Two Loves, One Destiny 23
Kiara My mother-in-law, Juliette, and I got along wonderfully. I have to admit I was afraid Juliette would reject me when she saw I was dating Thomas. After I divorced Jake, I changed my phone number, and no one in town heard from me again. I don’t know if they sent me messages or tried to call. One of the people I never heard from again was Juliette. We didn’t speak until Thomas and I showed up at her house to give her the news we had kept secret, that we were together. And that we were having children... But Juliette didn’t take it badly. On the contrary, she believed Jake had been an idiot. She called her own son an idiot because she couldn’t believe he left me just for believing my sister. Juliette said Jake was no different from what he judged: he judged me for being with his brother, but he did the same thing by sleeping with and marrying mine. I was glad to have her on my side, but honestly, her validation wasn’t really important to me. I knew who had been wrong in the re

Jake “Yes, she has a high chance of dying,” he stated, with a tone I didn’t like. I went from feeling hot to feeling cold. Goosebumps covered my skin, and my stomach no longer had room for coffee. “Kiara’s situation is complicated, and so is one of the babies’. But tomorrow, the other baby could also be compromised.” “I can’t believe she didn’t tell me she had cancer,” I said, leaning back angrily against the chair. I felt rage. Too much. “Did you never suspect something was wrong with her?” he asked after a minute. A minute he spent in silence, playing with the sugar packet from the container. He looked thoughtful, but so was I, enough to wonder why he had gone quiet. Then he looked at me, studying every one of my expressions. “No. I know she’s had vomiting and… that. But nothing out of the ordinary to make me suspect she was sick.” “Jake…” He paused. He looked at me as if asking for permission to say what he wanted to say. “What is it?” I encouraged him. Derek leaned ove

Jake“So? What’s the information you have for me?” I asked when the waitress brought us our coffee.“To begin with, you were right about your suspicions. Kiara’s pregnancy is high-risk because one of the babies has a weaker heartbeat compared to the other.”“It was true…” I said, stirring my coffee.I felt a sharp pang in my chest.Another thing I couldn’t understand.Why did I care? It wasn’t my life. It wasn’t my problem. I didn’t love Kiara. I didn’t care what happened to her.And yet, the pang kept twisting something inside me, something I couldn’t decipher.I took a sip of my coffee, as if that could drown the feeling, but it didn’t work.“Yes. I got the information by bribing the hospital receptionist. I was able to access her medical records. From now on, I’ll have access whenever I want, and I’ll come tell you as soon as I find out anything. But that comes with an extra fee,” he clarified.Yes, Derek was very good at his job, but he was also great at squeezing money out of any

Jake Staying away from Kiara was the healthiest option for everyone, but I couldn’t stay on the sidelines. “You’re still in love with her, aren’t you?” Derek asked, staring at me intently. The question caught me off guard, but my lips were ready to answer. “Of course not.” “Then why do you want to investigate her?” he pressed. “Does that matter?” I said, annoyed. It irritated me that he implied I was still in love with Kiara. My feelings for her were now only resentment, hatred, and disgust, not love. Knowing about her relationship with Thomas made that clear. I only felt rejection. “No one investigates someone unless they care. Either you’re still in love with her, or you want to make her life miserable by learning her secrets.” “Neither. It’s simple curiosity.” I looked away. In love? Hadn’t I been clear? Derek looked at me, clearly not buying my answer, which only made me angrier. But I explained what I wanted from his work so he could start gathering information. When

Jake I walked past Kiara and Thomas, holding Irina’s hand. What nonsense. Kiara is trying to drag me into some confusing game of senseless accusations. I could be many terrible things, but I would never send a text message about a baby’s health issues. As we walked toward the house, leaving Kiara and Thomas behind, I couldn’t help thinking about the message. I didn’t know if they made it up themselves or what. It wouldn’t surprise me if Thomas planned something that low just to make our mother angry with me and cause problems for me at the company. But I had a strange feeling in my chest that I couldn’t shake. Something inside me was pushing me to find out what was going on with the baby. Whether it was true or not. I wasn’t sure if my mother knew that information. Asking her wasn’t a good option either. Asking would expose me. It would make her think that I cared about Kiara. I didn’t care. I was just curious. Mom was resting on the couch and smiled when she saw me walk in, b

Kiara When I grabbed my phone from Thomas’s hands, I faced the suspects and dialed the number so they could see. Jake stared at me like I was insane. Irina, however, gave me a faint smile. She was mocking me. She always did. I put the phone on speaker. There was no need to explain what I was doing. But the phone rang over and over from mine. Yet neither of their phones rang. The call eventually ended on its own because there was no answer. “Can you stop wasting our time? We don’t have all day for your nonsense, Kiara,” Jake’s voice was harsh and cold. Completely uninterested. The phone didn’t ring, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t them. Maybe they had it on silent. That had to be it. It made no sense for anyone else to want us out of the city. I looked at Thomas. He read my expression as if he could hear my thoughts. “Show me your phone, Jake,” he ordered. “Excuse me?” Jake raised his eyebrows, already tired of the situation. “Show me your phone.
