Carrying my father in-laws child Chapter Sixteen
Erick's POVThe house didn't feel like home anymore, It was strange.I'd spent years believing this place was mine.Now, every room reminded me of someone who was no longer there.I loosened my tie as I stepped into the bedroom, the silence followed me inside. No soft music drifting from the dressing room, no books scattered across the bedside table, no lavender candle burning by the window.Everything looked exactly the way it should.Yet something was missing.Someone was missing.I rubbed the back of my neck and walked toward the wardrobe.Mason had called earlier to remind me about tomorrow's meeting in Australia. My passport was somewhere inside.I pulled open the wardrobe doors, the left side was almost empty, only a few of my suits remained neatly arranged.The right side...I froze.That had been Ophelia's side.The hangers were still there.A silk scarf hung forgotten near the back, gently swaying as the wardrobe door settled open.I reached for it without thinking.The fami

Ophelia's POVThe sound of my phone ringing pulled me from a restless sleep. I reached for it without opening my eyes."Nyla?""No," a calm female voice replied. "Good morning, Mrs. Willow. My name is Claire. I'm calling from Harrison & Cole Attorneys."I sat up immediately."We're handling the divorce papers you requested."The word divorce still felt strange. Heavy and like it belonged to someone else's life."I wanted to let you know the documents are almost ready," Claire continued. "Once you review and sign them, we'll arrange for them to be served."My fingers tightened around the phone."I understand.""There are a few financial details we'd like to discuss in person.""I'll come by this afternoon.""Perfect. We'll be expecting you."The call ended and for several seconds, I remained still, staring at the blank screen. Four years.Four years of marriage would soon be reduced to a stack of legal documents.I drew in a slow breath before resting a hand over my stomach."You and

Erick's POVSleep had become a stranger.I lay awake staring at the ceiling, listening to the steady ticking of the clock on the wall.Every time I closed my eyes, the same images came back.Ophelia climbing into Diego's car.The hospital envelope in her hands.The anonymous message.You're asking the wrong questions.I turned onto my side and glanced at the empty space beside me.Reina had fallen asleep hours ago.Or at least she wanted me to believe she had.Lately, it felt as though we were both pretending.Pretending everything was normal.Pretending there wasn't a wall growing between us.Pretending trust hadn't quietly packed its bags and left.Carefully, I climbed out of bed and walked downstairs.The house was silent.I poured myself a glass of water before stopping in front of the living room window.Rain had washed over the city earlier, leaving the gardens glistening beneath the moonlight.Once upon a time, Ophelia loved standing here whenever it rained.She would curl up o

Ophelia's POVI hadn't realized how hungry I was until the food arrived.The aroma of freshly baked bread and warm vegetable soup filled the table, making my stomach growl softly.Diego pretended not to notice.Instead, he poured a glass of water and slid it toward me."You should eat while it's hot."I nodded."Thank you."For the first few minutes, neither of us spoke.The silence wasn't uncomfortable.It felt... peaceful.A feeling I hadn't experienced in a long time.After tasting the soup, I realized how empty my stomach had been.I finished the bowl before reaching for the grilled salmon.Diego smiled to himself."What?""I was beginning to think I'd have to convince you to eat.""I didn't realize I was that hungry.""I don't think you've realized a lot of things these past few days."His words weren't meant to criticize.They simply sounded... honest.I lowered my fork."You're probably right."He took a sip of his coffee before asking, "How are you feeling?"I knew he wasn't t

Erick's POVThe photographs refused to leave my mind.I'd already looked at them more times than I cared to admit, yet my thumb found its way back to the screen.The first showed Diego holding open the passenger door of his Rolls-Royce.The second captured him getting into the driver's seat while Ophelia sat inside.Nothing about them suggested an affair.If anything, they looked... ordinary.Then why did they bother me so much?I zoomed in again.Ophelia held a hospital envelope close to her chest, almost as though she didn't want anyone else to touch it.My eyes drifted to the anonymous message beneath the photographs.You might want to ask why your ex-wife was leaving the maternity wing with Diego Willow.I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes.The maternity wing.The words echoed inside my head.A soft knock broke the silence."Come in."Reina stepped into the study carrying two mugs of coffee.She placed one on my desk before settling into the chair across from me."I thoug

Erick's POV The house had never felt this quiet. I stood in the nursery Reina had insisted on decorating, staring at the tiny white crib against the wall. Just yesterday, I had imagined carrying my child through this room. Today... I couldn't even bring myself to step inside. The fertility report was still folded in my jacket pocket. I didn't need to read it again. I knew every word by heart. Permanent male infertility. The diagnosis hadn't changed. Which meant only one thing. The baby Reina was carrying wasn't mine. The bedroom door creaked open behind me. "Erick?" Reina's voice was gentle. "I've been looking everywhere for you." I didn't turn around. "What do you need?" "I wanted us to have breakfast together." "I'm not hungry." "You've said that all day." She walked into the room and rested a hand on my arm. "Talk to me." I slowly looked at her. "When were you going to tell me?" A flicker of confusion crossed her face. "Tell you
