“How much do you need to get that petty baby of an excuse in your stomach out?” Kidnapped by the top richest man in the whole of New York, in exchange for her step sister’s life, Serina Stone had to enter a contract and loveless marriage with him— Nikolai Romano, who so desperately happens to be in dire need for an heir. Serina saw the contract marriage as a chance to be out of her stepmother's maltreatment. However, a change of fate occured when the billionaire got involved in a fatal accident. Though pregnant, he treated her like a piece of trash. What happens when Nikolai became cold-hearted to the point of demanding an abortion? Disgusted by the billionaire’s new character, Serina decided to escape from the hell of a marriage by filing divorce. Will Nikolai regain his memory and open his eyes to see he was doomed if Serina had aborted his only child? Will she return to the heartless billionaire who had treated her like a trash or fall into the arms of her new love interest?

Instead it was Nikolai, standing right before me looking at me so furiously my heart began to tremble in its ribcage. How? How did he end up before me?! The last time I checked, I was trying to jump over the window even though I was heavily pregnant, I was ready to risk it but he was here already. Austin whom I thought was blocking the door was seated on the floor, both hands palming his face in a saddened manner. “I'm doing what I should do. I'm doing something just so I won't end up with you again. Understood? Now, leave. Leave me the hell alone, Romano!” I shouted at the top of my voice, my eyes flashing with extreme anger as I pointed the exit to him. As expected, he didn't move, or bulge. He stood there, and when he saw he's passed across the message he's going to stay rooted to the spot, he sighed aloud, “
"Now is not the time to go quiet on me, Austin. Does this mean I'll have to go back to Nikolai?" I asked in a choked voice. I closed my eyes to be calmer in the face of Austin's silence. I just had the quickest race ever from home to Austin's office. I couldn't wait to derive some explanation from him. Wait, don't tell me he knew about the contract's term from the start? He finally looked me in the eye. I could see the muscle in his face tighten as if he was holding back his emotions. "Look, it's all messed up. Why don't you drive back home? We'll speak when I arrive." He tried to say but I shook my head stiffly at his words. I'm sure he didn't say that. “I have all the time in the world, okay Austin?” My eyes seemed unable to hold back the tears threatening to fall. Eventually, the tears streamed down my face as he finally began, my heart breaking into thousands of pieces. “It's not my fault. I thought you went through the whole document back then. It was stated right there and
Serina's POV"What are you doing here?" To say I was stunned would be an understatement. I wiped twice at my eyes but he was still there, I wasn't fantasizing. If this moment had been told to me before as a prophecy, I would have told that person to stop lying to my face. I stepped back a little, and meant to close the door when his eyes pierced mine, forcing me to a position. "I need to speak with you." "No, I don't want to." I curtly said as I looked him directly in the eyes. I don't know what he's doing here nor will I like to know. What we had was a contract marriage which he ruined. I have no intention of listening to him. He knew what he was doing when he signed the divorce paper without hesitation and watched me leave without the slightest remorse. I wandered about the streets heavily pregnant and could have lost my life if Austin hadn't stepped into the picture. Now, what? He's on his knees with some petty flowers? He slowly got up on his feet and stepped forward until h
Nikolai's PovOne Month AgoAlthough I spend very little time at home, I wonder why it always felt like something was missing. She's now out of my life, and I won't be seeing her again. My mother's accommodating nature is the reason she spent that long here, thus; now that she's away on a trip, I took the chance. I signed the divorce paper and I have never felt so fulfilled. Serina is a gold digger, who came into my life out of nowhere to force another man's pregnancy on me. I hope I never cross path with her again, nor have anything to do with her anymore either. However, I wonder why I'm unable to get her out of my mind. Why do I get home after a tired day at work, and the only thing that had to first come to my mind was her?"Come in." I growled, becoming even more pissed than I already am when a sudden knock came on my office door, startling me out of my thoughts."I'm here with the files, Sir." Linda, my secretary cat-walked over to my desk, like always. Her voice dripped wit
I didn't shut down the damned Tv. I let it be and flared even more. What the fuck! He got me pregnant, discarded me like some dirty garbage and thinks he can just start a new life with another woman?! Oh, he just did Serina. And you're nothing but the biggest loser ever.The door opened and I looked back to see Austin walking over with a suitcase in hand, hair disheveled, and tie undone. His suit was wrinkled and he looked tired. Poor guy, he must just be coming back from work. "Hi, Austin. You won't believe what I just saw on the…" I jumped to my feet from the couch I had been sitting, and pointed at the news' closing credit as if it wasn't that obvious. "Tv? Yes, I know." Brow arched in the air, he cuts me off as he knocked his feet out of his shoes and started making his way through the hallway. I followed him, surprised. "How did you know?" I asked him, snatching his briefcase from his grasp from behind and leaving him with no choice than to let me carry it for him just this o
