TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO
Chapter 63

Debby's pov

Andre's mansion....! 8:30pm....!

I stretched my body and released a tired yawn... my eyes roam the dinning table and a satisfied smile leaves my mouth.

Andre is so gonna get the surprise of his life when he comes home..... I personally prepared his favorite dish today.

I'm gonna coax him and ask him for forgiveness.. for leaving home straight two weeks.

I perceived myself and almost throw up, I smell like seasonings.. I should freshen up before he gets back.

I hurried off to our room... I took a quick shower and change into one of Andre's big t-shirt that stops at few inches below my butts.. it barely covers my butts.

I heard the main door open and I rushed downstairs... it's Andre, he just got off work.

With a big smile on my face, I rushed to him.. I threw my arms around him and hugs him tightly.. sniffing his sweet cologne in.

"I missed you so much, honey!" I said.

He wraps his arm around me for a brief second before pulling me away.

"Honey? That doesn't sound right!" He said.

I took his jacket and briefcase from him... he looks at my face closely, my eyes particularly.

He studies them as if he's trying to figure something out.. he shuts his eyes and shake his head.

"Are you ok?" I asked him.

"Yeah... but are you ok?" He asked me instead.

I squirt my eyes... his question is so direct like he knows about my health condition.

"I'm ok?" I answered more like questioning myself.

He simply nods and walks upstairs to freshen up.. I followed behind him.

"I cooked your favorite, freshen up and come have a taste"

He simply nods and continues his journey to our room. I helped him strip off his clothes, remaining his boxers.

He head to the bathroom.

********

Andre and I head downstairs.. we arrived at the dinning table and I pulled out a chair for him.

His eyes roam around the table and I saw a small smile on his lips.. he digs in immediately and moan, he shut his eyes momentarily. "Sweet!" He moan.

I smirk. "Honey, you must be tired... let me give you a massage!"

He didn't accept or reject my offer. So I took his silence as a yes... my hands found their way to his shoulders and got in action. "Baby?"

He paused and turns to take a look at me.

"Are you referring to me?" He asked.

"Yes!"

"Hmm, I don't think I'm gonna get used to it" he continues eating.

"You'll learn to get used to it!"

He simply nods and continue eating.

"Baby, I left home for two weeks.. did you miss me?"

"Two weeks? Oh, I wasn't counting!" He replies.

Wait.. why do I feel like he's kinda sounding cold to me? Well, I have no right to complain... I was wrong to leave home.

"Yeah, it was two weeks, did you miss me?" I asked.

He shakes his head.

"Nope! I didn't notice you were gone!"

This statement got to me. I stopped massaging him and I quickly slumps on the chair next to him.

"I don't understand. What do you mean by you didn't notice I was gone? Are you mad at me?"

He ignores me and continue eating. I guess I should tell him the good news now, who knows he might forgive me if he replaces out I'm pregnant.

I smile and clears my throat.

"Andre, I have some good news for you!"

"Hmm-mmm?" He hums.

I studies him, he is so focused on his meal and barely spares me a glance..

Nevermind, I'm at fault, I shouldn't complain.

"Andre, I'm pregnant!"

He tensed and the spoon he was holding falls off his hand. He clenches his jaw and grits his teeth... He turns to me with an unreadable expression. "You're what?!"

"I'm pregnant!"

He stays silent for a moment, his eyes lashes blinking like he's holding back his tears..... but we all know how manly Andre is.

He'd never cry.. no matter the reason.

"With my child?!"

I frown.. what does he mean by that? Is he suspecting I cheated on him and I'm carrying another man's child?

"Debby, are you carrying my child?" He asked again.

I narrowed my eyes... Debby! Not Angel!

"Yes! It's your child I'm carrying! I'm pregnant with your child!"

His eyes move slowly to my stomach and lingers there for a moment... His hands itched forward to touch it but he quickly withdrew it and got up.

Without saying a word he head upstairs towards our room... What does he mean by all this? Why doesn't he say anything after hearing about my pregnancy?

"Andre!" I called him and he stops midway.

I got up and rushed towards him and stops right in front of him.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"What should I say?" He asked me back.

"What do you mean? I told you I'm pregnant.. I'm carrying our baby but you didn't react, rather you walked away?"

