Thalia's pov

I didn't know how I slept off while looking after Ianth on the hospital bed.

My red eyes opened slowly, only to find Ianth staring at me with a hard glare.

"Sweetheart, you are awake." I sauntered to my feet, hurrying to check his body.

I reached out to his hands, trying to see if the fever had reduced a little. But Ianth pulled his hands away with so much force that I would have thought he wasn't the same person sick yesterday.

"What are you doing here?" Ianth fired, "Why are you here?"

I took out a handkerchief from my purse and wiped the beads of sweat on his face but he pulled away again.

"You were hospitalized, Ianth. Am I not supposed to be here as your mommy?" I didn't understand why he was asking the questions.

Throughout the night when he had a fever, I had to use cold water on him. The fever eventually broke a few hours later and that was when I slept off.

"How many times am I going to say that you are not my mommy?" He shouted.

My feet staggered backwards. N

  • My Husband, My Son, My Betrayal    Everything is over now

    Eirik’s pov"Eirik, are you alright?" Lorion questioned.I chuckled bitterly, drinking straight from the alcohol bottle. "You are not the one whose life is ruined. My company was taken away. My marriage was destroyed. My only child is fighting for his life in the hospital. What else remained? She made sure to destroy everything."Now, I was left with nothing. Lorion now had full control of my company. Thalia was gone forever which meant I had no wife or right to the baby she gave birth to four years ago. The son I called my own may be declared dead tomorrow morning if he decided not to wake up anymore.I didn't have anything else. There was nothing else left to fight for. The only thing I had right now was my life and I wouldn't even bother if it ended at the moment. "You are not so good with alcohol." Lorion tried to caution me but he didn't even take the bottle away from my hands.I sighed, pouring the bitter liquid into my mouth. The house I built for my family was now empty and l

  • My Husband, My Son, My Betrayal    A mother's advice

    Thalia's pov I didn't care if Eirik was hurt too because there was no one who wouldn't feel hurt learning that his mother was behind everything that had happened to him.But it didn't validate the fact that he betrayed me. I couldn't forget it even if I tried to. I had tried to forget about everything for four good years but I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried.It kept ringing at the back of my mind. Ianth was not my son. Mirelle was his mother. My original baby was dead. I lost my husband to my supposed best friend — I couldn't forget all those things easily."Thalia..." Eirik called, standing in front of me.I turned away, wiping tears away from my eyes and rubbing my nose. "I told you to leave me alone.""Thalia, please. Listen to me just this once and I promise I will never trouble you again." He collapsed on his knees.I scoffed, looking at me sideways. I had seen him kneeling down so many times that it almost didn't mean anything tangible to me anymore."I just have one thin

  • My Husband, My Son, My Betrayal    My enemy

    Eirik’s povStaring at the content of the document in my hands, I didn't know what to think. Was it the fact that Thalia's college best friend, Elizabeth used the real face of my ex in high school, Mirelle.Everything was messing with my head in a bad way. I wished Thalia had shown me all of these before now. It would have been dealt with. I couldn't believe I slept with a fake, a fraud, a liar and a surgical face."What happened to the real Mirelle?" Lorion asked.I shook my head, "I don't know, Lorion. I didn't see or meet her after high school. I don't know how her face came about.""That's not the actual problem right now." Lorion said, "I've processed your release. The police should be here by now."Just after he finished speaking, the cell opened and I was freed. I was very surprised because I didn't expect it. Maybe I had accepted my fate already.I knew I didn't do it but I didn't want to bother Lorion and Thalia from wasting their time because I knew it'd be exhausting and fr

  • My Husband, My Son, My Betrayal    Old face/New face

    Thalia's pov"I'm sorry I haven't dropped by for several days. Did you miss me?" I asked, touching his hands."Look, I brought your favourite porridge soup." I brought out the small flask and opened it, the scent filling the entire room.My eyes watered in remembrance. If Ianth was sitting right in front of me, he'd be so excited to eat the soup with me. That had been his favorite ever since I came back."William came with me today. He became friends with someone special. Don't you want to see her? She is beautiful and very reserved. She reminded me of you when you were also seven years old." I rambled on."Please, wake up soon, sweetheart. We are all waiting for you. We need you to wake up." Rachel was standing outside the door, waiting for me. I wiped my eyes, sniffed before leaving the room. Ianth has been on that bed for more than a month."Thalia, are you alright?" Rachel asked in concern as she rubbed my arms.I nodded with a small smile. "I am fine. Is there something wrong?"

  • My Husband, My Son, My Betrayal    Culprit recognition

    Lorion's pov"Can you stay with Aunty Thalia for some time? I want to take care of something." I crouched to Arianna's size."Will you stay long?" She wrote. I shook my head, "I won't stay too long, I promise." I withdrew a small phone from my pocket and gave it to her.I had always kept the phone with me and never had to use it except in rare cases of emergencies. Now, I was giving it to Ariana because she needed it more."If you ever feel alone or burdened, sad or worried, call the only number on this burner phone anytime and I will come running to you, alright?" I held her shoulders.She looked at the phone in her hands, gripping it tightly. "Is this a goodbye message?" She scribbled.Goodbye message? I almost laughed. "It seems you've watched a lot of action movies, sweetie but no, I'm not saying goodbye. I'm only —"Arianna cut me off abruptly with a hug. Her hands wrapped around my neck and I embraced her back. It was good news because she was warming up towards me slowly. I'd

  • My Husband, My Son, My Betrayal    The perpetrator

    Lorion's pov "He was once a worker? Has he worked here before?" I asked.John pushed back his glasses, "Yes. Mr Philip was the vice chairman, second in position to Mr Eirik. He handled everything else, rarely allowing me to do anything as the assistant. But recently around last year, he was suspected. Mr Eirik finally caught him.""What was he doing?" Thalia asked.He sighed, "He was involved in fraudulent activities. He constantly transferred money from the company's account to an unknown account. He sold products for high prices in the market. Mr Eirik found out and fired him, blocking his access to the company.""So, how did he get in unnoticed? How did he do it?" I was literally running insane.The so-called Philip couldn't be recognized by other workers when he walked into the company's building. We let our guard down, allowing the enemy to walk in like he owned the place."I have no idea. He must have planned it very well. According to the footage, he dressed like he was one of
