All Chapters of My Billionaire Enemy Is My Lover : Chapter 51 - Chapter 56

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.

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
