Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 17

Pheobe’s POV.

What on earth was she doing here? Did she stage this purposely just so she could show up at lunch and

sabotage every thing?

Sophia entered the restaurant wearing a checkeded pencil skirt, a grey button front that tucked in to the waist

band of her skirt. The black heels she wore clinked as she walked and could be heard. even through the chatter

of the restaurant.

| watched in utter bewilderment at the scene unfolding before me. | had my doubts, my goodness, did | have any

doubts but it was all becoming too real forto handle the truth that was right in front of me.

Sophia walked in to the restaurant and Dante, like he had sradar that went of when the minute she entered,

fixated his eyes and his attention on her. It was like | was no longer seated right across from him and he was

here alone, forgetting all about my presence entirely.

His eyes moved, following her every move like he couldn't see, hear, or focus on any thing else but her right

now. | followed his gaze and saw the wretched woman there talking to a waitress who lead her to her table but

she would have to pass us first before she got there.

Sophia a return back to the country was wholly unwelcand unsettling. Nothing has felt right. side she

returned. Sophia was proving to be like a bug that needed more than just being squished beneath a shoe to get

rid off.

She walked past our table and | noticed her designer formal wear. She was wearing branded items from head to

to and even those earrings she had on were a limited addition with only a total of five pairs made by the most

exclusive jewellery designer in the world.

| wondered if Adam had gotten it for her. If there was any thing | should be thankful for it would be the fact that

she was with Adam Huxley but even then | wouldn't let myself relax until | knew what Dante’s intentions was and

were his perception of her had lay.

“Sophia.” Dante had the nerve to call out to her to get her attention. Sophia looked at Dante and paused right

before | saw it.

The flicker of yearning in her eyes when she first looked at him. It was gone as fast as it had appeared but | had

caught it and was not going to be fooled. Sophia still had feelings for Dante.

| glanced back at Dante trying to gage if he had felt the sway.

“Mr. Crawford.” Sophia addressed him formally which was not what | had expected but what | did not expect

more was finding that Dante was very offended at being addresses for formally.

His jaw tensed and his eyes hardened but he still continued to speak to her like | was not discussing sthing

important minutes ago.

“l wasn’t expecting to see you here. She said but | knew better than to believe. The desperate b*tch. must have

followed us here just so that she could interrupt our lunch date.

Chapter 17

Sophia's eyes moved tofinally taking note of my presence and her face couldn't hold back her dislike for me.

It was mutual emotion so | wasn’t surprised.

“Neither was I. Taking an early lunch?” Dante questioned, leaning his shoulder against his chair like he was some

love sick puppy.

“You could say so. As much as we work, we got to eat, too.” Sophia eyed the waitress in front of her waiting to

show her to the table. “I better get going.” She feigned innocence but her very presence and voice irritated me!

“Why

nerve.

join us? Pheobe won't mind and we just got here as well.” My eyes widened in anger at his

Dante knew full well that I disliked Sophia immensely yet he still went against what he knew and asked her to

third wheel our lunch.

Sophia looked tothen shook her head, declining his offer. “I'd rather not. | do not want to intrude and,

besides, | had to rush any ways. Thanks for the offer but I'll pass.” She declined tightly, her whole face looking

like she swallowed a lemon.

| crossed my arms over my chest and leaned against my seat satisfied to see that Dante was rejected but he

stupidly opened his mouth to persuade her but she rudely walked away from the table and continued to her own

one at the back in a more quieter corner. That still did not stop Dante from craning his n*eck to look at her.

| scoffed, and a huff escaped my mouth which snapped his attention back to me. He saw my angry expression,

read the fury in my eyes, and he bloody shrugged nonchalantly.

“What?” He asked like he was a clueless.

“You are damn unbelievable, Dante. Never have | been so humiliated in my life.” | reached for the napkin,

blinking hard and fast until my eyes teared up enough to pretend that | was wiping the corners of it.

“It’s all my fault. My fault for wanting to have a quiet lunch with you, to spend twith you, to actually build on

our relationship only for you to blatantly ignoreand invite that woman to our table right in front of me.” His

jaw clenched and | faked cried harder, sniffling for added effect.

“Pheobe, you are over reacting.” He said in a low voice.

Enough of this. | pushed my chair back and stormed out of the restaurant feeling nothing for Dante but an

unbridled fury that raged like an inferno for Sophia.

| knew | should have ended her years ago just like | did her baby when she was pregnant. She never should have

gotten a second chance to live life elsewhere and flourish only to return and beca torn right up my ass.

It was not difficult forto take things back in my control again. So long as Sophia was removed from the

equation, Dante would focus onand onlyand that was all | had wanted. It proved fruitful when Sophia

had ran off to Canada and it'll prove just a good when | take care of her.

If any thing. Dante will ccrawling to me, begging forto take him back, regretting being so

careless with me.

| got in to the awaiting car and drove away despite Dante calling out tofrom the restaurants entrance. | knew

how to get him where | wanted him and if | held on to this mess up of his, he would eventually feel so terrible

that he would spend a fortune trying to fix it all.

| knew Dante probably more than any one else. He was easy to manipulate and I've been doing it long enough to

know just how to work around it.

As for Sophia. | was going to get rid of her once and for all. Too long has past with her darkening my doorstep

and preventing Dante and | from moving forward and I will not allow it any longer.

| asked the chauffer to dropof a street away from the prison and hailed a cab to actually takethere.

Dante didn’t need to know about my side quests from his workers.

When | got to the prison in hopes of speaking to Dimitri to see what he could helpout with, | discovered that

Dimitri was no longer with them.

“What do you mean he is no longer here?” | asked in confusion.

The security blankly stared at me. “Exactly what the words mean, ma am.” He said roughly but | was too

stunned to put him in his place.

“Are you certain? He didn’t mention any thing about the end of his sentence. The security nodded like he was

sure enough.

“He was let go a week ago. Now, if you are done with the histerics, you better leave. He dismissed.before

stepping forward forcingto move to the exit.

A week ago? What the hell was going on.

“Do you have any idea who | am?” | narrowed my eyes at him but he scoffed like | had humoured him

“No and neither do | care. Now leave before we have you removed.” He threatened taking another step forward.

“Well, you should. | could land you in-"

“big trouble.” He mocked and my hand itched to slap him for his nerve. “You can try but we've dealt with worse

people than you.” He said blatantly not willing to cooperate.

| let out a humph then swung around and left.

The news shocked me. Dimitri Hadn't mentioned any thing about this before neither did he tellthat his

sentence was not going to last as long as he leadto believe.

| left the prison as fast as | had gotten there and soon enough | was back in the car with the chauffer driving me

back the house.

If Dimitri crossed me, so god help me, | would have him castrated. | couldn't think of any reason why he wouldn't

tellabout his release date.

Chapter 17

When | had gotten back to the house, Dante was still not hwhich gaveenough tto try and call

Dimitri in hopes that | could figure out what the hell was going on!

| tried calling his phone several times but he did not answer. Frustrated, | tossed my phone across the room

where it hit the wall and fell to the floor. | let out a shrick of utter fury and fought against myself to hold back

from trashing the entire room!

To hell with Dimitri and Dante and that horrid woman he was married to.
