Veronica’s POV.

The darndest things happen when you aren't thinking of them.

Such as….

Well, let me explain.

I was seated and folding laundry and my phone beeped from across the bed.

I almost didn't hear it at first– the sound of the washing machine humming filled the room, the large afternoon sun poured in through the small kitchen window I was near, warming the entire house, causing me to sweat and short of breath.

I sensed the vibration from the first ring and glanced in the direction of my room.

“Someone’s calling,” I whispered underneath my breath as I jogged to the room. When I glanced at the screen, my breath left me all at once.

“Jason?”

For a second, my body reacted before my mind could catch up.

My finger went numb. My chest tightened the way it used to when I heard his keys in the door after a long day at work.

My feelings came crashing all at once. Everything settled in at once.

Jason had not called in weeks and now…

He deliberately waited after the divorce papers were f

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 39

    Veronica's POV. I woke up to silence.Not the comforting kind — not one of those.I woke up to the kind that released my eyes and ears until I noticed it. The room smelled faintly of an antiseptic and something woody beneath it, like a slap had been rinsed off me too quickly.My eyes fluttered open, slowly and heavily, my lashes sticking together as though sleep had tried to keep me longer than I allowed.I noticed White ceilings, pale walls and something beeping in my ear.‘The hospital.’ I thought, where else could it be?My first instinct was to move, to sit up and to prove that I could do everything without the world tilting sideways.My first attempt was too sudden, I failed, my head swam and my stomach tightened. A hand immediately pressed against my shoulder– firm and grounding with unmistakable confidence.“Easy.”Four's voice.Low and controlled, the same voice he used to give me instructions was now giving me comfort.How ironic.I felt out a breath I hadn't realised I was

    Jason Harper. Rhea was downstairs, nagging.“Every single time I think you're about to do something I like, you end up ruining it with something stupid, Jason! I thought you said you liked me, how could you like me if you keep acting this way?! How could you— tell me!”And when I did not respond as fast as she wanted me to, she yelled my name from the sitting room downstairs.Her voice echoed like a thunderous rage-filled hoarse rumble.I pressed my eyes shut tightly, praying for relief of some sort. My mind wandered to Veronica. How sweet and gentle she would have been when I did not do something she wanted.How kind her words were.How soft she stroked my beard when she wanted something done and how she always smiled when I did not do what she said.“Jason. My love..” she always started. “Please, baby, how about the thing I asked you to help me handle? Did you do it?”I’d shake my head and she would still smile at me.“Alright then, please help me handle it next time you're out.”N

    Veronica’s POV. “Four!”“I got you. Come.”His hands wrapped gently around me, my weight shifted to him, with a quick sweep, Four lifted me off the floor.The paparazzi crawled closer, their lights flashing to my eyes, zapping my vision.My hand instinctively covered my eyes, Four saw me. “Hey! Take your cameras off her or I swear to God, I'll break that thing.” He roared. The paparazzi, an older man, far fragile than Four, hesitated. Even after the second warning, he leaned in closer with his camera right in my face.“This is your last warning, old man.”And when He didn't listen, Four flung his free hand across the side. The other paparazzi were quicker, leaping back before four could reach them. The older man was not so lucky.When Four’s hand returned, his camera was shattered into pieces, lying wasted on the floor. Air escaped the old man's throat. He fell to his knees quickly. “What the hell did you just do?!”Four ignored him. His free hand supported my back. “That'll teach

    Veronica’s POV My stomach, with each passing day, grew like a child too well fed, the doctor said it was a sign of a healthy bump but my irk for an oversized belly didn't leave me.I loved my size from the front view but from the side, I looked like an overly grown baby seal.Ridiculous….Even Four laughed once when I stood in front of him holding my baby bump.“How many months is it now?” he asked.I shrugged casually. “Could be three or four. I'm not so sure.”I lied.It should have been four months and three weeks if I wasn't mistaken. I just did not want to share. Somehow, sharing meant I had to tell Four just how long I had been in his house.“It's wonderful that you're fine.”“Thanks.”“You're welcome.”“Yeah,” I said before I turned away.With the time we spent together, I thought we would at least be nicer to each other.Four was not as expressive as I thought he would be. In fact, he grew colder.By the end of our conversation, he grabbed some water and started down the ha

    Veronica's POV. “You have got to be kidding me.”Four’s eyebrows wiggled on the top of his head. He pointed to his biceps and then to my eyes. “You see how rock hard I am?”Rock hard?I wasn't expecting… what the heck he pointed at.I shouldn't have paused either. That was the beginning of my mistake.I should have brushed past him when I needed to and taken the sting with me from before.I took the chance to reach for something when I had the chance to but when Four said ‘Rock hard’, my body betrayed me before my mind could catch up.Heat rushed to my face, of course, my chest tightened. For one reckless sound, I thought– stupidly, foolishly– that maybe I'd been wrong about him.That may be the distance and the whole detachment I was trying to have for him, the careful way he was being with me… maybe there was more.I hated myself for how fast my hope bloomed with me.I hated how I forgot myself so easily with them. I turned back to him slowly, my voice barely steady. “What did you

    Veronica's POV. Day 2 of not giving a fuck even though I wanted to give many fucks…“I'll be going to the hospital today,” I told Four on my way to grab milk from the fridge.He didn't flinch. Barely even looked at me the second time.“Okay.”Okay?I took his comment like it was a shot to my chest, the fridge did not feel so cold when I dipped my hand inside, I grabbed the milk and poured the amount I needed before I slipped it back inside.“You're having cereal?”“Yes?” I raised a questioning brow. “Shouldn't I have cereal?”“Well, I heard the nurse say something about how fattening it can be when you become addicted to it. Weight gain is cool by me, I'm just saying.”My forehead wrinkled. I wasn't sure if he was genuinely concerned or trying to have a conversation with me since last night.“Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when next I'm taking cereal, I'm just running late right now and I need to eat.”“Alright.”I sat by the dining table eagerly, taking my phone out of its place.
