Falling For Mr Billionaire

Chapter 2

Sofia's POV.

I can't believe I saw him today. I really believe that saying now. Think of the devil and he shall appear. Benjamin is worst than the devil. The day I accepted his deal was the day I can never regret he gave me everything, and the best gift I'll never forget. He gave me Elijah the person I love most in this world. I would do anything for my little baby boy.

Yesterday was Marko's birthday but the surprise Anna and I planned to do never actually happened. Anna did surprise him. But I on the other hand didn't. I just left after seeing Benjamin. I didn't want him to know Marko knows me. I still don't get what he was doing there.

I gave liana, Annette's nanny the present I got for Marko and I told her to tell Anna that it was that time of the month for me. I know she will know I'm lying but at least it will give me some time to figure out everything. That's why I'm going to her house today after I pick Elijah from preschool. I wanted to take him to kindergarten or at least pre-kindergarten but they said his way to young. I know if they at least asked him something or anything they would put him straight to kindergarten even though his three years.

"Mommy, the teacher said I'm too small and the kids were all laughing at me." Elijah mumbled as soon as we came to Anna's house. Now I know why he was the whole time so quite in the car.

"You not too small Eli, how old were those kids?" I asked knowing he is going to say four years. But who the hell send their children when they four. Three should be the right age.

"They are four mommy, and momma they also laughed when I said gift?" Elijah said while talking a cupcake from Anna.

"Why did you say gift ?" Anna said glaring at me.

"Because everyone was saying present." My baby boy replied. Please God, help me raise this kid well because he's going to be the death of me.

"Why was everyone saying present?" Anna asked him.

"Because the teacher was saying out names." Elijah replied. Wow. Oh my god. Please don't tell me what I already think it is.

"Eli, my boy did you say gift because I told you it's another name for present?" I asked him, knowing well that, that was the actual reason.

"Yes, mommy." As soon as he said that Anna and I started laughing so hard. Elijah looked at both of us angrily and just left to go play with Annette.

"So Sofia, why was the actual reason you didn't show up at the office yesterday?" Anna was looking at me while she was putting the plates on the table. I knew she was going to ask but I didn't know it was going to be this soon.

"Um, I'll be honest with you, but promise me not to freak out." I asked her not to freak out because I know she's going to go beat Benjamin up herself.

"It's Benjamin, isn't it? What did he do?" She asked taking a seat in front of me.

"You know me well." I gave her a small smile. "I saw him yesterday when I was in the elevator." I took a long pause after that and asked. "Who is Marko's boss ?"

"Let me just call him quickly to make sure."

*****

Third person's POV.

"Everyone is here right ?" Benjamin asked after he called everyone working for him.

"Yes, boss" Felicity replied, worried.

"Who the f**k did Sofia come to visit yesterday. And I know it must be someone here because she was in a hurry to meet that person." After Benjamin asked so angry everyone looked around and Marko's phone started ringing, breaking the silence.

"Answer that phone right now!" Benjamin commanded, glaring at Marko.

"Yes, boss." Marko quickly answered the phone. "Listen here babe I can't talk right now, boss is angry today." Marko said trying to tell Anna not to call him again.

"Listen to me, Marko. What is your boss's name ?" Anna asked him.

"Benjamin Carson, why?" Marko said almost whispering, making sure Benjamin or anyone else didn't hear him.

"s**t! That's umm, Sofia's ex-husband. Elijah's father." Anna told him.

"What? Is that why he wants to know what Sofia was doing here yesterday?" Marko asked Anna so confused about how the hell he didn't know Benjamin was Elijah's father.

"Keep it down, and don't tell him." Anna said while Benjamin took the phone away from Marko.

"Who the f**k is this?" Benjamin shouted, angry. As soon as Anna heard him she gave the phone to Sofia and whispered to her 'I think it's Benjamin.'

"Hello there! How's your wife?" Sofia asked, changing her voice.

"Don't call again I'm Benjamin, not Marko" After he said that he cut the phone.

"Now back to my question, who did Sofia come to visit and I want to know in the next 24-hours or you all fired!"

Sofia's POV.

"Girls, I'm home." Marko said as he entered the house.

"Oh hey, what did Benjamin do?" Anna and I both asked the same time.

"Whatever you guys say to him made him angrier. And he is going to fire us all tomorrow if no one tells him who Sofia came to visit." Marko said while taking a seat. Three years and six months and he is still the same man. I met Benjamin when he was around 21 and now his 25 but he still is the same arrogant man.

"I'll go to the office tomorrow." I said that because I know when Benjamin finds out about Marko he is going to fire him and I can't let him fire Marko and all those innocent people because of me.

"That will never happen Sofia." They both said the same time. But they also know I'm stubborn and I'm not changing my mind.

"Three years and six months. It's a long time you know."

"We know that Sofia but..." I cut Marko off before he finished talking.

"No buts, it's time I faced some of my past."

"No!" Anna replied angrily.

