The muscles wouldn't move when I pushed my hand back, and it felt like frayed threads about to snap. Why? The pain in my arm was so sharp that I couldn't help but wince. My body reacted to every effort.Strange.I couldn't shake off the pain in my body, but life carried on.Almost funny.Almost tragic.My eyes narrowed in on the pale ceiling, dust gliding through the sunlight. I attempted to count in my head, manage my breathing, and calm my unstable he

Ophelia's POV I ar͏rived fifteen minutes early.Not because I was too happy to see Hellen, but because I was really nervous. Sitting at home only made my head more messy so I chose to get there early and wait, looking at the door.The eatery Hellen picked was surely no normal spot. Pretty lights, fancy tables, servers in clean clothes, and the smell of rich perfume blended with coffee made the place seem like a world far from the mess I was dealing with.I fixed my back when Hellen at last came.She walked in with an easy, sure step, her snug, light-colored dress fitting her just right. On her finger shone a big ring that seemed costly even from far away. Her hair was tidy and her face almost perfect. As always, Hellen appeared as if her life had never been in chaos!"Ophelia."She grinned, stretching her arms, like we were long-time pals who hadn't seen each other. I got up and gave her a quick hug."Hellen. You're

Ophelia's POV I stared at my reflection for a long time. The woman in the mirror looked terrified.Slowly, I wiped away the tears running down my cheeks. Giving up wasn't an option.I couldn't stop now. Not yet.Because the only thing more terrifying than maintaining this lie was losing Julian forever. That possibility frightened me more than anything else.The thought returned once again. This time it refused to leave.At first it was only a fleeting idea. Then it became clearer and clearer.It was like a whisper in the back of my mind. A whisper I couldn't silence.I couldn't keep this lie alive forever. Deep down, I already knew that.My hands clenched against the vanity. Tension spread through my entire body.Several weeks had passed since I told Julian I was pregnant. Back then, everything had felt so easy.All I had to do was show him a test result. Then I only needed to pretend I was visiting the hospital.I made him believe me
Too Late for Regret: My Husband and My Son 238
Ophelia's POV Julian was still with me. He was my husband according to the law.He came home to our house. He slept under the roof like me.None of that made me feel safe anymore.There's a difference between having someone in your life and truly having a place in their heart.I shut my eyes. Memories of this morning came back.Maximilian's angry face was the thing I saw.Then I remembered him defending Vivienne without hesitation.Lastly I recalled Julian's expression changing when I said Vivienne was no longer part of our family.I gritted my teeth.Why didn't anyone understand how I felt?Why didn't anyone see how hard this was for me?I was tired of watching everyone choose Vivienne over me.. I kept pretending I was okay.The truth was that nothing was okay.I hadn't felt secure in a time. Maybe I never really had.It started when I realized par

Ophelia's POV I slammed my bedroom door the moment I heard Julian's car leave the house.Silence immediately settled over the mansion again. I really hated this silence. I hated it more than anythingI hated this house. Most of all I hated the thoughts that had been haunting me for weeks now.I dropped onto the bed. Stared at the ceiling. Everything felt like it was slipping beyond my control.Losing control was the one thing I hated most.. That was exactly what was happening to me with Julian and this whole situation.Damn it.I never expected Julian to come home night. Seeing him arrive with Maximilian made it even worse for me.I had still been drunk at the time. My head was. Frustration had already consumed me after calling Julian over and over without getting the answer I wanted from him.Then Julian suddenly appeared in front of my room. His face was cold. His eyes immediately landed on the empty alco
Too Late for Regret: My Husband and My Son 236
Julian's POV I gave her a faint smile. It was the best I could manage."Thank you."She began reviewing my schedule for the day. The list seemed endless.Client meetings. Financial reports.Contracts that needed immediate signatures. Countless other responsibilities that only made my head feel fuller.I tried to focus. I truly did.Every few minutes, my thoughts drifted away. Concentration felt impossible.Back to the hospital. Back to the VIP room where Vivienne was recovering.I wondered if she was awake. I wondered if the dizziness had eased.I wondered if she had eaten breakfast. I wondered if she was resting.Maybe she was sitting alone by the window again. The image appeared in my mind so clearly."Sir?"My secretary's voice pulled me back. I blinked and looked up."Hm?""Should the ten o'clock meeting proceed as scheduled?"I bl

Julian's POV My heart immediately started beating faster.For few seconds, the only noise was a engine.I didn't answer right away.Some queries were too risky to reply without thought.Particularly when it came from a kid who trusted every word the dad said.Maximilian waited patiently.I searched for the right answer. One that wouldn't hurt anyone.One that wouldn't drag him into adult problems.The more I thought about it, the more I saw there was no best answer.No perfect path. No perfect family.Just folks doing their best, but still making errors.I let out a slow breath.My eyes stayed on the path in front of me. The morning sun bounces off the glass."Maximilian.""Yeah?""I'm sorry."He looked confused."Why are you apologizing?"Because I'm the one who made everything complicated.Because I can't gi

Julian's POV The auto crept slowly down the morning streets, still wet with dew but the feeling inside seemed thicker than the air outside. In the back mirror, I could see Maximilian curled up on himself, his school bag held to his chest like a tiny shield.His face was gloomy, his

Vivienne's POV Maximilian frowned, the last traces of tears shining at the corners of his eyes. “But at Dad’s house Mom’s room is still there.” His words made my tongue go numb. Of course it was still there. Julian had never cleared it out. Even after I left in shame

Vivienne's POV Julian stood near us. I could sense his doubt without seeing his face. He was the kind who always wanted an answer, a rule, the best move to make. But this wasn’t about good or badThis was about wounds that had never truly healed.“Vivienne,” his voice said

Vivienne's POV Julian looked over from the cooking area, seeing us with a softness so strong it almost made me weep again. The gaze of a dad. A man I once cared for. Maybe I still did; I wasn't sure?At that time, I saw something. I didn’t know where life would lead us. But for now,
