Chapter 1 The Woman of His Past

CLAIRE"What's wrong babe?" I raised my voice when I heard the sound of something falling from the bathroom. I was currently on bedrest on the advice of the doctor. Considering that in my sixth month of pregnancy, there were premature contractions. So I can't move freely for now. And hearing that loud and sudden sound made me panic. I was afraid something would happen to Charles, my husband."Charlie?" This was the second call because he didn't answer. I was honestly starting to worry that he had fallen in the bathroom. It was because he hadn't slept well in the past few days. So hearing that, I felt like jumping out of bed. "Babe? If you're okay, please give me an answer," I said, trying to sound a little louder. This time there was the sound of the door opening. Fortunately after that, Charles' face came into view. "Oh thank Godness." I stroked my chest. "What happened inside? Did you fall?""No," he replied, coldly. I furrowed my brows. "Then what was that about? Oh my bad,

Chapter 2 He Brought A Snake Home

CLAIREWait, wait, wait. Didn't I hear him wrong? Charles is bringing his pregnant best friend home? To our home? And she even has a special nickname for him? Chaz?“I don't know if you have a female best friend, Charlie,” I said.“Now you know,” answered Charles."This isn't right, Charlie," I said then. Clutching my waist and belly, I stepped out the door. "Why did you bring her here? She doesn't have a house?""I just–""Chaz, I don't think I'm welcome by your wife." The woman wiped her eyes where there weren't even any tears. She also made a sad expression and looked down as if I was evil. Hello, I mean, who wouldn't be surprised? My husband said goodbye to me but came back with another woman who was pregnant too! Who wouldn't be shocked if they were me?"Claire! Don't be rude to Eva. I brought her here because she was kicked out by her boyfriend. She was cheated on and now has no one to go home to. So she contacted me and I offered her a temporary place to stay.""And it's in

Chapter 3 Bitter

CLAIREI tried to act normal but my feelings couldn't lie. I loved Charles and that's why it hurt so much to see him prioritize his best friend over his own wife. I still remember what Charles said, that his best friend in his life was very important. But I never thought that the best friend he was referring to was a woman, who was also pregnant. And I never knew that he would choose his best friend over his wife who was always there for him. In my mind, the only woman Charles cared about after marriage was me. But I was wrong, Charles still preferred his best friend. What should I do to make Charles prioritize me again? I want to be his first and foremost again. Because I'm his wife and because I'm pregnant with his child. Do I have to... oh my gosh, why is this? Why does my belly suddenly feel like it's being stabbed?I couldn't walk anymore. My body collapsed to the floor. And when I looked down, I saw blood dripping from my leg. Oh God! This is bad. I had to call Charles t

Chapter 4 Same Person at Different Times

CLAIREHe was Matthew Alaric Kingsley, the man I had rejected in high school because I loved Charles more back then.And now, he reappeared. Unbidden and suddenly in front of me, helping me."What's going on with you, Claire?"That deep voice entered my ears like a high-speed train that unceremoniously woke me up from the dark, lightless room. Then his eyes descended to watch my belly. "Are you pregnant?"I shook my head weakly. "I used to be. But not anymore."His eyes widened. Followed by the two arms that suddenly lifted my body. "I'm taking you back to your room. Where is it?"This is the difference between Matthew and Charles. Matthew would do something first while Charles would choose to ask first. And unfortunately I'm the type who likes to be asked and then given attention. So what Matthew does seems too sudden to me and sometimes I don't like that sudden change. And that was one of the things that made me feel uncomfortable and reject him.I did swallow my own bitter pill.

Chapter 5 Toxic Relationship

CLAIREAs I opened my eyes, I saw Matthew holding Charles' hand in the air. His eagle-sharp eyes stared at Charles like his prey. "I can just as easily destroy Ashford Group as destroy your last name."Charles laughed. He then looked at me. That soft looking face, anyone if they saw it, would definitely think that he was a good guy, in fact he was very cruel. "Wait, have we met before?" Charles asked in a condescending tone."Matthew Alaric Kingsley," Matthew replied firmly, not flinching in the slightest."Matthew who was once rejected by Claire? Ah, I remember you. You're just the kid who used to get a scholarship to continue high school." Charles then dismissed Matthew's hand. He chuckled mockingly. As for Matthew, he looked very calm. It was as if Charles' words didn't bother him at all.In fact, what Charles said was the truth. Matthew was indeed a child who went to school on a scholarship because I heard he came from a family that was quite difficult. But that doesn't mean it

