ELLA'S POV I felt my pulse rise as I saw Madame Browne raise a wine glass in the air. A wicked smile played on her lips as her eyes darkened and her voice blared out, “I would like to raise a toast to the dissolution of your union.” A wave of disgust rolled in my veins as I wrapped my arms each other and watched them laugh with my face etched in horror. I inspected their gestures casually, taking note of each and every one of their chuckles.Their faces were adorned with malice as they mocked me. I tightened my wrapped arms as the cold air in the room crashed into the flesh of my neck. A cold shiver seeped down my spine as I flashed my gaze to Xavier.He was trying hard to hold himself back.I could already tell from the bulging veins that mapped against his forehead and his clenched fists. His eyes flared with rage that was as sharp as needle and his chest heaved as sweats trickled down his forehead.I took in a whiff of breath as I raised my hand to signal to him but before I coul

ELLA'S POVAfter the meeting with Madame Browne, Xavier and I left the dining room with our arms locked as we made our way up the stairs. We proceeded into the hallways and as we walked towards the elevator, I felt an unsettling sensation course through my veins.I caught the whiffs of Madame Browne's perfume in the air and my chest heaved as thought of her flooded my mind. A mischievous smile tugged at my lips as I locked my arms tighter with Xavier's as I gazed helplessly into his electrifying green eyes.“It's all about to come to an end now Xavier.” I mummured as he stared at me. We strolled into the elevator and as the door jammed close, I caught the glance of Madeline's figure racing towards the elevator's closing doors.My heart shook in my chest as I reached for the sensor thinking the door would open but it didn't hold back. Xavier pulled my hand backward and turned at me as he beamed with his voice filed with concern, “What was that?”His gaze sliced through the curious part

ELLA'S POV “And why is that?” I asked Xavier as he pulled closer to me and gripped my shoulders. “Why is a visit so important?”I was just about to ask him another question when his voice interrupted mine. Xavier's eyes shifted to me almost immediately, “We have to go meet the lawyer who is a good friend of mine. He will be the one to conduct the fake divorce arrangement. He called me to tell me he won't be available to respond to us if we don't visit today and speak with him before the D-Day.”My brows pulled closer as I stepped forward and I felt the cold air in the room brace my back. “But—”I opened my lips to speak but before I could, Xavier, beamed, “No buts Ella, you have to get ready. When we get back, I'll have you meet Madeline yourself without any intettiption.”As he said the words, his fingers proceeded to run through my hair as he pulled in for a kiss. Our lips locked in fiery kiss of passion and I pulled back to yawn.“Okay,” I nodded and turned as I paced towards the

MADAME BROWNE'S POV~The next day~It was finally here. The D-Day.I got up very early and ordered my maids to prepare my bath as I sat back on a high neck swivel chair and watched as the maids scurried about. I could sense their panic as they paced around the room. I could hear it all.Their hitching breaths, their muffled comments and the sound of their heels against the marbled floors.That was exactly what I wanted.I locked my arms and pulled into the soft cushions of the chair. I swiveled on the chair and turned in the direction of the floor to ceiling windows as I stared at them.Displayed on the thick glass texture was a clear shot of the sky topping buildings and a rendition of unattainable wealth. Something felt odd about it all.I could feel it in my bones. It was evident, like an impending storm waiting to wreak havoc. It was… Malice. I was enjoying this, I had to admit it at some point.Today, I'd get Xavier to realize Lucas and I are not in the same caliber as him.To

XAVIER'S POV.When we stepped out of the car, I pulled closer to Ella. Our arms were locked yet she felt distant. Her silence pushed me into thoughts as I stared into her eyes. The golden brown hues of lights from the sun buzzed into the color of her irises as I caught the traces of fear and anxiety in them.Her cheeks were flushed red and seeing her like that also made me tensed. I led the way towards the hospital as Madame Browne and Lucas followed me. Rochelle strutted behind me and with each stride she took, I noticed she tried to pull closer to me.When she finally caught up with me, she stretched her arm as if aiming to lock it with my other arm when I nudged it off. My eyes lit up and she snapped, “You can get as angry as you want Xavier, that doesn't change anything, this baby is yours.”I smirked coldly as I flashed her a scornful stare before speaking. “Mine? I'm sure you're going to have a lot of explanations to make when we get into the doctor's office and he announces the
