A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 255

“It's nothing…” Lies. It was clearly something a lot. I stared at my hands, allowing myself a few heartbeats to calm my racing heart before turning back to her.

“Is it Alex? Did he do something? I'll fucking kill him if he so much as…” And I knew she would do it. She was that girl.

I laughed at her theatrics and shook my head. “If anything, he's been nothing but sweet. I just don't feel married…”

I spoke honestly. It still felt new to me. He had been around our residence for some times now that he felt more like a roommate than a husband if you counted last night out.

My face heated at the memory for the millionth time today. Last night was something indeed.

“Okay, I have a feeling if you weren't already pregnant, you'd be. You have that look…” She wiggled her brows teasingly, a sly smile stretching her lips.

“Faith!” I gasped and covered my cheeks with my somewhat powdered hands.

“You know it's true…” She's right. “But it's a good thing. I'm happy for you Raina. Have you told the kids yet?” About being married or the baby?

My brows furrowed, one lifting up in question. “About both, girl. The baby and you know, daddy and mummy getting back together. They deserve to know…”

Right, again.

A heartbeat passed, then another. Her words sank in deep and I realized I hadn't talked to my kids in a while. I pulled out my phone, but spun around to get her permission. I hated not being a part of the baking. She smiled and nodded at the same time, telling me it was okay.

I had just dialed grandma's phone when the front door burst open. Dominic and Alexander stormed into the living room with expressions that glued me to my spot.

Alex stalked over to me, his expression so dark he looked murderous.

Breathe, Raina. My mind screamed at me. I hadn't even felt the tightness in my chest. I spun on my heels not wanting Alex to see me choke on air. He couldn't suspect me.

But I felt him behind me. His hands were on either side of my arm. I saw his shadow before he touched me. And I heaved a breath when he did, not that his touch burned. “You don't look too good Raina. Did something happen?”

He turned me to face him but I couldn't look him the eye. What if I exposed myself? “You don't seem too shocked about Nathan's arrest.” His eyes were searching my face and I had to force my eyes up to meet him.

“He was bound to be arrested sooner or later. Maybe Karma caught up with him…” Even I didn't believe in what I had said. Not because it wasn't true, but because of the way my voice sounded.
