Claiming her babies

Nicholas POV

“Then I have no choice but to tell the whole world who the biological father of those kids are. I taking this to court Nicholas. I’ve had enough of all of you and I refused to be quiet about this” Ethan said, pointing his index finger at me and Monica then a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

My heart raced in fear as I watched the sudden mischievous smile on Ethan’s lips. This was the one thing Ice feared for a very long time.

Ethan suddenly showed up in our lives and destroyed everything I’ve worked hard for.

Telling the world that the kids I claimed as mine were not only going to cause chaos in the media but also destroying my reputation and taking away my position as the CEO.

That was the main reason I had a contract with Monica in the first place. Speaking of Monica, I raised my head and I saw her holding Ethan’s hand with her knees on the ground and that action snapped me out of my thoughts.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I’m sorry for everything but please don’t tell anyone about the kids. Let’s this just be a secret between us” Monica begged and her actions tugged at my heartstrings.

It broke my heart to see the woman I love begging her ex. I knew she was doing this because she knew what I’d lose if the world found out the thinnest CEO and billionaire was in a contract marriage and claimed someone’s kids just so he could retain his position as CEO.

“Then let the kids spend some time with me, Monica. Just one week and I promise that I’ll bring them back safely” Ethan said, his eyes glinting with a mix of desperation and hope.

That wasn’t the first time Ethan was suggesting the kids spend some time with him but there was something off about it. For some strange reason, I always feel uneasy whenever he brings it up.

If asked why I didn’t want Mason and Macy to be with their father, I had no idea but I just had a gut feeling that I shouldn’t allow it.

“Okay but just one week” Monica responded sadly, her voice low and steady and I stared at her in shock.

“All right thank you,” Ethan said, a smug smile displaying on his lips “You have my word,” he said, though his eyes suggested something else

“No” I yelled as both faces turned to me. One with shock and the other with a frown. “We can’t allow Ethan to take the kids with him. You’re not taking them anywhere Ethan and that’s final”

“What! Why? Honey, please think about this” Monica uttered, standing to her feet and her voice trembling in fear. I could see her fumbling with her nails and I knew she was anxious.

“you think I was blabbering when I said I would tell everyone your secret right?” Ethan asked, his voice slightly sharp and deep.

“I don’t care. Do whatever you want Ethan but there’s something I want you to do now and that is for you to get out of my house” I said, pointing my index finger toward the door while maintaining eye s contact with him.

“Nicholas_” Monica’s voice trembled in disbelief.

“You will regret this” Ethan gritted his teeth as he glared and me before walking towards the door. His words echoed in my ears for some minutes and I couldn’t help but panic a little.

“Honey, what are you doing? Why are you letting your pride get the best of you? Why don’t we just let him take Mason and Macy and at the same time, you get to keep your company?? Do you know what you will lose if anyone else finds out that Macy and Mason aren’t yours?” Monica said, tears spilling from her eyes and streaming down her flushed cheeks.

I walked to where she stood and used my thumb to get rid of the tears that stained her flawless cheeks. “I know what I’ll lose if Ethan eventually speaks out honey but I can’t let him take the kids,” I said and more tears spilled from her eyes

“Why? They’re his biological kids and he has the right to_”

“I know honey but I have a bad feeling about this. I feel his intentions are not pure so please understand me and stop crying” I uttered, placing little kisses on her cheeks. I hated the fact that she was crying out of fear.

“What about the company? What about if the directors find out and they remove you from your position? TGreg wins and you lose. Nicholas, please think about this” She uttered, stamping her foot on the floor like a child and I knew she didn’t like my decision.

“I don’t care about any of it. If I lose my reputation, my position, or even my company, I don’t care. I can cope with all of that but there’s one thing I can’t cope with and that’s losing you or Mason or even Macy. I’ve grown so attached to you and the kids that I can’t afford to see the kids with Ethan please honey, stop crying, and just let whatever wants to happen happen. I’m happy and contented as far as you’re with me and the kids are with me” I said and she cried even more

“This is all my fault. If only we didn’t have a contract then Ethan wouldn’t have been threatening you by now” Monica said regrettably and I raised her chin so her eyes could meet mine

“It’s not your fault Monica. I don’t care about Ethan’s threats. Your love is enough for me. I don’t mind if Greg becomes the CEO as long as you’re with me. If given a chance to meet you again in the afterlife, I would fall in love and marry you all over again. That’s how much I love you Monica and I’m not sorry about it”

More Tears spilled from her eyes with a broad smile on her lips. “You ought to be an actor and not a businessman

I chuckled at her statement “Why do you think so?” I asked and she just sniffed and looked at me adorably.

She looked at me for about three minutes and I began to wonder what was in her mind.

“I love you, Nicholas Sterling,” she said, engulfing me in a warm and comforting embrace filled with nothing but desire, love, and happiness.
