The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Mrs Helen toweled Irish’s body dry after getting her to take a warm shower.

Irish was ready to go to bed in that wet clothing and Mrs Helen had stopped her and forced her to have a warm bath.

She smiled when she noticed the small tight bump, she’s going to be a grandmother soon but she’s so confused with everything here, Irene is not explaining anything.

Mrs Helen made her put on a thick sweater and blue baggy jeans with socks… she needed everything to feel warm.

“You shouldn’t do this… this is just a dream” Irish ranted while Mrs Helen dried her hair.

Mrs Helen didn’t respond, knowing Irish would be in a better condition when she wakes up. She put her in bed and draped her blanket over her.

She lit the fireplace in Irish’s room, watched her sleep before finally walking out of her room.

She was so worried, knowing something was wrong.

“Hi Mum” Arusha smiled, walking into the kitchen.

“Arusha, how are you?” Mrs Helen asked.

“I’m fine, starving” He groaned.

“Lunch is ready, I’m just cleaning the kitchen” Mrs Helen said.

“Thank goodness, i should go freshen up” Arusha said.

“Irish is around” Mrs Helen announced and Arusha smiled but he wondered why Mrs Helen is looking unhappy.

“She came to say hi to us. She’s in her room right?” He asked.

“She’s pregnant” Mrs Helen said slowly.

“Huh?” Arusha asked in surprise.

But he was happy, knowing Mr Ethan is responsible, that’ll make Irish finally become his. “And… fired” Mrs Helen added.

“What!” Arusha shouted.

Irish slept for hours and when she finally woke up, she dreaded opening her eyes.

She prayed everything had been a nightmare, she can’t possibly be in her house.

Pregnant and fired?

No!

She sighed and her eyes finally flew open.

Tears rushed to her eyes, seeing this wasn’t her room in Ethan’s mansion.

She could see Arusha and Mrs Helen staring down at her and she knew everything she had thought to be a nightmare was real.

She was pregnant and she wasn’t ready to keep the baby.

And Ethan had dropped her off in the rain and driven off after saying her luggage will be brought to her house.

She’s fired also!

“Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you?” Arusha asked.

He was still in his school wears, he had refused to freshen up or eat after Mrs Helen told him Irish came home drenched and sad.

“I.. is there really a bump down there?” Irish asked, her voice was low as she pointed to her stomach.

Arusha pulled up her sweater and nodded with a smile.

He hasn’t seen anything more beautiful than this.

“A baby?” He asked in a voice almost close to whisper, he was intrigued and it took all his might not to cry.

“It’s not a baby yet” Mrs Helen said.

“Whatever it is, this is beautiful” Arusha said and quickly wiped a tear that dropped from his eyes.

Irisj sat up and kissed his forehead.

“I love you Irish” He said, hugging her tight, he loosened his grip, not wanting to hurt the tiny baby.

~Irish, we’re having a baby!~ Ethan’s words rang in her head and his happy face when he had said that flashed in her eyes.

He had looked like he just discovered a huge box filled with gemstones until she told him she want keeping it.

Arusha looks so intrigued too, she wondered how he’s going to feel when she tells him about what happened.

~Irish I loved you! Why can’t the women I’ve loved , love me back. Why can’t you have a baby with me~ Ethan’s words and sad face filled her mind and she bursted into tears.

He had looked so hurt and helpless.

“Why are you crying? I’m sure Mr Ethan doesn’t want you to go through stress, that was why he made you stop your job”Arusha said.

“Its not that…” Irish sniffed.

“It’s what?”Arusha asked, his heart was breaking at seeing his sister cry. He hates it so much.

“I told Ethan….. I told him I was going to terminate the pregnancy. I told him I can’t keep the baby” Irish said in tears.

“What the hell are you saying Irish.”Arusha growled, getting to his feet.

Mrs Helen was startled also. She can’t believe Irish will say such.

“You’re joking right? Why will you say that to him!”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Because I can’t mother! I keep to it. It feel weird. I’m not ready for all this. I’m not ready to be a mother! I’m not ready for any damn thing!” Irish cried.

Mrs Helen brought her closer and hugged her.

“I’m sorry mother. ” She sniffed and Arusha hugged her too.

“I’m sorry too Irish. For putting through all this. If we’re in Singapore, this won’t be happening. I understand how you feel” Mrs Helen cried.

