SANDRA’S POV.
“Mum,” I called her and she turned around excitedly, flashing me a beautiful smile.
That was the least I could do for this grumpy fellow that called himself my husband.
I was sure that I saw him breath in relief, but still—he didn’t even thank me when it was very obvious that he was grateful.
“My daughter,” His mum said, and held my hand—pulling me out along with her.
She loved me, and it was very evident in her eyes making me excited.
She was the only one that I could vouch for loved me in that groove—because I noticed some weird look on the faces of other people when they saw me.
But still—I heard my mother-in-law say “You’re the best bride for my son,” She said, making me turn to have a look at her shockingly.
“You think I’m the best bride for Eric?” I asked with a creased brow and she chuckled slightly.
“I know that you are,” She said, making me slightly emotional.
I engulfed her in a tight hug, as my mind drifted to what happened at the engagement ceremony and how he had refused to acknowledge the fact that I was his mate—which resulted to the rejection.
“Thank you,” I flashed her a smile the moment I pulled out of the hug.
She returned the smile and walked out, making me look around in awe till I sighted him.
My throat became parched and I saw a waiter walking out with a drink in a tray when I called for him and took the drink...
I noticed his eyes widened, but I didn’t really pay attention to him and gulped everything at once before returning the cup to his tray and walking out of his presence.
I walked to the room which I was told was mine with the thought of just arranging my stuffs and returning back to the party when I began to feel weird....
The feeling was strange as I haven’t felt that way before—
It slowly started as a light heat, but then—it became a full fledged heat....
I couldn’t control myself again—and I just wanted someone to lay with me as that was the only way I’d feel better.
I didn’t have control of myself again and began to wonder who I’d call—but still, the thought of calling Eric crossed my mind but I knew how he’d react.
He would not sleep with me, not after showing me how much he hated me today.
The thought of calling a guard flashed my mind, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that on my first day in the groove.
I laid down on my bed with closed eyes as the heat became unbearable—and I decided to finger myself.
It all started with a finger before it graduated to three fingers, but still—it didn’t help the matter.
I was sweating profusely, and when I opened my eyes to figure out what could be done—I saw Eric standing in front of the bed watching what I was doing..
I flushed in embarrassment but then—I couldn’t be shy as I needed something to solve my sudden cravenness for sex.
A sly smile appeared on my lips when I sighed his boner and knew how he must be hard—
“Wouldn’t you like to have a taste of me now?” I asked, taking slow strides towards him making him move backwards in shock.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about....” He muttered as he walked backwards.
“Even that?” I stopped and pointed at his hard dick which was bulging out of his trousers.
“I still don’t know what you’re talking about,” He said and continued... “I wanted to check up on you, but I just figured out that you were busy,” He said and made to leave when I touched his dick in his trousers, and a light smile appeared on my lips.
I was sure that if he was going to leave my room like that, then he’d have sex with another lady—but since we both needed it, why isn’t he giving it to me?
“I’d suggest you get rid of your pride—we both need this, so why don’t you want to do it with me?” I asked him, touching his dick—until I couldn’t control myself and slipped my hands inside his trousers.
He groaned and slammed his lips against mine—pushing me to the wall.
Then the rest was all a story...
I woke up the next morning to see him sleeping beside me and a small smile appeared on my lips.
I was happy that he didn’t entirely hate me as it seemed and finally had sex with me, but still, I was bothered.
“Could it be that he slept with me because I begged him for it?” I facepalmed myself and hissed slightly.
I wasn’t the type to beg me men for sex, Infact I was still a Virgin who lost her virginity last night.
“Why would I suddenly be craving for sex to the extent of begging a man for it, or even thinking of asking a guard for it?” I wondered and slapped myself really hard...
It was so unusual, but I just couldn’t place a finger on what must have gone wrong.
I began to wonder what happened through out yesterday but I still couldn’t pin point what exactly must have made me react that way.
“Or could it be stress?” I wondered slightly as I bit my lips.
I began to take in most of his sleeping features and I knew for sure that he was a handsome man....
