All Chapters of My Husband's Unwanted Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alice’s POV“What do you think you’re doing?” David spat, coming closer. “Who do you think you are, kissing my wife?”“First of all, David, she isn’t your wife anymore,” Adam retorted, stepping between David and I. “And secondly, we didn’t kiss. Why don’t you come down off of all that testosterone and try acting like you aren’t a jealous imbecile?”“I know what I saw!” he spat, stopping only feet away. “And you’ve no right to touch what is mine.”“And you have no claim over her, or her life, now,” Adam shot back. “Why don’t you just go back to your serpent of a mistress and leave Alice alone?”“Oh, so suddenly you’re her protector?!”“Shut up!” I called out, overwhelmed by their shouting. “Just shut up, both of you. Firstly, Adam is right. You have no business being jealous or coming here to harass me, David. What are you even doing here? Are you stalking me?”“I have every right to protect you,” he hissed, glaring at Adam. “And your little display here is obviously intended to make m

Alice’s POV“That’s true,” the doctor assured, turning to David. “Sirs… please leave me to my patient before I call security and have you escorted from the building.”“If you think you can get rid of me-!” David began but Adam sighed, pushing past him to leave.“Let’s go, he insisted, holding the door open for David. “You can’t expect to stomp your feet and whine to get what you want.”“Shut up,” David grumbled, the doctor glaring at him now.“Sir, this is the last time that I’ll ask you to leave…”David glared at me now before turning and leaving the room, following Adam. Once it was just I, the doctor, and the nurse, I felt much better.“So,” the doctor began, smiling down at me. “Is he the father?”“I’m not required to answer that,” I replied, a bit too harshly. “S-sorry…”“No, no… it’s okay,” the doctor explained, sitting on the stool next to the bed. “Well, Miss McCutchen, the impact to your stomach was pretty severe. It almost detached the fetus from your uterus entirely. You’re

David’s POVShe wasn’t going to keep my child from me. I was sure of that. She was stubborn, deceitful, a liar, and a pathetic woman who was desperately trying to make me jealous. Did she really think this would bring me back to her? Did she seriously think this was going to work? Somewhere, deep inside, I knew she was up to something. Somewhere, somehow, I knew she was pregnant.I was furious, weaving in and out of traffic until I got to the suburban and gated community that I had once shared with Alice. Lily would be waiting for me at home. Was it our home? Alice lingered everywhere and now, she would be a part of our lives permanently. She was carrying my child, my future heir. What about Lily and our children? Surely we would have children together.The thought of children made me smile, and I caught myself in the rear-view mirror grinning. Did I want to be a dad? Of course I did, but with Alice as the mother? No, no I never wanted her. I want Lily. I want us to build a family. Ho

Arlington’s POVAfter hearing Alice’s story about what happened, and why she was in the hospital, my heart sank. I had been hiding for far too long. I had been a coward, masking my feelings for years and now Alice and her child were in danger. I was a coward and that is what sickened me the most.I needed to quietly take Alice away, without causing too much trouble. She needed safety, surety, and warmth, something she hadn’t gotten during her rocky and miserable excuse of a marriage. She needed a respite, but I also knew Alice very well. She needed to fight for herself and for her child. That was something she made clear during our conversation.“So, we can start with a restraining order,” I suggested, looking over the notes I’d taken on my phone. “He clearly assaulted you. I’ll talk to the doorman and staff at the Chateau Hotel. There will be footage.”“Yes, but don’t you think that will cause more drama? More problems?”“It isn’t a question of drama, my Alice,” I smiled, seeing the

Alice’s POVThat day didn’t get much better. I wanted to relax, read up on some periodicals, recent case rulings, and listen to music but that didn’t happen. After the fiasco of the morning, the afternoon was wonderful. After talking to the nurse that morning, dismissing all three men, Arlington returned, eager to update me on the restraining order.“I’ve just gotten off the phone with Chris, and the judge, and the judge has signed off on the order,” he explained. “So, we’ll serve David papers and take it from there.”“Truly?” I asked, feeling relieved that he couldn’t come near me. However, Lily might have been incompetent but she still gave me pause.“Yes, absolutely,” Arlington winked. “Now, I’m going to the office to work but I will visit again after work, okay?”“I… okay,” I nodded, not wanting to seem rude.That afternoon, after lunch, I did get a text from Adam that cheered me up.Adam: Your Grandpa made it home. New nurse is firm – giving the old man a run for his money. I’ll
