Bound to the Billionaire's Deal

Camelia POV

"Can you hurry up with this?" I asked the nurse checking my vitals.

"Just one more thing, ma'am," she said, wrapping the blood pressure cuff around my arm.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, glancing at my watch as time was ticking away. It was me and Brady's two years anniversary and I wanted to do something special,but I had to stop at the hospital first for a checkup.

I tapped my foot impatiently as I waited for the monitor to read. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure across the room. My heart skipped a beat as he turned around. It was Brady, my husband. "What was he doing here"?

But before I could call out to him, a woman emerged from the crowd grasping his hands. My eyes narrowed, trying to get a better look at her, but I could not tell who she was. Questions swirled in my head. Who was this woman? And why was she holding his hand like she owned him?

"Ma'am, please remain still," the nurse advised, but I was already on my feet, my eyes fixed on Brady and the mysterious woman.

"I'll be back in a minute," I said, tearing off the blood pressure cuff. "I need to know what's happening."

With my mind racing, I hurried towards them.

"Emergency! Emergency!" The warders shouted, rushing in an injured patient on a stretcher and blocking my path. I froze, my eyes still locked on Brady and the woman. Immediately the path cleared I ran down the hallway following them, my heart racing with each step . I caught a glimpse of them going into the gynaecologist's office.

"How can I help you? Do you have an appointment?" the nurse at the reception asked, looking up from her notes.

"No, I'm... uh... with my brother," I lied, pointing towards the office Brady entered. "Can I go in"?

The nurse nodded, and I slipped into the office. As I entered the office, I heard the doctor say, "The baby is doing well and growing very fast," his words sending chills down my spine.

"Baby?" I asked, ignoring the doctor.

Brady and the Lady beside him turned around to look at me, and my entire world came crashing.

"It was the one person I trusted with my deepest secrets-my best friend-sitting beside Brady!"

"Camelia?" Brady whispered.

"Maddie??" I whispered, my voice trembling.

My chest tightened, as I felt my breath knocking out of me.

"Wha...t is going on?" I stammered as tears pricked out of my eyes.

"What baby was the doctor referring to?" My eyes darted between the both of them.

"What does it look like?" Brady snapped, his eyes cold as he gazed at me with no hint of remorse.

"Maddie is carrying my child!" he added.

"Whattt!" I screamed in disbelief. "Maddie, how could you?"

I felt like I'd been slapped. The room began to spin around me, and I stumbled backward, grabbing onto the chair for support.
