All Chapters of THE MARRIAGE HE BURNS: The divorce He Regret : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alaric POV “I didn’t do it for you.”.“I did it because of Nova…,”Those two sentences kept ringing in my head, the walk to my office was blurred. The staff had an office party, because I was still CEO.It didn't feel like a victory, maybe because Marissa didn't vote for me because of her feelings for me, she did it for our child.I sat there. I don't have the right to enter her life again, but I wanted her in my life. I am greedy.I don't deserve her.But that doesn't mean I will give up.But what about Stella?What about Stella?Can I break the engagement after the childbirth?.I don't want Stella but she is carrying my child.I do want my reputation ruin?. No?Stella walked in, her stomach was getting a little obvious, she was wearing a tight dress, she seriously thought after getting pregnant she was going to fit in those clothes.“Hey dear,” I said, she smiled and kissed my cheeks as soon as she got to me.“Hi, congratulations!,” she squeals, I smiled.“Thank you,” I said,

Alaric POVIt has been two weeks since Lucia became my secretary, even if she was just there in name. I had tried to call Marissa to demand an explanation, but she had refused to talk to me.All Lucia did was spite Stella or flirt with me, even in public. Her interest in me was known in the company, and I could guess that a small part of the socialite society had already started to know. No one just dared to say anything about it.On her first day… that day in my office…she had made sure I ate the food, and she even let Stella eat it. After that, she ordered my assistant to take Stella home by force.I just watched, perplexed, and didn’t even know what to do. When I got home, Stella and I had an argument.Stella refused to talk to me. I was relieved that I didn’t have to listen to her tantrums.I walked into my office to see Lucia arranging the table in a revealing outfit. I frowned. I think it was about time I told her straight.“Lucia,” I called. She turned and smiled seductively.“

Alaric POV“Can I stay over?” Lucia asked, as if we were that close.“What!”“No, you are leaving.”“I can’t just go, it’s late,” she said, trying to hold my hand.“Sort that out with Prissy, and Miss Lucia, I warned. From tomorrow henceforth, you have bed relief from your work.”I walked upstairs straight into my office. I walked past Nova’s, and I noticed she didn’t come down for dinner. Her food was taken upstairs.I looked around my office. Since when did my life start to look pathetic? I opened my drawer and took out Marissa’s pictures.I took a deep breath and laughed bitterly at myself. I started comparing Stella to Marissa.I was fixing my tie when a phone rang. I checked my phone and realized it was mine that was ringing. It was Stella’s phone. I ignored it, but the person kept calling. I picked up her phone…it was that same unknown number that always calls her.Curious.I answered the call.“Hello.”The other end was quiet. I frowned.“Hello.”The call hung up, and suddenly

Alaric POVI walked into the mansion, and Stella was waiting for me. “Welcome back,” she said.“Thanks.”I walked back to the stairs. “Alaric!”“Yes,” I turned.“I made dinner for you. Change and come to the dinner room,” she said.I entered the dinner room. Nova was already there, eating. “Hi, Daddy.”“Hey, love.”I kissed her forehead. She smiled. The maid served my food, and Stella sat right in front of me.“How is it?” she asked. I swallowed the food. It didn’t taste good at all, but I swallowed it anyway. Nova finished her food and went up to her room.I looked down at my plate. I wondered how Nova finished this. “It is good,” I nodded as I took another bite.“Yes, I watched a YouTube video on how to make it,” she said.I smiled. “Wow.”The kitchen staff should have continued cooking; it tasted nothing like Marissa’s.“Maybe I should start preparing dinner for you and breakfast,” she said.“No.”“Why? I can do it, and you said it tasted good.”“Yeah, but you will be stressed cook

Alaric POV“Wait!”“Mother, I will give you the money, but you have to promise me that you wouldn’t harm Nova,” I said.“Just do the transfer,” she said. I brought out my phone and tried to text my assistant to call the police.“Don’t text, just call,” she screeched.“Okay… okay.”I called my assistant and showed her; it was ringing.“Nova… you will be fine.”Nova nodded. I looked at my mother. Her pupils were dark and dilating; she was on something.My assistant answered the call. “Send my mother fifty million,” I said.“Sir…”“Send it…” I said. Her phone beeped. She quickly removed her phone from her bag. She smiled when she saw the money and pushed Nova away without even checking if Nova was okay.I rushed to Nova and helped her. “Are you okay?” She was silently clutching her neck.“Get the car!” I screamed at the butler.We arrived at the hospital, and Nova was rushed into the ICU. I wandered around, and Matt walked into the waiting hall.“Hey,” he said. I looked at him and nodded
