Billionaire's Baby's Mother

Jessica's POV Right before me was a dress debate. Confused on what to wear, I opted to look simple in my blue jeans with my designer's white shirt and a sleek white Snickers . As I put on my white face cap, my mind flashed back to my adversaries, depts that I've accumulated, my expired rent, My parents death. I sigh heavily as I bounce back on my bed. ‘How am I gonna pay off these depths, how much do I earn, I can barely feed myself’ I thought with my head bent slightly, my hands on my jaw, I thought, choking back tears in the back of my eyes. “Hey, Jessy.” Abigail, my colleague, called my attention, snapping me back to reality. “We need to get going Jess.” she said calmly, standing before me, looking with intense concern. Abigail, my dark skinned colleague, she's five feet tall and has dazzling Blue eyes. She spent the night at my house, unfortunately we didn't have anything for dinner, perhaps she saw me over thinking as usual. I maintained my steez, held the stormy tears at the back of my eyes and grinned “Yes Abi, I'm ready, let's go?” She nodded. I stood up, carried my white leather handbag, my long curly black hair cascading behind me, as I walked out of the living room with Abigail. As we jaunt to work, the cool air hit me, taking me out of my sad mood. Then I had a flashback of the call I received this morning. ****Flashed back*** My phone chimed so loudly, I jolted up from my small bed in shock, without hesitation I picked the call “Hello miss Jessica” a harsh voice called me “hello si..” he cut in making my words short “ this is to inform you that you have only one week to pay up your debts, if not, you'll be imprisoned and I want to let you know that the interest rate of the loan has been increased to 50 percent” **** Flashed back ends*** I swallowed hard, as I thought about the chances of losing my accommodation and how to pay up my depths. It was unbearable. I increased my pace, attempting to get rid of the thoughts. The streets were so busy but I had the feeling of loneliness. My eyes filled with tears when I turned into the main street. I brushed them off, lest I want to cry at the workplace. I exhaled sharply trying to manage the fast rising temper. Abigail noticed my mood. She knew a lot was going on in my mind. “Hello sweetheart! Are you up for some crazy walk after work today?” She broke the silence. I nodded, forcing myself to smile and I feigned for her to believe that I am happy with her proposal. But my mind was filled up and I couldn’t help but think about my depths. I could not dismiss the feeling that there wasn’t enough time to do everything that was within my power. ***** I pulled off my apron, wiping the sweat from my forehead after cutting the vegetables. My mind, still racing with the thoughts of the many debts that encircled my life. As a chef in a downtown restaurant, I thought I could pay off my depths bit by bit, but it was far from reality. My salary hardly covers my bills, the debt I had accumulated seems to rub off on my face on a daily basis. I and my colleagues in the kitchen were busy preparing for launch service, the aroma of the boiling meat filled the air. Just then, a hunky billionaire stepped into the restaurant. He drew the attention of everyone in the room. He had bushy eyebrows and a sharp jawline, with his tall stature, his head was full of golden brown hair, with his intimidating broad shoulders, He is a frequent face at the restaurant. “Hello Mr Michael Williams” Henry our manager called out, walking with a fast pace towards him, and with wide smile “You're welcome Mr Williams, let me take you to your table Sir” Henry said while he led Mr Michael to the VIP reserved table. We were busy making Chinese stir fried rice in my department . “Jessica!” with the shock that enthroned me, I dropped the sieve I was holding, I twirled to see my manager, with his stern face “You'll be serving our guest, loosen your apron and get to work” “But manager …” “There's no but,Jessica!” he yelled, pointing his fingers at me “perhaps you want to lose your Job” his last cold sentence sent shivers down my spine, as he left “Jessy, I think the billionaire likes you, why don't you give him a chance ? If I were in shoes, I wouldn't miss a chance, come girl wake up” Abigail stated, sounding ridiculous to me but I ignored her, I didn't want anymore troubles, I've had enough. I loosen my apron strings, tears foaming a cloud at the back of my eyes, the embarrassment was too much, ‘what have I done to deserve such embarrassment?, and why must it be me that will always serve that d**k head?’ I thought using my kerchief on my eyes “Jessica!!” That harsh voice yelped out the thoughts in my head “on my way Sir!” I yelled back at him with my clenched fist.. I stormed out of my cooking department with Henry. “Wear this” He ordered, I looked at the uniform he threw at me with disgust, a skimpy skirt and a crop top, “why” I asked him with my frowned face, I was baffled, even if I would serve Mr Michael I don't have to dress like a prostitute. “Are you questioning me Jessica?” His eyes squirts as he glare at me, while he was talking we sighted the billionaire walking out of his reservation Henry moved with a high speed towards Michael, like a speed of light. “Sir Michael, we're so sorry for our incompetence service today, please if you would be a little more patient with us” while Henry was talking, Michael’s gaze was on me, with his hands in his pockets “I need to settle stuffs at my office, I can't wait any longer” Michael dropped his words was so cold and husky, then he gave me a last stare and left I slowly went back to my apartment, with a grimace written all over my face “what happened Jess, Are you ok Jess?” Ana, my nosy colic asked while she snicker. “Nothing” I muttered, looking away from her, I grabbed my apron and went back to work ***** The clock ticked, and before I knew it, closing hours arrived, marking the end of another slog. As we were closing up the restaurant, I turned only to see Micheal standing beside his sleek black GLC Mercedes-Benz, his eyes fixed on me. My gaze moved away from him, trying to ignore him. but I could sense his gaze on me. “Jess, look who is waiting for you” Abigail smirked, twinkling her eyes at me. My eyebrows knitted together. “Who?” I sneered, behaving obliviously. “He’s coming towards you.” Abigail said, snickering and turning backwards. I turned only to see Michael approaching me. My heart raced with anger as he came closer “Hello, Jessica”. He called me, flashing a warm smile, “I've been waiting for you" Michaels voice sounded husky, I rolled my eyes, turned and faced Michael, he smiled at me, a dimple sinking into his cheek and almost forming a bracket I pulled at the strap of her satchel,” Why don't you give up? My life is already complicated. Don't make it harder, It's getting late, you should leave." I was reek of Michael's pressure, I folded my arms, looking at him with disgusted, but he kept pushing Michael adjusted his suit and then walked at a slow pace closer me. I took steps backward as he kept coming closer to me until I leaned on the wall, I forced myself to look up at him, at his full height and I held my breath as his sweet masculine scent rushed into my nostrils. “I'm not asking for too much, Jessica. Just be mine, and I'll transform your life. You won't have to work here anymore” he said, glaring around, he pressed further, his beautiful gray eyes fixed to mine, which made my heart beat faster than usual, I tried to push away but I couldn't. I took a deep breath, I tried not to show any form of weakness, maintaining my composure, “Mr Michael if you would please move a little backwards ” I spoke imperiously, he smirked, stared for a while and then moved back a little. I took a deep breath and said “Mr Michael, Not everything you desire comes to you, some many girls are willing to do anything for you , but the truth is that I can't be yours, and I'll appreciate it if you let me be, and stop all this embarrassment, please?” I glare at Michael with my folded arms, he's persistent pressure took me back past experience with men, which made me tough, my bad situation was caused by a man, my struggles, pain which I'm still passing through was caused by a man I loved and sacrificed for, I won't allow myself to be twice bitten. He sighed and licked his lips dry, my eyes settled on his lips, and it almost took away my willpower but I looked away immediately. “Okay, let's do this then. Just one night Jess, one night and I'll pay you handsomely, any amount you need, name it baby” he said, stroking his beards, a huge smirk escaping at the corner of lips.