He stares at me briefly and turn back to continue his journey to our room.

I held his arm and pulled him back.

"What is wrong with you Andre? Why are being so cold and distant towards me?"

He snatches his hand from me.

"Don't push me, Debby!"

"Push you to do what?! If you don't want the baby then say it! Say something.. if you don't want it I can leave and feed for myself!"

He closes his eyes and inhaled deeply.

"Fucking say something!"

He snaps his eyes open.

"Yes! I don't want the baby! It's gonna ruin my plans!"

"You don't want the baby! It's gonna ruin your plan? What plans?"

"You don't need to know!" He turns.

I rushed in front of him and blocks his way.

"I wanna know! I wanna know how important is that plan of yours that my child is gonna ruin!"

"Debby, make way! I need to go in there and cool down!"

"No! Don't cool down! Say it, tell me the oh so great plan!"

He glares at me furiously.

"Fine! I'm getting married!"

These words ring in my ears and I stares at him in shock.

"You're what?" I managed to ask after recovering from the shock.

"I'm getting married!"

"To who?"

God... please let it be me! Let it be me!

"To the woman I love and she's not you... don't pin your child on me and make her change her mind!"

"The woman you love?"

"Yes! I have always loved her and she's the only one I'll ever love!"

"Who?"

"Olivia!"

I take two steps back as he mentioned her name... I shake my head and tears brimmed in my eyes.

"Olivia? But.. but you said you hate her! You said I'm the only one you love!"

"Well, all thanks to you! I get to realize I never hated her, I was just angry at her!"

"What? What do you mean?"

"You pushed me to her.. you made me spent two weeks with her in the hospital and I got to realize my feelings for her!"

No! I didn't pushed him to her... I just wanted him to....

"I still love her and I'm so happy to get to marry her"

"Then.. w-what about me?"

"My wedding is in two days, don't ruin it... Get out!"

"Your wedding is in two days? What about me?"

"I don't know about you, you are just my recovering girl.. you helped me heal, that's all"

I don't know what happened... My hand worked on its own and lands on Andre's cheek.

"If that's how you wanna vent your anger, then you're welcome to!"

"You bastard! I loved you wholeheartedly! And this is how you repay me?! By abandoning me and our unborn child?!"

He scoffs unbelievably.

"You love me?" He chuckles dryly. "Your definition of love is so funny, does lovers lie to their loved ones.. there shouldn't be any secrets between lovers! But you keep a lot of secrets from me!" Is he talking about my health condition?

"What do you wanna know? That I might go blind sooner or later?!"

"It's too late! I don't wanna know... Leave my house!"

"You're asking me out?!"

"Yes! Or do you want me to call the security to escort you out!"

I shake my head... My right leg itch forward and kicks him where sun doesn't shine.

He slams his legs together and falls down.. groaning in pain.

"Fuck!" He grunts out.

"This is the last time I'll ever set foot in this mansion!"

I took off his ring and throws it at him.

"Here's your ring! I won't bother you with my child's wellbeing... I can feed for us!"

I turn and head downstairs... I stopped and turn to him when I got to the last step.

"Oh! And congratulations in advance... Happy Married life!"

I hurried out of his mansion... It's too late to go to the park, Anna's place is the only option now.

I quickly reached for my phone in my back pocket and dialed her number... While waiting for her to pick up, I suddenly remember it was Andre that bought me this phone.

Whatever! I'm not gonna return it... I'll take it as compensation!

"Hey! Girlfriend!" Anna answer.

"I know it's late but I'm gonna trouble you.. are you at home?'

"Yeah!"

"I'm coming over!"

"Oh, ok!"

I hang up and wait for a cab to come by.

"Oh my God! Debs, what happened?" Anna asked the moment she opens the door and saw my sad expression.

"Annaaaaa!" I cried and falls into her arms.

She supports me to a sofa and helped me sit down.

She lets me cry to my heart content... then she hands me a handkerchief to wipe my tears.

She heads towards the fridge and took a bottle of chilled water... she takes a bottle of wine from her mini-bar and head towards me.

"Here, I figured you'll need some wine" she said.

I shake my head and reach for the bottle of water instead. She frowns.

