Blind Billionaire Bride

IDAHO, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA

AT FREDERICK ROBERT MANSION

“Oh finally! Sir Drake, you have decided to visit us!”

Drake was greeted by a plump old woman with gray hair and very red cheeks. “Good evening, ma’am Dora.” Drake spun towards the old lady to embrace her. Ma’am Dora runs things around Robert family home.

“What do we have here? You are looking younger and beautiful every day.” Drake exclaimed.

“Really? Thank you, sir Drake.” Ma’am Dora blushed even more as the hug ended. “How are you doing?” She touched his forehead to feel his temperature.

“Ma’am Dora, I am fine. Thanks for you concern.” He held her hands and kissed them.

“Hmm it is pretty obvious. Mr Robert is waiting for you.” Ma’am Dora replied.

“Where is he?” Drake asked.

“The dinning room.” Ma’am Dora replied as she stepped aside for him to walk into the house.

“Okay. I’ll talk to you later.” He winked.

Drake motioned toward the dinning room and he heard laughter erupting from the section as he walked closer. All of a sudden, Drake stopped to stare at the faces at the dinning table. This time it wasn’t just his parents but they had visitors. Who are they? He looked at both women. They look pretty much alike. Mother and daughter.

“Oh! Why didn’t he just tell me I was going to meet Serena Sanders and her daughter when he called me at the office.” Drake cursed under his breathe at the sight of both women.

About Frederick Robert, he was super excited on phone when he invited his son home and Drake had wondered why. Well now he knows-It was about this matchmaking plan. But why does Drake feels like there was more to this whole thing? He hated the fact that his father was making so much effort to help him start a family when he can’t even hold down a relationship!

“Oh son!” My mom said.

The old lady Drake had looked up at him while her daughter face was glued to the plate. He hissed. He hate ladies like this, so shy and timid and definitely not his type of woman.

“Drake meet Serena Sanders.” Mrs Robert introduced.

“Nice to meet you ma’am.” Drake settled in a chair and poured himself a glass of champagne.

“And here is her daughter I told you about Bay Sanders.” Mr Frederick added

Drake Robert looked up at the lady properly this time and their gaze locked. She looked like someone he had met. He stared intensely at her and tried to recall where he must have come across this face.

“Bay?” Drake mumbled. He sounded like he had heard that name. Perhaps have they met before now? He pondered deeply.

“Son isn’t she pretty?” Mrs Robert asked as she placed her hand on her son’s hand.

Mr Frederick noticed the way Drake’s keen eyes was watching the lady. “Son, perhaps have you met Bay before now?” He blurted out.

The question stunned Drake out of thought. He studied Bay’s expression, there was a knowing look on it and it struck Drake immediately when recalled where he had seen this face. Hell no! It can’t be possible! She is the same lady he had picked at Tessa Club some weeks back. She is the same Bay he spent the night with weeks ago!Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Drake scrunched up his face. Tessa club? The hotel? What was she doing there when his father had vouched that she is a good woman? Why was she at the club? He mused.

“Drake. Have you met Bay before now?” Mr Frederick called.

“Yes dad.” Drake replied.

He heard sighs from everyone around the table. “That explains it.” Mr Frederick added.

“Dad. Explain what?” Drake asked in a low tone.

It doesn’t explain anything! He only met her just once and they had fun right in one night. Yeah Drake knows but he doesn’t even remember her up until now.

“Listen Drake, Bay already explained things to us.” Mrs Frederick said with a bright beam on her expression.

What did she tell them? That they had sex and he paid her the very next day and asked her to leave? Drake wondered.

Mr Frederick cleared his throat. “I think at this point we don’t have to waste time anymore.” He said.

“What… what do you mean dad?” Drake stuttered. He was confused. And he couldn’t even tell why the atmosphere around this woman he had slept with weeks ago was so tensed.

Mr Frederick and his wife exchanged glances while Serena pats her daughter’s back. “I have good news.” He chuckled.

Drake thought he was about to spill words about matchmaking him and this woman together again.

“I am so glad to inform you that you would be a father soon. ” Mr Frederick blurted out.

Drake eyes widened in absolute shock. “What?!” His jaw dropped immediately. His father’s words echoed in his head-you would be a father soon.

“Bay is pregnant.” Mrs Frederick said in a calm tone. She couldn’t hide the happiness that welled up inside of her as she said those words to her son.

Drake gasped out in shock again. “Wait.. hold on everyone… that’s impossible.” He chuckled. “She can’t be pregnant.” He looked straight at the Sanders.

No one said anything else and it gave him the chance to think. “Bay is pregnant! Hold up, if she is pregnant how does that make me the father of her baby? We only had sex about nine weeks ago and we used protection. So how did she get pregnant?” He pondered within deeply.

Drake found himself laughing out so loud. These ladies must be joking! Trying to pass him someone else’s child! He thought.

“My daughter is carrying your child.” Mrs Serena said.

“My child?” Drake snorted.

“Drake-”

He interrupted his dad. “Did your daughter not tell that she is a club girl.. or a night worker so any man would have gotten her pregnant. Not me.” He gritted.

