Abandoned

Chapter 24: New Life

"I'm actually pregnant again..." I murmured, but loud enough for James to hear. I started twiddling my thumbs. I slowly looked at his face to see his reaction. As expected, big eyes... Jaw dropped... That shocked reaction.

"When? How does it happen? Who's the father?" Millions of questions started to blurt put in one go. I took a deep breath before answering, scared I might cry again after saying his name.

"It happened a few weeks before we go to LA. That time when I lost the first one, I was depressed. But then he came out with an idea on how I might lose that. So we kinda did that... Again. So yeah, Chris is the father." I said to him briefly. James just nodded and stared at me for awhile, I knew deep down in his brain, he's thinking what to say next.

He sighed and replied me, "Still, I'm gonna be with you. No matter what."

That flatters me a little. At least I have someone to protect me. I smiled to myself. Suddenly, James put his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm gonna grab a quick shower then we will have lunch. Wanna help me later?" He got up from the sofa, walking towards the bathroom. Before I could reply, my phone beeped. James stopped his tracks and looked at my phone that is on top of the coffee table. I don't even dare to take my phone as I'm scared that might be Chris. So James took it.

He passed through my passcode to my phone and started to read my text messages. He then showed me the text message shortly after he read it. I leaned closer to my phone and read.

'Hey, I'm filing in for divorce... Don't ask me why. You know it yourself. -Chris.'

I just looked at it. I heard James called my name multiple times. I stick out my finger, asking him to quieten down for awhile. I sighed and suddenly a tear came out from my eyes. I quickly wiped it away. Why would I be crying over Chris? Fine by me if he wants to leave me. Right now, I'm acting as if I'm a vampire that just lost my humanity. I looked at James, ready to come by my side to comfort me. It's weird that I'm not crying right now and I'm proud of myself. Suddenly, I speak up.

"Replied him an okay. Fuck his billionaire life. I'm gonna start a brand new normal one." I said, checking my nails. I could sense James is shocked with my answer but I don't really care. I don't want to waste my time, crying over a guy that doesn't want me anymore. So I decided to start fresh as if I was just been given birth by my mom to the earth.

*Chris' POV*

'Hey, I'm filing in for divorce... Don't ask me why. You know it yourself. -Chris'.

After I texted her that, I put my phone at the side of my office table. I plunged myself at the comfortable office chair and rest both of my arms to support my resting chin. I looked at our wedding photo when I first time kissed her as her husband, under the rain. I must say it's romantic but... Not for long. I groaned and lay the picture frame flat, face first so I don't need to see her. Natalie is still upstairs and I don't know what the fuck she's doing. And I'm right here, thinking how to get rid of her in my mind.

I sighed in frustration. I got up and went upstairs to her closet room. She indeed have tons of clothes, that I bought for her. I gently touched the material of one of my favourite dresses she worn. I then realized that I actually shouldn't fall for her anymore. I mentally scold myself and started to take a big black plastic bag.

Instead of burning it, I just decided to throw all her stuff away. I took all her clothes and dumped it all inside the plastic bag. I even took her accessories, her shoes, anything related to her or hers. After done throwing all her stuffs, I bring it near the front door. Before I could take another bag full of her things, the doorbell rang. I groaned and went to open the door.

"Good afternoon Christopher!" My mom ranted. Great, my mom's here. Luckily it's just her... Not that Will guy or else, more trouble. She opened her arms, asking me to hug her. I eventually hugged her, show her some love.

"So where's Melissa? I want to meet her. It's been so long and also today's her birthday." She searched around the house. Wait, what does she say? Her birthday? Oh my god, this is why Melissa is so mad because I kinda cheated her with Natalie. Fuck. She's gonna think that the whole situation is her present. But I cannot go to the past now. Argh, god dammit!

"Chris? Where's Melissa? And why is there plastic bags at the side of the door?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest, waiting for an answer. I sighed and gladly answered her, "she's not living with me anymore. We separated."

Her eyes widened. As expected... And of course the next thing is she's gonna ask the 5W1H questions. And I was right.

"How? Oh my god. When?" She blurted out those questions in one go. I took a seat on the U-shaped sofa in the living room. She then joined in and sit beside me, still having the shocked face.

"Well, she found me sleeping with Natalie and it happened just a while ago." I said bluntly, doesn't feel guilty at all. Her expression changed. It's from bad to worst. Without warning, she slapped me. Hard. It hurts though.

"How dare you! Don't you even care about her feelings? She's your wife, and you once told me that she's the first girl that makes you happy!" She retorted, standing up and started walking back and forth. I just looked down, pretending not to hear. But then suddenly, my mom started to blurt out again but not at me.

"You bitch! Because of you, this happens! Fuck you and get out of the house! Now. I mean it!" She moved in closer to Natalie. She slapped her, making Natalie's cheeks to turn red. I advanced towards my mom and hold her back. I looked at Natalie. Tears had formed around her eye region. The slap must hurt a lot.

"Natalie. Get some rest and go home. I handled my mom from here." I advised her. She just nodded and walked out of the house. I turned my mom's back so that I can see her facial expression which is going to be scary.

"Chris. Where's your phone?" She asked nicely. That's weird. Why would she want my phone?

"Why you need it?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I want Melissa's number." She replied. She started to walk around the house again to find my phone this time.

"I don't have her number. I put it as unknown."

"Chris, I will not repeat again. Where's your phone!" Her voice started to rise up. I sighed in defeat and told her it's on top of my office table at the home office. She bust through the door and quickly took my phone. She unlocked my phone and started to search for Melissa contact number. I leaned against the wall, waiting for her to finish her business.

She saved it on her phone and started to detect Melissa with the special GPS on her phone. She smiled as if she just won an award. Obviously she get her location. She walked out of the room, leaving me behind. I followed her and turned out she's ready to leave. She stopped her tracks and turned her head to see me.

"I will not forgive you unless you accept Melissa back. Not that Barbie bitch you slept with yesterday." She warned, before slamming the front door which leave a loud echo. I just stood there, thinking whether I should do it or not.
