Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 28
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

VivianI didn’t turn back, not even once as Tracy tried to steady me.I could hear Eve saying something but it wasn’t any of my business.“Vivian?” I heard Nate call from behind us but I refused to turn back and Tracy refused to make us turn back.“Vivian!” he called “Please, wait. Please!” he called but I ignored his call again.“Faster,” I whispered to Tracy as she attempted to make us move faster in pace. I could see the entrance of the hospital, a welcoming sight while I ignored the consistent pattern of footsteps that trailed from behind us.“Viv!” he shouted and I attempted to walk even faster but the consequences of that action was severe as a ceasing pain held me still.“Are you ok? Maybe you should sit down?” Tracytried to say but I gritted my teeth, forcing my body to bear down the pain. Anything to cause more steps between Nate and I.I attempted to walk again but this time, the pain was worse and I was falling off of Tracy’s support when another hand hooked into mine, catch

NateThe water from the shower sluiced down my back and went to the marble floor, taking away with it my mental exhaustion.It'd been a crazy week— right from the moment I had gotten the call that Eve was terribly injured in an accident to the time she lost her baby and finally to the time that I was slapped by Vivian in front of people in the hospital .The house was unusually quiet as I finished from the shower and something on my face made me stop and look more closely into the mirror. One of my cheeks was looking redder than the other one even though it was a day after, it didn’t matter. Looking at the cheek made the memories of a few hours ago flash right before my eyes, causing my mood to sour.I couldn’t describe the shock that came from getting slapped by Vivian and then finding out about her uterine Evacuation in the same moment.I had nightmares from just thinking about it, my mind kept replaying the pain and the hatred that came from looking into her eyes. I have never felt

Vivian"Die! Die!! Die!!!" Eve's voice was a chilling shriek as she strangled the small, twisted figure in her hands. She stood in the middle of the empty road, her eyes wild with a terrifying fury."No! No!" I screamed, pounding desperately on the windows of the car I was inexplicably trapped in. Panic surged through me as I realized I couldn't move, no matter how hard I tried. My heart pounded in my chest, each thump echoing my growing terror.I watched in horror as Eve snapped the figure's head with a sickening crack and tossed it aside like a discarded toy. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I saw the glint of madness and malevolence, her expression a twisted mask of evil. My voice rose to a frantic pitch, screaming as fear clawed at my throat.Suddenly, I jolted awake, a cry still caught in my throat. My body was drenched in sweat, my heart racing as if I'd been running from a nightmare. I gasped for breath, disoriented, my mind struggling to separate the dream from reality.As the di

VivianI stood before him, letter in hand, feeling a sense of liberation wash over me. It was time to do the needful. I needed to let him go and set myself free from the emotional turmoil I had subjected myself to in all these years. I held out the letter waiting for him to respond but he kept watching me with a look of indifference. I watched as his face slowly morphed from one of indifference to mockery and amusement. What was so funny about turning in my letter? I thought angrily.He kept on laughing, gazing at me with a condescending look. I waited, seething silently in anger and frustration. I was going to be out of here soon anyways. All I needed was a go ahead from him."You think you can just walk in here and retire?" He scoffed, his voice dripping with disdain. I looked at him in confusion wondering if I was forever going to be trapped in this with him. Just what have I gotten myself into?"You have to submit your termination letter three months ahead of time. It's in the co

NateI stormed into the office expecting to see her sitting somewhere waiting for me with those teary eyes that caused me to feel like the greatest piece of shit ever.I stopped dead in my tracks, checking every inch of the room with my eyes as though she would materialize out of thin air. A faint scent of her perfume still lingered in the office from the day before but she was long gone.My gaze lingered on the space she had stood on earlier when she came demanding to be separated from me and I felt my displeasure brewing underneath my skin.It was really unsettling how much hold she had on how I reacted. I made my way to my desk, my eyes scanning through the piled up papers and files scattered across my desk. I pushed the feeling of unease behind and focused on what I had to do. I could not allow her absence distract me from what was more important. Again.Still my mind conjured up the image of her as a ball of fire, so furious and hurt and I felt shame crawl into my chest. Despite m

Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby EPILOGUE
Her hands trembled slightly. She was staring out the window of her office at the academy but her mind was somewhere else entirely. She had been transported back in time to the fateful day two weeks ago when the doctor had made the announcement with a wide grin on her face. "Congratulations, Miss Vivian. You're ten weeks pregnant." She had said, flashing Vivian a genuine smile that reached her crinkling eyes. At that moment, a cold sweat had broken out on Vivian’s forehead as the doctor’s words hit her like a bomb. The words had been so unprecedented, so out of left field that it took her a long time to understand the gravity of the doctor’s pronouncement. When she had finally digested her words, fear caused a knot to form in her stomach."The baby is in perfect condition." The doctor had said and Vivian had smiled at her, happy but at the same time, uncertain. "Your husband must be so proud." She had said. But would he? Nate had been so vehemently against a child and even though

VIVIANI opened my eyes. But I was in an unfamiliar place. The darkness that surrounded me was not only palpable, it was suffocating. I tried to breathe but my lungs seemed to be constricted with something. I stretched forth my hands to guide my path but something seemed to be on my way. I tore at the barrier but it only grew thicker. It was the darkness. Was there any way out of here? How could I fight something I could not even see? I opened my mouth to scream but no sound would come out. I was stuck in this deep, dark pit with nowhere to go but down. Below me, it seemed like there was quicksand and if I did not find a way to get out of here quickly, I would be swallowed whole. I clawed at the space in front of me, beside me and above me but the darkness was too dense, too restricting. Where was help when I needed it the most? My determination had started to wane. My resolve which I thought was stronger than steel bars had become considerably weakened the more it dawned on me t

