Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 23
VIVIANNate didn't come back to the house after he left our room and I didn't bother to ask where he had gone. Gran told me later on that he had gone back to work but I didn't care. I didn't want to care and I couldn't hide my nonchalance at the breakfast table after Gran announced that Nate may keep late nights for a while, I just forced a smile and thanked him for the food then left.My phone lit up after breakfast with a text from Tracy – “Hey, girl? I miss you, how are you?” she asked, I sat on the bed and allowed the softness to welcome me as I graduated to laying on it.“I am just getting by, ” I replied. I could feel the weakness of my bones and my body, my hands went to my stomach and unintentionally cradled it.“We can't have that, now can we? Let's meet up and talk, I don't want you growing stiff and crazy because of that asshole that you share a name with,” she said and I smiled.“That asshole is my husband and the father of my baby, don't call him an asshole,” I said and

VIVIANMy heart was beating twice as fast, my body was growing colder by the minute and if there was anything I didn't want to do? It was to stand here and have Eve say something that would upset me.I looked around the store and noticed that Eve had somehow been able to once again cause a small scene. Shit. If I wanted to escape her and whatever mess she was planning then I would have no choice but to ignore her.I turned around immediately and I could see Tracy giving me a confused look before going along with what I was doing.“Now, you can't speak?” Eve asked and scoffed along with it.I squeezed my eyes and moved forward in the queue, praying that whatever madness Eve carried along with her today wouldn't be too showy and I could just pay for my stuff and get out of here.It must have been very painful and annoying to have someone ignore you when you are obviously trying to make a point and allow your voice to be heard because Eve suddenly grabbed a handful of my silk shirt fro

VivianI stood frozen, my eyes stinging with unshed tears, my vision blurring as Eve's cruel words sank in.“Did I strike a chord, hmm, sweetheart?” she taunted, her voice dripping with venomous satisfaction. All I wanted was for this nightmare to end, to escape the torment of her presence.“I am nothing like you,” I retorted, my voice trembling with anger and defiance. But even as I said it, a flicker of doubt gnawed at me. Was I just a replica, a stand-in for the woman Nate truly loved?“With the way you're talking, it seems you've thought about this longer than you'd like to admit. Good, because it shows you're starting to accept that you're a replica, a fake, an unoriginal,” she sneered, her eyes gleaming with malice.Tracy stepped forward, grabbing my arm, trying to pull me away. “Viv, let's go. She isn't worth it,” she urged, her voice tight with concern. But I couldn't leave it at that. Not without getting the last word in, something to shatter Eve's confidence.“You should ask

NATEI slammed my fingers on the keyboard, trying to focus on the work in front of me. The sleeves of my shirt were rolled up, my tie loosened, and my eyes fixed on the screen, but my mind was elsewhere. The office was a welcome distraction, a place where I could hide from the mess my life had become. Being here was easier than going home and facing Vivian. Seeing her face and pretending nothing had happened was out of the question.I couldn't do that. I wouldn't.It was impossible to ignore the turmoil churning inside me. My mental state was a wreck, and I was using work as a shield. When my meetings got rearranged, and the workload increased, I welcomed it. It was better than dealing with the confusion and guilt that plagued me.Gran was furious that I was spending nights at a hotel instead of going home to my wife. But how could I tell him the truth? How could I explain that I was avoiding home because I couldn't look Vivian in the eyes? The sorrow and sadness I'd caused her were un

VivianI couldn't believe what had just happened, even though I had seen it with my own eyes. My breath hitched in my chest, burning as if every part of my body was on fire. Tortured by my memory, I replayed the scene over and over: Nate carefully lifted Eve into his arms as if she were a fragile egg, and then carried her to what I could only assume was his car to take her to what I could only assume was the hospital.Not once did he look at me. Not even once. I was his wife, for God's sake, and he didn't even care about me, even though I was the one truly injured. The betrayal was mind-numbing, more brutal than my bruises, and with every replay, water gathered in my eyes, threatening to flood my cheeks.Within minutes, the road became congested. Cars that had been racing to their destinations could no longer move, jammed together by the obstacle ahead. For some unknown reason, there was no security official to handle the unexpected, serious traffic. I could hear the angry shouts from

Vivian "My God, you are bleeding. Viv, you are bleeding!" Tracy's voice pierced through my daze, her panic escalating. The shock of her words made me almost pass out, but I bit my lip hard and mustered the courage to look at my thighs. Tyler repeated "shit, shit, shit" as he desperately tried to start the car, while their frustrations echoed in the background. Tears streamed down my cheeks when I saw the wide red patch on the front of my dress and the trickle of blood down my legs. "My baby, Tracy. I can't lose my baby,," I sobbed, trying and failing to bury my face in my hands. If it weren't broad daylight, I would have thought I was trapped in a nightmare. Everything felt like a scene from a horror movie. The blood that flowed down from my legs started to darken and continued in a sticky texture that began to irritate my skin. I tried not to imagine the consequences of my bleeding. Thinking too much about it would make me blank out. As Tyler continued to try starting the car, I

Vivian"Mummy!""No, please! Don't go!" I cried, my voice echoing into the darkness. The figure, so small and distorted, was slipping away from me, floating further into the dark void. I tried to run, my hands moving before my body, but I was stuck!I tried to move some more, but unseen forces pulled me down, my feet sinking into an invisible pool of darkness that continued to pull me down, my heart dropping into the pit of my stomach. Panic gripped my heart, and tears blurred my vision.“Mummy!! please!” the image screamed, and I knew I had to fight to get out of this mist, to get out of this sinking feeling that created darkness beneath my feet.But the more I struggled to free myself, the more I got pulled under and tears started to fall freely. "Baby?” I screamed, but got no response. “Mu..mmy,” the voice died into a fading echo, and I fought my way out of it, but the moment I emerged, I witnessed the image get sucked into the void and there was nothing left.“No!!” I screamed, but

VIVIAN Nate stood in the doorway, his face twisted in a scowl, eyes colder than I’d ever seen them."Tracy, I think you've overstayed your welcome. You can go," Nate's voice was icy, a stark contrast to the warmth I had once known from him. My mouth hung open in shock, unable to believe what I was hearing.Anger bubbled up from deep within me, hot and sharp. Tracy began to gather her things, looking confused and a little scared, but I couldn't let her leave. Not like this. Not when I needed someone sane beside me."Tracy isn't going anywhere," I said, my voice firm, trying to protect the only person who seemed to care about me. Nate's face hardened, his eyes narrowing."I'm in a hospital, wrapped in bandages from an accident, and this is what you say to me? You don't even ask how I am or how I got here? Or what happened?" My voice rose with incredulity. It was crazy that he would behave like this at such a moment.Nate scoffed, a cold, derisive sound. He stepped closer, towering over
