The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 32

“Oh my God! Danny, you've got to see this” I exclaim from the sitting room. Danny rushes out of the room panicking as he came over to meet me. His brown hair fans his brows from the running.

“What is it? Are you hurt?” He runs his hands through my body searching for any signs of pain or discomfort.

“I'm good but this_____” I look over at him as I pointed to the television in front of me. He sat down as we both watch the live interview with Michael and Deborah.

“Deborah Melton is pregnant!! How?” Danny exclaims shocked with his hands folded across his chest.

“Obviously, from what we just heard and they will be having their wedding a month after ours” I stood up from the couch, pacing around the sitting room getting angry. I can't believe Nina had to go through all of this. Why can't she be happy in her life?

“Baby is alright. They will overcome this” Danny came over to where I stood near the window and wipe my tears while I swat his hand away and angrily wipe my eyes. Damn!, this pregnancy I'm always getting emotional unnecessary.

“What do you think we can do now?” I look at Danny who was watching me seriously with his arms folded across his chest as he leans on the wall.

“We can speak to Michael for a start,” Danny said as his brows twitch up, he steps away from the wall and came over to me “ I don't believe anything he said just now”.

“I hope you are right, wouldn't want to know what will happen to Nina now?

“Relax and stop worrying yourself, it's not good for the baby” Danny walk over and caress my cheek lightly

“Why wouldn't I worry, it's Nina we are talking about here and you know she is like a sister to me ” I swat his hand angrily away from my face and turn to walk into the room to change out my dress.

“Baby I understand and sorry for the way I reacted, it was uncalled for” Danny apologize as he came over to hug me from the back, resting his head on the hollow of my neck as he kissed it lightly “ I know Nina wouldn't want anything to happen to our baby, she is our baby godmother too ”.

I huff and step out of his hands to shower and change out of my dress as we both got ready to leave for Michael's office.

“Do you think we can stop Michael from getting married to Deborah?” I asked Danny as I turn to look at him, immediately he was seated beside me in the car fastening his seatbelt.

“Lilian” He sighs heavily as he turns to stare at me, his hand reaching out to caress my cheek lightly “ Michael is a grown man, we can't force him to do what he doesn't want to do” he pulls out of the driveway onto the route that leads to Michael's office “we can at least try and talk to him ”

“But, we all know that they both love each other ” I protested back, tired of this game they were playing. Why is Mr. and Mrs. Thompson so adamant about Michael getting married to Deborah Melton.

“Exactly, we just have to talk to him. It is left to him to decide for himself ” Danny said firmly leaving no space for argument.

I sigh heavily as I rested my head on the chair, closing my eyes, I don't want to imagine what Nina is going through right now, she will be so devastated.

“We are here” Danny taps me lightly on my shoulder as I open my eyes and look around surprised to see that we are in the parking lot of the Thompson's Empire.

Danny walks out of the car to open the door for me, I step out as he closes the door and turns to wrap his hands around my back guiding me slowly into the lift that will take us to Michael's office.

Stepping out of the elevator, I was surprised to see Aurora pacing around her office nervously, sweats etched her brows as she raises her hand to dab at them.

I look at her curiously “What could have happened to make Aurora so on edge?” I ask Danny looking at him briefly before my eye went back to Aurora who was oblivion to us. That's weird

“I wonder too,” Danny said, furrows his brows with a hand on his chin thinking“ Let's ask her”

Danny guide me to Aurora, immediately she saw us she visibly relax and she ran up to us

I'm so glad you came. I don't know who to call I was so scared?" She blabbers on, her hands shaking as she clasps my hands tightly.

“Why? Aurora," I said trying to calm down but my voice betray the fear in me " what happened?”  I try again, this time I was a bit calm.

"Sir's parents were here. He was so angry a while ago and sent his parents out of his office" Aurora said as I heave a sigh of relief.

"Is that all?" I ask her, getting ready to go into Michael's office.

"Yes," She replied looking at me curiously when once saw that I was smiling.

"That's good news” Both Danny and Aurora look at me curiously like I've grown two heads

"How is that good news?" Danny asked me as he crossed his arms tightly across his chest watching me.

"Well, if Michael was annoyed with his parents that means he still feels something for Nina. With that, we could convince him to stop this ridiculous idea of marrying Deborah"

"I hope you are right, Lily," Danny said as he looks at me frowning" let's go inside then" We walk to Michael's office door and walk in, we didn't even bother with knocking.
