Charles Benjamin 'Ben' Vanderbilt, V was trying to sleep when the phone in his bedroom rang. It was late in the afternoon but that didn't matter much to Ben. He was the type of young man that tended to party all night and sleep all day.<br/><br/>"Shut up."<br/><br/>Ben grumbled at the phone, covering his head with his blanket but it didn't help. The phone would not stop ringing. Finally, accepting defeat, Ben sat up and answered the phone.<br/><br/>"What?!"<br/><br/>He growled into the receiver. The female on the other end, swallowed hard and replied.<br/><br/>"Ummm...Ben? Is that you?"<br/><br/>"Yeah...Who is this?"<br/><br/>Ben replied, not sure who the girl was. He knew so many, after all.<br/><br/>"Ummm....Olivia....Olivia Conner."<br/><br/>"Olivia.....Oh, yeah. I remember you. Why are you calling?"<br/><br/>Ben asked, after a moment of thinking who Olivia was. She was the cute blonde with the green eyes. She had been one of his favorites the last month or so.<br/><br/>"I....I'm late."<br/><br/>"'Late?' Late for what? An appointment? If you're late, why are you calling me?"<br/><br/>Ben asked, very confused. He had no idea what the hell Olivia was talking about. Nor did he realize what a woman meant by saying she was late. He never very little about how the female body worked or even how their minds worked. Olivia sighed and whispered into the phone.<br/><br/>"No, I mean....I might have a condition."<br/><br/>"'Condition'?"<br/><br/>Her terms were not helping Ben at all.<br/><br/>"If you're sick, then go to a damn doctor. And stop whispering, I can barely hear you."<br/><br/>Ben said and Olivia started to get annoyed talking to him. She did speak up, though.<br/><br/>"That's why I'm calling you. I need to go to a doctor and find out."<br/><br/>"Then do it, you don't need my damn permission."<br/><br/>Ben replied, equally annoyed. If she needed to see a doctor, why the hell was she calling him? Women made no sense to him. Olivia sighed.<br/><br/>"Because I might be with child and it would be yours."<br/><br/>"What? Wait...."<br/><br/>Ben said, growing pale. No, he did not want to be a father. Now it made sense. She thought she was pregnant and she was going to trap him with the little bastard. She wanted a piece of the Vanderbilt fortune. He already had to share the fortune with his sister, Lauren. He wasn't going to share the money with anyone else.<br/><br/>"Yeah, that's what-"<br/><br/>He cut Olivia off.<br/><br/>"I know a doctor who can take care of that problem for you. I'll write you a check for him."<br/><br/>Ben said and Olivia was shocked.<br/><br/>"No, if I am....I don't want the baby to go away. I want you to-"<br/><br/>"I'll do else nothing for you. You can't even prove it is mine."<br/><br/>Ben replied, pissed off now. She wasn't going to trap him with a kid. She was just a fling, like the rest. He wasn't going to her baby's father. She wanted that baby, she was on her own. Ben Vanderbilt didn't get trapped by any woman.<br/><br/>"What?! But you and I-You're the only man I've been with. You're my first."<br/><br/>"Doesn't mean I'm your last. Who knows how many others you've been with."<br/><br/>Ben replied and Olivia sounded like she was starting to cry. Thankfully Albert came to his door and knocked on it.<br/><br/>"I told you what I was willing to do for you, Olivia. If you don't take me up on it, good luck being a single mother."<br/><br/>With that Ben, hung up the phone on her. He got out of bed and opened his door. Albert looked at Ben in surprise. He expected to see him napping away. Normally, Ben would have been. Ben was actually so happy that Albert had showed up at the door, he could have kissed him.<br/><br/>"I am surprised to see you awake, Mister Vanderbilt."<br/><br/>"Sometimes I'm full of surprises, Albert. What do you need?"<br/><br/>"Your grandfather wants to see you before his guests arrive."<br/><br/>"Oh."<br/><br/>Ben replied with a frown. He had feeling he would not like that. But who was he to refuse his grandfather's wishes? Especially since he let him live here rent free?<br/><br/>"All right, I'll be there in a few minutes."<br/><br/>Ben said, he was sure his grandfather would want him to be properly dressed. Albert nodded his head.<br/><br/>"Very good, sir."<br/><br/>Albert said and headed downstairs to wait for guests. Ben got dressed and headed to his grandfather's office. He knocked on the door.<br/><br/>"Hey, Grandpa. Albert said you wanted to see me?"
