Billionaire Baby Daddy

Thirty Six

Isabella's POV

We just arrived two days ago in Toronto. This is the best gift Sydney has given me. Time to bond with my mother as he's away. He knows how much I want to make up for lost time with my mother and he did it before I even told him so. He also thought that having my mum here with me when I was about to give birth would be good for me. I know deep down he's scared to leave me alone incase anything happened to him and to say I'm terrified would be an understatement. The other reason Sydney sent my mum with me was for protection. The Italians could come for her and take her like they did to Harry. Harry. I still can't believe that witch Amelia would have them take him away. I don’t even know if he’s alive.

"What's wrong baby?” My mother's voice startles me. I look up and see her giving me her small smile. I try to smile back but I can’t. "I just hope Harry is okay. And I kinda miss Sydney." I say but she smiles at that. She hugs me and I instantly melt in her embrace.

"He'll find Harry. You'll see.” She kisses the crown of my head and I smile. "And are you saying I'm boring?" She pushes me away and fake glares at me and I laugh

"You are the best mum." I kiss her cheek and she hugs me again. Our moment is ruined by a door bell. My mum and I look at each other. No one knows we're here. My mum kisses the crown of my head one last time and gets up. "For a record, I miss Max so much.” She winks and gets out of my new room to see who's at the door. Max. her doctor proposed a month ago after talking to me before she was discharged.

I just giggle and take a pistol under my pillow and tiptoe to listen.

"I need to talk to Isabella. It's urgent." I hear a familiar voice that I can't place. I move to the wall closer and try to peek. "Who are you? And who is. Isabella?" My mum asks and I try to hold in my laugh.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"The pregnant woman peeking knows me.” Luke says and turns to my direction with a smile. I move from the wall wide eyed. "How did you know?" I ask.

Luke just shrugs nonchalantly. “That's just how you are." He moves to the couch and sits and I stare at him flabbergasted. Am I that easy to read? I try to mask my shock and move closer to him but place the gun behind me. My mum sees this and looks at me questionably.

"We have a problem." Luke's face turns serious. For once my heartbeat skips. Is this about Sydney? Is he hurt? Luke raises his head and looks at me and panic crosses his face as he stands and comes to me. "Shit, sorry Isa. Sydney is okay. It's just that Liam knows you're here and so both of you have to move.” He leads me to a seat. My mother gives me a glass of water and I drink.

"Liam?" I've heard that name somewhere. “You mean Sydney's brother?" Luke nods at this."How'd he know?" Fear grips me at once.

"He has someone following him. Be ready at four pm. You'll have visitors and you have to do whatever they say. Don't argue and just follow instructions. I look at my mother and find her looking at me. She nods at me and I nod back. "Okay." I say and Luke stands to leave.

"Sydney says hi." He says with a grin and I find myself grinning back. "Why are you grinning when you say that?” I ask but he only continues grinning until he's out of the house leaving me confused. I look back towards my mum. "He's so weird." She only chuckles at this and then nods at that.

"I don't remember any Liam from this crazy life story." My mum says as she tries to lighten up the mood. I had to explain everything to her when we landed and got into this house. I told her about dad's death and she told me she knew about it. Dad told her everything he did apparently. What she didn't know was that they took me and gave me away. And why.

"He's Sydney's brother. He wants Sydney's title and he hates him." I tell her as I try to remember what Sydney told me. “Sydney told me he's so stone cold and enjoys people's cries.” I shudder at that.

"Do you think it was a good idea to merge the company with Sydney's.” My mum asks after a few minutes of silence. I thought about it and asked the lawyer about it. "Yeah. I trust him.” I say and take a sip of water.

"And I trust you.” My mum says.

I hear someone knocking at the door. My eyes automatically move to the clock and I see it's almost four o'clock. My mum and I had finished packing our clothes an hour ago

"I think they're here." I hear my mother say. I take the pistol and follow her. She takes a deep breath and opens the door revealing three... catholic sisters? They smile and we smile back awkwardly.

"I'm sister Lydia. She's sister Lilian and she's sister Jane." The one who seems to be the leader points to the others. "We're here to share the gospel of our loving God. We noticed you're new so we wanted to pass by.” One of them says with a smile. My mum moves aside letting them in while her face is filled with shock.

"Have a seat.” My mother says as I watch them

"We'd love to but you both have to take off your clothes first." Sister Jane says. I hear a gasp beside me and I almost laugh. Sister Lilian and Lydia start laughing and I lose my patience.

"Who the fuck are you guys?” I ask aggressively and my hand moves to the pistol. "Hey, calm down. We're here to get you out of here. But first you have to change into these." Lydia says.

“You're not sisters are you?” I ask and Jane snickers. "Nope. We work for Sydney Kings.” My hand relaxes but I don't let my guard down.

“Who reallyare you?" I ask. Lydia removessher robe leaving behind. a tank top-and denim shorts. "We don't have time for introductions. Let’ suet moving.” She givesne the robe and I look at it questionably.

"Tell me who you are. If you work for Sydney then you work for me." I say strongly. Lydia smirks and gives me a card that looks like Joey's. Riley Rodriguez.

Jane gives me hers before she gives my mother her robe. Mia Rodriguez. I look at them. "We're sisters." Janes clarifies and I only nod. Lilian gives me hers: I notice she has her robes on. Candice Martins. I give hercard ancshe puts it back in her Shorts that she's worn inside thetobe.

"Mia and Riley-will stay here as I take both of youdta car waiting for us a block away. No need to take your -> bags nowsince someone might be watching us." Candice explains reallywish I had my phone here and tetSydney what's happening.

"Can I make a call?" I ask. Candice tells me it's okay and gives me her phone. I go to my room and dial Sydney's number. "Sydney Kings.” I hear Sydney's cold voice and I smile.

"Hi Mr Kings. Its Mrs Kings." I say playfully and Sydney doesn't say anything for a few seconds. "Izzy? Baby, is that you?” My heart literally stops for two seconds when he calls me that:

I laugh. “You missed me that much huh?" I say half seriously and half jokingly. "You can't even imagine how much." Comes the reply. Did I call him to get these heart stops or whatever they are called?

"You sent Candice, Mia and Riley?” I ask.

"Yeah. They are some of the best fighters I know. You can trust them.”

"Okay. Thanks. I need to get back to them." I don't want to stop talking to him. I missed him so much. "Yeah you do. I'll come to you. I'll always know where you are baby.” That name again. Damn.

"I have the tracker inside my body. Don’t worry about me." I say and he laughs.

"Yeah. And Izzy..."

“Hmm.”

"I love you.”
