Ivan could not pinpoint why he was disappointed. He was sure the child wasn't his but he could not understand why he wished it was. He turns to Autumn who laid in shock and immediately his stomach turned. Autumn had finally brainwashed him that he could not help but extend pity towards her. He hated himself for falling for her traps and hated her more for making him feel such a way.
His eyes widened as he glared at the scornful woman in front of him. "Our marriage ends today, I'll have my lawyers send you the divorce papers." He furiously storms out, followed by the doctor and then Iris. Autumn was left stunned with her parents, she could not understand how the results were wrong. She turned to them with teary eyes, her throat was burning and her head was aching as she spoke. "Mom, Dad, believe me, the baby is Ivan's." She cried hoping her parents would take her side but they looked at her in disgust. "Are you that attention starved that you pulled a stunt like this? After all what Ivan did for you, you had an affair?" Her mother cried, casually breaking into a sob. Autumn heart shattered at her mother's remarks, how could they just believe that she had an affair? they were the one who insulted her relentlessly for not leaving Ivan for Iris. They would call her all sort of names because of her obsession with Ivan, they knew how much she went through because of him, they saw it and all of a sudden they just believed she had an affair? "Where did we go wrong with you?" Her mother added. Autumn felt her world shaking, her father held her by the collar, violently shaking her. "Who's the father?" He asked. "It's Ivan.." a slap went across her face. "You know what I'll kill you, how dare you lie to my face?" Before her father could pounce on her, her mother used up all her strength to hold Mr Dawson back. Soon the nurses ran in trying to get him out of the room. "Henceforth you're no longer a Dawson, I regret ever bringing you into this world." Autumn's heart broke. It felt as if she was going crazy. The results must have been wrong, there's no way the baby was not Ivan's. She got up stripping away the IV drops attached to her and rushed to find the doctor that had conducted the test. There must have been some kind of defect when he ran the tests. She traced his office but before she could knock she heard the sound of a couple moaning. She hesitated, the sound soon became familiar until she heard the sound of the woman raising her pitch in excitement. "Dexter, oh my." Autumn froze, that was none other than Iris. How did she know the doctor? And what kind of relationship do they have. "Who's better Iris, me or him." The Doctor rapidly said in an audible groan. "Dexter please." She squirmed even more. Autumn already prepared herself to barge into them, she can't believe Iris was cheating on Ivan. Soon the pleasurable sound of their moans died down and soon enough they began having an actual conversation. "What if she runs another test in another hospital?" Iris seethes in rage, rushing to put her clothes back on. "Like anyone would believe her, right now she's a slut who cheated on her husband she'll just look desperate, no one will take her seriously." Dexter assured her, quickly dressing up as well. "Besides if you want you can tell Ivan to have her abort the baby, he'll do anything you say." He suggested as Autumn's heart lept from her chest. She was about to leave until she heard her name being called. She turns to see Ivan who's glare seems more colder than ever. "What are you doing here?" Ivan asked, she suddenly felt the office become quiet. Suddenly Iris scream erupted the atmosphere and immediately Ivan pushed Autumn out of the way to get to his endangered bride. He opens the door to see Iris crying. He looks at the doctor and glares at him. "What did you do to her?" He asked in an icy tone. Iris flicks away her tears pulling off an angelic feat. "Ivan, I'm pregnant, you're going to be a father."Ivan immediately embraces Iris in his arms. Autumn ought to raise her voice but she felt a lump against her throat.Her eyes met with the doctor, he scornfully glances at Ivan, she could tell he was in love with Iris. "I love you so much." Ivan tells Iris and that finally broke Autumn. A tear stream down her sockets.Autumn could recall by memory how many times she had begged this man to love her. She always thought he was incapable of saying it to her or any other woman. How deluded she really was, Ivan was never incapable of ever saying it, he just didn't care to say it to her. He did not love her and just finally coming to terms to it was painful, it was as if Ivan had slapped her in the face. Why did she even fall in love with this man? Why had she agree to marry him. If only she didn't spend that drunken night with him she wouldn't be in this situation. "Ivan." Autumn calls him, he turns his back sealing his once tender gaze with an icy stare."What are you still doing here? Y
Autumn could barely move, but she heard the shaky voice of Felicity making a call on speaker and she could recognize that nagging spoilt voice over the phone.It was Iris.Autumn has many regrets all of a sudden she regrets ever meeting Ivan, she regrets ever marrying him and she regrets encouraging Iris bad behavior that eventually led to this. If she could go back she would make sure to undo everything even if it was three years back.Instantly Autumn numbness disappears, she gasps as her surroundings were still blur but she wasn't in the same position at the floor. She was at a party, not any party she was at her and Ivan's nine year anniversary party. Her eyes lingered at the huge banner, confusion washes over her as she tries to figure out if this was just her life flashing before her eyes. If it was, why this memory. This was the first time Ivan had propose a divorce and also the time Ivan introduced Iris as his mistress.She remembers it exactly, Ivan makes a toast and then ha
