The Billionaire's Baby Match

Alexander's Pov

“You have to be kidding me! I will not marry and certainly would not father a child! I said angrily, slamming my hands on the dining table.

I stood up, threw away the file furiously sending the sheets of papers in it flying about the room.

“I have told you times without numbers that all these girls want from me is the pleasure and the money I can give them. But you want me to get married and produce an heir before I can become the CEO and President of the company!? How cruel can you be?” I spated angrily, turning my back to her.

“I know… but I am dying” my grandmother said. I turned around and looked at her incredulously.

“This is a lot to take in, I get but could you at least fulfill the wish of this dying woman?”

“Please tell me you are joking”, I moved close to her holding her hands. She suddenly looked so weak and feeble to me. How come I never noticed?

“I'm not, I have a brain tumor and it's a rare one. I intentionally didn't want you to know because I thought I would get better. But as it seems, it's not” she finished with teary eyes.

“This can't be real, I know you, you are a fighter, you can't suddenly get sick now. I have friends who are doctors all over the world, surely they can fix you”.

I brought out my phone from my pocket, my hands shaking. I began typing anxiously and furiously. She must have noticed how shaken I was because she moved closer to me and held my shaky hands. She looked me deep in the eye and pleaded.

“The only way you can fix me is to get married, even if I'm not alive to see your child. Let me at least witness your wedding”

Oh, please don't say that, I broke down suddenly.

I can't remember the last time I cried that hard, when I lost both of my parents to an airplane crash maybe? But this sudden news shook me to the core. I cried bitterly. If she dies, it means I have no-one to share my fears and thoughts with.

I wasn't sure I would get it done but I said it amidst crying anyway, “I would get married and I would produce that heir, I would make you happy by fulfilling your wish” I told her and pulled her into a tight hug.

The rest of my day went by slowly. I was sad I might not get the reins of the company because I'm currently seeing no one- well I have lists of sluts- not to talk of settling down but thinking about my grandmother was the saddest of all.

I got home still rattled by the events of the day and made my way to the mini bar in the living room. I took the first wine I saw, I poured it into my glass and drank away till I finished the whole bottle.

I threw the empty bottle across the room bitterly. How do I find a woman this quickly? Surely I can get any woman I want in the whole of New York City. I'm Alexander Jones anyways, the youngest and richest eligible bachelor in the whole city.

However, this is a woman that would carry my seed! I can't pick from any of the sluts around me. Just then, the loud shrill of my ringing tone jolted me back from my thoughts.

It was Angelica , the first on my list of sluts. Reluctantly, I answered the call. “Hello darling!” Her squeaky voice called on the other side. Without waiting for me to reply, she continued, “I waited for your call all day, why didn't you come pick me up like you promised?”

Shit! I totally forgot, we were supposed to hang out at my place over the weekend. The turn of events had made me forgetful. But who's she to question my whereabouts?

“I owe you no explanation! Do not question me, I'll call you when I need you!” I said shouting at her. Without waiting for a reply, I ended the call.

I hissed annoyingly and dropped my phone on the counter. It rolled and landed on the floor with a thud. Suddenly a thought came to my mind. What if Angelica was the solution to my problem?

We've known each other for years and we've been satisfying each other’s urge with no strings attached.

This is my silver lining indeed. Standing up to pick my phone from the floor, it rang before I got there.

It was my friend Derrick Montgomery calling, he's a perfect manwhore and we made a duo. But considering how I'm feeling right now, I wasn't in any mood for his whoring.

“Derrick, this is a bad time”, I said into the phone impatiently. “Of course it's a bad time,” he retorted, "I gave you the deal with DK Holdings on a platter of gold. My source from there called to inform me that there might be a fallout”. “The fuck is that Jones?” He inquired with anger visible in his voice.

Oh no, can the day get any worse? “I'll get back to you Derrick, I had all this fixed, I don't know what went amiss”, I finished and ended the call.

After the episode with granny,I had decided to stay home throughout the weekend but I can't now, since my secretary can't do their job right.

“It's the weekend for damn sake!” I cursed angrily as I made my way to the door. My driver Benjamin was already waiting in the car when I got out. I opened the back door and got in. “To the office”, I told him and he zoomed out of the house.

I messaged Brenda, the oldest and longest secretary who had worked for me, telling her about the mess on the ground. It wasn't long before I arrived and when I did everyone was already on their toes.

They were mostly shaking because it was obvious anger was seething through me. I took the elevator to the last floor and entered my office angrily. I sat on my chair, switched on my laptop and went through my mails before calling my P.A.

***

CRESSIDA!!!, I shouted her name from my office , I stared at the mail incredulously. Within seconds she was inside,visibly shaking at my rage

“Tell me why DK company is refusing to partner with us, didn't I close the deal weeks back? Tell me why I'm seeing the message!”, I shouted

‘Ahmm…I..I”, she stuttered.

“Give me a reasonable response or you will be fired!, infact, get out this instant!”

Cressida hesitated and made to plead, “I'm sor…

“If you finish that statement, I'm going to ruin you such that no company would hire you in the whole of New York, you don't want to try me! Now out!”

Damn!

How bad can today get!?
