The Billionaire Impotent son-in-law 182
EOINTHE MOMENT THE WORDS CAME OUT OF ALINE’S MOUTH, I COULD SEEthat she wanted to take them back. Not because she regretted accepting my proposal or didn’t want to live with me, but because blurting it out like that had been like dropping a bomb.Now, we were just waiting for it to explode. I could read it on their faces. I read it on her face too. She realized the impact of what she’d done.And then Freedom turned on me, her expression furious.“What the hell did you do?!” She pointed at me, her clear blue eyes flashing. “How dare you take advantage of her when she was upset! Out on her own for the first time and vulner–”“We’re engaged,” Aline cut her off, clearly deciding to get it all out now that things were in motion for a confrontation. “And I’m pregnant.”Freedom’s jaw dropped, and her face went white. Aline’s jaw tightened. “So, back off.”“What?”The word came out as a whisper, confirming for me that Aline had never spoken to Freedom that way before.“Eoin is m

EOINI’D JUST BEEN READY TO CALL ALINE WHEN A TEXT CAME THROUGHthat she was coming back and we needed to talk. I went back and forth between anxiety and relief while I waited for her. We couldn’t keep doing this.Our lives were linked, and we didn’t have the luxury of waiting until we had our shit figured out before deciding to start a family. The baby was on the way, and no matter what she and I disagreed about, I had no doubt that we were on the same page when it came to being the best parents we could be. To do that, we needed to work this out sooner rather than later.Since I didn’t know if Aline had her key, I unlocked the door and then spent the next fifteen minutes or so pacing from one end of the living room to the other and back again.When she came in, I wanted to just blurt out an apology and explanation, but I also didn’t want to come on too strong. How the fuck did people do this? How did they know what to say or how to say it? I didn’t know the ans
The Billionaire Impotent son-in-law One
Chapter 01Ethan holds the tray of the glass cup and wine in his hands tightly,he releases a deep breath and tries not to let his nervousness get the best of him.He joins the other staff and they all stride down to the meeting hall. He didn’t feel so good about this but what can he do? He’s in charge of serving the section.The hall door opens wide and he leads the staff in with the drinks and foods in their hands.“Welcome to Trump international hotel, Here is the order you place” Ethan bowed his head with a clean handkerchief in his hand at the bottom of the wine bottle.He bent the wine slightly and poured the young man a few.It’s a business meeting going on between five businessmen and women.Among those women is his wife Jones Gracie.He bowed his head and gently put the wine bottle in an ice bowl.Ethan could feel eyes on him but he decided to ignore and focus on his work.He didn’t want to cause trouble for his wife again and he doesn’t want to be looked down on by his wife's b
The Billionaire Impotent son-in-law Two
Chapter two The meeting ended and everyone started taking their leave one after the other, Mr Augustus had his eyes on Gracie all along.She’s a beautiful lady with a great body and he wonders why she would end up with a poor man like Ethan.“Don’t you think this contract should be discussed even more privately between us?” Mr Augustus asks Gracie,taking his lips in cockily.Gracie is packing her things ready to leave too when he said that to her while Ethan is still attending to him. He seems to be making him do that intentionally just so he could humiliate him the more.“What do you mean by that sir?” Gracie asks with a perplexed look, She really doesn't know the level of the man’s shame anymore.“You know what I’m saying Gracie, Don’t act naive” Mr Augustus replied with a mischievous smile while Ethan swallowed his dry throat.He must have thought so low of him to even discuss this right in his presence, there’s no dignity left in him and he wants to piss Ethan off more.“If the c

Chapter 03Ethan stares back at Gracie who is looking at him in his own blood with pity.“You should go to the hospital” Gracie said and started packing her files in her hand.She really wants to get out of being dragged out in disgrace because of Ethan.Ethan remained still looking at her without saying a word, “You need to go to the hospital!” She repeated but he kept looking at her like he’s not in her world.He manages to stand on his feet and pulls off his shirt leaving him in his singlet, “Stop being stubborn Ethan! You have cause so much damage already constituting a nuisance everywhere” Ethan looked at his wife wondering how she could utter those sentences to him, he’s the one who had created a nuisance now? What about her own boss?.Should he have watched him continue disrespecting him just because he’s poor and he’s rich, everyone should have equal rights.The country might have turned upside down and the rich rules but he’s not going to allow that to happen to him.He even

