CHAPTER 71
#Bella’s P. O. V
I grab the file with shaky hands.
Divorce
If it had been a few months back when I had no feelings for Nicoli I would have signed the dotted line the moment I saw the file but now… now I can’t imagine going to sleep without his warm breath tickling down my neck or his arms protectively holding me close to his body like his afraid I’ll disappear at night.
I can’t imagine life without his passionate kisses or our playful fights or him teasing me and causing my face to turn red. I really love Nicoli.
“Anastasia,, go get a pen from the receptionist”Nicoli says his eyes still on me
“But don’t you have one”She questions looking around his office.
“If I had one would I ask you?”He asks rather harshly. She doesn’t reply but her retreating footsteps alert me of the fact that it’s just me and him.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why?”My voice breaks as I shift my gaze from the documents in my hands to the man I so uncontrollably love.
“No need for futile questions all you have to do is just sign that little piece of paper and go your way”He shrugs like its nothing.
“Nicoli you love me and even if you deny it you know you do. The way you just took me to cloud nine back then is proof of that”
“That was just lust, no strings attached so do us all a favour and sign the documents”He gritted out just as Anastasia enters the office.
“Sigh”Nicoli roughly shoves me a Pen I glare down at the place I’m supposed to sign.
“I’m not going to do it”I stubbornly refuse glaring up at him.
Click!
My eyes widen as i look at the gun that’s pointed towards my face.
“I’m not a patient man”Nicoli grits out his eyes glaring daggers at me.
He won’t kill me… right?
“I’m not joking I will kill you and then get married as a widower”He shrugs
I grab the pen and with shakey hands I sign the dotted line. It’s done. I’m no longer married to Nicoli.
I place the file on Nicoli’s desk and without looking at the both of them I start walking out of his office. I turn around one last time and notice Nicoli’s eyes on me. They stare at me as emotionless as the first day I met him.
A tear rolls down my cheek and I quickly wipe it away. I refuse to show them I’m weak. I put my hat back on hidding my face. I can’t believe I lost Nicoli.
Just like that
I run out the building not even caring as people stare at me. I reach the outside and start running throughout the parking spot. Just as I’m about to reach my car a black Benz suddenly appears in front of me nearly hitting me but the driver stops just in time.
“Jesus! Bella what happened” Christians voice reaches my ears.
“N… Nicoli divorced me”I cry out placing my face on his chest my tears stain his suit but I really don’t care.
“Sh*t Bella I’m sorry” Christian rubs my back in a soothing manner.
“You should stay at one of his PentHouses for now till things cool down”I nod my head and let Christian lead me to his car.
I grab another tub of ice cream and stuff my face with it. At a time like this, ice cream is what I console myself with
“Bella stop eating”Christian tries to take the tub away from me but I cling tightly to it.
“Let me eat away my pain”
Christian let’s out a loud sigh rubbing his face a few times.
“You’re gonna get sick”He says but I continue to eat my ice cream.
“I’m going to get you some security outside and please watch after yourself”He says before exiting the door. My phone starts ringing so I answer it.
“Did you think you had me beat by sleeping with Nicoli “Anastasia questions amusement clear in her voice.
“I don’t have time for you”I tell her.
“I just want you to know that if you get pregnant on purpose I’ll kill you and the bastard child”She warns hanging up.
I remove my phone from my ear in shock.

I finish my ice cream and decide to take a shower. I take off all my clothes and enter the giant shower. The warm water softly glides down my body.
A sob escapes my lips followed by another one and soon I’m on the shower floor clenching my bare body.
Tears roll my cheeks as I continue to cry all my pain away.
It’s been 2 weeks since Nicoli divorced me and lets just say Anastasia didn’t waste a minute. News of her wedding to Nicoli is already out
I look down at my now empty plate of food still hungry. I’ve been eating a lot since the past couple of weeks and I find it really weird.
“Mam Mr Christian is here”My maid informs me. I nod my head and watch as Christian enters the room holding shopping bags.
“Yay! you bought me something “I grin looking through the bags till I find the box of sugary goodness. I waste no time before popping a piece of chocolate in my mouth relishing in the yummy chocolate.
“Are you okay Bella?” Christian questions worry clear in voice.
“You seem pale” I roll my eyes at his question.
“I haven’t left this place in two weeks of course I’m pale”I answer him. I haven’t really been in the happy mood to leave this house I think of it as my little refuge from the cold truth and the pain in my heart.
“Now please excuse me I have to use the bathroom” I’ve being peeing a lot nowadays.
I walk to the bathroom and do all my business.
I walk back to the living room and find Christian holding a small pink box. My face pales over when I see what his holding.
“Bella please explain to me why you have an empty pregnancy test box” Christian asks
