2024-10-29 19:42:56The week went by naturally. But for Carmen, it felt like the longest, most torturing moments of her life, and as her eyes slowly opened to the light of a new day, she drew her knee towards her chest and curled into a ball.
When she heard a knock on her room door, she hastily squeezed her eyelids shut and hugged onto the pillow.
“Carm, are you awake?” Liam mumbled.
When he didn't get an answer from her, he rested his back against the door, hung his head, and sighed.
Today counted as the eighth day, he and Carmen had been sleeping in separate rooms, and they had been avoiding each other the entire time.
Even though it tore him to wake up alone in bed and walked past her without uttering a word, he still wanted to give her the space she needed.
However, right now, Liam felt as though they were slowly drifting apart because of that.
But it relieved him that after today things were going to be different since it was finally the day fo

‘It’s finally over.’ Carmen thought with her head facing the windshield as she watched other vehicles pass by.However, her heart still felt heavy and her mind felt drained when negative thoughts began to crowd her head, leaving her too exhausted to cry or think straight, so she closed her eyes and allowed herself to sink into a field of nothingness.“Does it hurt anywhere?” Dax asked, taking his eyes off the road for a second to stare at her.“No,” Carmen whispered without raising hereyelids.Even though she was in pain, it was not the kind of feeling she wanted to explain to Dax since it will only leave him hurt.Silence fell between them for a moment, then Dax softly sighed and said, “Whatever result we get tomorrow, I hope we can still be friends. You are an amazing woman, Carmen, and I still want to be in your life even if it’s not in a romantic way.”After two seconds had pass

The loud knocking sound echoed into Liam's ears, forcing him to open his eyes. Then he sat up, glanced at the empty wine bottle, and stood from the couch.“What is it?” Liam mumbled the moment he opened the door.“What happened between Carmen and you?!” Max asked with worry in his eyes.“What are you talking about?”“Dax and Carmen are getting married a day from now. It's everywhere on the news. I th…”Before Max could end his statement, Liam slammed the door in his face. Then a few seconds later, he came out with his car key.“Where are you going! At least, let me drop you. Those dark circles around your eyes tell me you didn't sleep well.” Max screamed, watching Liam head towards his car.The sound of the vehicle engine was the only response Max got as Liam drove out of the yard.“He's stubborn as a mute. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid.&rdquo

A woman's wedding should feel like the best day of her life, but as Mrs. Smith zipped up Carmen's gown zipper, she felt like she was suffocating.It was her second time wearing the perfect wedding dress, and yet the second time felt just as terrible as the first.“I must be one of the most unlucky brides,” Carmen mumbled, watching the sunlight crept through the window.“Why would you say that? Dax is the sweetest and most honest man on this planet and you should feel lucky that you are marrying him.” Mrs. Smith said, reaching for the diamond necklace.“Then why don't I feel that way, mom?”“Love will develop, honey. Give it time.”It grew silent as Carmen's fingers traced against the necklace and sadly smiled.“You look like a princess.” Mrs. Smith mumbled, wiping her tears with a napkin.“Thanks, mom,” Carmen whispered, holding in her urge to cry.A

I thought tod…”“Which cell is Liam in?” Carmen abruptly asked, trembling from emotions coursing through her.“Umm… We released him a few minutes ago.”“No. No…”“Are you okay?”Without replying, Carmen left the police station. Then she stopped on the sidewalk, and ran her fingers through her hair, crying her eyes out.“Where the hell are you?” Carmen softly cried, gently rubbing her neck.Finally, another cab stopped for her and she hurried inside.“Are you okay, miss? Do you need me to stop at a shoe store?” The driver asked, turning his head to stare at her.“No. Just dr

“Dad,” Carmen whispered, pressing the phone tightly to her ear.Her gaze swayed away from the morning light creeping through the window and focused on her stomach as she gently rubbed it.“What is it, Carm? It's six o'clock in the morning. Are you in labor?” Mr. Smith's voice flowed out of the phone speaker. For a moment, Carmen absentmindedly stared at the spared pillow. Then she shooked her head and snapped out of her thoughts.“Did you have something to do with Liam's disappearance?” Carmen asked, feeling a dull throb in her chest.

Afterward, Mrs. Smith came out, followed by Dr. Rebecca and her team.“Doc, I'm sure you love your job, right?” Mr. Smith mumbled, glaring at Rebecca.“I'm a doctor, not a reporter, so you don't have to threaten me, Mr. Smith. I know how to keep my mouth out of things that don't concern me, so does my team. Right, guys?” Rebecca with a brave face, yet there was a hint of fear in her voice.“Yes, doc.” Her team said in unison.Although Mr. Smith still felt a bit uneasy about people knowing that the child belongs to Liam and not Dax, he knew from the fear in their eyes that they were going to keep their lips sea

He was never mine Epilogue

He really cares about young sir.'Realizing that the car wasn't moving, Liam raised his eyelids and asked, "We are here?""Yes, sir," Freddie said.Without uttering another word, Liam got down from the car and headed into the school building.When he got to Ethan's class and his teacher saw him, she smiled and said, "Ethan, your father is here."Keeping silent, Ethan walked over to Liam and mumbled, "Hello,"With a smile on his face, Liam sighed and thought, 'I have been in your life for one year now, and you won't call me 'father.' How long will it take to make you open up to me and believe that I'm not going to leave you.'Afterward, he extended his hand to Ethan, and not hesitating, he

