Not to mention, what if they didn’t let me into her workplace? I knew some places could be crazy about visitors and the like, requiring badges and for guests to be checked in, so I guess I hadn’t thought this one through.

I guessed I would just have to hope that she was there; it was too late to turn back now. I was going to find her, and I was going to get divorced!

The cabbie dropped me off at a car rental and I went about picking the best car I could find given how I only had another hour and a half before the work day was over. Once I was all settled into something big and sleek that fit my style, I was driving off to my destination.

It was a standard office, just like I had googled, and I walked right into the lobby. I tried to put on my best professional but stern look instead of the anger I was feeling course through me, but I wasn’t quite sure on how successful I was.

I was still figuring out how I was going to explain to that I needed to see her, but my problem was sorted as I approached the receptionist’s desk only to see Nicole sitting right there!

She hadn’t finished turning to me yet, so I continued to close the space between us until I was right at the desk. When she did finally look to me, her eyes went wide, her jaw dropped, and all the color drained from her skin.

“Hello, Nicole.” I said as pleasantly as possible. “I’d like a divorce.”

She stared at me for several moments, her mouth opening and closing in horror. I waited for her to collect herself, and when she did her voice was hardly a whisper.

“Can I speak to you outside?”

“Sure,” I said, taking a step away. Although I knew that I wasn’t here to hurt her, she had no idea. For all she was aware, I was a pissed off man coming to get revenge for a maybe-scam that she had pulled.

She stood, quickly walking around the desk. The first thing I noticed was that, although she looked tired and upset, she still was quite beautiful. But the second thing my eyes focused on was her slightly round, somewhat protruding belly.

While she could have just gained weight, the rest of her body looked much of the same. Except for her breasts, which also looked like they had gotten bigger. There was a slight sort of glow to her cheeks, and even her hair seemed shinier.

Holy crap.

She was pregnant.

Chapter Nine

~Nicole~

I couldn’t believe.

I couldn’t freakin’ believe it.

I had been working so hard and taking care of things on my own for almost a quarter of a year, I finally felt like I was maybe kinda getting on my feet, when suddenly James from Vegas arrived at my desk.

It wasn’t fair! It had been hell getting here from Vegas and doing the whole interviewing and hiring process again. Not to mention buying a car, getting settled and finding what benefits and help there were so I could make it to my first paycheck. It had taken weeks and weeks of busting my butt through near debilitating morning sickness and catty coworkers before things had settled into a sort of routine, and now here James was, ruining all that again.

My stomach practically fell out of the floor to Australia and for a moment I couldn’t breathe. He was standing there, looking intense and imposing, and suddenly words didn’t have meaning anymore. What if he started screaming and security had to remove him? I was sure I’d be sacked because of that. Or what if it got out that I was shammed married? One thing I hadn’t expected about the Midwest was that half of the people you worked with expected you to uphold their good, Christian morals while the other half just wished you’d pipe down so they could focus on their work.

“Can I speak to you outside?” Was the only sensible thing my brain could supply, as if it needed loading time to comprehend what had just happened.

Thankfully, he agreed, stepping back to give me some space, and exited the building with me, so that my coworkers didn’t catch wind of what was going on and start their own rumors. If there was one thing that I had learned about office life, it was that people loved to start drama where there didn’t need to be any.

I looked up at him once we were outside, my stomach twisting. He was probably so angry! I probably shouldn’t have run but what if he had pressured me to give up my bab-

Oh no.

Oh no.

Somehow it had slipped my mind that he didn’t know that I was pregnant. But now he had to, and that was definitely not a good surprise.
