The billionaire's trifling romance:Her revenge

"You're pregnant." The sound of the doctor's voice sprang me up from my lying position into a sitting position.

"What??!!" I exclaimed happily while beaming a smile at the doctor

"Well, you seem to be happy about it, so congratulations, Samantha." The doctor said, smiling down at me on the bed I was sitting on

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much, I can't wait to tell my husband the good news" I said while trying to find my cell phone.

"Do you remember where you were before being rushed in...you were found passed out on the floor at the subway station" the doctor explained with a tone of worry "and when you got here we tried calling your emergency contact but no one answered their phone" he added moving towards the door to close it to avoid people outside from hearing our conversation

"Ohhh yeah, my husband is a very busy person, he might have been in a meeting when you called him...I probably shouldn't call him now either, I'll just tell him the good news when I get home" I stated while stopping my search for the phone, while wanting to lie back down on the bed

"But your husband wasn't the only person we called, we called someone else but they didn't answer their phone either" he said leaving the door and moving into the center of the room

"Oh, that must have been my mother-in-law, she's also a very busy person. But you have nothing to worry about...I mean I'm alright anyway, so there's no need to bother them." I kept trying to ignore the conversation but he just wouldn't listen

"Well...we still need to run some tests to know how old the baby is, it will probably be in the first trimester so you need to be extra careful because the first trimester is the most dangerous for babies. I will also need you to come register for antenatal care with your husband so we can monitor the baby till it's time for your delivery" the doctor explained with a serious look on his face

"Wow...you're talking like some professional now huh Jamie" I said while laughing to ease the tension in the room

"Of course I'm a professional, I'm the number one doctor in our whole hospital." He stated while patting his head

"Are you seriously bragging right now?" I asked with a little ease coming to me seeing that he wasn't talking about my husband anymore

"Become a doctor and see if you won't brag" he said while smirking.

"You know I was way brighter than you when we were in school, if I had become a doctor too, I would be number one and you'd be number two" I stated jokingly.

"And that would have been better than you abandoning your studies to marry a man who doesn't even care about you." Great, he went back to the topic I was trying to avoid again.

Silence fell over the hospital room... He must have regretted what he said.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that" he said while scratching the back of his head with one hand

I immediately tried to brush it off by saying.

"It's fine... because it's not true anyway. My husband loves me, he just doesn't know how to show it." I tried to convince him, or was I trying to convince myself?

"Sammy, what husband doesn't remember his wife's birthday? What husband doesn't know how to show his affection to his wife? What husband doesn't pick up the phone when his wife calls multiple times? You could have been in grave danger today but he didn't even take your calls or even call back to know what's going on. His family is the same too, not one of them cares about you" he queried while finally sitting on the chair in front of my bed.

"Look, Jamie, it's not like that...they're just busy, that's all. My husband is always worried about me and so is his family" I answered trying to clear my family's name of the false accusations but was it false

"Do they even consider you family..." He tried to continue but I cut him off.

"Enough, Jamie, I'm not getting mad at you because you're my childhood friend, but there are certain lines you shouldn't cross." I said while getting out of bed, "I can go home, right?!? I'll process the discharge myself. And I'll make sure to come with my husband for the antenatal for you to know just how much he cares for me." I added in hopes that something won't go wrong and Ethan would actually make it for the antenatal care.

"Fine. But why did you even go to the subway station anyway?" He questioned while trying to open the door for me to go out.

"My mother-in-law sent me on an errand" I answered

"What did she..."

"I'm not answering that...you don't have to know. Once the test results are out, you can email them to me or send them to my house. Bye, Jamie." I said while waving him off at the door.

***

It was already 6:00pm when I got home, and my husband would be back from work soon. I should make his favourite meal to set the mood for the good news I'm about to tell him.

I finished cooking, but he still wasn't back, so I set the table and sat at the dining table to wait for him.

I finally heard the sound of his car three hours later...thank goodness.

"Welcome honey..." I said not able to hide the joy in me. I was smiling from ear to ear.

"Yea..." He said while heading straight to the bedroom

"Oh you must be tired, did your boss make you work overtime again??? Do you want to take a shower or eat first?" I asked while taking his bag and suit jacket.

"I'll just take a shower and go to bed, I'm really tired today, and I have to go to work early tomorrow," he stated, not even glancing at me or the dining table.

"But I made your favorite food..." I was cut short before I could even complete my statement.

"Just eat it or feed it to the neighbor's dog or something" he stated, looking irritated like I was forcing him to eat.

"But..." I tried to explain while wearing a sad expression.

"I had dinner with my team members so I can't eat anymore tonight" he explained halfheartedly just to make sure I don't try to make him eat anymore

I didn't even have dinner because I was waiting for him. I kept his bag in our room and quickly cleared the table before he finished taking his shower.

I went back to the room to wait for him to finish his shower.

"I have good news, Ethan" I said, forgetting the fact that he didn't eat what I made and was only excited to tell him the good news.

"Well, can it wait till I get back tomorrow? I need to sleep" he said while getting in bed and turning off the bedside lamp.

"No...it can't" I stated while turning it back on because I couldn't wait to tell him.

"Why did you win a lottery or something?" He said while smirking a little and getting into a sitting position on the bed.

"It's more than winning a lottery." The happiness I felt was more than the happiness a child feels when you give them candy.

"Something better than money?!? Alright then, let me hear it" he said. I finally caught his attention.

"I'm pregnant, Ethan. I'm so happy that I can't contain it. We finally have a baby after being married for four years... isn't this amazing" I yapped on, without even realizing that the demeanour of the person in front of me had already changed.

I expected Ethan to be even happier than I, but there was this sudden anger on his face, or was it a look of betrayal? The whole room suddenly went cold.

"And who is the father of this child" he asked while getting up from the bed to come closer to me.

Why is my husband asking me who the father of the baby I'm carrying is? Who else will be the father if not him?...
