Bella's PoV

"Relax Mrs Alfonsi, everything is perfect. Mr Alfonsi is going to love all this." Rita our head maid said patting my shoulder.

"I hope so Rita and how many times I have to inform you to call me Bella" I said furrowing my brows but smiled lightly.

Ever since I shifted to this mansion Rita was always there for me. When I first entered in this mansion I thought I was  alone but Rita was the one who give me company whenever I felt bore. She taught me cooking delicious meals because I suck it in cooking. She's mother figure to me.

"Now go and get ready, I will go and check all this" she said gesturing to the food I cooked for today's special day.

"Okay, thank you Rita" I said hugging her

"Your welcome dear and happy anniversary." She greeted with her million dollar smile. I smiled and thanked her before going upstairs to get ready.

I can't believe we completed our one year anniversary. It's still feels like we are in High school and dating without our parents knowing. After dating for almost two years we decided to get married in a church. The wedding was not so big only closet family members and friends were invited. That was the best day of my life. Firstly my parents denied with our decision but after seeing his love for me they eventually gave up and now here we are married for one year. Though Mahir never let me work because according to him he don't want to stress me with works. I understand his point of view and decided to just stay in our home. I graduated with bachelor degree in designing because it was my dream to build my own company rather than to take over my father's. My father Mr Liam Grayson was well known business man in California but now my brother Jack took over the company after I get married.

Dismissing my thoughts I decided to take a long shower after that I applied vanilla lotion all over my body to smell good. After thinking for almost five mins I chose red off-shoulder knee length gown for the evening. Applying some concealer and blush I decided to let my hair fall down. To match with the dress I applied Red lipstick and mascara to complete my look. Wearing small pearl earrings and flats because I can't take risk wearing those 6 inch heels when I know I'm not alone now.

It's still 5:30 in evening I decided to wait for him in the living room. I took my phone to check any call from Mahir but there was nothing. Did he forget what's today? No, Bella stop thinking negative he must be busy in his meeting. And why not he's the CEO of Alfonsi Enterprises. He took his dad company when his father thought it's time to make him responsible. It was weird at first because Mahir never wanted to be a business man it may sound creepy but he was play boy in our college but after dating me he stop all this and decided to work for his dad's company. They are just like my dad's company well known in New York.

"Bella, everything is ready. I should get going now." Rita said when she saw me coming downstairs.

"Thank you Rita. Good night" I said smiling at her to which smiled and left.

Now it's just me here waiting for my husband. I can't help but feel nervous suddenly. Is this because I'm alone or the news I'm going to tell him. From past weeks I felt nauseous and morning sickness. Firstly I thought it's the stomach bug but after consulting to docter I confirmed my suspicious. I'm pregnant. We are having baby. When I got to know that I'm pregnant I was overwhelmed with this feeling I wanted to tell Mahir as soon as possible but chose to surprise him on our anniversary. Today I'm going to tell him the best news of our life.

I hear the horn of Mahir's car indicating the security to open the gates and immediately sequel. I make my way towards the couch ready to see him.

Few mins passed and Mahir enters the mansion with a smile on his face. Seeing his smile I smiled immediately but soon it fades away when I see a woman accompanying him. I can't recognise her they both are smiling widely as she speaks. I clear my throats getting their attention. My eyes widen when I saw her. It's her. Brittany, Mahir's secretary. I look at him and his smile change into smirk. Why is he smirking? Mahir slowly wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her close to him.

What. The. Fucking. Hell?

I furrows my eyebrow in anger but he keeps smirking at me. Without uttering a word he leads her to the guest room while the woman smirk at me. What the problem with this two?

Is this some kind of joke? Is he trying to make me jealous or something? It's not making me jealous it's irritating me. Few mins passed and Mahir come downstairs.

"What the hell, Mahir?" I screamed forgetting about our special day.

"Stop screaming at me" he yelled at me making my heart stop.

"I want you to leave my house right now and come back to my office tomorrow to sign the divorce papers" he says, pulling out two glass for drinks.

"Divorce? What the hell you are talking about, Mahir?" I asked angrily.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" He shouts in my face. I take a step back with his sudden Change in tone. He never shouted on me, let alone talked harshly towards me.

"How can you do this to me? Are you just with me for my money? Tell me you bitch?" He shouts slicing my heart with his words. He just call his wife a bitch?

"Are you fucking crazy Mahir? Do you know what you are saying?" I yelled unable to control my anger. How he accused me?

"Don't act innocent. I know everything" he said rolling his eyes at me.

"Trust me Mahir I don't know what you are saying?" I say as tears start to fall without my permission.

"You fucking cheated on me dammit" he said shocking me. I cheated on him? When?

"Listen I didn't cheat on you. I would never do that you. I love you, Mahir only you" I says wiping my face which was now draining with tears.

"I know everything. Don't act infront of me" he said clenching his hands

"No I didn't" I screamed. Them something happens that was never expected. Mahir raises his hand and slap me hard across my face which would definitely leave a mark. I look at him with blurry gaze as tears flowing again and again.

I can take the harsh words and accusations but not this. He promised me he would never do that. He vowed it. I never expected this to happen.

Mahir's eyes widen as he registered what he just did but his eyes show anger. My mouth is open in shock. I try to say something but nothing comes out. His action left me speechless.

Without saying another word I walk to our...my old bedroom and pull out the suitcases from the walk-in closet. I collect my things and stuff them in the two suitcases. I drop them on the floor and take a look at the room where we both had many memories. The room where we made love for the first time. The room where we conceived our child. I placed my hand on my stomach and let out a sob. My baby. I shake my head, and pick up my suitcases again and walk out of the bedroom. I pull the suitcases down the stairs looking at the picture of us
hanging on the wall. Picture of our first date, a picture of us infront of the Eiffel Tower, picture of us at our wedding, our first kiss as wife and husband. Picture of us at our honeymoon and many more with our families.

Mahir had his arm around Brittany's shoulder and she has her arms around his torso. He looked at me and bend down to kiss her on the lips. My heart shatters again and again as he looks at her the way he used to look at me. I walk towards the door and look back at the house I lived for years. I open the door and put the suitcases out. As I step out, a hand wrap around my wrist and I turn back to see Mahir. His touch burn me even now. I can't understand how does he do that. My eyes meet his but they are emotionless. Didn't he love me all this time? Didn't he trust me?

"I want you to come to my office tomorrow" he said and leave my hand.
"You have to sign the divorce papers"

"Okay" and without another word, I walked out of the house and his life.

"Mommy-- mommy"

My trance was broken by my baby.

"Yes baby" I said looking at him. We were in living room watching his favourite show 'paw patrol'. After my encounter with him in my office I can't focus on my work so I decided to stay at home with my little bundle of joy.

"Someone is at the door" he said shaking my hand when I heard a knock.

I checked the time showing 7:45. Who might be at this time? I placed Alex to couch and walk towards the door. I
Opened the door only to surprise by my brother.

"Hey baby sis" he said smiling at me
