Tears filled Victor’s eyes as he smiled, “At least they know my voice as their father.” I laughed, my own eyes filling with tears, “I could’ve told you that just by feeling the way they kick when they hear your voice.” He asked, “Really?” I nodded, “Really.”

Doctor Martin smiled, “There have been studies on that very thing. It has been known for years that a baby can recognize voices when they are near. However, it was never known if the reaction was an automatic reflex or genuine emotion. I hav

  • The Ex-Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 123

    Harley POVThe bailiff walked into the conference room, “Mrs. Harley Cross, the court is ready for you.” I smiled, “On my way.” I stood to join him, and we walked to the courtroom. As I walked through the gallery, I could feel eyes on me. It was seriously starting to creep me out until I got to the witness stand.As soon as I was sworn in, I sat down and immediately locked eyes with Daya. I smiled, then turned to the prosecutor, waiting for him to start speaking. He approached to stand in front of me, “Would you please state your full name for the court?” I nodded, “My name is Harlequin Marie Cross. Everyone just calls me Harley.”The prosecutor asked, “How long have you known the defendant?” I shrugged, “I had only known about her until two days after Victor told me he wanted a divorce.” He asked, “Was that the day after you moved out?” I nodded, “Yes. That was the day I had movers at the house to get my stuff out of our house. It was also the day I found out I was pregnant.”He asked

  • The Ex-Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 122

    Victor POVThe defense attorney, a short guy with a bit of a belly and a receding hairline, approached me, “Mister Cross, how would you characterize your relationship with my client now?” I huffed, “What relationship? She is nothing to me. The Daya I used to know died when she rejected my proposal and walked away. The woman who came back is not the one who left.”He asked, “What do you mean?” I answered, “In high school, Daya did not have that whiney voice, she wasn’t as clingy as she is now, and she wasn’t the type of girl who would plan to kill an unborn child or anyone, for that matter. The girl I proposed marriage to was just an average girl who was very pretty. The woman who came back is mostly plastic and it shows.“Everything about her, now, is overdone; cheek implants, collagen injections in the lips, facelift, butt implants, Botox injections so strong, a huge John Deere tractor won’t make her eyebrows move. I prefer a woman with a more natural look.” Daya jumped up again, “Vic

    Chapter 121Victor POVWhen I walked into the court room, I could feel all eyes on me as I walked through the gallery and approached the stand. I was sworn in and sat in the chair provided. As soon as I settled in, I caught Daya smiling at me and I gave her a disgusted expression as I shook my head. I heard her make a sound like a growl and I just shook my head at her again. It’s a good thing I got rid of her. There is no way I could have spent the rest of my life with her.The judge addressed the prosecution, “Prosecutor, please proceed.” The prosecutor stood up and walked to stand in front of me, “Mister Cross, how do you know Dayanara Lachland?” I answered, “Our mothers were friends since we were babies, so we grew up together.”The prosecutor asked, “At what age did you start dating?” I answered, “We were 16. When we graduated high school, I proposed, but she declined. She said she wanted to be able to stay single to get her acting career established.” He asked, “How did you take t

  • The Ex-Wife He Never Knew   Chapter 120

    When the prosecuting attorney approached us, I introduced him to Leigh Ann and explained that she could give him more information about Daya, as well as tell him how that information could be verified. He smiled, “I have been hoping someone like you would come forward. Thank you.“Let me call one of my assistants to come down and you can tell him everything you know. He will also know what questions to ask. He’s very familiar with this case.” When he stepped away to make the call, Leigh Ann started wringing her hands. I asked, “Are you nervous?” She shook her head, “I am, but I also know that what I’m doing is the right thing to do. I want to thank you again for potentially keeping me out of trouble.” I laughed, “I am glad I could help with that. I had a feeling you were all misled.”When he came back, he was joined by the Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. He introduced him to Leigh Ann and then asked me, “Harley, I know I will need you to testify today. You should join Victor in the con

    The next morning, we put Jessie, Kelly and Alette in charge of the store while the rest of us went to the courthouse for Daya’s trial. When we got there, Victor was asked by the prosecutor to have a seat in the hall until it was his turn to testify and the rest of us took our seats in the gallery on the prosecution’s side.As the gallery filled, I noticed every single woman who tried to hurt me or my babies on Daya’s side of the room, and they were all giving me death glares. Daniel must have also noticed because as I watched them, I felt him pulling me closer to him and his arm stayed around me. I looked up at him, and he gently kissed my forehead. I smiled at him and leaned into his chest.The women’s glares got more heated and I just smiled at them. I knew I was probably going to hear about this little exchange later, but I didn’t care at that exact moment. I also knew I wouldn’t even be going to the restroom alone, so the chances of them actually getting to me were pretty slim. I k

    Harley POVIt had been two weeks since we found out the sex of the babies, and I have been seriously wanting to start shopping for them. Daniel had agreed to go with me when I was ready, so I had started making a list of what we needed. We had a little bit of clothes for them, but I was ready to put some real color in their closet. Neutral colors cause people to guess the sex of the baby wrong. It ends up causing embarrassment for everyone.I was in the nursery with a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other when Daniel joined me, “Whatcha doing, love?” I smiled, “I’m ready to start buying some boy stuff for them. I’m making a list of all the stuff they need.” Daniel asked, “Mind if I come along?” I smiled, “I would love that, but I really don’t want to do it today. I would rather work on inventory for the studio today. I’m almost done with all the stock.”Daniel agreed, “That sounds good. I just heard from Victor. He’s still beating himself up for stressing you out that morning.” I

    On Friday afternoon, I was sketching a bracelet while the idea was fresh on my mind when I asked Daniel, “When are we leaving for New York City?” He looked up from his laptop, “I thought we would leave after dinner, this evening. Angela and Lacey already know.” I laughed, “Why didn’t I know? I need

    Daniel and Victor whipped their heads to the tech, “What’s wrong?” If I hadn’t also been concerned, I would’ve laughed. They each asked that question at the exact same time. The tech chuckled, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s just that I found a second baby.” This time, all three of us s

    As we were driven home, the driver announced to us, “Mister Cross, it looks like we have some guests.” We looked out the back window and found three cars coming up fast. Daniel held me close and told the driver, “Lose them. Don’t worry about the speed. Don’t go near our home without losing them.” Th

I disentangled myself from Daniel’s arms and went to the bathroom. After taking my shower and brushing my teeth, I walked out of the bathroom and found Daniel lying