"There's no NO's Anna. You guys even said it yourself. Elijah needs to know his father." I was lying about that part. I am not going to tell Benjamin about Elijah.

"But what about you?" They both asked worried about me.

"This isn't about me. Anyways goodnight, I'll leave now." I said that as I left and took Elijah up.

-Flashback-

"Hurry up Sofia. Don't you be f*****g late again." Benjamin called me again and cut the phone before I could say anything.

Shit! He will kill me if I don't get there now. What kind of a wife I'm I? I have been married to him for seven months now.

There's a taxi I'll just have to run before other people get in. I'll make it before Benjamin's meeting is over.

As I was crossing, I didn't notice the car coming from the other side. I always doubled checked before crossing the road. But today, I was in a hurry trying my best not to make Benjamin angry again.

Everything happened so fast and the next thing I'm lying on the ground.

"OMG"

"What the hell did you do man."

"Someone call an ambulance."

"She's going to be fine it's nothing major."

"It's just a little bump just image if it was worse."

"Check her emergency number."

"The ambulance is on the way."

Everything went blank for me but those were the words I heard. Man, women, everyone gathered around me. And the next thing I know is I am in the hospital.

"Don't worry ma'am you going to be alright. It's nothing. It could've been worst if the guy didn't stop the car."

"What?" That was the only word I could say the only thing I could say. Because I was so shocked. I need to go to Benjamin's meeting before he kills me.

"We just want to do a check-up. Your husband is on the way." The doctor replied.

My husband, he said as if he will give a f**k about me. But I just managed to say "Okay." And just like that someone opened the door.

"Is my wife okay?" My heart skipped a beat.

Wow, he cares about me after all. I can't believe it. Seven months and this is the first time he actually cared about me. I have known him for about ten months. And married to him for seven months and this is the first time he actually cares about me.

"She's alright sir don't worry." The doctor told Benjamin.

"Oh, my darling wife. How are you feeling? I was worried sick. I thought you were going to leave me. You are my everything." Benjamin said taking a seat and holding my hand. Rubbing it and kissing it the whole time.

"I'm alright Benji. No need to cry." I replied wiping his tears. 

"I'll give you some privacy." The doctor left the room.

"The f**k were you thinking. Getting bumped by a car today of all the days." Benjamin started pinching my hand.

"What's wrong with you ?" I asked, so angry at him.

"How old are you, twenty or f*****g two how the hell did you get bumped?" He asked glaring at me.

"Why can't you be nice and loving like you were just now?" I questioned him and he laughed.

"I .." Before he finished talking the doctor came in. And Benjamin got up and left.

"I got some news for you, ma'am?" The doctor said smiling at me.

"I can leave now?" I asked not being excited because I know I'll be sleeping on the floor as punishment again.

"That and you are pregnant congratulations." What the f**k did he just say? I'm f*****g pregnant with the devil's child. Oh god, I'm dead.

"Thank you but can you not tell my um husband. I'd like to surprise him." I was pleading. I can't let Benjamin find out until I know for sure that he wants a child. This deal didn't include a baby, but things change, right?

** End of flashback -- 

So today is the day I finally meet Benjamin again. I won't be telling him about Elijah but I'll still talk to him for the sake of all those people, I don't want anyone to be fired because of me.

"Elijah come take your bath, my baby." I kept calling Elijah the whole day. it's Wednesday and I know he loves sleeping today. Just like Benjamin. I don't know what's with Wednesday and Carson men. Last time I remember his stepsister Charlotte didn't like Wednesdays. We both love Sundays and Thursdays.

"Get up Eli, or I'll tell everyone at school that your other name is.."

"I'm up and ready mommy." Elijah said while getting up and going to the bathroom.

I always blackmail him when he doesn't want to listen to me I don't get why he doesn't like his second name. He reminds me of Benjamin when I used to do that to him. I even sometimes used to say, Benni or Benji. He hated it just like I hated Fia and Sofi. When he called me Mia it was alright.

"Mommy, next week is Father's Day meeting." Elijah told me as I was dressing him up.

"I'll be there my boy." I replied knowing he wants his dad to be there.

"But you not a dad, mommy."

"Uncle Marko will be there then, happy." I replied looking at the time. s**t, I have thirty minutes before everyone is fired if I'm not there now.

"But mommy he isn't my daddy. It's not uncles day it's Father's Day." He said looking at me so innocent. Why did he have to be like him? I can't say no to Carson's can I?

"I'm late let's just go Elijah."

*     *

I arrived at Benjamin's company and my heart started racing. Three years and six months and today I came to meet him. I just hope I'm ready.

"Sofia f*****g Valentines" Someone called me while I was busy talking to Felicity. And knowing that voice so well. It was Benjamin. Same as always. He always comes late on a Wednesday.

"Benjamin Carson. I heard you wanted to fire everyone because you are so desperate for me. Are your girlfriends not doing it for you huh?" I said turning around and looking at him.