“What did you just say?” Mrs Serena’s mouth dropped slightly in disbelief.

“Ask your daughter where we met the first time.” Drake pointed at Bay. “We both met at the club, she stripped for me and spent the night at a hotel and I paid for her service. So what does that tell you?” He demanded. He was disappointed that his dad tried to cajole him to marry someone like Bay Sander who is nothing but a town’s whore.

“Listen to what she has to say. You-”

“No mom.” Drake stood up. “She is a town’s whore so that child she is carrying is not mine.” Annoyance was now clear in his tone.

“It is your baby.” Mrs Frederick countered.

“It is true that you picked her up from a club but the most important fact is that my daughter has never been with any man til she met you that night.” Mrs Serena stated confidently. Annoyance clear in her voice but was only trying to stay calm.

Drake laughed. “Really?! I won’t take this from you and your daughter. How do you expect me to believe that-” He stopped.

Images of that night with Bay flooded his mind. Bay never acted like she was a virgin and she never mentioned it to him. She wasn’t nervous and neither did she ask him to be careful. Perhaps was it because they were both half drunk that night after finishing a bottle of champagne! It was hard to tell if she was a virgin or not!

“I need prove that I was her first man.” Drake stated these set of words slowly.

“What?!” They all gasped out in shock and surprise.

And again, Drake recalled the bloodstain he had seen on the sheet when he was trying to find his wristwatch! He had thought she saw her period over night!

“Damn it!” He uttered profanity. Why didn’t he realize that bay would have requested to take a shower before leaving that morning if it was her period!

“I can’t believe this is happening. Let us go Bay.” Mrs Serena instructed her daughter. They both stood up to leave.

“Serena, we can talk things out.” Mrs Frederick begged.

“There is nothing to talk about Vivian. Let us go, Bay.” Mrs Serena picked her purse.

Drake and Bay’s gaze met again and he noticed the tears that dropped down her cheeks. Immediately the feeling of guilt washed over him. Now what has he done?! Bay and Serena left the dinning area with Mrs Frederick following closely behind as she plead with them.

“Shit!” Drake thought of how he managed to get himself in a situation like this one.

“What do you have to say, Drake?” Mr Frederick asked.

“Serena, we can have a proper conversation about this situation.” Mrs Frederick pleaded.

Drake rubbed his temples continuously. “If your son is insisting that this child isn’t his then let us run a paternity test.” He heard Serena say to his mom.

Maybe that would be a better option because he is still finding it hard to believe! How come she is pregnant when they had used protection? As far as he could remember, Drake has never gone raw with any woman in his whole life. He had always played his game right.

“Oh no! no! Damn it!” Drake cursed in a tight whispered.

The shower! They had sex in the shower before sleeping that night! He didn’t even realize that until now! Drake clenched his fist! What has he done? Bay is pregnant but it is so clear that he isn’t ready to be father!

Mrs Vivian came back to the table. “I need the truth! Drake, did you have sex with Bay in the shower without using protection?!” She demanded in a raised tone.

“Yes.” He replied. “But it doesn’t-”

“Now don’t you dare try to deny that baby! It is your baby!” Mrs Vivian shot her son a glare and anger was evident in her eyes.

Drake tried to control his anger. He hate it when he makes silly and stupid mistakes! Now he is one step ahead to be a father! Does that mean he has to divide his attention into two, one for work and the other for the baby?

“You know we can run a test if you are doubting it.” Mr Frederick said.

“No need for a test. The date he slept with Bay corresponds with the result.” Mrs Vivian countered.

Then the child is for Drake Robert.

“It is not a bad idea to be a father.” Mr Frederick said with croaked smile.

Drake sighed in frustration. “Now don’t tell me I have to take Bay to the altar right away just because she is carrying my baby!”

Mrs Vivian went to her son and place her hand on his shoulder. “You don’t know how happy we were when Serena told us about the baby.” She said.

“When did she tell you about the baby?” Drake asked.

“Serena explained things to us about three days ago.” Mrs Vivian replied.

“So why am I just finding out now?” Drake asked again.

“We wanted to make it a surprise thinking it would make you happy.” Mr Frederick responded.

“Surprise?” Drake snorted.

He knows his parents are both super excited about the baby thing because it is what they wanted! Having a fella running the house like his dad use to say.

“Even Bay only found out few days ago.” Mrs Vivian added.

“You have to apologize to the Sanders.” Mr Frederick grounded out.

“Yes son. You need to apologize for humiliating Serena and her daughter.” Mrs Vivian pat his shoulder gently.

“I will talk to Bay tomorrow.” Drake mumbled.

“Why not now?” Mrs Vivian asked.

“I have a meeting with an investor online.” Drake lied.

“Okay just make sure you apologize to them then we can think of what to do next.” Mr Frederick stood up to leave for the bedroom.

Drake knew he won’t be seeing the old lady! The next conversation should be between he and Bay Sanders. But Drake wasn’t sure he was ready to go on a marital journey with Bay not to talk of accepting the fact that he would be a father soon.
