MasukThalia’s pov I have been pacing around my room for more than an hour. I wasn’t worried because Eirik was with my kids. I was more worried about him finding out he owns my kid. William.William had every single characteristic of Eirik. He only took my eyes. He took every other feature from Eirik. As much as it wasn’t annoying, I couldn’t let Eirik find out I was pregnant before I divorced him.“Why are you worried?” My mom walked in with two trays while she used her leg to close the door.I hurried to help her out by taking one of the trays from her. “What are you talking about?”“I could hear your pacing steps from the kitchen and it almost got on my nerves.” She said, sitting down.I sighed. “I am very worried.”“You can’t hide it from him forever.” She sighed too.I nodded because she was right. “But I don’t think I am ready to let him know.”“Don’t be surprised that William already knows.”The look of worriness disappeared from my face and got replaced with the look of shock. I wa
Mirelle’s povI stood up from the couch, pacing around the one room that I managed to rent. My problems were starting to choke me off badly.I was living in the slums. I hated everything about my life. The strong bricks I had built had crumbled hard. I had no job, no money for food let alone the one to get a good and furnished apartment. If I was still with Eirik, the situation would be different. It was always different. He had a mansion. A well furnished home while I was stuck in this smelly room. Thank goodness an old woman agreed to allow me pack in with such short notice.“Thalia.” I fumed, grinding my teeth hard.I was ruined because of her. She caused all of these. Why did she have to come back into the country? Why? Why did she crawl back into Eirik’s life? Why did she come back, disrupting my plans!I was beyond irritated and angry. The level of anger I felt could not be quenched easily. All my plans…the ones I’ve had since we were in university, there was no way I’d allow i
Eirik'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 "Mom, don't be mad at uncle Lorion." William murmured against my chest.He was staying home today. I was yet to be sure of what could have gone wrong with his stomach yesterday. He was admitted for hours for God's sake. I have always been careful of what I feed to him. How could the s
Eirik’s pov "There he is!" My mom called out, standing up from the couch. "I wanted to see how long you spend outside of your home and it turned out to be true.""Mom, what are you doing here?" I questioned in surprise. I didn't bring her in. I didn't ask her to come here. How did she — I paused,
Thalia's pov Lorion. I was a bit confused about everything. It surely looked very fishy. What if I was wrong about Lorion and my mom was right about her warnings?First, he took William to a hospital without my consent. He explained he didn't want me to worry and since it was something he could ha
Eirik’s pov In the morning, as usual, there was no breakfast and I didn't bother to wait for it. Anna's food last night was manageable. At least, I ate three out of the eight different things she cooked.Upon getting to the office, Thalia was just coming in with Lorion. My brows deepened with a fr
