What he said had me worried.
I was in a hospital, and judging from my surroundings, I was in an expensive suite.
Alarm gripped me in worry.
I can’t afford to pay the exorbitant fees here. If truth be told, I cannot be hospitalized.
Hospital expenses would mean I will be buried deep in debt, and I can’t have that. I would rather save the money I will spend here for the children’s needs and expenses.
“What are you doing?” Marcus asked, askance when I started pulling on the IV drip attached to my wrists.

Martina POVOh my god!I was hyperventilating. The intensity in his gaze was too much.And his words.Was Marcus telling me something important here?What did I miss?My lips pursed, and my eyes felt pinpricks of pain.I shook my head.“I don’t deserve it, Marcus. I betrayed you and hurt you. You should be angry. You shouldn’t treat me kindly.”“Martina, listen. You already told me the real reason you left. That was enough explanation for me. From now on, I want us to leave the past behind and to start anew.”“But…but…” I stuttered. My chest constricted. My breathing became labored as I tried to assimilate what he meant.“Are you saying….” My voice trailed off.I was so afraid to voice out what was in my head.Shivers run down my spine at the inte

Martina POVThe door to the room burst open, and a team of doctors and nurses barged in on us. “What is wrong with the patient?” The head doctor asked, noting the way Marcus smothered me. Marcus pulled away and cleared his throat. “Doctor, when can we leave the hospital?” He asked with excitement that he could not contain and laced his voice. The doctor frowned. “Mrs. Ford still has two rounds of IV therapy. I thought I already explained she had to be admitted overnight.” I was surprised by the address. I never used Marcus’ last name before, and being addressed with it now feels surreal. It speaks of a permanency that I hadn’t thought about us. While I looked surprised, a quick look in Marcus’ direction told me how he was conflicted by the doctor’s verdict. I had to butt in. I was sure he was excited to meet our children. “I feel fine, doctor. Can we leave now and then come back tomorrow?” I asked and squeezed Marcus’s hand to tell him I got him on this. He squeezed back

Marcus POVI squeezed my eyes shut.“I should have listened to my instinct and not filed the divorce papers,” I said.My voice was full of regret. It caught Martina’s attention as she eyed me curiously.She tapped my hand, prompting me to cage her hand between mine.“I don’t blame you. I asked for it. I was the one who initiated the divorce, not you. Don’t think that I feel bad because you finished what I started.”Now, Martina was the one sounding remorseful.I

Marcus POVI grimaced when Martrina mentioned that part of the city where the poor live.I am not looking down on those people, but what pains me is knowing my children are living under those conditions.Their father is a billionaire, and Martina came from a wealthy family in Redwood but was forced to live in an impoverished community because of desperation.“I wanted to blame myself. I should have scoured the earth to find you, but what did I do? I moped and turned to drinking.”I sighed when the traffic lights turned red, and Martina tapped my hand.

Marcus POVThe twins looked curiously at me. But it was a quick look because they turned their attention back to their mother.When Martina got their attention, I saw her swallow to clear the lump in her throat before speaking, forcing a cheery note into her voice.At the same time, she addressed the two, looking enraptured by her voice and face.Their eyes were glued on their mother like she was the world to them. Their grins covered their chubby cheeks.They were plump and pink and smooth. I itched to touch them with my fingers.Then, Martina’s voice distracted

Marcus POVI pressed my face to their downy heads, closing my eyes as I inhaled their baby scent. The sweet feel of them in my arms was incomparable to anything I ever had in my entire life. It was wonderful. It was intoxicatingly sweet and powerful!I don’t feel like relinquishing my hold on them for a while. While I enjoyed cuddling my twins in my arms, I felt a light tap on my shoulder and opened my eyes to see Martina. Her tender expression was one I did not see all the time, and I basked in it. It was a rare kind of high. “Your muscles are going to be sore after some time. The kids, if you noticed, are not lightweight. Let us put them on the bed first, and then we will talk.” She informed me. Talk?My brows furrowed in confusion. What is there to talk about? I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket but ignored it. I don’t want to release my hold on the children yet. There was this yearning inside me like I could not get enough of them even when they were nestled in my arms

