A Matter of Wife and Debt Chapter 21
Javier’s PovI went over to my wine cellar and took out a bottle of my regular alcohol and a wine glass. Placing them on my desk, I poured some into my wine glass which I gulped down at once. It's been two hours since Dr. Montes came and took the blood sample of Victoria’s baby for a DNA test. Should the result turn out to be true, what should I do? How am I going to react to this sudden news?No. It can't be true. I know that I was drunk that night, but I'm almost certain I didn't touch Victoria. My train of thoughts was interrupted by a light knock at the door before it opened. I turned to see Daniella come in. She carried with her a tray containing a teapot set. My guess would be coffee in there. I haven't spoken to her after last night — probably couldn't look her in the eye now. I've just locked myself up in this study of mine, trying to distract myself from thoughts of Victoria and her mysterious child. So far it's not working. “I made you coffee.” She said, placing the tray

Daniella's Pov“Apparently, her parents coerced her into the marriage because of my wealth. It was all about the money… all about it. But then and there I wanted to throw away all the confession she made if only she could look into my eyes and tell me she loved me a little bit. She didn't..” he said, looking all emotional.I really don't know what to say or how to react right now. How could I have known Javier is this broken on the inside?All the while I thought he would be the reason why his ex-wife left, but I was wrong. A part of me felt guilty for accusing him so wrongly in my thoughts.He had loved Victoria, I could see that in his glistening eyes as he told his story. He had loved her and she broke him beyond words. What could I do to console him?I found myself taking slow steps towards him and soon, I was beside him. With shaking hands, I gently guided his head to rest in the embrace of my arms.. Surprisingly, he didn't resist. “Do you know what hurt the most?” He asked and

Daniella's PovI am happy that Natalia’s so happy, she went over to her father after cutting the cake. I and Penelope started cutting it properly so it could reach all the kids. Looking up to see what father and daughter were up to, Javier's spinning Natalia in her arms while she giggled.I smiled on how happy they looked. Javier seemed to have stopped smiling with his gaze now shifted toward the main entrance. A frown evident on his face, it made me wonder what he could be frowning at. I followed his gaze through the crowd to see a woman standing at the main entrance door with a wrapped up shawl in her arms.Who is this woman? She looks oddly familiar from afar. Why does her presence seem to make Javier uneasy ?“Penelope, who's that?” I asked, my gaze still fixated on her.“Who’s what… Victoria?” Penelope gasped, and I looked at her in confusion.“Who is Victoria?” I couldn't help but ask since it's clear that she knows that woman as well.“That's… that's Javier's ex-wife, Natalia’

Daniella's PovI find myself waking up to the knock on my door, I groaned as I sat up. I looked at the wall clock.7am.It feels like it's been a short night. The knock on the door came again, snapping me out of my thoughts. I came down from the bed and made my way to the door. I opened it to see it was Penelope.“Good morning Penelope.” I greeted with a small smile.“It's time to wish Natalia, come on.” Penelope gestured in excitement.I almost forgot about that!“Oh dear, Give me a sec.” I said and made my way to my bed.I grabbed my gown robe and made my way out to where Penelope was waiting for me outside. I almost came to a halt when I saw Javier standing right in front of Natalia's door with the cake we made last night.Thinking about last night made me recall our moment from last night and it brought some weird tingles. He signalled Penelope and I to come over already which we did. Reaching to where he stood was only when I found Juan standing there too, looking all profession

Daniella's PovI swallowed hard and I took slow steps towards the kitchen. I almost screamed, but shut it when I saw it's Javier. He seems so engrossed in whisking the eggs that I doubt he noticed my presence.What on earth is he doing here whisking eggs at this hour of the night?“What's going on?” I asked as I entered the kitchen.“I know you are not blind.” He said, barely sparing a glance at my direction.I frowned at him because of his statement and the attitude in it.“Clearly I know I am not blind, but I'm asking what exactly you are doing beating eggs at this hour when you should be on bed.” I said, making my way to the counter to have a proper view of what he's doing.“Baking.” He said rather blandly. He still didn't look up in my direction as he put in some sugar into the whisked eggs in the bowl.“Baking? Baking what?” I blurted out in somewhat surprise and confusion.“I usually bake Natalia's cake on her birthday so that is what I am doing.” He said, putting in some baking

Third Person's PovShe picked up her baby from the nursery cradle where the nurses had kept him. She had delivered about few days ago and really delighted when she discovered the gender of her baby. She knew that this baby will be her ticket back to the life she once walked out on.Her thoughts got interrupted when her private ward door went opened and Diego walked in. She suddenly felt irritation at the sight of him.“What are you doing here, Diego?” She asked, making sure he knew how displeased she is to see him.“You delivered for days now and you couldn't inform me about it?” Diego asked, sadly.“Now you know, what difference does it make?”“Vicky…”“What is it you want Diego?” She asked, trying to control how pissed she is right now.“I am here to see my child, and you mi amor.” He said and she scoffed.“How many times do I have to tell you that this child doesn't belong to you.” She said, trying not to raise her voice.“If this child isn't mine, then whose baby is it?” Diego ask

Daniella's PovThe air conditioner is on, so why is he restless? Should I call for help? It's late and everyone must be sleeping by now, it won't be good to disturb them and make them worry all over again. What do I do now? His body is burning up, what can I do?Think Daniella!A thought popped into my head. Cold water.I rushed into the bathroom and filled a bowl with cold water and then took a small towel along. I came out and sat on a chair close to his bedside. Setting the bowl down, I pulled the blanket away from him completely. I dipped the towel into the cold water and squeezed out the water a bit before using it to dab his forehead lightly. My dad usually did this to my mom each time she had a fever at night, and each time, the fever went down. I hope it works on him.🔹🔹🔹Javier's PovI wake up to the sun rays hitting my face. I groan as I try to get up, I suddenly felt this shooting pain in my head. I held my forehead, but a wet short towel came off. I frowned, I don't

Daniella's PovHis face is so close to mine that our noses could almost touch, I could feel his breathe lightly over my face. My heart thumped in unsteady rhythm in my chest, I swear he could hear it. Staring into his eyes this close, I realize how beautiful they were, hypnotizing too. Maybe that's why I couldn't look away.I find my eyes parting ways with his and landing on his lips which were a bit far from mine.What if he closes the distance and our lips touch?That thought really made my heart thump even more faster. I could feel something in my stomach too. I have never experienced a situation like this.What is this feeling I'm experiencing? The door opening made him come off me, and brought me back to reality. I looked up to see who came in, I felt so embarrassed to see it was Juan. I know I am not meant to be embarrassed because whatever we were doing, it's not wrong as we are couples.Wait!What am I even talking about? Whatever we were doing? We weren't even doing anythin

Daniella's PovIt's been days now since that incident that happened to me. I've been trapped in the bedroom everyday all in the name of resting and that's really furstrating. If not for this phone Javier gave me, I think I would've gone out of my mind by now. Today I've made up my mind to step out of this personal prison. After braiding my hair in a French braid, I made my way out of my room.The hallway's empty as usual. I made my way through it and down the stairs. I could see some house keepers walking all over the place doing their chores. I made my way to the dinning area which is close to the kitchen, there I sighted Natalia sitting at the dinning all dressed in her school uniform while Penelope served her breakfast."Mama!" Natalia half yelled in excitement when she noticed my presence, getting the attention of Penelope."Dani dear, why are you down here? I was about bringing breakfast to you once I was done serving Natalia." Penelope had a worried look in her eyes. "I was get
