A Very Bad Billionaire (BWWM Contemporary Romance Novel) by Vivian Ward Page A

know everything I needed to know soon. Kaiden grabbed me by the hand and led me into the house.
     
    “Eva, I know you said that he’s sleeping already but would it be okay if the two of us went upstairs?” Kaiden asked.
     
    “Now Kaiden, you know I would never tell you no. You’re always more than welcome. Just try to be quiet. He hasn’t been asleep all that long.”
     
    Still holding onto my hand, the two of us walk through the living room, into a hallway and up a set of stairs. I loved the sound of the older house creaking under our feet. It reminded me of the house I grew up in. At the top of the stairs, to the right was a door that was slightly cracked. The room was dark except for the shine coming from a nightlight plugged into the wall.
     
    Kaiden walked into the room and motioned for me to follow. Standing at the foot of the bed, I could see a little boy sleeping. He was adorable. He had light brown hair and a fair complexion. He had the adorable chubby cheeks that kids have when they are not quite a baby any longer but still not grown out of their baby fat. I looked over to Kaiden and could see that he was beaming. He had a sincere, permanent smile.
     
    He walked over and sat down on the mattress next to the sleeping boy and started to gently stroke his cheek. I was amazed to see this side of Kaiden. He was being so soft and gentle. I would have never guessed that this side of him even existed. I watched in awe as the boy began to stir, tossing and turning until he sensed our presence. He rubbed his eyes, sat up in bed, smiled and wrapped his arms around Kaiden’s neck.
     
    “I love you, daddy,” the little boy said.
     
    “I love you too buddy,” was Kaiden’s response.
     
    Kaiden gave him a kiss on the forehead as the boy laid his head back down onto his pillow and fell right back to sleep. He looked over to me just as I was wiping a tear from my eye. I was so surprised to see such a genuine moment of love and emotion, even if it was just for a few seconds. After taking one more long look at the boy and smiling, Kaiden got up off the bed and walked over to me, whispering into my ear.
     
    “Come on, he needs his rest. Let’s go downstairs so we can talk about this.”
     
    I followed him out of the room and felt a warmness in my heart. That boy called him daddy. That had to be his son and just going by what I witnessed with my own eyes, Kaiden loved him like crazy.
     
    When we got downstairs, Eva, the woman who had answered the door earlier was seated on the couch watching television. To her right was a man that appeared to be about the same age. When they saw us coming, they both stood up. Kaiden introduced me to the man. His name was Frank, and he was Eva’s husband.
     
    “So Natalia,” Kaiden said. “That little boy upstairs is named Andy. He’s my son and he’s two years old. Frank and Eva are Andy’s grandparents and they’ve done an excellent job taking care of him. Hopefully, you understand why I wanted to bring you here instead of just telling you about him.”
     
    I nodded that I understood as I was so emotional that I found myself unable to speak.
     
    “Why don’t you two come into the kitchen with me?” Eva said. “I’ll make a pot of coffee and we can catch up.”
     
     

CHAPTER TWELVE
    Kaiden
     
     
    As we were all seated around the table, everyone seemed to be looking at each other to see who was going to start talking. Frank and Eva weren’t going to begin the conversation because they still didn’t know what was going on with me or why I had brought this woman they had never seen before to their house. I knew Natalia had questions but didn’t want to ask them, instead choosing to wait and see what information I would offer about the situation. I figured it would be better for me to lay everything out on the table.
     
    “First of all, Frank and Eva, I appreciate you letting me in to see Andy even though it’s so late at night. As both of you know, I have
