CEO's Dilemma

CHAPTER TWELVE

"You want reasons?" I ask angrily "There's a whole list!"

"Let's get you out of here" Asher urges.

"Let her talk, loser!" Seven screams but Asher just ignores him and leads me out of my bedroom with a protective arm wrapped around my waist while holding my bag with the free hand.

Once we get outside, he helps me get into the car and straps on my seatbelt. He then walks over to the driver's seat. Once he's settled, he ignites the car engine and drives out of the premises. Seven can remain in there and argue with the bed and couches for all I care. What I need right now is some peace and I know that is exactly what I will get at Asher's house.

"Are you alright?" Asher asks.

"I guess I am"

"You know I can stop him from seeing you right?"

" I know Asher but it's fine, really"

Asher is a badass lawyer, it will take him less than no time to file a restraining order against Seven, but I don't want that.

"Wifey you were crying back there. The guy does nothing but stress you out all the time and I'm not going to condone that anymore, especially now that you are pregnant. I don't want anything to go wrong, not with you, not with that child you are carrying." He says calmly but firmly and without warning, the tears in my start rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. I hate myself for doing this to Asher. He deserves more. For heaven's sake why does he keep loving after all what I have done and I'm still doing to him?

Just why?

"Asher, why are you doing this?" I ask with a croaky voice as I wipe my tears away.

"Doing what?"

"Loving and caring for me, why?"

"Because I can't stop"

"Even after seeing me date all those guys, even after I've gotten pregnant for another man?"

"Get this straight Luna, for as long as I'm alive, I will only give up on you when I see you walking down the aisle to another man, but until then, I will still be fighting to be that man" He confesses with his gaze focused on the road.

"Really?"

"Honestly. Now get some rest, when we get home I will let you know"

He instructs and I quietly rest my head on the headrest. Within a few minutes, I doze off.

ACE'S POV

The only person I have on my mind throughout my ride back home is Luna. Ever since I found out about the pregnancy I haven't been myself. I am nervous as fuck, in a few months time I am going to be a father. As much as I am excited about the idea, I am also nervous. I want to be nothing but a good father to that baby and that is why I am going to take very good care of Luna. I don't know but for some odd reason I am more excited because an amazing girl like her is the one carrying my child. I don't really know her too well but I can tell from the little time we have spent together that she's a nice girl, she is smart, delicate and has an overwhelming sense of humor. I look forward to embarking on this journey with her.

Meanwhile, in the meantime I have a damsel in distress in my bedroom and that is no one else but my fiancé, Sophia. She called a while ago demanding to know why I didn't show up at our lunch date earlier today. I had totally forgotten about it because I was watching Luna sleep.

To be very honest, even if I had remembered, I still wouldn't have shown up. Nothing could have made me leave Luna all alone in that hospital.

I lazily ascend the stairs leading to my bedroom thinking of how to go about telling Sophia about the latest developments. She is going to throw a tantrum and then proceed to tell our mothers and then our fathers will eventually know and things are going to get fucked up because both our mothers have been rooting for us to be together since we were babies. The news of me having a baby with another woman will not sound very pleasant to them.

But there is nothing they can do. They will only have to learn to accept it. This is my life we are talking about here, my unborn child and the mother of my unborn child. I can't lose any of them.

Once I open the door to my bedroom, I spot Sophia sitting on the couch with a not so welcome expression masked on her face. She is damn mad.

"Hey baby" I greet as I try to kiss her but she turns her face away. "Right" I say as I grit my teeth and proceed to take off my shirt.

"Where have you been?" She asks, rising from the couch.

"It's a long story and I am ready to tell you all of it if you are going to sit down, relax and listen"

"It had better be a good explanation as to why you didn't show up at our lunch date"

"I promise it is, just sit down and listen"

"Okay" She sits down with a suspicious look on her face.

She is not going to like this.

"Where is your tux Jacket? You never take it off"

"It got soiled so I had to take it off. It's in my car"

"You never soil your jacket, you are always extra cautious with your clothes"

"Trust me I didn't see this one coming. It was unavoidable" I say with a tiny smile. Luna puking on my jacket was the most adorable thing that happened to me today. I swear I wasn't mad, on the contrary I was overjoyed and I badly wanted to hug her and thank her so many times for keeping that baby.

I wouldn't mind if she puked on me over and over again.

"O...Kay" She says, still giving me a suspicious look.

"Actually... the jacket soiling is part of what I am about to say" I say quietly.

"You know I have a really bad feeling about this." she says agitated.

"Sophia calm down, yeah it will not be very pleasant to you but I need you to understand me"

"It's about another girl right?" She spits out furiously.

"Sophia..." I start to talk but she cuts me off.

"Just say it already, you have cheated on me, right? That's why you don't have some of your clothes on and you have this strange feminine perfume all over you. You were busy having sex with another girl all day, right?"