Chapter 04“I do not owe anybody any apology and if someone has to apologise then it should be you, Mr Augustus,” Ethan uttered without hesitation.He didn’t know where this sudden confidence came from either but he’s never going to apologise to someone who should have apologised to him instead.Mr Augustus felt like this guy is really pissing him off yet he liked the fact that he’s one interesting guy, “How much would it take you to bow down to me?” He asks.He didn’t even want to care about the things that have been going on for a while now, right now he’s after him making sure he worships him.Ethan could not believe his ears, he’s going to go this far? “I’m never going to bow to you no matter how much you offer me” He cuts him off.That’s something he won’t do especially with someone like him, he just wants to mock him and make him understand that money is everything.“Are you sure about that?” He chuckles with his hand raised out from his pocket, snapping his finger, his girlfrie

Chapter 05Ethan glanced at Gracie once more but she neglected him like she never saw him at all, he started feeling bad for everything he did that moment.He should have done it but the deed is already done now, “Gracie please” He hurriedly walks to her front.“I’m really sorry about everything please, I should have get angry and talks to them anyhow, I know it’s going to affect the family business yet I did it and I feel bad now”Gracie looked down on him and tries to work away but he held onto her tightly, “please don’t leave like this just hear me out”“See I promise I’m a changed person now, it’s never going to happen and I will keep my anger in control” He apologises over and over again.Gracie on the other hand didn’t know what to say to him, she hurt and didn’t understand why Ethan had to go to such length.The business would be affected badly even more than it is already with the two men he has made any enemy with and now she wonders how she’s supposed to fix it.He’s just to
The Billionaire Impotent son-in-law Six
Chapter 06Ethan walks slowly to the door, he was expecting to see his mother in-law's fierce face staring down at him again and yelling at him.He frowned when Gracie stood by the door staring at him with some expression he can’t seem to understand.“Here” She said, bringing out a card from her bag, staring at him with a little smile.“Why would you give me this?” He frowned, unsure of what to say next exactly, he might not be rich but these days have been working for him well in his profession.“It’s my grandmother's birthday you know right? You can also get yourself some gift from it, the card contains just $50,000” She replied shortly.“You don’t have to do this Gracie, it’s bad enough that I can’t give you all what you want. Why give me this?” He felt bad for his incompetence already.He’s ready to change all that soon and make sure Gracie herself would be surprised and sees him in a new light soon.“I never said it’s for you, I said for my grandmother but just make sure you get

EOINIF I DIDN’T QUIT SNEAKING LOOKS AT ALINE, SHE WAS GOING TO CATCHme and want to know what the hell I was doing. Then I’d be put in the very awkward position of either lying to her and her figuring it out or telling the truth and pissing her off. Neither scenario ended well for me.She’d agreed to tell my parents about our engagement and the baby, and I was going with her tomorrow to spend Christmas Day with her family. Both of those were things that I wanted, but I kept feeling like some other shoe was going to drop and ruin it. That she’d suddenly recognize the fact that she could do so much better than me and decide that, while she might want the baby, she didn’t want me along with it. Or she’d think about how pissed Freedom was going to be when she saw me and realize I wasn’t worth the headache.Death wasn’t the only thing that could take someone away.So, I kept watching her, paying close attention to every expression, to every shift in body language.I’d been worried at Marti

EOINTHE SCENT OF PEACHES WOKE ME UP, AND IT TOOK A MOMENT FOR MEto remember why my bed smelled like fruit. Aline. My eyes opened, my need to reassure myself that she really was here greater than me wanting to sleep a little longer. Once I saw her, I couldn’t look away.We were both on our sides, her back to my front. Her body was curled up, making her look even smaller than she was, and a surge of protectiveness went through me. I slid my hand from her hip to her stomach, wondering when I’d be able to feel the changes to her body, when the baby would start to move, how big it was right now.Was it a boy or girl? Would Aline want to know before or have it be a surprise? When would we be able to tell?I had a lot of research to do, I realized. I wanted to do this right, and that meant not leaving everything up to Aline. Some of the questions colliding together in my brain were the kind that she and I could talk about. I could find the answers for all the others myself. S

