Chapter Forty-seven

The Family Moment

As we savored our delicious breakfast at the restaurant, I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The laughter of Amara and Asher, their smiles, and the simple joy of being with them for this precious moment were all I needed to temporarily banish the shadows of my looming fate.

But then, as I took a sip of my coffee, I noticed someone across the room. My heart skipped a beat, and the taste of the coffee turned bitter as I stared at the man who seemed strangely familiar. His face, obscured by a newspaper, held an uncanny resemblance to someone from my past. The man Sophie had an affair with.

I turned to Sophie, wondering if she saw the same person, this was the same person.

Unable to dismiss the nagging feeling, I put down my coffee cup and observed him intently, my eyes fixed on his profile. His features were etched with the passage of time, but there was an undeniable resemblance that tugged at the corners of my memory.

It all happened because of Sophie.She was responsible for the division in our family. She broke the love we had, betrayed me and shattered our trust.

I wouldn’t have been able to deal without her. I knew we had problems and dispute and we were not in a good place, but I couldn’t let anything go wrong with her.“Sophie.” I murmured, helping her up from the floor, “are you okay? Do you feel alright or do we have to go to the hospital?” I asked and she shook her head in response.“I…I am fine.” She stuttered.“I…I am sorry mom, I didn’t mean to push you.” Amara said, tears still rolling down her eyes, “I am sorry, mom.”Sophie shook her head, “I am sorry for lying to you, darling. I didn’t mean to do that, I was only doing it for you and your brother, just to protect you two.” She stated, pulling the kids to herself.I didn’t know if it would right to leave her that way, or go to the hospital.
