Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 44
Vivian's POV I opened my eyes and the strong smell of medicine filled my nose. Looking around, I figured I was still in Nate's room and as I shook my hand, I felt a sting. There was a needle stuck in my skin and it was attached to an IV drip. My thoughts were blurry as I tried to recollect what had happened to me. Just then, the door to the room opened and the maid walked in with a tray of food, Nate following closely behind. His eyes widened slightly and he rushed to my side, concern etched on his face. “Vivian, thank God you're awake. How are you feeling?” I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back onto the pillows. “What...what happened to me?” I asked, my voice shaking. He sat beside me, his eyes filled with concern. “You fainted. I came back into the room and found you on the floor.” I rubbed my temples, trying to piece together the fragmented memories. The nightmare, the panic, the overwhelming fear... “It's the storm, isn't it?" Nate asked

VIVIANNate was infuriating!The very audacity of the man!“I think you should go to work. I am well rested and healed, you don’t have to fawn over me anymore” I said, trying to hide the fact that I was beyond pissed.He was seated on the patio with a newspaper in his hand, a cup of freshly pressed orange juice on the table, his legs were stretched out and he was clad in what I could only term as vacation wear.He looked at me and then took a very big breath that resulted in yet another heavy sigh.“You know, I never thought that I would like any air that wasn’t from work but now? I think the air from the house is refined, cleaner even. I will stay and I don’t think you are fully healed to even be saying that. Only a doctor can say that you are healed,” he said and then took the newspaper and began to read blocking my vision immediately.I seethed, wanting to just reach out and snatch the papers from his hands so that he can see just how annoyed I was that he believed that he can just

NATEI dropped the dress on the bed as she had instructed and started to get changed in a spare bedroom wearing the perfect emerald suit, the same colour of her dress and even though the hosting venue was my house, it was built in such a grand way that the living quarters and the other parts of the house were not so closely related and I could hear the cars pull up while people started to troop to the house, I went downstairs to start the greetings and what not while I expected Vivian to start making her way downstairs but true to her word, she was not coming down.Anger started to boil in my stomach as I moved to greet each person, trying my best not to stare at the clock but it was nearly impossible with the Rolex watch I had on my wrist, reminding me how much time Vivian was taking.Four dry wines later and I was a walking clock on my own.It was two hours and yet she wasn’t down yet!“Mr Stuart!” One of the head investors Mr Harrison spoke and I crinkled a smile towards his directi

VIVIANWhat was I thinking?Well,it was too late now.I tightened my hand on his neck as he moved me from the wall to the foot of the bed and I cant say that I didn’t want my back hitting the bed.My body ached like never before and I tried to not seem too needy but since the moment my eyes set on Nate and his emerald coloured suit, the way it clashed against his eyes and the way his muscles bulged from the clothing, I knew that it was going to be difficult getting him out.My legs that he had wrapped against this waist, seemed to come off as he sat me down on the bed, he was kneeling and the next moment he was standing .My eyes were bulged out. Was he doing what I thought he was doing or was this dejavu?He placed his hands on his belt and in one moment, his pants were off revealing his briefs and my brows shot up in surprise.He knelled beneath my feet and placed his hands on either side of my thighs as he pulled my pyjama shorts down and gradually. I knew he wanted to test if I wa

VIVIANThe rays of sunlight streamed into my eyes and I stretched my limbs, a smile etched on my face as the quiet of the room made me even more pleased.I looked below the bed and found that it was empty, like the way I had intended for it to be . Nate had gotten the message yesterday , a part of me wanted to feel bad but fuck that.I checked the time on my phone and found out that I had even slept in, there were no maids waking me up for breakfast, no fights? I could really step into this life, a life without Nate Stuart, I bet I would even like it.I swinged my leg away from the bed, seeing that It was just ten in the morning, Nate would be by the patio or he would have stepped out of the house and I took a breathe, got showered and dressed and prepared myself to meet him.I needed to play on his good side and get a good enough lie to make him think I didn’t need his help with whatever it was that I was going to do to go outside of the house.As I climbed down the stairs, it irked

VIVIANMy heart was racing!Did he see me?I wanted to check around my surroundings to see if I would see Nate's customized BMW but I didn't see it.The way my heart was pulsing, I went straight to my car started the ignition and drove off, straight to the house.Maybe Nate had called in and he couldn't reach me. I didn't plan this part of my lie, if I had even had the chance to tell the lie.I arrived at home and noticed that the maids had a stare about them, I was almost too afraid to call one of them to ask if Nate had called.It was going to be easy, there was no way that Nate was at home, at least by this time.There was nothing for me to be worried about, nothing for me to start over thinking.I placed an arm on the door and with a breath, swing the door and gasped in shock.sweat beaded my head immediately.Nate was standing with his hands taking a cup to his lips while the other hand was vicariously typing on his phone."Nate..." I breathed out in shock but Nate didn't turn ar

VIVIANMy eyes fluttered awake, there was a weight pressed behind my back and I loved the feel of it.I gave a small moan as I pressed myself into the weight, a sensation crawled up on my stomach and I loved the feel.The warmness.I placed my hand on my stomach and my breath froze, making me jump out of the bed in fright.I blinked twice as hard as I started to realize that it wasn’t a dream that I was pressed against a weight but instead, it was none other than Nate in my fucking bed.The spot I occupied was now been felt up, his huge hands tapping the bed and slowly his eyes opened, the cutest set of eyes and normally in the past,I would be fawn over it but not today and certainly, not right now.“What the absolute hell! Are you doing here and in bed with me? “ I asked, my hands immediately crossed.Instead of Nate to respond to what I was asking, he took his sweet time to sit up and then proceeded to rub his eyes and the very image of it, irritated me.“Is this what you want to be

Chapter 51Vivian's POVThe elevator doors slid open and a man walked in.His chiseled features and strong jawline left me breathless. His dark hair was perfectly messy like he had just gotten out of bed and ran his fingers through it. He was dressed in a tailored suit, his broad shoulders filling out the fabric perfectly. His fragrance seemed familiar, a subtle blend of spice and leather that made my heart skip a beat.Nate's style was quite similar to his. For some reason, his cold smile reminded me of Nate. Wait, why was I thinking about that man? I caught myself allowing thoughts of him to intrude my head.I was staring too much at him. ‘Stop looking!’ my mind screamed at me but I was too stunned to move. He seemed to sense my gaze on him and turned to me, his eyes locking onto mine. I could feel my cheeks flushing at the sight of him as my mind raced thinking of where I had seen him before. “Good morning”, he greeted. His low and husky voice sent shivers down my spine. My mind

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
Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 106
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
Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 105
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
