Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

Dylan’s expression was readable. One could clearly see the fear and anxiety in his eyes. It was the first time they had seen him this way. He had always acted strong, befitting his status as the first son of a powerful family. He was trying to get it together for Sandy’s sake.

“Ah!” She suddenly cried out in pain, her eyes squeezed shut. Dylan looked as if he were experiencing the same pain.

The sun had set, but the baby was still not out yet. Dylan was in the delivery room with his wife. She had to come out to walk through the hallway, so they all saw the amount of pain she was in.

“How come the baby isn’t out yet. Is it normal? Does it usually take this long?”

Jared asked when one of the nurses came outside.

“Don’t worry sir. We have everything under control”

“At least, you should tell us know what is going on in there!” Old Smith roared. The nurse flinched in fright, moving away from the scary old man. Mrs Smith quickly dismissed her. She wasn’t sure if the old man was worried about Sandy or the baby, or maybe both. She had earlier told him to go back home to rest, but he was adamant. She didn’t dare to mention his health, or he was going to explode.

Inside the delivery room, Sandy was exhausted. She didn’t know how long since she had been in labour.

One of the nurses wiped the sweat on her forehead and neck. Dylan’s appearance wasn’t any better. He looked disheveled. His tie was gone and few buttons of his shirt were opened.

She panted and glared at him.

“This is all your fault, you -ah!” She screamed. A sharp pain shot through her again and scattered all her thoughts. The duration between the contractions reduced.

“It’s time sir”

“Time for what”

“It’s time for her to deliver” The female doctor replied respectfully.

The rest of the medical staff immediately went into action, surrounding the lower half of her body.

“Madam, the baby will be out soon. I want you to be calm. Breathe and push, okay?”

She nodded weakly, but she wasn’t sure she could do that. Anyone could see the fear in her eyes.

She suddenly felt a warm, large hand hold her cold, small ones. Dylan smiled at her.

“I’m always here. I won’t leave you. Never”

She nodded and squeezed his hand. She could feel it. The pain was now coming in derf, powerful waves.

“Aaaahhh!”

The pain was unimaginable. Tears spilled out of her as she struggled to breathe. She thought she had prepared herself beforehand, but the pain was nothing like she had ever experienced before.

“Madam, you can’t close your eyes! You have to stay awake!” The doctor cautioned loudly.

Sandy woke up from a momentary loss of consciousness.

She didn’t even realize she had passed out for a few seconds.

“Dylan, you bastard!!!!” She cursed as she struggled to push.

“Yes. Yes, I know. It’s all my fault”

“I’m going to kill you!” She threatened.

“Ye-, we’ll talk about that later”

“Fuck you. Aaaarrrghhh!”

She felt like all the veins in her were going to pop from the strain.

“I can see the head!” The doctor announced excitedly.

“Just a little more” she breathed loudly, gathering all the strength she had left In her and pushed with a scream.

“Yes! The baby is out”

Moments later, a baby’s cry filled the room.

“Congratulations madam, you now have a bouncing baby boy”

She placed the scrawny infant on Sandy’s chest. She smiled despite the fatigue.

“It’s a boy, Dylan. You now have a son”

He shook his head. “We now have a son. Thank you so much”

She smiled as her slowly closed.

“I love you” he mumbled, but he doubted she heard that.

It was already almost midnight when the people outside heard the news.

“I can’t believe I finally have a grandson. How is Sandy?”

Mrs Smith asked.

“She fell asleep” Dylan replied.

She nodded it was expecting. She glanced at her son and felt a little sorry for him.

“Should you not get some rest too?”

He shook his head. She didn’t bother to convince him.

“How about the baby?”

“The nurses are cleaning him up. You can’t see him tonight”

“What do you mean? Is there any problem?”

“It was the doctor’s instructions. You can all sleep here tonight and meet the baby tomorrow”

“I’m not. I’m leaving” Old Smith stood up, and wobbled a bit, but Mrs Smith stabilized him.

“You can just sleep here tonight. You look exhausted”

“I said I’m not!” He bellowed.

Valerie flinched. The old man sure had a bad temper so she made sure to stay out of his sight.

Mrs Smith wasn’t ready to leave so she beckoned to her husband to take his father home.

Jared approached her.

“Are you going home?”

“Of course not. I’m staying here with Sandy. One more thing, I may not be able to come to work tomorrow. Is that okay?”

He nodded.

“You are leaving?”

“Yes. I have somethings to finish up. I’ll return tomorrow”

She nodded. “Goodnight”

“Goodnight”

She stared at his back until he was out of sight and turned only to see a lady staring straight at her. She felt the lady was familiar, she just couldn’t remember where and when she saw her. Despite seeing her, the lady didn’t look away but kept staring. It made Valerie really uncomfortable so she left the premises.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

In the end, only three people remained. Valerie, Mrs Smith and Sandy’s mother.

Morning came and after receiving a message from the butler that they all had to have breakfast before coming up, they hurriedly finished their breakfast and headed to the delivery room which had been transformed into a large comfy bedroom overnight.

They all saw Sandy in bed, cradling the tiny infant in her arms.

“Oh, honey. You look so pale. It must have been so tiring” Mrs Smith went to give her a gentle hug. Anyone at that moment would think she was her mother.

“My cute little grandson” she played with his cheeks. “He’s so handsome” she gushed over him and finally let Sandy’s mother take over.

Valerie patiently waited at the back.

She transferred the baby to the cot as the mothers continued to gush over him.

“Come here”

Sandy opened her arms.

“Am I not going to hurt you?”

She shook her head and Valerie finally embraced her cautiously.

“Thank you so much”

“We should tell Layla about it”

Sandy nodded.

“I’ll call her and-” she was distracted by the new arrivals.

Jane, Old Smith, Jared, his father, and the weird lady. They were all here.

Jared approached her immediately, despite her eye signals telling him to back off. His whole family was here. He didn’t listen and came to stand before her.

“Did you sleep well?”

She forced a tight smile, making some space between them before his family misunderstood. Luckily, the men’s attention were on the baby. She could feel Jane glaring daggers at her.

“You should take a look at your nephew” she sidestepped him and moved far away from him.

She left the room only to realize someone had followed her.

“I told you to-”

She halted when she realized it wasn’t him, but the weird lady.

Amelia smiled. “You thought I was him?”

“Why did you follow me?”

Amelia silently walked towards her. “We meet again”

“Have we met before?”

“Of course. I should return something that belongs to you”