"Ok, this is new! Why did you go for water instead of wine?"

"It's not good for my baby!"

She grabs my hand and stared at me in shock... Why is she so shocked?

Right, she doesn't know about my pregnancy.

"You are preggie?!"

I nod.

"I knew it!" She exclaims.

She pulls me into a very, very tight hug.. I tap her back gently to release me but she doesn't budge.

"Anna.. you're squeezing the life outta me!"

She quickly lets me go.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt the baby!"

I rolled my eyes... I was talking about myself!

She takes the water from me and pours me a glass.... she hands it to me and I took large gulps.

"Debs, you are preggie! That's good news, why are you sad instead?"

I drop the glass on the table and took a deep breath.

"That bastard Andre!"

"Andre? What did he do?" She asked.

I glared into the distance, imagining I'm actually glaring at Andre... right now I can hardly breathe, I can hear the sound of my heart breaking.

"Don't tell me he denied the baby"

That did it, the tears I was trying to hold back unleashed and flows down with great force.

"We.. we broke up!" I cried.

"What!!"

"He's getting married to Olivia!" I said in between tears.

"Oh!" Anna simply exclaims and I think I saw her smile... but it might be my unsettled mind playing tricks on me.

But what is wrong with everyone saying "oh!"

Anna brings me into a hug.

"It's alright, everything is gonna fall into place!" She said.

I cried more.

"How? I'm pregnant and I don't have a job.. how am I gonna care for my baby and I?"

I heard her chuckling and I raised my head.

"Why are you chuckling?"

"Nothing! You just look funny crying!"

I pushed her away from me.

"I shouldn't have crossed paths with him... I regret knowing him!"

Anna laughs.

"Fine! Let's forget about Andre, he's not worth your tears... beside, crying is not good for your baby, it'll make your baby ugly"

"Really?!"

She nods.

"Yeah, I read in a science book, that pregnant mothers shouldn't cry or their babies will look so ugly!"

I stopped crying and stares at her suspiciously... I can't tell if she's lying or telling the truth!

"Don't give me that look, it's scientifically proven!"

I sob a few minutes and stopped... she's the scholar between us and have read so many books, so I believe her.

Also, now is not time for crying.. I should think of how to get money and feed for my baby and I.

"Anna, about the contract with CHIC.... when are we gonna start getting work?"

She does a little thinking.

"Soon!" She replies.

"Soon? Can you make it sooner?"

"Why?"

My hands subconsciously move to my stomach and rubs it gently.

"I need to save some money for my baby and I.. and you know, I'm running out of time. I'm pregnant and soon my baby bump will start showing... nobody wants a pregnant model, right?"

Anna nods thoughtfully.

"You're right... well, they called me this morning and told me to get my female model ready!"

"Really?!"

"Yeah, there's a new design and they said only my model can model it"

Oh my goodness! Heaven must be smiling down at me.

"That's good news!"

"So, two days from now.. you'll be seen on TV!"

"Anna, you're my life saver!" I embraced her briefly.

I pull away and she wipes my tears... ok, I don't know why my tears won't stop running.

"Good take a warm bath... later we'll talk about the design"

I nod and rushes off to her room... Andre, in your face!

Writer's pov

Immediately Debby left to take her bath, Anna dialed Andre's number... as if Andre have been waiting for her call.

He pick up on the first ring.

"Anna, is my Angel there yet?"

"Yes, Mr Knight, she's fine!"

"And what I told you? Is it done?!"

Anna nods.

"Yes! Don't worry, she didn't suspect a thing!"

"Thank you!"

"It's nothing.. I'm just helping my naive friend!"

Andre chuckles from the other side.

"Oh, I won't see her for two days, please take extra care of her... she's carrying my child"

"I know and congrats!"

"Thanks, please, take extra care of them... they are both my life!"

"Yes, sir!"

*Anna, why is water so cold?* Debby called from the bathroom.

"Don't let her bath cold water!" Andre said... he heard her complaining about the water just now.

"Yes, Mr Knight, I should go attend to her!"

"Ok, good night!"

"Going night!" Anna hangs up.

*Annaaaaa!*

Anna rolls her eyes.

"I'm coming!"
