The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 46

“Sir, Mr. John and Mr Don are here to see you” Aurora said into the intercom immediately I  picked it up.

“Send them in” I called harshly as I replaced the intercom with a clash. Though, I've been going to the office, I've avoided seeing anyone in the past days that Nina has been in the hospital.

After seeing Deborah with Austin in the hospital and Emma telling me that Deborah was happy about Nina's accident, I've been avoiding her.

Seeing her each day have been pure torture as I felt like strangling her for wishing dead upon my woman. “I hope you are innocent Deborah, because if you are not I will make sure you are put behind bars'' I mumble to myself just as the door opens and John walk in followed by Don 

“John! How are you?” I ask them, motioning them over to the chair across from me. They both sat down. 

“Any news?”

“Yes sir” John replied as he signal to Don to answer my question.

“Miss Thomas is awake sir” Donald replied.

“What?” Lillian's awake. How? When? ” I asked them, shocked.

Donald looked at me with a shocked expression on his face. “She woke up two days ago, I'm surprised you are not aware of it.”

John was also shocked as he stared at me“ Are you trying to tell me that Miss Thomas hasn't spoken with you?”

“Yes. I guess she's annoyed with me. Who would be?. I caused her friend's accident. Because of me”

“But we both know that was not your fault neither anyone else” John protested firmly as he tried to reason with me.

“Anyway. I don't hold anything against her. I mean I will have to talk to her later in the day but I will need the both of you to be extra vigilant.

“Yes sir” they both chorused.

“I can't believe that Deborah could do that to Nina. I know she hates her but_______” 

“Sir, Miss Melton is a lying bitch, I'm surprised you didn't know about her since. She's a scheming bastard” Don swore vehemently, getting annoyed. I don't blame him. His wife left him for another man leaving him to be hateful against all women.

“The more reason I need you both to be vigilant that's remind me, I need you to guard Nina's ward from today” I said pointing to Don. He nodded, smiling.

I'm not leaving anything to chance especially after having heard that she was stirring, well I don't want a repeat of what happened in the past.

“But sir, what should we do with all the evidence? I'm sure you can sue them to court?” John inquired sitting up on the chair as he smoothened out his dark navy blue shirt.

I smiled sadly at him “I wish it was that easy John. I don't want to make a wrong move”.

“Exactly boss. I agreed with you. If we should accuse Deborah of infidelity then we would never be able to bring Nina's killer to justice ” Don replied, his face darkening  dangerously with venom in his voice.

“That's right. We need to find the killer first before we could accuse Deborah of infidelity?

“Yes sir”

“That will be all for now, if you will excuse me I have some things to take care of ” I explained to them as they both nodded and walked out of my office .

I slumped heavily on the chair as my mind kept playing the words of Don” Miss Thomas is awake sir. ”

Why? Lillian why?. I know what I did was bad but you shouldn't have kept this away from me. Not even a call from Danny nor Andrea.

They’ve all abandoned me to my fate.

“Sir,Sir,!!” Aurora's panicked voice brought out my thoughts as I turned to glared at her“ What is it Aurora?” I questioned her with venom in my voice as I turned to look at her with disgust .

“ Emm! I_____Mr. Alexandro is here to see you” Aurora stuttered fearfully as she avoided my eyes .

“ I thought I told you I don't want to see anybody for now. What part of it do you not understand ?” I screamed at her .

“ I'm sorry sir” Aurora replied remorsefully as she turned to walk out of the door. She paused and turned to regard me slowly“ Sir , your phone has been ringing for ages. Won't you pick it up?” With that she let herself out of my office. I glared at her retreating back before turning to retrieve my phone from my back pocket.

I stood gasping at the phone in my hand. My heart beat escalated as I tried to calm myself down. “Hello”. I called breathlessly into the phone.

” Michael-Emm! Hi” Lillian's voice calls out through the other line. I sat shocked not expecting her to call me.

“ I'm sorry, I should have called you when I woke up but I was busy with the wedding preparations” She continued slowly , unsure of how I will respond.

“ I'm not annoyed. I'm glad that you are awake and okay. And I'm sorry about Nina”

“ No- No- don't say that. Nina's accident and mine was never your fault. Though, I'm annoyed with you that you couldn't fight for your love but I don't blame you for her accident ” Lilian said, as I heaved a sigh of relief. Thank God.
