkward, I just nodded not knowing what to say.

“Are you ready to meet her?” Yes, bring her in. Hey princess, come say hello to my friends, this is uncle Tobias, Fernando and Arya. Say hello to them, she was still hiding behind her father, I think she is shy. I went closer and smiled at her which she returned with a shy smile. Am Arya and Tobias but as your father said uncle Tobias which is too much just call me uncle T. Father is this the friend you said always dyed his hair yellow? Yes, baby, he is the one. He looks funny with the purple dye on his hair. I couldn’t hold it in. We laughed at Tobias who pouted and whined saying he looks handsome with his purple hair, that we were just jealous of his hair.

“What is your name dear?” “Honey” she said in her baby voice and looked up with questions filled eyes “what is it Honey?” I asked her as she stopped pulling her cloth which I notice she does when she is nervous.

She didn’t say anything then I asked again “do you want to ask me something?’ she nodded, go ahead dear I told her with an assuring smile, encouraging her to speak up. She was silent for a few seconds but then she asked something I also don’t know how to answer.

“Are you my new mommy?” How do you answer a little girl who looks at you with such hopeful eyes? I gulped at her question “what do I say to her? Am I her mother?” She kept looking at me waiting for my reply. I tried to look around for help but no one was saying anything. I thought about it very hard then decided to ask her if she wants me to be her mother, was I doing the right thing though. I sigh and smile at her “do you want me to be your mother?” I asked her, she looked like she was thinking about this, which made me sad for not considering she just lost her mother, but she said something that lifted my mood “yes, I want you to be my mother” she replied shyly. Awn you guys are so cute, Tobias says wiping fake tears from his eyes, I looked at Lucas and saw how he clenched his hands, did I say something bad.

Arya, can I see you in my office…
