"You've been scarce around the house, why's that?"
I was just coming out of the room I'd turned to mine, freshly showered and all dressed for a stay at home.
I bumped into my husband, someone I'd been avoiding for a few days now. "You've been scarce around the house, why's that?" I threw back.
He curled his fists, I saw it and my eyes flashed him a warning. He had better not raise that hand to my body ever again.
"So now you have the audacity to throw back questions at me?" His temper was like a short fuse.
"If I can't question you, then you have no right to question me." I made to walk past him but he drew me back roughly.
I struggled with him and pushed him with all my might. He staggered, disbelief making its way into his eyes. "How dare you, Priscilla?! Have you forgotten who the head of the house is?!"
"If you notice, I no longer share the same room with you. Until you learn how to b

I stirred awake, my eyes fluttered open. Where was I? I raised myself to a sitting position and saw I was naked.And there was someone beside me. I turned to see that this person had the blankets pulled over their head. It was none other than my husband.I winced a little as my head throbbed. I shook him awake. "Hey, babe. Wake up."He merely stirred but did not wake. "Christian, get up. We slept through the party." I shook him.The door opened just then. "What is going on here?"I faced the door and paled. There was my husband standing on the doorway.Who was this other guy? "What are you doing, Hailey?" There was anger and hurt.I opened my mouth and closed them back, feeling like a fish out of water. I blinked my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly. I pulled down the blankets and gasped.Fear squeezed tighter, apprehension crept up my spine. I could feel blood drain from my face."You cheated on me?!" Christian's boyish handsome face went taut in derision and betrayal. "N-no, I

In my haste to make a run for the bathroom, I almost fell flat on my face. I managed to untangle the bedsheet around me and within seconds, I was kneeling before the toilet bowl and puking my guts out."Mrs. Baldwin?" A gentle voice called."Almost done." I replied amidst vomits. My maid, Lisa, waited until I was done. I flushed, then gently stood to go rinse my mouth and wash my hands by the sink."Yes, Lisa?" I turned to her when I was done."Your tea is ready, ma'am. It'll help calm your stomach." She said."Thank you. Where's my husband? Did he return home last night?" I was still weak but my stomach was stable a bit.Christian had not been home last night. Due to my morning sickness and other pregnancy-induced factors, I had been unable to wait for him."I think he's in his room." She commented, following me obediently back into our matrimonial bedroom."In his room? You have no idea if he came into our room last night?" That was new. Why was he in his room? We both had our sep

It's been two days. Two days since I last saw my husband. I had no choice than to lodge in a hotel when I saw it was getting late.Thankfully, one of the purses he had thrown at me contained two of three of my credit cards. The third one was in my drawer.I had to get myself a new phone because my old one was on top of my bedside table when I left. I was hurt but I was also trying to understand that he was angry.He had seen me with another man and now, I was carrying another man's child. I tried calling him yesterday since I had his number off hand, he had picked at first but as soon as he heard my voice, he ended it and didn't pick again after that.I was now in a restaurant trying to eat. My baby needed food to survive. Even though I was not hungry, I was obligated to eat for my baby's sake.I did not like the hotel's food so I found this really nice restaurant close by. But after toying with the ravioli I ordered, I pushed it away. I lowered my head so no one would see the tears.

I walked back into the restaurant. I allowed my eyes roamed the place, I spotted where he was seated. I marched towards his table. He was with some men. There were glasses of wine before them and a bottle.There was the waitress who had served me coming towards me. "Ma'am, here's your bill. I..."I ignored her and focused on the table of these men. I randomly picked two glasses still filled with wine and emptied their contents on him, angry tears filling my eyes."I hope your conscience haunts you everyday of your life!" I took the other two wine glasses while he stared in shock and also poured them on him. "I hope you never find peace and may your marriage, if you have any, and life in general be ruined the same way you ruined mine." I wiped tears with the back of my hand. "I hope karma visits you and steal your happiness as you have stolen mine."I turned away from his table and, on heavy legs and with a despaired heart, walked to mine to get my bag. I opened it and brought my card

JAREDA knocked sounded on my door, I was very much in a bad place and would so like to order that person away but this was a business place.I had to be careful, it could be an important client. "Who is that?"The door opened and whoever it was walked in. "What gave you the right to walk in, Miss Bordeaux?" My head was still bent over paperwork.No client would walk into my office without being invited. "Have you read the news, Jared?" I whipped my head up. "Uncle Pete. Good morning.""Morning, Jared. Here." The man who looked so much like my father, he was his twin actually, slid his phone across to me and took one of the chairs opposite mine."What's happening on the news?" Perplexity could be heard in my voice as I took his phone and read what he was trying to show me.Anger tightened. "You know this is not me, uncle."He observed me. "Who is that girl? She seem to be pretty certain of knowing you.""She's a lunatic. Who even allowed this to be posted?! I should shut down that

