Billionaire, Let's Divorce!

"Is she awake? Can I see her now?" I was finally able to make my vocals work

The doctor shook his head. "She is still asleep from the anesthesia she was administered. She will be transferred to a ward room now. Wait for a couple of minutes, she should be awake." "Thank you"

The doctor nodded, then he walked away.

I was in the reception, trying to remain patient as I waited for Bella to wake up when a nurse walked up to me, "Mr Mark. The woman you brought has been moved to a room and she is awake. If you are ready to see her now, I will save you to her ward"

I stood up and shook my head, "Take me there." She led the way and I followed her. We passed several other rooms before the doctor stopped

tears.

"I'm sorry, Mark."

I frowned. Why was she apologizing? I was about to ask and also tell her that she didn't need to apologize and that it wasn't her fault but her next words stopped me. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect our child." I felt the trembling of her voice that was rough from crying on my shoulder.

My hand automatically stopped parting her and I clenched my teeth. All the pity I felt for her abruptly drained, evaporated, replaced by the anger I had set aside.

She must have noticed my sudden stiffness because she pulled away. Her eyes roamed my face, taking in my expression. "Mark..." she sniffed, "Are you okay?"

As I looked at her, I wondered if I would ever be able to ignite the love I once had for this woman. I didn't even want to because sitting before me was a completely different person. I had fallen in love with whom she made me believe she was, not the one who toyed with my emotions and took advantage of my love.

"Why are you still lying?" I bit out. Her hand was grabbing the sides of my shirt I pulled it away and roughly set them on her lap. "Are you not tired? You just lost your pregnancy for fuck's sake yet you still intend to keep up with your deceit and lies."

She blinked. Then she sniffed and licked her lips. "What do you mean? What

are you say

I leapt out of the bed and stood before her, "Stop it, Bella. Stop it. I know everything." I paused and took in her reaction. Her eyes widened a fraction and that was it. I continued. "I know about you and Isaac. I know the pregnancy was not mine."

She looked away. She was quiet for a moment then she snapped her head to face me. Suddenly, the grieving woman was gone. Her frown was deep. coupled with her red eyes from crying, she looked like a desperate

crackhead. One that would do anything to get what she wants.

"Was it Sydney?" She asked furiously, her loud voice bounced off the room's walls. "It was that bitch, wasn't it? She told you all of this nonsense. Don't believe her! She's only trying to drive a wedge between us. As you know, she is single and unhappy. She wants to make us miserable like her."

So Sydney knew all about this? She knew all this, yet she stayed in the marriage and endured all the misunderstandings, the blames, the mistreatments... She accepted it all without complaining. Yet, when Bella came back without any form of appreciation or remorse for what her selfishness had put her sister in, Sydney still held onto her secret. Any other person would have been driven with rage and blurted out her secret to me.... but she didn't. Instead, she quietly left. I wondered who else knew. Or maybe I was even the only one in the dark.
