Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorce? His Biggest Mistake: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

~WILLIAM~“Mr. Rogers…” It was James: “Ms. Anastasia is back in the city.”“What?!”“I just found out; they landed like an hour ago.”“Fuck!” I cursed as it now made sense; she was behind it, but how dare she pull such a stunt? How dare she come for me when her company was even doing badly?“Wait…” Jimena said, and with a boring expression, I turned to her. It happened so fast; next, she grabbed the phone from my hands, and since I didn't have the energy for her, I let her be as I walked to the drink cabinet picked a bottle of alcohol, and walked to the table, my eyes on Jimena, who now seemed to be arguing with James.I was going to pour a drink in my glass when James's voice echoed in my head: ‘Ms. Anastasia is back.’ He even had the guts to call her by her name and not by my last name; that frustrated me as I instead brought the bottle to my lips and gulped down its contents.“I want that bitch to pay; I don't know, do something.” I heard Jimena say, but I didn't stop her. At this

~WILLIAM~I was in the hospital pacing around waiting for the doctor. I don't know what I was feeling at the moment; Jimena was in there fighting for her life, and it was all my fault. I was to blame, and Mom was not even making it better as she kept reminding me that she had warned me.“You see what you've got yourself into. I told you, son, I told you to marry Jimena and—”“It's not my fault this time, Mom. I didn't—”“Just shut up! Shut up!” She yelled; she was very upset, “Listen to me, William, I know you're my son, but if anything happens to my grandchild, I will never forgive you, and I will make sure you pay for your crime.”“Mom, nothing is going to happen to Jimena and her baby, okay?”“W-what? Her baby? Are you listening to yourself right now? I mean, isn't she pregnant for you?”“I know…” I scratched the back of my head. “I mean our baby.”“William, are you having second thoughts?” She sounded calm, and no, I wasn't having second thoughts. Jimena and I have been having unp

~ANASTASIA~I wasn't thinking straight. Trey and I were twins, and so we were very close; hearing this broke my heart.I followed Margot with Dad and Carmen behind. She led us to his room, and when we reached the door, I was the first to enter, as she was a little slow.“Trey?!” I rushed to him as he was on the bed groaning in pain, but when he heard my voice, he sat up and pretended to be strong.“A…Ana…” He struggled to say my name, “I… I’m sorry I couldn’t… couldn’t pick you up.”“You’re bleeding?” I said, ignoring his concern as I tried to wipe off the blood from his nose with a cloth, but he flinched and complained in pain.“Call the doctor.” I heard Dad tell Margot. He didn’t sound worried to me, which got me thinking, but I didn’t address it. As I helped Trey get on the bed, I removed his shoes. Before helping him cover his legs, I noticed he was really hurt; his face had scratches, and blood was leaking from his head.I continued wiping blood off his face even when he asked me

~ANASTASIA~Seeing my daughter's fear made me realize what a terrible mistake I had made years ago. Why did I send her to live with Santiago? What happened in the times she got scared? How was she able to calm down, and how could I calm her down now?I was just caressing her cheeks, not knowing what to say as tears found their way to my own cheeks.“It’s not Daddy that’s sick, Ivy; it’s someone else, Ji—”“Daddy's friend.” I cut Santiago; Charlie was the one holding the phone up for us.“Daddy’s friend? Is it Uncle Harriot?” Ivy sat up; she still looked worried.“No, it's…”“A work friend.” Santiago saved me, “Yes, but she will be fine.”“It's a woman?” Ivy questioned.“Yes…but honey—”“I want to see Daddy tomorrow and say hi to his friend.” She said, and I nodded, even when I knew I was not going to take her. William heard we were back in town, but he didn't bother coming to see her.“Okay, love,” I patted her back while Charlie walked to the couch with my phone in his hands; he was

~ANASTASIA~Warm tears rolled down my cheek as the pain in my chest got unbearable; I could hear pitiful sounds from Gia and Carmen while Dad seemed to have left.“Honey, you were a little harsh on her.” I heard Gia say.“It’s not about being harsh; she left this family years back with humiliation. I had to walk the extra mile to restore its glory, and now she thinks she can just come back and humiliate us once again. If she’s getting a divorce from William, then she must marry Hudson; otherwise, she must beg William to take her back.” I heard every word that Santiago said.“She never made a dollar for this family, and since I’m the head, I will make sure both Trey and she become something more than just heirs of the Lancaster.” He added, before I felt his footsteps, I felt Gia's hand on mine before she followed him.I still couldn’t believe Santiago and Dad just walked away without saying anything. It was clear they had planned it, but an abortion? I thought they said they were behin