Martina POV“Are you sure you wanted us to live with you?” I asked Marcus.“Of course. It’s a non-negotiable for me, Martina. We will live as a family, which we should have done years ago. We shouldn’t have gotten a divorce.”“But what about Briana? Is she still mad at you?”Marcus sighed.“Briana will come around. Don’t let her become a problem for us. We lost years apart, and I don’t want to add to the number of days we weren’t together. I wanted to live together - you, me, Marky, and Macy.”

Martina POV“Why are you all here?”Marcus said to his three brothers as they barged into the house, heads turning around as if looking for something or someone. “You can not just drop a bomb and expect we are going to sit still and wait calmly at home,” Flint replied. “And who told you?” Marcus arched his brows, but his eyes pinned Rowan. His two brothers, Flint and Charles pointed in Rowan’s direction, exposing him to us. Rowan grinned, unaffected in the slightest. “I can’t keep calm about it. I have to tell them.” He responded, looking not the least bit guilty.Marcus could only shake his head. At about that time, the door to Marie’s bedroom opened. “Martina…” Her voice trailed off when she saw the four brothers for the first time. She was shocked! It was clearly written on her face. Marie bowed her head, unable to meet their eyes. Who wouldn’t when Redwood City’s royalty stepped into your home?The Four brothers looked spectacular, standing side by side. The four of th

Speechless! This word best describes what I was feeling right now. Do you know that you were amazing readers? Yes, you who stayed with me until this page. When I first started writing this story, I had so many trepidations. I did not think I would be able to pull this through. First, it has a little similarity to my previous novel, Billionaire Ex Wants Me Back, but my editor believed so much in my draft that she encouraged me to consider doing this. (My heartfelt thanks to Lyra Pinter, who had been a constant source of support.)My feeling of uncertainty magnified when I received so many attacks when the story was first published. Too many detractors lashed out at my characters that I had a hard time concentrating.I know what I wanted to do, but the first people who were vocal about the story did not give me enough encouragement. They did not give my characters a chance to redeem themselves as the story progresses. Fear grips me everytime I face the blank screen of my computer
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Chapter 472. Epilogue
Briana’s POVThe soul always knows how to heal itself. I had often heard that phrase before but it was never more gratingly obvious til now. After I volunteered to be Charles and Jenna’s surrogate, I had not counted on the pain the act would invariably inflict on me. At the start, it was all too easy. For 40 weeks, I would be carrying their baby in my womb, and that was it. Jenna and Charles will have that baby they desperately wanted. Of course, Noah and I submitted to counseling before I did this, but I never expected that when the time came that I had to turn over baby Amira to her parents, it would hit me so hard. I had not counted on how my self-sacrifice would backfire on me. It hurts so much. I was so heartbroken when I realized that Amira would no longer be a part of my life. Noah took me to several sessions of counseling, and with his support, I was able to get past the hurt and accept that Amira was not mine.The rest of the family helped. My brothers hovered over me
SORRY DEAR EX, IT'S YOUR LOSS, NOT MINE Author's Note
Hello my loves, Jenna and Charles’ story was one of the most painful stories I had written so far. It was because I had to dig up long-forgotten events in my life.But I had to do it for you to be able to understand the motives behind Jenna and Charles’ actions and the pain they invariably inflicted on each other. Jenna and Charles were both non confrontational. They keep things in stride and hope for the best, but sometimes even with the best intentions, our pain could not lay hidden for too long. It needed to be addressed and voiced out, not because you wanted to lash out at your partner or give them the same pain they were giving you.Sometimes, our silence is our cry for help. Or it was a way to protect ourselves. We retreated into the inner recesses of our soul to find solace and comfort because the people we expected to comfort and provide solace for us could not hear our cry for help.But all’s well that ends well. Am glad for those people who had requested me to do a story
