My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 55

Grandpa Go opened his eyes slowly to the light, he blinked it twice before it adjusted to the brightness of his environment. The first person he saw was Oliver, who was wearing a poker face, then he also noticed Nora standing by the door.

Just then he recalled everything that had happened before he blacked out, he remembered seeing his beloved daughter in law in bed with a stranger in their very own house.

He was still in shock with everything that he had seen, he still found it difficult to believe. His eyes could not have been playing tricks on him, Nora was clearly cheating on his grandson in their very own matrimonial home, he had never been more disappointed in anyone.

“You!” he spat and made to sit up but fell back as pain spread through his chest.

“Easy old man, you are still not yet fine,” Oliver said solemnly, with a face devoid of emotions. Even though that he was really worried about the old man

“What is she doing here? Send her away right now,” he muttered in a weak voice.

“There would be no need for that, I was already about to leave, I hate hospitals,” she scoffed and walked out.

Grandpa Go was shocked out of his own skin, he refused to believe that this was the Nora he knew, the one he had brought to his Grandson as a wife. What had happened to her?

“I am glad you had finally seen her true colors Grandpa, my only regret is that you saw it at the wrong time,” Oliver said softly and sat beside the old man.

“Oliver, you won’t believe what I saw… I … I saw her with another man, on your matrimonial bed,” he half yelled.

Oliver chuckled, he did not look surprised at all. “Relax Grandpa, first it’s not a matrimonial bed because I have never slept on it, talk more of sleep with her, secondly… I already knew she was cheating, I had overheard several times on the phone with her lover,” Oliver explained.

“What? And you never cared to tell me?” Grandpa Go queried.

“Tell me honestly Grandpa, would you have believed it if I told you?” Oliver asked.

Grandpa Go was silent, he knew that Oliver was right, he would have never believed if he told him that without proof. He had trusted Nora so blindly because of his relationship with her Grandfather, how could he be so Naïve to let her use him?

He had hurt his own grandchild and blackmailed him into losing the only thing that he valued in life, just for the sake of an ungrateful slvt. He started to feel guilty for everything he had done.

“I am such a folly son, I don’t know if you would ever forgive me for ruining your life, I thought I was doing what was best for you, I thought I had your best interest in mind when I made those decisions, I never knew that I was being deceived.”

Oliver sighed. “It is alright Grandpa, there is no need crying over Spilt milk. The damage has already been done, I have lost Aria and my baby girl, and I am now married to Nora,” he said and spread his palms with a nonchalant expression on his face.

“But we can still fix things son, you have to divorce Nora immediately. I can help you find Aria no matter which part of the world she is in, I can use my contacts to locate her, please let me help,” he pleaded.

“Grandpa, you were the one that asked me to marry Nora for the sake of your promise years ago and I did, if you want me to divorce her then I would do that too. But as for Aria, it was her decision to disappear; she didn’t think it was necessary to tell me where she was taking my child. Even without your contacts, I can find her if I want to, but she obviously doesn’t want to be found, she doesn’t want to be with me anymore so I would just let her be.” He stated.

Grandpa Go sighed in regret. He was so mad at himself for what he had done, how could he have been so blind to the truth?

Arianna was Oliver’s soul mate, she was his other half and they were meant to be together. She was the lady that brought positivity into his Grandson’s life, and yet he made Oliver send her away. He took away his Grandson’s smile.

Grandpa Go felt like crying. “Alright Oliver, please get the divorce papers ready, I want that girl out of the Gomez mansion immediately.”

Oliver nodded without a smile, divorcing her made no difference to him. He barely remembers that he was even married.

Sammy walked into Oliver’s office and was surprised to see it empty. It was still afternoon so he couldn’t have headed to the bar already. He checked if Oliver had dropped any notes but there was none.

Oliver barely left his office these days, he only leaves at night from where he hits the club. The very same club where he had met Aria; it has been a year since she moved out but he had still not gotten over her.

“Strange,” Sammy muttered and turned to leave, he knew it would not be wise calling Oliver as he was easily offended these days. It was best not to make him get cross with him.

Just then his phone rang and he hoped it was Oliver, but when he checked the caller ID, he realized it was Rosie. He smiled for three seconds, then the smile disappeared. He just remembered that he had promised her lunch together but it was almost four pm.

He answered the call reluctantly, “Hey sleeping beauty,” he called, dragging the word nervously.

“Call me that one more time and I will stab you in the eyes,” she retorted.

“Wow, you are violent, I like it,” he chuckled. Well, one year was enough to make him that bold with her, even though they had not taken it seriously. Things were supposed to be heated up between them by now if he wasn’t such a coward.

“What excuse are you going to give me now, I have been dressed up for an hour, waiting for you to come pick me up as agreed,” she whined.

“Um…” he muttered, trying to come up with an excuse quickly. He looked around the office and an idea struck his mind.

“Oh, you see the CEO is missing, I don’t know where he has vanished to and I can’t leave without his permission. You know how Oliver does these days, he would be so cross with me.”

“Fine whatever,” she interrupted, “But you have to make it up to me tonight…” she added.

“Oh, but how do I do that?” he queried.

She sighed in disappointment, “That is left for you to know, call me when you figure it out,” she replied.

Sammy could sense that she had gotten upset with him. Well she had a temper and he was used to that. The poor man had to face the temperamental issues of his sadist boss and psycho girlfriend.

“You know what? I have an idea,” he said and smiled.

“What?” Rosie grumbled from the other end.

“I think we can have dinner at your place tonight,” he replied with a smile.

“Really? Well that would be cool, bring sodas when coming,” she said excitedly.

“Of course I will. Prepare something delicious, I will be coming on an empty stomach.” He smirked.

“Sure, see you soon. I will start preparing now and better don’t disappoint me again, or it won’t end well for you.”

“Alright, my violent girlfriend.” He laughed. She snickered and he hung up the call.

Well, it looked like he had a boss to find, then a dinner for two to crash. Hopefully, they could do something more than sharing glances and pecking each other tonight.
