All Chapters of Two Loves, One Destiny: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Kiara“What is this, Jake?” I asked, staring at him.Jake went silent. A cold, painful, shattering silence.“Answer me, Jake.” I said, slamming the folder down on the desk.He walked around the desk, putting distance between us, facing me head-on. The desk was the only thing separating us, but it felt like an endless gap.“This is a joke, right?”“It’s not,” he said quickly, without looking away. He looked even more serious than before.My heart clenched in my chest, and nausea hit me. Not from the pregnancy, from the situation.“So you’re telling me you want a divorce?” I smiled weakly, hoping it was a joke.“That’s exactly what I’m saying.”My mouth opened to speak, but no words came out. A storm of emotions crashed through me. I looked at my husband —the man I loved— but he wasn’t looking at me with love anymore. Not at all.What happened? What changed?“I want an explanation, Jake.”“Do you really want one?” he raised his eyebrows.“I don’t understand anything. Does this have to d

Kiara Jake’s call came as soon as I expected. “I’ll be waiting for you at my house at 10 a.m. to end this bond. We’ll do it in front of the pack.” I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want to face the humiliation of my ex-husband, but I had to. My flight was leaving that afternoon. I needed to get away from this city. There was nothing left for me here.

Jake hadn’t taken those things from me, but I didn’t want to remain part of that world. Not anymore. In Connecticut, I would have to start over. A new life, far from the luxuries I had been used to. I took a taxi to Jake’s house because I no longer had my driver. He was on Jake’s payroll, and Jake was no longer going to pay him for me. When I arri

KiaraI don’t know how Thomas convinced me to go visit his mother. By the time I wanted to back out of my decision, we had already boarded a flight back to the city. I swore I’d never return, and I didn’t keep my word.“It’s going to be a pleasant visit with my mother. We’ll have lunch with her and go straight back to the hotel,” Thomas assured me.Months had passed since I left the city, and during that time, Thomas had become a true friend. One night of weakness, he and I kissed, and that’s how our love story began. I forgot about his brother, Jake. I forgot about the love story we once had.But my babies reminded me he left his mark. Still, Thomas wanted to help raise them and be the father Jake never was.I looked out the car window. The houses slowly disappeared behind us. The tall black gates appeared in the distance, coming into view. We had arrived at Helena’s house, his mother. My mother-in-law.I didn’t know how she’d react to seeing her youngest son with his older brother’s
