A Second Chance With The Billionaire CEO

Mara sobbed as she clutched her pillow tightly, the loud moans from the next room wouldn't stop reaching her ears as they pierced through her heart more sharply than an arrow could.

What pain is more worse than hearing her husband banging another lady in her matrimonial bed and right at her hearing? As if that wasn't enough locking her and forcing her to stay inside while he drilled the blonde inside their room.

With reddening eyes, she glanced at the wall that demarcated their room from where he had locked her up and then back to the room where she lay presently, that was the room they had both decorated for their baby just when she was first pregnant... She blinked her eyelashes rapidly trying not to let the tears fall to her face.

Tears streaked down her face as she felt the stinging sharp pain from the adverse effect on her face. By the gods, that wasn't the husband she had been married to for four years, he was very sweet and loving. If anyone had told her that Gerald would ever cheat on her not to talk of banging another lady in their room, she'd have used a knife to cut off that person's neck.

Divorce was an option in her case and yes, he'd had presented her with divorce papers severally but she had blatantly refused to sign. Not when he couldn't risk to give her a share for a divorce. How selfish!

She held her half-torn clothes and used them to wipe her injured face carefully as the pain intensified.

Today, she was willing to sign the goddamn papers even though it would be a huge favor on his side; to discard her like a trash of can. Well, she'd prefer getting discarded than keep being his punching bag and getting hurt every day.

A loud groan from Gerald jolted her from her thought as she sighed sniffing inwardly... She needed no one to tell her that they just ended their foreplay.

The fumbling noise of keys shortly on the door of the room where she sat made her affirm her assumption as Gerald opened the door letting the blonde go in first before he followed suit.

She cast him a killing look and then she felt her inside boiling with rage as he fumbled with the belt of his trousers.

"Did you enjoy the moans or you prefer I fvck her right here, barren woman? " Gerald tossed at her with his hands on the blonde boobs.

Mara felt a stab right at her chest as tears came streaking down her cheeks freely.

She stood up fuming, clenching her jaws together... "You can as well keep her as your new mistress while she turns to your baby factory! " she tossed back at him

Panic seized her as Gerald pushed the fuming blonde aside and rushed to her.

"Get me the divorce papers! " She fumed back at him. She has finally had enough of his incessant nagging and his query about her barrenness.

"Now! " she roared at him, pouring out her frustration and anger.

Gerald's face lit up as he heard her voice out what he'd been looking for since..

"Seems you've come to your right sense now, Lena get those papers! "

Mara closed her eyelids as she batted with tears from falling freely down her face, at least not at his watch. She wouldn't let him know that he had won over her, one day she'd be able to revenge back at him.

It didn't take long as the blonde whom she assumed to be Lena walked inside with the divorce papers in her hands.

With a sharp look from Lena, she handed it over to her.

She sighed as she grabbed the paper and pen from her and then settled on the bed scribbling down her signature without giving her opinion a second thought.

She handed it over to him once she was done, flinging it right at his face.

"That's a wise decision you have taken, Barren woman!" He humphed without exempting his hatred for her.

"To hell with you! " she tossed back at him.

"I would have the maid get your things quickly while you get your barren self out of my house''

Realization dawned on Mara that she'd had just signed the goddamned papers... She was going to be leaving just like that without a share, compensation, or whatever all thanks to his cruelty.

With a humph, she walked out of the room.

Shortly she came out from the mansion carrying her suitcase with her as she headed outside, her destination unknown.

The first ray of sunlight lit up Mara's room covering her eyelids. She blinked feeling lazy to stand up then turn to face the other side of the bed where she sense was free from the sunray.

She murmured out some strange unknown words as she continued enjoying her sleep.

The sudden loud noise she heard had her upset as she jerked up from her bed and then made her way to the window. She sighed out when she saw the intruder that had deprived her of sleeping. It was Reely, a cock that had made it a habit of crowing in her window even though she had tried her best in chasing it away each time, it always find it way back there again.

She shooked her head leaving the innocent creature as she shut her windows back and strode back to continue her sleep after all it was weekend and she had to make it her rest day.