"Where are you taking me to?" I asked, taking note of the different route he was driving.He had come to bail me few minutes ago. I had spent thirty six hours in a holding cell. I'd had my morning sickness just this morning and it was a kind female cop that had helped me with a bucket.I was itchy and unkempt but I didn't care about my physical looks, not when my heart was bruised. This emotional turmoil was too much for me."Is that the apology you should be rendering?" His tone was as I'd heard it the last time — unfriendly and hard."You want me to apologize to you after what you've done to me?" My voice shook badly with sadness and disbelief.I blinked back tears. "Take me to my husband, let's go talk to him. You're the only one who can clear this air! You had sex with me.""Shut up!" He bellowed.His deep angry voice had me flinching as though he'd slapped me. "Someone — who was definitely not me — had sex with you and you didn't even know?! What are you? A child? How can a full

"How dare you?! The audacity!" She raged as Uncle Pete pulled her away from me. "Let go of me, Pete. Let me teach this gold digger a lesson!""Don't touch her, Martha. What is wrong with you?! How could you hit a pregnant girl?" Uncle Pete was not at all happy with how she'd behaved.Me, on the other hand, could only cry and hold my cheeks. The events of the past two days bore down heavily on me and had me wailing like a baby before everyone."Stop that crocodile tears of yours and get out of this house!" Jared's mother, Martha bellowed angrily. "You gold digger! You think I don't know your type. You're out to ruin my son. To ruin his reputation. You want to marry into money, is that it?! I'll teach you never to try to humiliate my son! Do you know who the Johnson family is, you stupid whore?!""Enough, Martha! Enough!" Uncle Pete was angry and yelled at her.I sank back into the chair in pain and despair. When I raised my head to meet Jared's gaze, he was quiet. I could not decipher

The click of heels coming from the foyer subdued every conversation. Only Martha was exclaiming in anger. "What the hell, Pete?!"A girl came into view. To say she was beautiful, was understating it. She looked like a goddess and even walked like one. But something told me she was going to be one evil goddess.I might be wrong."Hey babe." She squealed as soon as she saw Jared and ran to him."Hey, baby." Jared was happy to see her as well. He stood and hugged her. They exchanged a brief kiss. I should not be watching them display their affection so openly but I couldn't help it. Someone cleared their throat, I jerked my eyes away to meet Martha's hateful one. She had seen me moping hopelessly at them like some pervert.Ashamed, I brought my head down. I couldn't even look at Uncle Pete to know if he had seen or not. "So who is marrying who?" She asked again, taking in everyone's faces. She stopped when she got to mine, a small frown appeared. "Who is she?"Pulling her close to him

Secret Billionaire Heiress: Ex-wife Returns He's Got Some Explaining To Do
The first 'what?' had been exclaimed by Jared but the second one had been stuttered by..."Miss Nancy?" I called, not believing she was behind us. At her feet laid shattered glass of water that pooled around her and flowed in short distances. How had she even walked passed us the first time without us seeing her?Except she took a different route as there were many hallways in the house.She seemed to realize herself and blinked, getting rid of tears that had welled to the surface but were yet to fall. "I-I'm sorry for intruding, everyone. I'll clean this up too."With one pained look thrown at guilty uncle Pete's way, she left. What was happening? What did I just witness? My tears had stopped flowing.Jared and me exchanged meaningful stares. "Excuse me, I'll be right back. Hailey, don't go anywhere, please. There's an explanation for this, I don't know how logical or valid it'll sound to you but I'll clear the air." Maybe it was the pleading stare or the fact that he was on the b

"I've been trying to call you, Hailey. Why haven't you...hey, I'm talking to you." His eyes followed me as I walked past him like he wasn't even there."Mommy." Zion wriggled out of Miss Nancy's hold, and ran to hug me. "Hey, baby." I grinned, stooping to receive him into my arms. "I missed you, mommy." He kissed my cheek, making my heart swell."I missed you too, my baby.""Miss Nancy, take Zion to his playroom, I want to have a minute with Hailey." Uncle Pete instructed a befuddled Miss Nancy who had seen how I'd ignored him.She was probably wondering what had transpired between us. "Good afternoon, uncle." Jared's voice had me turning in surprise to see him carrying a bag. My brows furrowed. "What's with the bag?""Jared!" Zion left my side and ran to Jared's. The latter immediately dropped his bag and lifted him in the air, making Zion giggle so hard. "Hey, champ.""Are you coming to live with us?" Zion asked as soon as he was well positioned on Jared's hip."If you and them

