Chereads / Empress of my Heart: A new life / Chapter 10 - Congratulations.

Chapter 10 - Congratulations.

"Congratulations" Nikki said without a change in her expression. "But I can see it already"

Vicky's face immediately turned red with anger. She had gone through so much just to get pregnant and have the chance to show off to Nikki. Her husband, John doesn't love her and wouldn't touch her, she had to drug him before he slept with her. And even when sleeping with her, he kept on calling for Nikki. All to get pregnant, she had even allowed that old fart to..

"Madam, your orders" The waiter served the food which gave Vicky enough time to adjust her expression and emotions.

They both quickly ate their lunch with Nikki occasionally cleaning Jimmy's mouth. Vicky couldn't help but stare at Jimmy with hatred. This was her boyfriend's son, he was supposed to be her and James' son but who could she blame but herself. She still loved James that was one of the reasons she tried to meet him before she got pregnant but he was so hard to meet without arousing suspicion.

"I want to meet James" Taking a deep breath Vicky finally said her reason for inviting Nikki.

"You can call him, we'll be leaving now" Nikki said before walking out with Jimmy, she quickly hailed down a cab to go home.

In the cab, little Jimmy already fell asleep. Nikki looked at him and felt her eyes water. She remembered her childhood days with Victoria.

When they were three, their mother, Monica Mark was violent and will always try to hit her. Victoria will always shield her and get beaten instead, whenever she cried and asked her why she did so, Victoria will always say she's the big sister and she must protect her little sister.

The tears she held in her eyes slowly slid down her cheeks. She remembered, after taking the hit, Vicky's eyes will be swollen with bruises on her face and when they asked her what happened, she won't answer so everybody just assumed she got into a fight. When they were seven, she got bullied and Vicky was the one who stood up for her and fought those bullies, by then, Monica had gone to see the psychiatrist and her trauma was gone.

Both Monica and Victoria were always doting on her, spoiling her. Nothing changed when her mother took her to the Legion family to get engaged. Nothing changed when Victoria started dating James. She had no idea what went wrong. Why did Victoria drug both her and James, why?

As her tears kept flowing like a river, the cab finally stopped in front of the mansion. Nikki quickly wiped her tears and paid the driver before she rushed in carrying Jimmy without looking around. She knew Malta would not be around by this time has she had to go to school.

She quickly carried little Jimmy to his room and laid him down. Diving underneath her blanket after running to her room, Nikki cried her eyes until she slept. She knew she shouldn't cry for someone who had schemed against her but she couldn't help it.

While sleeping, she felt someone kiss her tears away. Little hands then wrapped around her as she felt a little body stick to her, the body's warmth comforting her.
