Brody's POVI closed the windows and put down the curtains. "Today was fast, I can't believe it's night already." Karen murmured. She helped me arrange the bedspread and we sat on the bed. The doctor had me discharged from the hospital quickly so I could rest a little before traveling back to meet my family. My mind drifted to Helen, she had really suffered a lot and losing a baby was just not the best thing to experience right now. Even though she had this funny and annoying behavior, I loved her more than anyone. I didn't want anything bad to happen to her and her child because I know what I've been through."So we're leaving for Texas tomorrow?" Karen suddenly asked, jerking me back to reality.I gave her a shaky laugh. "Yeah, I can't wait to go back. I can't wait to see Helen, I don't know what she would be going through right now."Karen placed her head on my chest. "Everything would be alright, I'm sure about that.""Funny enough, I've got you

Karen's POVHow could I tell him that I was nervous when I greeted him? "I'm sorry sir, I was...."He interrupted. "It's alright, I don't expect much from an illiterate. A lady who does not own any company," he looked at Brody and then turned to look at me. "Did you even go to a university?" He inquired."Dad, I won't...""It's alright," I whispered to Brody, I didn't want him to be disrespectful to his dad. "I dropped out of high school, my parents didn't have enough money to further my education." I informed him and he chuckled softly.He was livid. "I absolutely knew you didn't go to a reputable university." Brody's mom gave him a stern look. "Honey, I don't think we should be discussing this. Let's just have dinner as one family." "Dinner?" He asked. "I'm not going to have dinner with that woman." He added referring to me and climbed the stairs hurriedly.Brody held me and made me sit down comfortably on the sofa. I didn't even know his father

Brody's POVThomas came to meet me in the parlor with a flower. He gave it to me with a smile. I looked at him, confused. I didn't understand the reason for the flower he gave me. "Huh, I just wanted to say sorry for everything I've done to your family." He apologized.I chuckled and threw the flower at him. "This is a joke, right?" He shook his head still putting on an excited expression. "I plucked it in the garden, I didn't know what you would like so I just decided to give this to everyone."I scoffed. "Really? A flower? What am I supposed to do with that?"He chuckled softly and sat down. "I don't know, I'm just asking you to forgive me.""You didn't do anything.""You were angry with me when you found out that I was cheating on your sister."I looked at him with a frustrated sigh, he was definitely right, I just couldn't believe my eyes that night when I discovered that he was in another relationship after getting married to Helen."Everything'

Karen's POVI placed the bag on the bed and brought out the gifts Aunt Patricia bought from me. I found three new gowns in the bag and I smiled.She was trying to be nice to me, I just couldn't believe that the woman who hated and wanted me out of Brody's life bought me gifts. The door opened and Brody walked in with a grin on his face. "New clothes?" He asked, slamming the door behind him gently.I nodded. "Yeah, Aunt Patricia bought these beautiful gowns from me, I'm so excited that she has finally discovered that I'm not a bad person.Brody stared at me in awe, he was really shocked that his excitement was not expressed freely on his face. He sat on the bed and dropped his phone beside him. "I might get a new phone soon." He voiced out."Why?" I inquired."It has a virus already. Sometimes, it stops working during an important call or meeting." I answered with the hope of answering her question."You can meet a phone technician to check it and repair it. You

Karen's POVTears rolled down my cheeks. "Bill," I called out in a weak tone. "Please don't do this." I pleaded, my face went pale."You should have thought about this before falling in love with each other." He replied and snatched a mic from the musicians. He looked at us before making his stupid announcement. "Everyone, I have an announcement to make."The whole guests outside turned to look at him and some of the guests from the hall came outside when they heard his voice.Brody squeezed my hands gently trying to make me assured that he was not going to tell everyone the truth. "Everything would be alright." He assured me.I nodded and turned to look at Bill, he cleared his throat before making an announcement. My eyes scanned through the guests and found Brody's family looking at him. My heart skipped a beat as I heard Bill's voice. "I'm a therapist and Brody's my client," he began. I could feel my heart thumping hard in my chest due to fear.My gaze slowly re
