Carrying His Heir While Fighting His Lies novel Chapter 11

Ava's POV

What just happened?

And what did he say, Baby Birthday, Darling?

How come he knows it is my birthday, first of all?

And why is he calling me with endearment?

Why?

I was standing there for, I do not know, how long, still trying to get what just happened.

I felt someone shake my shoulder. I looked up and saw Nathan looking at me with questioning eyes. I know what he is asking.

I huff and nod in affirmation.

He banged on the table. "I should have thought of it: why is such a big company behind our lives, and why would they be persistent enough to meet you only?" He spoke, flaring his nostrils.

"It could be a coincidence, Nathan. If they are a big company, let us be honest; we aren't small either. We have made our name in such a short amount of time." I said, sitting on a chair.

"Agree, but then again, why did they want to meet you?" He made his point again.

"They wanted to meet MD, not me, Nathan.

And it has been five years. He does not care about whether I am dead or alive. Then why today will he come behind me?" I stated it as a matter of fact.

"Maybe he wants a divorce?" Nathan spoke, looking at me.

"Maybe," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"But again, why does he have to come? He would have sent it to someone." I said this while brooding.

"I think there is something more than this, or maybe it is just a coincidence, but well, now, I do not want to stretch this issue anymore. Can you do me a favour?" I asked, looking at him.

"Yeah, anything tells me." Nathan spoke.

"Ask our lawyer to prepare my divorce paper. I want to finish ASAP." I spoke, getting up and looking outside the window.

He nodded, and worry was visible in his eyes.

"Do not worry, Nathan; I am much stronger than this. Now come on, I do not know about you, but I have work to do."

I try to lighten the environment, but I know how shaken up I am by his re-entry.

Nathan looked at me for two minutes, then nodded and started walking past me.

I know he is not convinced by my statement, but he knows not to ask anything right now; at least he understands my little

I went to my cabin and took the whole glass of water in one go, and suddenly I was feeling like I could not breathe.

I looked outside, and tears finally started flowing from my eyes. Why God, why is he back? When I have lived my life peacefully, why is he back?

I was lost in my thoughts while standing at the same place, for I do not know how long, and I heard the knock on my door.

"Come in," I said without looking toward the door.

"Hey, Ava, Are you ready to leave?" I heard Sam's voice.

"I have some work, Sam. You may leave."

Oh, but how will I go? Nathan had a meeting, so he will reach home directly. How long will it take? I can wait if you want."

"Take my car; I will manage. Do not worry about me."

"What? No, I shall take the taxi; do not worry.

"Take the bloody car, Sam," I said, and she knows right now I am not in the mood to argue.

"Take the key from my assistant. I will see you at home. Bye." I dismiss her before she says anything else.
