Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 71
Vivian“If you try to breach that contract, if you try to tell anyone what's going on here,” he said, his eyes glinting with menace, “I'll make sure you regret it. I know where your mother is, Vivian. I know all about her little stay at the hospital remember.” I could feel tears brimming in my eyes as I remembered our stay at the pack when he had followed me to the hospital. How foolish I had been in that moment. I struggled against him trying to pull away, but his grip was too strong. “Don't bother trying to hide her, Vivian,” he said, his voice dripping with contempt. “I'll always find her. And if you try to cross me, I'll make sure she suffers.” He suddenly let go of my arm and I collapsed on the couch, a crumpled mess. I could barely hold my tears back as I felt a new wave of fear wash over me. I was trapped. He had me right where he wanted me. “What do you plan on gaining from this, Richard? You're not even making sense. I'm a married woman, and Nate will never let you get awa

NATE“Nate, please … please!” she pleaded but I was no longer listening to a word that she was saying. I walked faster till I was seated in the driver’s seat of the car and without looking back, I turned the ignition on and drove out of the garage and onto the exit of the estate.My heart pulled strings and tugged severely, I new I had hurt her. The worst of all been the time she had been at the hospital when I learned too late that she had just had an Uterine Evacuation. At the time, I had no idea and the fact that she went through something like that and she was alone through the whole process was something that hunted me till this day.I was pissed, I am still pissed at myself that I allowed something so trivial to be the reason why there was a ridge driven between us. I had finally found out that I cared for Vivian way more than I even wanted to admit, I was slowly warming up to the feeling and then the accident happened and everything got burned and I knew it was my fault.I had t

NATE“That’s great! Gran is in town and I had no idea?” she asked but I didn’t know how I was supposed to respond to that so I just gave a small smile and I decided not to press on the issue.“Well, it was nice running into you, but I have where to be,” I said as casually as I could and turned around but suddenly, her hands wrapped around my arm ad pulled me back. I stopped in my movements as I tried to process what just happened.“You look paler than usual Nate, are you not doing well? Is it work?” she asked and I looked taken aback. I was about to open my lips to say something when my phone rang, I decided to use this opportunity to check out my items.“Hello?” I answered, looking back at the last minute to see who was calling me, the international number that flashed across the screen of my phone told me immediately that it was an important call.“Mr Stuart, I wonder if you could make it back to the office. There has been a new development on the situation of things and I am afraid

Vivian Nate’s harshness was something that I knew I honestly deserved, his pain was something even more palpable. I had betrayed him and there was nothing I could do to change that and the very idea haunted me. The moment he drove off, I went back into the house determination etched on my face as I decided on something I had already been rolling in my mind. I just had to make sure I paid Richard back in every penny and every cent. I take my laptop and log into the company's logs making sure to dig into everything they have been doing for the past twenty years but nothing was coming up. I was sweating even though I was under the Air conditioner, my body clamped with stress as my hands clicked and clacked away. The maids were not around and the environment was as quiet as a graveyard. I hated that Nate had sent the maids and everyone home because he had prepared for a fight that had now altered the course of our already struggling relationship where for the first time I was in the

VIVIAN “OK? Then explain,” I said calmly and Ethan breathed out a sigh. “Tracy called me originally when she heard the news and somehow we both got to know that you were no longer working for Nate because apparently you must have told her that you were planning on quitting your job, she was only looking out for you and when I found out that you no longer worked for Nate, it started to make more sense but at the same time it couldn’t be true that you would do such a thing that they were saying on the news, that was our conclusion earlier today and when you called her for some files, she called me because I was close enough to pick you up and its faster,” he confessed and the anger I had in my chest dropped drastically. I felt a bit of guilt, I really didn’t deserve Tracy. “So, lets get those files?” he asked and I nodded my head, deciding to focus on the evidences I was storing. We arrived at the company and I noticed that despite the fact that the day had gotten darker there were

VIVIANEthan escorted me to the door and eventually, waved me off and that was how the conversation about the crush thing took a turn and died. I tried to invite Ethan inside but he declined and when he turned to leave, he was exceptionally sad and I knew this time I had to drop the issue.I decided to concentrate on the work at hand, I didn’t know why Nate had decided to go to the office or why Eve was there but whatever was happening, I knew that once I took down Richard that I would be done with this, after all there was nothing holding me here asides from my guilt.I began to compile all of the evidences on me and started to arrange it, pointing out all the instances that made Richard’s so called proposal come out as the fraud that it was. I also added proof of how the AI technology that he had made was actually just a way to make sure that he was able to hack into companies databases and steal technology.As I rounded up my collation and mailed it to the company police and some m

VIVIANThe butler led me out of the room but I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to be taken away from Gran or Nate. Something was amiss and it wasn’t pretty.I have never seen Gran quite as angry as he was and it was scary to see.The butler closed the door but I refused to stray away from the double doors.“Mrs Stuart?” he asked suggestively but I placed a fake smile on my face “Why don’t you go on ahead?” I asked and he gave me a look that he knew what I was doing.I wasn’t leaving this place until I could get into this room and be sure Nate was OK.The image of Nate’s blood-stained arms and the small cuts, the throbbing veins on his exposed arms made bile want to rise up my throat as I questioned why on earth Gran would be so violent and harm his grandson like that.I knew that Gran had other Grand kids, Ethan included but it was obvious who was his favorite without even trying. It has always been Nate, so why the bruises?“How dare you, Nate?!” I heard Gran’s unmistakable voice

Vivian's POVMy hands trembled greatly when I opened the doors and found Nate bleeding.I gasped I shock as Gran picked up a teacup and threw it towards his head, his body arching back and whatever strength left in his legs gave out as he crashed to the floor.I knew the sight broke me but when I saw that Gran was about to pick up yet another item to throw at Nate, I rushed forward, my hands and my body shielding his face and body, drawing him into my chest as I used my body to block the attack.Gran’s hands dropped immediately and the item broke.Tears started to run from my eyes as Nate looked up at me with eyes that pleaded for mercy.“Gran,” I said, tearing my eyes away from Nate, while my other hand cleaned what was left of the tears that had escaped.“Please,” I pleaded and I saw the energy and the rage give out from his limbs.Eve came out of nowhere,her hands forming a sort of shed as she tried to block both me and Nate. I frowned almost immediately.“I will not let you hurt h

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
Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby 107
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
