As time went by days turned into weeks , weeks into months and in a blink of an eye a month just successfully rolled by, yet Clara couldn't find a better opportunity to leave.

Today also made it a month since she last laid her eyes on him or heard from him, not even a call.

" It's not like I'm missing him , it's just that…"she paused trying to find a better words that best express how she feels, "that bastard!, after knowing the condition he pushed me into, shouldn't he call every day to check up on us,if at all he couldn't visit, but he haven't been calling or texting me,no means of communication,who does that?" She asked pursing her lips but the giant white teddy bear she's complaining to has nothing to say but stare blankly into space, but that doesn't stop her from talking, she continued, " I don't even know how he is doing, do you think he's doing fine?, is he equally thinking about me?, I missed him." she was confused about robbing her big baby bump.

At the sudden ring of her phone she spirited out of bed to the place she left it with a big smile on her face, on getting there, she cleared her throat before picking up the phone, when she saw the caller ID the smile disappeared and was replaced with disappointment.

' What was I expecting from someone who only knows how to sweet talk , it's just two months before our baby comes into the world but he didn't even try to contact me. '

" Fu *k you Xavier Reynold!, asshole! "She cursed before dropping the phone,it was only after she finished venting that her mistake was drawn at her.

" Oh my gosh , what did I just do , sorry baby, hear no evil , say no evil " she repeatedly tapped her stomach , how can she forget such an important thing , Alex had educated her on how sensitive her baby has grown so whatever she says or heard would also affect it.

"What if he grows up and started saying f** k you Xavier, no, no no I can't even imagine the look on his face, but I know it will be fun to witness." a silly smile hung on her lips, as she tried to picture an image of Xavier being cursed at by their child .

< There's someone more important carrying his baby , wake up already > an angry voice pushed her back to the room.

"That's right, I'm only dreaming , how did I forget he already has a woman with him." She reprimanded herself, standing up, she walked into the sitting, with the thought that watching movies would help get her mind off him, since that was what she needed at that moment.

" Xavier, it should be something small, and low key, I don't want the media around. Glory informed Xavier,on their way to the car.

Today they will be going to the magistrate office to have their marriage registered, since it was something small and they only need five people. Thanks to the maids and guards, they were able to fix the number, no friends, no family, not like it was necessary anyway.

Even as she drove them to the registration office , poor Judith was still in a state of disbelief, trying to figure out what was going on with her boss.

"Another marriage?, that too with Ms Glory?Did I misunderstand their relationship?,But he's yet to divorce that silly woman." Now she couldn't help but feel sorry for her previous madam .

{How would she react when this news reaches her? , what about the child?,or is the boss planning on marrying two women?.} Judith finds herself trying to fit in Clara's shoes but she doesn't think she will still remain calm if any man should try this with her.

<This woman is even becoming more shameless and disgusting.> She secretly glared at the woman comfortably resting her head on the chest of a married man.

After the certificate was signed and they were pronounced husband and wife ,they stepped out of the office only to be greeted with flashes of lights from the media friends .

A crease appeared on his face ,< what was going on?.> He wondered, turning to Judith he asked, "How did they come to know about today?"

Judith was equally confused by the sudden turn of events ," how did this happen?, What's going on?"

Even though these people maintained a good distance ,as no one dared to ask any questions because of how cold the man's expression had become and the fact that he never appeared on the news.

If not for the camera with them ,no one would know that they are from the media house, since none of them came with their ID .

They continued talking pictures of the new couple, without asking a thing.

" If I see a picture of us in any magazines , newspapers or news Channels, the Media room will kiss it last goodbye to the world. "Xavier threatened, his cold words caused them to drop their camera and one after the other they disappeared from the scene.

" Judith, protect Flora , since you can't do anything right! " He glared at her.

Judith was furious , when that stupid woman was around she didn't wasn't walk up , she thought everything would be fine,if the boss had this woman beside him, but it turned out she was wrong,this has proven to be her worst time since she started walking with lotus .

On the other hand, Xavier was even more angry, because deep down he already knows how those people got the information , his only concern, is what would be Clara's reaction if she gets this news, she will misunderstand him, which was expected, since he haven't reached out to her for a while now,how will he explain the fact that it's a fake marriage and the fact that he didn't contact her for so long, the only reason he was still claim was because of the little informations he got from Tony's daily report on her.

He also missed them, but he can't contact her especially now that he already discovered the truth. Any mistake on his part will only make things difficult for her and that was the last thing he wanted.

" Honey, what's going on,out there?How did these people get to know about today?" Glory sounded anxious and frightened,she hated being the center of attention but there's no way to escape these people today.

" Ssshh, everything will be fine, I won't let anything happen to you and our baby. " Xavier assured her, even though it was difficult to play her game, he still remained calm but deep down he was irritated by her voice.

Meanwhile, back at home , Clara was busy watching the entertainment news on a popular K-Pop boy band, when her phone rang, she picked it up after seeing the caller's ID.

