The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter 26: Deborah



Chapter 26: Deborah

I walk slowly into the washroom, a bit happy and sad. Happy because my first plan is successful which

is getting Michael's mom on my side.

Sad because Nina looks so beautiful smiling into the camera as a lush beauty model. I can't come to

terms with myself that she is more beautiful than I am. She has taken everything from me, first Michael,

my social media space, and now my modeling job. I will take everything she loves from her starting with

Michael.

I crushed the picture I tore out of the washroom door angrily in my hands just as I heard a knock on the

door.

"Miss Melton! Are you in there?" A voice call from outside, I relax my facial expression as I threw the

picture into the trash can and went to open the door.

"I'm sorry to disturb you but Mr.Thompson asks me to come to call you," She said rushly scared of my

face.

"It's ok. Thank you" I said smiling at her as I walk out of the washroom carrying my bag in my hands.

"I'm sorry, I keep you waiting," I said to Michael immediately I sat down in the car and turn to fasten my

seat belt.

Michael didn't even acknowledge my greeting, he pulls the car out of the driveway and took the route to

my favorite boutique where I do all my shopping. I smile to myself, glad that he still remembers.

If not for that Nina, we would have been married by now. My face hardens as I scream in my head. I

don't know why I hate her so much.

I immediately relax when I remember my second plan. We are going to get married soon and fast "Why

are you smiling?”Michael suddenly said as he looks at me surprised, I turn to him shocked, I thought he

wasn't going to talk to me all through the ride.

"Nothing" I reply shrugging as I turn to look at the window. There's no need for me telling him when he's

going to find out soon.

I smile excitedly, I can't wait to see his reaction when he saw the gift that I had prepared for him. It took

me two nights of hot sex before Austin could finally agree to my plans. I turn to see Michel's eyes on

me, he was looking so intently at me frowning slightly immediately he parked the car, I walk out without

waiting for him.

I have lots of shopping to do as I walk into the store, I search my bag for the list of stuff that I need to

get.

Firstly, I need to shop for maternity wears, yes I'm fucking pregnant you need to see how scared I was

when I find out.

The doctor's voice wouldn't just stop echoing in my head for three days "congratulations, Miss Melton

you are two weeks pregnant” I know you are wondering who owns it, well, it's Austin but that's between

me and you to the rest of the word it's Michael's. OK.

And I'm not planning to tell him any time soon, being the smart guy he is, he's going to find evidence to

prove that he's not the father of my unborn baby.

That's why I'm going to use his parents and in that way, I will kill two beds with one stone.

"Are you going to shop? or you are going to spend all day staring at that paper in your hands" Michael's

deep voice brought me out of my thought as I quickly hide the paper in my bag and turn smile at him

"Sorry I didn't know you were here. I was waiting for you". I walk up to the sales lady who was smiling

at us.

"Welcome, Mr.Thompson and Miss Melton. It so nice to see you again" she said smiling excitedly at

us"What do you want to buy?"

"I need free wear, "I said looking at her, she smiles as she guards me to the section of free wears.

Michael stares at me as I avoided his eyes. He's probably shocked right now wondering what in

heaven's name is wrong with me.

I pick the first dress off the shelve, It was an orange off shoulder short gown tight at the burst and free

downward. I so much love this, sexy yet able to hide my soon to see pregnancy stomach.

I'm so thankful that I inherit my tiny stomach from my mom, I wouldn't know what to do if it should start

showing now " I like this" I said smiling to the lady in front of me"Can I get more like this?”

"Yes, there are a lot of that in different colors, let me go get it for you. Please have a seat" she said and

turn to leave after offering Michael and me a seat.

"Who owns the clothe you are buying today"?Michael asks immediately after we were seated.

" Mine of course" I replied smiling as I avoided his eyes. That what you get for being used to be doing

one thing, when you suddenly changed everyone questions you.

"But you don't normally wear this," he said pointing to the gown in my hands. It's not my fault that I

prefer tight fitting cloth to free wears, If not for the fact that I'm pregnant, I wouldn't even dream of

wearing it. Even right now, I'm dreading how to wearing this free in my hands.

The sale lady's entrance saves me from answering the ridiculous question, Michael asks as I smile

excitedly at her when I saw the clothes in her hands. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

" Wow", these are lovely", I smile happily at her. I'm so happy right now, all the clothes in her hands

were sexy but free, and there was a jumpsuit, gown trousers, and all of those.

I always thought maternity wears have to but ugly looking but these were Woah!!! "If you are through

buying, I need to get home now," Michael said getting irritated.

"Yes, I'm through"I turn to the sales lady smiling at her" Please wrap all of these for me"She collected

them and walk to the receptionist to put them in a bag.

"How do you want to pay" The receptionist ask us when we got to her. Michael handed her his black

card wordlessly as she rang up the sale and return it to him smiling“ Thank you for your patronage sir”.

