Flowers Are Bait Ch 9

Jika menjadi seorang ibu adalah tentang melahirkan bayi setelah 9 bulan kehamilan, hidup akan menjadi lebih mudah bagi Devita Maharani. Sayangnya, tidak demikian yang terjadi padanya. Ketika bayinya telah tumbuh menjadi seorang anak perempuan yang cerdas dan mulai mempertanyakan ketidakhadiran sang ayah, pengasuhan Devita diuji. Ketakutan terburuknya adalah harus memberi tahu putrinya yang berusia 7 tahun bahwa dia dikandung dalam hubungan satu malam dengan orang asing. Karena panik, Devita memilih untuk berbohong, berjanji pada dirinya sendiri bahwa dia akan mengatakan yang sebenarnya pada anak perempuannya saat dia sudah lebih besar. Rencana terbaik berubah menjadi neraka saat takdir memutuskan untuk membawa pria itu kembali ke dalam hidupnya saat dia tidak mengharapkannya. Dan lebih buruk lagi, pria itu adalah CEO yang berseberangan dengan dia di tempat kerja barunya. Neraka pun pecah. Devita akhirnya dihadapkan pada kebohongannya sendiri.

He didn’t choose her then. He has to fight for her now. *** I married Alex Marwood because our families said it was right. He never chose me. Not once. One lie from my stepsister ruined everything. I signed the divorce papers with a secret in my belly. I left, learned how to breathe again, and built a quiet life with two little cute humans who call me “Mom.” Years later, fate walks through the lobby of my hotel in a tailored suit and the same storm-blue eyes my son wears. Alex stops. Looks at my twins. Looks at me. “I’m sorry,” he says. But where do I start? With the nights I cried alone? With the accident nobody will talk about? With the powerful people who would rather bury the truth than let me be happy? Alex wants a second chance. I want peace. But when old enemies start circling and “accidents” stop being accidents, I realize love isn’t just flowers and apologies. If he wants us back, he’ll have to fight for us.

I have to admit that my husband's true love is a charming and charismatic woman. After she returns to the country, my husband, who always says he knows nothing about being romantic, racks his brains to think of ways to please her. Even my son wants her to be his mother—he says it to my face, too. To my husband and son, I'm only worthy of cooking and cleaning for them. Later, an autistic little girl tugs on my shirt and says firmly, "Zach might not want his mommy, but I do!" It's only then that I realize flowers can bloom in parched land. When I'm finally living the life I want, my ex-husband and son come to me, telling me they regret their actions… My ex-husband calls and says Zach misses me. I answer, "I'm not his mother anymore." Then, he says he's made a mistake—he's realized that I'm the one he loves. The man beside me kisses the back of my hand, sounding jealous as he says, "Do you think you deserve to be with her when I've yet to win her heart?"
