Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue

Another week rolled by but Nancy did not go to live in Jason's staff quarters. She had expected him to broach the topic with her again but he did not. It was almost as though he did not care anymore. She was growing used to her job and duties and carrying them out effectively and effortlessly and even Jason had to admit that there was no need for Anna to continue coaching her.

Nancy had got enough corporate clothes for the office and was looking more attractive and the men in the office had started giving her the eye. Jason saw all this and though he thought in passing that she was really beautiful and had a great shape, he felt no other emotion. He had killed any emotion he had for the opposite sex and took his pleasure where he found it. He could not risk his hear getting broken again. Nancy was in the office one day and she remembered what had bothered her for sometime. She wondered if Anna would know about it.

'Anna, why is Mr. Campbell still unmarried?'

Anna was taken unawares and did not know how to answer the question.

'Why do you want to know?'

'Well for one, he was s handsome and Roch and not really a bully though stubborn. I would have expected him to have a wife and children'.

'Well, you must not let on that I told you.Promise?'

'Promise', Nancy said thinking to herself that she had known all the while that there was a story behind his unmarried state.

'Well he was married to a very beautiful model called Rebecca. Their marriage I heard was in the magazines for months afterwards. It was a really lavish affair. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mr. Campbell really loved her, giving her everything and more. It was a shock to us when the rumour started going round that Rebecca had run of with Mr. Campbell's best friend Terry.

He was so devastated that he did not come to the office for almost three months. And when he did, he was a ghost of his former self. He is only started to recover fully but since then, he did not allow himself get too close to any woman.

His wife also wiped their joint account clean as well as the one he personally opened for her. If his sister had not come to be with him, he might have died. It was a double betrayal, you know. The wife he loved dearly and his best friend who he trusted with everything. No one talks about his failed marriage and that was why I left that day you mention something like that to him when he was talking about your accommodation'. Anna explained.

Nancy could see now. She could also see why he felt that he had to protect her. They had alot in common. He was a broken man. He had not quite healed yet else, he would not be affected when the word wife is said, reminding him of his own wife's betrayal. And she had been betrayed as well nit by her husband but by a man she thought she was engaged to and with who she would soon get married.

She didn't want to think about Robert. She always felt like wringing his neck. She wanted to make him suffer. It did not trouble her that he was the father of her unborn child. She understood perfectly his pain. And his was even a double barrelled one. His wife and his most trusted best friend. It was a miracle he survived the hurt and betrayal.

'A penny for them?' Anna asked. She had been watching Nancy and had seen different emotions flick across her face. It was evident that she was deep in thought. What she had just heard must have affected her and why not? What woman in their right senses would leave Mr. Campbell for anyone else? Well everyone had their preferences and who was she to judge?

'They are not worth a penny, I assure you', Nancy said as she realised Anna was referring to her being lost in thought after listening to her narration. And indeed the thought of Robert was not worth anyone's hard earned penny. He was just an inhuman villain. Lower than the lowest animal alive. Even then, it was not enough to qualify his bestiary nature.

Nancy decided that she was going to tell her boss that she was ready to take up his offer of the quarters.

But Campbell did not come back to the office that day. She layer heard that he had travelled for a business sealed and would not be back for about three days.

She did not think that she would be hurt but she was. She was supposed to be his personal secretary and he had gone on such a trip without telling her and she who was suppose to let others know of her boss' appointments and trips was the last person to know of it.

She seethed. She could not understand her feelings. Why was it hurting her so much? She planned to give her boss a piece of her mind when he came home. He would have to explain her job description to her again do that she is sure if she was there as a figure head or as his personal secretary.

The three days went by still, there was no sign of the boss. Nancy was getting really impatient and worried.

She had tried calling him but he wouldn't pick her calls and she didn't know what to make of it. Yet others in the office seemed to be having easy access to him.

He came back after a week. And he looked so handsome that Nancy could not believe that he had gone on a business trip. Business trips were supposed to be stressful but no part of his body shoed any sign of stress. He seemed to have come back from a vacation and if her suspicion was true, then it must have been with a beautiful lady. No other sort would command such a man's attention.
