The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 57

“Deborah! Deborah!! ”

I stood up from the bed grumbling under my breath. Why will dad be waking me up so early in the morning!. Oh! I hate this! I wish I was at Michael's place where everyone treats me like a queen.

The door opened and closed as dad ventured into my room with his hands in his pocket. I stood up and walked to go meet him in the sitting room where he was seated on a couch.

“ Good morning Dad! “ I greeted him as I pulled my bathrobe closer to cover my protruding stomach.....

“ How are you?” Dad answered as he crossed his legs together before turning to look at me seriously “ Have you heard from Michael? ”

I shake my head “ No, dad. I haven't seen or talked to him after the scene at his office the other day but I will be going over to his mom's place today” I answered as my dad nodded.

“ That's good but I need you to get closer to him and do anything. I don't know, I've been hearing rumours that he has been meeting up with Nina for the past few days now” Dad replied causing my face to hardened in anger as I clenched my fists together.

Why can't that witch leave me alone. She is just so stubborn , I hate her so much and to think that I once considered her my friend.....

“ Deborah are you listening to me?” Dad asked me as I broke out of my thoughts to listen to him......

“ Yes dad. I'm sorry , I was preoccupied with something ” I replied smiling apologetically at him.....

“It's okay. Let me leave you to get dressed, breakfast will be ready before you leave for your scan, okay?”

Dad said , as he stood up to leave the room. I nodded as I smiled at him. I'm so thankful for giving me such a Dad like him. He's so supportive of me unlike Mom.

Though she isn't my real mother. I still need to ask Dad what happened to my real mother? Now I need to bathe and get dressed.....

I walk into the bathroom to brush my teeth and shower. I paused as I suddenly remembered that I needed to see Austin today to tell him about Nina.

I walked down to the dining where mom and Dad were seated conversing lightly. “ Good morning Mom!” I greeted her as she responded with a nod barely glancing at me.

I hate her so much. I wish dad never had to marry her, all through the years, we never barely got along. We barely sit down and exchange a two words sentence together.

She always made sure that we didn't have to be together in a room. That's why I want to be a good mother for my baby.....

“ Deborah, have your seat and eat breakfast ” Dad called out to me as I turned to smile at him.

“ I'm sorry dad. I would have to skip breakfast as I'm already late. I still need to stop by Thomson's Manson to inform Michael's mom” I told him, already turning on my heels.

I dreaded eating breakfast with that woman. She is the second person I hated most apart from Nina. And I will make sure to remove each and everyone who causes me pain away from my life.

“ Really. Are you sure you will be okay?” Dad asked, his voice laced with concern.

“ I'm ______”

“ Let her be. I'm sure she is not going to die over a meal or something ” mom beat me to it, rolling her eyes at my dad.

I thought we'd talked about this, Megan. You need to be kinder and nicer to Deborah. This is a time where you ought to be close with her” Dad scolded mom causing her face to harden as she clenched her spoon tightly, her knuckles turning whiter....

“ Robert , what are you insinuating? That I don't take care of Deborah enough or are you saying that I'm maltreating her because she is not my daughter” Mom stood up as she dropped the fork angrily on the table. She glared at me before turning on her heels.

I sighed heavily as I turned to walk out of the door. I hate my family. Why can't they be like Michael's or Nina or even Lillian's. I saw the way her Mom was fusing over her on the wedding day and I was so jealous. I don't have anyone. I feel so lonely. Only Michael has been there for me, I won't allow Nina to take that away from me.....

I walked outside to my car, entered it, I put the key into the ignition and pulled out the driveway as I drove over to Michael's parents house praying in my heart that Diana accept to come with me in order to make my plan work....

Mr and Mrs Thomson were at the breakfast table when Maria showed me in.

Diana stood up to welcome me with a smile on her face “ Deborah. You shouldn't have driven all the way here with your condition. You could have called me and I would have sent the driver to come pick you” Diana said, scolding me gently with a smile on her face. I like the love she showed me. Why can't I be born into a family like this by getting married to Michael....

“ I'm sorry Diana but I wanted to ask you something, that's why I'm here ” I told her, smiling at her as I hugged her....

“ Really, okay ” she replied as she ushered me to the dining room. I greeted Mr. Thomson who nodded in response....

“You haven't had breakfast right? ” Diana said as she dished my food onto a clean plate without waiting for my response and handed it to me.

I collected it from her with a smile on my face as I dug into it, eating happily since it was delicious “ So, what did you want to ask me?” Diana said as she smiled at me when she saw that I was enjoying the food....

“I'm going to the hospital to check my baby's sex. I was wondering if you would love to go with me?” I asked her, pausing to listen to her response while praying in my heart that she would accept..

Diana's face lights up as she smiles from excitement“ Really ? Wow! I would really love to” wait let me go change my clothes. Okay?” She stood up and ran up the stairs gigging like a school child......
