All Chapters of Two Loves, One Destiny: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jake One of the most impulsive decisions I ever made was divorcing Kiara. The second was getting involved with her sister. The third was marrying Irina. We had just gotten married in secret. I managed to get a last-minute appointment at the civil registry so we could get married before the meeting where Kiara and Thomas would be present. I wanted to rub it in Kiara’s face, show her that it hadn’t been hard for me to move on, just as it hadn’t been hard for her. I wanted to prove that I didn’t suffer. That it didn’t hurt. That I didn’t care about what she had done, or the fact that she was pregnant with my brother’s children. But for some reason, deep down, it didn’t feel right. The meeting was about to start. I was late, but when I walked into the office, Kiara was already there. Alone. Without Thomas hovering around her. When Thomas came in and sat beside her, I felt such rage that I couldn’t stop myself from telling them that Irina and I were planning to have a baby. Si

Jake When that intrusive question escaped my lips, Kiara stiffened. I waited for her to turn and face me, but she didn’t. Her breathing quickened, sharper than before. A second later, she kept walking toward the exit. She couldn’t bear being in the same room as me, and honestly, I couldn’t stand her either. Maybe she couldn’t confront the guilt of what she did to me. She slept with my brother. She got pregnant. With twins. If anyone had to feel uncomfortable and leave the house, it should’ve been her. Not me. This house wasn’t for traitors like her and Thomas, but Mom made the mistake of welcoming them. In some twisted way, my mother chose to forgive Thomas for what he did, but not me, not for separating from Kiara, and not for getting involved with Irina. But I didn’t do anything wrong. I only did what they had already done to me after they both betrayed me. Before that, my loyalty to Kiara had always been spotless. I never betrayed her. I never looked at another woman. I never

JakeMom said the words, and for a second, everything inside me froze.A knot tightened in my chest, and Kiara’s pain flashed in my mind.Mom watched me, and I quickly replaced my expression of surprise with a calm one. I didn’t want her to think this affected me, because it didn’t. Whatever happened to Kiara was none of my concern. I didn’t care.Yet the feeling was still there.I decided to ignore it.“So, will they be moving here soon?” I turned my back on her.“Yes. Until they find a house suitable for them. It needs to be a spacious house for my grandchildren.”I turned around.“Don’t call them that,” I snapped.Mom stayed calm, but narrowed her eyes.“They are my grandchildren, Jake. And whether you like it or not, they are your nephews.”I let out a humorless laugh.“I don’t have a brother.”“When will you stop being so stubborn? Both of you, because your brother is just like you. You’re both stubborn and don’t care about family.”“That’s not it. It’s the betrayal. He didn’t ca

KiaraJake stopped the car and got out. His face showed confusion and annoyance.“What the hell are you doing? Move. I need to park the car,” he said in a harsh tone.Thomas came to my side.“Do you think what you’re doing is funny?” I accused.Irina also got out of the car. Her red heels clicked against the ground. They matched the red lipstick she always wore.“What are you talking about?” Jake asked. His gaze dropped from my eyes to my belly.I immediately felt the urge to cover my stomach so he wouldn’t see it. It wasn’t anything Jake didn’t already know, but I wanted to protect the babies from him.What he had done was in bad taste. Sending that kind of threatening and insensitive message said everything about the type of people he and Irina were. They enjoyed seeing me suffer. They enjoyed hurting me, and they wanted us out of the city so they could keep everything.“Jake, what’s going on?” Irina asked, pretending to be innocent.“Don’t play the little saint because that role doe

Jake I walked past Kiara and Thomas, holding Irina’s hand. What nonsense. Kiara is trying to drag me into some confusing game of senseless accusations. I could be many terrible things, but I would never send a text message about a baby’s health issues. As we walked toward the house, leaving Kiara and Thomas behind, I couldn’t help thinking about the message. I didn’t know if they made it up themselves or what. It wouldn’t surprise me if Thomas planned something that low just to make our mother angry with me and cause problems for me at the company. But I had a strange feeling in my chest that I couldn’t shake. Something inside me was pushing me to find out what was going on with the baby. Whether it was true or not. I wasn’t sure if my mother knew that information. Asking her wasn’t a good option either. Asking would expose me. It would make her think that I cared about Kiara. I didn’t care. I was just curious. Mom was resting on the couch and smiled when she saw me walk in, b