Chapter 6 He Saw Me Crying in My Room

CLAIREI chuckled as I pushed Matthew after gathering my strength. "You're joking! You think that's the best solution?"Matthew sighed softly as he picked up his handkerchief. "Yes. Breaking up with someone who can't appreciate you is worth it.""Say I do, then why should I marry you?"Matthew fell silent. I thought he’s loss for words, but it turned out his silence was to carry me then. I didn't rebel this time. I saved my strength, to throw more questions at him. And only after he put me safely on the bed, did I open my voice again. "What was your reason for giving that advice? Oh and also, why did you just show up again now?"I mean, where has he been all this time? Where was he when I needed help in the past? That's what's been running through my head ever since I saw him.I don't want to presume, but if Mattew really loved me and cared about me, he shouldn't have disappeared and only reappeared now. Because I don't think disappearing when there's a problem is good manners."I

Chapter 7 A Greater Woman Has Faith

CLAIRE"If what you say is true, then you'll definitely find a way, Matt. But I'm sorry, for now, don't do anything. I don't want the situation to get worse.""So you still want to stay with Charles?""Yes."But not to love him anymore. I did love Charles, but that was before. Before today. Before he brought Eva into our home. Before I lost my daughter. And before he chose to leave me to be with Eva.Although my love was great, I didn't want to be his second choice. I also didn't want to be one of the choices he was free to choose.I'm still confused, but that doesn't mean I will continue to build my love for Charles in order to be chosen. I can still think. My pride was hurt, which is why I tried to keep him from leaving.I just wanted to explain the misconception that Charles believed. I wanted him to understand that I wasn't having an affair with Matthew. So even if our relationship ended, I wasn't the one who caused it.Charles might forget that I was also an independent girl be

Chapter 8 Choose Your Poison Wisely

CLAIREI’m not stupid enough not to understand what Matthew means. I’m no longer a high school teenager who doesn’t get the hints he’s dropping. It’s just that the situation is completely different now. We’re no longer in the same boat. My boat and his are in different classes.And somehow that weighs on me. There are no expectations from him, but I feel a big responsibility and burden behind the feelings Matthew has placed on me. I feel indebted, unworthy, and I have to stop this before he ruins himself for loving me. I just don’t want Matthew to regret it later. That’s all.But it’s so hard to make someone see reason when they’re in love. Even though we know that love will hurt them, they choose to be stubborn.And clearly, it’s true that love is blind. I think that’s what’s happening to Matthew right now. “You don’t owe me an answer, Claire. I’m just expressing my feelings.” Matthew straightened his suit and stood up. “You need to find a woman who loves you back, Matt. And i

Chapter 9 Don’t Think You Can Save Me

CLAIREI laughed to myself. I know, I’m aware.But I’m the one who chose to stay. It’s not because of anything, but because I still want to carry out my revenge.I came into Charles’s life with so much. So when I leave, I won’t be leaving empty-handed either.There’s no such thing as a free lunch.“Maybe Charles will change if I become the woman he wants,” I muttered.Matthew chuckled softly. “What’s wrong?” I demanded. “Nothing. It’s just… it’s silly to change just to be chosen, Claire.”I clenched my fists and scowled. “I believe in the power of true love, Matt. By giving Charles this one night, by tomorrow his head will surely be clearer.” “I admire that you can still stay calm, Claire.”In reality, I was seething. I hated imagining what Charles and Eva were doing in the next room. I felt disgusted that I’d ever had a past with a man like Charles. It was truly embarrassing. But showing that I was bothered by his behavior would just make me look like an unsecure woman. Whereas

Chapter 10 The Mask That Hides the Pain

CLAIRE“Why do you think you need to say goodbye, Matt?”I’ve learned from the past. I don’t want to tell men why they should do something anymore. Because in the end, they’re never going to listen. Just like how I always told Charles. One moment he’d do it, but the next he’d forget. So for this serious issue, I want Matthew to think it through on his own. I want him to know why his actions hurt me in the past.“I thought it was better to leave without you knowing,” he said after a moment. His tone softened, and his gaze grew gentle.“Why?”“Because I hate goodbyes.”“I’m sorry, but I don’t understand.”Matt looked at my hand, which was still holding the end of his sleeve. He then let go and gently placed my hand on the bed. “If I left without saying goodbye, then there’s no such thing as a farewell, Claire.”So that’s how Matthew thought. Now I know, now I understand why he felt that was right. But to me, that’s actually a very cruel kind of farewell. Because one party is forced t
