When I rang the doorbell of that mansion, I felt a little odd doing that, it must have been because I had never needed to ring the doorbell of the house. After all, I was always the lady of this house, but today things have changed, in fact, things have changed since yesterday when I divorced my husband. The divorce had been so sudden that it took me by surprise, Jensen suddenly showed up at home demanding a divorce, and that caught me off guard. He had even packed my suitcase and everything, just waiting for me to get home so he could send me away. That had been humiliating, but I was going to stay strong like I always had. I sighed, adjusting my sweater to ward off the cold outside, and waited a little longer. I had looked in the garage and noticed that the cars were still there, indicating that Jensen was still at home, I had come there with the excuse that I needed to get something personal of mine that he had left out when he hurriedly packed my bags, anxious for me to leave his house. To tell the truth, I was still shaken by what had happened yesterday, I still hadn't recovered, and I thought I would never recover because I had been married to this man for three years and everything had ended overnight in a way so sudden. The door was opened, and to my surprise, it was not one of the house servants, but a young, slender, blonde woman with blue eyes wearing a robe and looking at me from below with an air of disdain. "Who are you?" She asked as if she didn't recognize me, and my presence there was a nuisance to her. I gasped in shock. Wasn't that Kate, Jensen's secretary? Why was she there, and on top of that, wearing just a bathrobe? I swallowed hard before responding. “Um… I’d like to talk to Jensen…” I stammered. Likewise, I would have even thought I had the wrong door if I didn't know that place as well as the back of my hand. "Oh yes. You are his ex-wife, I can recognize you from the portrait that was on his desk in the office. Let me tell you, you are much uglier in person, and I burned and shredded that portrait like we shred old disposable paper,” she said with disgust, looking at me as if I were a piece of trash. I bit my own lip, still shocked by her boldness. Should I respond to her insult? Maybe give her a good slap across the face to put her in her place, but I wasn't about to do that, my issue was with Jensen, not with her. So I wanted to force my way in so I could go talk to him, but he stopped me. “Hey, you crazy woman! Are you trying to hit me?” She tried to provoke me again. “I'm not going to get my hands dirty with bitches like you,” I told her, wanting her to back away and stop teasing me. She dramatized her shocked expression, showing how ghetto she was. “Did you just call me a bitch? Your man left you to be with me, and you call me a bitch? Well, okay, this bitch here is much hotter than you, so much so that your husband left you because of me,” She threw those words at me, wanting to offend me. “Get out of my way,” I ordered, as she was still holding the door. "Go away from here! That man is mine now!” She screamed at me. Good heavens! She had barely spent time with him, and she already thought he was hers? “Just get out of my way!” I took her arm off the door frame to give me some space to pass and enter the house. "What's going on here?" It was Jensen, appearing from the stairs with a look of confusion on his face at the sight of the little mess. His secretary, when she saw him, screamed as if she were in pain and threw herself on the floor. “Aww, she hurt me!” She claimed that I had hurt her. For God’s sake, I had barely touched her! “Kate, are you okay?” Jensen asked worriedly, going to help his mistress. “My arm hurts, honey…” she pretended in a tearful voice. I gasped at that image. It was the height of seeing her call my recently ex-husband honey, seeing them like that turned my stomach and made me sick. Jensen was looking at me relentlessly now. "What are you doing here? Didn’t we talk about everything yesterday?” His words were as harsh and hurtful as the sting of a sharp knife in my heart. During the three years we were married, I loved him so much, and I dedicated myself so much to please him and make him happy, but today I was getting this in return, this rejection... I almost cried right there, but I was going to hold back my tears and cry somewhere else, I was going to keep acting strong. “I need to talk to you in private, Jensen…” I said to him and as much as I was trying to act strong, my voice shook, demonstrating how affected and emotionally weak I was. He growled in disgust, lifting his mistress off the ground and hugging her. “Why don’t you go to the bedroom, lie down on the bed, and wait for me there, huh, baby?” He suggested it to her in a sweet and caring voice. “All right, honey. But don't be so late, okay? Send her away soon and come to me; I'll