Chapter1
Amelia's pov
"This is your test result". I collected the result from the doctor and skimmed through it. A smile came on my face. "Congratulations Mrs. Norman, you are 6 weeks pregnant" mirrored mine. I thanked her and hugged her leaving the hospital in a hurry to give Nick the news.
I should surprise Nicholas our relationship has been fragile for a long time now, and I know this news will make him happy. It was our anniversary and I know he won't expect this gift from me.
I took the elevator to his floor and didn't find his secretary on the seat. I waved off the feeling and got to his office door. I stood in front of the door trying to get myself together before breaking the news to him. I practiced how I was going to tell him and smiled at the boyish smile I knew I was going to receive in return.
I opened the door to call his name when I saw a blondie on his lap Kissing him. I stopped and closed my eyes thinking it was an imagination but it was real. The blondie threw her head back as Nicholas sucked her neck. My breath got caught and I almost lost my balance.
"Baby, I have missed you," Paris said in a seductive voice I had never heard from her. Nick grunted in return and tears filled my eyes.
My best friend, Paris Samuel, was on my husband's lap grinding and kissing him. I closed the door silently and walked slowly out of the company, ignoring every greeting coming my way.
Why would Paris do this to me? She knew how much I loved him. Or maybe it isn't Paris. Paris told me she was going to be busy today, that must be her lookalike.
I knew somewhere within me that that was Paris but I didn't want to believe it. Paris won't ever hurt me. I sob on my way home thinking of Paris with Nicholas.
I should ask Nicholas. I trust him, he might not love me as I do, but he respects me. It might just be a mere understanding of my path.
I heard loud footsteps and sprang to my feet to give him my surprise. I stopped on my track before I hugged him when I saw his expression. He looked furious and dangerous.
"Nicholas, what happened? Is anything wrong? Tell me" I am his wife. After all, he can share anything with me. I tried holding his hand, but he pulled it away from me.
I looked surprised and tried going close to him but he stopped me. He looked at me with hate in his eyes.
"Amy why?" He asked, making me confused. "What is wrong Nick? tell me" I was already impatient by what he meant by that.
"Let's get divorced". I took a step back "What do you mean?" My hands trembled and my heart began to race so fast that I could hear it.
"I am tired of this marriage as you can't bear me a child" I shook my head vigorously. "I am pregnant Nick, I am carrying your child." I smiled at him, happy that my baby came just right on time to save my marriage.
"Not my child, the child you are carrying is a bastard" My smile came off and my heart sank. My heart shattered when I heard those words "It is our baby Nick, it is your child". I cried for him to believe me.
He pulled out a divorce paper "Sign them and leave my house by the time I get back". He turned to leave the house and I held it
"Nickolas, please don't do this to me, it is your baby. What will happen to it? I have nowhere to go" I held him tight, afraid I was going to lose him. "Kill the baby, Go anywhere you want to, continue w*****g around, I don't care" he spat in my face and left the house.
I broke down and cried my eyes out. I looked at the divorce paper and made up my mind. I am not signing them. I can't sign away four years of my marriage.
I stood up and went to my room. By tomorrow he will hear me out, I am sure. But it wasn't the case when I saw Paris and Nick in the morning cuddling on the couch in the living room.
"What is going on here?" I asked. She smirked at me and buried her face into Nick's shoulder. "Have you signed the papers?" He asked, looking at me with disgust. I felt a pang in my chest. This was the first time Nick would look at me like this.
"I am not signing the papers Nick, I haven't done anything wrong," I said softly, already tired and weak from crying throughout the night. "You have done so much you w***e, just sign the damn papers and leave my house" he shouted, making me afraid.
"I want to start my life afresh with Paris as she is carrying my baby" My legs shook and I collapsed on the couch close to me. I felt my heart stabbed and twisted.
I looked at her and saw her smirking at me with an evil grin. I was betrayed by my husband and best friend, the only two people in my life that I trust.
I now realize why both of them give me silly excuses at the same time. I now realize every single thing they did in my presence, but I didn't read the meaning of it.
They were having an affair. I felt hatred for both of them. I felt stupid for trying to keep my husband and always doing everything to please him. I felt foolish for telling Paris everything going on in my life.
I felt used and it hurts. With shaky hands, I signed the divorce papers and went to pack my clothes. I left behind everything he had ever given me. I left the place I called home for four years, the place I knew the meaning of love.
I failed to notice little things that were happening in my marriage. I failed to notice that Nickolas never stood up for me in front of his mother, he never supported me.
As I was walking, I felt free from the prison I called marriage. I felt at peace.
I didn't know how I was going to survive, but I was ready for the baby growing in me. I will make them pay for what they did to me.
"I will make you pay". That was the last thing I remembered before I collapsed in front of a car.
