Her Ex-husband's Deception The Accident
Skylar’s POVI quietly walk into Lorenzo’s room. I take in his little form, soft snores escaping his partly opened lips as he sleeps. My heart aches as I imagine him asking Emilio, if Mommy still wants him. Tears fall down my face as I recall Emilio’s words to me earlier. I can’t believe that I’d be so blinded by my own misery, that I would neglect my own son! I can’t help but feel repulsed at my recent attitude towards Lorenzo. And Val! Oh God! The little girl must have felt so sad that her favorite Aunt ignored her. I carefully pick up Lorenzo and maneuver our position so that I’m sitting against the headboard with him in my arms. He snuggles into me and I rock us both, mumbling apologies and stroking his hair. I feel him shift a little so I look down, just in time to see him blink his eyes open.“Mommy?” he sleepily questions. “Yes, my love. Go back to sleep. Mommy’s here.” I tell him, gently caressing his cheek. “I missed you so much..” he sleepily mumbles, rubbing his fa
Her Ex-husband's Deception Hold Me
The walk to room 205 in the hospital, that Emilio is currently occupying, feels like the longest walk of my life. The atmosphere is gloomy and sad as I wonder what to say to Valentina, bout her father, and Lorenzo, bout his uncle. When we get to the door, I turn towards Jason.“I’m going to go in first. Could you watch the children?” He gives me a curt nod and I turn towards Val and Lorenzo, already sitting in the benches outside the room. They both look like they’ll fall asleep any second now. I smile softly and go to place them as comfortable as possible.Jason takes a set beside Val and picks up Lorenzo. He places Val’s head on his lap and mouths ‘don’t worry’ to me. I take a deep breath and turn to Emilio’s room door. My hand trembles as I reach for the door handle and open it. The sight that greets me when I walk into the room, makes my heart drop to my stomach.I quickly make my way to the side of the bed and grab his hand, careful of the peg that’s helping to monitor his v
Her Ex-husband's Deception It's a match!
Jason’s POVI take my time driving to the house. I still have to talk to Alexandra about our relationship. We haven’t really had a conversation with each other in months and she seems to not be bothered about it. I mentally decide to push away the impending break up in favor of giving my attention to Skylar. Maybe I should use this opportunity to talk to her and get her back.When I walk into the house, I find that the lights are off. My parents and Jared have probably retired to bed. I quietly make my way upstairs and into my room. I turn on the lights and I’m shocked to find Jared asleep on my bed. I try to do my nightly routine as quietly as I can but I end up waking Jared up when I try to climb unto the bed.“Go to sleep, buddy. It’s just me.” I whisper to him tucking him in properly and stroking his head. “Daddy?... I had a bad dream..” he says. I frown a little and pull him close. “Daddy’s here now. No more bad dreams, okay?” I peck his cheek. “Now go to sleep, hm?” When
Her Ex-husband's Deception Reunion
Skylar’s POVI stand frozen in the hospital room as I mule over the information the doctor just gave. Emilio?... My brother? Ha! I burst out laughing suddenly. The doctor is startled by my laughter and Jason looks shocked. He knows my brother is gone. When I calm down from my sudden laughing spree, I turn to address the doctor, wiping years from my eyes.“When I said that I was Emilio’s sister, I didn’t mean it biologically. We’ve stayed together for four years now and asides his distant siblings in Italy, I’m the only family he has here. Also he’s adopted, that’s why I didn’t see the point in asking his siblings to get tested.”The doctor looks at me quizzically before speaking. “Oh! I just thought because when we performed some tests on him the surgery, he popped up in the system as a 'Pearce Daniel Woods’. You’re a ‘Woods' too right?... I just assumed because of the name…”The doctor keeps talking, but I’m unable to get any of his words into my head. I turn towards the bed, ta
Her Ex-husband's Deception Confrontations
I’m allowed to go home the evening of the surgery and Jason insists on staying in the house with me and the kids. I try to make him leave but he blatantly ignores me and proceeds to make himself at home. He even chases me into my room and gives me strict instructions to rest. I follow his orders because I feel exhausted from the whole procedure. Emilio will have to get an engraftment before he can come home. The doctor said it will depend on his healing process. It was safe to say that dinner that evening was a tense affair. I was sure that by now Jason would have been wondering why I haven’t come to him, asking about Jared. It seems the kids also noticed that I wasn’t in the mood to entertain them, that or the fact that they were also terribly exhausted. They ate fairly quickly and without any mishaps and soon they were off to bed. Valentina could put herself to bed and I only had to come in and wish her a good night. While I was tucking Enzo in bed, I couldn’t help but be annoyed b
Her Ex-husband's Deception A moment
Jason’s POVI can’t believe that I’m not the kid’s father. He looks so much like me and I just assumed that he was mine. I was kind of hoping that she’ll tell me he was mine.I walk into the guest room next to Skylar’s room and take off my jacket. I make myself comfortable on the bed, but it seems as though I’m laying in bricks.After a while of tossing and turning in bed, I get up and move in the direction of the stairs. If I can’t sleep, I might as well just have some coffee and start on some work I’ve left piled up. I go through my phone as I move down the hallway, noting how several of the missed calls I have are from Alexandra. 'I really have to break things off with her.’ I think to my self, groaning deeply at the reminder.A whimper bring me back to focus. I look in the direction of the sound and notice it’s coming from Lorenzo’s room. I don’t waste any time in opening the door and rushing to the tiny figure, curled up on the bed. The red, puffy eyes that peek up out of the
Her Ex-husband's Deception My Brother
Skylar’s POVThe next morning’s events are awkward to say the least. Firstly, we happen to sleep in for an extra hour and we both wake up to Jason’s phone ringing. Twice. The first call is from his work. The second call happens to come from his parents. I get to listen to him and Jared talk while he gets ready for school and even until he gets into the car, to head to school. I burst in tears after the call again and while Jason tries to console me, Valentina walks into the room, frantically yelling something along the lines of ‘Aunty Skylar and Uncle Jay, have been eaten by the monster’. In a bid to pull away from each other quickly, Jason ends up hitting Lorenzo with his hand, effectively scaring him awake.Lorenzo promptly burst into tears from being disturbed. When he spots me, he motions for me to pick him up. I reach out for him but when he takes note of the tear tracks on my face, he turns to Jason and starts to hit him for ‘making his mommy cry’. Its a hassle to calm him d
Her Ex-husband's Deception Confrontations
Jason’s POVI spend some time talking with Skylar. She seemed sceptical when I told her of my plan to work on us. I couldn’t out rightly tell her that I have come to the realization that I’m so madly in love though. Yes. I am in fact in love with my ex wife. After the divorce, I noticed that I kept subconsciously thinking of her. I could be working in the office and she would randomly pop into my brain. I thought at first that it could be because I’d spent a lot of time with her, but then I’d start to hear her voice when Alex and I talk or when we’re being intimate. And then I tried to find her, because Jared wasn’t in the best condition health wise, and because I needed to quench this itch to know where she was and what she was up to. It’s safe to say that I went crazy when I couldn’t find her. I couldn’t eat, couldn’t work. I couldn’t think properly and it made me mad. I couldn’t find the same feelings in my relationship with Alexandra, and I started to wonder. Once, I had ar
