4 Genius Babies & 1 Unforgivable CEO Ex

"Alex, I am pre..." It was… unexpected. When I learned from my doctor that I was pregnant, I decided to share this news with my husband. Mixed with excitement and nervousness, I waited until the call was answered immediately. Unfortunately, I hadn’t even completed my sentence when my husband interrupted— "Lauren, let’s divorce." What! "Y-You... what did you say?" With pounding heartbeats, I sat on the big bed stupefied. My eyes lingered around the luxurious bedroom and the things it housed, trying desperately to grasp his words. The happiness on my face from a second ago before the phone call, was instantly drained by the man I was legally married to, before I could have even shared the news. Surely I might have misheard him. This wasn’t what he said. With shivering lips, I decided to re-ask him. "Alex, y-you… come again?" However, I knew that I had heard him well when there was no response from the other end. My entire world shook. Angered and not knowing what to do, I immediately got flustered and asked, "Why, why do you want a divorce? I... am I not doing well?" My heart suddenly felt empty recalling the memories I had with Alex. However, at the thought of provoking him, I panicked and apologized to him, clenching tightly on the phone. What if this offends him and I lose every chance of amending our relationship? I cannot... I cannot let that happen. "I'm sorry, Alex! I really am sorry. If I have done something wrong, then tell me. I will change! I will become better." I am pregnant with his baby, and deeply love him. How can he divorce her now? What about the baby? What about our baby? Everybody called him ruthless and cold, but I underestimated his ruthlessness. He wouldn’t even leave his loved ones. "Lauren, Rebecca is pregnant." At this moment, my entire world collapsed. And so did I. I could hear my heart shatter while falling into a cold dark abyss. Why… Why is the world spinning? And... Rebecca is pregnant...? My phone had slipped out my hand to the ground, and I sat there, not knowing for how long. Soon, my phone chimed, bringing me back to reality. A gulp of emotions rolled down my throat as I looked at the photo Rebecca shared with me wherein she sat on the bed with a prominent belly and leaned against Alex. The photo nagged at my inner tissues. Rebecca looked as delicate as a flower with a handsome man by her side, and she was glowing. Her smile gave an illusion of a happy family. Alex’s happy family... with Rebecca! Then what about me? What was I to him, and why was I living here in his lavish residence? To be a trophy wife whom he married only because of a business deal? Then what about this unborn child? At this moment, I was furious! The photo stung my eyes and made me lose all my reasons. It was enough! I needed answers and put an end to this messy situation. In a fit, I rushed over to Rebecca’s house, even though I knew she deliberately provoked me. It could be a trap, but a small part of my mind was desperate to have a happy family with my husband. Thus, I decided to go with the flow. Two could play this shameless game. After all, I was his legal wife and wouldn’t let a mistress mock or make fun of me in such a way! I will get what rightfully belonged to me! As soon as I reached Rebecca’s house, the door opened, revealing Rebecca’s shocked face- "Lauren, why are you here, you—" Huffing, I slapped Rebecca before she could carry on with her pitiful drama. “Are you really pregnant with Alex’s child?” I sneered watching Rebecca’s face, which could easily make men pity her, swell up instantly. Rebecca covered her red, and swollen cheek, with tears falling down her face. She glanced at me with grievance and said, "Lauren... Lauren, listen to my explanation. Alex and I… we really love each other. Anyway, you cannot conceive so, I beg you to please help me! Help our family of three, okay?" Couldn’t conceive? Who let her comment on my condition? Watching her Oscar winning performance, I seethed in anger at her useless pleading. Help them? Rebecca, if I helped you, who would help me and my baby? I could guarantee she would win any award with her acting. It disgusted me how everything was a game to her. “Why should I help a mistress who destroyed my family?" Rebecca’s eyes shifted on to something behind me, and I narrowed my eyes as her eyes suddenly darkened and she took a step forward before grabbing my hand. "Lauren, I really love Alex and this baby. Please, please don’t force me to abort this child, Okay? I beg you!" "Don't touch me!" I tried to pull my hand away from her grip because she disgusted me. But why would she suddenly say all that and act even more desperately? I didn’t even ask her to abort the baby! However, my eyes went wide when Rebecca abruptly let go of my hand and fell backwards— "Ah—!" Flabbergasted, I remained rooted to my stop. What just happened? We were just arguing. So, how come she suddenly fell to the ground? Seeing Rebecca scream in pain, I shuddered! Blood flowed from her thighs as Rebecca went pale, and she started to scream: "My child, my child..." Fear gripped my heart and only