Divorced by a CEO: Doted by the President

"Arrgh!"

She shouted in pains.

Nothing could be done, she had lost the baby. Esther Brown laid like a stature on the bed as she stared at the ceiling.

"What's left to wait for? All hope is lost" She sighed.

Still in her abyss of disarray, the door opened revealing a man who was panicking.

She made to stand up, but the pain in her abdomen stopped her movement, she looked at him, a tear slipped her face.

"I am sorry" she muttered.

The man stood like a stature as he looked at his wife on the bed. Without any word he sat down, his eyes not leaving hers.

Esther cried but the man was as still as stature. After sometime, he finally asked. "How did it happen?"

Esther stopped crying, she sniffed hard 'He's calming down now' she thought.

"I am asking you, how did this happen? Where is the baby?!" He asked with a stinky voice full of sadness and anger.

Esther froze on the bed, she couldn't say anything, then a group of doctors entered the room and the head doctor gave him a scroll.

"So Sorry for your loss Mr Gregor, we tried to save the baby but Mrs Gregor fell down really hard and she's lost lot of blood before she got to the hospital"

Wayne Gregor shot the doctor a glance, "What did you mean?"

The doctor collected the scroll, "Your wife had slipped from the stairs, and she has severe loss of blood, we did everything we could, but the baby, has been injured before she got to the hospital"

Wayne's world fell. He had high hopes for the baby, but all is lost. His face remained hard and stoic, his heart was breaking rapidly.

The doctors left, then he faced her, "How did you slip from the stair? Why did you slip? You have successfully killed my first seed, are you happy now Esther?"

Esther cried, her tears are immensely as she remembered how happy they had both been when she got pregnant.

"I'm sorry.... I am really sorry Wayne, I don't know I could fall, I don't expect this either, I am really sorry please Forgive me" She cried as she held his hand while still lying on the bed.

He snapped his had away from hers, he faced the other side of the wards with anger, "Sorry? If sorry could fix things then I could have killed you right now and say sorry to the government!"

Esther cried as of there's no tommorow. She was not used this new side of him, the Wayne Gregor she had always known is a romantic Husband that hasn't raised his voice at her before, but now, he shouted on her and even removed her hand from his.

Her head was swirling in pain but she couldn't find care now. Then he continued, "Did you think I married you because I loved you? I married you because of this baby and that's because mum wants it and now you have successfully killed want you made yourself, you have successfully sent my first born to heaven without letting him know his father, I hate you!"

~

She sat like a stature on the sofa, the past few days has been a days of pains and agony as Wayne made matters worse for her.

He married her because she got pregnant for him after a fateful one night stand, she was happy to marry him for he was a Billionaire and saved her from the suffering she was experiencing at her father's house from her worst stepmother.

Esther Brown is an illegitimate child child of her family, her mother died after giving birth to her, living Esther for her sick mother. her father had married another wife who had twins for him. The twins made things worse for her.

She have had never experienced what real love tastes like not until she met Wayne Gregor.

Her meeting with him occured on a rainy night when her stepmother had casted her out of the house because she came back late and to compensate her anger, Esther drank herself to stupor and wake up to see herself naked on a strange Billionaire's bed.

He had smiled at her then, and even have her some cash, "I am sorry for what happened, I was also drunk last night that I don't know what's happening to me, take, this is my card and some cash, take care of yourself and call me if there's any problems"

Ever since that day, she had fallen in love with him. She discovered she was pregnant weeks after and called him about it.

"Marry me then, since you're carrying my child, My mum wants a grandson so I'll marry you"

This was a rare opportunity for her, she was finally able to leave her father's house. They don't really mind wether she left or not.

It was yesterday, that she now understood that, She had loved the wrong person.

"Hey! Why are you still here?" She heard his voice making her jerk awake. She stood up and looked down in shame.

"Wayne I..."

"Stop! Like I said, I married you because you are carrying my child, now the child is gone, what reason did I have to keep you?" He asked.

Esther stood frozen under her breath. What's the right answer to the question? She didn't know.

