The Billionaire's Baby (Key to My Heart Book 3) Read Online Free
Author: Ella Cari
little time to process it all. He'd blamed himself for the divorce of his parents for a while, and though he no longer spoke of it, it was a definite possibility that he continued to blame himself still.
We’d all known that Alissa and George were having an affair, even Karina wasn't in denial deep enough to ignore it. Yet, no one said anything, no one brought it to light. There was no confrontation and no discussion.
And here they were, George and Karina divorced and Alissa well on her way to a piece of the Davis fortune.
Mrs. Grant probably couldn't be more proud, aside from if Alissa had managed to snag Sebastian. Judging from her own marriage, she’d probably groomed Alissa for this life from the start.
"Of course, I won't be having too much fun." Alissa laughed into the microphone, sending her gaze across the room until she locked eyes with Sebastian, "I am expecting a new baby Davis after all!"
As cries of excitement and surprise erupted across the room, except from the woman's parents, who politely clapped with knowing smiles, Sebastian spat out a shocked rush of champagne. He slid back in his chair, all but dropping his glass back down on the table as Shirley turned to face him.
"Well goodness," She chirped, eyes locking on my own in the same piercing way that Karina's did, "It looks like yours isn't the only Davis baby."
Sebastian stood up stiffly, chair falling backwards, as Alissa lifted her glass to everyone, finally drinking from their champagne as he quickly strode out of the ballroom.
I shot to my feet to chase after him, only catching the faintest hint of a smug smirk from the blushing bride to be as I whirled on my toe and followed after my husband.
My stomach lurched, nausea boiling up inside my stomach. Butterflies wildly danced like tiny little kickboxers all over my insides.
I couldn't be sure, however, if it was from the baby or from Sebastian's shocked response to the startling news.
Had that just been surprise in his reaction? I couldn't help but to feel as though there were much more going on behind the scenes of this wedding than I was privy to.
I couldn't help but to feel as though Sebastian were hiding away something deep in his heart.
Chapter Four
I woke early the next morning, alone in the room I was supposed to share with Sebastian.
Last night, after unexpectedly hearing the news of Alissa's pregnancy, my husband had all but vanished into a mysterious cloud of smoke. He refused to answer questions, refused to wait for me to catch up with him, and refused to acknowledge what was going on.
In the end, he’d gotten away from me, ignoring my calls of his name. His back remained steadfastly turned. He didn’t even glance in my direction.
Whether or not he was even on this island anymore or had booked a spontaneous flight back home was something I didn't know. I'd slept clutching the cellphone, waking constantly to check if he was beside me, but both the hallway outside our room and the phone in my hands remained silent and unbothered. I'd even worked up the courage to call him myself, dozens of times actually, but those continually were sent to voicemail.
Now I was going to have to go to that wedding all by myself.
Slowly, I spread my arm out next to me, running the length of the undisturbed blanket on the left hand side of the bed.
Why had he left so abruptly?
...Was it possible that he had something to do with Alissa's baby, was that his child growing inside of her?
I turned onto my side, grabbing the pillow and squeezing it against me for dear life, as though it were a life raft and I was slowly sinking into an ocean of despair. What would I do if that was the case? What could I do?
If that was the course of things, there was literally nothing that could be changed at this moment. The only way to keep Alissa from having Sebastian's baby was to go back in time.
No, I'd just have to suck it up and deal with it. Sebastian and I were married, after all, and
