CHAPTER 22. His strength… He placed his hands over mine which were gripping against his hard chest firmly. His skin was burning, it was hot. “Only if you had opened the door that day, shoved few slaps on my face and threatened me to do something to yourself, I should have changed my mind.” He mewled holding on to me tight. He was not wrong, providing that if I had tried— TRIED then we could have been together. I knew it right after the moment I met him for the first time, he was moody and a vague decision maker. He often made unprofessional decisions ruining his projects that could have been a big hit. “You know throughout the journey to the airport I wished to see you. Hug you. I know I was wrong but it won’t be wrong either to say that you didn’t made any efforts to save our relationship. If I was bent on ending us, drawing us apart then you too let me do it. You knew, I was attracted to her yet you kept mum just because you thought it will change me up. Why didn’t you change me li

CHAPTER 24. His mother… They reached his parents house. It was located in the main area of Seattle. And as for now they were sitting in the hall, relieved. Nobody ever saw Raven too much at peace before in these two years of Billy’s existence. For the first time in life, he felt so proud of himself for having made such a wonderful decision that was pulling everything together at its correct place. Just like a puzzle, all the parts were being placed in the proper place. They were now a complete family with a perfect couple, cute baby and their supporting parents and a big brother cum best friend who helped in every condition. Mrs. Carter placed the tray of cookies on the round small dark brown wooden table after handing the cups of coffee to everyone around. Her lips never forgot to maintain that happy smile indicating how joyous the moment was at the time. “I just checked on them. Billy is sleeping and Kiara is beside him near the bed massaging his wrists to soothe the pain of needl

CHAPTER 26. Just Mine… The situation was under control now. Thanks to Girard and the two officers that they managed to take her out of the house soon, bravely. I can’t describe what has gone through me! She has changed into a mad woman. All the way to the hall she kept screaming, threatening Raven and abusing Billy for running away from her. Shania was dragged out while she extortionately shouted that she will take away Billy from this house and do something worst to him. “Hey Billy, do you want to play some games?” The poor kid stick close to me still quivering with the incident that just took place. I don’t know what else has he seen that made him run out of her arms like that. He literally crawled to save his life no matter whether he was going to fall down on the other side! “Come on we will watch Noddy, that’s your favourite, isn’t it!” He sat on the bed quite reluctantly next to me. His arms lingered in my thigh as I looked for the remote. As I switched the TV on, he smiled fo

CHAPTER 28. Blissfully amazing… Raven’s point of view…. “I might get late today so you stay back with my mom and Billy.” We were driving to my parent’s house. Luckily there was not much traffic at this time as compared to the other days. I placed my hand on Kiara’s thigh giving it a light squeeze that she turned to see me with a smile. She has been off these days not talking much or throwing her tantrums on me like she did in the first month of our marriage. We celebrated our two months anniversary three days ago and ever since then I have realized that she has cut herself from talking to me openly! Uhh, may be because this is a new phase of our life. I think I am over thinking. It is still very difficult to accept reality, and I am glad Kiara is doing it better than any other women who is married to her ex after going through a lot of mess! “Raven I… I am not feeling good.” I scrunched my brows at her statement. Yes, I could see that with my eyes that she was not well and I wish

CHAPTER 30. What’s wrong… Days were passing in a jiffy. And with the passing time Billy’s attachment toward Kiara grew more. He became her obedient son who behaved himself only on her insistence. Ate food only when she sat with him by taking him in her lap and stuffing his little mouth with food with her hands. He slept only on her chest being lulled with love and read stories. All in all she has become an obsession of his life. An obsession that was giving him immense comfort and happiness. “Mu-mmmy!” He slurred kicking his legs in the air while laying on the floor on the back. Kiara was busy keeping his tiny clothes in the cupboard and there he was whining just because she was not taking him in her arms. Billy flipped on his stomach. He rose from the floor on his elbow staring her longingly as she folded his another few shirts those were supposed to be kept alone since they were to be washed again due to the stains it had on them. All thanks to his new habit… A new game he explore
