After The Vows Holding it Together
Chapter 74I stood in front of the mirror for a while after dressing up. My hair was still a bit damp, falling over my shoulders, and my face looked… tired.Not just tired.I felt drained, like everything in me had been pulled out and left empty.I wanted nothing more than to lie in my bed and shut my mind off, but Alice was cooking for me, I hadn’t seen my kids today, and Harry was still waiting downstairs.Get yourself together, Alia, I whispered under my breath.I couldn’t afford to break down or look weak right now. No one could know what Drew had said to me… not now.I took a deep breath and walked out of the room.Downstairs, Harry was sitting, eyes glued to the TV.He looked up the moment he noticed me, and his expression softened immediately.“You’re all dried up now… did you catch a cold?” he asked his eyes filled with concern.“No,” I shook my head, glancing around. I could hear Alice moving in the kitchen.I walked over and sat on the couch, keeping a small distance between
After The Vows Chapter 73-Too much to handle
Alia's pov I held Harry’s jacket together tightly around me. I was still shaking, not as badly as before, but my body was deeply soaked, water still dripping from my clothes onto the car seat.“Sorry… I’m making a mess of your car,” I said weakly to Harry, my voice barely audible.“Alia, it’s fine,” he replied quickly, his eyes still fixed on the road. “I’ll drive faster so you can get home and change before you catch a cold.”“Thank you, Harry…” I whispered, closing my eyes slowly.Harry had called at the right time.I was still walking under the rain, confused, not knowing where I was going or what I was even doing, when my phone rang. It rang several times, but I didn’t pick up. When I finally did, it was Harry.I couldn’t even say anything to him.I just kept crying.Within minutes, his car had arrived to pick me up.I knew he had so many questions to ask me, but even till now, he hadn’t said a word about why I was walking under the rain like a stray cat.I didn’t even know how I
After The Vows The man I was .
Chapter 72Drew’s POVEvery part of me wanted to run after Alia.My legs even moved at first, like my body hadn’t gotten the message yet. Like it still believed I had a right to go after her, to grab her arm again, to stop her from walking away like that.But I didn’t.I just stood there, watching her push the gate open.Her body was shaking badly from the cold, her steps unsteady, but she didn’t stop.My eyes didn’t leave her. Not even for a second.Not until she was completely out of sight.“I’m the reason she looks like that…” I muttered under my breath, my voice barely audible.The rain kept falling hard, soaking through my clothes, dripping down my face, sliding down my neck.I should have been cold.But I wasn’t.My chest felt too tight for me to notice anything else.You’re better off forgotten in my memory than being my reality.Those were Alia’s words to me.And they broke me more than I could even admit.Those words meant I should have stayed buried in the past.Not someone
After The Vows My kids deserve better
Chapter 71Drew looked at me as my laughter became louder, like I had gone crazy.And maybe I was.Who wouldn’t go crazy hearing that the man she was once married to for two freaking years, a marriage that didn’t have a single blissful moment. ended up being the same man she had been trying so hard to remember… just so she could give her kids a father?I shook my head in disbelief again.I dragged my fingers through my hair in frustration, pulling it slightly, hoping this was a nightmare I could wake up from.“Alia…” Drew finally said, his voice low. “I know how all of this looks, but please… we can get past this. Priscy said…”I raised my hand immediately, signaling him to stop.“Priscy…” I repeated, my voice shaking. “I need to confirm it with her myself.”I wiped the tears from my eyes with the back of my hand. My hands were trembling badly as I reached for my phone.Priscy had given me her card earlier.My fingers fumbled as I dialed her number, almost pressing the wrong digits tw
After The Vows A truth too cruel to Belive
Chapter 70 “That child in that picture is me, Alia,” Drew repeated. Despite hearing it for the second time, my heart still sank, dropping heavily in my chest like something had been ripped out of place. I couldn’t fathom it. I bent down and picked up the picture, leaving the shattered pieces of the frame on the floor, my fingers slightly trembling as I stared at it again. People do have doppelgängers… that’s normal. But what isn’t normal is that Drew’s childhood picture looks exactly like my Liam. My throat felt dry. I slowly lifted my head and looked at Drew, finally finding my voice. “Okay… why are you showing me this?” I waved the picture at him, my voice shaky, almost like I didn’t recognize it myself. His jaw tightened slightly, his eyes fixed on me like he was waiting for me to see it I wondered if he could see the resemblance too. “Alia… you see it, don’t you?” I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t. “Liam and I…” he paused, running a hand through his h
After The Vows Painful memories
Chapter 69Alia’s povWhat was I even thinking? I whispered to myself the moment Drew left to bring his so-called truth from upstairs.I just stood there, folding my hands. My chest felt tight as I looked around the place I once called home… a place that never felt like home to me.A lot had changed.All the bright colours I had used were replaced with darker ones. This wasn’t Kirah’s decoration. I knew how she liked loud colours.This was definitely Drew’s.The wall where our wedding picture once hung was empty. There wasn’t a single thing that showed I was ever here.I shook my head slowly.It was even better that way.I proceeded to sit, but stopped halfway.The same couch I had once walked in on Drew and Kirah kissing was directly opposite me.Instantly, memories came rushing in.This same spot…This was where I faced one of the worst heartbreaks of my life.This was where I signed those divorce papers.“What are you doing here, Alia…” I muttered under my breath.My eyes drifted a
After The Vows A goodbye I never got to say
Chapter 23Alia's povSome people say marriage can stop you from reaching your full potential.For me, it wasn’t marriage.It was how much of myself I gave away trying to be loved.I was so busy trying to get Drew’s love and acceptance that I forgot the great things I could do on my own.If someone

Chapter 24 I stood in front of my parents’ house with the kids by my side. I felt stuck. The door was right there, but I couldn’t bring myself to go in. I was afraid that once I was inside, it would finally feel real that my dad was truly gone. I knew it in my head, of course, but my heart refu

Chapter 21The drive to my mum’s house was blurry. I barely remembered how I even got there. My mind was stuck on one thing alone the truth. Everything Priscy had said kept replaying in my head, over and over again. It felt like there was a war going on inside me, my thoughts clashing, refusing to

Chapter 22I swallowed hard as I waited for Alia’s parents in their home. This was the first time I was seeing them after the divorce. I straightened my suit jacket, checking my reflection in the hallway mirror. I had worn one of my best suits, sprayed my best cologne, and even got a fresh shave—no
