Married To A Cruel Billionaire

Chapter 48. Intrusion

"Oh my God!" She exclaimed, still looking at the four rectangular tubes scattered around the bathroom sink. Her wide eyes turned teary as a watery smile played across her lips.

She was pregnant!

Elijah left three days ago saying he had an urgent matter to take care of and left her with a bunch of security men and maids to pamper her for three days. By the way, one of them was in charge of buying her pregnancy test kit and making sure it was the best one available on the market.

She had her doubts when she missed her period the week before and stress couldn't be a factor as she was totally relaxed. She didn't have any birth control method as she had never felt the need for it.

When she recounted her period history, she realized her ovulation day was the exact one she lost her virginity and she could still clearly remember the feeling of him spending himself in her. Heat crept to her cheeks at the memory.

The only problem now was his reaction. Of course, she was sure he would be happy seeing how he had been pampering her the last three weeks but why did she have that unsettling feeling at the it of her stomach.

She sighed and kept the positive pregnancy tests in the cupboard intending to show her husband once he would come back, which fortunately would be the same day.

As soon as she left the bathroom, she saw her army of maids, watching her with expectant eyes. Her eyes welled and she smiled widely, showing them her thumbs up. They immediately squealed and ran, ranking about something like party and rest for her.

She chuckled and picked her phone dialing her mother, as soon as she told her the news, she squealed, alerting Mayra who became her best buddy and Amelia. As soon as she shared the news, Edmund arrived, and the news was given to him as well.

And truth be told, she had never seen a man of 70+ years dancing so energetically before.

"Nobody tells Elijah, I want to be the one to announce it" She said, forcing Edmund who had started dialing to cut off the call immediately.

She told Ethan as well and the guy was so elated that he decided he would start searching for names and auto declared himself the godfather of the future baby, leaving her no room for arguing.

She wanted to tell Maya but decided against it at the last minute because telling Maya meant telling Steffen and though she loved Steffen very much, she knew telling him meant telling the whole world which meant foiling her surprise, cause the guy was a blabbermouth.

"He should have been a journalist instead of a businessman." She said to no one in particular.

Then hunger hit in. She stood up, humming a tune while making her way lazily to the kitchen to find her staff running up and down, decorating the already sumptuous villa and cooking so many dishes that she felt her head twirling just from the list of ingredients.

"You should sit down Signora" Said one made as she pushed her gently to the couch, placing a few pillows behind her back and came back a few minutes later with a tray filled with so many delicacies that she felt her mouth water at that same instant. She placed a jar of water before her and the remote control next to her.

She was pretty sure that as soon as Elijah would hear about her pregnancy, the measures would be doubled. She imagined her family ganging up on her to make sure she didn't go to work. Imagining that made a small smile crawl to her face.

"Elijah..." She whispered longingly.

She picked her phone and after debating for a solid two minutes, smiling to herself, and telling herself she shouldn't be nervous about calling her husband, she dialed his number.

Her picked just after the first ring.

"Missing me already?" He asked in a teasing tone and she smiled.

"Yeah, when will you be back?"

"Well, I am about to go for the last meeting of my trip and I'll be back soon."

"Hurry up, I have a surprise for you" She said and he sighed dreamily.

"Does it involve you sprawled naked on the bed?"

"Is that all you think about Mr. Hales?"

"I'm always horny when it comes to you Sweetheart, you'll know the feeling when you'll be pregnant" He said and a long pause follow what he said. "Don't worry, I don' want..."

"What if I am pregnant like right now, what would be your reaction?" She asked, biting her thumbnail anxiously. Another excruciating silence followed before he cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, I'm running late, see you later" He said and disconnected the call.

Her eyes filled with tears after that call. Initially she was sure he would be thrilled but now, with this call, she felt her mood drop drastically, shattering against the hard surface of reality.

Elijah on the other hand wanted to reunited with his wife as soon as possible. If she was pregnant, well, he would be the happiest man in the whole universe this time. He didn't know why he hesitated to tell her. Maybe because he wanted to see for himself if what he had secretly wanted was true.

He knew she didn't have any birth control method and didn't buy some on purpose. He also didn't always protect himself, still on purpose. Oblivious intentions as it is only now he realized he craved to have a baby with woman he loved. But that wouldn't mean he would love Amelia any less. Just... He didn't have words to describe his feeling at that instant.

His mind was barely in the meeting and as soon as he was done, he rushed into his helicopter, rushing to finally have his wife in his arms. But huge was his surprise as soon as he landed to see the security guards he had hired on the floor, bleeding. Oh, he had a bad feeling about this, a very bad feeling.

An hour earlier,

Altagracia was done sulking... Or rather, she was done emptying her tray and stood up, deciding to get another fill, when a security guard barged inside the house, followed by gunshots outside. Her heart immediately skipped a beat as walked towards her.

"Signora, we have to leave, there..."

BANG! BANG!

Everything was moving too fast to her liking, warm blood splashing on her face, as the security guard fell, void of life, cries of fear, but most importantly, Orlando bloodshot eyes and crazed features.

"Hola, mi amor" He said with a sick grin.

******

*Hides behind the couch* I know I promised I wouldn't kill the mood again, but I just can't help it. The truth is the guy threatened to kill me if I just let him rot in prison. He demanded a mind blowing exit for the dignified psychotic villain he is and my role is to satisfy everyone. *smile sheepishly*

I'm sorry. *Bows apologetically*