The only person that could end the marriage between Autumn Dawson and Ivan Ashton was, Maverick Ashton, Ivan's biological father. The only reason he ordained their marriage was because of a scandal years back, the media had caught the two in bed and to save face, Maverick forced the two into a marriage of convenience. Maverick sat down in his seat as he watched his son over his desk. He had a cup of coffee in his grasps he eyes Ivan who had ignored eye contact during the entire meeting. His wife sat next to him visibly shaking. The cup parted away from his lips and in a swift motion he collided the cup against Ivan's head. Miriam, Ivan's mother sobbed as she watch her son sit in place. Blood seep slowly from Ivan's forehead but that was the least of what Maverick wanted to inflict on Ivan. "So how the fuck are you going to fix this huh? You damn bastard." Maverick hissed raising his voice. Ivan's silence pissed him even more. The least he could do was have balls and talk back afte
Autumn puts her phone down. She put her phone on silent to ignore Ivan's calls. She was shocked he even called her in the first place it's something he has never done in her past life. She continued looking around the mansion her father in-law got for her and Ivan. She looked at the floor she laid on when she died. "Was this a second chance?" She gasps to herself. So she did really die. And somehow she went back three years in the past. Then her mind went back to the person who instigated her death, Iris. Her hands went straight to her stomach. The cold empty void then overwhelmed her, she had lost her baby in her past life. Once again anger washed over her and a single tear stream down her cheek. "Miss Autumn, your lunch is ready." she suddenly got flashbacks from Felicity poisoning me. Autumn froze, her face went white and her cheeks blushed, filling a bit of color in her face. Her heart raced as she my voice trembled. "Miss Autumn are you okay?" The maid asked. Autumn looked o
Ivan's eyes widened, his face was written shocked all over it, his palm ball into a fist as anger surge through him."Who is he?" He asked in a calm voice."Who is the fucking bastard you're opening your legs to." Autumn wasn't shocked by the slightest, this was the same man who accused her of an affair and didn't believe their child was theirs.Autumn tried to turn away, but Ivan's grip was unyielding. He grasped her arm, his fingers digging into her skin as he forced her to face him. His eyes, once warm and loving, now burned with a desperate intensity."Baby, please," he whispered, his voice laced with a hint of desperation.Autumn's eyes widened in shock, but her primary focus was on escaping Ivan's suffocating hold. She tried to wriggle free, but he refused to release her."I-I'm sorry, Autumn," Ivan stammered, his words tumbling out in a rush. "Please, give me another chance. You don't need to lie to me about your affair."Autumn's gaze narrowed, her eyes squinting as if asking
Iris stood at the edge of her hospital bed as the nurse ties up her patient gown from the back. The nurse finished adjusting her gown and goes straight to attending to the monitor before returning to Iris who was already in the hospital bed. The nurse stretch out her hand requesting for Iris to give her hand so she can attach the hypodermic needle to her veins.Iris locks eyes with the nurse and yawns."I don't need that, your job is done here." Iris said not wanting to feel the painful prick of a needle in her veins."But I'm ordered to.." before the nurse could finish her words Iris glares at her, shutting her up."I said your job is fucking done, listen to me if you still want to keep it." Iris threatens as the door Opens almost immediately revealing doctor Dexter.Her eyes widened, and tears sprang to them at once. Dexter, alerted to her distress, stepped forward and gently took her face in his hands, his gaze fixed on the trembling line of her lips."What happened?" Dexter's att
Guilt washed over Ivan the moment his eyes registered the patient gown Iris wore. He should never had ignored her calls and because of him she was in this state once again. His eyes meets with her doctor Dexter, they were always simmered with intense hatred but he never understood why. If it wasn't for Autumn, Iris would not have been here and he wouldn't have grown accustomed to seeing the doctor's face. "Leave us." Ivan ordered. The silence that followed was loud and clear. Ben and Dexter sought to stay but Sydney being the peace make convinced the two to give the couple alone time. Ben looked at his daughter, he doesn't know how long she would hold on to Ivan and he felt bad for her. He felt his wife's warm pat, hovering over her back. "They'll be fine, let's respect their wishes." Sydney reassured her husband who just gave up but Dexter took a while before he was successfully evacuated. The two were finally alone, Ivan searched for Iris face but she avoided his gaze. He walke
As Ivan relished Iris in bed, Autumn had witnessed her husband's love for Iris, the second time. She hated it but tears swarmed her eyes and clouded her vision. It was always Iris and never her. Her own parents even chose Iris without no second thinking, there was never a time she was the first choice. When was she finally going to be someone's first choice? She wiped her entire face, smearing the little makeup she had done. A handkerchief hang in the air, hovering across her face. Her eyes trail to the person pushing it towards her. A chill went down her spine, she has never confronted him since her previous life and she never thought she would see him so quickly. Memories of how he claimed her child was stillborn flooded there thoughts. He must have had a hand in killing her because of his affair with Iris. That meant he killed her unborn baby too. The thing that disgusted her the most was her father's younger step brother was having an affair with his niece, it made h