I was still staring at him as I smiled beautiful when his eyes flew open—shooting glares at me.
He sprang up from the bed and wore his boxers before picking the rest of his things and walked out of my room....without even sparing me a glance it the process.
“What just happened?” I wondered as a painful smile appeared on my lips.
This simple act of his made it obvious that there was nothing that could be done to make him love me.
“Gosh,” I facepalmed myself.
SANDRA’S POV. It was painful!I was broken and hurt!How could he just act like nothing happened?“We both had sex and he left me like that, after shooting me a cold glare?” I wondered in surprise before hissing slightly. I had a little hope left in me after we had sex but everything disappeared as soon as he exhibited his character. I became hopeless once again!“Why?” I just couldn’t help but ask myself....His act just destroyed my hope of rekindling our relationship, and make him fall in love with me. But then—it wasn’t possible!There was no way that I’ll be comfortable in a house like that, and I suddenly got an Idea. The thought of running away!That was the only thing that bothered me that instant—as I became confused on how I’d run away without anyone noticing anything. “Where would I go?”“Who do I know?” “How do I escape?”These were the only questions that bothered me deeply, and still—I couldn’t find any answers to this...The only thing I knew was that I just had
SANDRA POV"Congratulations, ma'am! You're having twins." Another nurse who was watching me cheered, confirming the words that were already ringing inside my ears.She kept talking, but her words slowly faded as my breath hitched.My vision began to blur, and my head started aching."Ma'am, are you okay?" she asked as her hands found their way to my arm.But my mind had left my body. The big question popped into my head.How could I be pregnant? It was not even possible.And then my eyes flickered with realization.That night with Eric— that was the only explanation I could give myself because he was the only man I had ever been intimate with."What am I going to do?" I gritted my teeth in pain as my hand grabbed my shirt."Calm down, miss," the nurse urged with a smile.After I left the hospital, I went back home to Claire's house. She was my best friend, and I was really grateful she didn't abandon me at a time like this.As the door clicked open, Claire pulled me into a hug as she
SANDRA POV"Dad..." My hands quickly moved to muffle the sound inside his mouth before he could speak another word.I could feel all eyes on me, but I didn’t dare raise my gaze to them. Thankfully, my back was to Eric, so he couldn't see my face."Keep it down, Hayden. That's not your dad, okay?" I hushed him, and his shoulders slumped. His lips parted, ready to argue, but I stepped in quickly."Sweetheart, that's not your dad. Why don't you stay here and be a good boy while Mommy goes to get you some ice cream?"Hayden nodded, and I sighed in relief. I was glad that problem was solved.I turned over to get the order. My throat felt dry, and my legs started to feel heavy because I could feel his gaze burning into my back—or was I just overthinking?"I'll take a—""Isn't that your kid going over to another table?"Granny, the owner of the diner, strained her eyes, and my heart sank. That boy wouldn’t.All the words I wanted to say left my throat instantly when I saw Hayden sneaking up
SANDRA'S POVI couldn't believe Mrs. Axel, my former mother-in-law, was here.How did she find me? It was obvious that Eric had run his mouth, and now she was here."My child, how have you been all these years?" she asked, the emotions dripping from her voice.I thought she was going to scold me for running away all these years, but she didn't. Rather, she looked really happy to see me."I've... I've been fine..." I stuttered as I felt tears filling up my eyes.Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that I would see her because when I left, I swore I was never coming back."You unfilial child, won't you hug your mother?" Mrs. Axel broke into tears, and I quickly hugged her.Being with her made me a little bit at ease because a lot of things were not making sense to me. But the moment her hand wrapped around my body, I felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders."I missed you so much," I said softly, not even knowing when the words slipped out."If you missed