She coughed lightly and uneasily, "Em I...."

"You don't have to keep loving me" Wayne said suddenly. "I will advise you to erase all feelings you have for me because I love someone else!"

She looked up and faced him in dismay, "What did you just say?" She asked again.

He walked closer to her and grabbed her jaw making her face him, "I said; I love someone else so take your baggages and leave my house!"

Esther tried to process the news, she moved towards him with tears in her face.

"Wayne what are you saying? I can get another pregnancy for you" she pleaded.

"Not while I'm alive big sis!" The voice came from the door as someone came into the living room with clinging high heels.

Esther looked up slowly and met the smirking face of her stepsister. It was Bella! One of her twins stepsisters.

"Bella! Why are you here?" She asked cleaning her face trying to act normal, she was wondering how she got to know where she was staying.

Bella smirked and held Wayne's hand with a scornful smirk, "I should ask you why are you here sis? I heard you loosed your precious pregnancy last week? Do why are you still here?"

Esther couldn't understand anything. Her head ringing in Surprise. "Can someone explain what's going on here? Wayne what is she saying? Did you call my family over what happened yesterday?"

Before Wayne could answer her, he pulled Bella over and kissed her. Esther fell on the floor as her head was swirling in pain.

"Leave my house Esther, Bella is the woman that I love!"

Broken and disheartened, Esther Brown walked through the bustling streets of Liverpool, thinking of her love life that had just been snatched away.

"Leave my house, Bella is the woman that I love and I don't want to see you in my house so leave"

Those words of betrayal rang in her ears over and over again. She couldn't believe her ears are first but untill he made it clear again.

"Thank you Esther, I got to know Bella when I came to your family house for the first time and since then, I had loved her" Wayne had said to her before she left without any mercy in his voice.

"Big sis, Thank you for loosing that baby or else I won't have got any reason to love Wayne in public"

As those hurtful words keeps replaying itself in her brain, Esther was loosing her mind as she cried like a mad woman. She had left the house without any possession of hers except her phone and in the nightgown she was wearing and a pair of slippers.

She had nowhere to go, the bustling night street was gloomy, everywhere seems very deceptive to her as she continued walking without any destination.

She was just 25, who had little knowledge in hair dressing, after her high school, she had learnt the skill but had to leave under her Stepmother's insistence.

Despite her talent, she had always failed to attend full training in hairdressing and makeups. She was enrolled into a training center that teaches such courses with Bella but she has to stop when she she met Wayne.

Her stepmother, Mrs Astrid always ensured that her twins got everything better than her and her father cared less or none.

Giddy and weak, she wasn't sure if it was because of the pain she was feeling in her abdomen since she just loosed her baby, or weak from crying too much. While walking down an alley that led to her best friend's salon so she could pass the night with her, she bumped into a few men in black.

She drowsily bowed before the men to apologize, but heard, "That's her. Get her!"

"Who's who? They got the wrong person, I'm not anyone right?" she thought.

She struggled for dear life, but the men were too strong. They bundled her into a car.

~~

EMPRESS HOTEL, PRESIDENTIAL SUIT.

A group of people escorted the young man in the middle. Bodyguards, the hotel manager, his PA, and some other hotel employees were part of the group as they tried to keep pace with him.

He walked in fast strides, his expressionless face adding to his appearance's glamour. With his slender figure and long legs, he could easily be mistaken for a model. His posture exuded confidence, accentuated by a slim-fitting suit that emphasized his broad shoulders and trim waist.

Bathed in the coolly lit passages and elevators, my demeanor remained cool and collected, adding to my stoic allure. He entered a room and shut the door in the faces of the group following him. He removed my coat and tie, tossing them across the wardrobe.

He thought he was alone in the room when he heard a click. Before he had time to know what was happening, his phone rang from the bed where he had thrown it. Be checked the caller ID: Victor Harper.

He picked it up while trying to open the door. The he heard a cheeky voice from the other end. "Hey bro! Have you seen your plaything? I made sure to prepare a special bitch for you. Have you seen her?"

