Nick's POV

I can't believe she did this to me,she had the nerve of asking me for 20 percent,one way or another I'll get them back maybe if I get her alone I can tell her a few nice words and give her a kiss and she can give the shares back to me,yes let me call her.

I dial her number and she picks up on the first ring,I smile to myself,this is going to be easy because she still loves me.

"Hey Lotus, can we meet up and talk?".

"Who's this?",she replies so this little bitch deleted my number,anyway let me just play it cool.

"Lotus it's me Nick".

"Nick from where and  why are you calling me?", I'm beginning to lose it,who the hell does she think she is.

"Nick lunchester,come on Lotus,I want us to meet up and talk,you and I once loved each other and I don't want us to end our marriage on a bad note I want us to still remain friends so I can also be in Liam's life ,I owe the little guy

Well ,today is the day. I'm moving to Italy to start anew. It is scary but I deal with being a single parent. My dad said I could work for his winery. My parents produce the best wine in Europe and Asia called the loto di vitro (glass lotus).

He wanted to put me as the director but I don't know a thing about the wine business so in the meantime I can work under his current manager Luciano Rucci. My mother won't stop telling me how attractive he is and dad won't stop praising him, he's the son they never had .

"Mom grandpa's plane is just like dad's,can I fly the plane grandpa?", when he mentioned his dad my heart dropped,my dad sees my distress and tries to distract liam.

"Yes you can but only when you're bigger but in the meantime we can go check out the cockpit and take pictures while the pilot gets everything ready",and they get on the plane.

Katherine won't stop taking pictures. 

My dad insists we see a doctor even when I tell him I'm okay. We reach the doctor's and while we wait I excuse myself and go to the ladies room. I look at my pathetic self and frown, why am I crying for a man that doesn't think twice about hurting me,I wish there was medicine on matters of the heart I would have spent millions on if I had to.

Enough lotus how pathetic can you be my God ,he's probably not even thinking about you. How do I tell Liam that his dad is never coming back? My boy still thinks he's the reason Nick left.

I am just in time as they call for me and I head into the doctor's. The lovely nurse gave me a hospital gown so I could be comfortable because the dress I'm wearing was like a second skin. She leaves and tells me that the doctor will be with me soon.

In less than a minute the doctor walks in.

"Hello Mrs Biltran, I'm doctor Fredinand,are you here with someone?".

" Please you can call me lotus Mrs Biltran is my mother and no I'm not here alone I'm with my father he's waiting outside".

" Good since you're still in your first trimester we will do a vaginal ultrasound. The probe used for this does not need to go in very deep,  most women find that it fits comfortably inside the vagina. You will feel the gel to be a little cold but no worries you're unsafe hands. And there we go there's your little one and just a minute you'll be able to hear the heartbeat....there we go".

I hear the heartbeat and I shed tears, I'm so happy I'm really going to be a mother. I can't believe this. That thing is my baby.

"Would you like pictures of the ultrasound?"

" Of course doctor please".

" So everything is fine with the little guy or girl,just continue taking care of yourself and you need to set the date of a dating ultrasound".

He gives me the pictures and I'm so happy I'd kiss this man.

I walk out and run straight into my dad's arms crying

"Oh my dear lottie, is there something wrong with you or the baby".

" No dad, nothing feels better than this, I'm the happiest woman on earth,look at your little grandbaby",I show him the pictures and he hugs me tighter.

"Oh my dear I'm so happy I can't wait for my granddaughter", and he gives me a kiss on my forehead.

"What makes you say it's a girl?",I ask.

" Because I want a mini like Lottie that I can love and spoil rotten".

" And if it's a boy?".

" Liam has already stolen all the love and attention from the two women I love. I don't need another one to get everything completely". I laugh and hug him tight.

" Oh dad I'm happy I can't wait to go and show mom,Liam and Katherine these pictures and then we can start designing the nursery when we go to Italy",I exclaim excitedly.

" Ah yes Luciano and I can start working on the nursery's furniture,he is an excellent craftsman".

" Who's Luciano dad?".

" Oh you'll meet him when we get to Italy sweetie",with that we head to the car and are on our way to the hotel.

Immediately we reach the hotel I'm out and rush to the elevator with my dad following behind me. I just can't wait to show them the pictures of my baby.

"Mom,Liam , Katherine come see pictures of the baby!", and I hear footsteps rushing my way.

"Oh my gosh let me see",my mom yells excitedly,I show her and we begin jumping around and giggling like teenagers.

My dad just shakes his head and sighs walking away. He knows that from now on till the baby is born, he's all we will be talking about. And this means shopping and my mom doesn't do a lot of it, she's like a tornado.

"Why is everyone shouting?",Liam and Katherine.

" Liam sweetie come see your little brother or sister".

" What exactly am I looking at Mommy?",he looks at me confused, I chuckle and hug him tight.

"Are you ready to go to Italy with granny and grandpa?". I ask him and he enthusiastically nods his head .

"Okay let's go order lunch and then we can get packing".

My parents and I are having lunch when I receive another call. I swear if it's Nick, I'm gonna go crazy. What the hell does he want? I spoke to him a while ago when he called and put him in his place.

"Hello, what the hell do you want Nick?".

" Nick?,why the hell are you talking to my husband you slut?",some nerve this woman has to call and call me a slut.

"Who the hell is this?.

" It's me Camille the woman who could do something that you couldn't,I gave Nick a son and I'm going to be his wife he asked me to marry him".

" Some nerve you've got you little bitch,as for Nick you can keep him because he's a little bitch just like you you're meant for each other and stop calling my phone or I'll have you arrested for harassment. And I can easily expose you for what you really are which is a gold digger, I know why you came back to L.A because your family is broke ,you Dad spent all his money on gambling in casinos that's why you came here to try and trap a rich man, I have pictures of you with different men while you worked as an escort,who knows if that kid is Nick's but don't worry sweetie I won't tell your so called husband. Sooner or later though I'll reveal everything and I'll watch as everything destroys him and I can't wait".

" You bitch, you won't do shit because my husband won't believe you,who do you think he'll believe the woman who gave him a child or throne that couldn't?, And as for the main reason I called is because have some dignity and hand over the peach moonstone lotus ring, I want it".

" Oh Camille,if I knew any better I'd say you're jealous and are obsessed with me ,as for the ring tell Nick to come get it in exchange for the rest of his shares and will see if after he is penny less you'll still be with him".

" Shut up, I'm not a gold digger like you",she snapped.

" Oh honey if there's any gold digger here it's Nick I saved his company from bankruptcy and he wanted to leave me with nothing after the divorce so Nick here is the gold digger". And I hung up.

" Oh honey",my mom coos and I hold my hand up and say to her'' mom stop pitying me okay , I'm okay, I'm getting tired of you looking at me with pity all the time yes I love Nick,yes he betrayed and cheated on me,I can't change that now let's eat and just try to forget and move on. I won't forget if you keep pitying me",I know that may have come out harshly than intended to but I'm just frustrated that everyone wants to pick on me and walk all over me.

"Look mom, I'm sorry I didn't mean to be rude".

" It's okay honey, maybe it's the hormones I understand and I'm not offended",she says and gives me a hug. Now this is what I need.

The day goes by and we finish packing. We'll be flying to Italy tomorrow morning on my parent's jet.
