Chapter 73: Better Late Than Never
Noah’s POV
It is not easy, what I am doing.I don’t even know how I should behave with her.How do you behave when you marry your ex?I don’t even wanna call her my ‘ex’.I wanna hate her, maybe because I want a reason to keep myself distracted from the fact that I still love her and she doesn’t.She might be sorry for everything and might even care for me but I know she doesn’t like me in that way anymore.I don’t even know what I am doing. Every time I want to show her hate, like the wedding night, I ended up hugging her like she is my life.I can’t be vulnerable, not again.But I can’t help it.The coffee I was drinking, was so tasty. Although I can drink it with sugar too, I tried to show her how much I hate her-- or act as I do-- but it didn’t make me feel any better.She went upstairs, probably to take a sRelated chapters
Collateral Love Chapter 74: Outing
Noah’s POV“Where are we going anyway?” she asked as we sat down in my car and drove off.“Your mother’s house”“That is your idea of an outing?”I looked at her raising an eyebrow. “Yes”“Let’s go somewhere else,” she sighed.“But don’t you miss your mom?” I questioned.“Gosh, Noah I was married yesterday. I miss her, but you know when you’ll leave, I will stay with her. So… can we go somewhere else today?”“Meet her, Astrid,” I insisted. She doesn’t know that her mom has cancer, so I am trying to do what she would have done if she knew.“What’s wrong with you?” she looked irritated. “Let’s just go to some… movie?”Trust me Astrid, if you knew, you’d have not wanted to even eat anything.
Collateral Love Chapter 75: Make This Right
Astrid’s POVWe reached our home after the ‘pretend’ meeting with mom. I can’t even believe that he is being this cold. I mean… we loved each other once, right?I shrugged my thoughts and went inside one of the rooms and locked it from inside. I need to be calm and not think about him or anyone. I need some ‘me time’.I laid down on my bed and was about to sleep when I heard a knock on the door. Will he not even let me sleep?I got up and slowly dragged myself towards the door and opened it.He was standing and looking at me like I am a ghost.“What?” I asked him.“I am leaving tomorrow,” he said.“I know,” I replied.He sighed. “Yeah.

I opened it and ran back to the kitchen.“Why are you running?” Noah’s voice stopped me.“Well, I have to go to the hospital, in case you don’t remember” I replied, going to the kitchen and taking my stuff.“I will go with you too” he said.“Ah, well… you just came. I can manage” I denied and was going to the gate when he sighed.“What?” I asked him.“When will you return?”“Night”“It is morning” he insisted. “Please come back fast”“I will try” I smiled lightly and he nodded with a cute smile.“Bye!”“Bye” I made my

Astrid’s POVI decided to leave mom’s house to get to a lawyer and apply for divorce. I got up and went to the door. As I opened it and went outside, a voice scared me.“Astrid”I looked at my right side and Noah was standing with his head down. “Don’t do this”“Don’t do what?” I didn’t expect him to know where I was going.“You think I don’t know where you are going? Astrid please try to understand. Don’t do this. This is too much--”“Yeah, too much, right. And about the fact that you hid everything from me? Yeah, it isn’t big now, is it?”“It… it is, Astrid, but…”“I don’t know and I don’t care, Noah, not anymore. I am done trusting and caring and getting deceived all the time!”“I didn’t ‘deceive’ you, Astrid, don’t
Collateral Love Chapter 78: Husband
Astrid’s POVI was sitting in the waiting room for many hours now. The surgery was going on and all I did was pray every single second to Jesus for mercy. I must have done bad things in my life, but mom didn’t. So please God save her.After all that is all I can do right now.I kept on waiting for some nurse or the doctor to come and tell me “congratulations!”. But I guess that has to wait.I was growing restless with every passing second. I don’t know, but this different feeling in me told me something wasn’t really right. I just hope that that ‘something’ has nothing to do with mom.------Noah’s POVA Few Hours AgoI was the anonymous doctor with the name ‘James’.Yup, it’s me.I am back.God, this all is too much!
