The Unwanted Bride: Claimed by the Billionaire - Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Cassie’s Pov
I was about to say something but Shawn beat me to it. “You are sexually frustrated, that's why you are angry at me.”
I was almost defending myself when he shut me up again. “But do you think you can handle my cock right now?” He said with desire in his eyes and I swallowed painfully, knowing the size of his length was my greatest fear.
Shawn completely closed the gap with me; his breath fanning against my neck. “Can you handle me now?”
I had no idea where I got my strength from but I pushed Shawn by his chest away from me before I lost my senses under his touch and stare.
“Your words mean nothing to me. I’m sure you say that to everyone.”
“Everyone?” He arched a confused brow at me.
“Oh please!” I scoffed, rolling my eyes at the same time. “You want me to believe that nasty room over there is for fancy and that you’ve never brought any woman there?”
“Are you jealous?” Shawn took a step closer to me.
“No! I’m just letting you know how shameful it is for you to use sweet words towards me. Reserve them for Bella and the rest”
He looked confused. “Who is Bella?”
“I know she’s one of your women.”
“You mean Bella, the maid?”
I said nothing.
“You really look down on me, don’t you? Why would you think I would ever have something to do with my staff?”
“Don’t you dare guilt trip me! For someone who has never been honest with me from the start, I have every right to believe whatever the hell I want to.”
“Would your anger vanish towards me if I fuck your brains out and make you cum right now?” Shawn whispered; his eyes burning with desire.
I squeezed my thighs together to ease some tension, really hoping that he didn’t see that.
“There’s probably no other thing I can do to make you feel better,” Shawn added and I threw him a nasty glare.
“I don’t want to have a child with you. Find another woman and let her grant you your wishes. Divorce me and I will work for you as a maid until the debt is repaid.”
Shawn was about to say something but I interrupted “Don’t try to bring up the bet!”
“I wasn’t going to do so. But the truth is that you do not have a choice. Shawn Junior is going to be conceived when we are both ready. I know you are. You just need a little push.”
“I’m usually not this calm too so you obviously hit yourself a jackpot.”
I felt myself burning in anger. I hated the fact that he was as stubborn as I was, making it hard for me to ruin this relationship.
“I honestly cannot relate to what you are talking about. But I am certain about one thing. If I ever birth a child, You would never be its father.” I ignored the hurt in Shawn’s eyes, shrugged him off me, and took steps towards the bathroom. Thankfully, he didn’t stop me this time around. But before the door came to a close behind me, I heard Shawn speak to me. “We are having dinner with my dad tonight. Get ready!”
………………………………………….
Shawn heaved a deep sigh the moment the door came to a close. He continued to get ready for work, purposely taking his time to see if Cassie was going to come out of the bathroom soon. He could hardly function yesterday in the office and he wasn’t willing to let the same repeat itself today.
After what felt like forever, Cassie strolled out in a towel with her dried body.

Cassie’s Pov
I stopped in my tracks upon sighting Shawn. I was just a few steps away from the bathroom door.
“Why are you still here?” I asked.
“My house.” He answered, staring as though he was about to eat me up.
I rolled my eyes, folding my arms around the towel to secure it well. “Don’t you have some early meetings to attend?”
“We are having breakfast together.”
I sighed, wondering when he was going to stop being nice to me. “Last night’s dinner ended in a disaster. I can’t eat with you now and still have dinner with you and Father. I can’t deal with you all the time.”
“‘It’s unfortunate you feel that way but you have no choice.”
I shook my head. “Breakfast with you or dinner with you and your father. I can’t do both.”
“Go get dressed, we are going down together.”
I rolled my eyes at Shawn once more before dashing into the closet.
“I need to get you new clothes.” He mumbled the moment I walked out of the closet in my plain dress.
“I don’t need your stuff,” I mumbled, tucking stray strands of hair behind my ear.
“You can’t stop me from taking care of my wife.” He said, taking steps towards me.
I sighed when Shawn approached me. “What is it about me that seems to draw you close every time? I am not even that gorgeous!”
“You think so?” He brought his hand up to my face and caressed my lower lip with his thumb.
I shrugged his finger off me.
“I wish you would take me seriously and realize I really want nothing to do with you.”
Shawn ignored what I said. He intertwined his hand with mine and led me out of the room.
………………..
We got to the dining room and once again, the table was filled with varieties. I was about to take my seat but Shawn wouldn’t let go of me. He sat at the edge of the table and pulled me to sit on his lap.
My eyes went wide. “What are you doing?”
He wrapped his hands around my waist possessively before I could get off him.
“Someone might walk in on us,” I warned.
“You are my wife. I don’t know how many times I have to remind you of that. And this is our house so we can do whatever the hell we want!”
“Really? You didn’t act like a gentleman last night but here you are, being all over me.”
“Our baby will be coming soon. The house has to be filled with love.” Shawn said with sincerity, making my heart melt unwillingly.
“Plus you need to be healthy to birth a healthy baby.” He added and I mentally slapped myself in the head for getting swayed by his words earlier. Of course, he is only doing all of these for his heir.”
“Let go of me. I can eat myself.”
“I know. I wasn’t going to feed you but you must sit on my lap and eat.”
“Asshole!” I mumbled, reaching for the glass of orange juice before me.
Shawn’s lap was comfortable so I didn’t mind. We both ate in silence and were done in no time.
He finally let go of me, I rolled my eyes and took a seat on the chair beside his.
Shawn wiped his mouth with the napkin, then rose to his feet. “I would be back on time to pick you up.”
I was about to tell him I wasn’t going anywhere with him when he tucked a hand in his pocket and brought out something which he placed on the table before me.
A velvet jewelry box.
