All Chapters of My Billionaire Ex-Husband Won’t Let Me Go: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Pregnant…“Mrs Nova?” “Yes,” I blurted out, my voice deceitfully calm despite the blood roaring in my ears, “I'm sorry. Please continue.”He continued speaking on the other end of the line for a few more minutes. The words ‘checkups’ and ‘pre-natal vitamins’ reached my ears, yet I couldn't process a word he said.The call ended and the line went quiet but my head didn’t. I let my hands drop against the vanity top. The marble sent a chill through my skin.I was pregnant. Six weeks along, from what the doctor said.It was a good thing. I should be happy. I WANTED to feel happy. But I felt none of that. Only a weighted hollowness that settled heavy in my chest.

There was nothing I could do about it but ignore it.Ignore that the one thing that kept my life afloat was taken away like it was both.In the corridor leading to my office, I'd barely taken a few steps when voices drifted from around the corner.“I can't believe it. Miss Dawson has done so much for the company and this was her project. Her idea. Why would the big boss give it to someone else?” a young man said disbelievingly, “And Miss Nova? She literally just got here. We don't even know if she's capable.”“She may not be capable but she IS important,” a young woman's voice huffed, “You saw how he introduced her, right?
