Free Expecting The CEO's Baby - The Complete Series: BWWM Interracial Billionaire Pregnancy Romance by Mia Caldwell Page A

my suitcases in the trunk of the car. But when I got into the driver’s seat and prepared to leave, I noticed the bag from the drugstore. The pregnancy test! I’d forgotten all about it after all the drama with Andrew.
    I knew I wouldn’t be able to wait until I drove back into the city and crashed at Natalie’s place to take the test. I needed to know the results now . I let myself back into the mansion, grateful I hadn’t attracted any of the servants’ attention with my comings and goings. Instead of going back upstairs to one of the bedrooms, I used the guest bathroom right near the front entrance.
    I’d taken the test so many times already, I didn’t need to read the instructions. I peed on the stick and waited the three minutes for the plus or minus sign to appear. But this time, instead of hoping to see the plus sign, I desperately wished for the minus one.
    The abrupt change in attitude felt weird. After months of wanting nothing more than to conceive his child, I now wanted no further ties to Andrew. If I wasn’t pregnant, there wouldn’t be any trouble with his board of directors and he wouldn’t be in danger of losing his company. I would give him back the money he’d already paid me, and then we could go back to our lives as they were before.
    My stomach knotted up as I thought about my new car and the student loans I’d already paid off. I wouldn’t be able to give Andrew back the entire million, but he’d receive most of it. I’d have to find a way to repay the almost eighty thousand dollars I’d spent. Of course, eighty thousand dollars probably meant nothing to him, given his vast wealth, but I would pay him back anyway. There was no way I’d let the gold-digging whore label even remotely apply to me.
    After checking the clock on my phone and seeing that seven minutes had passed, I looked at the pregnancy stick, hoping that the minus sign would be there, like it had been on all the other sticks. But this one wasn’t like all the other sticks. This time, a plus sign appeared. I was pregnant.
    I slumped to the floor as my heart thudded in my chest and my stomach continued to knot. This should have been one of the happiest moments of my life. I’d conceived a child with a man with whom I’d begun to fall in love. Oh, who was I kidding? I’d fallen hard for Andrew weeks ago. And up until today, I thought he was falling for me.
    A desperate cling to the hope of mistaken vision made me check the stick again. The plus sign was still there, reminding me I was no longer making choices only for myself. I had a baby to think about now, and like it or not, Andrew and I would be part of each other’s lives for many years to come.
    “I’m pregnant,” I muttered to myself, still not quite believing it. But instead of it being a dream that had finally come true, it felt like a nightmare that was just beginning.
     
    THE END

PART THREE

CHAPTER ONE
     
    I’m pregnant, woohoo!
    I’m pregnant, oh no.
    My thoughts were at war with themselves as I drove through the Philadelphia traffic towards the apartment I used to share with my best friend, Natalie. I hoped she hadn’t found another roommate yet because I didn’t have any place else to go. Since I still had most of the million dollars Andrew had already paid me, I could have booked a room at the best hotel in town, if not just buying a place of my own.
    But I didn’t want to use any of Andrew’s money. We’d had a terrible fight about the media possibly finding out about our arrangement of his paying me three million dollars to conceive and bear his child. I’d stormed away from him, vowing to have nothing else to do with him. As soon as I found a job, I would pay back the money of Andrew’s I’d already spent paying off my student loans and buying this car.
    Who’s going to hire you now that you’re pregnant? My subconscious taunted. I’d had a job offer to work at NKL Laboratories as a chemical engineer. But a hiring freeze had been
