REBECCA’S POV

My fingertips tugged against my palm, my chest tightened as my eyes locked on the three who walked in. Honestly, I didn’t know why it bothered me since it was such a regular sight these days.

My husband, Felix Cross, strolled in casually with his sister-in-law, Anna.

Will, our Five-year-old son, tagged along against Anna's side, their fingers intertwined. The sound of their laughter was like a taunt to my ears.

Seeing me in the dining room, Will rushed up towards me. I gave a smile,my arms were still stretched towards him, frozen in midair, but will had already twirled back to Anna's side. 

The warmth I expected in my embrace never came. 

"Mommy, look what Aunty Anna bought me! It looks good on me, right?" He twirled even more, and that was when I noticed the new shirt he was wearing. "Isn’t it lovely? Miss Anna even bought one for Daddy. Isn’t she the perfect mommy?"

Ironic isn't it? 

The child I nearly died bringing into this world now clung to another woman like she was his mother. My fingers curled slightly. I forced them open before anyone could the tremble. 

"Hmm, I can see that," I retorted coldly.

Felix brushed past me as he guided Anna towards the table while I followed them closely. After he pulled out the chair for Anna and carefully tucked her in, helping her fix the napkin on her lap, he finally noticed me.

"Oh, you're here. I thought you would be working late today," he said calmly.

I bit my lip. Today was supposed to be our fifth anniversary. How could he forget something like that?

I decided to shrug it off. 

I noticed Anna’s eyes glimmer when she stared at the dining table. The only reason I took an early break from work was to give my husband and son a surprise family dinner, but it seemed no one even cared or remembered.

"Sis, did you make all this because you want to welcome me? That is so wonderful!" Anna squeaked with joy.

Her tone was sweet and soft, just like her demeanor, but as I stood there in front of them, a sense of uneasiness crept into my chest.

"What do you mean, welcome?" I flickered my gaze over to Felix, who didn’t spare me a single glance as he poured himself a glass of wine.

Anna seemed a little frightened as she placed a hand over her lips. "Oh, I’m guessing Felix didn’t tell you yet."

My eyes squinted with confusion, trying to process what was happening. "Tell me what exactly?"

"Mommy, Aunty Anna is going to be staying with us!" Will cheered, and my heart sank in my chest.

"Stay? Here?" My voice came out shakily.

"Of course. Granny said she can come live with us," Will pouted, flickering his lashes.

At this point, I didn’t know if my son was just plainly taunting me or if he was merely concerned about Anna.

"Felix, is this true? Is this woman going to be living with us?" I swallowed hard.

Finally, Felix lifted his gaze to meet mine. "Is there a problem?"

"Felix, you just decided to bring someone into our home without even discussing things with me?" I snapped, my tone rising with frustration.

Running my hands over my hair, I snorted. "Forgetting our fifth anniversary is one thing, but bringing someone in without discussing it with me, Felix, that is too far."

Felix sighed, rubbing his temple. Like I was an inconvenience. 

"Rebecca, must you always make everything about you?" He said flatly. 

"You work late, you're hardly around, and then you throw a fit over something you throw a fit over something that doesn't even concern you?"

I stared at him, stunned. 

Doesn't concern me? 

This is my home. My family. 

Felix glanced at Anna, who. Was quitely dabbing her tears with a tissue. His eyes softened. " You're scaring her."

Before I could speak will slammed me with his remark. 

"That's true and please stop calling Aunty Anna 'that woman.' I don’t like it. Besides, the only reason Granny agreed is because Aunty Anna takes better care of Dad and me more than you ever could."

Anna pouted as she pulled Will to sit on her lap. "Silly boy, didn’t I tell you to call me Anna? We are a family."

Her hand brushed over his hair, and Will gave her his brightest smile. It had been a long time since Will smiled like that toward me. "I know what you said, but can I call you Mommy instead? Since Dad likes you so much and you take care of him?"

My brows furrowed as I stumbled back in shock, my heart sinking inside my chest. My pulse started pounding against my ears.

"Is that so?" I managed to say.

"Will, watch your mouth," Felix thundered, then turned towards me.

My whole body froze as I tried to process what was happening.

"He’s just a child. Don’t take his words seriously," Felix frowned, his eyes searching mine.

"Please, let’s just eat. I’m really tired from today’s activities, and I don’t need drama," he added, his tone dropping low.

My arms crossed over my chest. "So, you think I am bringing you trouble? Giving you a headache?"

"Look, Anna is going through a lot after the death of my younger brother, and she is very ill. Mother just thought it’s best she stays here so she won’t be lonely. Don’t you understand?"

I shook my head and dropped onto my seat, which was far on the other side of the table since Anna had taken the seat next to Felix while my son was by her side.

"Sis, I’m really sorry if I’m bringing you trouble." Anna’s eyes filled with tears, and her lips began to quiver. "I understand how you feel, so I think it’s best I leave."

Anna got up slowly, but Felix calmly placed his hand over her wrist. "Where do you think you are going?" he asked softly, in a tone that made my heart shatter.

Throughout our years of marriage, Felix had never spoken to me so gently. He had his moments when he took care of me, but never like this.

"Please, you have to let me go. I don’t want to cause any trouble in your marriage. It was all my fault for asking too much from you," Anna mumbled, and the tears started falling from her eyes.

Was she being serious right now?

Will quickly held her hand. "Anna, please don’t cry. It breaks my heart to see you this way."

Without any hesitation, Felix pulled her into his arms. "Shh, it’s alright. I’m here. You don’t have to cry."

