Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife

When we reached home, the first light of dawn pierced through the dark sky. Lucas and I quickly went to Niall's room to check on him. Finding the little boy peacefully asleep relieved my anxiety. Afterwards, we headed straight to bed, craving a few hours of rest.

The night had been intense, unforgettable. While Lucas drifted into a deep slumber, I stayed awake, observing the steady rhythm of his breathing, thinking I'm going to miss him when I'm gone.

I tried to push the thought out of my mind but I couldn't. My time in this house was limited. I couldn't stay here forever, this isn't my home. Eventually, I would have to go back to my old life as Arabella Angelstone, a businesswoman accustomed to being alone.

I gently brushed a strand of hair away from his face, feeling a pang of regret. But if Lucas were to express a desire for me to stay, I would consider it. But the reality was, that was not an option as he harbored no feelings for me.

I couldn't find the courage to confess my feelings for him. The thought of hearing that he couldn't love me back was a pain I was not ready to face.

Reflecting on the uncertainties looming ahead, my tired eyes succumbed to sleep. When I woke up I noticed Lucas was nowhere to be found in bed. When I went downstairs to have breakfast with Niall, the butler mentioned that Lucas had left to attend to an important matter.

Given the events of the previous night, I understood that he would have a hectic schedule ahead.

Niall's typical cheerful demeanor shone through. I contemplated telling him the news of his mother's death but he was just a child. It would be difficult for him to cope once he hears the truth.

It was a task best left for Lucas. Perhaps when Niall was older and more capable of understanding, his father would tell him about it.

After playing with Niall for an hour, I put him down for an afternoon nap. Lucas had not returned, and I wondered about his whereabouts as I hadn't received any text messages from him. However, there was one message from an unfamiliar number.

"Eros..." I gasped in surprise! My mind had been so preoccupied in the past few days that I hadn't even tried to get in touch with him. Shortly after reading the message, I received a phone call from him.

"Can we meet?" He asked over the phone.

It had been ages since we last saw each other, and there was much to catch up on. "Yes, please... Send me the location, and I'll meet you there."

"Sure. I'll bring Sam with me," he added before ending the call. I was surprised that he was with Samantha, but I hadn't had the chance to ask him why they were together. I resolved to inquire about it once we met. Without delay, I quickly took a bath and changed into khaki pants and a floral blouse.

I quickly grabbed my car key and rushed downstairs.

"Please let Lucas know that I've gone out for an important meeting," I informed the butler when I encountered him in the foyer.

"What time will you be back, Ma'am?" He asked in a soft voice, one I had not heard before. Glancing at his wristwatch, he then turned to me for my response.

The tired butler had dark circles under his eyes, a sign that he hadn't slept a wink since Lucas had called him last night. By now, he had figured out that I wasn't Alexandria, but her twin sister. This realization likely explained his unusually kind demeanor towards me.noveldrama

"I'm not certain, but I'll make an effort to return before dark," I added.

The butler nodded, and I proceeded on my way.

The location Eros had given me was in the shopping district, specifically at the town's popular coffee shop. However, at that moment, there were few customers, making it an ideal spot for a private conversation.

Eros was easy to spot as I entered the coffee shop. To my surprise, Samantha was seated beside him, sporting a blush on her cheeks.

"What's going on between the two of them?" I questioned silently and made my way towards the couple.

Before I could even take my seat, Eros made a sudden announcement. "Sam and I are getting married," he declared, leaving me stunned and nearly missing my chair.

"Come again?" I exclaimed in disbelief.

"We're getting married," Sam murmured, the blush on her cheeks deepening.

It only took me a moment to collect myself, and once I did, I flashed them a wide grin. "Congratulations!"

Realizing that their wedding marked the completion of our divorce, I expressed my happiness for the both of them. "I'm truly happy for you," I added warmly.

"When?"

"Next week," Eros and Sam said in unison.

It may have appeared hasty, but when two people are clearly in love with each other, why should they wait any longer?

"It's an intimate wedding with close friends and relatives present," Eros explained. "We hope you can join us."

"Absolutely, I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

The couple visibly relaxed.

"Please make sure to bring Lucas along." Said Sam.

"I'm not certain if he'll be able to make it after what happened. He has a lot on his plate right now."

Both Eros and Sam nodded in understanding and empathy.

"We heard about it on the news," Sam added, reaching out to offer me comfort. "I'm sorry about what happened to your twin."

"Alexandria brought it upon herself. Losing my only family left pains me, but things happen for a reason. She would have taken more lives if she had lived."

"We invited you here to cheer you up!" Sam exclaimed, holding out the menu and waving for the waiter to come over. "Let's order and talk about our wedding plans!"

I gave Sam an appreciative smile and glanced down at the menu to distract myself from the pain of losing my twin.
