Andera's pov

I wiped another tear from my face, not caring that the chaffuer could see me from the rearview mirror. I had ordered a Black car serviceto pick me up from the restaurant. Since I entered the luxury vehicle. I've been alternating between crying and laughing. When Thane called our daughter's name, a deluded part of me had hoped he'd beg me to take him back so we could live together as a family. But then he ruined it, by asking about her paternity.

The first question he asked was if Tiffany was his child. Really? Is he stupid or did he say that to annoy me? I had thought. But then he kept on pressing, demanding to know if Tiffany was his daughter

Thane thought low of me. Disgustingly low.

I loved him, I worshipped the ground he stood on, and I made him see that no other person could measure up to him. Yet he implied that the moment we got divorced, I opened my legs to some Rando to knock me up.

Thane is going to suffer for every moment he hurt me, I wished I could do more

  • Reclaiming His Ex-wife; At all costs!    TWENTY SEVEN

    KELLAN'S P. O. VNumbness was a good thing.A safe thing.And to stay numb, I worked myself past possible limits. I reached exhaustion, and I worked past it, like a mindless machine. I was skipping meals, living off caffeine and fury and....pain. For someone like me, someone who lost the most beautiful thing in his life, there were no breaks for me. Sleep was something I couldn't afford.Day after day, I just... worked.It was the only way I knew how to survive since Ashley left with my heart in one hand and divorce papers in the other. Working was what got me into this mess, it was also the only thing that kept me from feeling everything I didn’t have the courage to feel.A few days ago, I passed out right here in the middle of my office. I woke up ten hours later with a stiff neck, pins and needles pricking me everywhere, and absolutely no memory of falling asleep.That was good too. Safe.It was better than dreaming of Ashley. It was better than seeing her face on every surface,

    ASHLEY'S P. O VJackie, July, and I stood outside the building. The sun beamed down on us as we squinted our eyes and looked up and up and upJuly scratched her scalp, her whole face was red from being under the sun for too long, but she was too stubborn to get under a shade “So....it's a six-story building. Okay”Jackie slipped her hands into the pockets of her jeans, her eyes slowly taking in the reddish-brick exterior and pale stone trim. “And the apartment available is on the sixth floor, Ashley have you considered how inconvenient it might be to carry groceries up there with your pregnancy” Jackie pulled out one hand and stretched it up for emphasis I chuckled, then paused as my hand instinctively went to the curve of my belly. “It's a baby Jackie, not a disability, and besides I'll use the elevator. That's what they're meant for”Jackie shook her head like she couldn't comprehend what I was saying. “What if the elevator breaks down and you have to hurry to the hospital for som

    ASHELY'S P. O. VI needed a nurseryWhich meant I needed an apartment.Which also meant, I needed an apartment far from where I could bump into Kellan since I wasn't ready to face him and tell him about the baby.July had been a big help to me, letting me stay longer than I probably should have, but now that I was going to have a daughter, I couldn't keep inconveniencing her, even though she says otherwise.Which was why I was scrolling through listings on a real estate site at eight in the morning, a tablet in one hand and a half-melted smoothie in the other.July was still curled up asleep on the couch, one hand resting on top of the couch while the other tucked under a fluffy throw pillow. July worked in a marketing department and had come home last night extremely tired, She crashed on the sofa and hadn't gotten up since, We would have woken her up, but luckily she's on leave for the rest of the week.I leaned back into the other couch, Jackie by my side as we browsed through apa

    ASHLEY'S P. O. V. There was something different about today.I didn't cry during the night, and I actually looked forward to the day ahead. That's what's different. Today, I'd get to see my baby and know if it's a boy or a girl.Something like an excited squeal escaped my lips as I stood in front of the full-length mirror, in only shorts and a bra. My baby bump was growing bigger. I rested my hand on the curve of my belly. My eyes were tired from too much thinking and crying, but I didn't care about that, not today.Today, I chose not to worry over things I have no control over and focus on the brighter side.Am I confused and worried about what life will be like for me? YesAre my feelings spiralling, do I sometimes regret forcing Kellan to sign the divorce and other times applaud myself for doing just that? Also yesBut would I let myself keep on drowning in things that have already happened? NoI'm going to be a mother, that is all that matters.My stomach fluttered just thinking

    ASHLEY'S P. O. V Sometimes, the hardest part of loving someone is knowing when to let them go. And that was what I did, I let Kellan go, now I'm all alone. Lying down in bed, staring at the ceiling, asking myself too many ‘what ifs’ What if I had just told Kellan about the baby? What if he finds out and hates me for it? What if I can't raise this child myself? What if this baby dies too? Too many thoughts sit with me in this silence. It's been four days since I walked out of Kellan's office. Four days since I went in there, and broke us both more than we already were What if Kellan isn't holding up well? I can't get over the hurt and pain on his face, the way Kellan held me with trembling fingers and kissed me softly. Against my will, tears slipped down my cheek, warm and wet. I glanced over to my right side, where the divorce papers were sitting on top of my vanity. I haven't sent it to the lawyer Yet I should be happy, right? I should be celebrating because this was

    ASHLEY'S P. O. VI'm sorry.I'm so sorry Kellan.My heart kept apologizing, but my face remained impassive. If I flattered, If I let the barest flicker of emotion show on my face, Kellan wouldn't agree.My throat was tight with unshed tears. I didn't want to go to him, to give him this ultimatum, but I knew Kellan; he was stubborn, very much so. This was my only card to play.But it was killing me with every breath.Kellan looked up at me with glassy eyes. My heart constricted in my chest. This hurts, so much. Seeing Kellan like this. It broke me, ripped my heart to pieces.“Ashley?” Kellan called, my name cracked on his lips, pain so evident etched on his face. I have seen Kellan happy, I have seen Kellan angry, I've seen him sad, nonchalant, and neglectful, too.But this...? This was a man whose soul was breaking, a man who was falling down, with no one to hold him up, because I pushed him myself.I'm sorry. I am so sorry.I tried to maintain my aloof mask, but Inside I was crying
