The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 52

As Mark pulled away from the airport, I couldn't help but took another glance at Nina. She was seated in between the two guards with her eyes closed. I missed her so much, I would really like to have her on my bed in my arms but I need to wrap up this private investigation with Deborah and Austin before I could afford myself the luxury of being with Nina again. I can't risk her life the second time.

“ Home or the office sir?” Mark's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned to look at him from the little door that separated me from him “ Office. There isn't anything for me to do at home ” I told him as he nodded and took the route to the office.

“ Where's John?” I asked Mark after remembering telling him to call him.

“ He's in the office sir” Mark replied as I nodded. With Lillian and Danny out of the country. I had to employ the help of both Donald and John to help with the investigation. I want to get this out of the way soon.

Mark pulled over at the company's parking space. I was surprised to see reporters gathered. I looked at Mark who was watching me with the same curiosity on his face.

I stayed seated in the car as I picked up my phone to call Aurora but Andrea's call got instead.

I picked it up immediately. “ Hello Andrea ” I called into the phone as my eyes scanned the reporters who were running to meet me as soon as they spotted my car in the parking space. Mark quickly locks us in, causing them to pound on the door relentlessly.

“ Michael” Andrea called with a frantic voice “ Did you see the news this morning?” He asked me.

“ No. I was at the airport with Lilian and Danny, why?” I asked him surprise, just what was on the news that I missed.

“ Mr. Melton has told the press that he wants you to sign a prenup and apparently your parents have agreed to it?” Andrea replied as he swore under his breath.

“ What?” I screamed shocked. A prenup? Why ? “ Thank you for informing me Andrea. I have to go now, I will talk to you later” I told Andrea and hung up just as I saw John coming over with Aurora and two security guards.

They cleared the space as I stepped out of the car. I handed Aurora my briefcase and followed them into the elevator. Safety in the elevator, only then could I relaxed and turn to glare at Aurora and John

“ What is this issue of prenup that none of you could inform me? and what are the reporters doing in my company? ” I asked them with venom in my voice. Aurora cowardly in front of me but John answered.

“ I'm sorry sir, we were not aware of it until recently when your parents and the Meltons arrived” John replied as we both stepped out of the elevator into the hallway that leads to my office.

“ My parents and the Meltons are here?” I asked him, shocked as I opened the door into my office. John followed me in but Aurora stayed back in hers after handing my briefcase over to John. I'm sure she's excited not to be at the receiving end of my anger.

“ Yes sir. They are both in the conference room” John replied. He sat down opposite me after dropping my briefcase on my table.

I paced around my table, just what is Deborah and her parents planning? A prenuptial agreement? What has this got to do with my marriage to Deborah? “ Boss, I______” John stopped when he saw my face thinned, anger laced my stride.

“ Go on ” I motioned him to speak as I sat in front of him.

“ Yes sir. I think Mr. Melton is aware of what is going on?” John replied as I nodded at him

“ I was thinking the same. I mean, how then will he come up with a prenup? I stand to lose a lot if I don't get married to Deborah. And if I did get married to her, I won't even think of divorcing her because she will acquire all of my wealth. Wow!!! Mr. Melton. Bravo” I said with so much scorn. I felt ridiculed. How dare him?.

“ What should we do sir? This is so bad” John replied as I stared across from him. “ let's go to the conference room and get this over and done with”. Two can played this game. I'm not a business tycoon for nothing.

I walked with a new found confidence down the hallway into the conference room with John behind me. Immediately I opened the door, Deborah was crying as my mom was comforting her. She glared at me as soon as I walked into the room.

“ Michael, how dare you treat a woman this way?” Mom screamed up at me “ I've always taught you to respect women. How can you treat your fiance this way?” She continued, her brows perch with annoyance.

I ignored her as I sat down at the head of the table. The Melton's was to the left while my parents were on my right “ What's going on Dad?” I asked him, my voice dripping with venom as I clenched my phone tightly from anger.

“ Michael , how can you send my daughter out of your house. Knowing the kind of condition she is? What if something had happened to her?” Mr. Melton replied, thumping his hands on the desk, equally annoyed. His wife bowed her head swiftly ignoring whatever that was going on...

“ I don't trust my daughter with you anymore. What if you get married to her and start maltreating her? No. Never. You need to sign the prenup” He continued looking over to my dad who nodded for him to continue...

“ This prenup isn't for anything but to protect my daughter and my properties. After signing the prenup. I can leave my daughter with you knowing that she will be safe in your hands but now never” Mr. Melton said and sat down as he held Deborah close to him and pet her to calm down.

I rolled my eyes at her fake tears. How can someone be so wicked? Without any remorseful of her actions “ what about my properties? ”

Dad was silently watching us without saying anything his hands were folded across his chest.

“ Then this wedding will be cancelled”. Mr. Melton screamed at me. “ But you will have to take responsibility for the child in her, after all it's yours.
