4 years loving him and getting him to do the same, but all it took her was a few minutes to ruin everything and get him back. His ex wife, my husband's ex wife, Bianca. The devil who left him when she became popular with his fame, the same woman who left him crashing out in my arms. She came back with a child and claimed it was his, he was eager to take her back. I was confirmed barren and all it took was a few hours before I smelt the fishy odour_ the divorce.
Lihat lebih banyakMy pupils dilated as I glared at my husband's ex wife sitting gracefully on the couch in my living room. My blood boiled in rage but I couldn't do anything about it and just watched her in silence.
Perhaps it never occurred to me that my husband's ex wife would come back 3 years later with a toddler and tell him he's a father. I don't even have the chance to be mad at him, she's giving him a child I couldn't give him for three years. He was surprised and angry but in a minute, he was holding the toddler in his arms like he had been expecting it all along without even considering my feelings. At that moment, I felt hurt but the fact that my husband wasn't even looking at me or explaining things properly. made me irritated. "What's going on? Are you just going to stand there or are you going to tell me what's going to happen? You can't just expect me to take her in do you!" I yelled but Kai's expression was not satisfying. "I'm so so sorry Freya, I can leave if you want me to but I have no where to go and it's raining. Please help me!" Bianca pleaded and went on her knees. But for all I care, I'm not in for sympathy with My husband's ex who is Cunning and this might just be one of her tricks to take my husband from me. "No one is going anywhere," Kai said and I bit my lips and glared at the toddler that clutched onto his shirt tightly. My heart ached that Kai was being too unserious about the whole thing. "We need to talk Kai," I said and walked into our bedroom. I sat on our bed and i forced back the tears that threatened to fall, what would happen after this?. In the end, my husband's family would be happy to have her replace me since they never liked me to start with. I would be an object of mockery for the whole city. Kai came into the room some minutes later and locked the door from the inside. I had held in for too long and wanted to pour out my heart but I'm not even sure if I can do that now that the one who really had his heart had returned with the thing he wanted the most. "What are you going to do now?" I asked him and he rested his back on the wall and stared at me with a gaze I couldn't interprete. "I don't know Freya, but we can't chase her out at this time of the night when it's raining and with my child." Kai said and the word "MY CHILD" played repeatedly in my mind and I thought I could loose my mind. "How could you make such a mistake? Have you forgotten who Bianca is? This might be just a way to get you back, what if the child is not yours? What if what if the child is another man's child?" I bombarded him with questions and he just walked closer to me and held my hand. The tears I forced in had started to roll down my cheeks uncontrollably. "What about me? Do you know how hurt I was when you held that child and took her in without consulting me? did you even consider how I felt?" I said. His face made me start thinking if he even loved me. It was as if he didn't care. "It's going to go fine Freya, about Bianca. We will have a DNA test tommorow and if the child is mine, she will stay." Kai's words couldn't be anymore nicer and I pulled back immediately. "What if the results comes out negative?" I asked and Kai sighed. "Then I'll send her out immediately, but for now. We still have to keep her in, we can't let anything happen to her or the baby." That night was the worst for me, I found myself tossing and turning on the bed without a solution to my problems. I felt sad and somewhat terrified that I would lose Kai. Even though we had been married for 3 years, I still couldn't get 20 percent of what Kai felt for Bianca. They were lovebirds and people never thought they would get to a point of separation. She used to be a model and he was a successful businessman and he still is. Bianca had a huge success bomb with Kai's fame and gradually started to pull away from him, subjecting to popular celebrities. She started going out with Kai's best friend and when Kai found out, he was infuriated. He gave a chance to explain but it felt like she had been anticipating a divorce for a while. She abandoned him and threw the papers in his face like they weren't lovebirds in the past. At that time, I was there to support him. Both mentally, emotionally and physically. But in the process, we found ourselves entangled in this web where it felt like I walked into the relationship on my own. And even in the time I needed him to support me the most, he always let me down. Even though he acted tough and all, I could still read his eyes. The way he looked at Bianca and her child, but to me. It felt like I was an obstacle he had to sort out. I felt a heavy arm on my waist and I adjusted my hips to sync with his. I turned to face him and cuddled up in his arms. His breath was hot against my face and I tried not to think of Bianca and clear my mind. Even though Kai never showed me his side of affection and love, I was sure he liked my curves and that was probably why he was attracted to me when I worked as his secretary. The only thing he wanted was my body, if I were to loose my shape. I would lose Kai, so I tried my best to stay fit and went to the gym on weekends. But all the efforts I made to build a stable relationship seemed to crash the moment that evil woman called Bianca stepped into this house. I silently prayed the DNA test results will come out negative, even more terrified it might come out positive.CHAPTER 081POV FREYATHE GUILT WE CREATE The party was bigger than I thought.Gold and white ribbons hung from the ceiling, the chandeliers glowed brighter than usual, and every table was covered in fresh roses. Grandma sat at the far end, laughing with a nurse beside her, and my heart softened just seeing how happy she looked.Bibi’s hand slipped out of mine the moment we walked in. She spun in a slow circle, her pink dress brushing her knees, eyes darting everywhere like she was lost in a dream.