The Wife He Despised, The Woman He Lost Forever novel Chapter 2

Just then, noise erupted from outside the door. "Get a doctor now! If something happens, none of us can answer for it!"

Shortly, a rapid pounding shook the bedroom door. "Mr. Graham, someone from Susan's villa said she doubled over with stomach pain and was bleeding. You need to come right away!"

At those words, Luke roughly shoved me aside, causing my lower back to slam against the edge of the vanity, sending a sharp pain shooting up my spine.

Without even glancing at me, Luke sprang to his feet, yanked the door open, and barked, "What happened? Tell the driver to get the car ready, bring in the best obstetrician in the city, and move fast!"

His voice was still ringing in the room as he stormed out, already running toward Susan's villa.

The housekeeper, Amy White, hurried to my side, rubbing the sore spot on my back with a gentle hand. "Mrs. Graham, don't take it to heart."

Had I?

I froze, touching my face only to realize it was already streaked with tears. Forcing a smile, I whispered, "Help me change. I'll go see Susan too."

When I arrived at Susan's villa, she was curled softly in Luke's arms, her face tilted up toward him, eyes glistening. "I didn't mean to say I wasn't feeling well… I just panicked. I thought once I had the baby, maybe you wouldn't want to see me anymore.

"Whenever I think of you being with someone else, my heart aches like it's being crushed. Luke, I don't know why I feel this way. Please don't blame me… I just want to steal a few more glances at you. I don't want you to leave."

Luke held her close, his palm pressed gently over her stomach. "Silly girl. You're carrying my child. How could I ever ignore you? You and the baby are the most important people in my life now. Our child will inherit the company one day. Do you think I could ever push you aside?

"Scarlett is too stubborn, never as gentle and thoughtful as you. I've been tired of it for a long time. Don't worry. There's no one like you."

Susan clutched the collar of her shirt. "Then, promise me you'll come every day and won't have any children with her, alright? I'll give you as many as you want. Boys, girls, as many as you want."

Luke laughed quietly, kissing her forehead. "Fine, you spoiled thing. I'll be with you every day."

Susan giggled, snuggling deeper into his chest. "Touch it. The baby knows Daddy's here with us."
