All Chapters of She Ran Away with His Hidden Heir : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"I'll protect you." Kael Villafuerte's voice was deep. "I will not let you face this alone."Serena Valencia's world seemed to stop.She stood outside the slightly open door of the private consultation room, her whole body stiff while staring at the scene in front of her.The man she married two years ago... The man who promised to love only her forever... Is hugging a pregnant woman tightly.A tear slowly fell on her cheek. She felt like her lungs were slowly losing air.She could not hear her own heartbeat. She could not feel her shaking hands.The only thing clear to her were Kael's arms tightly wrapped around another woman.She looked down.She tightly held the white envelope she had been hugging earlier. That envelope contained an ultrasound photo and three pregnancy tests.And news she dreamed of telling her husband all morning.She is also pregnant with Kael's child.She closed her eyes. Just earlier she was thinking about how she would tell her husband the happiest news of the

Serena woke up early the next day because Eli kept jumping on the bed without stopping."Mommy! Wake up!"She slightly opened her eyes."Eli, it's only seven.""I know!" the boy answered happily. "But you said yesterday, our first activity is today!"She sighed while laughing. It seems her son does not know how to get tired."Five more minutes, baby please.""No!" He even pulled the blanket. "Mommy!"Serena just shook her head before getting up. It seemed she had no choice but to follow her son.Because he was so excited, he managed to wake her up at seven. Crazy! Her whole life, she would still be asleep at this time, and here she is, Eli is the only one who can wake her up this early.But like she said earlier, she had no choice."Okay, okay. You win.""Yay!"After an hour, she and Eli were both ready to leave.Serena was wearing a simple knee-length white sundress, flat sandals, and a wide straw hat. Even though her clothes were simple, you cannot deny that she is elegant. Yes, she

Serena could not count how many times she tried to make herself believe that she had nothing to worry about. Under the bright heat of the sun, every piece of white sand looked like shining glass, but for her, this light only made the nervousness in her chest bigger. It was just a tour. This was only for one day and after this, they would go back to their quiet house and enjoy their holiday, far from the judging eyes of anyone. She had no reason to think about Kael, the man she had buried in her past for a long time.He is really gone, she whispered to herself again and again while breathing the salty sea air that touched her face.But while she sat under the big beach umbrella, she felt the hot air and the soft crash of the waves that seemed to not let her rest. She could not stop herself from looking at her son. The blue water reached up to Eli's knees, and he was happily playing in the water. And Kael was with him. Every move Kael made, the way he bent down to match the boy's height

It was still very early in the morning, but Serena's eyes were already wide open. Not because of the sound of the alarm, and especially not because of Eli who was still sleeping soundly beside her. The reason she woke up was the message she was trying hard to forget from last night. It felt like it was playing again and again in her mind, not letting her sleep.I know you're back. And this time, you won't be able to run.She did not know who sent that. But all night she felt the heaviness of those words.She slowly sat on the edge of the bed while feeling the shaking of her hands. The floor was cold on the bottom of her feet, but she felt the nervousness more, as if it wanted to break out of her chest. She stared at nothing for a few seconds, listening to her own fast heartbeat.After that, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. She wiped her sweaty hands on the cloth of her sleepwear. She needed to be strong. She could not let fear win now, especially since she had already over

Serena could not get Kael's last words out of her head. Five years had passed since she walked away for good. Five years since she fled Isla Verde because of the pregnant woman she saw at the hospital.Was it just a coincidence that Kael was also divorced now? She did not want to give it any meaning. But as she and Eli walked along the beach, the cold waves crashing against their feet, that painful memory kept forcing its way back into her mind.She remembered the sterile smell of the hospital hallway. The slightly opened door. Kael's deep, protective voice promising, "I'll protect you. I won't let you face this alone."And the woman hugged him tightly. Pregnant. That was what her own eyes had seen. That was what she believed. And that had been enough of a reason for her to run away."Mommy?"A small, sweet voice broke her thoughts. She looked down at Eli, whose innocent eyes were staring up at her with concern."Yes, baby?""Why are you so quiet?"She forced a small smile, trying har
