Unknown POV

"Son I cannot wait anymore!"

"Dad just wait... few more days?" I said but he wasn't ready to listen.

"My wife's dying there... have you ever known that feeling?!" He asked and I quickly snapped my eyes at him, and he squeezed his eyes shut at what that meant. "Sorry.... but we've to go get her quickly."

"The woman you're talking about is also my mother, I don't want to lose her either. I get what you're saying dad! But.... give me some time, did she have to go marry him!" I screamed and he pursed his lips.

"I don't know about all that. I have no idea how you're going to do this.. just get her! And.. it will be much easier for you now that she left that horrid man and his place." He stared into me and I nodded at him. That's all he needed, before he left taking his men with him.

Nicholas's POV

'Fvck! Where did she go now?' I searched the entire wedding venue. Each and every bedroom, bathroom. At first yeah... I wanted to avoid her. Gosh! Why is she so hellbent on getting a divorce?! But no... how long can I even avoid this for? One or the other day I have to face it. But now I got to make it clear to her that I don't want a divorce. And I'm trying to find her, and I don't know where she went. She's definitely not here.

Evelyn's POV

"Chrissy?" I asked opening the door while I wiped my tears. What's she doing at this time of the night? Oh my god she rang the bell so many times that I've come down with a headache already. "What are you doing here?" I asked but then I whined loudly and went inside leaving the door open and crashed onto my sofa with Chrissy next to me now.

"I should ask you instead. What happened?" She asked and I hugged her not saying anything. But I felt like a kid.

No actually, more like a prostitute. Oh, why did I have to sleep with him. Sleep and then regret.
"Nothing. Come sit" I pulled her on to the sofa and then asked, "What happened?"

She shook her head meaning nothing. Then we both sat quietly next to each other.

"I slept with Nick!"

"I think I might be pregnant!"

We both said that the same time.

"What's wrong with sleeping with your husband?" She asked.

And I was still in shock with the information she just gave me. "Whaaaat?" I said in shock.

"What's wrong with-"

"Not that!" I interrupted her. "Oh my god Chrissy! You're pregnant! Are you mad? Oh god. Oh god." I chanted. "Who's the father? Don't tell me Chris you don't know?!" I screamed holding my head.

"Chill! We'll do something" she said. "Do you have beer?" She asked and I glared at her.
That shut her up.

"You're pregnant and you want beer?!" I hissed at her.

She held her hands up like she's not to blame! "I meant... I suspect I am, not that I actually am." She said and I sat quietly with an 'oh'.
"So what is it that you were saying?" She grinned.

"Nothing"

"Really? That's not going to work with me. Now tell me what happened?" She screamed into my ear.

"I already said nothing. You know already that I left Nick. I asked for a divorce and he happily agreed. I think it's because of his ex. But then yesterday.... I-I... I had sex with him! At Carr's reception. Can you believe that?! And-and.... just forget it. I don't want talk about it." I said.

"What did he do after that?" She asked.

And I was quick to blurt it out, "he actually ignored me the whole time. And I just left. I felt so used.." And then I looked at her, she was too deep into her thoughts, but she didn't say anything. That's what I love about her. She'll only talk if she's sure about it.

"Now tell me... do I know this expectant dad?" And then she looked at me grinning like crazy.

"Of course, you do.... we met because of you."

"Don't tell me it's Mark!" I just knew. I knew!

"Mhmm it is."

Wow..... that was... quick. "I don't understand. Are you happy or sad? Does he know?" And she just shrugged. "What does that mean?"

"I don't know. I haven't told Mark. I mean it's just a suspect. And moreover, he'd run miles away from me if this is true." She said and I sat thinking what Nick's reaction might be if I ever... no no. I'm not going there.

"So.... about the restaurant..." she started. Good thing she changed the topic. I know where she's going with it.

"You don't have to feel guilty about it, Chrissy." I said and she nodded.

"When will we be open again?" She asked regarding the restaurant.

"Once I have enough money..." I said and she raised her eyebrows with concern etched on her face. I thought we could have the first floor as kitchen and the entire ground for people. More space for them as well as us. I put all my money into that. It will take time for me to gather some more money.

She then kept quiet not asking me anymore questions. The entire house was silent as we both wallowed in our self-pity party. I regret suggesting Nick for a divorce. Even if he was still in love with her, I could've made him fall in love with me! It was better than sitting here away from him. I heard a phone ringing, that brought me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah.... uh.. what is it?..... No, I can't come... -you're right! I won't come!" She spewed at whoever that unlucky man was on the opposite side.

