Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Second Husband : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

Silas’s povI slowly woke up to the sound of beeping by my side as a sharp headache had me wincing to the side. I turned to see the white door as I looked up to see the white walls and the white ceiling. I wasn’t at home. I was in a hospital.A small sigh escaped my lips which had me crashing back down.What was the last thing that had happened?That was when it started rushing back to me. I was leaving the company when someone had shot me.What a terrible joke.Even with all my security, I was still at risk.I tried sitting up to wince at the pain before noticing someone sitting at the edge of the room by the window.It was Julian.He closed the book he was reading on his lap and smiled. “I see you’re awake.”I narrowed my eyes at him. How was he out of jail? The last time I had seen him, he was beaten and he was bleeding. But now he looked okay except for the bandages that were all over his body.“You… need help yourself,” I muttered as he shrugged.“That’s why I’m in the same hosp

Julian’s povI got out of the car with the officer as we got into the hospital.People stared and pointed at me as I turned to the officer.“With you by my side in your uniform, you’re not helping. They still think I’m a murderer.”“Very soon your name will be cleared. You shouldn’t worry about them. Now… what are you here for?”“I already told you in the car. To see my mother.”We got to the lobby as he halted in his steps and gave me a serious look.“If you’re lying to me and trying to run…”“Now why would I do that when my name is about to be cleared?”The hospital looked the same. Too white. Too quiet. Too cold. The whispers started as I looked around.But the stares didn’t matter. Not now. I was here to see my mother. She was all I needed.The nurse led us to her room as we entered to see she was awake.“Oh my god,” she gasped. “Jules.”It had been a long time since anyone had called me that.The court case had revealed that name, but hearing it from my mother broke me.I turned

Silas’s povI got to my feet slowly to look around the room as I felt dizzy. With what I had seen, I was starting to feel the toll of this case upon me.My hands were sweating and I was shaking. My chest felt very heavy. I had so much to say and so much to yell at. But to what, and to who? That was the question.I had just watched a murder in front of me. I don’t think that was classified as murder since he killed himself. It was more of a suicide. Watching his lifeless body laying in his pool of blood and brain matter broke me. Ken was gone. He was dead and there was no hope for him coming back.Why would he do such a thing? He could have been redeemed. He didn’t need to die.As the wardens dragged his body out, people were whispering, some were crying. The system had failed someone like him, some said, but that was just a lie. He was one of the people who had made the system and he had twisted the system to his advantage.Right now, his web of lies were so much they had caught hi

Silas’s povJulian scoffed. “Whatever.”She then nodded, then stared at the floor, like her words that were going to pour out were even going to get worse.“Now, at the time I had no idea he was even gay,” she started. “Everyone said it behind his back, but in that moment I didn’t see him to be gay. To me he was just Emery. He was just a guy who lived in that big house and had a lifestyle that was funded by his parents. But then, that night when it happened, I just…”“Mother, can you skip the whole thing? You’re creeping me out.”She laughed. “I understand. Anyway, we did it. We had sex. And then I didn’t even know how people got pregnant because I had not done it before. So after that night I left his room and washed up in my bathroom.”I felt my mouth go dry as I leaned back against the couch. I couldn’t believe that Emery had not told me this history. He kept so much to himself and just today alone I had learned about his real source of wealth and also learned about Julian being hi

Silas’s pov“Now now, let’s talk about this. We can fix this. You can’t just spring this on me.”He stared at me for a while before chuckling. It was dark.“Remember when I came to visit you at your hospital bed?” He said. “When I told you that I was going to give you divorce papers?”“I don’t remember that.” I shook my head.I shrugged. “Oh well, here we are now. I finally got the papers from a lawyer I hired. And those are the divorce papers, and I want you to sign it so that I’ll be out of your life.”But i shook my head. “We signed a contract.”“One which you violated over and over again. I can’t do this anymore with you. I have to be on my way.”“Please Julian…”“I’ll leave the documents with you,” he said with a stern look and a cold tone. “I hope a week will be enough for you to settle yourself and then sign the documents and send them over to me.”He walked past me as i held his arm.“Please wait. Let’s discuss it.”He shrugged me away from him.“There’s nothing to discuss. We
