The Billionaire Husband’s Betrayal novel Chapter 16

Chapter 12: Claire’s POV

I arrived at Jasmine’s house and remove my things from the taxi. I had forgotten how large Jasmine’s home is. Jasmine was a second–generation wealthy woman by birth right and a fashion designer by talent but she’d never make you feel that way. She was giving and genuinely kind. She was an amazing friend and I was grateful for her. Especially after what’s happened today

I bring in my belongings and sit on the couch allowing Jasmine to comfort me after I share every detail of this disastrous day that was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life.

“What about your marriage, Claire? Do you really want a divorce?” I could see the worry on her face. She knew much I loved Leonardo.

“I think I’ve suppressed myself for so long by being with Leo. I have to consideration that I have a child now. I’m pregnant.” I look into her eyes expecting the worst of reactions. But Jasmine was beaming in a smile. She was so excited for me and excited I’d

told her.

“Does Leonardo know?” She asks quietly as if his ears were nearby.

“No. I didn’t get the chance to tell him.” Although he gave me the chance, I decided against sharing the news of our child with him. I couldn’t bring myself to.

My greatest fear is that no company will even consider hiring me after hearing I have no

experience in architectural design and that I was pregnant.

I thought Jordan’s offer for a moment. It seemed genuine but I quickly reject the idea. I don’t think it’s healthy to work for your friends and the thought of disappointing Jordan was not something I could bear. I didn’t want our friendship to be affected by my employment especially after I had just seen him for the first time in over five years.
