Baby With The Billionaire novel Chapter 12

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."
