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 to run, and not look back because I wasn’t welcomed here.
I decided to calm down and watch how things would unfold—but I knew that if I had left immediately, it would be that I have done something unforgivable to my mother-in-law.
I also decided to calm down, who knows—my husband might end up loving me.....
All these were just a fantasy when weeks passed and he was still giving me these silent treatment.
He never waned me to stay close to him, or at least touch him.
He also avoided me as if I was a plague, but then—I didn’t have anything to say or think again.
It was painful—
I had to leave, and my mind was made up!
I’d leave tonight, when everyone was sleeping.....
I didn’t known my way around that groove, but I didn’t care much because I had all the night to myself to run away—
It’d be daybreak before they’d notice my absence, and by then—I’d have gone very far.
It was the day—so I packed all my stuffs into the box I came with and hid it in my closet without making anyone suspicious of the fact that I wanted to run.
Still, I wanted to spend time with my mother-in-law—so I went to meet her in her room and hugged her tightly shocking her to the core.
“Are you okay Sandra?” She asked and I nodded, flashing her a beautiful smile.
“You know how much I love you right?” I asked and she nodded with a smile...
“You should also know that I love you the same way,” She said making me blush...
This was the only person I was going to miss if I eventually ran away....
She was the only one who stood by me when I was in distress—so leaving her that way was hurtful.
“No matter what happens—I don’t want you to ever doubt your love for me,” I said to her making her pause and turn to stare at me confusingly.
“What’s happening?”
“Is there something you aren’t telling me?” She questioned with a narrowed eyes and I shook my head.
“Nothing at all—just wanted you to be aware of this fact,” I said, and she nodded with smiles written all over her face.
“Come here,” She said and pulled me in a tight hug.
My eyes was misty, because I felt loved in this new environment—all thanks to her.
“But then—was it right for me to repay her in this manner?” I wondered, facepalming myself in the process.
Slowly, I pulled out of the hug and kissed her cheeks before running out of her room—with happiness written all over my face.
After taking few steps out of her room—I could hear her chuckles, and for reason—I felt excited to be the reason behind them.
I suddenly thought about something—seeing Eric one last time wasn’t a bad idea...
I tiptoed to his room and saw him reading a book—he was so engrossed in the book and that was why he didn’t notice my presence.
Smiling softly, I walked out of there to my room and decided to wait for a while for everyone to fall asleep before leaving.
I tucked myself to bed, and sighed deeply when I remembered what was in store for me.
This could probably be the last time that I would sleep in a comfortable bed, but still—I needed to leave here since I wasn’t welcomed by my so-called husband.
That urge suddenly came again, and I rushed out of my bed towards the bathroom to throw up—
For some days now, I’ve been weak—and I’ve been throwing up seriously—confusing me on the kind of sickness it was.
After rinsing my mouth—I walked out of the bathroom and decided to see a doctor before eventually running away.
I needed to know the kind of sickness it was—
I sat on my bed, lost in thought as I wondered on the kind of sickness it was since it’s been a while I fell sick and my father kept saying it was because I was a rare breed of a silver omega.
When I was sure that everyone had slept, I walked out of my room with my box in my hand—and headed out of the mansion before walking out of gate slowly but quietly—
I was sure nobody was expecting me to run—and that was the main reason why the security wasn’t tight.
I carried my box on my bead until I sighted a hospital afar and I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.
I needed to get this over with!
They were going to conduct a test on me, and I wished silently that the results come quickly so I’d be able to run far before the notice my absence from the palace.
Rushing into the hospital, I sighted a nurse and called her...
“It comprises of throwing up, dizziness and weakness,” I told her the symptoms of what the problem was and she smiled and pulled me towards a room before she conducted a test on me.
It didn’t stay up to five minutes and she tapped me.
“Please wait outside while the result is being processed,” She said and I nodded, walking out of the room towards the waiting room.
I waited for what seemed like forever, before breathing in relief when I saw the nurse coming out with a paper in hand.
“Here’s the result,” She said and flashed me a smile before she walked out.
I opened the envelope slowly, and glanced at it for a second before my eyes widened in shock—
“What?” I exclaimed, the paper falling off from my hand.
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
