Linda's POV

Two pink lines stared back at me, clear and undeniable.

Positive.

I sat frozen on the toilet seat, the weight of my situation pressing down on me like heavy rocks.

My hands shook as I dropped the test stick on the floor, staring at the pink lines as if they would magically disappear.

I was pregnant.

I let out a breath, my mind racing as I tried to remember the events of that night. They still weren't clear.

I gripped the edges of the toilet seat, trying to ground myself against the wave of panic that was rising in me.

“Linda?” My mum called, “Are you okay in there?”

“I'm fine!” I forced out, my voice cracking.

“You've been in there for a while now, I'm assuming the test was positive.”

I chuckled, of course my mum would figure it out.

I opened the bathroom door slowly and stepped out to see my mum seated on the bed waiting for me with her arms crossed and a knowing expression on her face.

“Mum I..” I started but she raised her hands up to stop me.

  • The billionaire's little secret    CHAPTER NINE

    Linda's POV I stood at the kitchen door and watched my mother, the smell of freshly baked apple pie wafting through the air.She was humming softly, her back facing me as she moved around the oven.My heart pounded against my ribs as I imagined how she would react when I told her.But I had to, I couldn't let her believe I was pregnant for Scott, even though the truth was much worse.“Mum,” I started, my voice a little above a whisper and she turned to me with a smile.“I didn't know you were back, How was the interview?”“It was good, I hope I get the job.”“You will, dear,” she replied. “And if you don't get that one, I'm sure they're others that are yet to call for an interview.”“That's true,” I said, nodding slowly.“Can we talk?” I asked, looking at my feet. Her smile faded and she turned off the oven and wiped her hands with a towel. “Is everything alright? Is it the baby?”“It's not the baby, well it is but not what you think.” I answered, avoiding her gaze.“So what is it t

  • The billionaire's little secret    CHAPTER SEVEN

    Laura's POVIt made me sick.The golden chandeliers, the flowers, the soft music playing in the background.It was disgustingly perfect, I felt like I was going to vomit.A celebration built on betrayal. Everyone looked so happy, the hall was buzzing with excitement and joy. I looked around at the guests, roughly a month ago, some of them had gathered at Scott's wedding, with the same excitement they were showing now.Except it was a different bride and the wedding didn't hold.I couldn't fake a smile if I tried. I wasn't there to celebrate, I was there for answers and to make Scott Shepherd and Cynthia whatever her name was squirm in their perfectly polished shoes.Draped in a dark green dress that hugged my curves I moved through the crowd, some of the audience recognized me, most of them our school mates, their eyes widened with shock as they whispered to each other.I knew what they were thinking. What is she doing here? Is she going to cause a scene?My initial plan was to make

  • The billionaire's little secret    CHAPTER SIX

    Linda's POV I stared at the screen for some time, contemplating whether I should accept the call or not.My fingers hovered over the decline button but I couldn't bring myself to press it.A part of me wanted to answer, to know what he had to say. But another side of me was too angry to hear his voice.The phone rang again, vibrating violently in my hand.“Get it over with,” I whispered, swiping the accept option and taking the phone to my ear.For a moment, there was nothing from the other end. Only silence.“Scott?” I said hesitantly.Then I heard a female voice, “Wow! She actually picked up,” followed by a laugh.I didn't need to guess who it was. Cynthia.She was speaking to someone in the background.“She's obviously not over you Scott,” she said loudly in a mocking tone.My heart dropped when I heard another voice– a deep, familiar voice. I knew who it was immediately. Scott.It felt like a dagger was twisting in my stomach.The sound of their laughter grew louder on the phone,

  • The billionaire's little secret    CHAPTER FIVE

    Linda's POV The air in the sitting room felt heavy and suffocating. My mother’s voice sounded so distant as she called out to me.“Linda? Are you okay?” I couldn't answer, my throat tightened as I bent down to pick up the card.Maybe I had imagined it, If I took another look maybe…I hadn't imagined it. The names Scott Shepherd and Cynthia Ryle burned into my eyes as I took another look at the card.It couldn't be real. No, it didn't feel real.The sound of blood rushing to my ears drowned out everything around me.The weight of the betrayal was just too much to bear.First, he left me on the wedding day, and now he was marrying Cynthia. Cynthia!“Linda?” my mother said again, her hands reaching out to steady me.I shook my head, pulling away from her as I moved towards the couch and sat down.I looked down at the card, my fingers were clenched so tightly around it that I was close to tearing it.“Linda, what's going on?” My mother asked slowly, sitting beside me on the couch.I pas

  • The billionaire's little secret    CHAPTER FOUR

    Linda's POV “Listen, Linda,” Laura said, squeezing my hand to bring me back to the present. I looked up at her as she leaned back on her chair, studying me. “Look I know waking up next to some stranger you don't know is…..weird. But it happens. You don't have to stress yourself over it.” I frowned, staring down at my coffee. “It doesn't just happen Laura, and it feels wrong.” “But it's not wrong though, is it? Because you're single, that bastard Scott left you and you don't owe him any loyalty.” Laura said bluntly, frustration evident in her tone. “For years, he controlled everything, your life, your choices, everything! Maybe this wasn't ideal, but for once just let go.” “H..He wasn't controlling me,” I stuttered, startled by her outburst. “Yes, yes he did,” Laura replied. “you got offered admission to MIT, your dream school, but you decided to go all the way to California because of that bastard.” “But you were also going to California,”I answered. “Was it because