The nausea feeling she felt had her halted from proceeding to her bed. Rather, she rushed to the bathroom instead.

In the bathroom, she emptied all the content that made her stomach upset and then rinsed off her mouth as her breath hitched.

She went back inside her room only to meet Juliet her friend sitting on her bed with her eyes gawking suspiciously at her .

She gently closed the door behind her "Why the look?" Her voice came out hoarsely.

"That's not a proper way of greeting your bestie a 'good morning'" Juliet humphed, stressing out the Good morning.

"You shouldn't have looked at me that way if you had wanted a proper good morning" Mara replied her sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.

After leaving Gerald's house she had left the city and had returned to her Best Friend who had been her childhood friend had had also happened to be her bridesmaids at her wedding day.

Juliet had been so shocked opening the door to meet her in a crying state, her face bruised and when she'd ask of what had happened, she was shocked beyond measure to find out that Gerald of all guys could cheat on her judging on how their love bond had been so tight, she'd threatened to bring him down by splashing it to the press but Mara had strongly kicked against it.

It been two weeks since she left Gerald's holding and since then, she had secured a job where she worked as a part-time nurse in a nearby hospital. She'd had her complete credentials and the complete requirements it takes to work as a full-time but due to lack of inexperience she had to go through being an internship first before she gets promoted and frankly the pay wasn't nice but it was fair enough to pay up some bills. There was no one she'd blame for her lack of inexperience other than Gerald, he had insisted she stopped working immediately after their marriage saying he was suitable enough to foot up their bills and those of their future children, she'd had been so stupid to follow his order without countering on it and now, she had to face the consequences of her foolish action.

While he was in his comfort zone enjoying, there she was struggling to start life afresh, she'd swear with her life that she was going to get revenge at him one day and yes she's going to work so hard till she is able to measure up to his standard.

After her divorce with Gerald, she had been so scared of looking at the papers not with the last time she checked, she had ended up crying all day as she couldn't bear to take off the image of Gerald and the Slut engagement party. She'd sworn that in order not to hurt herself, she wasn't going to be glancing at the papers again.

"What way?" Juliet stare keenly acting daft.

"You know what I'm talking about!"

"I really don't know miss, if you wouldn't mind telling me again" Juliet sets her hands in akimbo as she was all set for Mara to prep her on what she was talking about.

"Suspiciously" Mara mouthed out begrudgingly and then Juliet sprang to her feet as she snapped her fingers.

"Of course that's the word, SUSPICIOUSLY. I mean what other way do you expect me to glance at you if not suspiciously "

"What do you mean, Juliet" Mara rested her back at the bathroom door as she furrowed her brows trying to make out of the meaning of what her friend was hinting on.

"Isn't it to obvious? I mean, the last time I checked no normal human being vomits all the time and you aren't the type that gets irritated easily. So, isn't it fully obvious?"

Mara heart beats at the possibility of what her friend was hinting on, of course, she thus understand what she was saying indirectly but she knew deep down that it can't be true, perhaps it was something she was reacting to which she hadn't find out yet.

"There's nothing obvious....."

"Common, Mara.. last two days you complained to me of migraine and Scotch egg that was your favorite you ditched it aside yesterday saying it upsets your stomach and it's giving you the urge to puke let's not leave the part that your bust is getting Fuller each day, what else is there to check on the possibility?''

"You and I know that there's no possibility that it'd be happening, I mean Gerald and I never had anything intimate for almost a month and half now..."

"Was there anyone then?" Juliet queried as her eyes glared keenly with interest on her friend.

Something flashed across to Mara's head as she gasped her eyes widen. She threw her hand across her mouth as she tried to held to her breath.

Juliet heart sank heavily as she saw her friend reaction, her heart beat loudly for the unexpected news she'd be hearing, God help her she'd be able to contain it.

"Spill Mara" she folded her hand across her chest.

Just two nights before she left her matrimonial home, she'd recall Gerald coming back home drunk that night and then they had passionately had sex, she'd could recall that he had murmured out something after their love-making, with his tone holding a tinge of guilt but she couldn't make out of what he murmured.