I suddenly remembered the first time I was in pain and burst into tears. Felix’s words back then were stern: "Crying is weakness, and I hate weak people because they disgust me."

Tears instinctively welled up in my eyes. The sight was too much for me to bear, so I turned on my heel.

"Where do you think you’re going after trying to bully Anna? Apologize at once," Felix’s hoarse tone made me stop in my tracks.

My hands curled up into tight fists, so tight I felt my knuckles go white.

Taking a deep breath, I spun to Felix and forced a smile. "What if I don’t want to apologize?"

Silence fell over the dinning room. 

I could hear the clock ticking, the faint sound from Will humming a tune as he played with Anna's bracelet. 

Felix's expression darkened, his jaws tightening

Then before I could react— A sharp sting burned across my cheeks. 

The room spun slightly as the impact forced my head to the side. The world went completely still. 

My hands clenched at my side as my heart beat pounded in my ears. 

Did... he just slap me? 

Will gasp and Anna eyes widened with shock before she lowered her head, a faint smile formed on her lips. 

Felix exhaled, flexing his fingers as if the action hadn't even meant anything to him. "Just stop making everything difficult, Rebecca. You're embarrassing yourself. 

I slowly turned my head back to face him, eyes were like ice. I see it now. He doesn't love me. He never did. 

And I will make sure he regrets this for the rest of his life.

"Please, I don't want you and Rebecca to fight because of me.""Enjoy the meal I made. The sight of you makes me nauseous," I retorted calmly, and Anna bit her lip inwardly."Rebecca, you've gone too far—"I rolled my eyes at Felix’s words. With a spin, I turned on my heels. I had nothing left to say to him or anyone in the room. Tears threatened to spill as I pressed my lips together.

Rebecca, don’t you dare cause a scene and ruin things for Anna. Do you know how much she worked for this project?”Even in this moment, the only person on his mind was still Anna.I let out a slow, humorless laugh.

One I had tried my best to keep hidden, yet he knew.Deciding not to dwell too much on my past, I tucked the card back with the intention of checking it later.Sliding into my car, I turned on the engine, and in what felt like the speed of lightning, I was already at Langford Courthouse.The moment I swung the door open, Jessica jumped on me, wrapping her arms around my neck."God, I can’t even imagine what you must have been going through," she said softly.Her hands caresse

Jessica asked. Her hands were fixed on the wheel, but her eyes were locked on the mirror, watching me with concern on her face."Sterling Manor," I groaned, the words tasting bitter against my tongue.Jessica hovered her gaze towards me and I tilted my head.

Please, you can leave," he mumbled softly, tilting his head in the direction of where Eva stood."I guess it is time for a family discussion."Then he turned back to me. His smile was hollow—looked really harmless—but something in me always pricked my heart, that there may be more to this frail, sickly old man."Okay, sir. I will be back tomorrow to check your vitals."Felix’s grandfather gave a subtle nod. "God bless you, Eva."I rolled my eyes. Even though he was a deacon in church, he somehow raised trash as children.

"That really looks familiar, where did you get it from?"I clicked my tongue, my body leaning against the chair. She was persistent like a bee."It is none of your business. How many times do I have to spell it out for you?" I grumbled, and my gaze shifted back to Jessica.That playful smirk coursing through her lips effortlessly as she leaned against the table, her elbows pressing against the wood for support."That looks like somethi

It was unusual—I’d never felt this way with anyone, man or woman."That sudden urge to cover our distance and do all the fantasies I cooked up inside my head all these years.I took another deep breath, sinking onto my bed. Somehow her scent managed to linger. My nose tickled.Every time I closed my eyes, I could see her and It was driving me insaneI craved her, but she didn’t need that. Not now. Not from me.That was unusual because I never felt this way throughout my time with any man or woman.I've asked myself a thousand times.Why her? Out of all the people I've known, why does she still haunt me? Rebecca Belmont—my obsession. I looked down at the necklace I always wore, the one with her initial. As if it held a piece of her."Slowly, I caressed it.

"Are you sure you want to hear it? I can be quite demanding."His long lashes fanning slowly. "Can you keep up, Belmont?" What a joke. Did he think he could scare me like that?I was about to say something when his voice interrupted me and my words died inside my throat."Take me out to dinner then," he said, like it was the most natural thing in the world. My heart stuttered, and for a second, I forgot how to breathe. What game was he playing, and why did part of me want to play along?"What?" I blurted out just after him, but he crossed his arms."What is the problem, Belmont? Can't keep up?"I narrowed my gaze, letting my eyes wander over him. Kendrick Reyes didn't look like an easy man, and somehow a part of me didn’t see this coming like a coincidence like Jessica had mentioned.His eyes

My toes curled up against my flip-flops.I had heard that name countless times, but yet why did it have to feel so good coming from him?I narrowed my eyes slowly towards Kendrick, and our eyes met. Instinctively, my lips parted slightly. His gaze was sharp and so deep I was almost certain that he might be able to see right through me.I averted my gaze, only for my eyes to land on his bare chest. That was when I realized that my hands were on his abs.I froze again, with my chest heating up.Damn, did Kendrick always have such a nice body?I tilted my head and unconsciously brushed my hand over his tight, rock-board chest.The adrenaline shot up through my

Probably Jessica had put him up to this, right?"Thank you so much..." Straining my voice, my heels clicked slowly, taking the card from his hand, and then I grinned, the words sliding from my tongue.
