After the Divorce, I Became Untouchable
On our wedding night, instead of consummating our marriage, he gave me papers to sign instead. It stated that our marriage would last only for five years and after that, we go our separate ways. His words broke me but regardless I signed the papers.
I thought I had enough time to make him fall in love with me but who was I kidding, his heart still belongs to my step sister, Rachael. She was his first love, but he was mine.
I endured his mother's oppression, his coldness, for years I thought he was naturally uncaring and only had eyes for his business but I was brutally wrong.The same day I found out that I was pregnant was also the same day I saw his soft side. A side that's well reserved for someone else, there and then he asked for a divorce. It broke me but I didn't beg, I had wasted almost five years yearning for a love I couldn't have.
So I decided to walk away and begin a new life with my child. But who could have taught that a year later, the cold and ruthless CEO would be on his knees begging for a second chance.

Chapter: Chapter 4 ***Daniel's POV***I held Rachael gently as we entered the living room. Looking up I met three shocked faces, ignoring them, I led Rachel to the sofa to sit down.The noise from the wheels of Rachael's suitcase interrupted the tension in the room."Mrs. Wilson, take Rachael's luggage to the guest room on the top floor and prepare a bath for her." I ordered.When I heard no movement, I turned around to see Mrs. Wilson still rooted to the floor with the mouth hanging open probably still in shock. "Didn't you hear me?" I snapped."Yes sir.. I mean I'll take the suitcase upstairs now." She replied, then hurriedly took the suitcase and left."Who do we have here? Daniel you didn't tell me you're bringing someone home." my mom stated, slowly walking close to me.I wondered why she was still here. I love her but sometimes she is overbearing, the last thing I need in this house is drama."Mom, this is my friend Rachael." I answered.She didn't spare Rachael a single glance. Wit

Chapter: Chapter 3 ***Emma's POV***Divorce? Did I hear that right? "Who's getting a divorce?" I asked, unable to make sense of anything. Daniel's face quickly contoured in displeasure. "Don't act dumb, Emma. I know you understand what I mean." "But I really don't understand." I insisted.We stood there looking at each other for about 30 seconds before Daniel finally moved and gently placed Rachael on one of the waiting chairs. He then turned and faced me, looking all serious."Look, Emma, I know this is coming all of a sudden, and I'm sorry for telling you like this." he moved closer and placed his hand on my shoulder as if he was consoling me.I looked at his hand on my shoulder. This was the first time in forever since he had initiated a physical touch between us. Ironically, it was when he was asking me for a divorce."Why? Why are you doing this?" I asked, my throat tightened painfully. I thought about the child in my belly. I thought this would be a new beginning for us."Emma

Chapter: Chapter 2 ***Emma's POV***I sat in front of the doctor’s desk, many thoughts swirling in my mind.“Doctor, what is wrong with me?”I had undergone some tests immediately upon entering the hospital, including a pregnancy test. Now I sat nervously, waiting for the doctor to predict my fate.“Ma’am, you need to calm down. Nothing is wrong with you,” he said, picking up the file in front of him. “From the tests we conducted, it shows that you are four weeks pregnant.”Many emotions erupted in my chest; relief, joy, and hope. I opened my mouth to speak but couldn’t utter a word. Finally, after four years of marriage, I had something to show for it. I was finally pregnant. Tears of joy fell from right?” I asked, wiping my tears. “There’s a baby inside me?”The doctor nodded. “I’m guessing this is your first pregnancy?” he asked, lifting his gaze from the file.“Yes, yes, this is my first pregnancy.”“Okay…” He leaned forward. “Earlier, you complained about bleeding, weakness, and pai

Chapter: Chapter 1 *** Emma POV***“What the hell are you doing up there, Emma?” Susan’s voice roared from downstairs.I leaned over the toilet, breathing slowly until the nausea finally stopped. I rinsed my mouth, splashed water on my face, and quickly wiped my face.“I'm coming.” I yelled back.For the past few days my body had been somewhat strange and heavy. My lower back ached constantly, and I always felt tired no matter how much rest I took. I flushed the toilet, and went downstairs quickly.When I entered the dining room, Daniel was already sitting. He has an impatient look on his face, his briefcase was resting beside him, and his phone was in his hand.Susan, my mother in-law was sitting across from him, giving me her usual unimpressed look.“Emma,” she said sharply, “it’s early in the morning and you cannot even serve your husband breakfast before he leaves for work?”“I have already finished cooking,” I replied feeling annoyed that they couldn't notice how exhausted I looked.
