A Billionaire and a Baby

A Billionaire and a Baby
Marie Ferrarella

WILL YOU DELIVER MY BABY?Reporter Sherry Campbell thought she might be asking too much, but her baby was coming and the only one in sight was enigmatic corporate raider St. John "Sin-Jin" Adair. Despite his generosity, he disliked her because she pried into the secret past he desperately wanted to hide. Lucky for her, that didn't stop the billionaire businessman from becoming her hero.From the moment she cornered him in the elevator, Sin-Jin felt Sherry's hold on him. He wanted privacy and yet he wanted to kiss her into next year. And now after delivering Sherry's adorable son, Sin-Jin found himself yearning to become a part of her family. But would Sherry turn him away when she finally did get the scoop on his past?

“You find me attractive?”

“Yes,” Sin-Jin shouted again, then lowered his voice, “in a very irritating sort of way.” He took the empty glass out of her hand and put it squarely on the table. “Now, I think it’s time you showed me where this car of yours allegedly died.”

Sherry looked up with wide eyes. “I don’t think I can do that.”

“And why is that?”

Spacious or not, the room began to feel as if it closed in on her and there was this awful pain emanating from the center of her body. “Because I think my water just broke.”

Sin-Jin was almost disappointed. You’d really think a reporter could do better than that. “Ms. Campbell, I wasn’t born yesterday or the day before that.”

She was having trouble breathing. “I don’t think that when you were born is going to be an issue, but this baby…wants to be born…today.”

Chapter One

“Don’t I know you from somewhere?”

The question was finally directed at Sherry Campbell after ten minutes of covert and not-so-covert staring on the part of the new office assistant as she copied a file. The assistant, standing at the Bedford World News’s centrally located copy machine, wasn’t even aware that the state-of-the-art machine had ceased to spit out pages and was now content to sit on its laurels, waiting for her next move.

The assistant’s next move, apparently, was to continue staring. Her brow furrowed as she attempted to concentrate and remember just where and when she had seen her before.

Sherry stifled a sigh of annoyance.
