Secret Billionaire’s Contract Bride: Marrying My Enemy’s Lover

Chapter 100

I was about 17 weeks pregnant and my clothes were all getting tighter and tighter by the day. It was getting harder and harder to hide my growing belly. We had still not announced it to the media because I wanted to keep this one little precious thing to ourselves. I wasn’t ready to share our little baby with the rest of the world.

When things were exposed to the world they somehow always ended up ruined and I didn’t want that to be the case for us and the baby.

After all that had transpired with Ashton, Damon was being extra cautious with me. Unless it was work he rarely let me out of his sight. It was kind of obsessive but cute at the same time.

He liked to do these little check-ins every now and again to just make sure that I was alright. Now that I was in the second trimester all the morning sickness had gone away and I was happy. I was able to keep more food down but the need to pee every few minutes was insane.

I stretched my feet and stared at the screen for a little while longer before turning my laptop off.

Today had been another full day of filming and I was exhausted. My bed was calling my name and I was ready to answer its call.

I switched off all of the lights in my trailer and made my way to the parking lot where I saw Gabriel by his car using some very colorful language with whoever was on the other end of his phone call

I paused and watched him for a while.

Gabriel was not an explosive person so the fact that he was blowing up right now meant that something was seriously wrong.

“This is bullshit honestly,” were the last words he said before he hung up the phone. He ran a tired hand through his hair and cursed under his breath. He lifted his eyes to meet mine and instantly he straightened himself out and put on that easy going smile of his.
