Billionaire Baby Daddy

Thirty Seven

I get into the black van in a trance. "What did Sydney say to you?” My mother asks when I get comfortable. “You've been out of it.” She says sneakily.

"I love you.” He told me that. He told me he loves me

"Okay. You're smiling. Now I'm curious.” My mum laughs and I look at her and the urge to hug her overwhelms me. I place my hands around her cheeks and bring her close to me and kiss her cheeks and she laughs. I'm just so happy that I don't know what to do. I want to scream in happiness and sing in my so bad voice. I got my voice from my dad apparently.

"He loves me." I laugh as a tear falls. Candice pats my back. I even forgot she's here.

"I never knew I'd get to see my Bella in love." My mum says as I smile. What she says hits me. I never got to say the words back. Am I in love with Sydney Kings? I think of all the times we were together. The arguments, the time in the cottage, him teaching me how to shoot and time in the apartment.

I really do miss him right now. He's made me so angry many times but maybe I should blame the pregnancy hormones? And talking about pregnancy, he's been so supportive and helped a lot. He'll be a great dad. I think about my dad's death. Will he be disappointed that I married the man who's father killed him?

"Mum?" I turn to my mother and find her looking at me expectantly. “Hmm...”

"Would dad approve of my marriage? Would he hate me for marrying a mafia lord? Would he be disappointed in me for carrying their blood in my womb?" My heart beats so fast when I ask these questions. I never realized the weight of this matter before I asked

"Oh Bella." My mother puts her hand on mine. "You are one of the strongest women I know." I look at her ridiculously. Did she look at herself? She only gives me a small smile and continues. “You've been through so much amd look at you right now. How could he not be proud of you?" She looks behind me at where Candice is and leans towards me.

"You told me Sydney wants an out of all this?” I nod. "Then your dad would have been happy. Sydney is so different from his dad and others and I approve of him.” I smile. "I saw how he looked at you at the airport." She winks and my cheeks heat. I smile at what she says.

"I never told him I love him mum." I say defeated and my mother gives me a sad smile.

"You will. He'll be back for you.” She says. It is then I notice the car stopping. And I turn to Candice

"What's happening?” I notice she's taking out a gun. She stands and moves to the window and looks outside.

"We are under an attack. I've notified Luke and he's on his way. He should be here in two minutes." She then looks at my belly. "Don't worry. Just give me a gun." I already know she thinks of me as a liability. A swollen bellied woman would be hard ta move fast.

She looks at me hesitantly woth her cold brown eyes and I say in my authoritative vote to hand me a gun which she does with a whatever. I roll my eyes and prepare it in seconds. I turn to my mother and see she already has a gun.

"You shoot?" I ask dumbly and she smirks. Carolina Styles just smirked at me.

"What do you expect from a woman who's fiance was the best shooter in the FBI?" And she winks. I love this cocky side of hers. I laugh and another puzzle fits in. No wonder I'm good with guns.

We position ourselves strategically. My mother lies down on one side of the van and Candice on the other side. I kneel on one of the chairs in between since I can't lie down.

"Let's do this ladies." Candice says with a smirk when we hear the door shuffle. We wait expectantly for the door that seems to be taking long to open. "Just get done with it." I groan lowly and both Candice and my mum hear and they snicker. The door opens and the first thing we see is a gun before the hand and body appears. Looks like the person knows not to underestimate us.

"Thought you could fool us 'sisters'?" A man says in an Italian accent. He opens the door fully and I see his face. He has tattoos everywhere. "Just get out. We don't want any blood shed especially near a pregnant woman, yes?" He says but Candice shoots him between his forehead. My mother let's out a small shriek but composes herself immediately. See, I got a strong woman as a mother. I smile in pride.

As the man falls down with a thud, gunshots are heard around the van.

"Isabella. Don’t get out. We'll be fine." My mother says and my eyes widen.

"No mum. If you get out I'll follow you." I panic. I see a man coming near the van and I shoot at him on his throat. Gotcha! “You're pregnant Isabella." Like that should be the only valid excuse.

"Luke should be here any second now. He's got back up." Candice says making me sigh in relief.

I look at the top and see the roof window. Should I take this risk? I ask myself after ten minutes and no sign of Luke or his people. The gunshots have increased. I take another gun and stand then open the roof window.

“What are you doing Bella?" My mother hisses but I ignore her and stand comfortably. I look around md see different men andnone ave noticed me here. I smirk. I love urprises. I shoot the closest one eforemoving to the others néxt to im>Other men look at the falling anes in surprise and try to-find the shooter. I kneel down sofast before they see me making me to feel slightly uncomfortable in my belly. I sit on the chair and rub my belly soothingly.

"Are you okay?” My mother asks worriedly. "Yes. Eleven are down." I say facing Candice who smiles at me.

"Since they are less we can get out and fight." Candice says looking at my mum. "Well, only the two of us." She clarifies looking at my mother.

"Let's do this." My mum says and fastens her bulletproof coat. They both take tw® guns and get out with, determined faces. I look at my mum worriedly. "I love you mum." I shout, "And Jove you baby. Now have asses to kick." She says and gets Gut of my sight. The gunshots increase and I start panicking.

‘What should I do?’ And where is Luke? I start searching for Candice’s phone. I know she left it somewhere. I go to her bag and look for it and find it. I dial Sydney's number hoping that I haven't mistaken any digit and press call.

"Sydney Kings.” I hear his voice. "Luke should be here. Where is he?" I ask.

"Izzy? Thank God you're okay. What are you talking about? Why should Luke be there?" He starts to panic and I sense it but he covers it immediately.

"We're being shot at and he should've been here ages ago." I hiss. I'm getting stressed "Izzy baby. Calm down. Brea...”

"Don't tell me to fucking calm down when my mother is out there shooting at people while I'm here. Just fucking send people as fast as you can." I cut the call and throw the phone against a chair. I immediately hear my mother’s voice in pain

I take a gun and get out as fast as my pregnant body takes me. I try to run towards her voice as I shoot two more people. I see her behind the car hiding and holding her shoulder that that is soaked in blood.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mummy. Hold on. I cut a piece of the sister's robe and tighten it around the wound.

“You shouldn't be out here baby." She says before she groans.

‘I know. But those men made me angry. They should have known never to mess with an angry . pregnantwoman.” With that I x positionny mother in a comfortable positisn before I stand with a. determined mind. They unleashed the mafia lord's wife withty me when they hurt my mother. Content belongs to
