She's My Innocent Billionaire

Robert POV:

I was sitting outside of her room. I was completely distressed and didn’t know what to do. I was getting excited, but at the same time scared. 

I was waiting for some good news, but it had been so much time and my heart was swelling up. I needed to hear those words now.

I got up, took a lap around the hospital, and came back to my place. It had been one year since our marriage, and I was happy. But right now, I was so stressed out that everything seemed to be completely blurry. 

I had to find a way out. I knew that a big heap of happiness might be awaiting me, but right now, things were difficult. The worst part? I couldn’t be with her, and she couldn’t be with me.

I waited for the doctor to come out. Finally, a nurse stepped out, but when I saw her face, I knew something wasn’t right. My heart broke even before she said anything because I interpreted everything that happened.

No…her pain, her everything, it shouldn’t have ended without any fruits. It shouldn’t have gone in vain!

“Tell me that what your face is saying is wrong,” I said to the nurse.

She looked down. “We are sorry, Mr. Robert…but there is something you should know.”

“Yes?”

“It seems like she took, or was given, abortion pills.”

“What?”

She sighed. “We can’t say anything, but she needs you right now. She is having a mental breakdown. She doesn’t seem to have taken them herself.”

I nodded slowly and went inside. I went to her and sat beside her. She was crying badly.

We were finally going to have our first child…but…I didn’t know what happened. Everything was perfect! She was going to give birth soon! So, what happened?

I didn’t have time to worry about it right now because Hailey was completely breaking down. I wanted her to know it was okay, but she was crying badly. She was going through so much pain!

“Hailey…it’s okay…” I whispered to her and took her hand. “It’s fine. It is gonna be fine.”

She cried more. “How? How is it gonna be fine, Rob?” she sobbed. “This is so wrong! What did I do to deserve this? I have been waiting for almost nine months and now…”

I wiped her tears away. “First, calm down.” I caressed her forehead. “See, you have a fever? Calm down.”

She wiped away the rest of her tears. “R-Rob, I don’t know! I am so scared…I am so tired…I am so sad…”

“Don’t be scared, Hailey.” I took her hand. “I am gonna find out who did this soon, okay?”

She sobbed and nodded. “But…now what? Robert…you were so excited for this…”

“I know. And I know that you were even more excited, Hailey…but we can’t do anything about it…so don’t think about it too much, okay?”

She sobbed and nodded. “Okay.”

“Now, just get some rest, and we will go back home soon.”

She nodded again. I sat by her side.

In the last year, it seemed liked nothing had changed, but in reality, everything changed. We were closer than ever. She loved me, I loved her…and we were the happiest couple.

She proved that she was the best wife, and well, it took time, but I tried to be the best husband too. When she had asked me to, I left the Mafia then and there, so I hadn’t contacted any Mafia leaders or members since.

I had been living with her and since I was the CEO, tried my best to ensure that I spent time with her, and give her the love she deserved. We were doing fine with no obstacles. We didn’t have anything to worry about, and I had no enemies that would make me worry about our child.
