Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Wrong Wife for Mr Whitmore: Pregnant, Divorced, Reclaime: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

VIVI’S POINT OF VIEW.The second the door shut behind Felix, a kind of silence enveloped the room. My eye fluttered shut as I tried not to drown in the loudness of the eerie silence. All I could hear was nothing, my heart beat slowly as the pores of my skin soaked it up.I felt lonely.I stared at the closed door for a long moment, my fingers tightening unconsciously around the ultrasound pictures yet again as they rested against my lap. My baby’s tiny form stared back at me from the glossy black and white image.‘Healthy heartbeat.’ The words echoed yet again in my head. I could feel it grow inside me with each passing second, and that was the only thing that granted me strength. Knowing Elias would probably be with Bianca now, listening to her, letting her hold him, touch him…The images plagued my mind untill it hurt to even have a brain for thinking, untill my chest hurt physically from it. Elias should have been there. I shouldn’t be divorced right now. My baby should still have

VIVI’S POINT OF VIEW.I shouldn’t have left the house that night. Over the past three days, Felix has treated me like a breakable piece. I wasn’t allowed to do anything on my own. Maria acted like a constant shadow, walking everywhere with me and only retiring when I was about to sleep.One thing I noticed since being here was I never caught a glimpse of Felix. Not even once. The house still had that lonely, eerie feel. Even when I closed my eyes to sleep, I felt the ghost of someone’s hand on my head, followed by a low whisper of words I couldn’t place.That night, I’d just had my dinner. The only thing I could get down was noodles; every other thing left me feeling nauseous. So Maria prepared a bowl of beef noodles. Just as I was about to head to bed, my phone dinged with a text. I raced towards it, my heart slamming against my ribs. I thought it was Felix. Since I never saw him, he always sent word via text or Maria.Every night, he sent texts, reassuring me he was alright and wou

FELIX’S POINT OF VIEW.The first thing I saw was the speedometer; its wing ticking higher and higher as the trees, cars, and everything else passed in a blur. I held onto the wheel for dear life; the only thing on my mind….Genevieve.Genevieve is inside an out-of-control moving, speeding car that’s headed for a cliff. That was more than enough for me to disregard my safety and every traffic law. I saw the cop cars racing behind me in my peripheral vision the second I went past the speed limit, but I didn’t care.I didn’t slow down.‘I’m on my way.’ I made a promise to her; I won’t break it. I won’t fail again… no… one time is enough.My grip tightened around the wheel as Genevieve’s location blinked violently across the tracking device embedded into the dashboard of my Audi. I gritted my teeth at the sight. It’s fast….too fucking fast. Shit!Rainwater from earlier still stained the road up ahead, reflecting the flashing police lights in streaks of red and blue. The sound of helicopt

GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEWFor a moment, my entire world collapsed. One second ago, I was inside that car, the wind blowing through my hair, clutching my belly while I muffled goodbyes to my baby, Elias, and any life I could have had if things were different years ago, when all of a sudden, I saw it…them.Their cars matched the speed of mine on either side as Elias held a hand to me, and Felix stared at me with a look that left my stomach feeling like I’d swallowed lead.‘Trust us.’ That’s what he said; so I did. I swallowed the terror that shot through me, grabbed Elias’ hand, and prayed everything would be okay.The night cold air bit away at my skin as he grabbed my hand and pulled me into his car through the partially opened door; the sound of him slamming it shut echoed in my ear through the sharp ringing.“Genevieve, stay with me.” I heard him mutter, his left hand wrapped around my midsection, his other hand on the wheel. My eyes were shut tight, my heart beat too fast as my che

GENEVIEVE’S POINT OF VIEW.I watched with a racing heart and bile up my throat as four nurses and three doctors wheeled a very unconscious Felix into the bustling hospital. The loud howl of wind from a place I couldn’t recognize didn’t stop echoing in my ears as a strange chill enveloped me.My tears wouldn’t stop falling, nor did my grip on his limp hand let up. I didn't understand the panic that swallowed me.I didn’t understand why a strange terror bled into my heart at the thought of him dying. Maybe this is because he and I could have become friends? Or maybe this is just because he risked his life to save mine…. It's probably that.But I couldn’t shake it off. The nurse to my left gave me a polite smile as the others focused on the oxygen pump pressed to his nose as she said;“Miss, please wait out here so we can do our job.”“No…I need to be with him…please.” Bile climbed my throat at the thought of abandoning him.For some reason, it felt like it would be the last time I….no…
