Chapter 6: “I'm Pregnant”

Suzanne's pov:

“You are leaving me all alone?” I frowned. “Is there something you need from me?” he questioned nonchalantly, taking up his keys from the table.

“You have the housekeeper at your disposal.” I pressed my lips against each other.

“I need to get what you are not giving me. I need to quench my thirst.”

My jaw twitched in irritation. “Is this what our marriage will look like?” I murmured.

“Well, who knows? You agreed not to question my decisions and follow my instructions, did you not?”

The question pinged my chest. A familiar ache I had felt before. My eyes crowded with tears as I bent my head, trying to hide my emotions.

What did I expect? He said no strings attached till our aim had been achieved and we got the divorce.

“Do you want me to stay?” he asked, raising my head with his hand on my chin. “Do whatever you want, I do not have the right to tell you anything,” I replied softly, removing his hand from my chin.

He chuckled slightly and walked out of the sitting room. In my mind, he was gone, so I took a deep breath and started looking for a way to make myself feel better.

“Get dressed, you are coming with me.” I rolled my eyes in the direction of his voice.

“To where?” my brows furrowed. He pulled me out of the chair. “You don't want to be left alone right?” he tilted his head and bit his lower lip.

“Well, I don't want to leave you alone either,” he said, turning his back to me. A slight feeling of excitement and nervousness welled up inside me.

“You are going to wear something classy yet dark. I do not want you on the front pages.” I raised one eyebrow to his request whilst flaring my nose.

As he left the room some ladies stepped in. “We'll take care of your looks Mrs. Khan. Please stay still,” the fair lady who I think was in charge of the group said. I nodded gently.

Just then, Dominic's phone beeped and I rushed to get the phone to him, glancing through the screen as I walked towards him, I saw a message: “I'm pregnant, and I need to see you urgently.”—-Rachel.

My heart ached down to my lower abdomen, giving me a painful sensation I had never expected.

He appeared speedily and snatched the phone from me. “Never touch my phone again,” he ordered and walked out.

‘What just happened?’

Dominic’s pov:

The dim lights of the upscale hotel glimmered as we walked in, we made our way to the elevator, and the chauffeur greeted me as if I was one of their VIPs.

“Look up,” I told Suzanne as her head was down.

“As you walk in there you have to look confident, Is that clear?” I said in a commanding tone, she nodded in response, “Good”.

“I need to use the bathroom,” she said in a whisper. I let out a sigh and ordered the chauffeur to show her the bathroom Immediately we got to the Floor.

“Meet me at table 19,” I said as I walked out of the elevator. “The great Dominic Khan, it is so nice of you to finally grace us with your presence,” I smiled as I heard the familiar voice.

“Oscar, I never knew you were in town,” I said as we shook hands. “Well you know me, I always try to…..” his words trailed off and his eyes looked in a different direction.

Then I noticed the whole casino went silent, I followed the trail of their eyes, to see a lady come down the stairs, looking around I could see the admiration in their eyes, some even gasped.

I took a good look and I saw it was Suzanne. Why does she look so different? I did not really pay attention to her while we were leaving the house or even when we got to the hotel.

The black dress hugged her body and showed her curves perfectly. She looked around until our eyes met, she walked slowly to me with a small smile and her head held high.

“Behave,” Oscar said, “She’s coming this way”. I smiled knowing my wife was taking all the attention.
