Se connecterEirik's pov I didn't know why Thalia left in a hurry. She didn't even wait to see Ianth. Although, the doctor said he shouldn't be disturbed and that we could likely see him the next day instead.I didn't go home. There was nothing to go back to. I slept on the chair, in front of my son's ward. I was still very afraid for him. He was out of coma but what if something else happened again?My mom who could harm him was already in jail. There was no need for me to be scared for him anymore. I hoped his health would get better and more better without any complications. Morning came like the other night never existed. I was the first to enter Ianth's ward after the doctor ran some checks on him again to make sure he was stable."Dad!" Ianth shouted immediately he saw me.No, he was already up. It didn't even look like he had been in coma except for the fact that he looked really lean. He was already sitting down on the bed, watching television. "Oh, my boy." I hugged him back with so mu
Thalia's povI didn't say anything. I just wanted to enjoy the silent moment as I focused on wiping Ianth's body. It wasn't dirty but that was how I had been doing it for a while now.Ianth was still my son. I was going to take care of him as one. He was sick so I wouldn't abandon him because of that. I needed him to get well quickly. All of a sudden, Ianth suddenly started gasping for breath. His chest rose and fell numerous times. My heartbeat accelerated in fear. I called the doctor quickly. "Rachel, how is it going?" Eirik didn't leave me as he approached the doctor for update.Doctor Rachel exhaled, "Fortunately, he stayed." Doctor Clark said,At first, I didn't understand what he said."Ianth is quite strong. He refused to give up even after so many complications that surrounded his health. But you need to be careful from now on." He added. He stayed meant that he was alive, right?Instant relief flooded my heart. Ianth was fine. He was actually fine."Is he out of coma?" Eir
Eirik's pov"What is next now?" Lorion questioned, walking into the room.I thought he had left. What was he still doing here? He should have gone. I only wanted to be alone for a while. I needed to fully regret my life choices and the kind of consequences I was suffering from."Stop it, Eirik. The main reason why you were in all of these mess has been taken out of the way. Stop sulking, it won't solve anything. What is next?""Nothing, Lorion." I almost snapped at him. "Nothing is next. I do not have anything in mind. I do not even want to do anything. I just want to be alone."Lorion sat on the floor beside where where I sat. "Eirik, I understand how you feel.""No, you don't. I have lost everything except this house we are in. I lost my wife, my son is in the hospital barely alive....I do not have anything else to my name. Nothing is next, Lorion. Everything has fallen."Lorion sighed, "Well, you are wrong. You still have the company.""What are you talking about? I gave the compan
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
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
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
