Chapter 67

The drive to the construction site was quiet.

Neither of us spoke about what had happened earlier.

I knew Drew had a lot to say, but he was holding it in.

Maybe it was better that way.

I was sitting in Drew’s car again.

My car was still at the mechanic, and this was a business meeting. I couldn’t create unnecessary drama about wanting to take a cab.

So I adjusted.

The low hum of the engine filled the silence as we drove, the tension sitting heavily between us.

  • After The Vows   Kyle proposal

    Chapter 85 “Why are you here, Alia… or do you miss me?” Kyle said, leaning back slightly, a smug smile playing on his lips.“Please don’t flatter yourself,” I replied dryly. “I’m here with Alice’s lawyer.”“Why didn’t that idiot of a secretary tell me you had company?” he muttered under his breath, clearly annoyed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.“Mr. Kyle,” the lawyer began, placing the documents neatly on the table, his voice calm but firm, “my client has been trying to reach you for a formal meeting, but you’ve refused to respond.”He pushed the papers slightly forward.“These are the divorce papers. My client believes you are already in possession of the first copy sent to you.”Kyle didn’t even glance at the documents. His eyes stayed on me, steady and unreadable.The lawyer adjusted his glasses, his tone turning more official.“Mr. Kyle, I strongly advise that you take this matter seriously. Avoiding communication will not stop the legal process. If anything, it only

  • After The Vows   Fear isn't an option

    Chapter 84My hands flew to my mouth in shock as I stared at the phone on the floor.What did I just read?For a moment, I couldn’t even move. My chest tightened, my heartbeat loud in my ears.I got out of bed and picked the phone up slowly, my fingers trembling as I stared at the screen again.The words were still there.Next time he will not be here to save you.So there was going to be a next time…The person was referring to Drew. My grip on the phone tightened.I needed to take this seriously. This wasn’t a joke anymore. First, it was the package, then I was followed and almost got hit, and now I’m getting threatening messages.This person wanted me to be afraid…And it was working.I felt cold suddenly. I quickly turned my head toward the door, then the window, like someone might be watching me.This was getting out of hand, and I, Alia, would not crawl under the bed shaking in fear.I needed to act now.I dialed the number that had just sent the text, my fingers moving fast.“T

  • After The Vows   The message

    Chapter 83Alia’s POVWho was behind that wheel… that’s all I have been thinking about. I couldn’t get myself to forget all that happened today.Whoever drove that car had just left a message by their actions, letting me know I wasn’t safe.I remember how paranoid I was as I drove back home.I kept looking at the rearview mirror, my fingers tightening around the steering wheel, my eyes moving every few seconds.Each time I saw headlights behind me, my heart skipped.Were they following me?Were they coming to finish what they started?But what scared me the most was my kids. I didn’t want them to be in any danger.I heard a knock on my door.My heart jumped immediately. Shit… even in the comfort of my room, I was still paranoid.“Come in,” I said, adjusting myself quickly.The door opened and Alice walked in. She was holding two cups and a glass of wine.“Hope I’m not interrupting anything,” she said, taking a chair and sitting down.“No, you’re not,” I replied with a small smile.“Ok

    Chapter 82By the time I got home, the doctor was already waiting. Now I could feel every pain in my body as I moved, my ribs aching with each step as I walked in.“Drew!” I heard my mum call from upstairs.Shit… she shouldn’t be here. “Hi mum,” I said, walking over to where the doctor was sitting.“I need some painkillers,” I said to him urgently.“Let’s go to your room so I can start treatment immediately.”The doctor stood up immediately “Oh my days…” my mum gasped, her hands flying to her mouth as she rushed toward me. “What happened? How did you get all these injuries?”“It’s just a little accident, mum. I’m fine,” I said, trying to wave it off.“No, you’re not, Drew,” she said, holding my shoulders and turning me slightly, her eyes looking all over my body. “Nothing about this is little, Drew.”“Mum, I can’t talk now,” I said, turning to the doctor. “Let’s go .”There was no way I would tell her everything that happened. My mum still didn’t know the truth about Alia and her kid

  • After The Vows   A pain worth taking

    Chapter 81 Drew's pov My body ached in pain but I had a big smile on my face, like I had just won a lottery… and honestly, this felt bigger than winning a lottery. What had just happened to Alia was a tragedy, but the words Liam and Luna said to me… made my heart flutter in a way it never had before. I opened my car with my left hand and got in slowly, my body protesting with every movement. The moment I sat, I felt the blood rush down my face again. I looked at the napkin Luna had given me. Nah… there’s no way I’m using the first gift I got from her to wipe blood off. Wait… this was the second gift. The lollipop was actually the first. I couldn't help but smile. I slipped my hand into my pocket and brought it out, staring at it for a second despite the pain running through me. Luna is such a sweet girl… I let out a small breath, then reached to the back seat, stretching carefully. A sharp pain shot through my side, making me pause halfway. “Damn…” I muttered under my breat

  • After The Vows   He took the hit

    Chapter 80 “Alia!” I heard Drew scream. Everything happened too fast. One second I was standing there… frozen, staring at the car. Next thing, it was already coming straight at me. I wanted to move, but I couldn’t. I didn’t know if it was shock or fear… but my body refused to respond even when I knew I was in danger. Then suddenly— A strong force hit me.Drew shoved me out of the way. I fell hard to the ground , The car sped past the exact spot I had been standing making a loud screeching sound. My ears rang loudly. I pressed my hands against them. My head was spinning. For a moment… everything went blank. “Ouch…” I felt a sharp pain in my back. It must be from the force when I hit the ground. I blinked slowly, my vision clearing bit by bit as I heard voices. “Mum! Mum, are you okay?” Liam and Luna cried out. They were kneeling beside me, their hands shaking as they held me. I must have scared them badly. “I’m fine… babies, don’t cry,” I said quickly, forcing a small sm
