The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter 49: Deborah

I walked out from the bathroom where I was taking shower to pick up my phone which has been ringing

for a while now.

Picking it up, I was surprised to see my dad's calling. It's been a while since I last talked or saw him. I

wonder what's wrong with him?

“Hey dad” I called slowly into the phone unsure of the kind of mood he might be in.

“ Deborah Melton? ” My dad screamed into the phone as I held the phone away from my ear, surprised,

what could have made dad so worked up?.

“ Did you and Austin planned Nina's accident? ” Dad asked in a hushed voice, probably not wanting

mom to hear about it.

“ I______didn't do____”

“ Why didn't you ask Austin to kill her off. Now she's awake” Dad said bitterly. I was shocked. Dad is in

support of having Nina killed. Good job Deborah wait a minute, what did dad just say?

“ Nina's awake? How?” I asked my dad, shocked.

“ I don't know either, and I don't care about it. That's for you to worry about not me. We have bigger

problems in our hands now?”

“ What problem dad?” I asked him as I walked to the wardrobe to get my outfit for today, planning to go

see Austin as soon as I dropped dad's call.

“ Daniel just called me now that Michael is threatening to marry Nina secretly”

“ What ?“ I screamed as my hands froze on the red blouse in my hands” What do you mean by that?

What about his baby?” I asked dad as I lovingly ran my hands through my tummy that has started to

show. While making a mental note to go for checkup with my doctor.

“ That child which is not even Michael's. How could you do such a thing like that?. That's too risky

Deborah. What if Michael finds out?”

“ He's not going to find out dad”, I told him, rolling my eyes at him. Something that I've been able to

hide all this while,“ The only one who knew are me, you, Austin and my doctor. No one else”

“ Okay. That's alright. I will handle Michael's father while you handle Nina. Keep her away from Michael

especially at the wedding. Do you understand? ”

“ Yes dad” I replied as he hung up the phone. I slumped heavily on the bed shocked and surprised.

How did Dad find out that Michael is not the father of my baby. How can I underestimate my father? I

really need to speak to Austin about this. And Michael, how dare him? How dare him threaten to marry

that witch of the west secretly? I would never allow it. Michael is mine ”

I quickly got into my dark red trouser and white free top which Michael bought for me from one of his

business meetings in Spain. I miss him when he was so loving and caring to me. He used to tell me

things and hangs around with me. When did we fall apart? To the point that he can't stand the sight of

me anymore.

“ Since when you started planning to kill the one woman he loves with his life. Deborah, you are no

longer in love with Michael. You are obsessed with him and I'm afraid your obsession has turned to

hatred. You want to cause him pain?” My subconscious said to me angrily as I turned to look at her.

“ I love Michael. I love him with my life“ I screamed at her. How dare she tell me that I hate Michael.

How can I hate Michael?

“No, you don't. The earlier you admit it the better”

“ Yes I do. I love him” I screamed with my hands on my head. How dare she tell me otherwise? ”

“ Miss Melton! Are you alright? ” John's voice brought me out of my thoughts as I turned to look at the

door. I can't believe I say that out loud.

“ Yes. What do you want?” I shouted at him, as I picked my bag. I walked to the door and opened up.

I stood shocked, in front of the door stood John with three other huge men I've never met before

“ What is the meaning of this, Mr. Henderson? ” I ask him, glaring at him.

“ I'm sorry, miss Melton but Mr. Thompson instructed me to get you out of the house before he arrive ”

“ What? Michael sent you to chase me out of his house. My baby father's house”

“ Yes, Miss Melton. I don't want to force you out considering your condition. I will like you to go back in,

pack your bag and walk out gently,” John said as he stood to one end of the room motioning for me to

get on.

I rolled my eyes while I stood stubbornly with my hands folded across my chest “ In your dreams. I'm

not leaving this house until Michael say otherwise”

“ Okay then. Boys, get on with your job” John said as the men all rushed into my room. They all

deposited the dresses in my wardrobe into my bag as I screamed up at them. I ran up to stop them but

they pushed me out of their sight.

I took out my phone to dial Michael's number. It rang thrice before it hung up. Why isn't he picking his

calls? Did he really ask John to send me out of his house? Why? Is it because of Nina?

“ We are done with it, sir ” One of the men said to John, who stood up from where he sat at the

entrance of my room. He walked around to inspect their hand work while I stood to one side with tears

in my eyes but I refused to cry.

“ Good. Now, take those bags to her car and deposit it inside “ John said to them as they all picked up

my bags and walked outside leaving John with me.

“ Miss Melton, that will be all for now. I hope you have a safe trip back home” John turned around with

a smile on his face. I guess he's excited to get rid of me.

“ Is she really leaving ?” I heard Emma asked John just as I descended the stairs with my car keys in

my hands.

“ Yes, I'm sure Miss Miller will be coming around tomorrow that's why Michael wants her out ” John

answered her as he took a sip of water from the cup in his hands.