The sound of her ringtone caused Carmen to set the pancake box on the kitchen counter. Then she picked up the phone, answered the call, and said, "Hey, mom." "Are you okay?" Mrs. Smith worriedly asked from the other end of the line. Confused by her mother's question, Carmen calmly uttered, "Why wouldn't I be?" "Well, Ummm… We were told that Ali was at the company yesterday?" "Seriously, you guys are still keeping tabs on me!" "No! Of course, not… Well, okay, yes we are. But not in the way that you think. Your dad and I were just checking in with Tracy this morning to find out how your first day went." At that moment, Carmen heard Mr. Smith say, "I told her not to call you!" Giggling faintly, the slight anger she felt slowly faded, and she said, "It's fine. We handle the situation pretty well, I think." "We?" Mrs. Smith asked, sounding curious. "Liam and I." "You guys are a

Keeping his eyes fixed on Carmen and Ethan as they stood by the car door, waiting on him, Liam walked over to them.When he was a step away from them, he stopped. Then Carmen met his eyes and said, "Ethan wanted us to wait out here for you.""Thank you, bud," Liam uttered, looking down at his son.Then he focused his gaze back at Carmen, and her face still bore no expression, making it hard for him to guess what she was thinking or how she felt.A few minutes later, as Freddie drove them out of the parking lot, the car was silent and continued to be even after he got on the main road.That bothered Ethan a lot, and he looked up at Liam on his left for a few seconds, and then looked to his right at Carmen before mumbling "I made a friend at school today.""Really! Bud, that's amazing!" Liam said with a look of pride in his eyes."Yeah, baby. What's your friend's name?" Carmen asked, unable to stop smiling.With an excited

The office was silent as Carmen stared coldly at Ali, wondering what she would say to her.At last, she lowered her brows and said, "We are not that close, so let's save the chit chat, and you can excuse yourself and leave.""Oh come on, Carm. Don't tell me you are still holding onto past grudges." Ali cunningly said, sluggishly relaxing back on the seat.Although Carmen didn't know where the conversation was heading, the last thing she wanted was to continue it.So she looked straight into Ali's eyes and said, "We are not doing this.""Doing what?" Ali asked with an innocent expression."I k

"Ding Dong!"Withdrawing his hand from on the doorbell, Liam waited patiently for a couple of seconds.Then he reached for the bell again, but the door suddenly opened, and Carmen stood in the doorway, staring at him."I hope I'm not too early," Liam mumbled, drawing his hand to his side."No. You are on time." Carmen said as she stepped aside for him to enter.After walking into the hallway, Liam gazed back and asked, "Where's Ethan?""He's having his breakfast," Carmen said, shutting the door.Afterward, she and Liam headed into the dining room together.When they arrived, and Liam sight rested on his son, his face lit up, and he excitedly uttered, "Hey bud. Ready for your first day of school?"Pouting, Ethan looked away from his cereal, stared at Carmen, and mumbled, "Mommy, why can't you be the one to take me to school.""We talked about this, honey. Your dad doesn't have much to do today, so he's

"Mommy," Ethan called out, looking at Carmen before staring down at her vibrating phone.Then he gently shook her arm until she finally raised her lashes and stared at him.Still feeling dizzy, a soft smile crept on her lips as she stared at her son's grey eyes and long lashes."What is it, baby?" Carmen whispered."Your phone is ringing," Ethan mumbled, drawing back on the bed as his mother sat up.It took her a second to fully awake. Then she stared down at her phone, picked it up, and answered the call."Good morning, mother," Carmen said, raffling Ethan's hair as he giggled faintly."I know it's early. But I and your father was discussing, and we thought since you have spent four months on that end, you are ready to take over the SM branch there." Mrs. Smith's voice echoed into her ear.Keeping silent, Carmen rested back on the headboard and thought, 'Four months? It's been that long already?'"What did Carm say?" Sh

For a while, Lina stared at her son, wondering if he was serious or not."I ready don't want to repeat what I said," Liam mumbled, gazing away from her. "You need to leave.""I am your mother," Lina whispered, clutching her fist."Remember the days in the darkroom, when I was screaming to be let out, I needed you to be my mother then or when Anthony and Levi left bruises on my skin and made me bleed, I wanted you to be my mother…""Liam…""There were so many instances that are needed you so desperately to realize that I am your son and put me first! But you didn't!""I'm…""I'm not going to be like you, mother. My child comes first even before the woman that brought me into this world, so you need to leave!"Fighting back tears, Carmen clapped her hand over her trembling lips as she stared at Liam with a touch of sadness in her eyes."I know my wrongs." Lina cried, not knowing what else to say.
He was never mine You've lost the right to see me as such
Staring coldly at his grandfather, Liam scowled before gazing at his mother and saying, "It was supposed to be just you!""Well, when father found out that I was seeing Ethan, he wanted to meet him too, so he flew over to me for us to come together," Lina said, smiling at her son.However, that didn't change Liam's expression, and his eyes got colder the more he stared at his grandfather."Are you going to let us in?" Anthony asked, scowling at his grandson.The atmosphere was intense, and Carmen felt it as she approached Liam at the door."Mr. Davis?" Carmen mumbled, losing control over her expression for a second and frowning.Then she quickly curved her lips into a smile and calmly called out, "Liam, are you not going to step back?"Taking in a deep breath, Liam continued to give his grandfather an icy stare for a few minutes before allowing himself to step away from the door.Everything in him hated to see Anthony and
