Chapter 37

“I’m not just going to sit here and watch another man take my place,” I said the moment Louis opened the door.

My voice was tight with anger.

I didn’t even wait to be invited properly before walking in.

I had gone straight to Louis’ house after leaving the hotel. He was the only one who could understand my current situation since he knew the truth about Alia and the kids.

“I can see that Alia’s mystery man made you mad again,” he said, closing the door behind me.

  • After The Vows   Every mother Nightmare

    Chapter 152“I’m sorry, Alia…” Alice’s voice kept shaking as she held onto me. “I’m so sorry…”She knelt in front of me, both her hands gripping my shoulders as tears flowed uncontrollably down her face.I had just one question to ask. A question I’d been too scared to ask. It was every mother’s worst nightmare.Right now… not knowing was killing me.My lips parted slowly.“Are…” The words just couldn’t get past my throat. I swallowed painfully before forcing them out.“Are my children…” I ran my hands through my hair. I just couldn’t say the last word.My eyes drifted back to the blood covering Alice’s clothes.There was so much of it. How could two little children lose this much blood?My fingers dug into Alice’s arms as I looked at her with so much desperation, trying to summon the courage to say what I was about to ask.“Are my babies still alive?” I blurted out, my voice shaking uncontrollably.I didn’t get a reply.My whole body started trembling uncontrollably.I looked from Ali

  • After The Vows   Whose blood is that

    Chapter 151I took a step back as those words left Harry’s mouth. My entire body went weak. I trembled in a way I never had before. My hands grabbed the chair beside me for support because it felt like I could pass out at any moment.I looked at Harry.“What twins?” My voice shook as the words left my mouth.I waited for his reply. He had to be making a mistake.“There has to be some misunderstanding.” A nervous laugh came out of me even as my eyes filled with tears.Harry still didn’t say anything. His silence frightened me more than any answer ever could.“Don’t just stand there. Answer me!” I screamed.“Alia, I…”He stopped.“You what, Harry?” I cried. “Go on! I’m waiting. You’re not talking about Liam and Luna.”He looked away.My hands slowly curled into fists at my sides.“No…” I shook my head. “No, that’s impossible. They’re at home.”I turned to Drew “You saw them, didn’t you?. They were fine when we left.”Drew didn’t say a word.His face had gone pale, and I could see the pani

  • After The Vows   As sweet as red velvet

    Chapter 150Alia’s POV“Kyle is no longer being an idiot, is he?” Drew asked, dropping his cutlery onto his plate before wiping his mouth with a napkin.I pushed my plate aside and took a sip of water before answering.“No. He’s not. In fact, he has already signed the divorce papers.”“Hmm.” He nodded. “That’s good news. Let me know if he becomes a problem for you or Alice again.”“Nah, don’t worry.” I swirled the wine in my glass. “I can handle him. I don’t need you playing the hero.”He smiled.“Really? Is it such a bad thing to want to protect the woman I love?”I coughed loudly, almost choking on the wine I had just swallowed.“Are you okay?” He immediately leaned forward and handed me my glass of water.I waved my hand while coughing.“I’m fine.” I chuckled between coughs. “I just wasn’t expecting that.”“Sorry.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “That was a bit too forward.”I looked at him and laughed.“Just give me a warning next time.”The waiter came over and cleared our plates b

  • After The Vows   Just the two of us

    Chapter 149Drew’s car came to a stop in front of one of Seattle’s finest five-star restaurants. I looked out the window before unbuckling my seatbelt. One look at the place was enough to tell me it wasn’t just another restaurant. Everything about it screamed luxury.I turned to Drew.“Isn’t this place a bit too fancy for a business dinner?”“It’s perfect,” he replied before getting out of the car.Before I could even reach for the handle, he was already opening my door.“Thank you.” I smiled as I stepped out.“My pleasure.” He bowed his head. I shook my head, smiling, and together we walked toward the entrance.The moment we stepped in, the first thing that caught my attention was the beautiful melody coming from the pianist. The music somehow calmed my nerves.I glanced around the restaurant. The interior was superb. Candles glowed on every table, and the waiters stood in position as though they had been expecting us.But what stood out to me was that there wasn’t a single customer

  • After The Vows   An evening with her

    Chapter 148 Drew’s POV I sat inside the car for almost two minutes after turning off the engine. My fingers tapped absentmindedly against the steering wheel before I glanced at the clock on the dashboard for what had to be the tenth time. Seven o’clock. Right on time. I let out a slow breath. What if she’d changed her mind? Knowing Alia, it wouldn’t even surprise me. She could easily open the door, look me straight in the eyes, and tell me she’d suddenly remembered another meeting. I rubbed the back of my neck and laughed quietly to myself. “You’ve negotiated billion-dollar contracts,” I muttered. “Why are you acting like a nervous teenager?” Because this wasn’t business. Not to me. I knew exactly what tonight was. I had called it a business dinner because if I’d been honest and asked her out on a date. She would’ve said no before I’d even finished the sentence. This was probably the closest thing I’d get to a date with her, and I wasn’t about to ruin it by pushing too har

  • After The Vows   One step closer to peace

    Chapter 147“For real?” I screamed. My hands flew to my mouth in shock. “That’s good news, Alice!” I grabbed her shoulders, shaking her happily.“Best news I’ve heard in my life,” Alice laughed. “Everything is almost finalized now. We just have to meet with the lawyers one last time and conclude everything.”I threw my arms around her.“Oh my God. I’m so happy for you.”She hugged me back tightly.“I still can’t believe it. It finally happened.” Her voice cracked slightly.“I know.” I gently patted her back.She pulled away and blinked .“Can’t spoil this moment by crying,” she sniffed, wiping away her tears before letting out another laugh.“Oh, Alice… those are tears of joy.”“Yeah.” She smiled. “I’m just glad he finally came to his senses.”I smiled.“he didn't, he finally realized he had no choice.”She giggled.“Either way… I’ll take it.”I reached over and squeezed her hand.“You deserve this. You deserve to be happy and have peace.”She looked down at our joined hands before smiling
