Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 71

It had taken a week and a half for me to be fully functional again. After nearly two whole weeks of being in bed with minimal movement and feeling helpless, I was finally back on my feet and ready to restore the sen of normalcy in my life again.

My wounds had heeled nicely and my sutures were removed with a very satisfied grunt from Dr Hannigan. It no longer hurt when I moved and all that was left of them for the most part had been the scars. Scars which I could only wish would fade over time but they did not bug me too much.

When the first day of the new week had arrived, I was more than ready and prepared to get ready and head back to work. There certainly would be a lot for me to catch up on and I had enough rest in me to be able to absorb it all in.

I had a shower before drying off and throwing on a pair of skinny black jeans. I tucked a white flowy blouse in to the hem before adding a thin belt to the waist. I ran a brush through my hair to undo the tangles that had formed from sleep and the shower before curling it to form gentle waves. I didn’t need too much make up except for some concealer under my eyes to hide the redness but it was easily fixable. I added a neutral l*p tint before applying some perfume to my wrist and n*eck.

I searched through my jewellery collection for a simple silver n*ecklace when I caught sight of the velvet bracelet box that had been the newest addition to my collection. I stared at it for a few moments before reaching for it and popping open the lid. The diamonds glittered and sparkled just as they had when I had first seen them.

For a moment I entertained the idea of sl*pping it on and wearing it. It hadn’t been worn before and it was so beautiful but I resisted my temptations and placed the lid back over the box and returning to where it once sat. I ought to auction it off or sell it or give it away since that chapter of my life was closed now.

Dante rarely dropped by since that night I had spoken my mind to him and I was thankful that he had finally backed off. He did show up a few times but that was to s

Hayley and most of the time they were downstairs instead of in my bedroom.

Even though I had made up mind, my b*dy still rose to attention when he was in the vicinity but I guess that was some thing that would eventually die down over the course of being away from him and focussing on better things. I was no longer in the loop of deciding whether or not I wanted. some thing with him.

I shook my head and snapped out of my dwelling thoughts before sl*pping in a pair of heels and head downstairs. It was still rather early for Hayley to be up yet but I did pop in to her room to give her a k*ss before I left.

After a long time of forming a routine together and spending most of the day with each other, I could only assume that today was going to be a small time adjustment for Hayley but I knew that she was strong enough to cope and adapt.

When I had reached the office, Lucy was more than relieved and ecstatic to see me. The minute I