EOINI PUT MY PHONE DOWN ON THE COUNTER AND GOT A BEER FROM THEfridge. If I wasn’t driving anywhere tonight, I didn’t need to worry about how much I drank. If I couldn’t be with Aline, taking care of her, getting a little drunk sounded like a good idea. Not so much that I’d be hung over tomorrow, but enough to take the edge off.It was a hell of an edge. Pregnant.I was going to be a father.Maybe. Aline could decide to terminate the pregnancy, but after how her parents had struggled to have kids, I didn’t think that was going to be the route she took. If she did, I’d be there with her, but even as shell-shocked as I was right now, I was hoping she’d have the baby.My baby. Fuck.I needed to sit down, but the few chairs I had were covered with shit from my storage unit. The floor would have to do. I leaned back against my refrigerator and took a long drink.I’d never really thought about being a father. My parents never pressured any of us kids about giving them

EOINI DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHY ALINE WOULD – AGAIN – THINK I DIDN’Twant her. I knew her family was really overprotective of her, but I couldn’t imagine that translating into any type of emotional abuse. She was a certified genius and one of the most selfless people I’d ever met. And she was gorgeous. The fact that she’d been a virgin – barely even kissed if Freedom had been right about that too – confused the shit out of me because she had to have had guys all over her.Just the thought of any other man near her made my arms tighten around her. I still had my hand in her pants, could hear her ragged breathing slow and even out…and I was jealous of men I didn’t even know, men who might not even exist.Men I didn’t want to exist.I wanted to be it for her. The only man who’d ever know what she looked like when she came.Shit.The thought should have terrified me, but it didn’t. Even though I was painfully hard, I was content to stand here, holding her, rubbing her back with my free hand.

ALINEEOIN’S PLACE WAS GORGEOUS. AND HUGE. NOT AT ALL WHAT I’D BEENexpecting, even after he’d told me that he’d leased a condo rather than an apartment. I’d already known that he’d come from a wealthy family, so it wasn’t the cost of a place like this that surprised me. It was more that this didn’t seem like the sort of place that a single, not-quite-thirty, former military man would live. This was more of a…family home.A beautiful one, but I was starting to feel like seeing all of it, being here with him while such a large question was looming over us, was untethering me from reality. I had experienced this strange disconnect only a few times in my life, most of them recently.“Hey.” His hands were on either side of my face, his skin hot against my cheeks. “It’s okay.”I looked up at him, and then his mouth was on mine, firm pressure without being aggressive, and the contact sent a wave of warmth washing over me, pushing away thoughts of anything else.This man could distract

EOINMY BROTHER, ROME, HAD OUTDONE HIMSELF WITH THIS CONDO, ANDI’d made a point of telling him that when he’d met me there before I’d gone to pick up Aline this morning. I hadn’t, however, told him about what was going on.I wanted her to meet my family. I knew that by now, but I didn’t want it to happen with a question mark over our heads. So, until we got those test results, only Alec knew that this was a possibility. No matter what happened, though, I wanted her to see my new place because, at some point, I planned for it to be our place.Some of my tension had left when Aline had told me that she was okay and that the IUD debacle hadn’t been my fault, but it’d been such a small bit that as we moved into Playa Vista, my stomach was one giant knot of nerves. Most of it was because we still didn’t know for certain whether or not she was pregnant, but there was still a part of it that had to do with how she felt about my new home. I wanted her to love it.I took her hand as we w

ALINEI DIDN’T KNOW IF I’D THROWN UP FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO BECAUSE Ihad morning sickness or if it’d been nerves, but either way, it hadn’t been pleasant. I’d been able to force down some crackers, and they’d helped with my upset stomach, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to completely quell my anxiety until I had the results of the blood test. Even if I was pregnant, the waiting was far worse than either answer would be.Eoin seemed to share my sentiments as he arrived nearly twenty minutes early, and apart from the drive, hadn’t been able to sit still. Even in the car, he’d been moving, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel or on his leg, flipping through radio stations, that sort of thing.The latter would have annoyed me normally, but nothing about this situation was normal. And if I were to be entirely honest, I didn’t mind the radio being on because neither of us had said more than a few words, and I preferred the background noise that prevented a total awkward silence betw