“We’re sorry Irish. For making you go through all this” Arusha said.

“Hey! What the heck is wrong with the both of you? I don’t regret working to care for you both. Mum, you cared for us when you could and Arusha i know you’re going to care for me when you get older and have the capacity to. None of you caused this, do not feel bad. It’s meant to happen and I’ll be terminating the pregnancy anyway” Irishsaid.

“What! I thought you’re just joking” Mrs Helen exclaimed.

“Why? You shouldn’t do that please” Arusha said.

“Mother. Ethan’s reputation is at sake! What will the press say? And his family? And other!”

“Irish, you are not terminating this pregnancy. Your life is at stake here! This is Ethan’s baby we are talking about!. ” Mrs Helen said and Arusha nodded in agreement.

“Ethan is hurting a lot. Can’t believe I said those to him” Irish said .

“You shouldn’t have done that” Mrs Helen scolded.

“He was so happy when the doctor announced i was pregnant and he told me he’s going to marry me” Irish blushed and Arusha smiled, seeing her look so happy.

She’s crazily in love with Ethan, she wonder why she had refused to date him. And to think… Did she even said those trash’s?

“Im not going to terminate it ” Irish said.

“Woown! I feel relieved now,” Arusha laughed.

“Did Mr Ethan fire you?” Arushaasked and Irish nodded.

“He left you in the rain?” He asked and Irish hesitated before nodding.

Arusha fumed, brushing his hair back with his fingers angrily.

“He left me with an umbrella and dollars bills for cab, I’m to blame for not using the umbrella. I intentionally got drenched” Irish said.

“Whatever! It was so cruel of him to drop you off like that! he must have gone out of his mind, he’s so lucky to have taken advantage of my likeness for him, if it hadn’t been for that, i won’t spare him a bit” Arusha said angrily.

“Wow, this is actually the first time you’ll be sparing someone that tries to hurt me” Irish smiled.

She won’t blame Ethan. He had gone through a lot of heart breaks already.

“I like Mr Ethan. he’s just one of the most kind-hearted person i’ve met. I respect him a lot or i would never spare someone that dropped off my sister in the rain” Arusha said.

“Ethan isn’t in the best of mood, you should understand he would never do this on a normal day. You would have done the same if you hear someone you wished to have a family with is pregnant for you and was going to terminate it” Irish said.

“Well…. That’s true” They agreed.

“I’m sure he’s going to come get you back to his mansion once he’s calm. And you need to apologise too”Arusha said.

“Yeah” Irisj hoped so but the look that had been on Ethan face doesn’t assure her that he’s going to come back for her.

“Anyway, i need to introduce my friend to you “Arusha said.

“Ohh… does she stay around?” Irish asked, thinking it’s another female friend.

“His name is Ryan” Arusha smiled.

“OMG! Finally”

___Two days later___

Irish checked her phone for the ten thousandth time.

Nothing.

She had sent Ethan tons of apology messages and thousands of call but he never responded. She had wanted to go to his mansion but Mrs Helen had stopped her.

She was so sad and broken. She must have been so bad to say those words to him. What was she thinking?

She can’t even bare to look at her stomach whenever she’s taking her bath, she feel she’s already a bad mum to the unborn child.

Arusha and his friend had kept her company during the weekend, and they had made her laughed during her sad moments but today is Monday, they had to go to school.

She’s sitting with Mrs Helen in the living room and a movie was playing but Irish wasn’t interested.

She missed Arin so much.

She thought about her sweet moments with Ethan and she was close to tears again.

She hope he’s fine, she knows he’s still gonna come around, she only needs to give him time to absorb everything.

“Mum, once it’s time to make lunch, come get me in my room” Irish said, preparing to stand up. “Sit Irisj, i won’t allow you go in there and start crying. You’ll be here with me. It’s not your fault,

every you g mum will think the same” Mrs Helen said.

“But i want to sleep” Irish said.

“Then sleep on the couch, you can place your head on my laps” Mrs Helen said and Irisj groaned.

Irish and Mrs Helen were setting the table when Arusha arrived from school.

He approached them in the dining room, breathing hard.

“Are you that hungry?” Irish asked.

“Mr Ethan has been in coma for two days, he had accident not long after he dropped you off on Friday!” Arusha said with a shaky voice.
