Chapter 45

Book:Billionaire's Concubine Published:2024-5-1

The only people who were not happy were Carl and Carol who had suffered rejection and Carol had scattered everything I’m her office out of anger and resentment for Bethany as Duke had told him that he prefers that low-life girl to a lady like her.
“This is not over yet Duke and you are going to be mine”, she spoke out.
The morning was heard as the bird’s song on the trees that were standing outside the penthouse, letting their sweet melody penetrate the streamlet of the rooms.
Bethany and Duke still sleeping like babies in each other’s arms, made it look very lovely to be in love from the sight of them.
Having a peaceful sleep, Duke’s phone could be given attention to vibrating on the table where he had placed it last night after making his last call, and Bethany was still deep in sleep wrapped like a little child that will not let go of her father.
Sounding till it ended the first time, Dike listened to the vibration in his sleep as though he was not of this world, and when the phone came to be ringing again for the second time, he opened his eyes all bewildered as to what was making the sound before realizing that it was his cellphone.
Turning his gaze on the table to check who was calling, he noticed that it was his mother and drawing his body a little bit after noticing how tight Bethany was holding onto him, he missed his mother’s call furthermore.
” Baby, I need to pick up the phone”, he spoke softly to Bethany who did not do much but to draw herself more to him like a cat that needed its owner’s warmth. Not wanting to disturb her sleep, Duke had to pull himself closer to the table with Bethany on him to be able to stretch out his hand to reach his phone.
Coming next in doing so, he came back to his initial position on the bed, arranging her head on his chest to suit a comfortable position for her. Assuring that she was comfortable and well covered, he unlocked his phone and failed his mom’s number to listen to what she had to say.
He waited for her to pick up the call and it was taking it so long for her to respond to the call but the line was finally connected which meant that his mother had taken the call.
“Hi mom, good morning”, he spoke out.
” Good morning Duke and how are you?”, she inquired about her son.
“I am a fine mom and I hope you are too, ?”, he asked waiting for her response.
She said that she was doing okay except for the fact that she was worried sick about him.
” I am so sorry momma that I did not come back home last night and you know that it is because of the city and its state yesterday that was the reason why I could not come back”, he explained but his mother told him that he should have reached out at least.
“I was worried sick about you but I could not call because my charger got burned and the battery of my phone died down”, his mother related. Duke apologized again to his mom telling her that he is doing fine and asked whether she was doing okay too and she said that she was fine.
Duke telling her that he had called the maid in the night, so as to ask how she was doing and the maid told him that she was already asleep which was why he did not want to bother her as it was already late at night.
His mother let out a huge sigh, asked him whether he was at his penthouse and he responded with a yes and his mom told him to take care and to come home as soon as he could. Wishing his mom a nice day and reminding her if taking her drugs, he sent her some warm kisses and told her to take care of herself and be good.
His mother smiled over the phone and wished him the same too. Duke waited for his mother to hang up the phone and for the first time in a long whole, he was able to have a decent conversation with his mom with them both having to shout at each other.
Lowering his gaze to look at Bethany that was still very deeply asleep, he kissed her hair and wondering how she could still be sleeping so much even with him making up all that noise while talking over the phone, he laughed out at her sleeping mood.
” I can not still believe that she is still sleeping this heavily even with all the talks”.
Looking at her as his lucky charm, he kissed her hair more as he believed that she is the reason why he did not fight with his mother this time around.
“When I am with you, everything seems so nice and good and I just want it to stay like this forever Betty”, he spoke out.
Smiling like someone who has won a lottery and showering her with kisses, Henry woke up and realized that the rain had stopped and it was already morning. He took a look at Eva while she was still deep in sleep, thinking if how beautiful she is when she sleeps and how lucky he is to have her in his life. Not being able to hold back himself, he lowered his head and kissed her some more and that woke her up.
“Good morning my love”, Eva said slowly opening up her eyes and stretching out her body. Henry responded to her salutation with a broad smile and inquiring how her night was, he said that he’s was the best as he had spent it with the love of his life.
” You are priding right?”, Eva asked as she laughed out loud at his words but maintaining eye contact with Eva and having a serious look, h told her that he was very serious.
