Danielle’s POVIt was Christmas Eve, and I was home, alone.The snowstorm raged outside, fierce winds whipping through the air and carrying snowflakes that blanketed the ground in white. It was freezing cold, despite the warm air that the air conditioner emitted. I shivered slightly, keeping my eyes glued on the screen before me."On the road leading to the Newton network, a major accident has just occurred." My eyes fluttered slightly the moment I heard those words from the newscaster. My husband was somewhere around there. "One person whose identity is yet to be known died in the unfortunate event, while two others were severely injured." I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I peered keenly at the screen hoping to catch a glimpse of the car of whoever was involved. Even though the accident happened right outside his office, I prayed that Jayden wasn't one of the victims. "I mean… He's Jayden. If anything happened, the news would say so." I calmed myself down with that t
Danielle’s POV“Wait what?” I looked at Jayden, my voice trembling.“You heard me.” He said. Short and cold."Are you serious, right now?" I raised my voice, but feeling the droplets of the tears escaped my eyes. They fell on the divorce paper I held but I had no time for that, “Have you ever loved me? What about our baby?” It felt like my world was spinning yet there he was, calmly staring at me like he hadn't just told me he didn't want me and my child anymore. "Stop being dramatic, Danielle. You always knew I didn't want you."Jayden was right. Yet I couldn't fathom why he waited until I was expecting a child - his child. To do this. “You’d leave your baby?”He sighed, looking miserable, “I’m sorry. I’ll make sure that it is well taken care of financially. But I still want the divorce, right now.” It? My child was not an object. "Fuck you and your money Jayden, this child needs a father."He heaved, looking up slowly at me. His eyes were cold as he began to speak. “You’re right,
Danielle's POV.As my eyes fluttered open, a sterile smell filled my nose. My ears were instantly filled with the raging and beeps of machines. It felt like I was floating. "Hello dear. How do you feel?" I squinted, trying to take her in, "I... I think I'm okay. What happened?""You had an accident." She responded with a bright smile. "Do you remember that?"I gave a slow nod as the vague memory of the incident came back to me. "It's good that you remember, it shows that you're healing fast, and you will be fine."A sharp pain in my stomach sent a reminder of my child. "How is my baby?" "You need to recover, ma'am. We will talk about that when you are stronger.""Is my baby okay?""I'm sorry, dear." The nurse responded slowly, reaching out to hold my shoulder. "You miscarried."My jaw dropped in disbelief. "No..." I struggled to sit up on the bed. "No!" There were tears welling up in my eyes. "That can't be true." This baby meant so much to me. I had dreamt of being a mother for so
Danielle's POV.I wore a frown, glaring at him as his gaze narrowed towards me. I could see there was concern in his eyes but I was in no mood for his sympathy. "Hand me my coat," I said to Fred who did as I asked. I slid my hands into its pocket and retrieved the divorce papers. I had it with me since the day of the accident, waiting for Jayden to come by. I signed my name without a second thought, handing the document to him. "Here, Jayden. We are done. That's the divorce."Jayden looked at Fred and I with no despicable emotions for a while. He was utterly shocked by my actions and couldn't react.I turned again towards Fred. "When can I start work at your company?"Through the corner of my eye, I could see Jayden's jaw drop in disbelief. The concern in his face vanished and he was instantly furious. Fisting his hands and shooting a glare at Fred who smiled calmly, unflinched."Why did it take you so long to come, anyway?" I turned to face him."I could have come earlier, Danielle
Jayden’s POV.Christmas was a few days away. I strutted out of a meeting hall, my fists thrown into my pocket. A beep on my phone interrupted me. I dipped my hand into my pants and retrieved my device. The message was from Danielle. A tinge of excitement surged through me as my eyes focused on her message. "Hey, Jayden. I hope your day is going well. I have been thinking about you. I miss you. It's so lonely in your mansion, please come home early today. It's Christmas Eve and I don't want to spend another evening surfing through TikTok or watching the news."I exhaled softly, striding hastily to the media room where my next engagement for the day was. Even though I still couldn't decide how I felt about Danielle, I wanted to get back to her as soon as possible."Good evening, boss," the manager said anxiously when she spotted me standing at the door, my eyes scanning the room and the busy staff members."Let me have the files." I took them from her desk and scanned through them hurri
