Voir plusNatasha smiled within herself, as she kept gazing at the pregnancy test papers, her joy knew no bounds as she leaped in excitement. Her face was squished into a hearty smile, as she climbed the stairs of the mansion, her mind trailing away.
She squeezed the papers in her louis vuitton bag, she had just planned to tell her husband that she was two weeks pregnant!!
She had been married to Alec for the past two months, she smiled to herself as she remembered how they were high school sweethearts, how she pursued him and finally made him hers, she rubbed her cheeks in contentment, her tall legs trampling down the steps.
Oh! she couldn't wait to break the happy news to her husband, she was damn happy, her marriage to Alec had been successful for the past two months but there was only one problem.
Her Mother-in-law and sister-in-law didn't quite like her, they called numerous names and accused her of being a gold digger, Alec was a successful CEO but she was just an average girl from a low class family.
But still, her love for him blossomed everyday.
She smiled as she turned the doorknob of the house, the huge smile on her face remained there when she saw her husband, Alec, sitting comfortably on the armchair, swiping through his phone.
Alec had a straight face as he did so and she smiled, that was what she loved about him, his captivating poker face, that was what drew and attracted her, though he was a cold and stoic CEO with no emotions or feelings, but she loved that, she loved him just the way he was, even though he was always cold to her, she still loved him.
He gazed up at her, his gray sliver-like eyes twinkling dangerously under the light, that was one thing about him, his eyes, it was alluring, dangerous, dark and even if she tried running away, those eyes pulled her back. It reminded her of her love for him, and his dark brown chestnut hair that was scattered amid his face.
"Dear, I am home and I have some good news," She dropped the bag on the chair and moved closer to embrace him, but she was stopped halfway, his firm hands pushing her aside gently.
"Honey, what's wrong?" She fluttered her eyelashes, why was he like that? Normally, he usually allowed her to hug him, but he never retreated nor had he ever returned her love.
"Let's get divorced." His heavy gaze lingered around her body.
Her eyes bulged in horror, her whole body shaking aggressively.
"What?!" Shock, confusion and more flashed through her immediately, her throat hooked, did she hear it right? divorce? Her husband, Alec wanted to divorce her?
"Yes, these are the divorce papers, hurry up and sign them," His hands reached for the other side of the tiny chest, before he pulled it out, and then he brought some fresh bundles of paper written in a tiny size, but the capital bold letters which read;
'Divorce Agreement.' Written in block letters, the letters shining red.
Her hands trembled slightly as she stared at the divorce papers in her hand, what in the heck was this? divorce papers? it seemed like her whole world was crumbling down in front of her. She felt dizzy as she managed to grasp the nearby object to support her stance.
"Why are you doing this to me, Alec?" Hot tears stung her lids as she stared at him demanding an answer from him, her blue eyes stared at his dark gray ones.
"Haylee is pregnant with my child," His aura was chilly, his voice rang in her ear countless times.
Haylee!
All these years, she had spent it loving this man, doing everything for him, he never liked her back, he never told her he loved her. All these while, she had been foolish enough.
When they were in high school, Haylee was from a high class family, and she also loved Alec so much that she doted on him. So that was why! That was why she was maltreated by his family.
The tears streamed down her face but he didn't seem to care, not for once even glance up to look at her.
She held her forehead in order not to pass out, she stared at her flat tummy, how could she be pregnant with his child? This man was cruel! He was a monster!!
"So all those years in college, you two had something going on?" She asked, her voice trembling in anger, quivering a bit.
"She's more deemed to provide the next heir of the Harts." It finally dawned on her. She wasn't fit. She could never provide the heir. She was never fit.
Instantly, all the love she had for him turned into hate, all the love she had, turned to immense anger.
She flipped the papers away in anger, "I hope you have a nice married life," She stumbled towards the door and pushed it open, what she thought she could do in her whole life, with her back facing him.
She ran away.
Far away from him.
And that was just the beginning of her life.
******
Natasha swirled up from the bed all of a sudden, layers of sweat lingering around her forehead.
She tried to calm herself down, by taking some deep breaths, it was just one of the nightmares again, damn.
It's been five years now since she got divorced from him, she pretended as if she was dead, she faked that she had a hit and run. She changed her lifestyle. She flew out of the country, changed her name to Cindy, and began a new life with her kids. For her. It had all been going well.
Her eyes trailed over to her children who slept soundly on the bed, their hair sprawled around their face, damp sweat furrowing around their brows, the gentle heaving of their chest made her heart calm down a bit.
They were her world now, and she could never trade them for anything in her life, after she got divorced with that scumbag, she wanted to get rid of them, but just by thinking of their innocent faces, she decided to keep them and that was what led to the existence of her kids, Niccy and Nikky. They were her life. The only reason she was still living.
Though she hated that they were his children, she still loved them so much.
She slumped back to the bed, as she covered herself with the pillow. Maybe, she could fall asleep and forget about him.
She closed her eyelids peacefully, but his face popped up again, she managed a shrill sound, as she hurriedly stood up from the bed. Why was it just so hard forgetting about him?
Even if she tried to, the memories, his face kept appearing in her head and the only thing she felt for him was just pure hatred.
Finding it hard to fall asleep, she gently got up from the bed in order not to wake them up, she put on her flip flops and gently tiptoed over to the kitchen.
She opened the fridge and poured herself a glass of fresh milk, she held the glass in her hand and chugged it down her system in a go, letting the liquid substance flush through her throat.
She returned the glass back to the fridge and walked back to the bedroom.
She adjusted the bedsheet and climbed up the bed. She covered her kids well with the blanket.
A sigh escaped her lips, as she just stared at the ceiling, and at last, what seemed like hours but only minutes, she fell asleep.

One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from
Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before
Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She
The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with
The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on
