Chapter 8

Layla Patel

~•~

I stayed in the hospital for exactly forty-eight hours.

Yet, Lucas didn’t even care to reach out to me. I even texted him about the baby, but he ignored my text. I tried calling him a few more times but he still didn’t answer.

I felt so devastated.

Olivia had been by my side throughout everything. She even put her other activities on hold, just to stay with me at the hospital.

“Are you ready to leave?” Olivia’s voice interrupted me from my thoughts.

“Yes,” I responded, running my fingers through my hair.

The doctor had discharged me but she asked that I visit the hospital regularly, so they would keep an eye on my baby.

Olivia assisted me as we both walked out of the hospital.

“Are you sure you want to go back to that house? You can stay at my place instead.” Olivia asked as we settled down in her car.

She didn’t want me to go back to Lucas’s house. But I didn’t want to listen to her. Maybe Lucas would have sympathy for me a

    Chapter 7 Layla Patel ~•~ “What?” I asked, my voice cracking slightly. Lucas already mentioned something about proposing to her, but I had no idea it was so soon. I hadn’t even signed the papers. Technically, we were still married. “Yes, Layla. Send me your location, I’ll meet you at the hospital.” “But what of the baby? Our baby?” I asked, my voice barely audible. “Layla! Just send the location. We will talk about everything in person.” Olivia added with a sense of urgency in her voice. I exhaled heavily and nodded. “Okay, I’ll send it right away,” I responded with tears in my voice. After the call ended, I sent Olivia a PIN of my exact location. I was tempted to check the news, but I knew it wasn’t a good idea. I was already hurt and looking at the comments would break me even further. My heart was racing as I thought about everything. I felt an excruciating pain in my chest that wouldn’t go away. I decided to try Lucas’s number again. Maybe he would

    Chapter 6 Layla Patel ~•~ As I opened my eyes, my gaze wandered around an unfamiliar room. The sterile smell of disinfectant filled the air, making my stomach churn. It didn’t take long before I realized I was in a hospital. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my head, making me wince. I fell back to the pillow, my mind racing with different unanswered questions. What happened to me? How did I end up at the hospital? Who had brought me there? I let out a relieved sigh when the room door finally swung open. I watched as a nice-looking lady in a white lab coat walked into the room. I guessed she was the doctor. “What am I doing here?” I asked before she could even say anything. A wide smile was plastered across her face. “Don’t stress yourself, sit back on the bed.” She instructed calmly as I tried to get up again. “You don’t want anything to happen to the baby.” My eyes grew wide in surprise. “What? What do you mean?” I asked, my voice laced with c

  • Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Revenge   5. Bad Choices

    5 Layla Patel ~•~ Would he really ask the security to throw me out if I refused to sign the papers? So he wasn’t joking? It wasn’t a prank? He actually wanted me to sign the papers and end the marriage? My chest tightened and I felt an excruciating pain as I thought about everything. I wanted to run after him. I wanted to talk to him and make him realize that he was making a mistake. But I was too stunned to even speak. It felt like my legs were glued to the ground. I couldn’t move. I was starting to realize how real it was - how serious Lucas was. He didn’t even have an ounce of sympathy for me. He didn’t care about how I felt. He only thought about himself. I picked up my phone and called my best friend again. “He said he would ask security to help me out if I’m still at the house when he returns from work.” My voice was shaking as I told her about it. Olivia sighed. “So you still won’t sign it?” I exhaled heavily as I ran my hands through my hair. “

    4 Layla Patel ~•~ I always knew that you couldn’t love someone into loving you. But I always had this glimpse of hope that somehow, Lucas would eventually fall in love with me. But since Sophia was back in his life, all my hopes were shattered. Even if he thought the best thing to do was end our marriage, I wasn’t ready to give up just yet. He was about to make a mistake and couldn’t just agree and sign the divorce papers. I wasn’t prepared to let go of him. I wasn’t ready to be a single woman. I still wanted to be his wife. Normally, I didn’t care what the public had to say. But this time, I didn’t want people to say that Sophia won. I mean, Lucas wasn’t a prize, but I was tired of the constant comparison between me and his ex-girlfriend. Anyone who knew what was happening would see me as desperate. I always knew I was being desperate but it was the best thing to do. I had nowhere else to go. I thought about contacting his family, so they would talk to him o

    3 Lucas Brown ~•~ Layla knew exactly what she was getting into when she agreed to be my wife. Throughout our three years together, I never led her on or even gave her any hope that I might fall in love with her. She knew that my heart belonged to Sophia. Sophia was my first love. She was the only woman I had fallen in love with throughout my twenty-six years on earth. But my family didn’t approve of Sophia. By my family, I meant my grandmother. She always made it clear that she wouldn’t be in support of my relationship if I ever considered starting a family with Sophia. My grandmother wanted me to settle down with a good and quiet girl. She didn’t like Sophia’s line of work because she felt she was too exposed to the world. She had no idea that Sophia’s exposure was exactly what I needed to make the family business thrive. I needed all the publicity I could get. I loved my grandmother and she knew I would always listen to her. So I had no option but to marry
