Billionaire husband's pursuit for his wife novel Chapter 1

Nina woke to the silent hum of machines. Her head is pounding and her throat is dry and scratchy. Her long beautiful lashes blinked open to take in the strange room with white walls and ceiling. So many wires are attached to her hands. Her body feels sour too. Slowly she recalled what happened.

Her handsome and extremely rich husband Theodore Morrison, whom she loves more than herself asked her for a divorce.

Three days ago...

"Sign these divorce papers. I will compensate you well for this one year long marriage of ours" Theo's cold voice rang loudly in the other wise quite Morrison manor. His ice cold gaze only held anger and loathing for Nina. He never touched her in this one year. She tried everything to win him over, but in vain.

Nina gasped with shock. He rarely comes home. So when he did, Nina was so happy. But he destroyed her happiness with those cold indifferent words.

"Theo, what did I do to make you hate me so much? I always loved you with everything I have. Then why?" she asked pitifully.

Theo glared at her.

"You want me to remind you why I hate you? So be it. Do you still remember that you pushed my mom down the staircase and now she is in a coma? She used to love you so much. I married you because of her. But what did you do? You tried to kill her. That's not all, you targeted Chelsea again and again because she is my ex. I have never seen a more vicious and shameless woman like you. You threatened to kill yourself many times but never harmed yourself. All you ever know is to manipulate people and hurt others. I don't want to be associated with a woman like you. I sighed the divorce papers and I expect you to sign them by morning. Don't try to play tricks with me, Nina. I will never believe you" he said coldly before walking out of the Manor.

Nina collapsed on the ground crying her heart out. Their house keeper Rosa rushed to help Nina. Rosa was appointed by Theo's mother to take care of Nina. Rosa saw how much Nina tried to win Mr. Morrison. But he never even looked at her. He rarely comes home to sleep. But Rosa always took care of Nina who was very polite with her. Rosa can never accept that her mistress Nina can be as vicious as Mr. Morrison says that she is.

Rosa is in her early fifties. Her husband works as Theodore's personal driver.

"Mrs. Morrison, please let me take you to your room" Rosa tried to coax Nina. But the latter shook her head.

"How can I prove my innocence Rosa? I love Mom, why will I try to hurt her? I never tried to hurt Chelsea. But I don't know why Theo believes that I did. He is not ready to listen to me. What more can I do Rosa? When did I ever threaten him with suicide?" Nina cried with the pain of her heart breaking.

Rosa felt bad for Nina. But she couldn't do anything to help her mistress.
