Semua Bab Unrequited Love: I want a divorce from you!: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Michael didn't visit Nayla at all, let alone contact her. He had completely disappeared from her for a while. All his attention and free time began to be diverted to Nadira.Nadira slowly began to feel better. She knew that Michael couldn't love her back the way she wanted, but she also knew that he cared for her sincerely. That was enough for her to move on and seek happiness in her life.Michael, on the other hand, felt calmer after seeing Nadira start to recover. He knew that he had to stay strong for Nayla and Joen, but he also wouldn't abandon Nadira. He would always be there to support her, as a loyal friend.***Nayla felt a little strange that her two close people seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Nayla decided to invite Michael and Nadira to her house for dinner. She wanted to spend time with her sister and her best friend, and strengthen their relationship.Nayla immediately typed a message to Nadira and Michael.“Com

Michael bowed his head, feeling ashamed and guilty. “I thought Nadira was you. I was very drunk, and I kissed Nadira. That night, we... we spent the night together.”Nayla felt her chest tighten at Michael's confession. She turned to Nadira, her eyes full of questions.“Nadira, what really happened?” she asked in a shaky voice.Nadira tried to compose herself before answering. “Sis, I... I know it was wrong. But I love Michael very much. I've always loved him. That night, I just wanted to feel his love, even if only for a moment.”Nayla was silent for a moment, trying to digest everything she had just heard. After a while, she looked at Michael with eyes full of sadness. “Michael, you know that this is a very serious matter. You must take responsibility for what you have done.”“My sister, not being a healthy woman, you don't have the, uhm, to me-” Nayla was at a loss for words.Mic

Nayla nodded, then let out a long breath. “Yes, Michael is donating blood inside. I... I feel so helpless. I want to help, but...”Zavier looked at Nayla with concern. “You did your best. Didn't you do everything for her all this time?”Nayla realized that her marriage also stemmed from Nadira's need for treatment. Add to that her father's debt and it was a continuous story.“Sometimes we have to accept that not everything is in our control.” Zavier's words sounded flat.Nayla looked down, holding back the tears that began to well up in her eyes. “I'm just afraid of losing her, Zavier. After everything that happened, I can't afford to lose anyone I care about again. I only have one brother and I've given all my life to him.”Zavier sat beside her and took Nayla's hand gently. “We won't let that happen. Nadira will be fine. And you have to take care of yourself too, Nayla.”Nayla loo

“My one message, this man, will hurt you again. At that time, I probably won't be there to protect you like I've foolishly done for the past six years.”“Yuck!” Michael threw his saliva mixed with dar*h onto the floor.Nayla looked at Michael with tear-filled eyes, feeling devastated by the situation. “Michael, I... I just want you to be happy, but I also have to protect Joen and myself.”Michael nodded and stepped out of the room. Once he was out of the house, Zavier closed the bedroom door gently and turned to Nayla. “Are you alright?”Nayla nodded, although her face looked scarred and inert. “Yes, I'm fine. But this is all very difficult.”Zavier approached Nayla and hugged her gently, trying to give her the support she needed. “I will always be here for you. We'll get through this together.”Zavier felt angry, because in the past, even though he had forced Nayla into

Zavier's words echoed in Nayla's ears, hitting her like an unexpected storm. Her entire body froze, and her eyes widened in disbelief. “How... how did you know?” she whispered in an almost inaudible voice.Zavier looked down, as if trying to contain his own emotions. “I got a lead from the DNA lab. Ever since Fernando and Joen's traits have been swirling around in my head, I've felt that something wasn't right. A lot of things didn't make sense, and I finally decided to find out for myself. After I dug deeper, I found out that Joen's DNA report had been manipulated. Actually, Joen's DNA matches with you and with me, not with whoever has been mentioned so far.”Nayla felt her whole body weaken, as if the world around her was beginning to collapse. All the secrets she had been hiding so tightly were suddenly revealed, and the fear she had been harboring flowed freely, making her feel completely helpless. “But... but, Zavier... that report...
