All Chapters of The Knot of Marriage: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— “You and... Athalia were supposed to have a baby?” I asked, deliberately avoiding his gaze.I didn’t want to see the painful truth—if there was one. Just the thought made my chest tighten."Who told you? Ms. Martin?" His tone seemed different."No. No. It's her friend, Christine.""Is there anything she told you other than that?""Nothing," I looked at him and he's staring at me as if he's reading my every move—as if he’s waiting for more."Athalia immediately pulled her to leave," I added."Do you want

—ALORA EUNICE’S POV— "Alora Eunice," he said, his voice low… unusually serious."Hm?" I blinked up at him, watching as he crossed the room with a steady, unreadable expression. “Are… are you mad at me?” My voice was soft, half-laced with drowsiness."No," he replied flatly but something about the way he stood told a different story.He stopped in front of me. “Can you stand up?”I frowned. “I just want to sleep,” I murmured, sinking deeper into the couch, my head resting against the backrest. From the corner of my eye, I caught Cheska watching me.

—ROME ARCHILLUS’ POV—My car almost flew just to get there as soon as possible.Loud music, a chaotic place, drunken people, and different mixes of cigars and alcohol. I hate the place. I found Alora Eunice with Cheska and didn’t see the man who harassed my wife. Where’s that f*cking bastard?“Alora Eunice,” I scanned her whole body and was irritated because it’s too revealing to look at. Not that I am not allowing her to wear that kind of clothes but it must be for my eyes only.
