All Chapters of My Billionaire Enemy Is My Lover : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I lied to Mom. I told her I had finally used my vacation leave today, when the truth was, I wasn't on leave at all. My leave request hadn't been approved, so this was already my fourth day of being absent.There was no one home. Mom had left early for a meeting, and my siblings were at school. I wanted to be alone. I couldn't let my emotions out when they were around. It felt like I was suffocating whenever there was someone else in the house. No matter how badly I wanted to cry, I just couldn't bring myself to do it with them there. Mom would only worry, and I didn't want her to notice that something was wrong. Because I knew that if she did, she'd eventually discover my secret.I was quietly sobbing when my phone suddenly rang. Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I'd been avoiding calls and messages. Sara, Lina, and Alaric kept trying to contact me. I pulled the blanket off my head and looked at the screen.The moment I saw Alaric's name, I broke down even harder.I lay back on t

Alaric Frost Ferrer I was in my office, working, when the door opened. My friend Cole walked in. Judging by the look on his face, he was in a foul mood because of another problem with a woman.I smirked. "What brought you here? Don't you have work?""Tss!" he scoffed irritably before dropping onto the sofa across from me. He raked a hand through his hair in frustration.I stopped working and gave him my full attention. Smirking, I raised a brow."You know we shouldn't let women control our emotions. It's easy enough to replace them once they start becoming a headache.”He glared at me. Then he loosened his tie and sighed in defeat. He used to play with women. The moment one of them grew attached to him, he'd throw her away and move on to someone new. That's why I couldn't understand why he wouldn't just leave his fiancée, who constantly gave him headaches."Speaking of that, I was informed that a Salazar applied to my company," he said, completely ignoring my advice about his woman.

It took me a week before I found the courage to tell my parents about my pregnancy. It's Sunday today, and everyone's home. Since Dad isn't around, I'll tell Mom first. I haven't told Alaric that we're going to tell them today. I'll talk to Mom first and let her know that I have a boyfriend. She'll be shocked if I suddenly tell her I'm pregnant when she doesn't even know I have one.We were all in the living room. Scarlet was watching TV. Serenity was busy texting on her phone. Mom was reading a book. I stared blankly at the television, but my mind was elsewhere. I kept rehearsing in my head how I was going to tell them.I shifted in my seat before finally deciding to speak.“Mom…”“Hm?” She didn't even look at me. She simply acknowledged me with a hum.I swallowed.“I have something to tell you.”My voice was so shaky that everyone stopped what they were doing. Mom lowered the book in her hands and looked at me. Serenity stopped typing and lifted her gaze. Scarlet turned the TV volum

The night before Alaric and I went to sleep, my mother called me. I wanted to answer, but Alaric told me not to for now. My mother called several times. When she finally gave up, she just sent me a text.[Come back home, Seraphina.]The next morning, I woke up at seven because of my phone. Alaric had his arms tightly wrapped around me, and my head was resting on his shoulder. I moved slightly to answer the call, but he pulled me back to him.“It's too early. Answer it later,” he whispered in his hoarse, deep voice.“Maybe it's Mama?”“Call her later. Let's sleep first,” he ordered.I quickly fell asleep again. When I woke up, it was already ten. Alaric was no longer beside me. After I came out of the bathroom, I went straight to my phone when I remembered that someone had called me earlier that morning.And true enough, it was my mother. She had fifteen missed calls. I wasn't even dressed yet, only wearing a bathrobe, when I called her. It didn't even take three seconds before she ans

I went straight to the bathroom to let out everything I was feeling. No matter how hard I tried to push my thoughts away, I couldn't. Eliza's words started to get to me. Everything she said seemed to make sense. Maybe it was true that Alaric was only using me and didn't really love me. It happened too fast. One moment, he was so cruel to me. He kept belittling and humiliating me. Then the next thing I knew, he was caring. He suddenly became kind, and I gave in to him just as quickly. And now look at me, I'm pregnant!I stood in front of the sink, facing the mirror. My tears wouldn't stop. It felt like my heart was being stabbed by all the horrible thoughts running through my mind. Was Eliza right? Was I only being used? Is this still part of his revenge? I was so confused. I wanted to pull my own hair out.When I got tired, I sat down and hugged my knees. I rested my head on them and sobbed. Sometimes, your own mind can be your worst enemy. Instead of helping you figure out what's bes
