The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 39

As soon as Michael walked out of the door, I let myself cry as I sobbed uncontrollably, the only man I'd ever loved. I opened the door and ran after him but he has already left, his car was not in the driveway either” 

“God! Why me?. Why does this have to happen to me” I sobbed into my hands as I kneel down on the front porch.

My subconscious was getting teary too, as she wipe her face with her handkerchief“ Nina, don't cry, it's for the best" she said trying to console me as I sobbed.

I stood up from the porch and walked into the house, closing the door gently. Turning back I was surprised to see Shane in the sitting room, watching me intently.

“What are you doing here?" I ask him as I wipe my eyes, rid of the tears while I turn to walk into the dining room.

“To eat?" He replied shrugging as he sat down opposite me and took his spoon as he began to eat.

After talking a spoonful of food into my mouth, I turned to look at Shane" How was school today?" I ask him. 

He shrugs, his eyes on his tablets “It was fun and like usual stressful "

“That's normal, hope Mr. Clinton was on time to pick you from school?"

“Yes, I got back home just in time to meet Michael ".

I went back to eat just after he said that name. I don't even want to imagine what he is doing right now. Is he back home now with Deborah? “Maybe he's taking Deborah on a date" My subconscious said as I rolled my eyes at her. Sometimes she's caring and understanding, sometimes she is like an evil stepmother.

“Sis, the phone?” Shane's voice brought me out of my thoughts as I turned to watch him as he repeated what he just said. I stood up to go pick the land phone which has been ringing for ages, since I was out of this world.

“Hello!" I called into the phone as soon as I picked it up.

“Hi! Ina, How are you?" Mom's voice greeted me as tears pooled up into my eyes.

I can't believe that I miss her so much. I wish she was here with me right now" I'm good, how are you too?"

“I'm okay and your dad's good too" She answers back laughing excitedly.

“How's Greece? Hope you are enjoying yourself? Shane's fine. Yes mom"

“That's great to hear and Greece is good. One of  these days we'll all come over here for a vacation " Mom said smiling happily. I could see she's really enjoying herself.

“I would love that too mom” I replied as I forced the lump of tears away from my throat.

“That's good then, talk to your dad, I'm sure he's dying to hear about his company" Mom said taunting dad as I smiled at them.

“Hello my angel" Dad called into the phone after he had spent time teasing mom“ How are you?"

“I'm good dad, and yes before you ask,we got the contract "I said happily into the phone.

“Really? Wow!, that's great. I know you will be able to do it" He said proudly as he praises me on the phone.

“Dad! Stop flattering me, I didn't do anything. You've done most of the designing, I only just blend it” I reply shrugging because my dad just won't stop complimenting me.

“Whatever, when will the production start?” Dad asked, as he switched into his professional voice.

“ It's to start immediately but I'm still waiting for the appraisal from his lawyer"

“That's good, I'm sure everything will be ready by tomorrow. Do you have enough material for the production? "

“I don't know yet, but I will make sure to stop by at the factory tomorrow to check it after the office"

“Do that dear and make sure to have enough rest since you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow and extend my greeting to Shane.

“Yes dad, I will do that. Do take care of yourself too and mom”

“Bye" Dad said before he hung up. I replaced the phone back at its place and went back to the dining. Haven't lost my appetite, I ask Linda to clear the table while I sent Shane up to his room as I went to mine to shower and retire early to bed since I have a long day at work tomorrow.

***

“Shane get down here before I come up there to smack you" I stood at the bottom of the stairs with both of my hands on my waist shouting up at Shane.

Why must I be shouting, before he could come down for breakfast? I can't wait for mom to arrive so I could go back to my house.

“There will be no need for that" Shane's voice brought me out of my thoughts as I turn to glare at him.

“You should be happy that I'm in a good mood right now, if not_____“ I let myself stop there as I look at him. I could see different ideas running through his head on the things I could do to him.

I smile, as I took a slice of bread apply butter to it and eat it along with my tea while Shane took out milk and pour it on his coco pops rushing it, as we were both late thanks to him.
