The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 49

I walked out from the bathroom where I was taking shower to pick up my phone which has been ringing for a while now.

Picking it up, I was surprised to see my dad's calling. It's been a while since I last talked or saw him. I wonder what's wrong with him? 

“Hey dad” I called slowly into the phone unsure of the kind of mood he might be in.

“ Deborah Melton? ” My dad screamed into the phone as I held the phone away from my ear, surprised, what could have made dad so worked up?.

“ Did you and Austin planned Nina's accident? ” Dad asked in a hushed voice, probably not wanting mom to hear about it.

“ I______didn't do____”

“ Why didn't you ask Austin to kill her off. Now she's awake” Dad said bitterly. I was shocked. Dad is in support of having Nina killed. Good job Deborah wait a minute, what did dad just say?

“ Nina's awake? How?” I asked my dad, shocked.

“ I don't know either, and I don't care about it. That's for you to worry about not me. We have bigger problems in our hands now?”

“ What problem dad?” I asked him as I walked to the wardrobe to get my outfit for today, planning to go see Austin as soon as I dropped dad's call.

“ Daniel just called me now that Michael is threatening to marry Nina secretly”

“ What ?“ I screamed as my hands froze on the red blouse in my hands” What do you mean by that? What about his baby?” I asked dad as I lovingly ran my hands through my tummy that has started to show. While making a mental note to go for checkup with my doctor.

“ That child which is not even Michael's. How could you do such a thing like that?. That's too risky Deborah. What if Michael finds out?”

“ He's not going to find out dad”, I told him, rolling my eyes at him. Something that I've been able to hide all this while,“ The only one who knew are me, you, Austin and my doctor. No one else”

“ Okay. That's alright. I will handle Michael's father while you handle Nina. Keep her away from Michael especially at the wedding. Do you understand? ”

“ Yes dad” I replied as he hung up the phone. I slumped heavily on the bed shocked and surprised. How did Dad find out that Michael is not the father of my baby. How can I underestimate my father? I really need to speak to Austin about this. And Michael, how dare him? How dare him threaten to marry that witch of the west secretly? I would never allow it. Michael is mine ”

I quickly got into my dark red trouser and white free top which Michael bought for me from one of his business meetings in Spain. I miss him when he was so loving and caring to me. He used to tell me things and hangs around with me. When did we fall apart? To the point that he can't stand the sight of me anymore.

“ Since when you started  planning to kill the one woman he loves with his life. Deborah, you are no longer in love with Michael. You are obsessed with him and I'm afraid your obsession has turned to hatred. You want to cause him pain?” My subconscious said to me angrily as I turned to look at her.

“ I love Michael. I love him with my life“ I screamed at her. How dare she tell me that I hate Michael. How can I hate Michael?

“No, you don't. The earlier you admit it the better”

“ Yes I do. I love him” I screamed with my hands on my head. How dare she tell me otherwise? ”

“ Miss Melton! Are you alright? ” John's voice brought me out of my thoughts as I turned to look at the door. I can't believe I say that out loud.

“ Yes. What do you want?” I shouted at him, as I picked my bag. I walked to the door and opened up.

I stood shocked, in front of the door stood John with three other huge men I've never met before 

“ What is the meaning of this, Mr. Henderson? ” I ask him, glaring at him.

“ I'm sorry, miss Melton but Mr. Thompson instructed me to get you out of the house before he arrive ”

“ What? Michael sent you to chase me out of his house. My baby father's house”

“ Yes, Miss Melton. I don't want to force you out considering your condition. I will like you to go back in, pack your bag and walk out gently,” John said as he stood to one end of the room motioning for me to get on. 

I rolled my eyes while I stood stubbornly with my hands folded across my chest “ In your dreams. I'm not leaving this house until Michael say otherwise”

“ Okay then. Boys, get on with your job” John said as the men all rushed into my room. They all deposited the dresses in my wardrobe into my bag as I screamed up at them. I ran up to stop them but they pushed me out of their sight.

I took out my phone to dial Michael's number. It rang thrice before it hung up. Why isn't he picking his calls? Did he really ask John to send me out of his house? Why? Is it because of Nina?

“ We are done with it, sir ” One of the men said to John, who stood up from where he sat at the entrance of my room. He walked around to inspect their hand work while I stood to one side with tears in my eyes but I refused to cry.

“ Good. Now, take those bags to her car and deposit it inside “ John said to them as they all picked up my bags and walked outside leaving John with me.

“ Miss Melton, that will  be all for now. I hope you have a safe trip back home” John turned around with a smile on his face. I guess he's excited to get rid of me.

“ Is she really leaving ?” I heard Emma asked John just as I descended the stairs with my car keys in my hands.
