Chapter 42

Drew's pov

I had my fingers crossed when I sent those sandals to Alia. What if the kids fall next time and no one is there to stop them? Those thoughts were spinning in my head as I left Louis’ house. I stopped at the nearest kids’ store and picked out sandals for all four of them. I kept wondering if I got the sizes right or if the kids would even like the colors. I remembered standing at that store for hours, checking different collections and feeling confused about which pairs to

  • After The Vows   The confession

    Chapter 132The drive to my house was a quiet one.Drew and I didn’t have any other conversation.All I had were my thoughts.Just couldn't stop thinking about whether the scandal was really going to be over after Drew’s press conference or if Kirah would finally stop interfering in my life.I glanced at Drew briefly. His eyes remained fixed on the road.How fast time flies.I remembered how angry I was the first time I saw Drew after returning to Seattle for my dad's burial.His presence irritated me back then.Where did all that anger and resentment go?What scared me the most was the fact that I was getting a little comfortable having him around.And that was wrong.It was better if I kept my distance from him.Not just because it was the right thing to do, but because of my kids too.I couldn’t have him pressing me for a DNA test.Even though he hadn’t brought it up after I warned him, sometimes I forget the possibility that Drew could be my kids' father.Actually, that was for th

  • After The Vows   Words I never expected

    Chapter 131 “Can we go inside my car? I don’t think it’s a nice idea to talk outside like this just in case someone or reporters see us,” Drew said to me. I glanced around. He was right. Without saying anything, I brushed past him and headed toward his car. The moment we got inside, Drew sat there quietly, his hands resting on the steering wheel. I frowned. “I thought you wanted to talk. Why are you not saying anything?” I turned to him impatiently. “Look, Drew, I don’t have much time. I need to get back home.” He let out a breath and adjusted in his seat. “I’m sorry about the scandal.” “You’re sorry?” I raised a brow. “Sorry is not going to change the fact that my reputation is being dragged through the mud.” “I know, but—” “But what?” I cut in immediately. “I’m sure you know Kirah is the one behind this. For God’s sake, why can’t she just leave me alone?”I snapped at him. “I know it's all my fault and I’m currently working on ending the scandal.” I laughed bitterly. “

  • After The Vows   Not my hero

    Chapter 130Why is Drew here? I thought immediately.“Drew baby!” Kirah’s face lit up instantly the moment she saw him.She practically jumped in excitement.He'd better be here for her and not me.I quickly looked away and faced the officer instead.Kirah hurried toward Drew immediately as he walked into the station.“Babe, they hurt me badly…” she complained dramatically, showing him her arm before stretching her hands forward for a hug.Drew brushed past her completely.Kirah ended up hugging the air.Priscy burst out laughing loudly beside me.I could hear a few officers nearby trying to hide their laughter too.“I have never seen anyone as delusional as Kirah,” Priscy whispered beside me, chuckling.I turned slightly.Kirah stood frozen on the spot.Her face had turned completely red while her chest rose and fell heavily.I honestly couldn’t tell if it was anger or humiliation at this point.Even a blind man could see Drew was truly done with her.But Kirah was obviously too delu

  • After The Vows   Locked up together

    Chapter 129Kirah and Priscy were still at each other’s throats even after the police arrived.The officers literally had to drag both of them apart while they kept throwing insults at each other.Kirah was placed in one police car while Priscy and I were pushed into another.The entire ride to the station was chaotic.Priscy kept muttering curses under her breath while Kirah, from the other car, was still screaming like a madwoman outside.By the time we arrived at the station, my head was already pounding badly.The police station smelled heavily of old files, coffee, and sweat. Officers moved around busily while a few people sat on benches waiting to be attended to.And somehow… our chaos continued there.“Officer, I’m telling you, this woman—” Kirah pointed at me across the table. “She came to my house with her little minion to beat me up!”“Liar!” Priscy snapped immediately. “Tell them how you threw the first punch first!” She pointed angrily at Kirah. “My friend and I were defen

  • After The Vows   Chaos at Kirah's door step

    Chapter 128 “You are the whore!”Priscy lunged forward instantly, but I grabbed her arm quickly before she could reach Kirah. “Let me handle this,” I said to her. I looked directly at Kirah, my chest rising heavily. “How can you even do this to your fellow woman because of a man?” I asked angrily. “Do you even realize how ridiculous you sound?” “I don’t care about looking ridiculous,” Kirah snapped immediately. “As long as I make your life hell for taking what was rightfully mine in the first place.” “You can’t make my life hell, Kirah.” My jaw tightened. “I’ve come too far to let a lowlife like you destroy me.” Beside me, Priscy was practically vibrating with anger. I knew she wanted nothing more than to tear Kirah apart. “Please take your sermon somewhere else.” Kirah yawned while resting her body against the doorframe. “You did all this because you think I have something going on with Drew?” My voice cracked slightly in frustration. “How many times do I have to tell you I w

    Chapter 127“I don’t know if I want to see him right now, Alice.”Alice sighed softly and sat beside me on the bed.“But avoiding him isn’t the best approach right now.”“I know…” I rubbed my forehead tiredly. “But I just need to clear my head first.”“I understand that,” she replied gently. “But please, Alia, don’t beat yourself up over this. People will always talk.” She squeezed my hand lightly. “You did nothing wrong, okay?”“I just wish this didn’t happen. I honestly don’t know what Kirah wants from me.”“Where does that Kirah bitch live? Because I need to talk to her right now.” Alice’s hands clenched into fists.“I’m heading to her house now,” I said immediately. “But you can’t come with me. I need you here with the kids.” I sighed deeply. “You know mum traveled… I wonder if she has seen the news yet.”“No, she hasn’t. If she did, she would have booked the next flight to Seattle immediately.” She shook her head. “But I still don’t like the idea of you going there alone.”“I’ll

    Chapter 31Alia POVMy bed was scattered with clothes I had pulled out of my luggage. I stared at them for what felt like minutes, wondering what to wear. Everything I picked felt too much, flashy, and wrong. A red gown caught my eye. I picked it up and held it in front of me at the mirror. No… tha

    Chapter 30 Alia’s POVI watched my mother watering her plants from the kitchen window. We had enough staff in the house to handle the chores, but these days I noticed she preferred to do them herself. I knew she was trying to keep busy, to push away her pain. Outside, she appeared strong, but I co

My mind wouldn’t let me focus on work knowing Alia was close by. I had said I wanted to give her some time to he

You have no business being here.” My chest tightened, a mix of frustration and exhaustion pressing down on me.“I came to pay my respects.” He spoke calmly
