Beautiful Marriage

35. His cold heart.

Nathan

It's been so many days working hard to get everything back together​. I hardly have anytime at home and I'm​ so happy that she has Matt their with her. I have such dedicated persons working with, we have managed to print back all the issue and the magazines are being distributed in the minute. As a reward I will be having a New year's party for them instead. They were so happy to hear, I'm so proud of them. With a smile on my face I lay on the coach in my office trying to get some rest.

Now I can tell the world that I'm not married to Nora. I can't put it off anymore.

After an hour I woke up pulling the black case from my pocket, flicking the cover over looking at the shining ring. I have been carrying it around with me ever since I brought it. I can't wait to propose to her, to wed her in a way that we will remember forever.

I never knew someone else pain could affect me this much.

I know that I'm in love because this reality is better than my dreams. I am in love. I love her. I push the ring back in my jacket. I looked at the calendar on my phone today is the 24th of December and tomorrow I will be ruining my mother Christmas because it's time to announce to the world that I'm fucking in love with Ashley. My baby.

"Stop, you can't go in" I heard Heather voice snapping me from my thoughts. I focus my eyes to the door. I saw Heather pulling Lava.

What does big mouth Lava wants now.

"Heather it's okay." I tell her and she leave closing the door behind.

Lava walks towards me. "Sorry to run in here like this but Heather wouldn't let me in." She tells me.

"It's fine, what do you want?" I questioned. I hope it's not a raise of pay because we can't afford to do that now. Everyone will still be getting their Christmas bonus but I can't afford a raise of pay.

"I don't know if anyone had told you as yet.? She paused.

"Go on" I tell her.

"I want to be the first one to tell you congratulations." She smile at me. I smile back. I know no one could pull off what the team did.

"Yea" I nodd "the team did an amazing job."

"I'm not talking about that."

"Then what Lava?" I asked her.

"Congratulations, your going to become a dad." She rushed up to me hugging me. "I always wanted to hug you. You smell nice." I ignored that part. Lava doesn't know Ashley and Ashley can't be pregnant because I never went naked on her.

"What?" I asked her again because I can't seems to process this.

"Nora, I just heard her on the phone telling someone she's three months pregnant."

"Nora?" Who everyone thinks is my wife.

"Yes, she was leaving​ your mom office." Lava is the gossip queen of this place so I think she's telling the truth because she knew everyone business.

Nora is pregnant. The whole room begins to spin as I tried to process this news. Nora is pregnant.

This can't be happening. I know I never had sex with Nora but they won't know.

"Okay Lava thank you." I told her and she left. I walk to my desk and take out the half bottle of vodka from my desk and turned it to my head.

I make my way to the elevator and I can't wait for it to get to the top floor. It's moving too fucking slow. I tap my fingers on the elevator as I wait, impatiently​.
