Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 14

Phoebe Walkman had come to Lake District from the city of London. She had had a job there as Sales Representative in a textile company.

She had a steady boyfriend, Richard who was not employed. They had known each other for a very long time and had been lovers for just as long.

She had been the one footing the bills and caring for him. In fact she did everything for him but found out that he was not as faithful as he claimed to be. He was busy milking other girls like her. promising to love them for all eternity.

She confronted him one day after her friends had told her of his activities.

'Richard baby', said started one day after a steamy love making.

'Hmmmm?' he murmured obviously sated.

'Carol and her friends told me something the other day but I refused to believe them because I know my man and my man could never do what they had accused him of'.

Richard could not believe that Carol had gone ahead and told Phoebe about him.

'And what may that be?'

'She said something about having caught you with different girls at different occasions and that you had seen her as well but had seemed unremorseful. She Confronted you on a couple of occasions and you asked her to mind her own business'.

'Really? And what was your reaction to that?' Richard asked. His feelings for her had grown cold. He had other options now. He knew he was lazy but his goodlooks and charisma had always attracted the ladies to him and made them make alot of sacrifices for him. He could afford to let Phoebe go. There were others in the line. Yet he still wanted to play his cards well. Because a hundred geese laying the golden egg was better than just a few but he would sooner get rid of anyone of them that wanted to burst his bubble.

'I told her that I didn't believe her and that you could never do such a thing to me. We both have come a long way. But she insisted I ask you about it. I am just trying to fulfill all righteousness. Tell me sincerely, why would Carol lie about this? She's never done this before'.

Richard decided to play Carol game against her.

'What you don't know baby is that Carol has been jealous of our relationship for a very long time now. She has wanted me to herself. I can't tell you everything. It is just that I like her alot because she is your friend. But I could not betray you that way and definitely not with your friend but she would not have it. So, if she sees me speaking to a girl, she assumes the worst.

She's even asked me why I would speak to another girl when she was there ready for me but I had ignored her,thinking that my own baby Phoebe does not even stop me from socializing, how would this jealous wench do that?

I did not know that the matter was as serious as this. Now it is not enough that she wants us to be secret lovers,she now wants to come between us,drive a wedge, so that she can be with me without interruptions. How disloyal can this girl be? Richard wailed.