be waiting for you upstairs with a nice surprise,” she said to him and then kissed him right there in front of me. I looked away, my heart was extremely hurt. It was hurting so much, but I must have been strong enough to bear it all. “Very well, we are alone now. What do you want to tell me?" He asked, his voice returning to being hard and rough, his gaze so icy as if he had a grudge against me. “I believe the bedsheets still smell like me, but you have already brought another woman to lie in the same bed that I have shared with you for the last 3 years. How dare you?” I asked, completely disgusted by his low behavior. He didn't wait at least a week to bring another home because he and I lived all this time and shared unique and intimate things... Apparently, I was the only one who had this consideration for him. “It’s my house, Lilian. I’ll bring here whoever I want,” he said to me, still with roughness in his voice. Seeing him like that, he didn't even look like the same man I married. I just chuckled skeptically, the roof of my mouth tasting bitter. Jensen Grimes came from a powerful and rich family of influencers in the city, he worked as CEO of his family's companies and was stupidly rich. At the moment when we were married, we loved each other so much that it was even shocking today that we were in this position as if we were two enemies. And what saddened me even more was that I hadn't given him any reason to demand a divorce. He had just thrown those papers in my face and demanded that I sign the divorce agreement, claiming that I was cheating on him. “Is this really what you want, Jensen? Divorce me and spend time with other women? Why are you doing this? Don’t you realize you hurt me by doing this?” I asked, still holding back my tears. I loved this man very much. He sighed as if he was bored. “If you came here to talk about this, then you can leave because I don't want to talk to you,” he said, still looking at me hard, his handsome face, once always smiling and polite to me, today treating me as if I were his biggest enemy. "Hang on! I came here to tell you something…” I said, almost begging. “Tell me then because I’m running out of time for this.” I swallowed again. “I'm pregnant Jensen, I'm going to have your child,” I told him once and for all. He frowned. "Pregnant? Are you pregnant?" I nodded. “I just found out today, after these strong emotions yesterday I ended up feeling sick and went to the hospital. Then the doctors told me that I was expecting a child. You're going to be a father, Jensen…” At that moment I was already crying with emotion. He smiled sarcastically. “Is this your desperate way of still being married to me? I bet you don't want to lose all the perks that a marriage with me brings, do you? You are so desperate to the point of inventing a pregnancy just to stay married to me,” he said, skeptical. His words offended me more than anything. "What? I'm not making anything up, I can even prove that I'm pregnant, Jensen…” I said, still confused. “Then take it off!” He practically screamed at me. "What…?" my eyes were wide. I wasn't believing it. “Get rid of this pregnancy and forget about me! I'm fed up with you, I just want you to disappear, okay? Don’t look for me anymore, just go away!” He commanded it, completely changed. “Jensen…” I cried to him. "Go!" He pointed to the door, implacable. A loud sound of laughter was coming from above the stairs. When I looked there, I saw that it was his mistress there on the stairs, laughing at me and enjoying seeing how Jensen was kicking me out of his house. Overcome with anguish, I looked at him one last time with my heart aching with sadness, he wasn't even looking at me anymore, so I just turned around and left that house, never to return.Months had passed since the moment Lilian and Jensen had united forever, and the mansion, already full of life and joy, now seemed to be living a new chapter of great happiness. The afternoon was calm, but the atmosphere inside the house was buzzing with anticipation. Lilian, in labor, was preparing to give birth to the couple's fourth child, and emotions were running high.Jensen, visibly nervous, paced back and forth. His feet tapped the floor with a constant rhythm, a reflection of the whirlwind of thoughts that wouldn't settle. He paused briefly, looking at the door of the room where his wife was being assisted by the nurses. His mind couldn't find peace, thoughts of what might happen spread, even though he knew Lilian was in good hands."You need to calm down," said Philip, the couple's friend, who stood by Jensen's side. He knew how anxious Jensen could be, and his calm had always been a pillar of support. "She's strong. And you'll be an incredible father, no matter what happens