As I stepped out of the main building of the White House, I saw some men dressed in black carrying some suspicious looking bags rounding a corner. "What are those?" I asked in a low tone."I have no idea. Daddy said it's nothing to concern myself with." The girl who'd introduced herself as Nina replied. After we'd had our conversation, she had decided to see me off to where my car was parked. She asked a lot of questions about Jared and I'd responded likewise. It was obvious she had a huge crush on him. I almost felt pity for her because I knew Jared would not allow it happen. She was too young. A minor from what she'd told me of her age. Though she was one very beautiful girl with a smart head sitting on her shoulders. "Hm." I averted my eyes when one of the black suits began to give me pointed stares. "Thank you for standing up to my father. I hope he does allow Jared back into the race." Her face fell a little, brown tendrils strayed to her eyes.She pushed them back behind h

"You must be lying! This is bullshit! I'll advice you to leave my office this minute before I call security." He appeared angry."Do that and I'll have this published in two days, Mr. President." Despite his show of anger, I remained calm. "You don't have an impeccable past and I am sure you damn well know what I am talking about. Were you aware Cecilia was pregnant before you broke up?""I will not answer that question." He gritted."I'm guessing it's a yes." I stared unblinkingly.He soon lowered his lashes, anger and defeat in his eyes. "You're playing a dangerous game, Hailey.""Life is a risk. This way, that way, any way, danger surrounds us all." I shrugged.He heaved a sigh. "How did you find out?""Doesn't matter, Mr. President. The question is why would you abandon your own child?""I..." Another sigh, suddenly, he looked weary. "I didn't mean to. She came to me with the pregnancy but my parents

"Hello, Mr. President." I stepped majestically into his office, clad in my custom-made cream-colored suit.My pair of burgundy Manolo Blahnik clicked confidently as I reached where the President was. My lip stick was burgundy as well.My black leather purse and my pair of Ray Ban were a wonderful match.Not to mention that I smelled exactly like the interestingly contrasting mix of sweet and strong, adding to my confidence and charm.He stood from behind his desk to give me a handshake.It had not taken long to arrange for this meeting with him, given his relationship with uncle Pete who many still thought was my lover, the President included, he couldn't turn me down."Thank you for making time to see me on such short notice." I emitted a polite smile.He returned the smile. "It's a pleasure. When I got the message from Rashford, my P.A, I wondered why the fiancee of my closest friend wants to see me.""You n

DENISE"It would seem fate is on our side, dad." I was in a jolly mood that evening. "What is it? What happened?" He was sitting on one of the sofa, a small console table before him. A big ashtray almost filled with ashes and bottles of beer littered the area. He was also in a jolly mood, that I could see. "News just reached me that Hailey's daughter is dead." I grinned, it was a mile-wide stretch. "Oh. And you're happy because..." His brows furrowed a bit as though he was not getting how that was making me excited. "She won't have time to come after us. She'll be too busy mourning and crying. No more court nonsense." I said in a 'duh' tone as if I couldn't believe he was not getting the point. "It's just a temporary distraction, sweet pea. How long do you think she'll mourn? Till eternity? Once she's fine, she's coming back for you again. For us. For the company." He reasoned. "Oh." My level of excitement drastically reduced. I was getting his point now. Once she was over the

"What?!" My voice echoed my shock and confusion.There was also the fear but thankfully that particular emotion was unheard."That will never be possible, Jared! Not while I am alive." Mia swore, then to me, she directed. "You must be so happy, bi..."The glare I gave her had her swallowing the B-word, then she opted for another word. "...fuck you!""I know this is coming as a complete surprise and I...""Here's the maid, Jared." My son walked in just then, followed closely behind by an amused maid.My son had no clue he had just interrupted Jared and I was so glad he had, I didn't want to hear whatever he was saying...or feeling about me.Also, I'd want to know what had that maid looking at my son with a barely suppressed smile on her face."Her name is Violeta. And she said she is a maid." Zion proudly introduced."Sir, you asked for me?" Violeta stood before Jared."Good job,

NINA"Princess...Nina...wait... where are you going to? Come back here. Your father's busy." I ignored the call of my mom, continuing the angry march towards my father's office. My boots gave just the right effect, in accordance to my mood. "Baby..."I didn't turn, not even once. Neither did I spare my breathless mother a look once I stepped into the Presidential elevator. She didn't bother to follow me."... I'll keep you updated and..." My father's PA, Rashford, ended the call immediately he spotted me.He had on a look of guilt and slight fear which had me automatically frowning but not really putting it to mind. Though I barely knew the guy, I didn't really like him all that much and avoided him."Good day, Miss Nina." He bowed his greeting.I acknowledged with a curt nod, and kept walking. "If it's the President you're looking for, Miss Nina, he has a guest." He notified me. "Don't talk to me, Rashford. And don't try to stop me either." Finally, I had reached my father's
