Chapter: Chapter 5Not His:I was too shocked to say anything.The anger in me couldn't let me think of the word.I felt my hands tighten into fists as I thought about his bold words. He actually had the guts to propose that I should sleep with him . What the hell ? I turned to him , my eyes flashing red with anger and I felt like slapping that stupid smirk off his face."Don't be ridiculous."" You're merely overreacting." He said casually."Overreacting?" I asked.Markos moved nearer, his tall figure creating a shadow over me. His gray eyes stared straight into mine, unwavering."Ecca, we used to be married.What's the problem with it? Did you forget how things used to be?"I stopped in my tracks, his words deeply resonating with me.

"I wouldn't ask if I had any other You're the only one, please, your blood type is the same as Leo's. The hospital has used up all their donors and he really needs a transfusion."Markos had his hands across his chest, his eyes twinkling like he was happy I was here begging for his help. A stupid smirk on his face."Why should I help you, Ecca?" he said slowly, his voice sounding smooth and sarcastic. "Where is the boy's father in all of this?" I winced. He always found the right place to hurt me, the spot that made me feel vulnerable. "It's a long story, Markos." I asked and I knew he was thinking his cousin that I had a one night stand with wa

Chapter: Chapter 3Arrogant MarkosI hurried through the hospital halls, smelling the strong antiseptic. My heels clicking was the only sound I heard as my heart kept pounding. I felt confused and couldn't focus. I stopped a nurse at the desk."Excuse me," I said with a trembling voice, worried about my son, my baby."Where is my son, Leo? He was brought to this hospital after an accident."The nurse gave me a kind look and gestured to a room down the hallway. "Room 312. The doctor is already in there with-" I didn't wait for her to finish talking.I rushed down the hallway and opened the door with my hands and was shocked when I saw him.Leo was lying on the bed, his head and hand heavily bandaged and he was so pale."Mommy." He said his voice barely above a whisper."I'm here, sweetie," I said, quickly going to his side and holding his hand that wasn't hurt. "Mommy is here." A gentle tap on the door caught my attention. A tall man in a white coat, who had a kind but serious look on his face, walk
