Chapter 1) Pregnant.

Author Tina Nwuba:

So guys, welcome to the continuation of “Heart of a Betrayed Wife”. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠).

Most of the dramas in this book are going to take place in the main city of the story. ‘Blenka city’.

I'm going to try my best to make this story worth your time.

So, stick around to the end!

Katherine's pov,

Everything was a shock to me. I still see everything while awake. And even in my sleep, I haven't stopped dreaming about it.

It happened a year ago, but it felt like it was yesterday.

I had uploaded the evidence of the evil deeds Valentina had committed. Of how she killed my mother, and the other hideous crimes she had committed. But, who would have thought that after deciding to go to the cell to humiliate her, I was going to find out that she had killed herself.

That was such a headache for me, because I honestly didn't expect or believe that she was capable of doing such a thing to herself.

I got out of bed and let out a long yawn as I made my way to the balcony of my penthouse. As I stared outside the building, I ran my fingers through my hair, before I ruffled my hair.

“Shit, shit, shit!”. I groaned and didn't let go of my hair.

This time, it was not because of Valentina, as I figured it was time for me to let go of her and the pain she had caused me.

I dipped my hand inside my pajamas pocket and took out the pregnancy test stick.

The more I stared at the two red lines, the more my head twisted as I tried to remember what happened to me a month ago when I went for a business trip.

But no matter how much I tried to remember, I didn't know how it happened.

All I remembered was that, after waking up in the morning, I found myself lying on the bed, and there was a little blood stain on the bed.

I can remember how horrified I felt, and how my heart pounded in fear as I imagined the worst. I feared that I had been raped by someone.

But, I had not noticed any signs of struggling in my body. And especially my neck was covered with hickeys.

I frowned. “Who is responsible for this?”. I muttered, and the thought of aborting the child lingered inside my head.

Though I felt weak about it, because I wasn't able to imagine myself going to the hospital and getting an abortion.

I sighed deeply as I was lost thinking and had lost the appetite to eat even the simplest breakfast I could think of.

But just then, my cell phone rang and stole my attention.

It was sitting there on the table, so I went ahead and picked it up.

I answered the call.

“Boss Katherine, there's a problem!”. The panicked voice of my assistant came through, causing me to move the cell phone a little further away from my ear, because I felt my ear was going to bleed if I left the cell phone any closer.

Massaging my temples, I asked her, “What happened?”.

I sounded uninterested, as I had woken up on the bad side of bed.

I could not sleep well last night, and only fell asleep in the middle of thinking about how my future was going to be if I had the child.

I knew humans. They had unpredictable hearts and could be monsters.

So, they were certainly going to gossip about the baby's dad. And such a life was not what I had planned for my future baby, if I were going to have any.

“Our special lipstick combo packages which were supposed to be launched today have been launched!”. She exclaimed, but her words made the frown on my face deepen, since I didn't understand why she was panicking.

“And so?”. I asked her, while fighting the urge not to hang up the call on her.

Honestly, I wasn't in the mood to be bothered by anyone, and would pretty much appreciate staying at home.

“I- what I mean to say is that the product was launched, but it wasn't by our company! Another company did it. They stole our designs!”. She yelled, causing my eyes to widen.

“What?”. I said, and instantly, the anger of having my product plagiarized... The same product I had spent so much effort and time on, made the blood in my veins boil.

“I'm on my way”. I added and hung the call, without letting her say more. I didn't even bother to ask her what company did such a shameless thing.

I walked to the bed and tossed my cell phone there, before I went into the bathroom. “You are in big trouble for messing with me at a time like this, whoever you are. You are going to regret this”. I said with darkened eyes.
