The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter 40: Deborah

I stood up from the bed where I had been lazing all morning since Michael had left for work. Looking

around, I was as ecstatic as I was, the first night I slept over at Michael's, even though while we dated

I've never been to his villa but this pregnancy has brought me better than I could ever imagine.

I stroll out of the room which was adjacent to Michael's, I still don't understand why he doesn't want me

in his room. I'm going to be his wife for crying out loud. I tried to open the door, but as usual it was All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

locked.

Glaring, I walked away from the room and descended the stairs as I went into the kitchen for my

morning routine which consisted of eating breakfast and watching television. Being the fiance of a

business tycoon, I don't have to work, which I'm glad of.

“Good morning, Miss Melton," Emma greeted me, she was bent over the cupboard searching for my

favorite tea cup.

“What's so good about this morning, Emma? How many times have I told you to refer to me as“

Madam" I lament bitterly as I angrily pour the remnant of the tea into the sink and go to sit in the living

room ready to watch my movies. Among everyone in this household I distaste Mrs Henderson the

more, she doesn't like me and I know but who cares, after all she's isn't Michael's Mom, so her opinion

doesn't matter.

Taking the remote I turned on the television but was shocked. I raise the volume just in time to hear the

newscaster said “An accident has just occurred in one of Miller's factories involving the model of lush

beauty and former news journalist of Melton's media. Miss Nina Miller. She had been rushed to the

hospital, her fans had gathered over praying for her quick recovery" The first newscaster said just as I

heard the breaking of plates in the kitchen. I turn to see Emma, sweating profusely with a shock on her

face.

I smiled happily as I turned back to the television happy that my plan was successful“ Now let me see

how you could recover from this Nina,“ I whispered to myself as I laughed, Emma watched me but I

ignored her.

Emma rushed into her room and came out holding her phone,“ What do you think you doing " I

screamed at her as her finger hovered on the keypad.

“ I_______think we should let Michael know about this" she explained with tears in her eyes. Oh! I hate

her the most, she had never reacted this way to me before even when Michael woke her up in the night

to make lemonade for me due to my belly pains, she had only gave me a scornful look now she's

crying because of Nina.

“ Why should you be the one to call me? Huh. Are you his wife or his mother?" I questioned her angrily,

giving her a scornful look.

“ No ma'am, I thought______"

“ Get out of my sight!" I screamed at her as she ran up to the stairs to her room. “ old fool, just wait,

when I become Mrs Thompsons, I will make sure you are sacked from this household "

I stormed angrily back to where I was seated and tuned in just in time to hear the second reporter

speak, he was from my dad's company.

“ Miss Miller was said to have gotten into her car driving to meet her friend who was standing at the

other side of the road but Alas!, she couldn't make it as the car exploded into flames" He said as he

took out an handkerchief to wipe his eyes, I roll my eyes at his antics and waited for him to continue.

“ Miss Lilian Thomas, childhood friend to Miss Miller who was heavily pregnant, was said to have

fainted due to the shock, and she is currently receiving treatments. Process I've been made to contact

her parents who are currently in Greece for a business trip. That's the news today at 8 am. Thank you"

I stood up humming to myself as I went into my room to shower. I have never been this happy in my

entire life. I need to see Austin to give him a“ thank you sex".

After I had showered and dressed ready to go to Austin's, I decided to put a call through to Michael just

to pretend, I don't trust Emma, who knows she might have called him behind my back.

The phone was ringing as I willed tears into my eyes, I need to act like I'm hurt for Michael to believe

me.

“ Hello, love" Michael called cheerfully into the phone, I smile inwardly, that means that he still hasn't

heard the news. Thank God, I thought that old fool might have gone behind my back to call him.

“ Michael, I____I'm very sad right now," I sniffled back tears as I clutched my chest dramatically crying

into the phone.

“ What's wrong, Deborah? Is it the baby? Do you think it's time? Answer the damned question "

Michael screams after waiting for several minutes without hearing from me.

I sniffles loudly into the phone “ I_______don't know how to say it, Michael"

“ Deborah, I'm busy, if you can't say what's happening to you then I'm going to hang up right now"

Michael cold voice hissed into the phone as I shivered nervously, I've forgotten how dangerous he can

be if things don't go his way.

” It's Nina, She_______"

Michael cut me off as he growled loudly into the phone impatiently" How many times do you want me to

tell you that there's nothing going on between us. That picture you saw in the newspaper was

photoshopped "

“ It's not that Michael, Nina was involved in an accident and she's dead" I said as I heard Michael gasp

loudly into the phone. Though I exaggerated a bit but she is as good as dead anyway. Right?

“ What did you just say? Nina did what?” Michael asked as I could imagine him pacing around his office

and running his hands through his hair.

“ I said Nina's dead" I repeatedly cried profusely into the phone" I know you won't believe me" sniffle"

check my dad's channel, it's being broadcast there" Another sniffles as I felt the phone go dead in my

hands.

