Semua Bab Heart of a Betrayed Wife: Bab 191 - Bab 200

“Is he your baby?”. I asked her, and immediately I did, she coughed, making the baby lying in her arms wake up and stare around the living room cluelessly. “Did you see any resemblance?”. Kai wrapped his arms around his abdomen as he asked me. I knew he was being sarcastic with me, but I did not mind him and waited for Adira to be the one who replied to me, and to ease my curiosity. “No. He is not mine. He belongs to someone else”. She explained to me, and I nodded at her, not asking her any further questions about the child. I went straight to the point and asked her, “Why did you want us to meet? Is there something important you wanted to talk to me about that could not be discussed through a phone call?”. I wanted to know. But, I did not regret coming over. All these years, the little girl from 18 years ago was in a close reach. But, I failed to recognize her until now. Of course, I wanted to get to know her more. Was that selfish of me?She stared at Kai, before returning

Kai and I remained sitting as we waited for the police officer to investigate the matter. Since he refused to let me leave the baby with them in the police station, I explained to him what happened hours ago with the elderly woman, whom I had mentioned the baby belonged to. I told him about the ambulance, and fortunately, I remembered the plate number on the ambulance and also told him about it. Right now, we were waiting for an update from him, so that after he confirmed what I had said, I would give him the baby and be on my way back home with Kai. It was getting late, and I needed to refresh and clear my mind because of the stuff which happened today. I thought Mrs Cassandra only hated me, hence she behaved cruelly. But recently, after understanding what her words of that day meant, I was restless and could not help but think that she might be a potential murderer. Thinking about that always gave me goosebumps and chills. It was a shocking revelation. But, I have no clue abo

“Want some?”. I asked Kai as I offered him some of the cookies. My voice was not clear, because of the handful of cookies in my mouth. He shook his head at me, and I didn't see any reason to pester him. So I kept on eating, and later left the plate of cookies on the table and carried the glass of juice instead, in order to sweeten my mouth. While I drank the juice, I took out my cell phone from my pajamas' shirt’s pocket and began to operate it, scrolling down my social media account, but never expecting that I would witness something which made me lose balance on the sofa that I was sitting on. My eyes widened in shock, and I had to shut them tightly and open them back, only for me to see the same thing. “What's wrong?”. Kai asked, after noticing the expression on my face. Rather than reply to him, I kept my cell phone aside on the sofa and returned the glass of juice on the table, as I hurried ahead and grabbed the remote from the remote stand. “What's wrong?

“What did I just hear you say?”. I asked him, baffled. “Wh- what did I say?”. He stuttered as he asked me.“You called my mother your sister. Or, didn't you?”. I asked him.For a few seconds, seeing him become speechless, I thought that I had caught him. I thought that I had somewhat uncovered a secret that he was hiding from me. But…“It was a slip of a tongue. I was so angry at Cassandra and I ended up making a mistake”. He admitted while scratching the back of his head, but I knew that he was lying. I could tell. I was able to see it in his eyes.He was hiding something from me.And by the look of it, it was a deep secret that he was hiding from me. “Okay”. I said, pretending to believe his lies. But, it was far from over. Somehow, my mind drifted to that picture which he had hidden from me back at the camp when I almost saw it. His suspicious behavior that night. I have not forgotten about it. Since he didn't want to tell me the truth himself, I would have no other choice

Sooner than expected, morning time arrived, and here I was, inside Nathan's car. He was driving to the hospital to retrieve his father's body for burial. I was excited about the burial part, so that Nathan could then focus on the most important thing. Claiming all that was ours. We arrived at the hospital, and other cars stopped behind us. Nathan and the others had gotten into the hospital, but I remained in the car, because Nathan told me to. And I? I did not bother to argue about going with him, because actually, I did not want to go in there with him. I had confirmed that the old bastard was dead. So, what the heck am I leaving the car for? My cell phone suddenly rang, and seeing that it was my mother, I contemplated a little before I answered her call. “Hello mom”. I said to her. “You are aware he's dead, right?”. She asked me, not even asking me how I was doing. At least, she should have tried to act as if she cared about me. “I know. So?”. I asked her. “I want to ask
