Chapter 2 - Secret Pregnancy
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"What... What is this?"
A day after my big fight with Mattheo, I was startled by the arrival of many servants entering my room in the morning.
My weakened body, after taking many medicines, could only stand frozen as I watched the servants carry all my belongings out.
"Wait! Those are my belongings! Where are you taking them!?" I shouted at them, but they ignored me.
In an instant, my room became empty. I tried to make them return my clothes and belongings, but Mattheo intervened.
"Mattheo, what does all this mean?" I asked, quickly running towards him. "Why are they emptying my room? What—"
"I heard from my family's doctor that you are currently pregnant. Is that true?" he interrupted, his words laced with the same coldness as tonight's air.
"N-no, that's not true!" I said fearfully. In my heart, I wondered how he could know. I had asked the doctors to keep my pregnancy a secret!
"Don't lie to me!"
**slap!**
His emotions couldn't be restrained any longer. Seeing me boldly oppose him, he immediately slapped me, causing me to fall.
"Seriously, do you have amnesia? I've told you, you can't be pregnant with my child!" he yelled angrily. "Wait, could it be that the baby isn't mine? Are you cheating on me, Belle?"
"What? Don't be absurd!" This time, I was the angry one. "How could I cheat on someone else when you lock me up here every day?"
"Shut up!" he yelled. It seemed that no matter what I said, he wouldn't understand. Simply put, he already hated me.
"You better leave now," he said. "Whether it's my child or not, I can't accept the fact that you're pregnant now. And, our contract marriage is over. I'll return the money your father gave me. As long as you leave me forever."
Just like that, he kicked me out of the house we bought to live in after marriage.
He threw away all my belongings, even our marriage certificate. In front of the house, I stood dumbfounded, with a heartache that felt like a wound.
'How could this happen? Not long ago, he was still very sweet to me. He even promised to celebrate our wedding anniversary! Why did all this have to happen?' I thought, crying alone on the cold night.
**ddrrr – ddrrr – ddrrr**
My phone rang. Reluctantly, I wiped away my tears and answered the call. I could have ignored it, but the one calling me in the middle of the night was Ragen, my mother-in-law.
"Belle. Tomorrow, meet me at my office. There's something I need to discuss with you," she said from the other end of the phone.
I panicked and bit my nails. 'Oh my god. What else? Mattheo just kicked me out, and now Ragen suddenly wants to meet? Isn't she supposed to be in Australia?'
"Okay, Ma'am. I'll be there tomorrow," I said with a forced smile, hiding my fear and anxiety for tomorrow.
I grabbed my belongings and left, ordering a taxi. Mattheo didn't like seeing me talk to his mother. So, I had to leave before he realized it.
_______
[The Sinclair Company Headquarters]
[10.00 AM]
"Miss, Mrs. Ragen is waiting for you in her office." A female secretary escorted me into the company building, alone in the morning when I arrived here.
I couldn't sleep all night, thinking about what Ragen would say to me now. I was thinking about how to persuade Mattheo not to divorce me. And now, everything got worse after Ragen returned to America.
"Belle, please sit down. I've been waiting for you," she said as she welcomed my arrival.
"How's your day, Ma'am? It's nice to see you in such a cheerful mood," I greeted her with pleasantries. I hoped my polite attitude would cancel any negative intentions if she wanted to talk badly about me now.
Unfortunately, Ragen seemed unwilling to exchange pleasantries. The career woman went straight to the point of why she called me here. A bodyguard took out a large black suitcase and placed it in front of me, opening it.
My eyes widened at the sight of the amount of money in the suitcase.
"Five billion in cash. And you can ask for more if you want," she said, sitting in front of me. "I heard your family's company is about to go bankrupt. Don't you need this money?"
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I don't understand," I replied quickly. "What's all this for? I don't need money. Besides—"
"Belle, don't you understand yet?" she said, displeased. "I'll give you as much money as you want, as long as you leave my son, Mattheo. I heard you're pregnant with his child. What if you just get rid of the baby?"
"What?" It felt like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. My mouth hung open in front of her. "Mother, are you paying me to divorce your son? Have you forgotten our contract marriage agreement? You allowed me to love your son, in exchange for our company's cooperation!"
"That's correct. But now, your family is bankrupt," she replied. "So there's no reason for my son to have a lowly wife like you. Now, take this money and stay away from my son. He's going to marry Natalia Starling, your step-sister. At least she's more worthy than you."
"Ugh." My head suddenly throbbed with pain upon hearing that name. Natalia, she's my step-sister. And how could she marry Mattheo?
What is happening here!?
"Belle. I hope you know your place. Mattheo's marriage to Natalia is just a matter of time. Don't you dare approach my son again. And get rid of that baby. Mattheo never wanted you. Got it?"
"No! I don't want to! Listen to me first!" I struggled and cried as Ragen's bodyguards dragged me out of her office along with the suitcase of five billion.
They pushed me roughly, causing my stomach to hit a stone on the ground.
From my blurred vision, I saw fresh blood flowing from between my legs.
'Oh no. My baby...' panicked thoughts raced through my mind as I realized I might be having a miscarriage.
But I didn't have the strength to ask for help. In an instant, I fainted on the street. Before everything went dark, I realized there was a pair of hands carrying me and taking me away from this place.
"Mattheo..." I whispered weakly. The scent of the man carrying me was so much like Mattheo's. But it couldn't be.
He had divorced me. It couldn't be him carrying me to the hospital, right?