His once muddled-up face was taken over by anger. He squinted and asked coldly, "What are you doing? Did you have to close the door because of a lowly bitch?"

"Haha, dude, enjoy your night with a beautiful curvy babe. This time I found a lady of the description you loved. She was just roaming around the street and I had her brought to you. Don't forget the new Bugatti model you promised me."

Victor ended the call. When he tried returning it, the number was unreachable.

Standing in the middle of the room with an angered look, hd could hear the sound of water droplets coming from the bathroom. With his lips distorted at a strange stiff angle, he pushed the door open. Which woman actually had the guts to enter his bathroom?

Soft hums came from behind the white veil dividing the bathroom and the bathtub. She could even hum as if it were her house?

His feet became rooted as water vapor from the hot water heater she was using escaped under the veil and clouded his face.

As the vapor disappeared and the white veil was dragged to the side, he saw the view clearly. There was actually a woman in his bathroom!

He saw her long, exquisite legs first, followed by her simple pretty face and full lips. Her big eyeballs were lively, like a geographical galaxy screen. Lucian Uriel who was used to seeing many beautiful ladies, most of whom would do anything to see his smile, was stunned.

'Is she the beautiful woman that Victor brought me?' He thought, She was indeed beautiful, even more so than most sluts or women he had seen. Most relied on makeup and facial surgeries, but the lady standing before him exuded natural beauty from head to toe.

She looked directly into his face with her lively eyes that looked very gloomy and sad and slowly reached her hand out.

What is she doing? Is she trying to dance tango with him before introducing herself? Or has she not heard of who Lucian Uriel is? He was the most richest young President in the country that hates women.

Lucian Uriel hates women, especially Virgins. He have an anti-women disorder! Besides his family members, no woman can touch him, and if they do....

When she received no response from him, she suddenly grabbed his pants. His muscles froze up as her hand touched his skin. This was the first time he felt something under his pants stir, as if a sleeping dog had awakened.

His body was suddenly displaying some sort of unpleasant effects, which had never happened before. He has never been this close with any woman.

What is happening? Did she drug him or what?

Her innocent big eyes kept staring into his, leaving him clueless about what to do. Before he could figure out his thoughts, she suddenly grabbed his hands, dragged him toward the bed, made him fall on it, and towered over him like a looming doom. She slowly kissed his lips.

She looked at hin with those wide starry eyes and said, "Save me... I have no one"

I dragged my feet out of the hotel room, my mind spinning as I tried to piece together how I ended up here after leaving Wayne's place. The events were a blur, and frustration gnawed at me. Just then, my phone rang, breaking my train of thought. It was my sister, Bella.

"Big sis," Bella said softly from the other end, "let's meet and have a chat over coffee."

"Really? I don't have anything to discuss with you, so get off my phone," I snapped, the anger from earlier still simmering inside me.

Bella, unfazed, smiled through the phone. "What if it concerns your dear Grandma or your career?"

My eyes widened at the mention of my granny. What is Bella suddenly talking about? "Did you mean granny? I don't have anything to do with the two of you anymore why did you have to mention my granny?" I asked, my voice filled with anger and a touch of desperation.

"Meet me at Barbie Dreams cafe across our neighborhood. I'll meet you there," she said, and then hung up.

I dropped the call, my mind racing. Granny? What could this be about? I hurriedly boarded a cab and left Empress Hotel as if I had never been there, my thoughts now focused solely on my career and what Bella had to say.

I can't say I'm still in love with Wayne but, I still feel the need to go and meet her. I don't know how I got to the hotel or how I end up in the room on the bed alone but I just feel like going to hear Bella out.

My granny took care of me since I was old enough be alone at 12, and since the she had been battling with heart problems without no enough money to send her abroad for her surgery.

My dad can't sponsor her, my only hope was Wayne.

>LUCIAN<

I watched from my window, sipping coffee, as she hurriedly left the hotel. Last night, she had made me feel something different, a feeling I hadn't experienced in ages. I wondered who she was to leave such an impression on me.

