Silas’s pov

I slowly woke up to the sound of beeping by my side as a sharp headache had me wincing to the side. I turned to see the white door as I looked up to see the white walls and the white ceiling. I wasn’t at home. I was in a hospital.

A small sigh escaped my lips which had me crashing back down.

What was the last thing that had happened?

That was when it started rushing back to me. I was leaving the company when someone had shot me.

What a terrible joke.

Even with all my security, I was still at risk.

I tried sitting up to wince at the pain before noticing someone sitting at the edge of the room by the window.

It was Julian.

He closed the book he was reading on his lap and smiled.

“I see you’re awake.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. How was he out of jail? The last time I had seen him, he was beaten and he was bleeding. But now he looked okay except for the bandages that were all over his body.

“You… need help yourself,” I muttered as he shrugged.

“That’s why I’m in the same hosp

  • His Second Husband    Chapter 127

    Jules’ povAs much as I enjoyed the kiss that I was having from him, my mind kept on roaming around what my mother had said. She was not wrong. She was trying to make sure I didn’t get into trouble with the way things were going with all my past relationships.Maybe I would try to figure stuff out by that period, but either way, I would see where this would lead us to.The kiss suddenly made me wince as I slowly pulled away from him as I could tell that I wasn’t feeling the kiss as well as I thought I would be feeling it. I found his face squeezed as he was not happy at how I had pulled away from him.“What is it?” he asked. “Something wrong?”All I could do was shake my head. “No, everything is fine.” That’s all I could say.But then he shook his head. “No, something is wrong. Just tell me. Let me know how I’m going to fix it for you.”But I smiled. “It’s all fine. Don’t bother about me or worry about anything. I’m just tired.”“Let’s go have a bath and then we can sleep together, w

    Jules’ povWith the way I had spoken to her, she was visibly hurt. She opened her mouth to talk back but then closed it. She wasn’t in the mood to argue with me.I felt hurt that I was fighting my mother over someone who didn’t care for me. Carlos was still a stranger.Today wasn’t supposed to go like this. I was supposed to have a wonderful day today. Not fight with my mother.I sighed and looked at my watch. “We can have this conversation later. I have to get going.”But she shook her head. “You should go. I’ll make my appointment to go to the hospital.”I frowned. “You pushed it to Saturday. We were supposed to go together.”She nodded. “And now, I want to go alone.”“Mom,” I started to say. But then she shook her head and held her hands up.“No, it’s fine. I can take care of myself and things over here. You should go on your date. I’m sure he’s waiting for you.”“You don’t have to do this to me you know. I’m sorry if I hurt you. I didn’t mean it.”She sighed. “You have to know th

    Carlos’s povI watched the show before mindlessly while wondering what was taking him so long to join me.The least he could do was join me after a couple of seconds.Tapping my feet endlessly on the ground wasn’t going to help. Besides, I was tired of the thumps I was hearing like I was thumper the rabbit.I heard someone coming down from the grand stairs as I pulled my eyes away from the nat geo wild on the television and turned to see his mother coming down the stairs.In her floral white dress, she looked beautiful. She had always been a darling with the way she was dressed. I couldn’t blame her anyway. She was seeing money now and she needed to eat it.Her face frowned when she saw me and I knew a sermon was underway. It was almost like she didn’t like me. Who could blame her? With what I had done to her son in the past, it was a miracle she had not tossed me out like a homeless person by now.“Good morning,” her face lit up almost comically as I smiled while watching her sit on

    Julian’s pov The next day, I laid in bed, wondering what to do next. I was still thinking about the next day and how it had gone. This was beautiful. The fact that I had gone through that date yesterday and not thought of blowing my brains out was a lot to handle. I expected it to be bad, but it turned out great.My door opened with my mother coming in as I frowned at her.“What do you want mum?” I sighed in frustration. “I just woke up and if you're here to start bothering me about so many things, please don't start. I just want to lay here in peace and not think of the past, present, or the future.She gave me a naughty smile, piquing my curiosity on what she wanted to say.“What is it?”“There is a man waiting outside for you. I told him to wait in the back while I call you.”I rushed to my feet and headed for the window to see no one waiting as I heard a small laughter in the back.I turned to see my mum walking to a couch by the window to sit as she studied me like some lab exp

    Julian’s povI looked around the dimly lit garden, quietly thinking of my answer. The scent of wet clouds came to my nose as I looked up to see it would soon rain. But I felt comfortable. I didn’t feel like leaving yet. “It was okay,” was all I could blurt out,He stopped in his steps as I turned to look at his shocked face.“That’s all you can say?”I shrugged. “What do you want me to say?”“I don’t know?” He said; coming to stand before me. “I expected more.”I looked at his lips which he licked and his eyes before looking down at his lips again. The atmosphere was just right. The things I felt inside were just what I felt the first time Silas and I had been in love.But this… this felt kind of different. I wanted so badly to make the most of today and to show him that I accepted to be his partner. But my heart kept tugging at me. I had been hurt one too many times. Getting into this situation again would mess me up. “You’re still reserved. I can tell,” he said, slowly placing a h

    Julian’s povShe had an awkward smile on her face as she came close to the table to drop the box before walking out.“What is all this?” I asked as Carlos sighed while dropping down into a chair across my desk.“I’m trying to make a good impression. Is it working?”I didn’t even know what to say. Him being here with all of this was… a bit surprising to say the least.“How was your day? I want to know everything.”I cut the call and dropped my phone on the table. “What are you really doing here man?”“I’m here to see you, babe.”“No, don’t call me ‘babe.’ Just call me Jules or Julian. In fact, I don’t even know which one to answer anymore.”“That’s where ‘babe’ comes in, we’re in a relationship now. Let me just call you that.”“Nevermind that, just call me Jules. End it there. Babe is a bit too intimate.”He gave me a naughty smile. “Yesterday was quite intimate between the both of us.”“Okay. First off, no more sex jokes. And number two, do not talk about what happened yesterday. It
