Chapter Eighty One
Justin’s POVI stood still, my expression blank as I tried to make sense of the words I thought I’d just heard. “I’m… not sure I heard you clearly. Did you just say you’re pregnant? And the child is mine?” I asked with furrowed brows, waiting for Bella to tell me that I’d heard her wrong and that she didn’t actually say that but something else entirely. She shook her head, her tears falling freely down her face. But I didn’t care, her tears didn’t matter at that moment.“I tried to tell you, I didn’t know how to.” She sobbed into her palms as if she was too ashamed to look me in the face. She was making no sense. Nothing she was saying made sense to me and it frustrated me to no end. My jaw clenched tightly as I tried to keep my anger in check and not yell at her to speak up and explain what the hell she meant by she was pregnant with my child. “Bella, you have two seconds to start talking or I swear I’ll…” I trailed off, gritting my teeth to keep myself from saying something I m

Chapter Eighty Two
Justin’s POV“Do you just plan to leech off me without even telling me why you had to come here?” Jace asked me again and I didn’t pay him any mind. It’d been three days since I had moved to his place and he’d since then continued to pester me to know what had happened between me and Bella.“Why don’t you ask her?” I’d tell him every time he asked and he’d whine about how he was supposed to hear it from me because I was his best friend and how he couldn’t just ask Bella to explain to him why I’d left the house. “Maybe it’s time I throw you out.” He threatened. “Believe it or not but I’ll throw you out if you don’t tell me what happened. You know I’m not bluffing.” “Why can’t you just mind your business?” I scowled at him, downing the rest of my drink in one go. “Trust me, you would hate it if I started minding my business with you. And you can’t be here in my house and expect that of me. So yeah, speak up.” He snapped his fingers impatiently waiting for me to start explaining mysel

Chapter Eighty Three
Ayva’s POVIt was the day for my final driving test. Aiden was supposed to come with me, I was supposed to call him and tell him about it but since what happened between him, me and Justin the previous week, I’d been up too embarrassed to contact him and he didn’t try to contact me either. I guess he was still mad about what I’d done. Honestly, that night when he walked in, I felt so embarrassed that I couldn’t even say anything. I didn’t understand the intensity of what I’d done until he had to spell it out with me. I didn’t realize how much I’d disrespected him until he was vocal about it. I realized then that no matter how much I wanted to be with Justin, I should have honored the man who invited me to that place. I owed Aiden an apology and I promised myself that after passing my driving test, I’d call him to share the good news and then use the opportunity to apologize to him. “How are you feeling?” Olivia asked me just as we made our way into the driving school. She’d insisted

Chapter Eighty Four
Ayva’s POVI was stunned and confused. I couldn’t say a word, as I looked from Aiden to Amanda and then Aiden again. I kept looking at him, trying to make sense of what I’d just witnessed. Aiden noticed my presence first and the way his eyes popped so wide showed that he never expected me there. Amanda on the other hand looked… amused. Maybe I was wrong and thought too much of her expression but I thought she looked quite satisfied that I had seen what I’d seen. And like the two faces that she was, her expression changed instantly to feigned shock. She gasped, quickly picking up her blouse from the table as if she had so much decency and wanted to protect herself from being seen indecently. “Ayva, you didn’t say you were coming here.” She said as she started to put her clothes back on but I wasn’t paying attention to her but rather to Aiden whom I was now utterly disappointed in. I felt… betrayed because I thought he was a friend, I thought he was by my side. I told him everything, h

Chapter Eighty Five
Ayva’s POV“What are you doing here?” I asked Aiden with a frown as soon as I pulled the door open. I had been preparing to go to bed when Olivia told me that he was at the door, asking to see me. “Can I come in?” He asked. “We need to talk.” Since I left MI fashion company a few hours ago he’d been trying to get my attention, claiming we needed to talk but I didn’t pay him no mind. I didn’t return his texts or his calls because I had nothing I wanted to discuss with him. And now just when I was planning on going to bed, he’d suddenly appeared at my door, asking to talk. “No, you can’t come in,” I said sternly. “Whatever you have to say, I’m sure you can say it here,” I said, making sure that my body was blocking the doorway in such a way that he wouldn’t be able to enter or look inside my house if he tried to. He sighed, his left hand moving to rub the back of his neck. I looked up and met his eyes, a little surprised by his action. I remember that Zion usually did the same thing