Just then, my phone rang. It was Victor. I picked up without saying anything, waiting for him to state his message.

His voice came through gently and in barely audible whispers. "Well, I... I... am sorry. My boys just told me that the lady they brought for you is married, they were just mistaken because she had a small body. It's not intentional, but that girl is wrong. I hope you haven't done anything to her?" he asked.

I squeezed my face in irritation. The girl they gave me was married? Then why did she leave such an impression on me? Why did she looked so gloomy?

"No need," I replied curtly and hung up.

Then called another person, Assistant Peller, my personal Assistant, "Have someone track that lady who was in my room last night and monitor all her movements." I hung up before he could say another sentence.

I must know where she was going in such a hurry, and I have to find out more about her personal information. How can such a young lady be married already? Although she wasn't a virgin but still she doesn't feel like a married person and everything that she said in my room last night left me wondering, "Save me...I have no one"

If she was indeed married, then why did she say that?

>AT THE CAFE<

When I reached the bar, Bella was already waiting for me in the VIP corner. The area was decorated more lavishly than the rest of the bar, and Bella fit right in with her expensive makeup and a diamond necklace that spelled out her name, "BB" representing, Bella Brown. Dancing on her neckline.

She wore a body-hugging pink gown and a pink wig styled in a curly bun.

Seeing me, she smiled and offered me a seat. "Here, big sister, make yourself comfortable."

I glared at her with disdain, rejecting the seat and standing by the table with my arms crossed.

Bella, unbothered, gracefully dipped her hand into her handbag and pulled out a check, placing it on the table.

"Big sister, I know you're older than me and this seems disgraceful, but take this 10 million dollars. I believe it's enough to take care of you for the rest of your life," she said, adjusting her dress.

"I know that your granny's surgery costs too much and you're only depending on Wayne, and now that you have left him..... It's hard for you. With this money, you can have granny's surgery and sponsor yourself to fashion training center and learn your hair dressing, open your saloon, living a good life."

I looked at the check on the table, hissing but saying nothing.

"Sis, let's just be open and frank with each other. I know you understood everything that I said last night, Wayne and I have been in love for the past 1 one year. And I'll love to tell you that I've been tested pregnant and it's for him she said, patting her belly. "I am really pregnant with Wayne's child, and I want to keep the baby."

She held my hand affectionately, with cunning flashing in her eyes. "You have to renounce your marriage certificate with him, or else my child and I won't be recognized as part of the Gregor family."

"You know Wayne is at the peak of his career. Nothing must go wrong. Remember, he's a CEO. So I hope, sister, that you can go to the Gregor family and ask for the engagement to be called off."

I smiled sadly. Even though Bella was running her mouth carelessly, I wasn't really angry at her. Even at Wayne, I am the stupid one that keeps loving Wayne like a fool, and now Bella is pregnant for Wayne. Bella had came to do what I failed at doing.

Facing Bella, I smiled sarcastically. "You're so dumb. All that you're doing here-did Wayne know about it?"

When Bella mentioned her pregnancy, I could tell from her expression and voice that she was not really happy about it. The child was an accident. He is a CEO whose Company could fall anytime with any lame news.

From Bella's expression, I knew she had done this on her own without letting him know she was trying to buy me off.

Bella put on a brave face and countered, "You better know your limits. I am offering you this so you won't lose twice. Wayne is already mine; he can never be yours. So take the money and lose the man. It can never be otherwise."

Listening to her words, my brain clouded like a misty forest. The gravity of what she just said made my eyes widen in fury. How dare she talk to me in such a manner?

Just because she got pregnant with Wayne's child doesn't mean she will get the man. Wayne's mum only wants a grandchild, and I can't produce that, she could still loose the baby too.

Whatever happened between him and Bella was a mistake, his mother mustn't know about this until Bella's pregnancy is obvious.

As if propelled by something greater than me, I raised my hand and slapped Bella. The sound echoed, sending shivers down Bella's face.

Bella held her face and looked up. "Big sister, what-"

Before she could finish her sentence, I slapped her left cheek with even more force than the first.
