His Despair by S. N. Nina Arthur (pocket ebook reader TXT) 📗

Chapter 5

DAVINA’S POV:­-

 

I didn’t understand what to do or what to say, I just stared at him, terrified and scared as my mind took his words in.

He stepped back while that stupid smirk playing on his lips,

“Good day,” he responded and began walking towards my office door. It took me a few minutes to calm down, I took deep breaths as I let myself relax a bit.

What he said a minute ago played in my mind, “He didn’t sign the divorce papers?” I whispered,

What happened that night has played in front of my eyes, dragging me back to that horrible day of my life.

 

Flashback

Davina’s POV:-

As I was cleaning the kitchen, I heard the doorbell ring, I placed the bowl on the kitchen counter and moved towards the door,

***ring**

“Coming!” I yelled as I reached the main door, I opened the door and saw a woman standing there, she was beautiful, with her strawberry blond hair and blue eyes, she had a model body.

“Yes!” I asked if she looked inside like she was searching for someone.

Her eyes finally landed on me, “Hello, I’m here to meet Allen, Can I come in?” she asked kindly,

I nodded my head and moved aside, letting her come in, I was curious to know why she was here? And Who is she?

I turned around and saw Allen walking downstairs with his phone in his hands. He didn’t notice her yet!

“Allen!” I called, and he moved his eyes off his phone and landed on me and then moved to the woman sitting on the sofa. I noticed the sudden change in his features, his eyes lifted to her and to mine.

He hesitantly stepped down from the stairs and walked towards us. There was silence in the room and tension, I didn’t know what to do, no one was saying a word. We were standing there in silence, I never saw Allen this nervously before, he was looking at her stealing glance at me which made me very confused.

What’s wrong with him?

I noticed the woman’s shivering legs, and she was gulping now and then like she was extremely uncomfortable sitting here and being in front of us, I just stood there looking at them confused. After what felt like an eternity, I cleared my throat,

I think they want to talk about work! I should leave,

“So… I think I should leave you guys,” I said, they both turned towards me, I smiled at them and turned around, I took a step towards the kitchen,

“I’m pregnant with his child,” that woman said, making me stop in my tracks.

I turned back and looked at her in utter shock and confusion, I looked at Allen and noticed him lowering his head,

“What?” I whispered, unable to believe what I just heard,  

“I… I’m pre... pregnant with… hi...his child!” She sobbed out, covering her face with her hands. My heart clenched and I gasped like I couldn’t breathe anymore,  my legs began shaking badly, I stumbled but before I could hit the ground, my hands gripped the side of the stand supporting my weight.

Tears began flowing down my eyes, no sound was coming out of my lips, her words were playing in my mind repeatedly, making me numb.

He cheated on me?

“I’m so sorry,” I heard her say followed by her loud sob,

My mind was spinning and a throbbing pain began in my chest making me breath hard like there was no air in the room, 

Why?

“Davina!” I heard his voice from behind me, there was pain and disappointment in his voice.

“Miss Ellis,” my assistant voice pulled me back to reality, I looked at her, she was standing at my office door with a file in her hands,

 

“Come in,”  I said walking to my desk,

 

She strolled to me and placed the file on my desk, “here is the file you asked Miss Ellis,” she said and turned around. As she walked out of my office, I began reading the file.

The day went on as I chose to not remember anything and waste my time because time is precious to me, I don’t want to waste my time by remembering all those things which only hurts me in the end.

I walked to the kitchen, I checked whether everyone’s doing their works and after I made sure everything is going good in the kitchen I walked out, as I stepped out of the kitchen, I noticed my assistant rushing towards me,

Why is she running to me like she saw a devil?

“Miss Ellis,” she said as she walked to me and stopped in front of me,

“There’s someone waiting for you in your office and they want you to meet them immediately,” She said hurriedly,

I nodded my head and walked to the elevator, I got inside and reached my office. I pushed the door into the office and stepped inside; my eyes moved to the person sitting on my sofa with that stupid smirk playing on his lips while he sat with his right leg over his left and resting his right hand on his leg while another one on the sofa.

I sighed as I walked inside and sat down in my chair, “What do you want? Mr. Spencer?” I asked, very irritated to see him again,

“You do realize you’re in my restaurant! Right?” he said while standing up from the sofa, I said nothing as I just glared at him,

“I have every right to come here… Whenever I want!” he said while sitting in the chair in front of me, I gritted my teeth in anger, “And… Remember! I’m your boss…” He said leaning over my desk and staring right into my eyes. It was a very intimidating stare, because of his unique eyes it was impossible for me to maintain eye contact with him for longer, “And I don’t like disobedience…” he said.

I glared at him in annoyance, “What can I do for you, Sir?” I asked while gritting my teeth. He smirked while his eyes ran to my face, to my body taking every part in like he was memorising them.
