All Chapters of Divorcing him: Mr billionaire doesn't want our baby: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

VIVIANMy head throbbed painfully despite the aspirin I had just ingested. My body did not at all feel like mine. My palms were sweaty, my throat dry and my eyes itchy. I did not know what to think, did not even want to think at all. I just felt the irresistible urge to lie on my bed and sleep it all away. These days, it felt like I was being hit by ice stones of trouble every other day. It was either Nate, or Richard, or Emily and it was getting too exhausting for me to act like I was alright inside. I had thought divorcing Nate and moving out of his house would grant me the respite I needed but this far, I'd barely had a moment to exhale. It felt everyday like I was underwater, waiting with bated breath for something, anything to happen. I was simply going through the motions now, paranoid and bored and just essentially uneasy. It was not only sad, it was distressing. I had told myself multiple times that I had finally let go of every toxicity in my life but how could I when my

VIVIANI sat back on my seat trying to calm down. We had decided to forego the looming banter for clearer heads. Nate had graciously pocketed his check and apologized, alongside Mr. Alex for mentioning my baby and we were all sitted again pretending to be civil. I still simmered in anger within me but I knew this wasn't the time nor the place for such, so I agreed to let it go. "Let's please proceed." Mr. Alex said. He looked eager to get this done and over with after my outburst. "Yes, please." I replied enjoying his discomfort. He was always so in control and for most of the time we were married, I had come to resent him a bit since he was Nate's spokesperson. Of course, he was only doing his job as a lawyer but he still came off as annoying sometimes. Right now, he perched on the edge of his chair as though there was fire on his butt. "Go ahead, Alex." Nate said with a defeated sigh. He did not bother to hide his unhappiness at the situation and I couldn't be bothered to pre

VIVIAN Nate's hand felt warm in mine. I wasn't sure why he was being so effusive but I played along with it. After all, all eyes were suddenly on us after my announcement that I would rather sit beside Nate than Gran. I'd just wanted to play the role of good wife, plus I felt uncomfortable being left alone with Gran but Nate was being too forward. He took my hand in his and led me towards the dinning room while making sure nobody collided into me. When we walked in, Gran who was already seated at the head of the table waved us over. "Sit here." he said nodding to the chairs closest to him on the right side. Some of Nate's aunties and uncles had already settled into the chairs on the left side. Nate pulled out a chair for me and took the one closest to Gran. I was grateful that I did not have to sit beside Gran and answer his invasive questions because I was certain I would slip up and it seemed that Nate's mother had irreparably ruined my mood. "Is this seat taken?"

VIVIANI stared back at Nate's mother. I had been certain that nothing she could say would catch me off balance but this one definitely did. How could she brazenly talk about an heir when I had just lost a baby? I wanted to ask if she understood what it meant to lose a child but I also knew she would find fault with that question and that nobody would take my side. Still, I needed to say something, anything that would deflect her atrocious question. "I..." "It's my fault." Nate sounded a bit irritated as he said the words. "Please don't speak to Vivian in that manner. I wanted her to heal properly, I still do." Nate's mother could barely contain a snort but she said nothing. "And even though an heir matters to me, she matters the most." He looked at me as he said the last part. Anyone that was watching us would never believe that we had just finalized the process of our divorce before attending this party. I smiled at him as if I was truly grateful before meeting his mother's e

VIVIANI watched Ethan as he spoke. His voice was soft, calming, just as good as the fresh air I so desperately sought. It made me feel guilty that I had so obviously avoided all evening, instead favoring Nate who did not deserve it. "Dinner was awkward, wasn't it?" He pressed his lips together in an apologetic gesture as if anything had been his fault. "Nothing I wasn't expecting." I replied. I was grateful that he at least had the good sense to feel sorry as a member of the Stuart family. Nate had apologized too but I couldn't just take him seriously. "Viv, you shouldn't be so complacent. They'll keep stepping over you like that. I could see it in your face that you were uncomfortable." I was surprised at how he could read me so well. I nodded, casting my eyes to the floor and digging my toes into the earthy ground. "I was. Your mother doesn't seem to like me much. Many of them don't seem to." I was not sure why I was opening up to him but there was something about him that
