Nathan hurried to my side because of what happened.

He put the tray of food aside on the floor, before he held my hands and asked me, “Are you okay? I thought that you were still in bed”.

His eyes were filled with worry.

Seeing the worried look in his eyes, it only made me feel guilty and hated myself.

If only he had not listened or obeyed his father's wishes and gotten married to that stupid Adira, then I wouldn't have done that. I would not have made the mistake that could potentially ruin my entire life and career if revealed.

Rather, I would have been living the rich life I deserved.

It was all their fault.

Adira and Mr Rodriguez were the ones who ruined my life.

“I am okay, Natty”. I said to him, and when he sighed in relief, my hand made it to his face and caressed his cheek.

“I am sorry for making you worry about me. It's just that, I can't believe that I am finally going to become your wife and a mom”. I explained to Nathan, before I glanced at my cell phone that was

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 52) There for him.

    “Cousin Adira, is my mother ever going to be okay? Is she ever going to wake up?”. Joseph asked me, and I felt something cold drenching my clothes. They were Joseph's tears. Patting his head, I replied to him confidently, “Of course, Joseph. Your mother is going to be alright. She is going to wake up soon. Don't be scared”. But I thought to myself, ‘I hope so'. “Don't worry, Adira. I'm in charge of your aunt's treatment. I will try the best I can to make her wake up again. I promise”. Franklin assured me, and I nodded at him. Seriously, what else could I have done if not nodding at him? I really do hope that he can make Aunt Becky wake up as soon as possible. I can't imagine how sorrowful Joseph would feel if his mother did not wake up soon. Growl. Joseph's stomach growled in hunger, before mine did the same thing, making me remember that we didn't get the chance to eat our food, because of what had happened to Aunt Becky. But I didn't have the appetite to eat. I fear that I

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 51) A stroke.

    Adira's pov,We had arrived at the hospital and were inside the hospital. But we remained outside a particular ward where Aunt Becky was receiving treatment.Joseph and Kai were sitting in the same seat, while I was pacing back and forth in the corridor, as I couldn't relax. During the traffic, when I thought that all hope was lost, he showed up. Franklin. He was my senior when I was in college. Though we were from different departments. He studied medicine, while I studied jewelry design. I studied jewelry design, not because I was a novice, but because I wanted to gain a certificate and become a legit jeweler in the future. Back to where it started. Franklin. Earlier, when we were stuck with Aunt Becky in the traffic, Franklin came to our refuge and intervened. I was stunned when I saw him, but I didn't think about why he was there. All I said to him was to help my Aunt Becky, since I knew that he was a doctor. At that moment, I hurried to Kai's car and opened the back seat

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 50) A Senior.

    Adira's pov, While driving, I made sure to stare at my side view mirror, in order to make sure that Kai’s car was behind me. It was evening. The night lights had been switched on, and there seemed to be more cars driving on the road compared to when it was afternoon. That was because most people were returning to their homes from their various workplaces. So that was understandable. But they should have waited until after we had arrived at the hospital. What a crazy thing to think about. If I were in their shoes, I would want to return home too after work. But if they were in my shoes, I am quite sure that they would probably have the same thoughts as mine, since many cars on the road automatically means a little bit of hold up. Everything was going pretty well, and we had almost arrived at the hospital we were heading to, when…. Traffic happened. There was sudden traffic on the road, and I tightened my fingers around my steering wheel and almost swore. I hurried out of my car,

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 49) Allow him inside/ Please, God.

    Joseph's pov, “Aunt Becky!!”. I flinched and turned to the direction of the stairs the instant I heard cousin Adira's scream. I was very shocked and could not move any of my muscles for the next few seconds. ‘Why did cousin Adira scream my mother's name like that?’. I wondered, before my body finally moved, and I slowly stood up from the chair, with my heart pounding like the sound of drumsticks drumming on thick drums. “Wake up, Aunt Becky!!!”. Hearing cousin Adira's panicked scream again, realization hit me like a lightning strike, and I ran upstairs with only a single thought in my mind. My mother!I didn't care about my starving stomach anymore, and had even lost my appetite. I arrived upstairs and went directly to my mother's bedroom, where I saw cousin Adira. She was shaking and trying to wake up my mother, who was unconscious on the floor, with a small white container and white pills lying scattered next to her, on the floor. I ran to cousin Adira's side and knelt dow

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 48) Tragedy strikes.

    I rushed after Joseph, and when I got to his side at the door, it happened that it was exactly the time he shut the door.I didn't even get to see the figure's face, who stood outside, in front of the door. “Who is that, Joseph?”. I asked him. “Cousin Adira, it's absolutely nobody. That was only a big bug. But nothing to worry about. I have chased it away for you”. “Chase it away for me?”. I muttered out of confusion. As I pondered what Joseph meant by this statement, he held my hand and tried to make me leave the door side with him. 'Wait. Did he just say that he chased away a very big bug for me? Could it be that the very big bug he was referring to was Michael? Did Michael possibly return again?!’. I wondered, but noticed that my thoughts and my imaginations were off track. They were not on point because, did Joseph know who Michael was?As far as I know, Michael wasn't present during my wedding ceremony with Nathan. If he had been there, I would have said that somehow, Aunt B

  • Heart of a Betrayed Wife   Chapter 47) Burritos' drama.

    Adira's pov, The aroma of the red chili stew was appetizing, and I could feel it on my tongue already, despite it still cooking on the fire. As I stirred the pot of stew, with my other hand positioned at my waist, I turned to Joseph and saw that he was walking back and forth in the kitchen. I knew what was going on with him. He was hungry, and I had heard his stomach rumbling multiple times. Though after he told me what happened at school earlier today, I knew that he was the one to blame. Not really. That was simply my speculation. According to him, his mother bought burritos for him during their school break period. But he told me that he didn't eat the burritos and gave them to his friend, as he didn't like burritos but tacos. But I knew Joseph too well and could tell when he was telling a lie, because his face always turned red whenever he was telling a lie. And I knew that he had told me a lie in one way or the other. I had seen him eat burritos before when he was younger
