Billionaire Baby Daddy novel (Abigail and Mason) novel Chapter 23

It's a month since I heard from Sydney. A month since I started despising that manipulative man. A month since I experienced something close to a heartbreak. I don't know if I should call it a heartbreak since I can't say I loved Sydney but my heart was broken. I felt betrayed. I felt used. Sometimes I miss him but I have to move on. I accepted my baby won't have the picture perfect family for him. Yeah, I'm having a boy. A boy I would call mine.

Harry's bedroom door opens and a sleepy Amelia comes out. She looks tired in the morning and I try as much not to think why. She's dressed in short pajama shorts and a matching top written on 'NIGHTY NIGHTY'. She looks cute. What makes me wonder is the choker on her neck. Why would she sleep with it. It has red rubies on it and a word I can't read engraved on it. Okay! It looks so beautiful though.

"Morning. Coffee." She mumbles and heads towards the coffee maker.

"Morning." I laugh and continue cooking pancakes. The morning is the same as others. Pregnancy is giving me a stage one case of insomnia. If there stages that is. The baby kicks a lot making me stay awake and talk to him. I sleep late and wake up earlier than Harry and Amelia.

"Any plans today?" Amelia asks. I flip the pancake before turning to her.

"I've watched too many movies so I'm going to start reading novels. I'm heading to the bookstore later." Amelia nods at this as she sips her coffee.

Since I came from the hospital Amelia has tried talking to me saying that I should talk to Sydney. I asked her why she sided with him but she'd only say 'maybe there's more to the story.' Yeah, right. As if that made any sense. They say fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Is it?

"Pancakes." Harry says in a childish voice as he comes to the kitchen and hugs me. "I swear I'll marry you." He gives me a sloppy kiss making me cringe.

"Ewww. HARRY!" I hit his head with the back of my hand. At first I would wonder if Amelia was okay when Harry said words and did things that would make his girlfriend jealous but she never seemed bothered by it. I even thought she didn't really like Harry. As a good friend, I asked Harry about it. He only said there relationship was based on trust before anything else. They are so happy together.

An hour later both Amelia and Harry leave for work leaving me alone. I take a shower and wear a blue t-shirt dress and white baseball shoes then take a walk to the bookstore. I love walking. It's some sort of stress reliever. People watching and laughing at things they do when they think no one's watching.

I get into the bookstore thirteen minutes later and start randomly walking. When I reach the business section I see some titles I had seen in Sydney's office. Maybe I should get them. I need to learn more about business anyway. I take two of them and head to the sci-fi section and also take a couple. By the time I'm done I feel so exhausted. Maybe I should start reading from here as I rest.

Ten minutes into the sci-fi, a chair in front of me is scrapped against the floor making me glare at the suit clad man. He seems familiar and has a grin as he sits. Can't a girl get some alone time here? I continue reading completely ignoring him.

"Interesting collection." The man says as he eyes my books on the desk. I continue ignoring him. Hope he takes a hint. "Hello? Someone there?" Nope. Not answering. "Ms Styles. You there?" I tense at this. My eyes immediately snap to him as he starts laughing. How does he know my name? A stalker maybe? But he doesn't seem like it. He looks so familiar though.
