Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

04 Threatened Again!

(Winona)

This is my second night in the hotel and I'm expecting Lisa to come visit. But I need a shower because I've slept half the day, too sad to get out of bed. I had the hotel restaurant make her a cake and stock the mini bar.

Although I won't be drinking alcohol, I'll mix the drinks and pretend. I fly out tomorrow. I'm not even telling her I'm pregnant. I can't tell anyone. Not if I want to keep my baby.

I need her to believe I'm okay because I can never have her come and visit me. We probably won't see each other again for a while, unless I am sure Jayden's mother won't do anything to the child.

It's my only hope right now. It's fifteen minutes until she arrives. I text to say the hotel door is unlocked and to come right in, I'm having a shower. I get back a thumbs up.

The hot water cascades over me and I rub my hands over my belly. Soon enough I'll start to show. I need to go where no one knows me or my past and reinvent myself and my story. I could stay here forever but I know I better get moving.

I turn off the water and grab a huge white fluffy hotel towel to wrap up in. I pull a thinner hair towel out of my toiletries bag and wrap it around my head. I grab the basin as I stand up because I feel like I'll faint any second. Maybe the water was too hot or I bent over and stood up too quickly.

I can't go to a doctor here. I'll have to wait until I find somewhere to live in my old city, but nowhere near where I used to be. No one can remember who I am.

My other hand goes protectively to my abdomen as I hold the basin for support.

"You better not be pregnant."

I opened my eyes in surprise. That isn't Lisa's voice, it's Ashlyn.

"Oh my God, what are you doing in here? Get out!"

Her face twists into something I've never seen before. "The door was unlocked, you should be more careful."
