Vengeance of the heiress

Chapter 1 Annie's POV I entered the room with a broad smile on my face, I couldn't stop grinning, showing how excited I am.I was so eager to meet my husband and break the news to him. I could not wait to tell Armstrong, my husband, the news! After months of trying , the test finally came back positive for a baby. I imagined his happy expression which would be on his handsome face, the way he would take me in his arms and twirl me around the house now that he is back on his feet. The celebration would be huge as my mother-in-law would be overjoyed to hear that she had always craved I get a grandchild for her son. I was going to prove her right, as she had always claimed that I was the ideal wife for her son. She had always appreciated me for standing by her son during his trial times and now he is back on his feet. As I pushed open the door with excitement on my face, I expected to see him sitting in his favorite armchair, maybe reading a book or watching TV. He had become fond of the chair ever since he was back on his feet. But what I saw made my heart sink, I was frozen for seconds where I stood,my feet were paralyzed with my jaws dropped. My husband was sitting on the couch, his eyes locked on the woman sitting beside him,her hand placed on his chest. The face looks familiar, I have seen it before. Yes! That is Emily, his ex-girlfriend. What is she doing here and why is her hand placed on his chest? The same Emily who had left him when he'd had the accident that had left him crippled. The same Emily who had broken his heart, leaving him shattered and vulnerable when he needed her the most. My mind reeled trying to comprehend the scene ex happening right before me. Armstrong had always reassured me he hated her with so much passion, saying the next time he would set his eyes on her he would shoot her dead. Now here she is romancing his chest and he was busy smiling back at him. My eyes scanned the room, blinking my eyes as I looked up, I had up here and couldn't take it any longer, I was suffocating by the sight of the scene happening before me. Emily was laughing heartily , her hand moving from his chest down to his arm, each move her hand made on Armstrong's body sent shivers filled with anger down my spine. The most crazy part was when my mother-in-law was sitting in the armchair, a smug look on her face, as if she'd been waiting for this moment all along. It was as if they were all in on some secret joke, and I was the only one who didn't get it. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of their collective gaze upon me. I stood frozen, my heart pounding in my chest, as I struggled to process the betrayal that lay before me. The mother in law who had always bragged no other person is perfect for Armstrong than me. The same mother in law who had always cherished me,carried me like an egg and said a lot of hurtful things about Emily, now dining happily with her. I must have made a sound, because Armstrong's head snapped up, his eyes meeting mine. For a moment, we just stared at each other, the silence between us was heated, I was filled with anger,pain and betrayal but his eyes were cold. I could see the guilt written all over his face, his eyes filled with a mixture of shame and regret. But I didn't care. I was beyond hurt. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me. My vision blurred, and for a moment, I thought I might pass out from the tension of what lay before me. "Annie," he called out, his voice hesitant, as if he was unsure of how to proceed what he had to say but I don't want to hear anything, he didn't need to explain the scene for me as I had watched it happened,I only wanted to know for how long had it been going on?. I snooker my head,incredulous, Armstrong reached out to me but I jerked back, I could feel the anger burning in my chest. How dare he try to touch me? How dare he try to comfort me after what I'd just witnessed? I didn't let him finish. “Get out” I hissed, my voice was trembling with rage. "All of you get out of my sight" I turned to my mother-in-law, my eyes blazing with anger. "You, too. I don't want to see any of you right now, I just want to be alone." My mother in law rose from the chair,her facial expression looked concerned but maybe she was faking it all. "Annie, dear, let's talk about this… Emily here loves Armstrong so much that is why she came back to Announce……" she began, but I cut her off, I can't believe she is saying those words to me. "No," I said, my voice firm, my jaw set. "I don't want to talk about it. I want a divorce,yes so he would have all time to love her back." I spat it out, like a challenge, and I could see the shock register on Armstrong's face. His eyes widened in shock as he tried to speak . "Annie, please...can you hear me out? he began, but I shook my head, my heart hardening against him. But to my surprise, he nodded. "Okay, it's fine if you need a divorce, Emily here has my child in her womb and I can't let go of her when you have nothing to offer" he snapped with anger in his voice. "I'll give you the divorce just the way you want it." He looked at me, his eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and regret, but I didn't care. I just wanted out, then those words hit me, Emily had his child on her womb? She is pregnant, but he never knew I was also pregnant. I felt so bad that he never recognized I was there for him during his darkest moments, just in a twirled of eyes he forgot about it. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut all over again. Why was he agreeing so easily? What did he have to gain from this? “ You are worthless to my son” she sneered, her words hitting me hard on the face as my jaw dropped. “He needed someone with high class, someone who can get pregnant in a touch not someone like you” I wanted to speak but no word was form, I couldn't say a word,the tears were circling. I am worthless now after taking care of her son for the past months? Worthless yet she said I was the perfect ideal for her son? Not classic but she chose me before. Maybe because she didn't have any idea I was pregnant, little did she know whose daughter I am but I will make her beg in regret.
