The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 11: The Office
Gwen thought it was a good decision to have gone for a formal look before leaving the house.She hadn't imagined that she would accompany Finn to his office, but she was at least presentable now that the situation called for it.As they entered the building, she appreciated the fact that Finn had a personal entrance from the garage, so she wouldn't have to walk by his side in front of every single person.But, as they reached his office's floor, they did meet a few people that threw curious and intrigued glances at her. They probably weren't used to seeing Finn enter his office with a strange woman at his side.He was always the kind of guy that kept his work life and his personal life separate. Maybe that's why everyone was looking at her with a question mark on their faces.His office was crowded with a lot of men in suits and a woman who she assumed was his secretary Melanie."You can come in, it won't take long," he said to Gwen as they reached the door.She felt uncomfortable with
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 12: A Job Offer
"What?" she asked, in a low voice.Though she hadn't known what he might say, she had never imagined he would offer her a job."I'm not doing this as a favor, before you think that. But it could be a good thing. I would be close to Cody and you could grow in your career while being with your son," Finn explained, his voice tinged with a bit of hope.Gwen suddenly felt dizzy. She was still trying to adjust to the latest changes, and now there was another offer on the table. One that wasn't bad at all. But she had to remind herself of why it could turn out to be a terrible idea. Even though Finn didn't sound naïve, she knew that it could be very complex for her to work with him. Co-parenting was already something that was starting to give her nightmares. She could hardly imagine working closely with her ex.At that moment, it was pretty clear to Gwen that her feelings for Finn still existed. She was trying very hard to ignore it, but every day it was more obvious that what she thought i
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 13: Introducing Dad
After setting things up with Finn, he showed her around the company and gave her an office and an assistant, Joe, a new graduate who was very eager to help.Gwen pretended not to notice a few eyes checking her out. She was sure that was going to be something frequent, especially after everyone find out that she was the mother of Finn's son. She would have to prepare herself for that.After getting acquainted with everything, Finn asked someone from the marketing department to guide Gwen through their internal process. He excused himself for a bit and said that he would meet her later to take her back home.Gwen was excited, though she still felt butterflies in her stomach. It had been a long time since she started something new in her life, so she was trying not to freak out.She texted Stephanie and asked her to watch Cody for a bit longer, since she had to settle in a bit. She would have to find a new school for Cody as soon as possible; she couldn't continue to ask favors from her f
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 14: Bonding Time
Finn squatted down by their side, as softly and calmly as he could, but Gwen could tell that he was also extremely nervous.What if Cody didn't accept him? It was almost visible how his brain was working at that moment. She knew it was also a very important moment for him, and she could not neglect that. If it was the other way around, she would be feeling desolated. Cody looked hypnotized by Finn, as if it was the first time seeing the man. Gwen was also very nervous. What if this hurt him in some way? What if Cody resented her for hiding his father for so long?It was true that maybe Cody wasn't old enough to understand all of that, so all she could hope was that Cody didn't give it much importance now that he had his dad around."I think I would like it, mommy," he finally said, and Finn let out a deep sigh in relief."That's great, baby. Remember that mommy said that your dad worked a lot and didn't have time to visit us?" she asked, still keeping her voice soft.Cody nodded, sti
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 15: Gossips
A few weeks had passed since Gwen introduced Finn to Cody, and they were spending a lot of time together. She was actually surprised that Finn would have so much free time to spend with him, but she wasn't complaining.Ever since Cody discovered that he had a father, the little boy talked about it day and night, which was making her kind of jealous. But seeing her son so happy and delighted was worth anything.Finn was also much happier lately, and people at the company were starting to comment. There was also her new job. Gwen had been busy trying to find a nice place to live, while handling everything she had to learn at work. It was not easy at all, but she could manage it.She asked Finn to help her ship her and Cody's belongings from their old home. She also called the landlord of her previous home to cancel their rent contract, and hired a company to pack her stuff. Finn was going to take care of the rest for her.He also insisted that he was the one to choose the apartment she
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 16: The Party
Gwen still couldn't believe that it was already the night of the party. As she put some make up on, her hand shook with nervousness. She thought about taking Stephanie with her for moral support, but her friend said it would be weird to be there, since it was a company party."How am I going to deal with all this alone?" she asked when Stephanie rejected her suggestion. "I'll probably be alone there most of the time, having to bear everyone looking at me like I'm some gold digger."And that was exactly what happened.She agreed to let Cody go with Finn, since it would be weird if she appeared with a kid by her side since no one else was going to bring children to the party. Finn didn't have a plan for his announcement, so he simply said he was going to bring Cody with him and introduce him as his son to everyone while walking around the hall.Of course people asked who the mother was, since Finn wasn't married. Gwen heard a few comments about the kid not being Vivienne's son, which ma
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 17: The End of the Night
Gwen released her arm from Finn's hand, anger replacing her previous nervousness. She wasn't that rude to his mother anyway. Mrs. Lane had been much worse, with her rude implications and sneering looks.So why did Gwen have to accept that and stay quiet like a submissive person? She wasn't going to accept it, especially not from his mother."Maybe you should ask her instead. I don't owe you any explanation," she replied, looking at Finn in disappointment. It wasn't his fault though, and she knew that. Finn had no idea of the shared history between the two women, but Gwen wasn't going to be the one to tell him anything. He wouldn't believe her anyway."What do you mean ask her? You two just met," Finn said, also angry.Gwen gulped."I don't have to say anything to you, okay? And you know what? I'm going home with Cody. This party is over for me. Actually, it didn't even begin.""No, you're not," Finn refused."You don't tell me what to do," she replied, with her head up. "It's already
The Billionaire's Missing Heir Chapter 18: A New Guy
Good thing the next day was still the weekend. Gwen didn't feel like facing Finn or any of the employees. The previous night had been terrible for her and all her dreams were filled with giant eyes staring and disgusting fingers pointing at her.She knew it was going to be hard, but when it happened, she wasn't ready for it. Now, she would have to face all of it at her job, every single day, until they had something better to talk about and forget about her.She shared it all with Stephanie, and the woman was about to spit fire from her nostrils. "Holy sh*t!" she whispered, trying to not to be heard by Cody. "How can someone be so fake? That woman is the devil in person, that's what. I can't believe she pretended not to know you," she complained, not trying to hide the anger she was feeling.That made Gwen feel a bit better. At least someone understood what she was going through at that moment."And Finn was trying to understand what happened? Thank God you didn't say anything, right?
