Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Zanvil was standing in the living room waiting for his wife to come down. It was almost 7 pm. They were going to the party his business associate Mr. Wayne held. Then he heard the clicking sound of heels. He turned around and his breath hitched. There was standing his breathtakingly beautiful wife looking all gorgeous in her black deep V neck dress that hung loosely from her waist with red 2 inch high heels.

Her hair was in an elegant side bun with few strands coming out messily. She was wearing small diamond earrings. She didn't wear much makeup. She just wore a red lipstick and deep black eyeliner and mascara with blush on her cheeks. She was glowing like a goddess because of her pregnancy. He was looking at her without blinking. He wanted to ravish her there till she got tired of screaming his name. Eleonora got nervous because of his stare. Maybe she wasn't looking that good. But he definitely looked really handsome in his black suit. Unknowingly they matched their outfits. She came down and bit her lips in nervousness.

"Do I look okay? Should I change?" She asked as she looked down at her outfits. Zanvil didn't say anything to her and just looked away.

"We are getting late, come fast," he said coldly and turned to the left. Nora felt really hurt. Tears were threatening to come out of her eyes but she looked away. She followed him silent. She felt like she looked good today but everything changed when he behaved like that.

She climbed in the car and looked through the window. Zanvil was busy typing on his phone. He didn't even look at her when she entered the car. It made her more upset. Soon they pulled in front of the venue and Zanvil quickly came to her side to open the door but Eleonora beat him up by opening the car's door by herself. He didn't say anything to her, just pulled her to his side by her waist as they entered the party. Everyone's eyes were on them as they walked in the hall.

"Don't leave my side." Zanvil whispered in her ears. She shivered when his hot breath touched her skin. A man in his early 40s came and greeted Zanvil.

"Ah Zanvil, finally you came. I was waiting for you." He said as they shook hands.

"And who might be this beautiful lady?" He said as he took Eleonora's hand and kissed on the back of her palm. Eleonora smiled at him politely.

"Mr Wayne, This is my wife Eleonora. And Eleonora, this is my business partner Mr. David Wayne" Zanvil introduced them.

Eleonora mumbled a small hi and nice to meet you in a soft voice. Mr. Wayne smiled at her brightly.

"I see she is pregnant too. Congratulations." Mr. Wayne said happily and Zanvil thanked him. He bade his bye and said to them to enjoy the party.

Eleonora noticed everyone present there were from high profile like Top models, actors and businessmen. Zanvil was introducing her to his business associates When a model looking girl with Blonde hair came and hugged Zanvil like her life depended on him.

"Zan! I missed you. Long time no see." She said as she squealed like a barbie.

"I was busy with life Stella." Zanvil said curtly. Stella was about to say something when her eyes landed on Eleonora whom Zanvil was holding by her waist.

"Who is she?" Stella said as she glared at Nora who looked down. She knew that girl. She was the girl with whom Zanvil used to go to parties and the paparazzi shared a lot of juicy gossip.

"Meet my wife Eleonora Williams. And she is Stella Brown. My business partner's daughter and a good friend of mine." Zanvil introduced them. Nora looked up and said a small hi. She didn't reply to her, instead asked her another question.

"Are you pregnant?" She asked as she glared at Nora. Nora looked at her dumbfounded. Was she crazy? Couldn't she see her huge baby bump.

"Yes. We are expecting our first baby." Zanvil said with a smile when Nora didn't say anything. Stella threw draggers at Nora like she did some horrible sin.

"Oh! Eleonora would you mind if I steal your husband for a dance?" Stella said with a mocking smirk.

"I won't mind if he wants to dance." She said softly.

Stella rolled her eyes and pulled Zanvil always with her before Zanvil could react.

Nora saw they started to dance romantically. She felt hurt. She thought he would refuse Stella and dance with her instead. But he didn't, instead he was very happy while dancing with her. She looked away and started moving towards the garden's direction. She was feeling suffocated. She needed fresh air.

Nora was walking in the garden when suddenly someone called her from behind. Nora turned around and saw it was Stella.

"Wait Eleonora, I want to talk to you." She said as she stood in front of Nora.

"What do you want to talk about?" Nora asked, confused.

"Stay away from Zanvil. He is mine." She said and crossed her arms.

"What?" Nora asked shocked.

"You heard me right. Stay away from my boyfriend." She said angrily.

"He is my husband." Nora said softly.

"Oh honey he will soon divorce you when the baby is born and then we will marry and take full custody of the baby." Stella said, smirking.

"I-Its not t-true. You are l-lying." Nora said as tears left her eyes. This couldn't be happening. This woman was lying.

"Trust me it's true and it's what Zanvil told me while dancing.." She said and laughed.

"I don't believe you." Nora said stubbornly and walked away.

"Don't be so naive Darling." She heard Stella yelling behind her.

Nora didn't turn back. She came back inside and started to search for Zanvil. She needed to talk to him. But she couldn't find him. She was walking here and there when suddenly she froze. In front of her, her husband was kissing a woman. Not any woman but Stella. She stayed there dumb founded. Suddenly Zanvil pulled away and looked in their direction and his face dropped it's color.
