All Chapters of Begging The Woman He Ruined : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

David’s lips trembled.“I…”He took a slow breath before forcing the words out. “I’ll go, Mira.”For a second, I couldn’t breathe. It felt as though the floor beneath my feet had disappeared. “No…” The word slipped from my lips as a whisper.“No, David.” Fresh tears blurred my vision. “You can’t.”“I have to.”“You don’t.”“I do.”His voice was calm, but mine shattered. “No!” I cried. “You don’t have to leave me when our marriage is already falling apart!” He stepped closer, but I backed away.“This isn’t just another business meeting,” he said. “It’s one of the biggest projects our company has ever handled. Every executive partner is required to attend. If I don’t go, I’ll be putting years of work at risk.”“And what about us?” I shouted. “What about our marriage?” “What about the moments we’ve spent trying to build this family?” My chest rose and fell violently. “And what about us?” I shouted. “What about our marriage?“What about the promises we made standing in front of everyone w

David’s voice came through the phone, calm and distant. “Mira. I’ve arrived in Zimbabwe. For the business trip. Please have a nice day.”For a second, I couldn’t speak. That was it? No explanation. No apology. No “I’m sorry I left while you were asleep.” Nothing.I tightened my grip on the phone until my fingers hurt. “David.” My voice shook. “You couldn’t even explain why you left this morning while I was still asleep?”Silence.“You ignored me, left without saying goodbye, and now when I finally call you all you can say is that you’ve arrived and that I should have a nice day?”I waited. I prayed he would say something that would make this hurt less. Instead the line went dead. He had ended the call. I stared at my phone in disbelief.“No. My lips trembled. “He hung up on me.” A second later, my phone vibrated. Hope rushed through me. Maybe he had realized how cruel that was. Maybe he was calling back. Instead, it was a text. I don’t need any arguments. Take care of yourself.Th

{Mira’s POV}“Hello…” My voice barely sounded like my own. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. I sat frozen on the floor of David’s study, Leo’s birth certificate trembling violently in my hands while my phone was pressed against my ear. My heart pounded so hard it hurt.“Mira?” David finally said. “Did you find the blue file?” I stared at the certificate again. Father’s Name: David Cole. His signature sat beneath it like a cruel confession. My lips parted.“David…”“Hm?”“What is Leo’s birth certificate doing in your private documents?”Silence. Complete silence. The kind that made my stomach twist into painful knots. “David?” I whispered. “Answer me.” His breathing became uneven.“Mira…”“No.” My voice cracked. “Don’t say my name. Just answer me.” Another long silence. “I asked you a question.” When he finally spoke, his voice was noticeably lower.“Where did you find that?”A bitter laugh escaped my lips. “So you’re not denying it’s there.”“Mira…”“You told me…” Tears blurred

Mira’s POV}“Do you want my husband to be yours?” The question remained between us. I could hear my own breathing, heavy and uneven, as I waited for Kamara to answer. One second passed. Then another. Finally, she spoke.“That question is for another day.”My brows pulled together. “What?”“You will soon find out if I need him or not.”My heart sank. Before I could respond, the call ended. She had hung up. I slowly lowered the phone from my ear and stared at the screen. The call was over. Just like that. No explanation. No apology. Nothing.A bitter laugh escaped my lips, but it quickly turned into a sob. I covered my mouth with my hand. “Why?” The word came out broken. “Why is my life like this?” My knees weakened, and I sank onto the edge of the chair. I had been insulted. Accused. Made to feel like a burden in my own marriage.And somehow, I was still the one sitting here crying over the man at the center of it all. I wiped my cheeks angrily. “Maybe she is right.” The moment I said

Mira’s POV}“Another baby mama with a child.” The words escaped my lips like they belonged to someone else. I stared at David. He didn’t move. He didn’t defend himself. He didn’t even look surprised anymore.He simply stood there with Sharone’s child in his arms, his face filled with guilt. My chest tightened. I slowly turned toward Sharone. “Please…” My voice trembled. “Are you sure that child is David’s?”Sharone stared at me. Then she looked at David before answering. “Yes.”Her answer came without hesitation. My heart sank. “How can you be so sure?”She folded her arms. “Because it happened before your wedding.” I blinked. “What? “I was already with David before he married you.”I looked at David. His eyes dropped. Something inside me went cold. “So you knew he was getting married?”Sharone nodded. “Yes.”“And you still got pregnant for him?”Her expression changed immediately. “Don’t blame me.”I frowned. “What?”“You shouldn’t be blaming me, Mira. Blame your husband.” She point