“ What? Miss Miller is awake. Oh! My goodness, I'm so happy. Such a nice girl unlike the devil upstair”

Emma replied as I clenched my first together. How dare she call me a devil. I need to give her a piece

of mind.

“ Who the fuck are you calling a devil, Emma?” Emma eyes widened in shocked, as she saw me

descend the stairs angrily.

“ I'm sorry Miss Miller. It was a slip of the tongue” I rolled my eyes at her“ Slip of the tongue, right?. Just

wait till I get married to Michael. I make you both of you pay for humiliating me today”.

“ In your dreams” Emma mumbled to herself but I heard her alright. I ignored her as I took the elevator

to the parking lot. I got into my car and drove to Austin's place praying that he's home.

Austin

“ I'm coming ” I called out to the person who had been knocking my door relentlessly. I wonder who that

could be?

Opening the door I was surprised to see my woman standing there with tears in her eyes. “ Angel, why

are you crying? What happened to you?” I asked her as I usher in slowly with my hands around her

back.

She didn't answer, she continued crying while I tried to comfort her, making my heart break a million

pieces. I hate to see her cry.

“ What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?” I asked her after she had calmed down a bit.

She sniffled back tears as she turned to look into my eyes“ Michael sent me out of his house. He

humiliated me in front of his house helps”

“ Wait a minute, Michael did what?” I screamed as I paced round the sitting room pissed off. I can't

believe Michael made my woman cry.

I walk closer to Deborah and hug her. “ it's okay, don't cry, He will come around. After all you are the

only one he got apart from Nina who is still in the hospital ”

“Hospital? No way, Nina is awake and she has been discharged from the hospital yesterday” Deborah

said angrily as she stepped out of my hands.

“ Nina is awake? How did she survive an accident as fatal as that?”

“ I don't know. I'm just scared, it felt like everything I've worked for all these years is coming down the

drains and I'm helpless. I don't know what to do, ” Deborah lamented bitterly as tears poured down her

eyes. I felt helpless too, I wish there was something I could do to make her happy. Why is Nina so

stubborn? After all attempt, she still wakes up? What's wrong with that girl!.

“ What are we going to do now?” I asked Deborah who had stopped crying and was staring at me.

“Dad said he will handle it. He asked us to take care of Nina?” She replied, shrugging as I looked at her

shocked.

“ Your dad knew about us? How?” I asked her as I walked into the kitchen to get her a glass of water.

She collected it from me with smiles in her eyes.

“ I don't know either. I was as surprised as you are when he told me? But I'm glad at least he's on our

side. We just need to keep Nina away from Michael at all cost” Deborah said as she paused to a sip

from the water in her hands.

“ I overhead Emma and John gossiping earlier. They were saying something about Nina coming to ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

spend the night at Michael's ” She continued with venom in her voice.

“ That is not possible. I don't think Nina's father will agree to that considering the way her brother

behaved in the hospital ” I shake my head. Knowing how stubborn Shane is and her Mom, they won't

allow Nina to go ahead with her relationship with Michael.

“ Shane?” Deborah said laughing “ Oh my God, Austin, Shane is just a boy. He has no say in his

sister's affairs, but as for her Mom, I'm sure she won't allow that too”

“ Anyway, let's leave that. We can always talk about that later. How are you?” I ask her cause I noticed

she was losing weight and getting thinner each day. Sometimes, I blame myself for agreeing to her

ridiculous idea of giving my baby to Michael. I wish I could tell my parents that I'm about to be a father,

but I can't.

Mom will want to fuss over her, and my dad will want her to come stay a week at their place and

knowing Deborah, she will totally refuse.

“ I'm fine and your baby is good too. He started kicking some days ago” Deborah said with a genuine

smile on her face. I smile back at her. I know she will make a good mother someday.

“ That's remind me” Deborah said suddenly as she sit up on the couch, she turned to stare at me with

smile on her face “ I will be going for the ultrasound, I need you to go with me”

“ Really?” I replied excitedly, I would really love to go with her but it's too risky. What if someone saw us

there. No, I can't do that.

“ But aren't you supposed to go with Michael?” I ask her, sadly.

“ Yes, but Michael doesn't want to see me. I doubt he will want to go with me for the scan” She replied

as I walked closer to hug her.

“ It's okay. He will soon come around. You know what, I have an idea” I smile looking at her “ Really,

what is that?”

“ You can go with his mother. She will be so happy when she feel the baby's heartbeat that she will

immediately want Michael to marry you”

“ That's true. Thank you so much Austin, for everything. And for this brilliant idea of you, I will reward

you with a“ thank you sex” Deborah replied giggling as she dragged me to the bedroom while I smiled

at her.

Gosh! I'm madly in love with Deborah Melton. And I will do anything just to see a smile on her face

even though it means killing Nina again.
