Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 60

I was absolutely stunned. I might be dreaming. Surely, it must be that I was sleep walking perhaps. Perhaps this was just some lucid, hallucinating dream that people had. It felt like the only believable explanation.

How on earth did he know?

My fingers felt the velvet of the box brush against it as I held the box in my hand. My eyes were entirely fixated on it and I couldn’t think of any thing else except the contents of the box in my hand.

It sparkled beneath the lighting in the kitchen sending a kaleidoscope of shapes and colours bouncing of the ceiling as the light caught each precise cut of the string of diamonds set against the white gold band.

It was the very same tennis bracelet that I had fallen in love with at the jewellery store earlier today. My eyes widened once I snapped out of my surprise and I immediately brushed my fingers over the diamonds like I wanted to make sure it was actually real and not some holographic image that was some how in my hold.

My finger felt ever prong, ever smoothened polished cravice of the diamonds cut, and the coolness of the metal. It was more beautiful now than it had even looked in the store and that was when I recalled the price tag.

“Dante, this is- I can’t, it is too much.” I shook my head closing the box but I didn’t put it back on the counter yet..

Dante shrugged like this was nothing. Like he hadn’t just dropped a large sum of money to buy me the exact bracelet that had caught my eye.

“It’s a gift, Soph. He called me by that nickname with no much of familiarity. You can’t refuse a gift.” He threw me a disapproving look but I still shook my head.

“I can. This is too much and there isn’t a reason for me to be gifted this.” I fought against him and he inhaled deeply like he was trying to keep his calm.

“Why must every thing be a struggle with you?” He ran a hand through his hair as his question hung in the air. “I do not need a reason to buy the mother of my child a gift. Consider it a very delayed push present.” Dante spoke gently looking at me with this relaxed softness in his eyes.

“Dante, but- I began to protest again.

“Please, Soph, it’s just a gift. Stop making such a fuss over it.” He said sounding exhausted and I couldn’t tell if it was from the day or from me.

“Fine. I accept it as a push present. I reasoned feeling less guilty for taking it as opposed to if he had bought it for me without reason.

Sure, it was still lavish but maybe in his head he was repaying me in some way for giving him a child and not for any other reason.

His shoulders relaxed and the corners of his l*ps lifted. “See, that wasn’t so hard. He said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes at him.

“But what made you choose this bracelet?” I asked curios to know how he had managed to choose the same one I wanted. Was it truly a freaky coincidence?