" Hello, Clara, what are you up to this afternoon? " he asked, if she had paid close attention she would have dictated the worry hidden in his voice, even though he tried to conceal it.

" I'm at the parlor watching TV, why ?" She replied, filling her mouth with popcorn..

" Nothing, can you turn it off, and get dressed? I went to take you out tonight, I don't know if you are not bored staying inside all day long. " he complained.

Clara was reluctant at first but on a second thought she did as she was told, just a second before the business news if only she delayed she would have seen the most shocking revolution on screen.

*******

Clara quickly got dressed , after staying indoors for so long she was starting to feel bored , which was why she accepted his invitation even though he was not the person she would have loved to spend tonight with.

It's now the last month of the year, couples could be seen in almost every corner of the street because of the coming festival. The Streets were decorated with lovely colors and flowers with lots of romantic lights.

A beautiful couple could be seen holding hands, with the guy's strongly built body one could tell how protected the little lady was, the man would smile and laugh lovingly at whatever the lady says, his eyes were filled with love and affection only for that lady beside him.

On seeing that her winter coat was not well covered he quickly helped her in adjusting it and her black fluffy scarf wrapped around her neck.

This eye catching couple were no other but Alexander Qin and Clara Davis, after seeing the news , that made headline today, he was supposed to be happy but he wasn't, instead he became very worried more worried than he has ever been but this time not for himself or his family members, it was for that certain pregnant woman, who was home alone, what if she comes across this news and went into labor out of the shock?,What if she passed out?.

Only God knows how he could still control his emotion and stopped himself from screaming on the phone when she informed him that she was watching the entertainment news, because he knew after that comes the business news.

If he could,he would have teleported himself and would have appeared right beside her ,but he couldn't instead he preyed that she at least listen to him, thankfully she did, her baby is close to coming into this world and the last thing she needs is disturbing news like this.

" It's really cold today, try not to catch a cold ,okaym ,we are almost at the theater. " He whispered to her, the people around them were dying from envy , mostly the ladies because of how handsome the man was and jealous of how God took his time to beautify the lady.

" This couple is really beautiful," a lady couldn't stop herself from commenting.

" Ay, I can't imagine how their children's beauty will be out of this world. "Another chimed in.

" Oh no girly, I think the goddess is already with a child." another passerby exclaimed hitting her Friend beside her

" At least my mood is better now, seeing this couple made my day. Unlike president Rey, this man knows what's beautiful. "Her friend said, taking a picture of the couple.

" Don't even mention him, I still can't believe that man left such a beautiful woman, for a round faced elephant , that goddess Clara, was far more beautiful than, that,gosh,why am I even comparing an angel to a devious snake?."she ask slapping her forehead lightly.

" Those people are very shameless, I don't think he even divorced his first wife before all this second marriage charade. "

Those young ladies sounded very angry because of which their voices were slightly higher than they should be , particularly everyone in city A, have heard the news except the female lead.

" President Rey is even more shameless than the lady." another woman correctively added with a sneer.

Clara heard this but she was really confused , <which president Rey Were These people talking about?She looked at her left side and saw a small crowd gathered in front of a building with their eyes focused on a big screen. She followed their gaze and she was dumbfounded by what she saw.

" GLORY!! What is she doing on the news? Did she get into some trouble with the big boss but she now has Xavier beside her..... " She stopped talking when she saw the headline .

" Se..... Se.., wh..... what is this I'm seeing , look at what those people are saying in the news , it must be a big misunderstanding. "

she knew that a day like this might come ,but the outcome was far from her imagination even though the man's face was well covered but the headline and Glory's face were enough to successfully pass the message " REY AND DAVIS ENTERPRISE SEPARATED AS PRESIDENT XAVIER GOT HIMSELF A NEW WIFE ."

" WHAT WOULD BECOME OF THE YOUNG MS DAVIS NOW? " With a slide another picture was shown, this time it has three people in it although it's just her side profile. Her face was not that obvious, she was at the right, him in the middle, while Glory was at the left.

" Don't look at them Clara, let's go." Alex inwardly cursed himself for being foolish. If he knew things would end up this way ,they would have stayed at home but now she finally got to know of his betrayer.

" Yes ,you are right, let 's go home , I'm really exhausted right now. '' her voice was barely a whisper and her face had become deadly pale

" Clara don't do this please, your baby is still there,if you continue like this you may hurt him." Alex tried reasoning with her.

<><><><>

Back at home Clara was lying motionlessly on the floor, while staring at the white stainless ceiling, while Alex was quietly accompanying her.

" Clara,it must be a big misunderstanding , I don't think he will do such a thing and even made it public ,when he rarely comes out in the news, I think someone is playing planks on us." Realizing that her happiness matters a lot to him more than anything else, Alex started making excuses for Xavier, unable to bear seeing her looking lifeless.

At the Ceo's office Ryan could be seen acting crazy , his office has been turned upside down , no thanks to him , almost everything on his desk was on the floor now .

"XAVIER REYNOLD you bastard, I will destroy you if anything should happen to my niece, consider yourself dead, because I will go all out on you this time, I promise."