Juliet gasped once she'd heard her friend confession, her hand went across to her hair as she paced tho and fro in the room while Mara lay hafly on the bed.

"You should try this first, for all we know it's just an assumption but this should confirm" Juliet handed to her the pregnancy test kit.

Mara stretched her hand collecting the paper test kit and the strode to the bathroom back dragging her feet as she walks.

She closed the door behind her as she leaned on it praying within her that it shouldn't indicate positive. She never wanted anything to do with Gerald and with his seed inside of her she wouldn't have no option.

Her heart skipped as the thought of returning back to him hits her.

She recalled the first time she had first met him, she'd was going for a project class and was late for it. She'd never wanted the struggle of rushing to the restroom to change to her uniform so she had taken the stress of waiting and had dressed up from home.

Unluckily for her, a car which she hadn't seen coming splashed water on her sparking white uniform, her face scrunched up as she ran after the car. "The reckless driver needs to be put in his place, it dare splashed water on her without sounding a horn and care not to apologise" she had fumed inwardly as she ran past it blocking it's path as she spread her arm wide in it's front.

The car came to a halt just as she expected and then, the driver stepped out from the car.

"Young lady what do you want?'' He asked as he closed the door of his car stuffing his hands into his pocket.

"Are you blind not to notice that you splashed water on me?'' she had casually tossed at him and he had smiled down at her, that smile that had smelt away all form of anger she had for him and instead of anger she ended up staring into his handsome face taking in his handsome features from his chesnut curly hair, to his long dark lashes, pointed nose, well-set jawline and then to his moustache that makes him look more manly. He smiled again and she almost lost it as she grinned sheepishly, she could swear that she saw a flash of his dimple when he smiled, she'd thought dimples never fits guys but not this particular dude that was standing at her front.

His sky blue eyes stared into her brown pooled eyes and for a second, Mara thought she was in heaven as she was seeing things she couldn't fathom.

He cleared his throat as he darted his gaze away from her. She jolted away from her nasty thoughts as she recalled why she had him on a halt.

"You splashed water on me few minutes ago and I'm having a practical class which I'm already minutes late" she explained, this time politely as she glanced down at her wrist watch.

He'd had apologized and had offered to get her new one, upon hearing that she'd had been very happy as she had been having struggles with her savings in getting new ones.

Truly, he got her new one's and had dropped her off not without getting her number though.

She'd had gotten to the practical class and had thought she'd be punished but she was spared and instead of punishing her the board members all respected her. She'd never knew the reasons to their strange actions not until they got married together and he had revealed it to her.

That night after the incident, he had called her and had once again apologized to her and then had inquired if she had any troubles. She had replied that she had none.

She'd had always seen him as an ordinary guy not until she had brought him home one day and had introduced him to Juliet. Juliet had pondered on where she'd had seen his face and then she recollected that he was the present heir of the Browns company. She'd had gasped and had told Mara about it who still doubted it until she confronted him about it and then he had confessed.

She'd thank God on bringing luck to her side, her joy knew no bound when he tied the knot with her but everything changes just like a flash of light.

It started after her second miscarriage, she noticed he became so distant and when she queried him about it he used the word Busy and apologies to wave her off.

It became worse at her forth year of marriage when she couldn't take, she'd had gone to several hospital and she had conducted several tests but still the medical results came out that she's medically intact, she was givenn different kinds of procedure's to go through and after every procedure, each results yields nothing.

She became worried when she couldn't give him an heir, and his Aunt started nagging at her, calling her barren and other sorts of irritating names.

She'd would cry all and he had always comforted her that everything was alright, and they might adopt kids if eventually they couldn't raise one. Mara had kicked against the idea of adopting and had vowed to herself to do everything possible to raise an heir for him.

Luckily, his mother wasn't pressurizing her like his Aunt was.

Gerald had always stood by her like he had nothing up his sleeve and had been fooling her all along.

But now, that's all in the past , she's now back to her single life.

Glancing at the pregnancy test kit in her hands she proceeded to make use of it.

Her eyes bulged out as she glared at the lines in the test kit, this can't be true! She muttered as her heart sank deeply.
