The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Isaac had been running around like a headless chicken all week.

Between collaborating with Elijah and drumming up publicity for his upcoming public announcement, it was a whirlwind.

Finally, after a long day of meetings, he managed to send Nathan on his way and pushed open his front door, only to be greeted by the sound of the TV. There on the couch, Brittany had already drifted off to sleep. He tiptoed in, shedding his coat and rolling up his sleeves before gently lifting her into his arms.

Brittany, a light sleeper, stirred awake but didn't fuss. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, murmuring, "Back so late?"

"Yeah, work's been crazy," Isaac murmured back as he carried her upstairs, his hand soothingly rubbing her back, "Feels like you've gained a bit of weight." Brittany yawned, "Pregnant, it happens."

Unlike some, Brittany's skin remained stretch mark-free during her pregnancy, her belly as smooth as porcelain - a testament to her unique physique and perhaps the essential oils she used.

Isaac settled her onto the bed, asking, "Have you eaten?"

"No," Brittany replied, fighting off sleep as she pulled up a sonogram on her phone to show him, "Went for a check-up today. Here's the baby's photo."

Isaac examined the sonogram closely. Though the pregnancy was only a couple of months along and the baby was tiny, the image was incredibly reassuring.

"How did the doctor say you're doing?" he asked after a moment.
