登入Mira’s POV}Vanessa stood in the doorway, her expression calmer than mine. “I came because there’s something you both need to know.” I stared at her, waiting. She took a slow breath. “I’m having a problem with my accommodation.”David frowned. “What happened?”“My rent is due soon, and…” She hesitated. “I don’t have enough money to renew it.”I looked at David. He remained silent.Vanessa continued, “I know this isn’t the best time to come here, especially with everything happening, but I really don’t know what else to do.”My stomach tightened. “What exactly are you asking for?” I asked.She looked directly at David. “I was thinking I could come and stay here for a while.”My heart went completely still. I almost laughed. Stay here? With us? Vanessa seemed to notice my expression, but she continued anyway.“David is Leo’s father. His first son shouldn’t be without a proper place to stay when his father has a mansion like this.”I stared at her. “So you want to move in?” She shook
{Mira’s POV} “MIRA!” David’s shocked voice echoed through the hallway. I froze. He stood in the doorway, staring down at me. I was still sitting on the floor beside his door, my back against the wall and tears covering my face. There was no point pretending I hadn’t been crying. My swollen eyes and tear-stained cheeks had already told him everything. For a few seconds, we simply stared at each other. His expression changed. Shock. Then confusion. Then guilt. “Mira…” I quickly pushed myself off the floor. I didn’t want to look at him. I didn’t want him to ask me why I was crying. Most of all, I didn’t want to hear another excuse. I turned and walked away. “Mira, wait.” I kept walking. He followed me. “Mira.” I felt his hand grab my wrist. I stopped immediately and turned around. “Let me go.” “Mira, it isn’t what you think.” I stared at him. My heart was breaking, yet he still had the courage to tell me that it wasn’t what I thought. “I heard everything, David.” He
Mira’s POV}David picked up his phone. “Hello, Mum.” Because he had put the call on loudspeaker, I could hear Evelyn’s voice clearly from where I sat.“How are you, David?”“I’m fine, Mum.”I lowered my eyes to my food, pretending not to listen. But something about the way David answered made me curious. His voice sounded different. Softer. Almost like a little boy speaking to his mother. I didn’t know why, but I wanted to hear what they were going to talk about. David suddenly stood up. He looked at me for a moment before walking toward the hallway.I watched him disappear into the room. Then I heard the door close. For a few seconds, I remained seated. I told myself to mind my business. I told myself I didn’t care. But my heart refused to listen. I slowly stood up and followed him. When I reached the door, I stopped. I could still hear them. The phone was still on the loudspeaker. I pressed myself against the door and listened.“Mum, there’s a lot happening right now.”“What happen
{Mira’s POV}As soon as I stepped into the sitting room, I froze. Someone was sitting on the couch. My heart dropped.Sharone.For several seconds, I simply stared at her, unable to understand what I was seeing. Of all the people I expected to find in my house, she was the last person I wanted to see. She looked up and noticed me standing there. “Mira,” she greeted softly. I didn’t answer immediately. My eyes moved around the room before returning to her.“What are you doing in my house by this time?”Sharone shifted uncomfortably on the couch. “I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have come here without warning, but I had no choice.”“No choice?”She nodded. “David is cruel.”My eyebrows pulled together. “What?”“I’ve been calling him, but he refuses to pick up my calls.” I stared at her in disbelief. “So you came to my house?”“Yes.”I folded my arms across my chest. “Then where is David?”Sharone looked toward the hallway. “He welcomed me in.”My eyes widened. “He did?”“Yes. He opened
Mira’s POV}“You just found out about Sharone?” Vanessa’s words echoed in my head. I swallowed hard. “You mean… you already knew about his second baby mama?” There was a long silence on the other end.“Yes,” Vanessa finally answered.My fingers tightened around the phone. “You knew?”“Yes, Mira.”I stared at the wall in front of me, unable to believe what I was hearing. “You knew David had another woman? Another child?”“Yes.”Her answer was calm. Too calm. I felt something inside me break. “Did David tell you about her?”“No.”I blinked. “Then how did you know?”Vanessa sighed. “It’s not important.”“It is important!” I snapped. “You’re telling me you knew my husband had another baby mama, and you never thought to tell me?”“You’re his wife, Mira. If he wanted you to know, he should have told you himself.” Her words cut deeper than I expected. “So David didn’t tell you either?”“No.” I laughed bitterly. Of course. The man had somehow managed to keep everyone informed except me. I
Mira’s POV}“Another baby mama with a child.” The words escaped my lips like they belonged to someone else. I stared at David. He didn’t move. He didn’t defend himself. He didn’t even look surprised anymore.He simply stood there with Sharone’s child in his arms, his face filled with guilt. My chest tightened. I slowly turned toward Sharone. “Please…” My voice trembled. “Are you sure that child is David’s?”Sharone stared at me. Then she looked at David before answering. “Yes.”Her answer came without hesitation. My heart sank. “How can you be so sure?”She folded her arms. “Because it happened before your wedding.” I blinked. “What? “I was already with David before he married you.”I looked at David. His eyes dropped. Something inside me went cold. “So you knew he was getting married?”Sharone nodded. “Yes.”“And you still got pregnant for him?”Her expression changed immediately. “Don’t blame me.”I frowned. “What?”“You shouldn’t be blaming me, Mira. Blame your husband.” She point
{Mira’s POV}The room went silent. Dead silent. I stared at David as the voicemail ended. “You promised you would use your wife’s family money to save him. “The words echoed through my head again and again. David looked frozen. Caught. Exposed.For the first time since I met him, he had no explanat
“Please let me explain everything. David’s voice sounded far away now. Like I was underwater. Like my entire body had stopped functioning properly after hearing too many terrible truths at once.I remained on the bathroom floor trembling violently while tears and humiliation burned through my chest
MIRA’S POV)The entire ride to the hotel was silent.Painfully silent.The luxurious city of Dubai flashed outside the tinted windows towering skyscrapers, glowing billboards, expensive cars but I saw none of it. All I could see was her face.That woman. And the little boy. My chest tightened painful
[ MIRA’S POV ]"Will you calm down, Mira? Today is our wedding day, and we shouldn’t be standing here arguing about something completely irrelevant.""Irrelevant?" I gasped, my voice shaking as I stared at him in disbelief. "Did you just call this irrelevant, David? That little boy called you daddy
