The Persistent CEO Wants A Baby

“Can I come in?” Blossom asked as she perp into Tihana’s room.

Everyone was retiring back home group after group, and only few remains. Blossom had just noticed that Tihana wasn’t there anymore. About Trenton and Aiden, she had seen them both walks away from the crowd.

How badly she had wanted to follow them behind and find out what they’re talking about. But since she’s trying to make a change in her life, She felt that will be inappropriate and so, she had stayed back.

“Blossom? Please come in.” Tihana stands up from her bed and sat instead… Trying to put on a happy face so she couldn’t see how unhappy and stressed she looked.

“Hey sis…. Why are in your room instead of having fun?”

“Nah, I’m not really that much of a party type. Most especially, I’m stressed and just need to catch some sleep before Collins wakes up.”

“Oh. Sorry about that. He’s in his room?”

Tihana nods. “With the nannies.”

“I’ll leave you to rest then.” Blossom give her a smile and turn to leave but Tihana stopped her.

“Will you like to stay with me for another couple of minutes?”

Blossom didn’t hide the excitement from her face and had happily moved towards Tihana and sat on the bed, next to her.

Tihana could only smile. Her relationship with Blossom is getting better as days goes on. And she had gotten to see the sweetest and lovely side of Blossom. It had made her wonder why she haven’t seen this side of hers all these year? Probably because Blossom had introduced her to the bad side of hers instead.

It was overwhelming to have only the cutest people around you who you can share you happiness and sadness with. Diana had been busy lately, mostly busy hanging out Wayne.

Tihana had complained to her about how jealousy she feels that her best friend is slipping off her hand and Diana had laughed and told her the way she feels right now, is the exact way she had felt when she had gotten married to Aiden..

How ironic?

But at least Tihana’s case is different, as she won’t be too lonely. She has Emma and Blossom to cringe around her. And mostly, she had a baby that will need her attention 24 hours a day.

“Trenton told me he talked with you.” Blossom said when she couldn’t keep up with the silence between them.

Even though they were trying their bet to catch up with lot of things, Blossom was still keeping a noticable distance. It was like, she’s avoiding anything that might cause an issue between her and Tihana once again.

“Yeah. An hour ago .. you both are dating?”

Blossom nods. “yunno, I don’t actually know how much I’ve been attached and how much I’m in love with him until I learnt you’re my sister.”

“So, you’re saying finding out were related made you realize you love Trenton?” They both laughed at how ridiculous and dumb that sounded.

“Not that! I mean… I was always afraid of being lonely. Aiden had always been there for him, and Trenton too. Both of them were the best people I know growing up…. I guess I was obsessed with Aiden more because he’s so hot and charming.”

Tihana didn’t interrupt her but when she said that last part, she had smiled. How could resist Aiden? He was a prince charming come to earth.

“Figuring out we’re related. I wanted to make things right, and I have to start from stopping to hurt you…. Trenton had a plan on his sleeve alongside me, I had told him not to hurt any of you.”

It sends chills down Tihana’s body. As she had wondered what could’ve happened to her or Aiden if Blossom had carried on with her plans. Tho Blossom didn’t say what the plan was, with the way she had described it… It sounded dangerous.

“I realize I’ll need someone to cry my tears for me… And, I’ll always run to Trenton. He was always there for me.”

“Trenton is a good man.” Tihana tells her, as she had no idea what else to say.

“I know…. It felt amazing to have someone to love you genuinely after craving for love for so long. You and Aiden at both amazing and the both beautiful matching couple.”

“Thank you Blossom. You’re so sweet.”

Tihana had a smile on her face. But the smile hadn’t stayed for too long.

A beautiful matching couple?! How is everyone ignoring the fact that this marriage is fake and a contract marriage?!

Tihana could’ve concluded it’s because they didn’t know… But no! Every one knows about it now and it pisses her off that everyone had to keep talking about how cute they look together.

Giving her unnecessary hope to a better solution. How badly she wanted to talk to Aiden, to hear his plans!

“I’ll be right back, Tihana. You should get some rest too.” Blossom said and stood up.

“Alright.” Tihana calmly muttered and watched her leaves. Then she sighed and lay on the bed, stating at the ceiling.

Grandfather stood and watched Ms Turner keep talking over and over again. He hadn’t been given the chance to even say something, she had seemed to have a lot she just wants to spill out and he’s going to let her talk as long as she damns fit.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Aiden is going to come in a time, where he’ll hate you and won’t want to have anything to do with you. Don’t repeat the same mistake twice.”

“All I’ve done was for Aiden! Everything I did was to see he lives a beautiful fairly tale life.” He responded in defeat.

“What fairly tale ends with the characters not ending together? You could’ve thought about all these before getting him involved with a contract marriage.”

“Aiden doesn’t love that girl, I tell you. Remember?! He’s a play boy and all I had wanted to do was to pin him down with a child. That way, he’ll be responsible.”

“Responsible?! He can be what you wants to be even much more with Tihana on his side. Aiden loves her! They love eachother. I know this isn’t what we all expected.” Ms Turner breathed down and try to stay calm as much as possible.

“I understand everything got kissed up and didn’t turn out the way we all wanted. But when it comes to the matter of the heart.. you can’t stop it, not even the person in question can”.

“Blossom Norman. What do you think she did all that for?! She was willingly to sacrifice everything just to have Aiden as hers. If you continue like this, knowing how persistent Aiden is… Do you think he’s going to hear your opinion?”

The question had caught him off guard as he tries to see meaning in the words of his daughter in law. She was right, Aiden can go extra miles just to get what he wants not minding who he has to knock down on his way.

“Tihana is mad at you…. You’re the reason she’s in this mess too, and she did exactly what the contract had wanted. Still, you couldn’t come and congrats her? ”

“I don’t see why I have to.”

“You don’t have to! You need to. You’re such a hard nut.” Ms Turner stood up with her face all red and boiling in anger. For the past two hours, she and grandfather had been talking about this same issue over and over again.

And he doesn’t seem to be having a change of heart one bit. But Ms Turner isn’t going to let him ruin the life of her dear son.

“Well, since you wouldn’t want to do what’s right. Aiden will be proposing to her tomorrow, as he told me.. Stop him if you can.”

That had surely sounded like a threat. Grandfather sat and watched Ms Turner walks out of the building for the fourth time this week. He sighed and stood up, his back hurts a lot. A busy day it had been for him yesterday as he was going through the process of retirement, which of course… He had hiden from everybody including Aiden.. His grand child.