then did I notice a very concerned Alex ran towards her. "Rebecca, dear, what's wrong?" He immediately picked her up in his arms, ready to take her to the hospital. But he paused for a second to throw me a disdained look. "Lauren, I really underestimated you." Baffled, I stared at him cluelessly. I didn’t know what was happening, yet Alex hated me. "I, I didn't." With trembling hands and shivering voice, I looked at the bloodied scene. But I knew I had to explain myself. "No Alex, I didn't push her. It was not me, but herself..." Regardless, Alex was ridiculed from my explanation as if he couldn’t believe my audacity. "Did she slap herself in the face?" Alex looked at me with dangerous eyes and I subconsciously took a few steps back. "Lauren, two years ago, you tried your best to climb up into my bed due to which I was forced to marry you. But I told you clearly that you will never get my heart. I have no feelings for you! A woman like you has no right to interfere in my private life." Alex’s words stabbed my heart. I stared at him dumbfounded. Each broken piece hurt me more than the other. "If anything happened to Rebecca’s child, I would bury you with it!" And after that warning, Alex hurriedly left with Rebecca. Tears formed in my eyes as I couldn’t believe tonight’s unfolding. I cannot bear to see him leave like this without even hearing my explanation. If I did, this could be our last interaction; it was a hunch. Thus, I immediately ran to him and tugged at his arm tightly. With a heavy heart and trembling lips, I persuaded him to listen to me. "Alex, listen to me. She sent photos to provoke me first, and I-I am also pregn—" “Ah-” Rebecca screamed to interrupt me, and my face countered. “Alex, my stomach... it hurts." Rebecca's weak voice weighed heavier than my true words and Alex immediately made a dash towards the door, anxiously. "Alex, listen to me, I also have our child..." Seeing him retreat, I thought it was all a nightmare. "Get out of here before we return!" Alex’s words rang in my ears. I had an unsettling feeling in the pits of my stomach, and I cannot just let him go. No matter how many times I tried, Alex didn’t care about the truth. He carefully placed Rebecca in the car seat and my sanity was lost when she smirked at me, oblivious to Alex. She mocked me. No, I can’t let this cunning woman win like this! I will have to tell Alex about her baby. “ALEX! You must listen to me-” With determination, I tried to stop him. However, Alex pushed me away in a haste and revved up the engine without sparing me another glance. I lost my footing and hit the ground. A dull pain gradually emerged from my lower abdomen, and I frowned, subconsciously covering my stomach. "A-Alex..." I wanted to call my husband for help, but he had already driven away with his mistress. Enduring the inner pain, I tried to book a taxi while writhing on the ground, but the pain was all too unbearable. Just then, a car happened to pass by. Out of desperation and fear of losing my child, I tried to stop the car. "Save me! Save me, please, save my child!" Regardless, my weak voice did not happen to reach the owner of the car. Or maybe it was because it was too dark for them to notice me in the front yard. So, I turned on the flashlight of my phone and kept waving it, hoping to get noticed. The driver stopped quickly, sensing something was wrong. He reversed his car and immediately helped me to get in. "Please, take me to the hospital." I pleaded. The darkness and agony made me unable to see who it was. Right now, my attention was only on my child. The driver didn't speak but nodded and started driving rashly. But gradually, I found that the direction in which we were headed was wrong. “Where are you taking me? I want to go to the hospital!" Panicked, I covered my lower abdomen tightly as my mother’s instincts kicked in and questioned the driver anxiously. "Where are you taking me?" Does he know? Is he here to take revenge? "Where else?" The driver sneered, and his rough voice sounded like the call of hell demons. "Miss Lauren, Alex asked me to give you a ride!" "Farewell!” Saying that, the driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car went out of control, crashing into the guardrail halfway up the mountain. My pupils constricted as I realized the situation I was in. it was as if I was on a death ride. "You are crazy! Quick, the brake, brake-!!" He wouldn’t listen, like a crazy person he laughed, and I struggled to open the door desperately to escape, feeling my dead end coming near. The car quickly hit the guardrail, and the driver took a leap out of his side of the car door leaving me alone! I watched with a slow heart rate as I fell off the cliff, along with my sinking heart. The car flew off the road and crashed into the deep sea... silencing my thoughts... "If anything happened to Rebecca’s child, I would bury you with it!" Before losing consciousness, my husband’s ruthless words filled my mind. Alex, what did you mean by those words? You really are cruel and cursed me when you said that. If I die, I will hunt you and ask for your life in return for my child’s-!
