Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 2

After wondering around the city for who knows how Iong, | finally mustered up the courage to go back to the house | once considered my home forever. The home that | shared so eagerly with my soon- to- be ex-husband.

The car that carried me to the place | would soon depart from was one assigned for my own personal use by Dante. Jeffrey, my assigned chauffer, knew that something was horribly wrong but he never dared to ask. Aside from small glances through his rear- view mirror, he merely focused on the road and wordlessly carried us back to the house so | could retrieve my things.

My head rested against the cool leather seat as | replayed the scene of this morning over and over in my head. | still couldn't believe that this was happening. That Dante would do such a thing after all that we had shared as a married couple. Of course, we were not married under normal circumstances but we had shared more than stranger would dare to share. Dante loved to blame me for the scandal that lead to our marriage but | had nothing to do with it.

Apain pierced my chest as | willed myself to make peace with all that was happening but | couldn't. | loved Dante more than anything in the world and just this morning | couldn't stop envisioning the life that we were about to have with the blessing of a child coming our way but it was a life | would have to live alone.

The car approached the large black gates and the warm feeling of home no longer lingered. Jeffrey steered us down the open gates and on to the paved driveway until we came to a complete halt in front of the large mansion. | undid my seat belt while Jeffrey held the door open for me and just as | stepped out and squinted my eyes from the onslaught of the sun above, my eyes focussed on the mess that was in front of me.

There stood Pheobe at the open entrance of the house with an array of my possessions. in her grasp. One hand held the items whilst her other hand grabbed greedily at the pile before launching it out and over the front steps.

Anger bubbled within me at the audacity and sheer bitterness of this woman. She had Dante. She had won. Couldn't she see it? There was no need for her to humiliate me any further yet here she was.

“Ah, if it isn’t the star of

“It would have been better if | hadn’t seen your face at all.” | retorted but she grinned gleefully at my reaction,

felt even more humiliated than | already had been.

My legs moved through the sea of my things on the lawn which | didn’t care to gather just yet. When | approached the doorway, Pheobe blocked my path.

“Where do you think you're going?” She raised a brow at me like she was the owner of

this house.

| glared at her resisting the urge to scratch her face with my slightly long nails. “To gather my things and leave so | do not have to suffer another day or seeing your face.” The words squeezed themselves through clenched teeth and her nostril twitched.

“That won't be necessary, dear sister.” She said in a sweet fake tone when | knew she took me as anything but. After all, we were only step- sisters. “I already took the liberty of leaving all your things at your feet.” She motioned to my thrown out clothes. “Get out of my way right now, Pheobe.” My voice rose as octave but her face had grown determined.

“The place that you remember no longer exists. This house is now for Dante and | to share and celebrate our endless love. It was always me that he loved. It was and always will be me. You were just dumb enough to believe otherwise. Dante loves me more than anything in the world. It the very reason he is able to toss you out so easily. He would do anything for me.” She gloated and | hated hearing it.

It was like stingy, course salt being pressed and rubbed against my open wounds. It burned, stung, and outright wanted to make me scream in pain.

| swallowed the lump that had been forming on my throat before bringing my attention back to the she- devil that stood in front of me.

“That sounds like you're trying to convince yourself more than me.” | mocked and chuckled enjoying the look that overcame her expression.

“You bit ch. Do you think-” Her words caught at the back of her throat when her devious orbs lowered to my hand.

Sh it.

| quickly tried to hide the pregnancy report but it was too late because she had already

seen it.

“What do we have here?” | stepped away but her hand had already grasp the papers. before she yanked it out of my hold.

“It is nothing that concerns you.” | reached for the papers but she moved away enough for her to read the report.

Pheobe’s cyes had widened the size of saucers before she looked at me over the edge of the report. A whirlwind of emotions crossed her face but her eyes were filled with fury and jealousy.

“It is a good thing that Dante is divorcing you so he wouldn’t have to father the child of another.” She said but her words were weak.

“It is Dante’s child, Pheobe. Just because you refuse to except it-”

“It means nothing. Your child will be born a b astar d.” She yelled and | could no longer contain my anger.

As if on its own accord, my hand raised in the air before launching at her until | slapped her. Pheobe yelped but she overcame the shock of what had just happened faster than | expected. A loud growl left her throat before Pheobe pushed me with force too stron for me to recover from.

Ascream escaped my I*ps and my hand reached out to grab on to something, anything, but it was too late. My b*dy tumbled down the steps until | landed on the hard paving with my head hitting the ground first.

Pain shot through my entire b*dy as | tried to regain the air knocked out of me but my head felt like a bounder had just descended upon it. | reached up weakly to cradle my head when but | felt something warm and wet sI*p down the side of my face. The smell of metal had me scrunching my nose telling me that | was bleeding and there was a lot

| tried to move, to get back on to my feet, but my entire b*dy was numb and motionless, refusing to cooperate with me at all. “Take this as a warning!” Pheobe muttered in a chilling tone. She was now hovering over me, her eyes laden with hatred. “If you ever show your face here again you will meet even worse consequences.” She warned and just when | thought she took a step away from my limp b*dy to leave, she did something far worse than | could ever imagine.

“Ugh!” Pheobe grunted in her rage. | watched in horror as she pulled her pointed heeled covered foot back before launching it forcefully right in my stomach.

| screamed as the pain shot through my abdomen and | cried out as a thousand thoughts raced through my mind. My hand reached to cradle my stomach but it felt like | was paralyzed.

“| want you to remember this moment. Never forget how weak and at my mercy you are.” She crouched down and | flinched but her hand already balled up tightly in hair.

“Pheobe, p- please.” | begged not wanting any further harm to be caused to the life within me.

“Just because you're pregnant doesn’t mean Dante will change his mind. He loves me more than you can even imagine. He doesn’t care about what happens to you or your little ba st ard.” She whispered bitterly through tightly clenched teeth.

She threw me a final scathing look as | lay whimpering in pain before she swung around with a huff. Her heels clinked against the paving as she sauntered back into the house.

| opened mouth to call for help but no sound came out. Suddenly, a wave of cold washed through my b*dy and before | knew it, my vision got blurry until | could not longer keep it open.

The last thing | remember was everything turned black before I, too, succumbed to the darkness.
