Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

DENNIS Her beautiful laugh was the first sound I heard when I opened my eyes. Despite the ache in my head, my lips curled into a smile.

That sound... it was enough to make my day.

I peeked at her as I wondered what she was laughing over. Her back was toas she sat on the edge of the bed. She was on a phone call. I wondered who she was speaking with, Amie? I couldn't think of anyone that could make her laugh so heartily. Just as my hands reached out to pull her to me, her shoulders shook in a soft laugh. She shook her head and said, "Aiden," dragging the last syllable.

The stupid smile on my face fell, my body grew cold and my hand froze in the air.

Of course. I swallowed.

Slowly, I withdrew my hand and returned it to where it had been over my face.

I felt the constant emotions anger, bitterness, sadness, jealousy that I had tried to drown yesterday slowly make their way back up.

How could I have forgotten? Aiden was back in her life. I should've guessed right. He was the man she had always wanted afterall. I was the alternative.

That voice... I sighed. I've tried to shut it up but I just couldn't. I knew Ana loved me, I just couldn't help it.

I rubbed my temples, hoping it would easethe headache I felt as I mentally affirmed my stance in her life.

It's nothing, Dennis. She's just doing this for our daughter. And it's okay to be cordial with the man whom will help save our daughter.

...And also give her another ch- A wince escaped my lips and thankfully, it shut the errant voice up.

And also interrupted Ana's... call.

She turned in my direction. The smile on her face automatically summoned mine back up.

"Hey," she drawled as she placed her phone on the bedside table. She crawled toand placed a kiss on my chest.

"Hey," I repeated as my hand rested on her back and I kissed her back.

She pouted, "I called you yesterday but you did not pick up. Imagine my worry when I cback and met you uncomfortably sprawled on the couch." "I got carried away. I'm sorry I got you worried." She sighed. "How's your head?" She asked as she settled beside me. One of her hands rested on my chest while the other lovingly raked her fingers through my hair. "Terrible," I snorted as I looked up at her.

She shook her head the way she always did whenever she was about to scold Amie or me.

"I knew you'd feel horrible this morning. I'm surprised you aren't writhing in pain. Why would you drink so much?" A cute frown adored her forehead as her gaze roamed my face. "Are you alright? Is there something you want to talk about?" There's a lot I want to yell about. I shook my head and raised one of my shoulder in a small shrug. "I'm fine. Work has just been pretty hectic." "I'm sorry. You know you can always reach out towhen you need an extra hand, right?" I smiled and covered her palm on my chest with mine. "I know." Then I let out an involuntary wince as a sharp pain shot through my head. Ahh. Damned hangover.

She started to pull away. "You know what, try to sit up then I'll make you a quick hangover tea, okay?" I nodded and then she started to helpto sit up. I clutched my head with one hand while propped myself up with the other.

She arranged two pillows on my back and asked if I was comfortable.

When she was sure, I was comfortable in the sitting position she helpedinto, she gavea peck on my lips and rushed out of the room with a 'I'll be back in a jiffy.' After she left, my gaze, on its own accord, traveled to where she had dropped her phone face down. I looked away from there. I looked et down at my trembling hands and clasped them together to resist the urge to confirm if she was really talking to Aiden.

Few minutes later, I was saved from giving into the temptation of checking her phone as she returned with a steaming bowl of soup.

"Wow, that was fast," I said as I leaned forward to take the soup from her.

She smiled, "I figured this will be better than spill or coffee. Careful, it's hot." I licked my lips as I lowered the bowl from my mouth and nodded. "It definitely is better. Thank you, love." "My pleasure," she smiled and her cheeks slightly reddened.

I was halfway through the soup when she began, "So Aiden and I have gone to see the doctor." My mood immediately dampened at the mention of Aiden but I made sure to conceal how I felt. I raised my brows, "Oh?" She nodded. "He agreed to do it so he cover yesterday." She shook her head and sighed, "Dennis, I don't know what I'd have done if he had refused." I nodded. "I'm glad he agreed." And I really was. Atleast, Amie would get well and Ana will stop worrying so much.

"So the doctor said there'd be need forto frequent the hospital now." I frowned at that? "Why?" If she frequented the hospital, that would mean more taround Aiden. I didn't want that.

She shrugged. "Just to ensure that tests go well. But it's mostly fir when the transplant has happened. They will need to keep tabs onand the baby to ensure everything is going well." I nodded slowly as I processed the information.

...after the implant...

That means Aiden's job would be almost done and he wouldn't really be needed anymore, right? "That's good. I hope the process wouldn't be too hectic for you and Amie." Her lips tilted in slight but stunning smile. "Thank you. I hope so too."

I sniffed. There was just a little content left in the bowl and I already felt better. The headache had reduced to a dull thump. "So how's Amie?" "She's worried about you. She said she misses you." to sh

My heart warmed in my chest and I r. It was felt like an asshole for intentionally avoiding to visit her. It was unfair to her, even to Ana. It was not their fault that what was happening was happening. It was just destiny's way of always throwing innocent people into shitty situations.