I smiled as I took wipes from the dresser and wiped my face clean as I laughed oblivion to Emma who

had watched the scene clearly from the beginning to the end.

Entering into my car, I pulled out of the driveway and drove toward the big gate. I tried to open the gate

but was blocked by Mark, who was in the front of my car.

“ Are you Nut? Why are you blocking my car?” I shouted at him. I need to get married to Michael on

time, so I could put all these men in their place. How dare he!!!

“ I'm sorry ma'am but Mr Thompson instructed me to take you anywhere you want to go" Mark

apologized as he still stood rigid, blocking my car. I felt like running him over with my car. Maybe I could

tell Austin to have him killed too.

“ Get out, I'm going to see Nina in the hospital. I don't need your help " I screamed at him. I paused

immediately, I saw his face softened.

“ Miss Miller? What is she doing in the hospital " Mark said with a sad expression” I would never

believe that this mountain man could be capable of emotions like he is feeling right now. What did Nina

do, to have everyone in Michael's household love her so much.

“ She's dead " I shouted at him as I angrily drove the car towards him, he ran off the road dazed in a

shocked expression. The high time you all believed that she is dead the better for us......

I pulled the car out of Michael's villa and took the direction to Austin's house checking from time to time

if I'm being followed or not. I wouldn't want anyone to associate me with Austin, if at all he's caught.

There was traffic on the road, as I slammed down on the honk nonstop, every billboard in the street

was showing the news of Nina's accident as every car owner paused to watch, shaking their head in

pity.

I scowled past them as I turned toward Austin's villa, even the whole country mourned her death. Who

does that, no one was angry when she took everything from me, now that she is dead, they are asking

the police to investigate.

I parked the car angrily in Austin's driveway and went into the elevator that will take me to his room.

Austin was dressed in black about to go out when I walked in. His hands hovered on his car keys as he

looked at me shocked.

“ What are you doing here?" Austin said as his eyes hardened, he looked across from me into the hall,

checking to see if I was being followed.

I smiled at him as I pushed the door closed with my feet and ran up to him, kissing him excitedly on the

lips, I turned to look at him and answer his question.

“I came to see you, I saw the news and you can't believe how excited I was. Wait, a minute, where are

you going to dress like that?" I frowned as I pointed to his black pants, black shirt and his black blazer

which was on his one hand, his keys on the other.

“ Did someone die? Are you going to a funeral ?"

I asked him as I walked to the nearest couch and sat down, kicking off my heels I raised my legs up on

the couch.

Austin sat down reluctantly on the couch opposite me as he ran his hands through his brown locks"

Baby, we shouldn't be seen together in public especially at a time like this"

“ But_____" I pouted, frowning at him as he cuts me off holding one finger.

“ Allow me to finish " He smiled at me as I nodded waiting for him to continue" I don't want Michael to

find out about us, most especially my baby"

“ But no one is going to find out, I make sure no one followed me here and most especially, they are

busy mourning Nina to notice that I'm not in the villa"

Austin expression relaxed as he smiled at me, coming to hug me close as he ran kisses through my

hair

“ I miss you so much Deborah. You don't know how I stay awake at night thinking about you" Austin

said, his voice a soft whisper to my ear. Sometimes I wonder why I couldn't fall for a man like Austin?

“ I'm starting to regret allowing you to go back to Michael but I love you and you know, that's the only

thing that comforted me when you are gone"

“ I will not be going anywhere, I will always come to see like I'm doing right now" I smile up at him as I

step out of his embrace to sit down.

“ So tell me, where are you going to dress like that?” I repeated my question to him as he grinned,

showing his perfect set of teeth.

“I was going to see Nina, in the hospital, to offer her parents my sympathy” Austin replied as he stood

up turning around to show me his clothing " “How do I look?"

I scoff at him, smiling“You look more handsome than ever but is she really dead?"

“ She is as good as dead, no one survive an accident as fatal as that. When she isn't God "

“ I hope you are right, you don't know how excited I am. There will be no longer a Nina waiting for my

Michael at parties to have sex and no Nina serving as my rival and competition. I could go back to

being a lush beauty's model and back to my social media space" I smiled as I ran to hug Austin,

everything would not be possible if not for his help.

“ I'm glad you are excited but I need to be going "

Austin stood up, taking his blazer and keys from the center table.

“ But I wanted to give you a“ thank you sex" I pouted up at him. Austin walk up to me and kiss my

pouted lips“ I'm sorry but we have to take a rain check on that sex" He said winking at me.

“ I'm also going to the hospital " I replied as I reluctantly walk out of the door, Being pregnant has

escalated my sexual urge leaving me more ornier and Michael has not been giving me sex. I entered

my car and drove off to the hospital , while Austin went in his car as we both went separate

routes.
