Semua Bab My Husband Chose His Ex When I Was pregnant: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Serena’s povI sat there frozen while Damian held another woman in his arms.The sales assistant still had one hand around me to steady me, but I barely felt it.Everything around me sounded distant because I could only see my husband. I could only see my husband.Damian’s head was lowered slightly toward her like he had forgotten the rest of the world existed, like I did not exist.My chest hurt badly.“Ma’am,” the sales assistant beside me said softly. “Are you alright?”I blinked quickly.My eyes burned with tears that wanted to spill but I held it back.“Yes,” I whispered automatically.But my voice shook.The assistant looked worried as she helped me stand properly again. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. Mr. Cole moved too quickly.”I swallowed hard and looked away before the tears in my eyes could fall.One of the workers bent down to pick them up while another whispered something under her breath. I heard the snicker as they talked.“She’s pregnant too.”“Did you see how he ran to the ot

Serena’s povThings felt different after the dinner with Liliana.I noticed how Damian became quieter around me afterward.He still kissed my forehead before leaving for work every morning.He still asked if I had eaten.He still made sure the drivers moved carefully whenever I sat inside the car.But something felt missing now and every time Liliana’s name appeared on his phone screen, my chest tightened.Three days passed like that.Three uncomfortable days.That morning, I stood in front of the mirror while adjusting my loose blue dress carefully over my stomach.Today was my antenatal appointment.Usually Damian attended every appointment with me.He always cleared his schedule for it.I walked downstairs slowly and found him already seated at the dining table with his laptop open in front of him.Several papers lay beside his coffee cup while one of his assistants stood nearby discussing something quietly.He looked up when he noticed me approaching.His eyes softened slightly at

Serena’s povI stared at Damian as his harsh words echoed inside my head.You were always just a replacement for Liliana.She’s the real love of my life.The world around me seemed to stop me my cheeks still burned from the slap.Everything hurt but the worst pain was the tear coming from my heart.Tears slipped down my face without stopping.For a moment, I thought Damian would regret what he said. I thought he would look at me and realize how cruel he had been.But he did not.Instead, he turned toward Liliana. “Come inside,” he said quietly.Liliana glanced at me once before she nodded.Damian wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her toward the cabin.Neither of them looked back.I stood there alone, humiliated and abandoned by my husband.The lake breeze brushed against my skin, but I barely felt it.My husband had chosen another woman, not only that. He had finally said what everyone else had been whispering from the beginning.I was a replacement, nothing more.A fresh wa

Serena’s povI left the hospital that afternoon. The doctor wanted me to stay another night for observation but I refused.I could not remain there any longer, not after hearing Damian’s words and learning that he believed I lied about the accident.Did he think I cared much about his attention? Especially when he was giving it to anybody that wanted it.The hospital arranged a cab for me after I signed the discharge papers. I changed into the clothes the stranger had bought for me. The cream sweater and loose pants fit perfectly. I still had no idea who rescued me.The thought stayed with me during the entire ride home. A stranger went out of his way to stop, carry me to the hospital and stay until the doctors treated me, meanwhile my own husband ignored my calls and talked smack to his bitch of a girlfriend.My eyes burned again and I turned my face toward the window.The city cared less about my marital warfare because the world continued moving but my life felt completely broken.

Damien’s povI watched Serena disappear upstairs and felt my chest recoil till it was hard to breathe but the second she vanished from sight, the tension inside my chest eased slightly.The argument had exhausted me.Lately, every conversation between us seemed to end the same way. When we have accusations and tears flying around us each time we try to have a normal conversation. I rubbed my forehead and released a long breath.Part of me wanted to go after her and ask her why she looked so pale. It was all I could think about when I pinned her to the wall.I am ashamed to admit that I put hands on my wife but I was just so lost in my anger at that moment. Everything had become so difficult between us lately and I wanted to know why.Before I could move, a hand touched my arm and I looked down to see Lilliana smiling up at me. I totally forgot she was still here.“Why would you let your wife talk to you like that?”I frowned, “excuse me?”She shrugged, “I mean I get that she is angry
