Chapter 5

POV(FREYA),

My eyes flickered open and the sound of the ECG beeping made me realize I was in the hospital, I slowly turned and Kai was holding my hand.

"Kai, what's going on?" I managed to sit up and Kai gave me a sad look, I decided not to bombard him with questions so I just waited to hear it from him.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're safe. The results will be out in an hour, we'll know what the problem is then." Kai assured me, I looked outside the window and my gaze landed on a pregnant woman sitting on a wheelchair.

Life dosen't go as planned, and we can't change it either. The more we put our hope into getting what we want, the more impossible it seems.

"The doctor requests for your presence sir," a nurse informed us and I sighed heavily. "Let's go Kai..." "The doctor said only the husband can go in." The nurse said and I knew what that meant, a sign of bad news.

"It's fine, I can handle anything." I assured the nurse but Kai's expression said otherwise.

We both entered the doctor's office and it was quite surprising that the doctor was an old man.

"Mrs Freya Seattle, how many kids do you have?" The doctor asked and Kai made eye contact with me before we both looked back at the doctor.

"None doctor." I said and the man adjusted his glasses before looking back at us.

"How long have you been married?" The doctor asked and the questions were starting to get suspicious.

"3 years, we've been trying to have a child but it's not working." Kai answered the question and the man looked directly at me with a smile, I could almost swear he wanted to tell me I'm pregnant.

"It is quite unfortunate to relay this terrible news that your wife will not be able to conceive a child, not now and not in the future. In one word the tests confirm that your wife is barren." My pupils dilated and my heart thumped loudly, my head spun and my eyes flickered continuously.

I received the biggest shock of my life but I clenched my fist and tried to pretend everything was okay.

"What do you mean my wife is barren? This same hospital gave us a result just 3 months ago that everything was fine and that we should keep trying, why are you now changing the results? I think there is a mix-up somewhere." Kai had a heated argument with the doctor but I could only watch and think about what my life would be like after leaving the hospital.

We left the hospital some minutes later and we were both silent throughout the ride, I didn't say a word and just headed upstairs.

"I said it! I knew my instincts were right! That girl is barren! Thank God Bianca came at this time," "mom keep your voice down!" Kai and his mom argued in the living room and I just entered my room and shut the door.

I turned on my laptop and I already had hundreds of emails from work, it wasn't surprising since it's been 5 months since I left the office and quit working as Kai's secretary.

Kai wanted me to stop working so we could focus on having a child, but since I confirmed we can't have a child, I have to focus on work.

I started working on the jobs that had been assigned to me.

I spent the whole day working and I sent it all to Kai's email when I finished it. I got hundreds of welcome back to work messages from the employees after I posted on the company's platform.

It felt good to be back at work but the pain in my heart didn't leave, it felt like life was drained out of me. I couldn't go through all the messages and thank them but a specific message caught my attention.

"Welcome back Frey, can't wait to see you at work!" It was a message from Damien, Kai's brother. He was my childhood friend, we were very close until 5 months ago when I decided to quit everything and focus on getting a child.

I couldn't bring myself to give him a reply but I ended up giving a lame "thank you." With a heart emoticon.

He replied me immediately which was surprising and I returned the gestures. We chatted so long that I lost track of time, he made a lot of jokes and i started laughing too loud.

"Frey?" Kai said from behind and I went silent and immediately closed my laptop screen then slowly turned to him with a smile.

"I got the email." He sat on the bed and I stood up from the chair and also joined him on the bed.

"Yeah! I decided to get back to work since I can't have a child anymore." I said trying not to feel sad.

Kai looked at me like he wanted to break a bad news to me but I already had enough bad news for today.

"What's wrong, do you have something to tell me?" I asked and he held my hand and looked at me with sympathy.

"I signed the marriage papers with Bianca a while ago," I slowly pulled my hand away from his and looked down at my hands so he wouldn't see my teary face.

She became his legal wife again, and what am I? There can only be one legal wife right? Does that mean he's going to divorce me? I braced myself up for anymore shocking news.

"I'm sorry Freya, I didn't want to do it but mom forced me to. I-i that doesn't mean I love Bianca though, I won't sleep with her. You're still my wife and like I said, my mum made me do it." Kai said and I chuckled in a sarcastic way.

I was annoyed and agitated but I kept my cool. "Your mom made you do it? Love her! Sleep with her! For all I care she used to be your sweetheart, it's not too late for you to reconnect!."

"And You can as well hand me the divorce papers because your mum made you do it." I yelled at him for the first time since we got married and he had a shocked expression.

"Kaiden come here!" Mrs Seattle called from downstairs and I rolled my eyes.

"And go join your family downstairs, mummy is calling" I covered my body with the duvet and turned my back to him. I silently wished he wouldn't leave and decide to stay with me the whole night but he left almost immediately and shut the door.