"Madam, we advise you to inform your husband about your illness and pregnancy. We need testimony from your relatives to proceed with the major brain operation."Upon regaining consciousness from fainting, the first thing I noticed was three doctors surrounding my patient's bed. It seemed that my condition had worsened, and they couldn't make any decisions due to my pregnancy."My husband doesn't want this baby," I said to the doctor attending to my IV. "And we've already separated. He has nothing to do with me anymore."As I said that, my heart ached terribly. But the pain turned into shock when I saw my mother rushing into the operating room in great haste. Her face was pale, filled with anxiety. She immediately hugged me upon realizing I was awake."Belle! Why didn't you tell me!?" My mother cried in my embrace. I glanced at the doctor beside me for reassurance. Luckily, they hadn't informed anyone about my illness, including my mother."I heard you're pregnant and being divorced by

/BAM!/The door slammed shut as he stormed out, leaving me crying alone in this operating room.“Belle.”Another man's voice greeted my tears. It was Luke Davis, still there, holding my hand, then pulling out a ring with a golden box from his trouser pocket."After all this, are you sure want to get back to Mattheo?" he said as we were alone. "If you become my wife, I'll give you the best position in the company. I'll cure your illness, and you can destroy Mattheo just as he destroyed you. What do you say?""Argh! Just shut up! I don't need you!" I snapped at him, pushing his body away as he tried to persuade me.I yanked the IV tube, the needle piercing my hand, causing it to bleed. As I ran away from the operating room, fresh blood flowed from my hand, causing other patients in the hospital to scream in fear."Madam, you have surgery scheduled today!" A doctor shouted, trying to catch up with me as I ran frantically. "Have you forgotten? You need to undergo surgery if you want to su

"Ugh. My head..." The strong smell of alcohol wafted as I opened my eyes on a scorching morning. I couldn't recall getting drunk last night, so why was I in this bed?"Wait... Last night, Mattheo and I..." My eyes widened in shock at my completely exposed body. The events of last night came flooding back; I had slept with a man who looked exactly like Mattheo!"Mattheo!" I screamed, seeing my husband standing outside the bar room, about to leave me."Wait for me! Last night, you slept with me! Don't you remember?" I yelled, running towards him with just a thin blanket covering my body.He stopped at the edge of the stairs, his eyes glaring at me with coldness, completely different from when he had touched me last night."I don't remember," he retorted sharply and indifferently. "And even if I slept with a woman last night, it was Natalia. Not you. Have you forgotten we're divorced? There's no way I would sleep with you.""No! You slept with me! How can you forget? Last night, you broug

Even if I die, I will never forget the affair he had with me.It was my passion. But what about this baby?Mattheo will take it, even claiming it is his child with Natalia.

For the sake of our eyes meeting.“I'll forgive all your mistakes,” I said, hurriedly. My energy was almost spent supporting his two hands that were already trying to strip me of my underwear.“I'll forget all your mistakes, as long as you come

Drrrrr drrrr drrrrrMy reverie was interrupted by the ringing sound of a thin cell phone lying on the floor along with my scattered clothes.“Sigh...” I let out a long, tired sigh. From a distance, I didn't need to read the name of the contact who called me at this very unfriendly time.My mother. I don't know what demon possessed her, but she must have contacted me because she knew I had suddenly disappeared from the hospital without her knowledge.“Yes, Mom? It's me. You don't have to call me that many times. I'll pick up even if your call is disconnected,” I said, picking up the phone whose voice was really bothering my ears.And sure enough. My mom was so angry on the call. I had to turn down the volume on the cell phone just so the sound of her screaming didn't reach Mattheo's ears.“You stupid daughter, don't you know how embarrassed I was when Luke Davis told me you'd rather go with your stupid husband? Don't you know how much money he spent on our company!? You should think ab

Natalia and Mattheo were still inside, eating together after ignoring me. Going back inside the mansion was tantamount to giving up my dignity to be made fun of by the two of them again.Not to mention my mother-in-law who still didn't know anything about me being here.Compared to all that, I'd rather go through it again and again than have to go back to my mother's house right now. I'm pretty sure her purpose in telling me to come home right this second is because she wants to talk about my marriage to Luke Davis.“Did you hear me?” I point at his annoying good looking face in a very unflattering way. Just so he knows how annoyed I am by his presence right now.“Hurry up and leave instead of kicking your feet,” I snapped. He didn't answer, which made me even angrier.My ears weren't willing to listen to anything he said anymore, so I chose to reverse my steps and get away from him as quickly as possible.But one han

Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth.

Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
