Thalia's pov"Mommy, when will you come back?" My three year old son, William, asked as he held my hands.I sighed, ruffling his hair. "Mommy will be back soon, don't worry."It was sad for me to leave my son alone. But there was so much for me to do and I can't do anything if William is around me. I have a soft spot for him as my son. Besides, I didn't want to involve him in my twisted affairs."Are you going to see my daddy?" He asked.I shook my head negatively. "No, daddy isn't here. I told you not to talk about him without caution."Of course, he didn't know who his daddy was. He just knew Lorion wasn't his daddy.William nodded in understanding and hugged me. "Grandma!" He jumped down from my arms and ran straight to my mother."Oh, big boy! Do you want some mango flavored cake?" My mom asked and led him to the dining table while she came back to me.I smiled, watching my little boy eat my favorite cake with every joy in his heart. It was funny how he inherited the same flavored
Eirik’s pov Three years later."What is this?" My eyes locked on the table, plates in disarray. Was this breakfast? I didn't know what to call it. Bean pudding that looked orange. Burnt toasted bread and scrambled eggs. What the hell?"Anna, what the hell is this?" I yelled at the maid who just sauntered into the dining space from the kitchen.She glanced at what I was talking about and shook her head, "I don't know what you are talking about, sir." She responded."What do you mean? I expected a complete breakfast, not food for dogs. Who prepared this?" I asked, dropping my suit jacket on the chair stand. She kneeled halfway, avoiding my eyes. "Madam Mirelle, sir.""Mirelle! Mirelle!" I was practically shouting. I knew she could hear me but she wouldn't respond right away.Mirelle walked into the dining room leisurely, her makeup half done which meant I just disturbed her morning activities but that was none of my concern at the moment. "Breakfast should be ready before eight o'cl
Thalia's povI stood in front of a particular wide gate, clutching the handle of my suitcase. The house felt very familiar, like I never left.There was no other choice. I had nowhere else to go. Divorcing a cheating man was a good thing until you became homeless. I chuckled at my foolishness.My hands pressed the gate bell and I waited. Two minutes later, the small screen showed an older man's face. I recognized him very well."Is that you?" His voice quivered as he ordered for the gate to be opened.I bowed respectfully, shaking his hands. Of course, he was older than the period I left him. He was one of those that tried to let me stay when I insisted on getting married to Eirik."Come on. Hurry up!" He smiled, practically jogging towards the main entrance of the mansion.I stood in front of the mansion for a few seconds before entering with a sigh. My eyes caught the familiarity of the house – somewhere I can finally and truthfully call a home."Who is –" My mom paused, staring bac
Thalia's pov"This is insane, Thalia. What are you doing?" Eirik stormed into the master bedroom.I didn't have a choice of coming into the matrimonial room even when I didn't want to but I had to pack my bags. I had already packed the one in the guest room. My main luggage was right in the master bedroom and I won't be leaving without them."Thalia, answer me!" He grabbed my hands aggressively, spinning me towards him.My pupils dilated. "Touch me again, Eirik and I swear to God, I will break those hands." I threatened him.I didn't know if I looked scary at that particular moment because he quickly let go after looking into my eyes. I didn't care. I went back to packing my stuff.There was nothing much that I needed. Clothes, makeup, shoes and all other necessary materials. Whichever wasn't necessary will be left out."Why are you doing this, Thalia?" He repeated.I scoffed, hating his voice. "What do you mean by this? If you are talking about the divorce, read the damn document and
Thalia's pov "Thalia, you need to be careful." Doctor Rachel frowned, slamming the test results on her desk. "You bled for a night. It is very risky at this early stage of your pregnancy if you don't want anything to happen to your baby."I sighed, lost in thoughts. I didn't know I would bleed. It happened at midnight. No, I didn't sleep. I remained in the same sitting position for the entire night. It must have been the stress."Did you inform your husband about it? Have you discussed it?" She asked.My mind flashed back to the minute I wanted to inform Eirik about our new baby. That was when I saw Mirelle was pregnant too. Besides, everything was ruined. There would be no need."We have decided to keep the baby." I lied through my teeth.I didn't feel any guilt for telling a lie. Eirik has told countless lies already. What difference would it make?"Your antenatal has started. Get the prescribed drugs at the pharmacy section." Rachel said, passing the light paper towards me.I stoo
Thalia's povI turned the keys of the room door just in case Eirik decided to burst in with his useless apologies, one that wouldn't erase what has been done.Two secrets that could break me? What more could break me more than it already has? Maybe Lorion just found out about Mirelle's pregnancy and wanted to tell me first.There was no need right? But I couldn't take my eyes off the word file staring at me through my phone screen. An uneasy feeling crept into my heart.I sucked in breath and clicked on the downloaded file. Several documents popped up. At first, I thought it was nonsense but it started making sense.[Hospital: Revermint Sideline] [Status of mother: Alive ][Mother: Thalia Jones][Child: Male][Status of child: Dead][Hospital: Revermint Sideline][Status of mother: Alive][Mother: Elizabeth France ][Child: Male][Status of child: Alive]My hands started shaking as I read through the documents, pretending not to understand a word. There were pictures of the mal
