All Chapters of HIS SECRETARY'S SECRET : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Damian PovThe doctors managed to stop Bella's labor. But she had to stay on complete bed rest. No visitors. No stress. No anything.I was allowed to stay because I was the father. But I had to be quiet. Calm. No fighting.Bella had been in the hospital for three days when Ethan showed up. I was in the cafeteria getting food when I got a text from Marcus. The security guard I stationed outside Bella's room."A man is here asking to see Ms Morgan. Says his name is Ethan Brooks"I ran back to Bella's room. Ethan was standing in the hallway. Holding flowers. Expensive flowers. And a folder."What are you doing here" I asked."I came to see Bella" Ethan said. He smiled. Calm. Confident. Like he had every right to be here."She can't have visitors" I said. "Doctor's orders""I'm not just a visitor" Ethan said. "I'm a friend. And I have something for her"He held up the folder. I could see papers inside. Documents."What is that" I asked."A modeling contract" Ethan said. "For after the bab

Damian PovI caught Sophia trying to leak information to the press. She sent emails to three major news outlets with stories about my past. About Karen. About the affairs. About everything.My IT department caught it before the emails went out. They traced it back to her computer. Her email account. Her IP address.I called the police. They arrested her for corporate espionage. For breach of contract. For everything my lawyers could think of.I watched them take her away in handcuffs. She was crying. Screaming that I ruined her life."You ruined your own life" I said. "By trying to destroy mine"The news picked up the story anyway. Not from Sophia's emails. But from the arrest. "Damian Roberts' Former VP Arrested for Corporate Sabotage" the headlines read.I knew Bella would see it. Would read about my past again. Would be reminded of everything I did.I drove to the hospital. Bella was lying in bed. She had her phone in her hand. She was reading the news."I saw" she said when I walk

Damian PovWe brought Nathan home three days after he was born. Bella insisted on going to the penthouse instead of her old apartment. For safety she said.I was relieved. Having them both here made me feel like we were a family. Like maybe we had a chance.But Bella was different after giving birth. She cried all the time. For no reason. She would be holding Nathan and suddenly start sobbing."What's wrong" I asked one morning. She was sitting in the nursery crying while Nathan slept."Nothing" she said. "Everything. I don't know""Are you in pain" I asked. "Should I call the doctor""No" Bella said. "I'm just......I don't know. I can't explain it"I googled it later. Postpartum depression. Hormones. Normal for new mothers. But it scared me. Seeing her so sad. So lost.The third day home I walked into the nursery. Bella was feeding Nathan. She was crying again. Silent tears running down her face."Bella" I said softly. "What can I do to help""Nothing" she said. "You can't do anythin

Damian PovI woke up to my phone ringing. My lawyer."We have a problem" he said."What now" I asked. I was so tired of problems."Sophia and someone named Maria Tyler just launched a coordinated social media attack against Bella" he said. "They're posting fake stories. Fake photos. Claiming she trapped you with a baby. Claiming she's a gold digger""Maria Tyler" I said. "Another sister. How many does Karen have""Apparently three" my lawyer said. "And they're all working together to destroy Bella's reputation"I got dressed. I went straight to my lawyer's office. We spent the morning sending cease and desist letters. Getting posts taken down. Threatening legal action.By noon it was handled. The posts were gone. Sophia and Maria got warning letters. If they tried again we would sue.I drove home. I needed to tell Bella. Let her know it was handled.But when I walked in I heard her on the phone. Laughing. Actually laughing. I hadn't heard her laugh in weeks.I walked to the nursery. S

Damian PovI couldn't sleep. I lay in bed all night thinking about Bella calling Ethan instead of me. About him being there. Comforting her. While I was at work like an idiot.The next morning I made a decision. I had to confront Ethan. Had to make him understand that Bella was mine. That Nathan was mine. That he needed to back off.I looked up his studio address. I drove there. I walked in without an appointment."I need to see Ethan Brooks" I told the receptionist."Do you have an appointment" she asked."No" I said. "But he'll want to see me. Tell him Damian Roberts is here"She made a call. A minute later she nodded. "He'll see you. Third floor"I took the elevator up. Ethan's studio was huge. Expensive. Photos everywhere. Models. Celebrities. He was successful. Talented. Everything I wasn't.Ethan came out of his office. He smiled when he saw me. Actually smiled. Like this was funny."Damian" he said. "What brings you here""Stay away from my family" I said. "Stay away from Bella
