The Billionaire's Secret Lover

It's Nina, she______“ I cut her off, as I cursed loudly into the phone impatiently “ How many times do I have to tell you that there's nothing going on between Nina and me. That picture you saw in the newspaper was Photoshopped“ I lied to her, after that night, Deborah has been questioning me about Nina and I, and I have to deny it every time. I'm getting tired of her emotional blackmail.

I scribbled something on the files in front of me, I have a 1:00pm meeting with the board concerning the launching of the new“ Thomson's hospital” which has been built and now this.

“It's not that Michael, Nina was involved in an accident and she's dead“ I froze as the pen hovered in my hand. Nina is dead? How come? No, it can't be true, I saw her two days ago and she was healthy. I laugh, Deborah has started again with her planks. I'm not in the mood for any of this.

“ What did you say? Nina did what?" I stood up and paced to and from my office," What if, what she said is true? No, it can't be“ I ran my hands through my hair frustrated with everything, why will Deborah lie to me? She can't, can she?

“ I said Nina's dead " She repeated, crying on the phone as I rolled my eyes at her acting. She doesn't like Nina. Why will she be crying over her death?

“ I know you won't believe me" she sniffles back tears “ check my dads channel, it's been broadcast there " she sniffles again as I hung up and ran with a heavy heart to the television, putting it on, I searched frantically for the remote.

I found it later, lying in between two files, taking if, I ran through the channel, my heart beat escalating at every process. Stopping at Melton's media channel I sat down heavily on the couch, as the picture of Nina's battered face was being transported in the ambulance.

Tears stream down my face as I unconsciously scream out loud, sending everything on my table flying in all directions of the office.

Who could hate me so much to do this? Deborah was home throughout today, she couldn't have possibly done that. And to think that Lilian was there, thank God she was not hurt badly, I don't know how I would ever face Danny. Could he have blamed me for what happened to Lilian?

Aurora rushed into the office and stood gasping at the mess on the floor, she probably heard the clash “Hello!, please send in the cleaner to the boss's office immediately" Aurora called into the intercom and rushed to meet me.

“Sir, you need to leave the room immediately, the cleaner is on her way here and I wouldn't want her to see you like this, it's not good for your image”, she guides me in to the adjoining room in my office, I quickly followed here as she led me onto the bed. I was numb as all part of my body had died along with Nina except my frantic beating heart.

“ I will put a call through to Mr john. In the meantime, please pick your phone, it has been ringing for ages” Aurora said, as she went into my office to bring my phone which has been ringing.

Truth is, I did hear the phone ring but I dreaded picking it, what if it's Danny ? What can I say to him? Or even Nina's parents and brother?

“ Oh ! What I've I gotten myself into” I lament bitterly I should have adamantly refused when my parents asked me to marry Deborah. If I did, Nina would have been right here by my side.

“ Who's calling?" I ask Aurora as she thrust the phone at me to pick it up.

” Mr. Andrea " Aurora replied as I breathed a sigh of relief, collecting it. Aurora left me alone after warning me to be quiet that the cleaner is in the room.
