I thought she had left, but it turned out she had waited for me. I didn't know what she wanted.I raised an eyebrow at her when she didn't speak."If you don't have anything to say, I'm leaving. I still have to pick up my daughter," I told her. I turned my back and was about to walk past her when she grabbed my arm."Do you really believe what he's telling you?" she asked me, her tone laced with mockery.I turned to look at her with a frown. "What are you talking about?"Her loud laugh filled the whole lobby. Everyone was looking at us because of the ruckus she was causing."Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about," she said again. "If you want to know about your so-called husband... if he even is your husband.""Do you think I'll believe you?" I asked her.She shrugged. "If you don't want to believe me, fine. It's your choice. But
Nicholas POV"You can't take my daughter away from me, Celeste," I said to her firmly.She has the nerve to come back into our lives. She abandoned Zylia for the sake of her career, and now she's back like nothing happened? Not gonna happen. There's no way she's getting my daughter."Zylia is still my daughter... you can't just introduce another woman to be her mother," Celeste said dramatically. She challenged me to a staring contest before speaking again. "I'll take her whether you like it or not. I am her mother, and I have every right, you know the rules, Nick."Then f**k that f**king rules! I'll break the rules when it comes to my daughter. I'll spend billions to keep her from getting Zylia."Then see you in court, Celeste. You also know that I have connections... I have money, and I can pull strings just to fight for my daughter," I said, grinning at her. I leaned back in my leather swivel chair and looked at her, bored. "You won't win against me, especially since you were never
Rosetta's POVNick was about to enter his soldier inside me when we heard Zylia's voice outside our room."Mommy! Daddy!" Zylia called us.Nicholas swore several times. Biting my lip, I pushed him off of me."Our daughter's calling us, Nick," I told him softly. I quickly picked up my panties and skirt from the floor and put them on immediately.When I finished, I immediately faced Nick, who was now only wearing boxers. I glanced down at his middle and bit my lip because the bulge was so big."Stop staring, wife..."I looked away and turned my back. I walked to the door and quickly opened it. I saw Zylia standing in front of our room door."Yes, baby? Do you need anything?" I asked her in a sweet tone.She nodded her head and pouted. "Yes, Mommy... I'm hungry. I want to eat Jollibee."I sat down so we were at the same level. "Do you want me to cook your food, hmm?" I asked her.She shook her head. "I don't want to. I want Jollibee, can I, Mommy?" she asked."Let's ask your dad, baby,"
Rosetta's POVNicholas’s words felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over me.Zylia's biological mother is back.So what happens to me? Will he throw me away from his life... from their life?And if I hadn't asked him, he wouldn't have told me. He had no plans on telling me."If I didn't ask you, you wouldn't have planned on telling me about it?" I asked him, a little bit hurt by only finding out now.A week has already passed, and he's only just told me."It’s not that... I just wanted to solve it on my own," he replied."Okay," was the only word that came out of me.I accepted that I wasn't really a part of his life. I didn't have the right to interfere because he was right... Zylia is his child, and she's not mine."Did you two meet... uhm... Did you talk already?" I asked him. I avoided his gaze because I didn't want to show him how much I was hurting."Yes, but we just tal—""Okay." I nodded and smiled. I faced him and saw him swallow several times. "No need to explain
Rosetta's POVIt's been weeks since I started ignoring him. We sleep together in one room, but I never let him near me; I sleep on the couch while he takes the bed. That's been our setup all week because I don't want Zylia to think that her crazy father and I are fighting.Sometimes when he comes home from work, he brings me flowers. He's trying to court me, win me back, but I'm still genuinely upset with him. I don't know when he'll stop. Just like now, he's carrying flowers—a bouquet of roses.He picked up Zylia from school.I raised my brows at him. "Do you really think your little flower gestures will win me over?" I asked him."Forgive Daddy already, Mommy," Zylia said from beside him, holding a teddy bear.Well, look at that! He even conspired with his daughter."And you really involved your daughter in this nonsense of yours?" I asked him."Please forgive me, Wife," he said while handing me the flowers he had been holding."Yes, Mommy. He promised that he wouldn't be mad again,
Rosetta's POVI blushed at what Mom said."What did Grandma mean, Mommy?" Zylia asked me.I shook my head and smiled. "It's nothing, baby.""Let's not pressure her, Ma," Nicholas said from behind me. "Zylia, come with your Mom. Your Grandma and I will just talk," he added in a serious voice.Why is he getting angry? What are they going to talk about? Is it about Mom's joke? I know Mom was just kidding."Nick, Mom was just joking. It doesn't hurt me," I said softly. I knew they both heard me because they turned to look at me."Just obey what I say, Rosetta."Did he just call me by my name? Rosetta... not wife, baby, or any other endearment he calls me? What's wrong with you, Nick? Why are you acting this way?I gave him a bitter smile and then nodded. I took Zylia's hand, turned my back on them, and Zylia and I went to the pool area.With slumped shoulders and a heavy heart, I sat down on a chair. Zylia sat on a small stool, holding her dolls."Mommy, is Daddy mad?" Zylia asked me, a q
