Masuk4 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 099Still WaterFreya’s POVI didn’t tell Bibi where we were going.I just buckled her into the back seat, kissed her cheek, and drove like my hands weren’t shaking on the wheel.Eliza’s place was quiet. Secure. Too expensive for coincidence.Bibi jumped out happily, already distracted by Lucian’s dog and Eliza’s soft voice calling her inside. She didn’t cling. She didn’t look back.That hurt more than if she had.I crouched in front of her, brushing her hair back. “You’ll stay here tonight, okay? Just a little sleepover.”“With Auntie Eliza?” she grinned.“Yes.”She nodded, then paused. “Mommy?”“Yes, baby.”“You’re gonna be brave now, right?”My throat closed.“I already am,” I said.She hugged me once, quick, trusting then ran inside. I waited until the door closed before I cried.Just once. Then I wiped my face, straightened my back, and drove home.The house smelled the same but I felt different, distant like walking in was a terrible decision. Kaiden was sitting on the
CHAPTER 098He’s Your FatherFreya’s POVBibi was sitting on the floor with her crayons when I closed the door behind us, like I was afraid even the walls might overhear.She was drawing a house. A crooked one. Too many windows. A sun that leaned to one side like it was tired of shining.I sat beside her slowly, folding my legs the way she liked, close enough that our knees touched.“Bibi,” I said gently.She hummed, still coloring. “Mm?”“There’s something I want to talk to you about.”She paused, then nodded. “Okay.”I took a breath.Not the kind you take before a speech.The kind you take before stepping into cold water.“You know how families can look different?” I began. “Some kids live with one parent. Some with two. Some with grandparents. Some with people who choose them.”She glanced at me, curious. “Like Reene's parents? She has two moms.”“Yes.” I smiled softly. “Exactly like that.”She went back to her drawing. That helped.“And you know how sometimes,” I continued careful
CHAPTER 098Innocence Alan’s POVI didn’t expect her to look at me like that.Not with fear, I could handle fear. Not even anger , anger can be reasoned with.But disappointment?That was something else entirely.She sat on the small wooden bench outside the counselor’s office, her legs swinging slowly, not touching the floor. A pink jacket folded neatly beside her. Her hair was braided differently than I remembered, tighter. Like someone had been trying to make her behave.She didn’t look up when I stopped in front of her.“Bibi,” I said gently. Nothing.Not even a flinch.Freya stood behind me, silent. I could feel her holding her breath like if she exhaled too hard, this would all shatter.I crouched down anyway, lowering myself to Bibi’s height. “It’s me,” I added softly. “Uncle Alan.”That did it. Her shoulders stiffened.She turned her head slowly, eyes sharp and shiny, nothing like a child who knew more than she should.I fought in the urge, to hug her. To live those moments I
CHAPTER 096If Sacrifices had names.Freya’s POVI didn’t let go of him immediately. If I did, the world might rush back in too fast, the cafe ding, the danger, Kaiden’s face still clinging to my spine. I stayed where I was, my face buried in Alan’s shoulder, breathing him in like proof that I hadn’t imagined him. He was Alive, Warm and Real enough as I needed him.His arms tightened slightly, protective without trapping me. He didn’t ask questions. He never did when I was breaking.“I thought you hated me,” I whispered, my voice muffled against his chest. He exhaled slowly. “I thought you were alive. That was enough.”That nearly broke me.I pulled back just enough to look at him. He looked thinner. Pale. Like someone who’d learned how to survive without rest. There was still a faint scar near his collarbone, the one from Russia. The one I never asked about since he came back because I was too busy running.Eliza stood quietly now, giving us space, watching like a woman who had alr
