The Billionaire's Wanted✔[#1 Xerxes Kings]

Chapter 19: The house

ARIELA'S POV

I can see mixed emotions in his tantalizing black eyes. The enormous emotion of unspoken anger, happiness, joy, excitement, and annoyance. It's like he's been battling himself either to scold me or remain silent.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked calmly once again, directly looking at me with an angry stare, covering those other emotions I can read from his eyes.

I have no clear idea why he would look at me like that, making me want to cry all of a sudden. Ever since the start of my pregnancy, I start getting emotional to the max that I cannot control my feelings.

My eyeballs begin to water.

He should have noticed my eyes near to crying so his facial expression changed softly.

I rubbed my eyes to clean away my unshed tears. Not long after, he comes to me and sits beside me, touching me gently.

"Don't cry. Please don't cry. I hate to see you crying. It tears my heart apart." he started, pulling me to his hard chest, sniffing my hair. "I'm sorry. I just want to ask you why you didn't tell me about our baby sooner? I should have acted more gently to you and pick you about your belly."

I want to keep my baby for me but the way he speaks to me makes my heart eager to tell him about it. It's up to him what he's gonna do now.

"I'm so sorry. I thought you were having someone else to give you a child and I don't want to be on your way. I am just the big sister of the criminal who killed your family. And I don't to be selfish---" Tears were running down my cheeks and before I could utter the next word, he gently kissed my lips, pushing me down softly on the bed supporting my back.

"It's all over now. I can't go around impregnating multiple women for an heir. It's just you now. Just refrain from acting jealous every time, it's not good for the baby." He whispered, cupping the sensitive thing between my legs.

My hormones and my emotions came betraying me again. His hand traveling my belly bump, rubbing it gently.

"It's only natural to make love with my wife in the past but now, it's you. You're the woman carrying my baby now, Kitten," He stated, delicately positioning himself on top of me while removing my clothes.
"I'll be gentle this time. Our baby can understand what's going on."

Then he shoves his hard shaft inside me.

"So..." He started, rubbing my slightly bumped belly in circles. "How far are you?"

"I got it measured, I'm three months long. Exactly that night we first had sex." I replied with a wide smile, rubbing his silky black hair.

As silence hit the atmosphere, he slowly moves to level his face on my belly, kissing it and rubbing it at the same time. His handsome complexion shows his pain and his happiness along with the longing.

I watch him change his expression from longing to joy. I can feel it from him, coming in waves the pain of losing your child unexpectedly and it's my fault and Rafael's. Speaking of Rafael...

"Thank you for keeping your promise. Raphael is out of jail. Thank you so much." I whispered, playing with his hair.

He glances at me, smiling gently. He nods his head and kisses my bump again.

"Of course. Now you fulfill yours." He stated and brushed his nose on my bump.
"Hello, there baby! Daddy is so excited to see you! I can't wait for you to come out so we can go travel across the globe." He's like a little kid talking to my belly. "Stay there and grow healthy until you come out okay?"

I chuckled at his uncalled childish behavior. I nearly cringe. I hope he won't bring another annoying subject again to ruin the moment.

"You'll marry me and that's final," he stated, kissing my forehead. Is he that desperate to have children to the point of settling down? How about marrying someone of his own choice? Not me who threw herself carelessly at him?

I want to hear those three precious words from him. It may be one-sided love but is that enough to make the marriage work? Judging from his reaction to the baby, he wants the baby, not me. It pains me thinking about it.

I bow my head, slowly shaking my head.
As I expected, his eyes boomed in anger.

"What? You don't want to marry me?!" He asked in inflaming anger, rising from the bed. Am I just playing hard to get or I'm just an idiot?

"Marriage is not for me---"

"Say that again and I will fvck you here senselessly! You're an attorney but your power is nothing compared to mine. You will marry me, you like it or not." He roared, pulling me to him as I land on top of him. His kisses are harsh but not harsh enough to hurt me.

I tried pushing his face away but only to have him pull me closer, punishing my swollen lips with hard kisses.

"Kiss me back future wife." He whispered, gripping my waist to keep me in place. He's testing me and my lips are hurting. I harshly kissed him back with the same intensity and force, hurting his lips like what he did to me.

His tongue against my tongue, my teeth against his teeth, and our mouth eating each other. He tilted his head to lick my cheek while gripping my butt cheeks.

We stopped, breathing after separating our mouths to access fresh air. It's like we are running after our breath.

Not for long, he fell asleep on my chest, hugging my belly. I slowly remove his tangled arms around me and wear my clothes, borrowing one of his boxers.

Before leaving, I kissed him on his forehead. "I'll be back."

I need to clear my head and ask some advice from my family if marriage suits me. The only thing I'm waiting for is for Xerxes to say he loves me too. I want to but I don't want to feel the pain of hurting and betrayal. I'm afraid to get hurt.

One of Xerxes's drivers drives me back to my house. I thanked him when I reached the house.

The house is silent. I knock several times on the door but no one is coming out.
"Rafael? Anyone?" I called but no one replied.

I didn't bring my phone with me so I walk back to the car.

"Can I borrow your phone?" I nervously asked the driver. He handed me the phone after cupping his pockets.

It's a good thing to remember your brother's phone number. After a few rings, he answered. Thank goodness.

"Yes? Who's this?" I can hear Rafael's familiar voice on the other line.

"It's me your big sister. Where are you, Rafael? Why can't I find anyone in our house?" I asked, confused.

"We just wake up this morning to find you nowhere. Where did you go?" He asked, not answering my question.

"The baby's father fetch me. Now, where are you and the others?" I strictly asked this time.

"Uh... well..." Judging from his tone, he doesn't want to say anything. As if he's hesitating to tell me something.

"Rafael Montemayor. Tell me."

"I-It's Mr. Xerxes K-Kings. He bought the house," he replied with a shaky voice.

What? Xerxes?
