The Billionaire And His One Night Stand

New York, Mia

I was getting ready for my ultrasound appointment, carefully applying a touch of lip gloss and slipping into a comfortable yet stylish dress. Sebastian, unfortunately, couldn’t join me for this important moment as he had a crucial meeting to attend. However, he promised to be with me later in the evening to spend the weekend together, which filled me with anticipation.

As I looked at myself in the mirror, a wave of excitement washed over me. I couldn’t help but feel a little giddy from the inside. Seeing how much my baby had grown since the last ultrasound was a prospect that filled me with boundless joy and wonder.

“Are you ready?” Bella’s voice floated into the room as she stepped inside. She had been a constant pillar of support throughout this journey, and I was grateful to have her by my side for today’s ultrasound.

I smiled at her reflection in the mirror. “Yes, I am,” I replied, a hint of nervousness mingling with my excitement. “And thank you, Bella, for being here with me.”

Together, we made our way to the ultrasound appointment, chatting along the way to ease my nerves. When we arrived at the clinic, we were greeted by the same friendly nurse from my previous visits. Her warm demeanor instantly put me at ease.

As I lay on the examination table, the nurse began the ultrasound procedure. The room filled with the soft, rhythmic sound of my baby’s heartbeat, a reassuring and comforting melody. I watched the screen with awe as the image of my growing child came into view.

My baby seemed to be having a party in my stomach, moving and squirming with boundless energy. It was a mesmerizing sight, and I couldn’t help but smile at the thought of the tiny life growing inside me.

“Healthy mama, healthy baby,” the nurse commented, her words filling me with a sense of pride and gratitude. I nodded in agreement, feeling immensely thankful for the precious gift I was carrying.

After the ultrasound appointment, Bella and I decided to make the most of our day by indulging in some baby shopping. The prospect of preparing for the arrival of my child filled me with excitement and a touch of anxiety, but with Bella by my side, I knew we would have a memorable and fun-filled day.

We browsed through baby stores, marveling at the adorable tiny clothes, miniature shoes, and all the other baby essentials on display. It was impossible not to feel a surge of maternal love and anticipation with each tiny onesie or plush toy we examined.

As we strolled through the store, our banter filled the air, a delightful mix of excitement and laughter.

Bella held up a tiny pair of baby booties with an amused grin. “Look at these, they’re so tiny. Can you believe you’ll have little feet to put in these soon?”

I chuckled, my heart swelling at the thought. “I know, it’s incredible. It’s all becoming so real now.”

Bella playfully poked a plush toy elephant. “And what about this little guy? Should we get it for your future adventurer?”

I considered the fluffy elephant with a smile. “Absolutely. My baby’s going to have a safari-themed nursery.”

As we continued to explore the store, we picked out baby essentials and adorable outfits, our shopping bags gradually filling up.

After our delightful baby shopping spree, Bella and I decided to head to the food court to satisfy our cravings for some samosas and chicken biryani. The tantalizing aroma of spices and fried goodness wafted through the air as we approached the food stalls.

As we settled down at a table with our plates of savory delights, we were immersed in the delightful scent of our food. I couldn’t wait to dig in, but just as I was about to take my first bite, something caught my eye.

Approaching us was a familiar figure, one that I hadn’t expected to see here. “What are you doing here, brother?” I asked in surprise, my eyes widening.

Bella, always quick to assess the situation, chimed in. “He’s stalking us,” she accused with a teasing smirk.

Kieran, my mischievous and often cheeky brother, simply rolled his eyes at Bella’s accusation. “You’re not that interesting enough, Church Bells,” he replied with a playful grin, using his affectionate nickname for her.

Bella retaliated by sticking her tongue out at him.”You’re just jealous that I’m named after a Disney princess,” she shot back, feigning superiority.

Kieran pretended to ponder this for a moment, tapping his chin thoughtfully. “Hmm, you might have a point there, Church Bells. But you know what I’m definitely cooler than?”

Bella raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What?”

“I was about to get the chicken samosa from here,” he declared, a mischievous glint in his eyes, “but I guess I can just steal yours.”

Before Bella could react, Kieran had swiped the last chicken samosa from her plate with lightning speed. Her eyes narrowed at him in irritation, and she grabbed my water bottle.

“Hey, that’s not fair!” I protested, my lips curving into a grin. With a flick of her wrist, she sent the water bottle flying toward Kieran’s head.

The water bottle made contact with a satisfying thud, and Kieran let out an exaggerated groan as he rubbed the spot where it had hit him. “Auwch,” he groaned dramatically, casting an accusatory glance in her direction.

Bella couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “You two are like a couple of kids,” I remarked, shaking my head in amusement.

As the afternoon sun painted warm hues across the food court, Kieran checked the time on his phone with a slightly apologetic expression. “I hate to cut this short, but duty calls,” he announced, reluctantly preparing to leave.

I looked at him with a mixture of disappointment and understanding. “You’re leaving already?” I questioned, hoping we could spend more time together.

Bella, always quick with a quip, chimed in with a mischievous smile. “You just want to get back to work early because of your assistant and her deep cleavage outfits,” she teased, her eyes dancing with mischief.

Kieran’s eyebrows shot up in amusement as he turned to Bella. “Oh, really?” he retorted, a playful glint in his eyes. “And how, my dear Church Bells, would you know about that?”

Bella leaned in closer, her tone conspiratorial. “Let’s just say I have my ways of gathering information,” she replied with a sly grin.

Kieran chuckled, clearly enjoying the playful banter. “Well, you’ve piqued my curiosity,” he admitted, his tone light. “But I think I’ll leave the investigation to you.”

Bella leaned back in her chair, her playful grin never fading. “Your secrets are safe with me,” she assured him, winking mischievously.

Kieran laughed heartily, clearly entertained by the exchange. “You always keep things interesting, Church Bells,” he remarked, shaking his head in amusement. “I’ll see you both soon.”

As Kieran gathered his belongings and prepared to make his exit, Bella couldn’t resist one final quip. “Remember, Kieran,” she called out with a grin, “work hard and keep an eye out for those deep cleavages. You never know what you might discover.”

Kieran laughed in response, shaking his head as he waved goodbye. “You’re incorrigible, Church Bells,” he called back, a fond smile on his face. “Take care, both of you.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

With Kieran’s departure, Bella and I were left with a sense of camaraderie and amusement. As we made our way out of the bustling food court, I turned to Bella with a playful glint in my eye. “So, Bella,” I began, my tone conspiratorial, “what’s the real story behind Kieran’s assistant?”

Bella chuckled, clearly relishing the opportunity to keep Kieran’s secret alive. “Well,” she replied with a wink, “some mysteries are best left unsolved.”