NATEI felt overwhelmed. I had not felt this way in the longest of times, not even when dealing with Richard's stupidity. Why were things going haywire all of a sudden just when I thought the dust had settled down? I could not pretend not to know why. Gran's announcement yesterday had triggered a lot of suppressed resentment and I just had to deal tactfully with it or everything I held dear would be taken away right before my eyes. I had been called to the company the day before because Aston was making trouble. Word had spread that he had gone around contacting all the members of the board and having a secret meeting with them. I was not sure what the meeting had been about but I could guess. "Let's hurry." I said to my driver as I looked through Vivian's mail for the umpteenth time. I was about to send a message thanking her for her hard work when my phone started to vibrate. It was a call from my personal assistant. "They are holding an emergency extraordinary meeting of the

VIVIANI typed away feverishly. I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins, fueling my fingers and propelling me to think. What had this not occurred to me before? Why had I glossed over Emily's statement back then like it was nothing at all. Had I been too overwhelmed at the time that I had been unable to put two and two together? Unable to see what was right in front of me? Emily had said three companies. Three companies, but only two were behind bars. So what happened to the last one? It was a question I should have been asking for sometime now. Would I be able to find a connection that would reveal which company was the third? Would I find enough proof? I started by digging into the two companies. Their CEOs had been well known in the business world for taking over small companies after leading them into debt. There were many comments online laying complaints against them and a third name kept popping up. Could it be?... I changed the direction of my research. It w
Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 108
VIVIAN It all felt awkward. Gran had made the announcement of the century and the room was thrown into chaos. Aston looked like he could combust in anger at any time and stormed off. Gran was unwilling to listen to Nate's protests and Nate's mother just looked surprised. I, on the other hand was unsure how I was supposed to react. I was not very surprised, considering how much affinity Gran held for Nate, I was only a bit skeptical about the timing. But what did I care? I was no longer a part of the family. I was practically a stranger who happened to witness the Stuart family going at each other and it didn't matter what my thoughts were. I just wanted to escape before anyone looked in my direction and thought to rope me into it. Gran shuffled out of the room, leaning slightly on his cane and I saw my chance. Nate was still looking around, confused as ever and there was just a general tension in the air that I was sure no one would notice my silent disappearance. It felt good n

NATEI swore internally. How had Ashton found out? But then again, the same idiot that had the temerity to give out company information had probably babbled again. Vivian looked stricken standing there, staring numbly from Ashton to my mother to Gran. She tried to say something but it seemed like the words would not come out. I wanted to hold her and calm her down like I did yesterday in the hospital but this was not the place or time and I was pretty sure she would push me away. Guilt weighed down on me heavily. This was all my fault. I had brought this situation on her and I wanted to fix it badly but I felt control slipping out of my hands. Ashton was pushing, tearing down the walls of support around me, trying to strip me of my confidence and painting Vivian as the black sheep. I could not understand for the life of me why he had suddenly turned bad. Or perhaps he had always been this way, lurking silently in the shadows, waiting for this chance to ruin me. "Vivian did nothin

VIVIANI sighed for the thousandth time. Why on earth couldn't I be allowed to catch a break? Had all the universal forces aligned to ensure I did not have a single moment of peace? The whole situation seemed absurd to me. I did not yet know what Ethan was going on about but it couldn't be anything good, judging by the tone of his voice. Moreover, he was never one to impose, so if he was in front of my house, it must mean something quite severe was about to go down or was even going down. The taxi came to a stop in front of my apartment and I hurried up the path. I did not have to look for Ethan as his car was parked conspicuously on the driveway and he was sitting on it's hood tapping his phone impatiently. "What the hell, Ethan..." "There's no time for this." He looked worried, confused and most notably, tired. His tie had been drawn down, probably to enable him breathe properly while driving and his hair was tousled as if he had been in too much of a hurry to brush it properl

VIVIANI was elated.I flashed a wide smile back at the sea of smiling faces. I had not felt this way in a really long time, had not felt like what I had to say mattered, like I could dispense joy so freely, so abundantly and still have so much of it left to live on. I was not sad or angry or conflicted here, I just felt like I was wrapped in a bubble of peace, woven softly into a web of comfort and it scared me that this peace was fragile. That it could easily be broken if I didn't protect it. "Do you kids remember what we learnt yesterday?" I asked, leaning towards them and adopting a high pitched childlike voice. "Yes!" They chorused with enthusiasm. I smiled and turned to the board. "Today, we will learn something even more interesting. Are you ready to learn?" They answered with as much enthusiasm as earlier. Their innocence tugged at my heartstrings. Wouldn't my baby have grown to sound like this? To make mischievous jokes and play pranks on others? Maybe it was really not
Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 104
VIVIANAnother emergency. But this one couldn't be a prank because Nate had delivered the news and we weren't exactly friendly enough to pull that type of joke on each other. Also, it involved my mother. Nate was a premium jerk but he wouldn't stoop so low. Right? I wished he would. I would swear at him and maybe even hit him but my mother would be fine and I would have worried in vain. "Oh God, oh God... Oh God." Night was falling fast but I didn't care. I rushed out of the house and flagged down the first taxi I saw. If anything happened to my mother, how would I cope with the pain, the guilt. If anything happened... Thoughts consumed me and filled my head with scenarios that were probably too far fetched but seemed feasible at that moment. Panic had taken over me and my hands shook terribly as I contemplated calling Nate. What would I say? What was I trying to find out? "No, no..." "Is there a problem?" The taxi driver was looking at me through the rearview mirror and I ave
