A Trillionaire’s Revenge

LUKE'S POV

Natalie and I are outside, beside our car. She looks tired and pale, something I'd noticed for the past few days.

"Are you ready to go?" I ask her and she nods. I place my jacket over her shoulders. She gives a small smile and I begin to talk to her about the party. I want to know why she had on such a stern face and a cold tone with Senator Jackson but I realize that she's completely zoned out. She's a bit shaky, and when I realize she's about to fall, I hold her as tight as I can.

"Shit!" I yell and the chauffeur comes out. "To the manor, as fast as possible!" I say to the chauffeur, panicked.

I try to wake her numerous times, but she doesn't respond. However, she's breathing. "You have to hang in there, my love." I say as I reach for my phone to call Doctor Ava. She says she's on sick leave so she would be unable to make it. However, she'd send in another Doctor.

We are at the manor and I carry her bridal style into the house. Her eyes flutter open for a second but she slips back into unconsciousness. Arriving in our bedroom, I drop her on the bed as we await the Doctor.

The Doctor arrives about thirty minutes later, and although I want to yell, I keep it calm. She attends to Natalie, checking her pulse and giving her some shots. She checks her eyes with a tiny flashlight and uses her stethoscope to check Natalie's heartbeat.

"Congratulations, Mr. Carrington."

I'm confused, "Is my wife alright, Doctor? Why did she faint? Why isn't she waking up?" I ask.

"Your wife is healthy and she must remain that way. Your wife is pregnant and approximately, I would say it's been so for about two months." She replies. I'm in shock, complete awe. Mrs. Ruth comes in and the Doctor repeats herself. "Your wife is expecting, Mr. Carrington." Mrs. Ruth gasps.

had never loved Natalie in the past—not until a few weeks ago. Not until, my feelings started getting attached to the constant sex we were having. I realized I Thad fallen for her, when she avoided me for a few days and didn't speak to me. Those days were like hell for me. With her distancing herself from me and not even saying a word to me, I realized that I couldn't live without her. I realized that although I was pretending to be in love with her, in reality, I was madly in love with her and it scared me. Now, she was having my child and the thought of her finding out my feelings in the beginning were false, was like a dagger stabbing me in the heart. I

I would tell Luke after breakfast that I was fed up of Rocky living here. The last thing I needed was to be troubled or anxious during my pregnancy. I needed peace, and Rocky was

He was fond of supporting her blindly and it angered me

for a moment, especially when I see her smile. I get up, shocked. He continues, "I love you as I would've loved my sister if she were still alive." He says, and I heave a sigh of relief. My relief is short lived as I hear Rocky's next words. "I have something to share too, but. . ." He looks at me. He continues. "Only with you, Luke." I can feel sweat building up on my head, and
