Pregnant, Betrayed, and Done with Their Lies Chapter 12
Sean smiled at me. "So, what's the plan now?"I glanced out through the airport windows at the sky beyond. "I'm gonna take a break first, then go back to school."He raised a brow. "That psych program you gave up on before?"I nodded.When I graduated from college, I was offered a place in an out-of-state graduate program. However, Alvin's career was just getting off the ground, and he said he couldn't manage without me.Esther had told me that there was no need for a woman to work herself so hard and that having the people I loved beside me mattered more. Ultimately, I stayed and helped Alvin survive the hardest years of building his career.Looking back now, I realized I owed myself an apology.The boarding announcement came over the speakers.Sean reached out and gave me a brief hug. "Keep moving forward, Daphne."I smiled and nodded. "I will."As the plane took off, I watched the city shrink beneath the clouds. Love, hate, betrayal, and tears gradually blurred into distan

"It wasn't that one day that ruined us. It was every lie, every time you took Esther's side, and every time you made me wonder if I was crazy," I said.The color drained from Alvin's face."You said I was oversensitive and paranoid, but it turns out my gut was right every single time. What really broke me wasn't the doubt. It was that you two did those things, then forced me to believe you didn't."His hand shook so badly he could barely hold the pen.In the end, he still signed the divorce agreement. The moment he finished, it was like someone had pulled the plug and drained every bit of strength out of him."Daph, can I still see you after this?" he rasped.I put the papers away. "No."He stared at me dazedly.I said calmly, "I don't hate you anymore, Alvin."As a tiny flicker of light came back to his eyes, I added, "Because you just don't matter to me anymore."That light went out completely.When I stepped out of the cafe, it was drizzling. I popped open my umbrella and

Esther sobbed as she slammed a thick stack of test results against Alvin's chest. "When you told me to get rid of the baby, did it ever cross your mind that they're your flesh and blood, too? And now you want to stand here and act like some devoted lover?"Alvin froze. He looked utterly exposed, as if someone had stripped him bare in public.As I watched them tear into each other, I felt no satisfaction. I just felt disgusted.Sean soon arrived and stepped in front of me, shielding me. He looked coldly at Alvin and said, "Mr. Lane, if you keep harassing Ms. Stark, we'll file for a restraining order."Alvin stared at me blankly. "Daph, are you really gonna take things that far?"I didn't answer. As I turned away to head upstairs, I heard Esther break down into sobs behind me. I also heard Alvin say hoarsely, "Esther, we're over."…That night, a video popped up on a local forum.The headline was impossible to miss. "Devoted Husband Begs for Wife Back—Pregnant Mistress Confronts

One day, when I got home after work, I saw Alvin waiting for me with a thermal flask. He looked like he'd lost weight. He was unshaven, and his eyes were bloodshot.His eyes lit up when he saw me. "Daph."I stopped about ten feet away. "Alvin, I told you to stop harassing me."He acted like he didn't hear me and held out the flask. "I made you soup. The doctor said you're weak now and need all the nutrition you can get. I spent a really long time learning how to make this. It may not taste that good yet, but just try—"I didn't take it. "You never set foot in the kitchen in the past."Alvin's eyes reddened. "I promise I'll learn to cook from now on."I looked him in the eye. "It's too late for that."The words were as light as air, but they cut like a knife, draining the color from his face.His fingers tightened, and the flask started to shake. "Daph, I swear I've ended things with Esther. I told her to get rid of the baby, but she refused. I'll give her money and make it up t

I stared at Esther, suddenly feeling like I'd heard those words before. They were similar to what Alvin had said to me yesterday.They both thought that if the relationship were long enough, that would somehow even out the damage done. However, that wasn't true. The longer the relationship, the more the betrayal hurt.Esther stepped forward and grabbed my wrist. "I admit I was wrong, but I didn't mean to steal what was yours. I just… I just wanted someone to choose me. Just once."My gaze was ice-cold. "So, you chose to steal my husband?"She shook her head, sobbing. "I didn't steal him. At first, it really was an accident. The night before the wedding, you fought with him again over those marks. He got drunk and held me, saying he was exhausted. He said you never trusted him, and he didn't know what to do anymore."I was really hurting, too. I felt like you had the home and the person I wanted most, and you still refused to cherish them."Esther's voice broke, and bitterness fil

"Yes, you're not divorced yet." Sean was calm. "That's why I'm giving you the divorce papers now."Alvin flung the papers to the floor. Sheets scattered everywhere."I'm not signing." He looked at me, his voice strained to the breaking point. "Daph, I know you hate me right now. You can take it out on me however you want—heck, I'll even get on my knees for you. I'll take it. But you can't just erase our five years because you're mad."I lifted my eyes to his. "Alvin, do you remember what you said the first time you took me home?"He froze.I answered for him. "You said I didn't have to be scared anymore. You said you'd give me a home."My chest felt like something heavy was crushing it; even breathing hurt. "I believed you. That's why I let you see me at my worst, and I left all my weakest parts in your care."But you and Esther—one of you used my insecurity as an excuse, and the other used my trust as a cover-up. You made me feel like every moment I thought I was loved all thes
