I stood outside his door, suddenly nervous. I knocked and heard a gruff 'come in' before stepping into his office. He didn't even look up at me when I entered. "I'm pregnant." I blurted out. He continued writing, not paying me any mind. "Take off whenever you feel like it, then. Lisa will escort you out." I reeled back, anger creeping up my spine. He thought I was one of his employees. "It's yours." I stated and that's when he froze, looking up at me for the first time since I'd entered the room. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arielle Fortunato is the heir and daughter to the famous Italian billionaire, Antonio Fortunato. She wants for nothing and the press says the line of suitors she's dismissed is almost as long as the ones she entertains, which is false. Daxton King is the CEO and founder of Kingston, Inc. He's an overachieving billionaire and a sought after bachelor. The press says he will sleep with anything that walks and he always, ALWAYS uses protection. So when Arielle Fortunato struts into his office, claiming to be carrying his baby, he automatically assumes she's after his money.