He picks up the bags into the car as I followed behind him closely. He deposited it into the bag of the

car and walk into the driver seat to pull out of the driveway.

I'm so thankful that I got to spend the day with him, If only Nina was not here, this child would have

probably been his but that stupid woman took him all to herself. And to think that I once thought of her

as my friend. If only I knew, I would have allowed Austin to have her killed when she was still a nobody

now everyone knows who she is…

Michael drop me off at my home and pull out of my driveway without a backward glance. I took the

bags into my apartment and lock up then walk into my car to drive to Austin's place. Ever since he

found out that I was pregnant, he has become very fond of me.

I maneuver the car into the parking lot and off the engine. Resting my head on the steering I breathe in

and out. I don't know what I've gotten myself into.

The banging of the glass window brought me out of my thought as I lift my head to see Austin looking

at me with concern on his face.

I opened the door and walk out, he came to me and hug me to himself"How are you?”

"I'm good" I replied smiling at him as we both walk into the house.

"So tell me, how was shopping?"He asked immediately I sat down on the couch.

"It was OK" I reply as I took the glass of water he offered to me and drink from it.

Remembering Nina's photo on the Lush beauty, anger overpowers me as I threw the glass on the wall

breaking it into pieces.

Austin looks at me shocked "Are you alright?"He asked looking at me, perplexed.

" Yes. I just don't want to see Nina again, she disgusts me" I replied angrily. I hate that she and Michael

have to meet. Why couldn't he just fall in love with me?. Can't he see that we are made for each other?.

“But I thought we've talked about this, you don't have to feel this way. Let's give it some time then we

take the plan to the next level" He said trying to reassure me as he reaches out to hold my hands

rubbing small circles in them to soothe me.

Sometimes, I feel guilty for using him like this, I can never love him as I do to Michael, but he will do

just for my plans to succeed

"Ok. I will try to pretend to like her for now, but I can't promise you anything else" I said to him as I

breathe in and out trying to calm my beating heart down.

"That ok with me. Just until Xavier arrived from France” He replied as he stood up to go to the kitchen"

What would you like to eat?" He asks me looking at me seriously.

I wanted to refuse, right now just thinking about Nina's pictures on Lush beauty has taken away my

appetite but looking at his serious expression, I couldn't help but shiver from his intense gaze"Anything

you have"I reply as I gulp nervously immediately, Austin left for the kitchen I took out my phone to put a

call through to my dad.

Ever since the incident of Austin's interview, I have been avoiding him. I know that he knew that I was

the one who set the question but he chose to cover up for me. That's why I love him.

"Hello, Dad" I call into the phone, as soon as the call is connected.

"Deborah Melton!" My dad shouted into the phone, I could hear my mom's voice in the background

trying to calm him down.

"Where have you been?" He as after he has tried to calm his temper

"I've been around dad, I'm sorry that I couldn't come to check on you guys"I reply, as I forced back

tears that have threatened to fall. My life has become perfect before Nina walks into my life, I will make

her pay for reducing me to nothing.

"What's going on? Why are you no longer a lush beauty model?" Dad asked me, I guess he's

surprised "Are you and Michael fighting? Do you need me to speak with him?" I heard the urgency in

his voice, I never want to worry my parents but Nina caused this and she will pay.

"None of that dad. We are good"I reply smiling, leave to my dad to worry about me "I need to see you

for something tomorrow, so expect me at your office by tomorrow"

"Ok. As long as you are sure there's nothing then that okay with me. Talk to you mom" He said as he

passes the phone to my mom to speak with me.

“Mom, how are you?” I called into the phone in tears. Damn these stupid pregnancy hormones always

coming out when I least expect them.

“Deborah, are you okay?. I heard about Lush beauty, I know how much you always love modeling for

Lush ” Mom said as she tries to pet me.

“I'm good mom, and there's nothing to worry about, I left Lush beauty I will find another firm” I reply as I

listen to her lectures on how to eat right and blah blah before she hangs up.

"Moncherie!! The food is ready" Austin's loud voice called out to me from the kitchen. I walk slowly

down to the dining and sat down to eat what he has prepared for me.

"Who were you talking to on the phone? Was it Michael?"He asked after I had eaten a spoonful of rice.

I glimpse the jealous tone in his voice as I choose to ignore it.

"Don't be ridiculous Austin!, Why will I talk to Michael? You know I don't love him anymore"I lied as I

avoided his eyes. Have always been told that you could know when I'm lying by looking into my eyes. I

didn't say that my dad did.

Truth is, I still love Michael Thompson so much that's why planning this revenge. I want to Nina suffer

without Michael

“I was talking to my dad, It's time to set up the second phase of the plan" I reply as I eat my food.

Austin smiled happily with my choice of words as he guides me to the room to retire for the night.