One Month Later "Mr. Davis, listen. As much as the bills are settled, we shall provide the perfect luxurious materials for your wedding." When the call ended, I sank back against the swivel chair, and sighed heavily thinking I could finally get a minute to myself when the door opened, and my assistant walked into my mini-office with another pile of files. "Good morning, ma'am." She gave a deep bow by the door before heading over to drop the files on my desk. "Morning, Vivian. I believe that's all for today?" I acknowledged her greeting and I inserted my concern afterwards, my body and soul practically weeping as a result of the sleepless nights. My reality is like a daydream to me. If someone had told me I would be in the position I am today, I would have spat in the person's face for feeding me with such a blatant lie. Now, here I am. One month, and I can fully say I am proud of myself for where I got and I know he remains proud of me too. Yes, Austin. If it weren'
I stirred away from the bright sunlight penetrating my eyes and then it struck. I was in heaven. No one needed to tell me I had it my way, for once. I shook my head, at the thought that I finally escaped the world's mess and was now in paradise. What got me shaking my head, once again, was how amusing it was to feel someone's touch on my arm. Wait, w-hat?! I sat up and blinked twice. I was still alive. This was an unfamiliar room. Holy cow! I didn't know how long I had been asleep either. The silky smooth bed beneath my weight was enough to tell me I had been kidnapped. I looked around and I was stunned to find a pair of recognizable appealing eyes staring down at me. It was Nikolai's lawyer. "Mr. Austin?" My voice barely reached a whisper. He was there to gather the divorce document before I left Nikolai's mansion. I didn't think I had see him again."You're finally awake." He stated rather than asked and I swallowed nothing. Despite how comfy the bed was, I stood up from it to s
"What are you doing here?" Gwen barked and my head sank in shame. Even if I wanted to change my mind, it was too late. I already signed the divorce paper so there was no going back for me now. Moving out of the Romano's mansion was my biggest mistake. It was evident from how Nikolai agreed to the divorce without hesitation that I was nothing but unwanted. I allowed my pride to take control. And so, for the past three hours, I wandered around the streets with nowhere to go. When I reached the end of the road, hell; my father's house became my only option."I have nowhere else to go, Gwen. Just let me in." I pursed my lips unhappily and said. She's standing by the doorway currently towering over me. She rarely showed any mercy. Her presence alone was enough to stir fear in me and counter any chance I could have had to get in. Gwen threw her head back and laughed. "Sorry but that's impossible." Her condescending eyes told me all I needed to know. The exact moment Evelyn brought her
"The runaway thief returns. How does it feel to be back home?" Nikolai laughed sarcastically, his composure leaving me speechless. Dragged from the airport and back to the mansion, I don't expect he had even wanted to see me. As per my crime, I won't put it past him to throw me in the hands of the police officers with immediate effect. It's scary how he's being humorous but he isn't taking it lightly either. "I know what I did was wrong, alongside how much I failed both you and everyone else but I am deeply sorry. Look, I accept whatever punishment you choose for me." I told him as I stepped inside, my guilt soaring high on its peak. "Anything?" He challenged, staring straight into my eyes. "Anything." I nodded, voice flat. Without a word, he turned around and I followed. I made sure there was enough distance between us, in case he loses it out of the blue and decides I wasn't worthy of his forgiveness. He came to a stop when he reached his room and I did the same."Bring them
"Crap, pastor! To not love but to impregnate. Until the contract do us apart.” He paused for a moment, waiting for my reaction before continuing, “This is my solemn vow."A tear fell from my eyes down to the altar, which I quickly cleaned away. His eyes glared acidly behind the back of my head as I rose, doing the best I could to conceal my fear. Then with a shaky hand, I proceed to exchange rings with him. I wasn’t stuck to the floor yet I couldn’t leave. Well, unless I want my step sister’s head rolling by my feet, only then shall I think of fleeing.Beep. Beep. And that was the exact time my life began to fall apart. A call from my stepmother, Evelyn. Probably about to lash out on why I was yet to return with her daughter. And also never failing to remind me how my lashes shall double by each passing hour. Just that, this time, I wasn't sure I was returning home talkmore of getting beaten to death by her. And her daughter Gwen? She's the only reason I succumbed to their threa...
