The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire's Ex-Wife

Chapter 44: We'll Make Sure You Get Justice

Christina POV

Doo doo-

The busy tone echoed through my phone as I stood there, frozen.

I had thought that today, with Elizabeth's surgery going smoothly, Son and Angela would finalize their divorce. So, last night, I arranged a little celebration with a few friends at a resort, thinking we'd be toasting to a fresh start.

"How'd it go, Christina? Was that Sean on the phone?" One of my friends asked, holding up a glass of champagne.

I nodded, but it felt like my heart was sinking

She didn't seem to notice, though. Still, she wrapped her arm around me, her voice bright. "Wow, congratulations! Is Sean coming by later? Can we stick around to celebrate with you?".

"Finally! Your Sean can get rid of that woman. After today, you'll be the real CEO's wife, right?"

"Mrs. Shaw, don't forget about us when you get rich!" another friend teased, laughing.

"And when you get married, I better be on the VIP guest list!"

I want first-class seats! Oh, and Christina, toss the bouquet to me! I might marry my boyfriend by the end of the year."

"Really? You're getting married? Congrats!"

The words kept coming, each one a stab of discomfort, but they didn't notice. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Can you all just stop talking?" I snapped, my voice sharper than I intended.
