Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue novel Chapter 1

Nancy Jones walked and walked without having any destination in mind. She was fed up with Life.

How could Rodney do this to her? She must have been a fool to believe him.

Her mother had always called her a slow wit. So, maybe that was what she was. If she weren't how could she have fallen for his tricks and lies?

It doesn't matter now, there was nothing she could do. She just had to think of a way forward or take the easy way out.

She was out of job and didn't really have a roof over her head.

The slum where she had got a cheap accommodation was rat infested and the walls got soaked up easily.

She had no bed of her own. She had had to sell a lot of her things just to get enough money to move out of the town.

It reminded her of a lot of things that she would rather forget.

She didn't know what she would do, how to get the next meal but with her education at College, she had tried to get a job as someone's secretary or receptionist or any type of job for that matter that would help her fend for herself rather than depend on anyone because she was tired of being dependant but her efforts had been fruitless.

Now she just didn't know if she could go on with life or not.

With the heavy and big cardigan she had on her blue jean, she looked like someone who didn't have a care in the world but that was because she had grown used to hiding her feelings behind a mask of indifference.

The world had been cruel to her and she knew that exposing her feelings would only make her more vulnerable than she already was and she would not want any one to laugh at her or look at her with pity or scorn.

So she hid her feelings deep inside of her.Rather than beg or receive charity, she was ready to give up and take her own life.

Afterall, everyone seem to have abandoned her.

Her mother never thought that she could amount to anything. Her father who had always supported her and been by her side was not strong willed enough to go against his wife for long for his beloved daughter.

It had been a wonder that they had agreed to send her to college and to prove a point, she had excelled in her studies but what was the use of that in her present condition?

Maybe her mother was right afterall and she was not worthy of anyone and could never do anything right.

Rodney who she had loved and felt she had someone to call her own also turned out not to want her. He had been deceiving her all along and she had been too much of a fool, too much in love to had realised it.

There had been signs of course which she had chosen to ignore.
