The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 40

I stood up from the bed where I had been lazing all morning since  Michael had left for work. Looking around, I was as ecstatic as I was, the first night I slept over at  Michael's, even though while we dated I've never been to his villa but this pregnancy has brought me better than I could ever imagine.

I stroll out of the room which was adjacent to Michael's, I still don't understand why he doesn't want me in his room. I'm going to be his wife for crying out loud. I tried to open the door, but as usual it was locked.

Glaring, I walked away from the room and  descended the stairs as I went into the kitchen for my morning routine which consisted of eating breakfast and watching television. Being the fiance of a business tycoon, I don't have to work, which I'm glad of.

“Good morning, Miss Melton," Emma greeted me, she was bent over the cupboard searching for my  favorite tea cup.

“What's so good about this morning, Emma? How many times have I told you to refer to me as“ Madam" I lament bitterly as I angrily pour the remnant of the tea into the sink and go to sit in the living room ready to watch my movies. Among everyone in this household I distaste Mrs Henderson the more, she doesn't like me and I know but who cares, after all she's isn't Michael's Mom, so her opinion doesn't matter.

Taking the remote I turned on the television but was shocked. I raise the volume just in time to hear the newscaster said “An accident has just occurred in one of Miller's factories involving the model of lush beauty and former news journalist of Melton's media. Miss Nina Miller. She had been rushed to the hospital, her fans had gathered over praying for her quick recovery" The first newscaster  said just as I heard the breaking of plates in the kitchen. I turn to see Emma, sweating profusely with a shock on her face.

I smiled happily as I turned back to the television happy that my plan was successful“ Now let me see how you could recover from this Nina,“ I whispered to myself as I laughed, Emma watched me but I ignored her.

Emma rushed into her room and came out holding her phone,“ What do you think you doing " I screamed at her as her finger  hovered  on the keypad.

“ I_______think we should let Michael know about this" she explained with tears in her eyes. Oh! I hate her the most, she had never reacted this way to me before even when Michael woke her up in the night to make lemonade for me due to my belly pains, she had only gave me a scornful look now she's crying because of Nina.

“ Why should you be the one to call me? Huh. Are you his wife or his mother?" I questioned her angrily, giving her a scornful look.

“ No ma'am, I thought______"

“ Get out of my sight!" I screamed at her as she ran up to the stairs to her room. “ old fool, just wait, when I become Mrs Thompsons, I will make sure you are sacked from this household "

I stormed angrily back to where I was seated and tuned in just in time to hear the second reporter speak, he was from my dad's company.

“ Miss Miller was said to have gotten into her car driving to meet her friend who was standing at the other side of the road but Alas!, she couldn't make it as the car exploded into flames" He said as he took out an handkerchief to wipe his eyes, I roll my eyes at his antics and waited for him to continue.

“ Miss Lilian Thomas, childhood friend to Miss Miller who was heavily pregnant, was said to have fainted due to the shock, and she is currently receiving treatments. Process I've been made to contact her parents who are currently in Greece for a business trip. That's the news today at 8 am. Thank you"

I stood up humming to myself as I went into my room to shower. I have never been this happy in my entire life. I need to see Austin to give him a“ thank you sex".

After I had showered and dressed ready to go to Austin's, I decided to put a call through to Michael just to pretend, I don't trust Emma, who knows she might have called him behind my back.

The phone was ringing as I willed tears into my eyes, I need to act like I'm hurt for Michael to believe me.

“ Hello, love" Michael called cheerfully into the phone, I smile inwardly, that means that he still hasn't heard the news. Thank God, I thought that old fool might have gone behind my back to call him.

“ Michael, I____I'm very sad right now," I sniffled back tears as I clutched my chest dramatically crying into the phone.

“ What's wrong, Deborah? Is it the baby? Do you think it's time? Answer the damned question " Michael screams after waiting for several minutes without hearing from me.

I sniffles loudly into the phone “ I_______don't know how to say it, Michael"

“ Deborah, I'm busy, if you can't say what's happening to you then I'm going to hang up right now" Michael cold voice hissed into the phone as I shivered nervously, I've forgotten how dangerous he can be if things don't go his way.

” It's Nina, She_______"

Michael cut me off as he growled loudly into the phone impatiently" How many times do you want me to tell you that there's nothing going on between us. That picture you saw in the newspaper was photoshopped "

“ It's not that Michael, Nina was involved in an accident and she's dead" I said as I heard Michael gasp loudly into the phone. Though I exaggerated a bit but she is as good as dead anyway. Right?

“ What did you just say? Nina did what?” Michael asked as I could imagine him pacing around his office and running his hands through his hair.

“ I said Nina's dead" I repeatedly cried profusely into the phone" I know you won't believe me" sniffle" check my dad's channel, it's being broadcast there" Another sniffles as I felt the phone go dead in my hands.

I smiled as I took wipes from the dresser and wiped my face clean as I laughed oblivion to Emma who had watched the scene clearly from the beginning to the end.

Entering into my car, I pulled out of the driveway and drove toward the big gate. I tried to open the gate but was blocked by Mark, who was in the front of my car.

“ Are you Nut? Why are you blocking my car?” I shouted at him. I need to get married to Michael on time, so I could put all these men in their place. How dare he!!!
