A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 10
I looked at him in surprise.Shayne immediately handed me the test results, clearly excited about the arrival of this new life. "You fainted last night; it really scared me," he said. "The doctor pushed you in for a check-up and found out that you're pregnant."However, with all the stress you've been under recently, your emotions have been up and down, which has caused the pregnancy to be a bit unstable. You'll need to stay in the hospital for a while to rest and let the pregnancy stabilize."I took the results from him absentmindedly, my gaze fixed on the image of the barely formed baby. My heart, which had been shattered and bruised, found a moment of comfort in knowing that I was pregnant.Instinctively, I placed my hand on my abdomen and caressed the new life inside of me. Countless thoughts flooded my mind. As my father passed away early, I was raised in a single-parent household. I didn't want my children to go through the same kind of childhood I had.So, I spoke up, "Sh

Shayne jumped to his feet, exclaiming, "That's impossible!""So much has happened these past few days." I locked eyes with him. "First, Zach has firmly chosen Luna..."Shayne, always calm and restrained, now spoke with a fearful tremor in his voice. "That's just him being immature, honey. I've never crossed any lines with her. You can be angry at Zach or blame me, but you can't leave me."By the end of his sentence, he was almost pleading.But again, he shifted the responsibility onto Zach, seemingly unaware that all the hurt I endured stemmed from his silent acquiescence and indulgence. He couldn't see how, after all these years, the love I had for him disappeared entirely the moment I fell down the stairs."And then," I continued, "even though you promised me you wouldn't keep in contact with her, it turned out that you two are still in touch."Shayne opened his mouth, but no words came out. It was obvious he hadn't expected me to know about what he was doing behind my back. He
A Heart Reclaimed: The Love I Deserve Chapter 12
Holding his tongue, Shayne eventually left the room with Zach.…Not long after they left, I received a call from the nurse. She asked about how we should handle the remains of the child that had never fully formed. They knew my condition wasn't good. Since they were worried it would upset me, they called my husband first. But when they couldn't reach him, they had no choice but to contact me directly, asking me to come in and sign the necessary documents.After explaining everything, they asked when I could head over.My health wasn't great. I really shouldn't be moving around. But this would be my first and last time seeing the child I would never have. If I delayed this any longer, my baby might feel hurt...And so, I told them I would go right now.I signed some documents when I arrived. After a long wait, they handed me a small box. With the tiny box in my hands, I took a taxi to the cemetery, bought a plot for the child, and buried the child there.I should have left aft

Shayne cautiously asked, "Honey, you don't mind, do you?""Oh, she made your 'honey' fall down the stairs and miscarry, but you're worried about her getting beaten by her ex-husband!" I scoffed, "You're a saint, really.""Honey!" Shayne stood up in anger. "I know you're upset about losing the baby. However, you need to understand that Zach was the one who called you to the stairwell, and you slipped. It had nothing to do with Luna. Her life is in danger. As a woman, you're making snide remarks instead of sympathizing with her." He shook his head. "I misjudged you! Anyway, whether you agree or not, Luna is moving into our house."With that, Shayne stormed out.See?This was Shayne. No matter how much I was hurt or trampled on, even if I didn't retaliate and only vented a little, he always thought I was in the wrong. I used to love him, and I would compromise for him.But not this time.I turned my cold gaze away and quietly lay on the hospital bed, staring at the pale ceiling.I stayed

"If they really get married, will Zach still have a good life? Aralyn, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Zach. He's your flesh and blood. Can you bear to see him suffer?"My past self definitely couldn't.I prioritized him in everything for fear he would suffer even a little.But what did I get in return?He would hurt himself and me just to make me, as his mother, step aside!I didn't feel the urge to explain; I only mentioned briefly, "The mistress treats him well."My mother was dissatisfied with my rebuttal. "Can anyone treat him better than his mother?"I sneered. "Probably, since he now calls the mistress 'Mom'."My mother furrowed her brows, clearly not expecting Zach could act so outrageous. Not knowing what to say, she held my hand in silence.At this moment, I felt the urge to confide. "Shayne and Zach like the mistress. In this family, I have long been an outsider. Since that's the case, I don't want this kind of family anymore.""Sill

I finally got a good look at the man in front of me.His features were handsome enough to rival a star, but his demeanor was cold.Just standing there, he exuded an air of superiority that kept others at a distance.If I had known him, I would definitely remember his face.But after thinking hard, I still couldn't recall where I might have seen such a face. "Do I know you?" I asked.The man, fearing I might misunderstand, proactively explained, "You fell down the stairs the day before yesterday. We took you to the emergency room."Before he told me this, I had always thought Shayne who was right behind me saved me after hearing the sound of my fall.I lowered my gaze.So, it wasn't Shayne…I looked at the man in front of me. "Thank you for saving my life."This was no small matter.Of course, a simple verbal thank-you wouldn't suffice. "I don't know how I can repay you."A smile appeared in his eyes. "Actually, I happen to need your help with something."Since giving bir

As if afraid I would misunderstand, Julian quickly added, "Of course, I'll pay you a salary."But I was not divorced yet. If I were to leave Shayne and Zach abruptly to take care of a stranger's child, it might negatively affect Julian.I wasn't sure how to respond."I understand your situation..." Julian mentioned as he handed me a sleek, black business card embossed in gold. "And I know you'll need time to think it over, so there's no need to rush to give me an answer."After I absentmindedly took the card, Julian got to his feet."I'll take my leave now," he said.As I watched him as he turned to leave, I bit my lip.I didn't have money or a place to stay. After the divorce, I might end up homeless.But now, this incredible opportunity had landed in my lap.I had to seize it. "One week," I suddenly announced, prompting Julian to pause and look back at me in confusion.I quickly explained, "I just need one week to finalize the divorce. After that, I'll come to your house

Luna thanked everyone as she accepted the gifts. In the end, she was so overwhelmed that tears of joy began to fall. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "I never thought my dream would come true. I've actually become a real family with all of you. I'm so happy.""Don't say that," Shayne clumsily comforted her, seemingly couldn't bear to see her tears. "Let's eat first. The food will get cold otherwise."In high spirits, everyone was about to head to the dining room when Shayne suddenly stopped. He turned around, and that was when he saw me standing at the door. The smile on his face froze instantly. When he stopped, the others also turned to look. Their faces turned sour when they realized that I had come home.I looked at them, a fire of uncontrollable anger igniting within me. It hadn't even been seven days since I lost my child… The very people who caused my miscarriage weren't feeling any guilt at all. Instead, they were gathered here, enjoying themselves as if nothing had happen
