Chapter 5

Author: Her Eyes
"Is she the mother of your babies, Steven?" Amanda questioned.

"Who else would it be?" I retorted.

Only then did Mia turn around. Her cool gaze swept over Amanda, and her lips curled into a faintly mocking smile.

"Well, it can't possibly be you, right, Ms. Crane? Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mia Johnson. I'm Steven's wife."

"No! No way! Steven is mine!"

Amanda's eyes were bloodshot as she shouted at Mia, "I can give him more money than he could possibly spend. I can take care of

    A few years passed after that.Crane Group's lawyers vehemently argued that Ian's death was a suicide. In the end, Amanda was sentenced to several years of prison time for intentional injury.The day she was released, the sky was overcast.The first thing she did after getting out was go to my old house.It was dark out. Amanda stood under a streetlight, tilting her head up to look at the second-floor window. Warm light spilled from the glass, looking like a home far out of reach, with a light left on just for her. It looked almost beyond her grasp, as if she could only return to this sanctuary in her dreams."Go on. Take it to him," Amanda said hoarsely as she handed an expensive men's watch to Eric, who was beside her. "Tell him it's a gift to congratulate him on the birth of his son."Eric hesitated, his expression uncertain. "Ms. Crane, are you sure that's a good idea? Mr. Walsh is—""Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and do as I say!" she snapped.Sighing, Eric t

    Ian froze, his whole body stiffening. Before he could make a run for it, Amanda grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the crowd.Without a word, she slapped him hard across the face.Stars exploded in Ian's vision, and his eyes watered. "Why did you hit me, Mandy? Did I do something wrong?""The nerve of you to ask me that!" Amanda snarled as she glowered at him, her eyes bloodshot. "How dare you pay people to torture Steven? He's the man I love! You had them lock him up and deny him food and water for three days! You had them pin him to the floor and beat him up, breaking two of his ribs! You made him suffer such abuse! Are you even human?"Faced with her murderous rage, Ian finally dropped his act. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted. "Oh. So you've uncovered everything. That's right. I did all that. So what?"Amanda almost had a meltdown as she screamed at him, "If it hadn't been for you, Steven and I would've gotten married by now! We would've had

    Amanda's eyes widened, and her entire body stiffened."I spent a whole day and night preparing for the proposal," I informed her. "I hid the ring. I wanted to surprise you, to tell you we'd be forming our own little family—that you wouldn't have to worry about me leaving you anymore. But one phone call from Ian, and you wanted to run off to pick him up."I got so mad. I didn't want you to still be involved with another man, even on the day I was about to propose to you. I wanted to stop you. But in the end, what happened?"I chuckled bitterly, the ash from the cigarette scalding my fingertips, but I couldn't feel it."You shipped me off to a psychiatric hospital. You destroyed our happiness with your own hands, Amanda."Amanda fell to her knees, looking like her soul had been ripped out of her. Her trembling hands reached toward me, but she couldn't touch me."No… That's not true… I didn't know! I thought—"At that moment, her phone rang. The jarring sound kept going off, so she

    My heart didn't stir at all at the sight. As I looked down at her wobbly figure, I snapped, "Don't come any closer! I'm married. Take one more step, and I'll call the police!"Amanda was rooted to the spot, but she refused to give up. Her breath came out as mist, and her eyes were frighteningly bloodshot."I know you're married, Steven. I don't mind… I don't need to be your wife. I can leave all the shares of Crane Group to you and your children, as long as you let me stay by your side! I can even be their nanny… I can even be your mistress! Just don't drive me away!"That made me laugh. "You disgust me so much, Amanda. There's no room for three people in a relationship. Don't you know that? My wife and I have a wonderful marriage. I don't need you to get in our way.""No! Steven, I won't get in your way," Amanda desperately tried to plead with me. "I just want to see you. As long as I can see you, that's enough…"But at that moment, Mia stepped out of the house. I hadn't even not

    All along, Amanda only wanted me to prove that I cared about her. She never wanted me to hurt myself.That was why she chose to put me in a psychiatric hospital, hoping that I would gain a hold of myself once more—hoping that someone else could take care of the "sick" me in her place.She firmly believed that once I was better, I'd come back to her.Even when Ian tried to enter this study, she ripped into him and told him to get out. This was my territory. No one else was allowed to come in.So, she couldn't understand why I wasn't coming back to this house and to her.Amanda stood there in a daze, her fingers brushing over a portrait of me on the wall. Her hand trembled, and with a soft thud, a black notebook fell out from behind the frame.Startled, she picked it up with shaking hands.When she read the first entry, she realized it'd been written the day she first took a photo with Ian."Amanda took a photo with Ian today. I got into a huge fight with her and threw a lot of t

    With a pair of sunglasses on, Amanda hid in the corner of the obstetrics ward, like a petty thief spying on another family's happiness.At first, she only wanted to catch a glimpse of me—just for a moment.But she saw me kneeling on one knee, gently helping Mia change into a pair of comfortable flats before carefully massaging her slightly swollen calves. It was clear from my tender movements that I'd done this a thousand times before.Mia held the ultrasound report in her hand, smiling so brightly that her eyes crinkled."Look! Our two little babies are growing so well." She pointed at the black-and-white images, her tone cheerful."It's a good thing they take after you. I'm sure they'll be just as steady and even-tempered as you are. It'd be such a huge headache if they ended up having volatile tempers, flying off the handle at any given moment, like your ex."Amanda felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest. She couldn't take it anymore. In a few quick strides, she
