CHAPTER ONE

CHAPTER ONE - HEARTBREAK.

Amelia's POV

“Congratulations, Mrs. Davidson. You are four months pregnant.” Doctor Lilian informed me with a bright smile on her face.

“Pregnant? Doctor, are you sure? I can't have children. The fertility results said so.” I countered the Doctor's news. I didn't want to get too excited over nothing.

Doctor Lilian flipped through the files on her desk and she glanced up at me. “I'm so sorry, Amelia. The results we gave you were meant for a different Amelia. Forgive the inefficiency of my staff.” Doctor Lilian gave me a tight smile, and she handed a white envelope to me.

“So I'm pregnant, Doctor. I'm not infertile. I can have babies.” I babbled all at once. My expression was one of absolute joy and I was having a hard time keeping my excitement to myself.

Doctor Lilian grinned, standing on her feet and opening her arms wide. I rushed to hug her while my heart thumped with adrenaline.

I swatted my hair backwards and rubbed it on my flat abdomen. Picking up my bag, which I'd stowed on the table, I carefully tucked the letter inside it.

“I have to get home right now. Jeremy will be so thrilled. He's been wanting to hear this news for ages. Thank you so much, Doctor.” I rushed out of the doors smiling like a lunatic.

I got into my car and headed home. While I drove, I kept glancing at my bag like it would disappear. The letter, safely hidden in the confines of my bag, was the only proof to my husband.

The gatekeeper swung the gates open when I arrived. On a normal day, I'd chat with him and offer him some spare cash but not today.

I got out of the car, holding my bag tightly as I entered the mansion where I lived with my husband. I wasn't exaggerating. We lived in a freaking mansion.

It was all part of Jeremy's inheritance since his family was wealthy. The ‘Calloways’ were considered one of the most powerful and high-ranking families in New York. They had a chain of businesses scattered across the globe.

“Yes, Baby… Just like that.”

I halted in my tracks at the sound of the familiar voice. I knew Jeremy stayed home to work today, but then who was the person with the voice? It sounded female. But no. Jeremy couldn't invite a female over while I was away.

With the reassurance that my husband would never cheat on me, I pushed the door to the room open and the scene in front of me came into view.

A red haired lay sprawled out on our matrimonial bed and Jeremy's was sucking her left nipple into his mouth. They were both naked.

My bag fell to the ground landing with a soft thud. Uhm… What did I say about my husband not being able to cheat on me again? I take that back.

“Baby, please. Amelia, it's not what it looks like. I… I can explain.” Jeremy climbed out of the bed, his dick dangling as he made to touch my arm.

“It's not what it looks like? I just saw you sucking another woman's nipple, Jeremy. What's your explanation for that?” I asked with a broken voice.

“Baby, you are infertile. Look around you, Amelia. Luxury, wealth. If you cannot give me an heir to inherit my wealth, what good are you?” Jeremy shrugged, bumping my shoulders and leaving the room.

I couldn't believe my ears. He cheated on me because he thought I was infertile? Fuck Jeremy. I wiped the tears from my face and walked to my closet. Grabbing my suitcase, I shoved my clothes into the suitcase, panting heavily while u fought tears.

“You know, he loves you. He just wants a child and he knows you can never give him one.” The red haired bitch on the bed spoke.

“Shut up! Don't you dare interfere. Just get out.” I yelled, tears spilling out of my eyes at the impact of my yell. She flinched and hurriedly exited the room with her clothes in her hand.

“Argh!” I let out an ear-splitting scream, pulling at my hair and ignoring the pain it caused my scalp. More tears left my eyes and I dropped to the floor, sobbing like a baby.

I'd been married for two years. When the first year passed and no issue, Jeremy's family grew impatient. But he had stood up for me. Countless times when his mum had visited and called me names, Jeremy was my backbone. He had believed that one day we would have a child.

But then the fertility results came and I was declared infertile. That night had been the worst night of my life. But Jeremy stuck with me. He had whispered words of comfort to me and made sure I didn't starve myself.

“There's no use crying, Amelia. I had to do something. Believe me when I say this is the first time I've had sex with a woman that's not you since we got married.” Jeremy said from the doorway where he stood.

I sniffed, building my courage and got back on my feet. Next thing I did was take my suitcase and I pushed past Jeremy. I needed to get out of this mansion.

When I started my car, Jeremy didn't try to stop me. I took one last glance at the mansion before driving away. I'd crash at my friend's home until I could get back on my feet, and maybe I would finally get the courage to go back to my immediate family.

The ones I had abandoned two years ago.

What would my Nana say? Probably ‘I told you sorry’. Or she'd smack my head and ask me to make Japanese tea for her as a peace offering.

A sad smile found its way to my lips. I was heartbroken, yeah, but I still had a family that loved me.

“Don't worry, twinkle. Mummy's got this’ I glanced down at my belly.
