Hidden Flash Marriage: Love Me Back, Mr CEO

He never expected this from her.

This was betrayal of the highest order. How could she?

Alicia’s body writhed in pain from all the rigorous shaking but she ignored it.

That wasn’t her major concern right now.

Little aches here and there were nothing compared to the issue on ground.

“I-I didn’t do it.” Her voice broke and hot tears streamed down her face.

“I swear on my son’s life, it wasn’t me. I don’t know how it happened. I only just saw the news a while ago. I swear.” She muttered amidst tears.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Liar!” Minister Lewis was not having it.

“I swear, I didn’t do it. What benefit will I derive from all of it? My life is also at stake-no agency will want to work with me again-I’m also affected here, I did not do it. Believe me.” Alicia cried harder.

The man’s eyes blinked. That was true.

Besides, come to think of it, Alicia couldn’t have pulled any of those strings.

The reports about him came with concrete proof. Where could his babymama have gotten all those evidence from? And how?

It was impossible.

“How could it be me? Just how?-You’re my baby’s daddy!”

That was right. Minister Lewis came to a sudden realization.

So, who did it? That person or those people, must be after his life because…

But he didn’t remember offending anyone… Or did he offend anyone?

Slowly, he released his grip on Alicia and the lady slumped on the couch, crying hard.

Clara comforted her by patting her gently on the back.

Initially, Alicia had no idea that the internet had turned upside down with the news of her and her married lover.

It wasn’t until Clara rushed down to her place very early in the morning and played the news tape for her that she realized she was in hot soup.

That was to say Alicia was completely innocent.

It had to be them. Minister Lewis was now a hundred percent sure that it was his enemy’s handiwork.

After a few seconds passed, he crouched down beside Alicia and took her hands in his.

“Alicia, since things have turned out this way, it will be best if you and Dawson leave the country.” He patted her hands gently, staring directly into her eyes.

Alicia opened her mouth to protest but no word came out of it.

Although she didn’t want to leave the city, deep down, she knew that was the only choice she had.

That was also what her manager was suggesting before her sugar daddy barged in on them.

She had to leave. Here was no longer safe for her and her precious child.

It wouldn’t take long before people started pointing accusing fingers at her. Her freedom would be completely restricted.

She’d become a laughing stock-in fact, she was already one.

A home wrecker, a slut, wrench, a whore-they would become her new names if she didn’t flee.

She really had to leave. For the sake of her son.

Alicia would never let her son grow up in toxicity. The hardship her son would face if they stayed back in the city, would be more than hers.

He’d be neglected and separ from his peers… He’d be referred to as a home wrecker’s son, a bastard, and a child born out of wedlock.

And herself, she’d be accused of sleeping her way to the current state that she was in right now. Even though she wasn’t an A-list or B-list model, netizens would call her names all the same.

Alicia resigned to her fate.

Just as she was about to open her mouth and ask where she and her son were to go, a voice came from the doorway. “So, it’s true.”

The three people currently seated on the couch turned their heads in that direction.

Minister Lewis’ mouth dropped open immediately.

Alicia fell into daze… There was a middle-aged woman standing at the door.

How the woman was able to enter, no one knew. And the exact moment she entered the apartment, no one had any idea.

But the woman… Alicia found her strangely familiar.

She was about to open her mouth and ask the woman who she was but then, she noticed there was tension between the woman and her baby’s daddy.

The two were gazing directly into each other’s eyes.

Alicia looked away from her sugar daddy to the woman, then back at her sugar daddy.

It then dawned on her. That woman was Minister Lewis’ wife.

She was in deep shit.

She swallowed back her question and beads of sweat began to form all over her body.

After a while of silence, “So-it’s in-deed true…” Madam Lewis’ voice broke as she spoke.

She had her eyes fixated on her husband whose bum remained glued to the chair.

Although earlier on, deep down, she knew what the newscaster said was true. About her husband having a child with someone outside their home.

Even though she knew that it was the truth, she still hoped and prayed for it not to be.

And to think the man she called her husband had looked her in the face and lied… He blatantly denied the allegation.

How pathetic.

–

After watching the news, Madam Lewis didn’t go back to sleep. She stayed awake, in silence, till dawn.

And then she suddenly felt her husband quietly slip out of the bed, and out of their room.

Even that alone was enough to confirm that it was true. The allegation.

Nevertheless, she still convinced herself that that wasn’t the case.

With her heart pounding hard against her chest, she also got out of bed and rummaged through the closet for a cloth to wear. She found a Burberry Greige cotton and wool double breasted trench coat and quickly wore it on her pajamas.

She headed out of the house and trailed her husband’s car in hers.

Then after a while, he parked the car in front of an apartment and walked into the apartment.

Minister Lewis had been so furious that he forgot to shut the door when he stepped into Alicia’s apartment.

With the door open and their voices loud, Madam Lewis was able to hear their conversations from outside.

And then she heard her husband tell his side chick to leave the country.

She had heard enough, so she walked in on them.

–

“I-l- I can explain.” Minister Lewis stuttered.

Madam Lewis felt her heart grow heavier and her head began to pound hard.

Wasn’t it bad enough that he was cheating on her with some cheap girl?

But that was still fair. She could handle that. Afterall, all men cheat.

They’d been married for several years and their marriage had lost its sweetness. It was expected of her husband to be messing around.

But to think that that stupid thing between his legs went ahead and malfunctioned, and bore a male child-a male child that it was unable to give her…

Then Madam Lewis’ eyes darted over to Alicia. With that girl?

That, she couldn’t take.

Without warning, she rushed at the girl and pounced on her.