Eva confessing that it was weird to have experienced such a wonderful thing on a hospital bed but apart from that her night too was lovely. Henry bussed her again and she stopped him.
“What is the matter?”, he asked after noticing how brutal Eva was when he smooched her and Eva without saying a word, brought her right hand closer to her mouth, and opening it while forming a curve with her hand, she blow in the air from her mouth into her hand.
“You are scared because you think that you have bad breath?”, he asked her approaching some more and she nodded in acceptance to what he had said. Henry without wasting a second, grabbed Eva this time harder, and sliding her head on one side, he kissed her again passionately and she could not resist as she began to reciprocate his kisses.
she had enjoyed it so much that she had sent her hand into his dress slowly, reaching for his cock and feeling it hard against her fingertips.
Shopping for a while and asking her to slow down as they were still at the hospital, Henry said to her not to bother as it was hers and she was going to have it anytime she wants it after her discharge.
Eva on listening to that felt shy so she lowered her gaze from Henry’s and him paying attending to the fact that she was feeling uncomfortable so he said,
” I am yours and everything in me is yours too so you do not need to feel shy okay?”, he spoke up in an assuring manner.
Just when things were getting interesting, a nurse walked into Evas ward, greeting her and Henry and asked how their night was and Henry responded that it was great and hoped that hers was better, but she said that they could not sleep as there were many victims that we’re brought into the hospital last night.
Eva and Henry looked at each other as they had not heard anything from her ward and the nurse said that it was mostly at the reception as many citizens were wounded and some had fed to the hospital to seek refuge from the flood.
Feeling concerned, Eva whispered slowly from under her lips, as she hoped that her sisters were doing okay.
“They are fine Eva so you need not worry”, Henry spoke out asking her joy to be bothered.
Eva turning to the nurse, she inquire from her when she was going to be discharged and she notified her that the doctor in charge was going to let her know, but hopefully, it has to be today.
Paying attention to the horse’s words, she was so happy and thanked Henry for being there with her. As the nurse had checked up on Eva and noticed that everything was okay with her, she went to the side of the ward, taking the curtains up as go let some sunlight get into the ward while she excused herself to go call on doctor Carol to come to check on her too before signing out for the day.
Eva, showing appreciation for her kindness and care, could feel a phone vibrating on the bed. Turning to Henry, she said that she could feel a phone vibrating on the bed and it seems like it was from his pocket and Henry, stepping out of the bed to have a look at it, he sent his right hand into his pocket, and taking out his phone he moved through it and his mom was the person calling him.
Excusing Himself as he told Eva that his mother was on the phone, he picked up the call waiting for his mother to talk.
“Hello, son”.
” Good morning mom, how are you today me how was your bought?”, he asked wanting to know whether or joy she was doing fine and whether the nurse was doing her job.
“I am recovering but what about you Henry, I have been worried about you these past few days as I don’t get to understand your movements anymore”, his mother spoke out wondering what was going on with her son.
Henry tells his mother that he was doing okay and that there was nothing to be worried about, told his mom that he had some issues to settle and that was why he has seen unstable.
His mother let out a sigh of dismay asking her son what issue he was handling that will make him not sleep at home for days and he doesn’t tell her where he goes to.
” Have you seen how dangerous the country is with the cloudburst of yesterday?”, his mother spoke out and Henry convincing his mother that he was fine, further explained to her that he was saved from the downpours of yesterday as it could not affect him where he was.
“I sincerely hope so because I do not know what I will do if I lose you too”, she put in her words, and Henry knowing how fragile his mother is, begged her not to think about things that will disturb her too much.
Listening to her soon talk, she asked him whether there was a woman in what he was taking care of. Henry pretended not to listen to what his mother had said, asked her about her health and safety but she repeated the question and this time in a more clear term as she asked,
” Does your absence at home and all the mystery, got to do with a woman?”.
Henry turned to face Eva and with an unpleasant response, he muttered,
“No mom it has nothing to do with a woman, I am just with some business associates”.
Eva’s face had veered around to read after listening to Henry refute her to his mother and he could see a teardrop down her eye.
