Book:In Love With A Billionaire Casanova Published:2024-5-1

As dark as the night sky was, Rhea just finished with her hot bath, hence wore her robe and decided to go downstairs, so she could wait for Logan. It was almost midnight and the man was nowhere to be seen. She understood him because she was aware how hectic his work was hence didn’t want to say anything,
As soon as she reached the kitchen she opened the refrigerator to get some cold water. It had been weeks now and her tummy was yet to show, and her morning sickness was getting better since Logan went all out in taking care of her. She had nothing to worry about other than the fact that Carlos was still in jail. It was odd because she guessed Carlos would bribe his way out but so far, the man was still in jail and despite all the money he had to get free he didn’t do that which made her uncomfortable
“Hey baby”she was startled when she heard someone say and strong arms wrapped around her and felt as Logan planted a kiss on her neck and rhea stopped drinking her water and smiled
“It’s late… what took you so long”instead of playing along she got out of his arms set the bottle on the counter and crossed her arms over her chest with a frown on her face. Logan knew he had been very busy lately and always got home early
“I’m sorry sweetie Patty made a late appointment which I couldn’t say no to”Logan said sincerely, but the expression on rhea’s face each time he mentioned Patricia his secretary was something he was afraid
“Again… that woman always does whatever she wants and you her boss doesn’t refuse her… how great Logan… is she that important”she remarked the last words sarcastically and walked out of the kitchen. Logan was lost as he followed her to the living room. Yes, he didn’t scold Patricia hard enough to always inform him before make any schedules, but the client was important, and hence he couldn’t afford to say no
“Rhea… I promise I won’t have any late night meetings, okay”he said and held her arm and pulled her to him, but rhea didn’t even want to look at him. She was tired of dealing with the likes of that Patricia every time she missed Logan whenever he was at the office she called his phone, but Patricia was the one who answered, and she never gave the phone to Logan which had happened several times, and she was tired of it
“I’m not saying that okay… just spare some time for me and our baby… that’s it”she looked him in the eyes and said softly, Logan’s hand moved to her face and lowered to rub his face against hers in a loving way that had Rhea feeling things
“Okay… from now on… no working overtime”he murmured and caged her in his arms. Rhea snuggled on his chest and wrapped her arms around him and relaxed. She missed him a lot and wanted him all to herself, but why did she feel like his secretary was keeping him away from her on purpose
“Y… you promised to be mine..? I don’t feel good”she mumbled with desperation as tear lingered in her eyes and Logan felt her breathing increasing, and hence he pried her off him and held the sides of her face
“And I am okay… you are my wife only… tell me what’s going on with you?”he asked in a soft tone however Rhea didn’t want to say anything or appear to be a jealous person, but she was a woman, and she had sense danger. Instead of her getting close to Logan she felt as if he was drifting away slowly
“It’s nothing… just some stupid pregnancy hormones kicking in”she said with a faint smile the very same thing Sia had been telling her about her insecurities and the sudden emotions which she had been feeling towards her marriage with Logan
“Did you had dinner yet?”he asked running his hand in her hair and Rhea shook her head
“I… I made something for you… but I couldn’t eat… I want what you make”it was a hard request, but she was used to eating what Logan prepared for her hence couldn’t eat anything else
“Then let’s get cooking hungry wife”he said with a smirk and scooped her in his arms such that Rhea gasped at his sudden action and laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. For the night she wasn’t going to think about anything that would make her unhappy,, but she would keep a close eye on Patricia just in case.

While Carlos was facing the law, Crawford was busy celebrating because all his allies had been put away, especially Carlos Castillo who used to make him feel inferior even though they were on the same level. Carlos was a pain in the neck, and he always treated him like a stray dog but now for the first time Emiliano had done him a favor by putting Carlos the biggest threat in jail. The other one was angel but he was just a pawn to use
“So dad… what are you going to do now huh”Dimple said as she walked in hr father’s living and dropped in the couch and crossed her legs elegantly, she was a high-class woman the only daughter to his father, and she was spoiled and had everything she had ever wanted even when she was little and lately, her father wasn’t giving her what she wanted
“And why are you here… Aren’t you supposed to be in Europe”Crawford asked with a frown as he extended his arm to get his glasses off vodka and took a sip as he fixed his gaze on his daughter whom he had sent away, so she couldn’t cause any trouble for his new business
“Well what I want is here daddy, so I came back”she said with a smirk and gestured for the helpers who rushed to her and started pouring her a drink
“And what could that be?” Crawford asked even when he knew just what his daughter was obsessed with he chose to play dumb about his daughter’s madness
“I want Emiliano and no one else and that loser he calls his wife is busy getting in my way”she said with some anger to her tone mostly hatred because the hate she felt for sia went a long way, everything was good between her and Emiliano but when sia showed up Emiliano broke all ties with her, and he was the only man who made her feel special
“For the last time Scarlett… stay away from them… I lost my casino because of Emiliano… you better keep a distance from him!” Crawford yelled in anger because this was exactly the reason why he sent his daughter away, but she was back now,
“Don’t call me that disgusting name… I’m Dimple and whether with your help or not… I will get Emiliano and send that second woman straight to the depths of hell!”she screamed in frustration and got up furiously and stormed upstairs, her dad was useless despite having money and power he feared Sia’s parents, but she was not going to be scared of Sia, she was nothing to her but a pest who stole Emiliano from her.
