I held back my own excitement to tell Liam about the success of our sex last time. I would like to find a good time to surprise him with this great news. One more thing, he's been very busy these past few days, so for the meantime, I’d rather like him to focus on his job. Maybe telling my surprise to him can wait.One of these days, I will be able to tell him about my pregnancy... but I think this time is not so good and so perfect to speak."Most of the time, you drink coffee in the morning partnered with ham and sausage," Liam remarked, pointing his finger to my plate currently having plain rice with veggies, and to my drink, I have hot milk. "You're not into healthy foods. What's your reason for making a change?""Do you have to always question all the changes you'll notice every time with me?""You're acting strange, Kris. That's why." My piercing gaze could not shake his preoccupation with food. "And some changes in your body and routines only result in only two things..." Now Li
"Are you busy?" I was inside our room folding clothes when Liam arrived. "Kris--""Use your eyes. You see I'm doing something, right?" Maybe my pregnancy caused me to be hot-headed, so my mood suddenly changed.My heart skipped a beat when the door slammed hard, and my body jerked up out of nowhere as Liam pulled my hair causing my scalp to ache."L-Liam, it hurts--""Do you think you didn't hurt me the way you answered me, Kris?! Don't you care about me anymore?!" He presented my innocent face to him, only to be surprised when I saw tears streaming down his cheeks. "Don't you want me anymore, Kris?""L-Liam…"Even though my hand was shaking, I tried to remove his hand from clinging to my hair. But it was not enough as I let myself be too stunned by just looking at my husband... now that he's acting as someone I don't know... again."A-Are y-you okay?""You're asking me if I'm okay after what you've said to me?! What do you think?!" His previously gentle voice became harsh and sharp.
"Fuck that psychiatrist, Kris!" And as predicted, he's gonna explode like a ticking bomb. "Why do you keep insisting that I'm having mental illness-"“I'm not saying you are-”"But you're actually making me feel like I'm one!" The newly hired maids aren't at our house yet, so Liam and I are the only two here, fighting in the home he once called a palace. "Am I not normal in your eyes? What is wrong with my character for you to think that I’m insane?!”"Stop calling yourself like that. I'm not saying you're crazy-”"But you think there's a problem with my thinking, what's the difference? I'm okay and I’m totally fine, so stop forcing me to go to those stupid psychiatrists because I'm not mentally retarded!” He left me here in the living room of the house with the clothes he bought for me scattered.“He's a health worker. How could he call psychiatrists as doctors of crazy people?”Liam made me heave a long sigh for acting like that. He just couldn't admit to himself that there was real
He even laughed at me just to tease me. "I'm close with Liam. I'm one of his colleagues way back 2016-18, but we just parted ways when I flew to Italy with Gwen.""Whoa. I have no idea about that.” And literally I got surprised upon knowing my brother-in-law has connections with my husband. "Anyway, how are you? How are you and Gwen? Does mom already know that you are back here in the Philippines?""Gwen and I got home here last week. Actually, you're the only one who had no idea we're back." Hen suddenly turned his back on me while taking a look at the venue of Liam and I's wedding anniversary. Because from here, there is a view of the garden area. "Liam loved you so much, didn't he?"As much as I wanted to tell him the truth, I couldn't. Especially now that I found out that Hen is connected to my husband, I think this is not the perfect time to let the bomb explode."He truly is." Even inside, I want to divorce my husband. "He's a loving husband to me... indeed."I took advantage of
I lost my temper when Liam held my hand. It was so tight that he didn't want to let me go while his eyes were as fierce as fire if he could look.And I know this kind of scene. I have watched it and it has happened several times."Excuse us," Liam said coldly and without a word, he pulled me out of the venue where those guests who were curious about the scandal I made earlier were cutting me.And my body settled down from crying. Now my worry and sorrow for my dying mother has been replaced by fear. He pushed me into our room. The door slammed very hard when he closed it, while I did nothing but protect my baby with my aching arm.At this time, I can tolerate my husband hurting me again, just don't hurt my baby.“Aren't you thinking? There are so many people at the venue, did you really think of spreading out there? Fuck this life! In front of my friends, you're going to tell me that you almost lost respect for me as your husband?!”"M-My mother is dying, Liam. What do you want me to
I could clearly see the way he clenched his fists before turning his back on me and leaving the room. But even before he was completely out, he suddenly came in again and faced my face."And trust me, Kris. I tried to save your mother's life earlier. While Lance was checking you up, I called several hospitals to pick up your mom. Unfortunately, she's dead on arrival. I'm sorry for being too late.” At the same time as the door was closed, my tears fell one after the other.What the fvck? My mother's gone?My fists started to shiver like hell, trying my best not to scream the hell out of me. I was able to be okay because my baby is safe, but knowing the news of my mother, whom I haven't seen in years after I was imprisoned on the roof where my husband and I live, I can't even imagine the next time I'll meet her, it was now on her burial.I did what I could. I almost begged Liam's visiting doctors, as well as him, to help my mother. In fact, if they didn't act on the safety protocols the
"He's trying to fight his inner self, Kris. A while ago when I was inside with him, he's trying everything he could just so he wouldn't hurt me…”"Instead, he scratched his own wrist."I cried as I looked down at my husband lying peacefully on the couch. "What can we do, Logan? Is there anything I can do to improve my husband's condition?”"As I say, only he can help himself, Kris." From his table he could see Liam lying down. “DID can be controlled, but it cannot be cured. There are some medications and treatments that help patients with DID manage themselves for the rest of their lives.”"Liam could undergo psychotherapy and he really needs this right now. As I mentioned, it will help Liam if he learns to be open about himself and his condition by talking to a mental health professional who is willing to confide in him about his life. And his trusted mental health professional could also help him deal with his disorder, to give him tips only for a healthy lifestyle and possibly to e
"Let go of me, Henrix! I want to penetrate-”"Kris, they are no longer there." Henrix locked me in his clenched hands. "And my arrival was too late to save them," he weakly replied. "Let the policemen to bring their remains on the funeral, Kris-""How could you say that?!" Even though there were many people around to gossip about the explosion at our house, I did not use the presence of those gossips as an excuse to raise my voice to Henrix. "You will not understand me because you are not the one who lost your family, Hen!”I squeezed through the crowd of people and struggled to break through the barrier into our house, but another explosion occurred at our house, so that I was completely frozen as I watched our house turn to ashes."Kris, come on." With my body about to collapse due to weakness, it was easy for Hen to take me away from our house. "Gwen did her best to save Margaux and Ludwig... to escape the house."Hen caught my attention and just now realized that we were on a patr
