All Chapters of Bastard Ex, Your Ex Wife is Married To Her Brother: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ANAYA“Now this is news. I love to hear!” My mother in law pulled me into a hug as she smiled excitedly at the news we had just delivered.“It's about time! I hope it's a son, otherwise this whole celebration would be a total waste!” My father in law, Gabriel Whitmore, said. “Dad, don't make my wife uncomfortable. It doesn't matter if the baby will be a girl or a boy, we will love either with everything we have.” Nash held my hand with longing in his eyes that made my heart flutter. They had visited us the following day just after telling them the news. Nash was right. They were over the moon, although his father couldn't stop talking about it being a son like I was God. “Look at you two looking all lovely!” Angela smiled with happiness, which I'm pretty sure had more to do with the way the shares of the company would grow now that Whitmore Group had an heir on the way. Many shareholders were starting to feel a little uneasy even after my conference. However, for some reason, no on

ISAAC “I thought I'd die without seeing you again!” Granny complained as she looked at Anaya, who sat across from her with a smile on her face. “Granny! How can you surely think of such a thing? I come here as often as I can.” Anaya softly reached over the table, but Granny, being the drama Queen she is, removed her hand with an attitude like a toddler sulking. Anaya looked excruciatingly beautiful in her pink dress with white flower patterns and her red hair tied in a neat bun. I prefer it falling over her shoulders, but she is a queen and can do whatever the hell she wants with her hair. She looked a little different today, I'd been searching for the cause without giving too much away, but I couldn’t seem to pinpoint it. Maybe the feeling of the freedom that was awaiting her was what made her glow. “Those are just words! You haven't been here in over a month!” Granny protested, and I noticed Anaya's features softened with guilt, but I didn't intervene. She was safe. Granny was

ISAACI barely remember how I got here. One moment I was in Granny’s house, listening to Anaya talk about that piece of shit and how she would stay so her child doesn't grow up with separate parents and the next… I was standing in Jace’s bar, drowning what was left of my sanity in whiskey.“I raised you. You turned out fine, I'll help you with the baby too.” I said to her, but she shook her head and said it wasn't my responsibility. She said she was pregnant.Pregnant.With his child. The word echoed in my head, sharp and cruel. Like a sledgehammer constantly hitting against my brain. The pain I was feeling inside was clawing at my insides, and I needed it to quiet down. I needed something....to hit someone....anything!I thought I was prepared for anything, but the image of her carrying Nash’s child hit me like a fucking bullet. It wasn’t jealousy, it was pure, unfiltered rage.Rage that she chose him.Rage that she defended him.Rage that the bastard who broke her, who buried her

ANAYA The knob twisted, and I watched it with hesitation. I looked back at Hellen, kneeling on the floor and turned to open the door door so Angela wouldn't step foot inside. My mother inlaw looked elegantly put together in a beautiful maroon dress with her black hair falling in waves. She was beautiful. Even at her age, there was no denying it. I just wished her insides matched her outward appearance. “There you are!” She announced, looking me up and down. “I thought you ran away or something! The guests are already here. Why are you not out there?” She asked. “I was just doing final touches. i'll be walking downstairs shortly.” I gave her a smile, and she watched me, her eyes falling on Jessica and then on the door knob.“You look shaken. Is everything alright?” She asked, and I nodded. “Yes, mum. I'm just a little nervous.” That earned me a smile as she pulled me into a hug. “You’ll be fine. Is anyone from your family coming?” She asked, and my heart clenched painfully at the

ANAYA “Ladies and gentlemen,” my mother inlaw spoke into the microphone with excitement, “ You must have wondered why we invited you tonight without telling you the details. We wanted to keep the news for the right moment, and this is the right moment!” Gasps and murmurs filled the room as she turned and gestured toward Nash and me. My heart raced in my chest as she smiled.“My son and his beautiful wife are expecting their first child. The heir to the Whitmore group. A son that will take after the father's legacy! You can rest easy investors, and you will enjoy the fruit of your sacrifice for generations to come!” She raised her glass. “To the Whitmore heir.” She said, and everyone responded in a chorus,“To the Whitmore heir!”I held the glass of water to my lips and smiled as Nash kissed my cheek.While we made our way downstairs, I turned and asked him, “Nash, that wasn’t right. I don't want our child to be used like a pawn in the game!” “No one is using our baby, Anaya. Mum wa