"Who was it?" I asked. Just curious you know. It might be her baby daddy. "Mark?" I guessed and she nodded. "Tell me one thing Chrissy. Have you people fought. You're not like this with anyone soo...-"

"I fought with him. Yes!" She interrupted me with her answer. Oh, wow great, even she fought!

We just sat there in silence for some more time. Until my phone rang. "Hello?" I spoke then moved it away from my ear and looked at the screen. Nick? "Nick?" I called his name carefully.

"Where are you?" His voice was void of any emotion.

"Where do you think?" I chuckled to myself.

"Meet me at home." He rasped. "Actually no... I'll pick you."

"Wa-wa-wa-wait! Whyyy?" I sounded confused to him. Obviously, I am! And he didn't reply to that. "Don't come! Cause I'm not coming anywhere with you!" I said and cut the call before he replied.

"Did he ask you to go meet at his place?" Chrissy asked quite suspiciously.

"Yeaaah?" I replied unsure about where she's going with it.

"Oh... Mark called for the same... I guess it's for some 'security reasons' " she said quoting the last two words with her fingers.
"Sooo... would you do me favour?" She asked too sweetly, and I raised my eyebrows at her.
"Could you help me take these?" She asked with a saccharine smile and I narrowed my eyes at her but looked at her hands to see what it is, and I suddenly started hyperventilating.
"Chill chill.... Katherine!" She shook my shoulders and I looked at her with horror.

"What do you mean by help me take this?! Do you want me to catch your pee?!" I said and pulled away from her hold. She is somehow successfully creeping me out today!

"No! uhm.... take this with me. You take these and I'll take these." She held out half of them towards me and the other half clutched to her chest.

Nicholas's POV

"Bro! You're seriously asking me to prepare divorce papers for you? You know you could lose almost your entire fortune?!"

"Yes! Do it Alex...." I emphasised on his name.

He sighed. "What happened to the Nick who just confessed to me last week about his love?" He tried to tease but I'm not taking it.

"Not love!" I hissed at him. This man is getting on my nerves.

"Oh really?" He asked and when he didn't get a reply he continued with a long sigh. "Nick you're ready to lose your everything for her. What else do you think it is?"

"I don't know. But she wants a divorce!" My voice seemed desperate and frustrated.

"She asked you and you're giving it to her. You didn't even try! You never lose Nick. Remember?" He mocked me, using my own dialogue against me.

"Those were just some petty bets asshole! Now will you prepare divorce papers for me or should I go in search of another lawyer?!" I asked.

All I received were few more chuckles from his side. "Okay then... I will. But well.... when she asked for a divorce, what was your reaction?" He asked.

"Uhm.... I agreed. I said okay." I said looking at the documents that was on my table and held my phone tightly.

"Bastard!" He hissed.

"What?"

"She asked. And you said a yes. That means that you do not have any objection. You do not have any emotion towards her and it's easy for you to let go." He screamed; his voice desperate to make me understand.

"When did I say that?!" I spat him.

"Well your actions definitely meant that." He breathed. "You're not a man of many words Nick. Except with me and Dan of course, and she knows that. As a barrister and as your friend I just know that she was trying to analyse your actions and that wasn't very different from your words were they?" He finished calmly. And now that I think about it.... I shouldn't have agreed so easily.

"We met at Daniel's wedding.... well she left anonymously. I thought she would've changed her mind but no. All she talked about was divorce! Oh. I fucking hate the man introduced the word divorce. Even if he's dead, I'll bring him back into life and kill him with the most torturous ways." Why can I not fvcking understand women like Alex? Well Daniel is worse than me.

"Hmmm... did you say something to her at the wedding?" He asked. I'm sure he's scratching his chin by now.

"No.... in fact I was actually trying to ignore her so that she doesn't bring up that word divorce again!" I said and went near the window as I loosened my tie. I hate wearing ties.

"There! You have your answer." He said casually.

"What answer?" I didn't even ask him anything.

"She left anonymously... you were avoiding her. I guess she felt utterly humiliated especially after what you did, insulting her with your words on your so called divorce."
Now I get it.

Oh shit... "Damn!" I heard him question me with a 'huh?' "I didn't talk to her. But.... Al I'll call you later." I quickly dismissed his call and found E on my contacts... Eve! Oh shit! She would've felt like I slept and used her.

I called and spoke to her but no use. Then I looked out of the window Mark was scolding his nephew Mark. Jr I mean.. who stood looking at the phone. I wonder what he's found about the new case I've given him. New doubt of mine. And once I get a doubt, I know I can't be wrong. But before that I've to keep my Evelyn safe...

Evelyn's POV

"We're trying and that's final." Chrissy looked at me angrily with her hand on hips.

What's there to be so scared of? If yeah then yes and if no then....
Oh god! I hope my doubts are untrue.
