Bride For Rent novel Chapter 40

"Little Ray, I don't...feel...so good" Felicity mumbled in the man's arms.

"What the hell Philip?" He raged and took Felicity from his arms.

"Easy man, I didn't do anything. I only offered her a glass of wine, is all" he raised his hands as he tried to explain the situation.

"A wine? Why in the world will you give her wine?" Raymond demanded.

"Chill man, she is an adult okay. She did say her aunt never let's her take one and I thought she was joking. I never knew one glass will get her drunk."

"Really? So if I haven't arrived now, you wouldn't have done anything?"

"Come on man, give me some credit. I'm old enough to not get my friend's wife drunk just to sleep with her okay. If I want sex there are a lot of ladies in there who are ready to hook up with me anytime. I only came out her to chat with her, you are so secretive and you never brings her out with you. I just wanted to get to know her and know why you don't want anyone to meet her."

"Did you satisfy your curiosity then?" Raymond was angry and it was evident both on his face and his tone.

"Really man, I know the setting looks somehow but believe me, I had nothing in my mind to do to your wife. I didn't even know she is gullible when I approached her."

"What did you say?"

Philip rolled his eyes "I'm not a teenager Raymond, I have conversed with her long enough to know that she isn't really that mature, but don't worry. Your secret is safe with me little Ray" he winked.

"Don't call me that!"

"Okay okay, easy man" he chuckled "don't worry, I won't tell a soul your wife calls you a special nickname."

His fingers traced her face and his heart melted. Just why is it not working? He thought he was finally getting rid of his feelings for her only to have everything slamming back into his heart when he saw her tonight. Maybe he wasn't trying hard enough, that means he has to try harder. He doesn't want to fall for her and he will do anything not to.

He left for his room when he was sure she had fell deep asleep. He didn't want her to wake up with him beside her, didn't want to start growing soft for her again.

The next day, Felicity woke up with a nagging headache. When Katherine came into her room, she was shocked to see her looking like hell "what happened to you dear?" She asked. She had spent the night after the party was over and she discovered it was already too late for her to leave.

"My head is aching and I'm feeling dizzy" Felicity replied trying to sit up on the bed.

"But why would you be feeling dizzy?" Katherine asked as she approached her on the bed.

"It's simple Aunt Katy. Little Ray slept with me last night, so I'm pregnant" Felicity said as she kneaded her temple softly.
