Married to the loveless CEO-Chapter 148: Game

"Hello ..." Silvia’s voice echoed weakly in the room, as she picked up a call.

[Hello? Silvia? Are you okay? Davian called me, he told me to check up on you because you locked yourself up all night. This is 7am, are you okay?]

"Did he tell you why?" Silvia asked.

[...]

"He cheated Cia. Davian cheated on me with Becca." She thought she had cried herself empty all night but more tears were still falling.

[That’s... that’s absurd. I’m sure there’s a perfect explanation for this. Talk it out with him, will you? Knowing you Silvia, I’m sure you didn’t give the poor guy a chance to explain himself-]

"I did. It’s the usual silly reasons of men. He was drunk and then this and that, I don’t give a f*ck! It’s the fact that he lied to me multiple times when I had asked-"

[Would you have reacted differently if he had come clean from the beginning?]

"..."

"I don’t know." Silvia replied after some while of silence.

"Why did it have to happen? Why must I suffer what my mother did? I don’t want us to end up like my parents Cia." Silvia continued to sob.

[Then talk it out.]

Beep ...

Moments later, Silvia stood up and opened the door slowly. She saw Davian sitting on the ground close to the door, his back was leaning on the wall as he inclined one of his legs and outstretched the other.

His eyes were shut.

Silvia continued to gaze down at him until his eyes finally fluttered open.

He stood up almost immediately he saw her frame standing close to him.

"Silvia ..." He started. Her eyes were puffy and still wet with tears and her nose was a slight shade of pink.

The sight of her like this really broke his heart and knowing he was the reason why she was like that hurt him more. He reached out for her but she moved away from him.

"Silvia I’m... I’m not cheating on you with Becca, what happened that night was just a one night stand, it never repeated itself again. About the video... Becca is blackmailing me with it," Davian continued to explain himself.

She wanted to believe him, but wasn’t that how they all begin? No- She shook her head, she knows him, he wasn’t like her father. He would never hurt her, or would he?

She knew Becca was capable of blackmailing him; But all these thoughts didn’t soothe the pain in her chest. She had trust issues but now it would get worse. She doesn’t know if she’d be able to trust him again.

But also, she loved him and she wouldn’t want anything or anyone to come between them.

"Okay." She just responded dryly with a nod. But that was enough fire of hope for Davian that they were going to be alright.

He hugged her, she didn’t hug him back but he continued to embrace her dearly.

His phone began to ring. He brought it out from his pocket and they both saw the caller ID, it was Becca.

His eyes went to Silvia, "I’ll just ignore it."

"No, pick it up and put it on speaker. Let’s see what she wants." Silvia replied.

Davian sighed.

{Hello Davian, I have something important to talk to you about. Let’s meet up now at the Barnes cafe. I don’t need any excuses, you already know what is at stake if you refuse to come. See you!} BEEP!

And just like that she hung up without even giving him a chance to speak.

’So she was truly blackmailing him,’ Silvia thought.

"I won’t go, she has nothing against me now." Davian declared.

"No... You should go," Silvia responded.

"Why? I don’t see what’s so important that she wants to talk to me about. That’s how she has been, calling me up for unnecessary reasons knowing I’ll comply," Davian replied.

"We will go Davian," Silvia continued.

" ’We’?" Davian questioned.

"Yes we. Let’s go put an end to this." Silvia added.

***

Becca sat at one of the tables outside the cafe as she waited for Davian. But when his car finally came to halt, he wasn’t the only one that came out. She was very much surprised to see Silvia and she could feel the murderous aura hovering around Silvia as they got closer to her.

Becca stood up by the time they got to her.

"Why is she here Davi-" Silvia slapped the words out of her mouth.

"The game’s over Becca, you’ve had your fun but it’s over now. I don’t want to see you close to Davian anymore and FYI- You’re fired! Just feel lucky that I’m not suing you for blackmail." Silvia uttered angrily.

Becca began to laugh. It agitated Silvia so much.

"I don’t see what’s so funny. Let’s go Davian." Silvia responded.

"The game’s only over when I say it’s over," Becca started as they were about to leave.

She turned to Davian, "I’m pregnant, Davian."

"..."

It was as if the god of silence flew over them. There was silence for some while, then Silvia broke the silence with her laughter.

"You think I’m fooling around! Here," Becca brought out some test and scan results. Davian collected it.

"I’m two weeks gone and you’re the father Davian," Becca told.

"Some test results that you might have fabricated doesn’t prove anything," Davian replied tossing the papers at her.

"For all we know, a blackmailer like her might not be really pregnant. This was your plan all along right? You tramp!" Silvia spat.

"I’m not fabricating anything here. You can carry out the test yourselves in any hospital of your choice. I am pregnant Davian and you’re the father, would you really abandon your child and I?" Becca responded with tears in her eyes.

’No! This can’t possibly be happening.’ Silvia thought.

She chuckled, "You’re such a good actress Becca. You deserve an award." Silvia ended and started walking away. She felt her world crumpling.

What if she was telling the truth? What if she is really pregnant for Davian.

Becca grabbed Davian’s arm, "I’m not lying Davian." She said with pleading eyes.

Davian sighed and turned away to leave as well.
