The Billionaires Babies Mother by Mah Ama

Chapter 1: break-up

In Australia, Simmer Down restaurant.

Andrea sat down with a smug smile on her face as she stared at her fiance who occupied the seat opposite her. He had called her over the phone that he had something important he wanted to speak to her about.

The air was filled with nothing but peace and tranquillity but Philip's silence had started having an effect on her. They had been staring at each other for over 10 minutes and none of them took the initiative to speak.

Her curiosity got to the peak, making her break the silence. 

“ Darling, why did you suddenly call me over to our favourite restaurant? ” Andrea said as she flipped the menu lazily.

Philip pressed his lips together and she could tell from his expression that he was tense and put in some sort of pressure.

He grabbed hold of her hands making Andrea raise her head from the menu as her gaze returned to his well defined face that seemed like a jade carving.

 How could someone look this good? That was exactly the thought running through her mind.

“ Boo relax, I know we are entering a new phase of our life tomorrow. You know getting married to you has always been my biggest……” before she could come to the end of her speech he cut her off.

“ I'm sorry I can't get through with the marriage” he broke the news instantly.

He couldn't watch her having forced hope over something that was now impossible.

Andrea burst into laughter “ boo you  know how to make jokes now huh? you know this is not funny ” she said.

Philip remained silent for a while thinking on how to place his words he didn't want to sound harsh.

“ Andrea, I'm serious, I'm calling off the wedding, ” he said again with a straight face.

The smile on Andrea face slowly faded, tears were already welling up in her eyes.

“ Is this some kind of expensive joke, huh Philip? ” she said with a hoarse voice. She suddenly felt as if there was a lump stuck in her throat.

She couldn't be bothered by the people staring at her right now.

“ why? Tell me did I do something wrong? I promise to change, please just say something, ” she said, gripping his hand as if he was about to run away.

Philip yanked his hands from her grip, he turned his head slightly away from her.

“ I really need an explanation of what is going to happen to all the preparations we made. I mean the hall, the guests, the food……”

“ The wedding is going to take place but not with you, ” he announced.

Andrea froze, the tears she had been holding back began to fall on her cheeks.

“ not with me? Who and what are you talking about? ” she asked with a crushed voice.

She couldn't help but ask all the questions her brain could come up with,her mind was currently in anarchy.

Before Philip could speak they heard the sounds of a lady's heels beating the ground, the sounds of the footsteps approached them and slowly came to a halt. 

“ I will answer all your questions dear Andrea  ” she heard a familiar voice rang in her ear.

She abruptly raised her head and as she had thought it was her younger sister Lisa.

Andrea's gaze flickered in confusion. “ What's going on here? ” she said as she watched Lisa wrap her arm around Philip's neck.

Lisa turned to her with a smug smile “ Philip Myers and Lisa Graham are getting married tomorrow that's the latest news ” she said.

Andrea suddenly rose from her seat “ what nonsense are you talking about Lisa ” she said raising her voice.

Lisa turned to Philip as she pouted her lip like a kid that was wronged.

“ won't you say something ” she said coquettishly as she stroked his hair tenderly.

“ I'm getting married to Philip and that's it ” Lisa said again.

Andrea became infuriated; she abruptly raised her hand and hit Lisa on the face. “ smack! ”

“How could you betray your own sister? I have never done anything to offend you, have always treated you  better than anyone and you stabbed me in the back “ Andrea yelled.

Philip's silence only made her more furious and she could feel her blood boiling already.

Andrea raised her hand to hit her for the second time but this time Philip grabbed her hand and swung a slap across her face.