Sandra's POV"He didn’t tell me exactly, but I knew he was. No matter how many times I tried to set him up with another lady, he would always come up with excuses," Mrs. Axel clicked her tongue.For some reason, my heart dropped. "You tried to set him up with other ladies?" I asked curiously."That was because I was testing him, but he wouldn't dare admit he was missing you," Mrs. Axel shook her head."Honestly, we both thought something must have happened to you and you died because after searching for so long, there was no news."My heart ached just thinking about how she must have felt, but that didn't stop me from wondering if what she said was true or if she was just bluffing. If there was something I knew about Mrs. Axel, it was that she had a very creative imagination.I didn't want to get my hopes up.Then I slapped myself inwardly. Why would I be getting my hopes up? There was no future between Eric and me then, or even now."I'm really sorry, Mother, but with everything that
Sandra's POVI noticed the woman by his side was Susan, and I couldn't help but frown. The moment she caught sight of me, her smile faltered for a moment.I couldn't tell if it was shock or something else."My goodness, Sandra, is that you?" she mumbled, her eyes filled with a stern gaze as if she was unwilling to believe what was already standing in front of her eyes."Good day, Miss," I greeted warmly, trying not to sound too formal.When I ran away, I left that life behind, so what was the point of reminiscing about the past?Clarie noticed something was off as we both dropped to her side. She leaned in closely, her voice coming in a soft whisper."What's up? Are you okay?"I nodded, taking a deep breath. I let Clarie handle the discussion with Eric. I didn't want to get involved, and I made sure to keep our conversation as brief as possible."Thank you so much for your time," Clarie said as we both stood up.The meeting had been finalized, and he offered to give us the contract. I
Hayden was not saying anything, and it only made me realize that my son was lying. But I didn’t want to make him feel bad.Whatever he was hiding, I had my ways to find out—and I would.“Mom, can we go now? I’m starving,” Hayley groaned from inside the car.She was already seated inside with Clarie.“Come on, Hayden, let’s go.” I smiled, stretching out my palm to my son, and he took it gladly.“Okay, Mummy,” Hayden mumbled.After we got home, the day ran by really fast, and when I checked the clock, it was already past eight. Now, it was time to put my little plan into action.Thankfully, the kids were already asleep. My feet met the earth as I stood up, snatching my black robe from the corner, and I slipped out of my room.“No, I shouldn’t be invading my son’s privacy,” I halted halfway, my hand curling into a fist.Then I shook my head with determination.“He’s just five. What does he know about privacy?” I clicked my tongue in disapproval and marched out.I didn’t know why I starte
Sandra's POV"Mummy," Hayley muttered as she stood up from the bed."Sweetheart."I went over to cuddle her in my arms as she held me close."I'm sorry, did I wake you?" I asked calmly.Now that the attention had been shifted, I wouldn't have to answer Hayden’s question.I held both of them in my arms."I'm sorry, pumpkins. Why don't you go to sleep, and tomorrow we can talk?" I said, and Hayden nodded.The next morning, Claire took them to school, and I knew it was time to face my fear.I got to the office and took out the file containing all of Eric’s information. My hands hovered with hesitation as I stared at the keyboard. I had to speak to him, but that meant I would have to see him.With an exasperated sigh, I dialed his number and waited. I paced around the room, but the line went silent."Oh great, he's not picking up my calls," I hissed and decided to focus on work.I buried myself in work, and it actually helped quite a lot to take my mind off things.My phone buzzed inside
Sandra's povMy whole world spun in an instant as a wave of emotions washed over me. It was as if I was running a marathon, my airways clogged, making it hard to breathe.I opened my mouth to speak, but the words died inside me as I stared at him. Every day, I reminded myself that Eric wasn’t worth it, that it was better to forget than drown in this endless cycle of emotions. Yet here I was, still affected by his words, even though he was the man who hurt me so badly.“Sandra, I know what I did wasn’t fair to you, but please… can you find it in your heart to—”Panic soared through me, and I gritted my teeth.“I don’t want to hear it from you,” I exhaled sharply.I tried to steady my voice, but the more I forced the words out, the more it felt like my chest was splitting open. It was just too much.All these years—aside from my kids—one of the only reasons I had made it this far in life was because I spent the last five years trying to hate him. I used his rejection as fuel for my ambi
