Billionaire Baby Daddy novel Chapter 4

I go straight to my shitty apartment. “You’ll be mine Isabella Styles.” His voice is now haunting me! Why would he want someone like me? I change into a large t-shirt and some yellow sweats.

‘I really need a job.’ I tell myself as I think of what to eat. I make some spaghetti with lots of cheese. Looks like I’m going for cheese then. Since I know I wouldn’t cook again till the next day I decide to make lots so that I would just heat it up later. That’s pretty much how I always survive. I suddenly feel some pain in my lower abdomen but I ignore it. Maybe it is just my periods. They have been a week late after all.

I eat my food and decide to go buy some pads. It’s always good to be prepared after all. I put my hair in a messy ponytail and take my beaded Masaai sandals that my best friend Harry got me on one of his travels to Africa. He is a photographer who travels everywhere. I have known him through my adoptive dad. He is his nephew who I love like a brother and treated him as my best friend. Yeah I know. I have a boring and no social life.

I get the pads that I use and some ice cream that I instantly want. I am running low on money and I know I have to pay the bills and rent but I really can’t resist taking it. I try ignoring it twice when I go to pay for my pads but go back for it until I just decide to take it. Screw bills and rent. I really want an ice cream right now.

“Oh My. You finally took it.” The middle aged woman gives me an amused laugh. I can’t help but blush at how stupid I might have seemed like. “No need to be embarrassed dear. Cravings are normal for pregnancies." WHAT!

“I’m not pregnant. In fact I came for these.” I show her the pads and she gave me an apologetic smile. “Oh dear! This is the first time I’m wrong. Sorry to assume.” I only give her a small smile as I take the packed bag after paying.

I feel the pain in my stomach again and I hurry to the house to get some painkillers but while I try opening the door I see a lot of blood. I touch the blood and raised it. No. period blood doesn’t look like this. The pain came back and I clutched my stomach painfully.

I let out a small cry and the next minute I feel someone’s hand trying to pick me up even though I tried to protest. I am placed inside a car and I feel it move but I am in so much pain to question the person.

After a while that feels like days to me I see some nurses trying to get me out of the car to a stretcher and that was when I allow the blackness to consume me.

I hear some beeping sound next to me. I try opening my eyes but the room is filled with bright light that I have to shut my eyes first before trying to try open them again. After my mission was successful, I notice I am in a white room. A hospital room. I have different tubes stuck to my body. I look around and see a man sleeping on the couch that doesn’t seem too comfortable.

A nurse comes in with some medicine and syringes on a tray. “I see you are awake. How do you feel? Any pain?” I try talking but my throat seems dry which she notices and pours some water into a cup with straw and puts the straw in front of my lips. “This happens since you haven’t been talking for a day or eaten anything.” So I've been here for a day. I nod at her. She seems nice.