Chapter Eighty Six
Justin’s POV“I’m confident that we can win this case, J.” Carter, my attorney and friend from law school said. We were currently seated in a courtroom, we had been sat there for over an hour waiting for the judge to arrive. It frustrated me to no end that I couldn’t leave despite having more important matters to tend to at the office. I was sitting on one side of the courtroom with Carter while Bella was on the other side with her lawyer. The divorce had taken a drastic turn all because Bella had chosen to do things the difficult way. I’d filed for a divorce with her infidelity being the reason for the divorce and she’d sued me for emotional abuse and a bunch of other things I didn't do. And now, I was going to have to be frequenting the courtroom more often than I’d ever like. My phone beeped, I was getting called from the office again. I had a board meeting scheduled in the next few minutes, an important meeting I could not miss. I glanced over at the doorway for the umpteenth

Chapter Eighty Seven
Justin’s POV"What's happening here?" I asked, my eyes darting between Bella and Ayva, then back to Bella again. "Why are you here?" I snapped, unable to hide my irritation and dislike for Bella in my voice."Of course, I'm the only one you have a problem with seeing here. You've been living here with her, haven't you?" Bella accused, her eyes filled with hatred. "Let me remind you that you're still a married man, and until our divorce is finalized, being with her is cheating on me!" She spoke with a heaving chest, clearly upset."Can you please stop talking about me as if I'm not here?" Ayva said, her face showing a slight frown. She gave Bella a disapproving look. "Remember, you called me to come here."Bella did? Why? I looked at Bella with a questioning gaze, wondering why in the world she’d called Ayva to the house. What was she thinking? Ayva didn’t even know the details of our divorce. So why?"Yeah, I called her here, but don't act like you weren't planning to come tonight an

Chapter Eighty Eight
Ayva’s POV“Ayva,” I heard Justin call my name from behind. “Wait, please.” I didn’t listen, I didn’t wait. I was too upset and I couldn’t let him see my face at that moment. I could let him see that I was on the verge of tears and so I increased my walking pace and tried to make it to the roadside before he could catch up with me. I’d barely managed to step out of Jace’s compound when Justin appeared in front of me, blocking my path. “Get out of my way!” I spat, making sure my head was lowered so he wouldn’t even be able to tell that I wasn’t as angry as I sounded but rather upset and hurt. “Not until you listen to what I had to say, please Ayva, it’s not as it seems, I promise.” His voice broke a little, he sounded desperate and genuine and it annoyed me that I couldn’t force myself to leave after knowing that, it annoyed me that I’d chosen to wait and listen to his explanation because he’d asked for it. I mean it wasn’t as if the explanation would change anything so why wait an

Chapter Eighty Nine
Justin’s POV“Thank you for driving me home,” Ayva mumbled before moving to open the car door. It was the first and only word she’d said to me in the past thirty minutes. Our lack of conversation wasn’t because I didn’t try to bring up something because trust me I did try, but rather because Ayva had seemed so uninterested that she’d chosen to reply to my questions with either a nod or a shake of her head. I figured after my third question that she didn’t want to talk to me and as much as that made me feel down, I respected her wishes and shut my mouth all through the ride. At least she’d let me take her home ‘cause I definitely would have felt like shit if she’d turned me down when I offered to take her home. I got out of the car as she stepped out and when she gave me a questioning look, I felt compelled to explain myself. “Um, I just wanted to know if you’ll be free tomorrow,” I asked awkwardly, my hand reaching to scratch the back of my neck. She threw me another questioning gaze

Chapter Ninety
Justin’s POVI was late for the family meeting. I kept glancing at my wristwatch as Aiden did his presentation on the new design he and his team were proposing we worked on. The presentation was supposed to have ended an hour ago but due to some technical issues, we weren’t able to start the meeting on time. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I brought it out and checked it under the desk to see that it was a text from Emily. ‘Mom just got here.’ The message read. “What the fuck!” I cursed under my breath. Why the fuck was she there? She had no business there. The meeting was arranged by Bella’s dad and I knew it was going to be about my divorce with her. My mom had no business being there especially because my dad would be there with his lover. It was almost as if she went there to get hurt. How did she even find out about the meeting? I’d warned Emily not to tell her and I very much knew that Emily kept it from her. ‘Tell her to go back home now. The meeting doesn’t concern her.’ I
