Semua Bab Escaping my heartless billionaire husband : Bab 151 - Bab 160

(Karis's pov) After relaxing a bit, Skyler left the hospital to get things prepared for Valeria's return, although he felt a guard to make sure we were safe. My hospital room was filled with chatter and a peaceful atmosphere. Esther had come to visit me after delivery. She was the only friend I made here. After surviving the accident and she became my attendant nurse we kind of clicked as friends. Inaudible blabbering came from Valeria's mouth in a cot beside me. After studying her condition for 24 hours, she was finally moved to my side. "She will be very beautiful," Esther said with sparkling eyes looking at Valeria's directions. "She has no choice, her mother is beautiful. "I said with a proud grin. It made me sound like a narcissist, somebody I knew at the back of my mind. "I am sure she will, to have you and Skyler as her parents, she will be blessed with unparalleled beauty." Esther chimed and a forced smile graced my lips. That was right; everyone thought her dad was

(Xander's pov) I heard the baby's cry from a distance. It had been a week since Emma gave birth, and after being slapped by reality so hard, there was no way of escaping. He was my son. 4 DNA tests and not even one came out negative. I begged secretly and wished for it so badly as a means of validation that I didn't cheat on Karis but 4 DNA tests can't be lying. Kyle even ran one, and I didn't want to believe it. The last time I was here was because of Karis. Now, I was family home to see her sister's son. ' Xander you are a scumbag.' I scoffed at myself. That day after Emma gave birth I didn't go to see her. She begged and cried over the phone and even went as far as going to the estate, but the gate was closed for her. My instructions were simple: I wouldn't see her until the baby's test results were out. The rain was pouring heavily, and I didn't bat an eye to see her and had to call Mum to drag her away. Everyone started calling me heartless, then after, which was funny

(Karis's pov) Bertha's speech made me emotional, I never expected she would dedicate such an award to me. The feeling of guilt started to trouble me because since the day of that plane crash three years ago, I had never made any contact with her, but she held me in her heart. The fashion icon award was for clothing item designers, which I was not in the category of. Although I had a clothing line, they were mainly designed by my employees. Once in a while, I designed a few dresses, but it was never my thing. My main category was the royal jeweller which was to be announced after the fashion icon award. Another important personality was called to the stage to announce the results.."the winner of the royal jeweller awards is...." The person drawled. "Even without opening this envelope, we know without a doubt the winner is Esmeralda from Sky Link." My industry name and the spotlight shown on me. A proud smile got on my smile and I graciously made my way to

(Karis's pov) I stayed by Valeria's side until her breath was even and I was sure she was deep asleep. I still could not believe how fast she had grown just yesterday. I could remember how scared I was when she came into the world earlier than expected, and now she will be turning Five in a couple of months. Valeria was a perfect combination of me and Xander's features, she had my chestnut hair and his grey eyes. She was spontaneous and cheerful like me but secretly scheming like Xander. Despite the fact she reminded me of Xander and my past it didn't make me love her any less. She was my all, and I am ready to do whatever it takes to give her the future she deserves, my little angel. My lips placed a soft kiss on her forehead and I adjusted the bed covers to make sure she was properly covered. It was in the late autumn and winter might start any day from now. After making sure she was cozy enough, I walked to her room's window to shut it and cover the curtains bef

(Xander's pov) They say time is a measure of the passage of events, and a lot of events happened over the course of 4 years. I had successfully brought the De Marco family to the Pinnacle. I was great at my job and had a lot of accomplishments over the years but something was missing. I walked towards the tombstones that were next to each and my heart squeezed seeing the names etched on it. They were two girls who meant so much to me but were taken away by the cold hand of death. Looking at the tombstone bearing the name Alessia De Marco and the next one by its side, Karis De Marco Nee Reynolds. Despite how much time had passed, the feeling of guilt I felt never left me. They both died because of me. I was always the one who ruined whatever I valued dearly. "It's been four years already, Karis, and I wonder if you have forgiven me yet, but I guess you can never forgive a scum bag like me," I said bitterly. There was no way she could forgive me. Instead of helping get reven
