All Chapters of The Affair Baby : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

“Ariel. Ariel.” I heard Blaine’s voice.“No,” I shook my head beneath him, my fingers clinging to his now like claws. I did not want to hear anymore, I did not want to be aware of his death. It was better we both just passed quietly.“It has stopped moving,” he said. “Huh?” my eyes snapped open, and I was staring into gray eyes.“Can’t you hear it?” His eyes were wide, observant. “It has not moved in seconds. I have felt in on my back for seconds now.”“Huh?” I said again, feeling stupid. “There’s no more pressure. Lisen, can you hear any more sounds?”I widened my eyes and looked past him, at the roof of my car that was now touching his head. “Oh.” I said quietly at first, then the pitch of my voice began to increase as I repeated the words again and again, not believing I was not going to die after all.“Do you think the thing knocked, and stopped working?”“I don’t know,” Blaine responded, looking around. “Maybe cars like these are harder to crush.”“We have to get out. We have

I knew it took a lot of effort for him as I watched Blaine turn his head so he could stare at me, but he did it. His eyes looked drowsy and unfocused, and his brow was wet with sweat, but his finger in mine caressed the pendant and his head collapsed again.I told him about the comment I heard from one of his family members that afternoon, and how my mother stepped out to get some things I might need that night but never came back. I described the taste of the liquid in the bottle Ophelia handed to me, and how white the face of the maid who walked into us was.Then I told him how the last thing I remembered that night was staring into Kan’s face. Even as I spoke, I knew the man on top of me was slipping away, but he waited till the end, and when I stopped speaking I was hit by the silence in the car.I was already weeping from having to recount the story and relive that horrible day, but I wept harder now. I could not dare move or touch him even, but I knew Blaine was gone as he s

I was sitting up on the hospital bed, thinking about how many times I have been in a hospital in the two weeks I had returned.This had to end. This had to end really quickly.“Why did you run off with Tucker?” Kan said, turning around from the window he had been looking out from.“I was running AWAY from Blaine,” I said quietly. Kan had insisted I stay in the hospital for twenty-four hours because he had to be sure I was fine in the case I had any internal injuries that had been overlooked.But if we were going to just fight. We had better just go home. “The guards said you got into an argument. Why did you drive off without security, Ariel?” Kan said, his face twisted in pain, “Why did you drive off with HIM?”“If I had not been driving that car, I would have been dead,” I said, staring at him. “You see that man in the E. R now, that would have been me.” “What?”“The car that hit us slammed into the side of the car I usually sat in, not the driver’s,” I said, and Kan finally move

I was watching Kan in bewilderment. Did I cause this? I desperately wanted to disconnect Oliver’s association with Tuckers because that was the only way to keep him safe till Ophelia was no longer a threat. But as I watched Kan now, I wondered if he would turn out to be a bigger threat than all those enemies I feared. He had been powerful enough to protect me and my son all this time, but if he became an enemy, he could be vicious and formidable. I had been his wife for almost two years, so I should know. I knew how much darkness he had in him, and also knew just how much power he possessed to back that up, and I doubted Blaine could protect me from him. If he had been unable to protect me from his wife and family, Kan may be too big for him.But now that Blaine knew the truth, there was no way he would stay away from me anymore like Kan wanted. We had a child who he might just meet, and then he would have to visit him all the time.Kan and I were watching ourselves now, and he

It healed something in me to see blood drain out of Ophelia’s face, and how she could not move even as I walked past her.I touched the cold metal that was the door handle and inhaled before I pushed the door open and walked into the ward. Blaine covered the entirety of the bed as he lay there.I stood watching him for a few seconds with his eyes closed, the oxygen mask gone from his face, machine beeping, before I continued walking and his eyes opened when I stopped by the bed.Those gray eyes made me shiver all the way to my toes, and I had a mind to run out of the room and out of the country and never look back.“So you pretended to pass out yesterday,” I said. He squinted up at me in confusion. “Because how are you up and causing a riot so soon?” I said quietly as I realized for the first time that Oliver had his size and boisterous energy. How had I not noticed that since?He was smiling now. “I told you I was strong.” he raised his hand to flex his arm, and I grimaced to see
