Chapter: 141141Alora's POV I adjusted my hat, just so I could stop any ray of sun from slipping through. I wasn't a big fan of the outdoors, so best believe that if I had a chance, I wouldn't even be here. I knew I didn't, so what did I do? I pressed my lips into a thin line, while forcing myself to enjoy the view. If I was being honest, it wasn't too bad. My only annoyance was the fact that it was way too sunny, despite the weather forecaster saying we were going to have a cool and almost rainy day. I'd been in the park for the past hour and some minutes, and I wasn't exaggerating when I said I hadn't seen a single cloud in the sky. It was all sun and sun, and if I hadn't brought out my sunscreen, I probably would be melting by now. A small giggle was all it took to pull me out of my mini rant. I was miserable, yrs, but apparently, all I needed to pull me out of that foul mood was a glance at the little bundle of joy just standing a couple of feet away from me. A little girl not olde

Chapter: 140140Alora's POV I couldn't believe my ears. The words echoed in my head and all around me, but no matter how many times I heard it, I just didn't want to believe it. It sounded too bad to be true, didn't it? “Henry..” he stuttered, clearly breathless. “Henry's the father of Cynthia's child.” When I'd rushed home to tell Henry, I wasn't exactly sure what I was expecting. The little boy and his refence to Henry was surprising, but right now, I was flabbergasted, or whatever word that could debote the highest level of surprise. I knew Cynthia was a shrewd woman, but cheating, that was where I kind of expected her to draw the line. I pressed my eyes shut, and memories I didn't want to remember came rushing at me. The main reason she and Eliaz had actually gotten together in the first place, was because she had snatched him away from me. It was pretty obvious the reason she did that was to spite me, but with how long they'd lasted, I actually thought there had to be a tiny bit of

Chapter: 139139Cynthia's POV I pressed my lips together, careful not to make sound. It wasn't that important, but any slip up right now could mess things up and that was the last thing I needed right now. I'd stressed so much, thought about it so much that I was certain I was going to run psycho at some point, but since that didn't happen, there was no way I was going to let my plans fall through at the last moment. Never. I wrung my hands together, before casting a small glare at the staircase. It led to our bedroom, but that wasn't what stood out to me. It was the fact that it was empty that made my heart boil. Where the hell was he? .I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration. I was tensed up, and Eliaz wasting my time was only worsening matters for me. What the hell was he still doing up there? I had timed his movement perfectly, and by now he should be well on his way downstairs. So what the hell was keeping him for so long? Cynthia?” Someone called from behind me,

Chapter: 138138Alora's POV I honestly thought the pastries were going to help, why? While I stood rooted in my spot, I'd seen a couple walk in here. They were young and the lady looked really down, same as her boyfriend, but the moment they walked past me with a steaming plate of whatever it was they ordered, all it took for his girlfriend to sport a bright smile was just seven minutes. Yes, I counted. As for her Boyfriend, his reaction was when faster. He was all better in less than four minutes. Four minutes! That was a record I never knew could be broken until now. If the pastries really did help, then why was I still confused as ever, even after downing my order a good twenty minutes ago? I stared down at my plate. It was empty, and while I would admit that it tasted really nice, why didn't it make me all happy instantly? It has worked for them, so why was I the exception? Was mine going to take longer because I was alone? Or perhaps it had to do with what they had ordered. What if I

Chapter: 137136Cynthia's POV I drummed my fingers against the tabletop, not minding the uneven rhythm that reached my ears. At intervals, I would scratch my nails against the said tabletop, just so I could pull out an obnoxious creaking sound. Whenever I did that, I made sure to drag it on for as long as possible. I might be exaggerating, but I was sure whoever was in the rooms next to mine would be regretting why they'd decided to check into this particular hotel today. I was frustrated, and I'll be damned if I was the only one to experience it. “Can you stop?” Henry spoke up, his voice riding against the annoying background. He was loud, and I watched irritation flash in his eyes. If anything it only fueled my motivation and I smirked. “Cynthia, stop.” I did the exact opposite. I dug my nails deeper, making it sound more horrifying than the last. He winced in response, and just when he thought he was going to pass out, I stopped. “What is wrong with you, Cynthia?” He shot at me insta

Chapter: 136136Alora's POV I was stunned, and no matter how many times I blinked back, it did nothing to erase the scene in front of me. In fact, I rubbed at my eyes, hoping that at least something was going to change, but it didn't. Instead, Henry inched closer, a huge grin on his face. The moment his gaze landed on me though, his smile faltered. What was he doing here?” “Mummy, mummy, mummy.” The little boy bounced happily on his feet. “Look what we got. They're so yummy and smell soo….”“Shush!” Cynthia's interruption was so harsh it had me flinching too. “not another word from you. Understand?” “But….” The little boy's face fell immediately. “I was just trying to…” “I said quiet!” Cynthia snarled. A small gasp slid past the boys lips, and he took a step back in fear. It was obvious he was scared to the bones and had obviously gotten Cynthia's message, but apparently it wasn't enough for her. “I'm going to smack the living daylights out of you and….”“Hey!” I caught hold of her han