“Mom, it’s so shiny here,” she whispered.“I know, baby. Grandma deserves it,” I smiled, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.We greeted a few relatives, and I tried to settle into the rhythm of things, but the atmosphere was loud, overwhelming, almost too grand for what it should’ve been. It felt like people came here to show off, not to celebrate.And maybe that’s why I didn’t notice when Bibi disappeared.I turned, and she was gone.My heart jumped to my throat. I scanned the ta
CHAPTER 080POV FREYAI left home earlier than the planned time and I kept convincing myself that I wasn't nervous, that a dead man couldn't possibly just show up.But I was scared, the fact that it might be true scared me.I sat at the corner of the cafe, my hands wrapped too tightly around my bag. The smell of coffee and cinnamon made my stomach twist. Every time the door opened, my heart jumped, then sank again.I told myself it wouldn’t be him. It couldn’t be. People don’t just come back from the dead.I glanced at my phone again.Blueridge Cafe. 5 PM. I’ll explain everything.Whoever sent that had to be a scammer. Maybe someone who knew my past, someone cruel enough to use his name.But then the door opened again.And there he was.A dead man.He stood by the entrance, scanning the room, his hand fisting once, punching his palm just like he always did when he was nervous. The gesture made my throat tighten painfully.My purse slipped from my hand and hit the floor. The sound made
Chapter 079POV FREYAGRANDMA'S treatment home was quieter than I remembered. The kind of quiet that comes with old piano music echoing faintly down the hallway and the gentle hum of nurses talking in low voices. The scent of chamomile tea and disinfectant mixed strangely in the air.She was by the window again, her silver hair pinned up neatly, her floral blanket tucked around her knees. She was staring outside, humming something I almost recognized, an old lullaby she used to sing to me when I was small.“Grandma,” I said softly.She turned slowly, her eyes lighting up when she saw me. “Freya, darling.” Her voice trembled but still held that familiar warmth that always made me feel seven years old again. “You came.”I smiled and kissed her forehead. “Of course I did. You think I’d forget you?”She chuckled faintly. “Oh, people forget a lot of things at my age.”"Well I'm not your age." She smiled.I pulled up a chair beside her and sat down. “How are you feeling today?”“Oh, the nur
Chapter 078POV FREYA When I got home, the house was quieter than usual. The kind of quiet that doesn’t comfort, it presses down, sits heavy on your skin.Bibi was sitting cross legged on her bed, coloring something I couldn’t quite make out until I leaned closer. It was a drawing of three people holding hands. One of them was smaller, with orange hair like hers. The two taller ones looked like me and Kaiden.That night had been quieter than usual. The rain had started sometime after dinner, light at first, then steady, tapping against the windows like it was trying to remind us of something we’d forgotten.She then curled beside me in bed, her hair still damp from her bath, smelling faintly of vanilla shampoo. She was tracing shapes on my arm with her finger, little hearts, circles, stars. It was our usual bedtime game.“Mommy?” she said after a while, her voice small, almost hesitant.“Yes, baby?”She kept tracing. “Can I ask you something?”“Of course you can.”She stopped, looke
CHAPTER 077POV (FREYA)By the next morning, I hadn’t slept. Not really. I just laid there, staring at the ceiling, replaying that voice over and over until I started doubting what I’d heard at all.Alan’s voice.It couldn’t be.I showered twice. Drank coffee I didn’t taste. Drove through three red lights before realizing I was even driving. By the time I parked in front of Dr. 's’s clinic, my hands were trembling so badly I had to sit still for a moment just to catch my breath. She looked surprised when I walked in, her eyes flicking from the folder in her hand to my face.“Freya?” she said, pushing her glasses up. “You didn’t book an appointment.” "Is Bibi okay?" She asked again and I sighed."You should've set an appointment then I would have cancelled the -" “I know,” I said quietly. “im sorry I just… needed to talk.”Something in my tone must have told her enough because she gestured toward her office immediately. “Come in. Sit.”The room was the same as always. The warm light
CHAPTER 075POV FREYAALAN!It was Dinner time but Dinner felt too quiet.The kind of quiet that wasn’t peaceful but strange like everyone was waiting for someone else to make the first wrong move.The clink of cutlery filled the space between conversations. Damien sat at the head of the table, Kaiden to his right, me to his left, and Alexa directly across from me, her eyes moving between her husband and me like a pendulum.The girls were at a smaller table beside us, their laughter light, untouched by the grown up mess in the air.Damien smiled, pouring wine into my glass again though I’d barely touched the first one. “Freya, try the cabernet. It’s from the year we...” he caught himself, glanced at Kaiden, then smiled faintly. “from a while back.”“I’m fine,” I said quietly, pushing my glass away.“Oh come on, just a sip,” he insisted, voice smooth and coaxing. “It’s rude to refuse the host.”Kaiden’s jaw tightened. “She said no, Damien.”Damien gave a small, mocking chuckle. “acting