Lilian's POVI returned to the garden where Jensen was waiting for me, his attentive gaze fixing on me as soon as he saw me. He had a way of noticing when something wasn't right, and this time was no different. He had gone to check on the children, but now, he was there, as if he knew I needed him more than ever."Hey, love," he said softly, kneeling beside me. "Is everything okay?"I looked at him, and the answer just escaped me. "I'm so happy for her, but at the same time so sad. She was a part of all this, of us, and now... she's leaving..."Jensen looked at me with silent understanding, as if he knew exactly what I was feeling. He extended his hand, and with a serene smile, he pulled me close, wrapping me in his embrace. "I understand, Lilian. I felt it too, and I know how important she was. But life goes on, and people need to take new steps. And you... you've always been wonderful with her."I gave a faint smile, the weight of his words enveloping me in a comforting way. I knew
Lilian POVThe night was calm and pleasant, with a gentle breeze caressing my face and soft lights illuminating the garden. I was there, sitting with Jensen, enjoying the tranquil moments of the party. The laughter of children and the soft sounds of celebration still echoed through the house, but for a moment, the world seemed to shrink to just the two of us.Jensen held my hand and smiled. "It was a perfect day, wasn't it?""Yes, it really was," I replied, resting my head on his shoulder. "I feel so happy that we managed to pull all this off."We sat in silence for a few minutes, simply enjoying each other's company. But then, a familiar figure approached from the garden. It was Sadie, with that wide smile that always accompanied her."Hi, Lilian! Mr. Grimes! Congratulations, really, your wedding was wonderful," she said, smiling sincerely as she approached. "Everything was impeccable, and the kids were so happy. I've never seen them so excited.""Thank you, Sadie. I'm very glad you
Lilian POVIt was an ordinary day. The sun came through the windows of the house, illuminating the room with a golden light. Children were playing in the yard, their laughter filling the air. I was in the kitchen, tidying up some things, while Jensen seemed mysteriously busy somewhere in the house. "You're very quiet today, Jensen. What are you up to?" I asked, half joking, while washing some fruit. "Me? No big deal." He replied, appearing in the doorway with a mischievous smile. "You're terrible at keeping secrets." I laughed, drying my hands. He just shrugged. "Trust me. Just come with me." "Now?" I asked, surprised. "Now." He took my hand and led me to the conservatory. When we entered, I noticed the atmosphere was different. Flowers were scattered across the floor, forming a path to a small table where there was a velvet box. My heart started to race. "Jensen..." I started, but he interrupted me with a tender look. "Let me speak first, Lilian." He took a deep bre
Lilian POVDays after everything that happened, we were back in Richmond, at our home. Or rather, in Jensen's mansion. I knew things would never be the same, but I also knew we no longer had to carry the weight of Kate or any other threat. She was tried and sentenced to many years in prison for killing Finn and screwing Jensen and me. It was a relief, but not a cure for everything we went through.The children and I, to my surprise, were more excited than I imagined, despite all the turbulence we had experienced, we returned to the mansion, because it was what felt right. I didn't want to be away from Jensen again. He was always in my thoughts, and more than ever, I knew that our family needed to be together.When we arrived at the mansion, Jensen was there, waiting at the door, with that comforting smile. He seemed more relaxed now, maybe because we'd finally gotten through the storm. When he saw us, his face lit up, and he stepped forward, arms open to welcome the children."Welcome
Sadie POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, but to be honest, I had literally barely slept. I spent the night tossing and turning, thinking about Micah. How was he? Was he alone? Had he eaten anything? I need to see you.I looked at the clock. It was still six in the morning, but I couldn't stay in bed. With a heavy sigh, I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. I washed my face, trying to shake off the tiredness that seemed to be clinging to me, and got dressed quickly. Nothing too elaborate: jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweater. In the kitchen, I made some toast and a cup of coffee. My stomach was upset, but I knew I needed something to eat to get through the day. As I nibbled on the toast, my mind continued to wander. The image of Micah that night never left my head, his expression of pain mixed with determination. Micah had done a lot of stupid things, but he had also put himself at risk to protect us. It didn't erase his mistakes, but it was a gesture I couldn'
