Billionaire, Let's Divorce! novel Chapter 416

SHARON

My ally has asked that we meet today and I agreed.

I looked at my face in the mirror. The worry was evident in my features. My gaze fell on my stomach, my fake stomach.

This ‘ally’ has refused to say why she wanted to help me. And I'm left to wonder; does she know about my fake pregnancy? So when she proposed that we meet in person, I accepted immediately.

I took a deep breath and smoothed my hands over my blouse. “Let's go see what the fuss is all about,“ I muttered. I grabbed my bag and made my way out of the house.

Once I was seated in my car, I exhaled one more time. Then I looked through my bag to be sure that the pepper spray, stun gun and taser were intact.

She didn't sound dangerous, but you never could tell. Besides, whoever knows my secret right now is dangerous.

I punched in the address she sent to me and headed to the restaurant. It was an old restaurant in a remote area. I parked about a mile away from the restaurant and walked the rest of the way.

After what felt like forever, I stopped before the building of the restaurant that looked like it would collapse any minute from then. I dialed her number.

“I'm here,“ I simply said.

There was a pause then, “But I don't see you. Where ar- Oh, I've seen you. You have on mom jeans and a black blouse, right?“

“Yes.“

“Okay, I'll be right out.“

She was a beautiful young lady. She had on a crop tank top under her loose denim overalls. She didn't look like someone who could offer any help to me and I wondered, once again, what she could possibly want to help me with. I have never seen her before, so how does she know and why does she think I need help? Definitely, she must know something about me. But what does she know?

She waved even though she knew I could see her. “Hey!“

I forced my lips into a smile and walked up to her.

“Thank you for coming,“ she said and together we walked into the cafe.

I sat there, my bag on my lap and watched as she ordered two large cups of orange juice for the both of us.

She turned back to me with a smile. “I know we aren't here to have a chithat over drinks, but we can't just sit here and take up space. They won't allow it.“

I nodded, “I understand.“

“So…“ I began after they dropped the large cups before both of us. “You said you're my ally?“ I finally said, unable to remain patient anymore.

She took her time and drank a good amount of the juice before she returned the cup to the table and faced me.

She began and I appreciated that she was very straightforward. “I love Dennis but he wouldn't look at me. I know Dennis is Anastasia's husband. And I know there's the risk that Anastasia might take your husband from you soon.“

I watched her carefully. “Why did you say that?“

“Because I know that your husband might still have feelings for his ex, Ana, and it's now worse because she has two kids for him, we both know the story behind that so I won't dive in.“
