Trapped In The Arms Of The Billionaire

Ethan POV

I’m driving to Belle’s house now because my wife hasn’t come home yet so I’ll fetch her. It’s been a few days already since I’ve seen or talked to Belle again and as far as I know, she doesn’t go to work either.

When I got to the opposite gate I got off, I just parked my car outside, I was met by one of their maids and pointed out that the two were in the living room. I went straight there and I saw  they were talking.

“Looks like you two are busy.” I said.

They quickly turned their attention to me and laughed, I approached my wife and kissed her cheek.

“Did you already eat Ethan?” Belle asked.

“I’m still full, because I also came from the meeting.” I answered her.

“You know what baby, Belle has something to say.” My wife said,

“What is it?” I asked the two of them.

Belle looked at Agatha who seemed hesitant whether to say it or not.

“Don’t worry Belle, I’ll take care of my husband. He won’t tell that to his best friend.” Agatha’s promise.

My forehead wrinkled. “What are you talking about baby?” I asked my wife..

“Belle is pregnant.” she answered me.

My eyes widened. “Really? Is Gian the father?” I asked Belle.

Belle immediately nodded. “Please Ethan don’t tell him about this.” she begged.

“Why? I think he deserves to know about the baby Belle.” I said seriously.

“It’s not possible now, you know we’re not okay yet. He’s still confused and I don’t want him to be forced because of this child, I saw him last time with Maxine again. And one more thing, I’m not allowed to be stressed because pregnancy is difficult in my case. ” she explained.

I understood Belle’s point and we weren’t in a position to lead her, but what? Gian and Maxine together? It’s impossible.

“Alright. I won’t tell him if that’s your decision. So what’s your plan now? You know you can’t hide that because your stomach will grow after months  and it’s also inevitable that you two won’t cross paths.” I asked her.

“I already told Agatha about my plan.” Belle replied.

I turned to my wife with a question.

“She wants to leave first, she won’t go to another country. She will still stay here but not in this place.” Agatha explained to me.

“Are you going somewhere? If you want you can stay in our Hacienda, Luke is there and Nanay and Tatay Greg are there so that you could have someone with you as well.” I suggest.

“Is it  okay?” Belle asked.

“Of course, my wife and I will be more reassured if you’re at the Hacienda and Gian will definitely not know where you are.” I promise.

“That’s a great suggestion Belle, my husband is right, you and your baby are safer there and it’s like we can visit you.” Agatha was second.

“Is there anything else I can do? You two are already suggesting it.” Belle laughed.

“When do you plan to leave?” I asked again.

“As soon as possible.” she replied.

“Okay, I’ll just call them there to let them know that you’ll be staying there for a while and so that they can take care of you as well.” I said.

We talked for almost a few hours before saying goodbye to go home because it was too late and Belle was not allowed to stay up, her cousin also came so we were assured that she had someone with her.

As we drove down the road I noticed that my wife had been quiet for a while and seemed to be deep in thought.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her.

She looked at me. “Why?”

“Because you’ve been silent for how many minutes already, is there a problem?” I promise.

“Nothing, I’m just thinking about Belle.”

“She is strong like you so I know she will be able to overcome whatever she is going through now especially that she has a baby now.” I said.

“I’m just worried about her and her condition, especially since her pregnancy is difficult.”

I held one of my wife’s hands. “That’s why she wants to stay away first for the betterment of her and the baby, isn’t it? And I know if they will be good parents, especially if Gian will already know about the good news.”

“Why is it that your best friend is stupid.” she said annoyed.

“We can actually make decisions in life that are wrong but the only good thing is if we can correct them.” I promise.

“But not all mistakes can be corrected.”

“If it can’t be corrected, don’t do it again. We can’t go back to the past or the things that ended. The important thing is how we learned from that mistake.” my defense.

“Like you?” she promised with a laugh.

I looked at her badly which made her laugh more.

“Don’t be mad baby, I’m just giving an example.” she said.

“Me as an example, really Agatha? Really? I’ve learned from that mistake already.” I exclaimed.

“Easy. I know, baby.”

“Really?” I said.

“Yes, it’s been years since we got married and I know you’re doing your best to be a good husband.” she said.

“So that means we can have our another angel?” I smiled at her.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Silly!” she whispered and averted her eyes from me.

“Why? I was just asking.” Continue teasing her.

“Just continue driving baby, focus on the road.”

I can’t help but laugh, even years after we got married, when we talked about this kind of thing, she was still embarrassed even though we did it often.

I just focused on driving so that we could get home because I knew it was night and we also needed to rest, I knew my wife was also tired even though she and Belle were just at home. Knowing her what to just imagine it to do.
