Kayla's POVCallan offered me a glass of water when he saw me coughing. I was so startled when I heard the question. I couldn't reply to him; instead, I choked on my food.“I gulped the water immediately.” I felt better after drinking the water, and then I dropped the cup back on the table.“I'm so sorry about that.” I said and raised my head to look at him.“It's fine. I'm so sorry that I bugged you with my too many questions; I'm sure you must have felt too uncomfortable.” “No, you didn't. I…”“It's fine, Kayla; you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.” “It's not like I don't want to tell you about it; it's just that a lot has been going on lately, and it's been messing with me mentally. I really need to think and make a decision as soon as possible because I guess he feels very confident that I am not going to stay all by myself for a long time. I believe he feels I still have feelings for him somehow. I have to think of Aurora before making any decision right now, which
Writer's POVKayla went back to her bed when she noticed that Jackson was nowhere around the house again. She was wondering what both of them must have talked about because it took so much time. She heaved a sigh and raised her head.“I don't think he deserves a second chance from me.” Kayla thought to herself after thinking about the conversation both of them had. She realized he was being a gaslighter all through, and he doesn't see anything wrong in what he has done. He still claims that he hasn't done anything wrong to Kayla and she only took things the wrong way, which made both of them go their separate ways when in reality he was actually the one that ended things. He keeps trying to use Aurora as a means to return to Kayla's life, and that is what she fears the most; she doesn't want to raise her daughter in a toxic environment where both of them don't have a good relationship. She wants her daughter to grow up with all the love she could get from both her mom and her dad. I
Jackson POVThere was something definitely different about Callan; he claimed to have lost his memory, but I could tell that every time he looked at me, there was this burning rage inside of him, like he was waiting for the right time to strike, and he kept holding back his words, especially the moment I tried talking about Kayla.I know there is something he's hiding from me. It's either he's pretending to have lost his memory, which I have to find out immediately before he strikes. Callan has always had his way of getting information from people, which is something Father used to love the most about him, and that is why he represented the company every time we had a deal from another country. The question he asked threw me off guard, and I completely lost my balance, which leaves me with the conclusion that he is definitely hiding something from me, and I hate it because it makes me look stupid. “Tell me the truth, you didn't actually lose your memory.” I asked him with an angry s
Writer's POVJackson was not actually surprised to see Callan in his house; he was even curious to know where Callan was all along, so seeing him now is a good opportunity for both of them to have a conversation and, for once, agree on something. “I am sorry I did not inform you before coming here, but I had to be here because I needed to see my wife and my child.”“Your wife?” “Oh, we might be divorced now, but I plan on making things right with her again, so I think it's only right for me to refer to her as my wife. Do you have a problem with that?” Callan was completely surprised to hear what Jackson said to him. Although he knows Jackson to be a very selfish person and he has known from the start that Jackson wasn't going to give up on Kayla just like that, he will definitely put up a fight just so that she can go back to him. “I still think you don't have the right to call her your wife; maybe when you end up getting her back, you will have the right to call her that, but for
Writer's POVKayla was completely speechless the moment she saw Jackson sitting on the couch staring with a bright smile on his face.She was just thinking about him a few days ago and why he hasn't bothered to come again, and then here he is, but she doesn't seem happy about his presence, which makes it crazier.“What are you doing here?” She asked him angrily the moment she walked downstairs completely and walked closer to him so that she could hear him very well and know why he had come again. She was trying to have the conversation as fast as possible so that Callan wouldn't see him and get even more upset because right now there was already something bothering him, and seeing Jackson would only make it worse. “Why do you always ask such questions whenever you see me? You are my wife, and you have a child that is also mine with you, so what makes you think that I don't need to be here?” Jackson asked; he tried as much as possible not to sound too upset because he is here to convi
Kayla's POV Being a mother was such a bittersweet experience for me because it is what I have always wanted, and at the same time I don’t want it this way. I wished to have a happy family, but here I am living with my ex-husband’s stepbrother, and even though I have feelings for him, I can't show it yet because I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing by falling in love with him. It was almost time to sleep, but my mind was so clouded that I couldn't sleep. I desperately wanted to take revenge on him for ruining my life, but instead of taking revenge, I chose to move on with my life because I still have a soft spot for him, which I wasn't aware of. Seeing him again almost made me weak to the extent of falling back into his hands, but I stopped myself from doing that, as it'll only hurt. I really hoped that finally he would fight for us again, but he chose to leave without putting up a fight; he never bothered calling, and he didn't even think about Aurora. “What is wrong with you, K
