Chapter 17
Where could she have gone then?
Vincent was pacing in his room, it took all in him to keep from going back home and confronting her and besides he wasn't sure she'd be home, she could've gone back to where she went yesterday.
A knock brought his attention back to the present, clearing his throat he called for his assistant to come in. Alexis sashayed in She was in her usual short skirt and barely buttoned shirt which barely covered her goodies. On a normal day the display would've gotten me in the mood and He'd have taken her on the sofa in his office but today was different.
The thought that Greta was sneaking off to cheat with another man was overwhelming though technically it wouldn't be cheating but he couldn't help the way he was feeling. Raising a hand, he stopped Alexis from moving closer.
"Where is she?" He asked her not wasting any precious time. "Daniel said she asked him to drive her to the clinic this morning and to not come back till 6pm in the evening." She answered looking slightly pissed at his disinterest in her.
"And he doesn't know where she went off to yesterday does he?" She shook her head.
"I gave him a simple job to take her wherever she wants to go and he couldn't even do that! If he had taken her yesterday it'd have been easier to find out where she went!"
"Don't be like that! You don't know what happened there! I'm quite sure she didn't let him know she was going out so she could go whore around." Vincent wanted to shun her so badly but the thought that she could be right made him shut his mouth. An idea popped in his mind and he motioned for her to shut her mouth.
"You said she's in the clinic right now?" He asked although he already knew the answer, he got up,taking the suit jacket that was hung on the back of his seat. He dashed past a fuming Alexis.
"Vincent!" He froze, Alexis had never used his real name before, it was always "boss" or "daddy" whenever they were alone. He could hear her walk towards him and a part of him wanted to bolt but he stayed still.
"You say she's just a baby host yet you care for her more you do for me, what's happening? D-do you love her now? Has she won your heart over with her stupid tactics?"
She placed her hand on his chest right where his heart beats and looked up at him,her eyes glossy. "Does this heart beat for her now?" She asked as a tear escaped the corner of one eye. Without saying a word he pulled her in, taking her mouth in his.

"So what do you have to say for yourself?" Greta narrowed a glare on her wayward brother, she'd have thought his condition would've humbled him a bit.
"There you were exchanging spit with the first girl you set your eyes on, for god sake Jordan!" She hit his arm to bring his attention from a nurse who had just come in the room, her brother was busy eying her butt ignoring her talks.
"What?!" He exclaimed, rubbing his arm which had a red spot already.
"How could you do that to Helen? I'm sure you're not so blind you know she loves you! You just woke up today and there you are eying women already what the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Nothing! Nothing okay? Besides I've been awake since yesterday you'd know if you cared enough Helen is the only one that gives a fuck about me and I feel guilty enough about what I did you have no right to talk to me about that okay! I'll talk to her about it and hopefully she'll forgive me." He shouted back at her and shifted on the bed away from her.
"Jordan that's not true and you know it. You're the only family I have left why won't I care about you?" He snorted. "I say you only care a bit because I'm the only family you have left."
She sighed, realizing her mistake.
"You know what? You're right I did wrong I've been too busy putting myself and my future on the line to raise money for you, I did wrong because instead of sitting beside you on your death bed I went out there looking for jobs and doing unimaginable things to raise money for your hospital bills and I'm sorry for that." She put in and rose from the chair stationed beside his bed.
He rose quickly and grabbed her hand. "Look I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that I was just disappointed that you weren't there when I made full recovery I didn't think it was because you were doing stuffs because of me, gosh I'm so stupid and I don't deserve you or Helen." He said, tears were beginning to drop from his eyes as he realized how horrible he'd been to his sister.
"Wow you've really changed a lot, former Jordan wouldn't have apologize easily I guess being sick as it's perks after all." She joked and laughed as he gave her his middle finger and cleaned his cheeks free of tears.
"I've really been a dick to you all my life so I wanna promise you now that from now on," he paused and gave her a wicked smile. "I'll be more of a dick to you, you've not seen anything."
She smiled at him and leaned in for a hug. "That's the brother I've missed." She cooed.
"Yeah whatever, wait what's-" he stared at her stomach his eyes bulging with the realization of what it contained yet he couldn't seem to wrap his mind around what he was seeing.
"Are you.." he pointed to the bump, his fingertip poking it to see if it was indeed real and his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.
Greta giggled at her brother's reaction, she thought It was cute. She let out a squeal as her brother swept her up twirling her until she felt dizzy.
"Jordan! Stop!" He quickly put her down and hugged her. "Oh my God I can't wait, when's it due?"
"In 6 months time," she answered and chuckled at his pout.
"So.. when's the wedding or have you done it without me? Please tell me I didn't miss my favorite sister's wedding?" He cried.
"No silly, I'd never have done it without you." He nodded then looked at her stomach and chuckled to himself. "Nathan, that bastard!"
Greta bit her lips and looked away, "actually it's not—,"
"Hey baby," both Greta and Jordan turned to look at the newcomer, it was Vincent clad in a black shirt that hung his body and khaki pants, a total different cloth from the one he wore that morning.
"Hi.." she breathed out trying to look cool and undisturbed by his presence. He bent down when he got to her and placed a kiss on her cheek and on her stomach. "Hi there baby." He greeted the bump before addressing Jordan who had his mouth wide open at the display.
"I'm Vincent Harry," he introduced.
"Are you Greta's boyfriend and are you the Vincent Harry CEO of Harry B&C?"
Vincent looked at greta, could see the discomfort evident and pulled her to him, looking down at her he held her gaze.
"The one and only, and your sister here is my girlfriend." he then looked jordan and blessed him with a gorgeous smile. Jordan looked so shocked Greta took pity on him.
"hm darling could you give us a minute please?" she asked giving him a pleading look.
"sure, i will be waiting at the doctor's office,"
"Why her office and not the reception?" her heart skipped a beat at what he might to discus with Casssie.
"Well i wanted to ask if Jordan could go home with us and also register your antenatal care here, figured you'd want to do it here instead of at that nosey doctor's place,"
"oh," she let out a nervous chuckle, she didn't know if she was ready for cassie to know yet.
"See you soon," he added after kissing her cheeks, throwing a light salute at Jordan who was too overwhelmed to reply.
Jordan couldn't wait enough for him to fully exit the room, he started firing all the questions she'd known he might ask without allowing her enough time to respond.
"Geez, can you calm down enough to let me answer your questions?"
"Can you blame me? I just fucking heard that my darling sister is dating the most eligible bachelor of our time, oh my God does that mean he's going to be the father of my niece?!"
"Well yeah," she answered timidly, it never occured to her that it might be a very important information especially among his fans and business partners, she sighed. If only it was real.
"I'm so overjoyed and also can't help but wonder... Did he force you to have his child? Or wait.. it's not for money is it? Because all these seem too sudden it's not even up to four months yet and you're already...
"It's real I love him and he loves me too, the baby was a m-mistake, one that we love and don't regret." She made sure to put in as much emotion as she could muster to convince her brother his doubts were wrong.
"I mean of course it's real, I could tell from the way he looked at you that he really loves you and you deserve him I swear he's way better than that Nathan and his boring romance, God! Our grandpa showed love to his girl better than him I always wondered how you coped,"
"Jordan!!"
"Fine! But I'm right and you know it, anyways tell me about how you two met..."
