Entangled with a baby Chapter 1 Daenerys Targaryen

"Mum, Starry meet my girlfriend." King nervously introduced his mother and to Laura as they entered the hospital room where she was admitted.

Your girlfriend ??? Laura exclaimed inwardly.

"Your girlfriend?" This time around it was the doctor shooting him a quizzical look.

"I never knew you had a girlfriend. In fact you never mentioned." Dr Narcos cheerily added.

Laura's whole head was spiraling out of control.

This cannot be happening. Not with everyone here! He's going to find out she was pregnant. laura thought.

Few hours ago she was rushed into the hospital after she collapsed in his house, the doctor was about speaking to them as it seemed like there was a problem when King's Mother and Grandad walked in. Apparently they were to come visit him that morning but since he called to say he was at the hospital for an emergency, they decided to meet him at the hospital instead.

She hurriedly turned to look at her Uncle sitting by the side of her bed with a scowled expression. "Dad, I have no idea what he's talking about." Laura shook her head hard.

Her cousin Maddie who sat by the other side of the bed just couldn't mask her amusement. She cleared her throat and got up to greet them quickly as she extended her hand.

"Hello, I'm Maddie. Her cousin. And that's my dad, her uncle." she smiled and pointed at the man talking in hushed tones with Laura.

Maddie gave Laura a pinch under the cover prompting her to say something.

"Oh uhm hi good morning Mrs McGorritth..." Laura forced a casual tone before casting a warning glance at her cousin.

King's mother walked up to her on the bed and cuts her off immediately "Darling, we've seen you around the house a few times Yes?" She turned to Starry, for a confirmation who in turn eagerly nodded.

"And please call me Lana, It's so nice officially meeting you. But not in this state of course." King's mum added with a grin.

King who had been pacing the room began to speak, a little breathless this time. "So, Doctor? You were about saying?. Can you make this quick I have somewhere to be."

Laura couldn't help but stare at him with wet eyes.

"You said miss Ferguson here is your girlfriend and well..?" The doctor asked again more cautiously. King gave an off hand shrug before interrupting "And the point?" He whipped out his phone to end a disturbing call.

The doctor looking totally baffled turned to ask Laura who immediately pretended to feign similar nonchalance with a little shrug.

"Great. Since everyone is here then, this should be a cause for celebration." Dr Narcos said with a silvery laugh.

No.No.No.NO.

Laura, practically expiring out and trying to stay calm began to cough out loud as she reached for Maddie with pleading eyes.

"Uhmm Doc, can we not do this now?. Maybe later? Maybe never?" Maddie interjected in a rush.

"Oh? With the situation of things I actually do think now's the best time." he insisted.

"Is she sick? Dying?" King echoed impatiently.

"Dying? No not at all." Dr. Narcos chuckled as he stepped forward to pick up his stethoscope on the table.

"On the contrary. Laura is pregnant." The words came tumbling out.

There was a pregnant silence.

The doctor was the first to speak, his face creased with excitement "Congratulations to you both."

He walked over to where King stood stiffened by the door to give him a pat on the shoulder- "And king, I'm so happy for you. Here comes your silver lining at last." He said.

King shot Laura a doubtful look.

Why did she have to faint this morning!.

Before leaving, Dr. Narcos spoke for another twenty minutes as he wanted to address Laura on the risk her fibroid could pose to her and the pregnancy. All semblance of nonchalance vanished from Laura as she began to wail internally.

And the man in question has been acting cold towards me ever since that night. I'm beyond fucked. laura agonized.

Dabbing the sweats all over her face her uncle, Dave asked gently "Lau, are you just going to stay quiet?"

Laura who was momentarily speechless, fighting the lump in her throat and the tears that threatened to pour down, she stole a glance at King as he dragged his Mum and Grandad to the other side of the room to talk.

She couldn't quite make out what they were arguing about but it was getting heated and King seemed to be clenching his fists and his jaw rather too hard. His grandad, Starry kept on trying to get him to calm down but he wasn't having any of it.

And just before his mum could stop him, he stomped out of the room not even bothering to give Laura a look.

Shit.

"Lulu you don't have to cry. Please don't cry my honey." Maddie pleaded as she moved closer to her, wiping the tears that were now falling freely.

"I'm so sorry dad. I'm so sorry. I- it wasn't supposed to end like this- I'm sorry." Facing Dave who couldn't mask his perturbed look any longer, Laura managed to say with her cracking voice.

Tightening his arm around her, Dave replied encouragingly "I'm not all that mad at you Lulu, we'll find a way around all this. I'll talk to him."

"My darling, please please stop crying." Lana rushed over to Laura, wiping the tears on her cheeks.

"You have no idea how much of a blessing this is to him. I don't even see why you should be sad." She said with a polite smile.

"Laura, I think it's best I officially welcome you to the family." Starry's mouth curved into a smile as he spoke.

Wait.

"Well if it's that much of a good thing, why did he have to react like a mad cow?" Maddie snarred as she countered.

"He couldn't even say a thing. He just stomped out like a mad cow." She added.

Way to go Madds. Way to go.

"Darling, I know the girlfriend stunt he pulled earlier on was fake. So I don't expect you to play the part. I love you already Laura, you really have no need to be worried." Lana assured.

"And for the fibroid?.."

"I uhmm always knew I had it." Laura admitted as she began to sit up on the bed.

"Dr. Narcos has been a long time family doctor, so you're in safe hands." Lana commented.

"It's just .. Lu, I think we should have told him earlier on." Maddie worried.

"You both were already aware of the pregnancy?" Dave demanded almost angrily.

Laura could only offer an affirming nod before the door swung open and a fuming King walked in.

"You knew? You knew about this?" King exclaimed as he hopped with frustration.

He gave a low laugh before finding more words "So you were going to keep this away from me? And then what? Blackmail me?"

Stunned at the hurtful accusation Laura yelled back at him- "Blackmail you???"

"Well why didn't you say anything for the past one week! Instead of pulling that dramatic stunt at my house. Are you that desperate?"

"Like telling you would have changed anything?" She asked arguably, challenging him to dispute the fact in the presence of everyone.

Stunt?

"And for fuck sake! I slumped! I fainted! I collapsed! I didn't pull any stunt." she barked back not being able to hold her tears any longer.

King took a long pause glaring hard at her, his eyes piercing deep into her blue eyes contemplating if he should apologize for the unruly behavior since they had sex. At some point he chastised himself for being unfair but his mind always somehow drifted back to what he heard.

Even at that, right now he just wanted to hold her tight, kiss her face and comfort her in the most loving way he could.

"Right." He said before walking out again. Slamming the door.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
