139 – DAMNED LOVE
Last Updated:
2025-04-03 11:03:11POV: HENRY
When her body started to tremble and all the color drained from her skin, I found myself on the verge of giving in. I wanted to pull her into my arms, feel her warmth collapse against my chest, calm every sob, and wipe away every tear falling from those sweet, terrified eyes. I wanted to promise her that everything would be okay—even with chaos exploding inside me—because, damn it… I love her. Furthermore, I love her with a force that scares me. Like I’ve never loved anyone before.
But the love I felt clashed violently with the bitter taste of disappointment.
“In the end, Lauren.” I said, my voice lower and colder than I meant it to be, “The media was right about you.”
I sat on the edge of the bed, elbows resting on my knees, hands clasped in front of my rigid body. She stood frozen by the door, sobbing, her shoulders shaking in silence. Her trembling fin

POV: HENRY“And worse… How is Theo going to handle all of this?” I murmured, shattered, rubbing my hands over my exhausted face. My body was trembling from fatigue, my mind throbbing with the avalanche of emotions crashing down on me. That’s when my phone vibrated on the table.I glanced at the caller ID. Lucian.I took a deep breath, trying to push back the weight of the frustration crushing me. Still lost in my thoughts, I answered.“Talk,” I said, my voice rough and broken.“She didn’t believe you?” Lucian picked up on my tone immediately.I swallowed hard, a wave of pain slicing through my chest. My eyes instinctively drifted toward the door—the same door Lauren had walked out of without looking back.“It doesn’t matter anymore,” I murmured, anger pulsing beneath my skin

POV: LAURENI arrived at the mansion dragging my feet, my body, and my soul in pieces. Every step felt like carrying the weight of the world on my back. My eyes were swollen from crying the entire way. I could barely breathe, my chest tight, suffocated by a pain that burned from the inside out.I went straight to the bedroom without saying a word to anyone. Furthermore, I started tossing clothes into the suitcase with quick, clumsy, desperate movements. My hands were shaking. Everything seemed to spin. The air in the room felt thick, almost unbreathable. My fingers clutched the fabric, like somehow that would give me control over the situation. But I was falling apart.That’s when I heard a sob behind me. I turned around and saw my mother standing in the doorway. Her face was pale, and her eyes filled with tears.“Is it true?” Her voice came out shaky, almost unrecognizable. “Did he really cheat on you?”I swallowed hard, feeling my throat burn. The tears returned, uncontrollably.“Ye

POV: LAURENI took a step forward, arms outstretched, but he stepped back, his eyes shining with pain and fear. My chest tightened from his rejection.“I love you. You will always be my son,” I continued, my voice faltering. “And of course you’ll be able to see your sister. That won’t change.”“It’s a girl?” He stopped retreating. His eyes widened in surprise, then slowly dropped to my belly. He stared at it like he was only just now realizing the truth. “I want to see her every day. I want to play with her, sing her to sleep, give her baths, and tell her stories. You can’t leave. I won’t let you. I want Grandma here too!”“Theodor, please, listen to me.” I tried once again, my whole body trembling.“No!” he shouted in anger, and in a sudden burst, he threw his backpack hard to the floor. The sharp thud echoed through the room. “I won’t lose my family again!” His eyes filled with tears, and his breathing was ragged. “Where’s Uncle Henry? Why is he letting this happen?”“Theo…” I tried

POV: LAURENI lifted my head immediately, not sure if I had heard him right. My lips parted, unable to process what he had just said.“Theo, you’re too young to understand,” I said with difficulty, trying to stay calm. “This baby doesn’t have your uncle’s blood and—”“So what?” he cut me off, his voice choked, eyes brimming with tears as he stared at me. “Uncle Henry raises me like a son, and he’s not my dad. But he loves me like he is!”“It’s different, little man. You have my blood—you’re my nephew,” Henry sighed heavily, standing up and pulling Theo into a hug.But Theodor shoved him away forcefully.“Then take my blood out!” he shouted, angrily stretching out his arm. “Take it out and put it in the baby; that way you’ll accept her as your

POV: LAURENHe then turned to Carter, pointing a finger at him with indignation; his voice choked but filled with a courage that seemed bigger than him.“I thought you’d protect our family! That you’d take care of the fairy and my sister the way you take care of me!” His voice cracked in a sob, but he kept going. “But just because they don’t have your blood, you think you can throw them away?! I hate you for that!”Before any of us could react, Theodor turned and ran off, slamming the bedroom door hard before locking himself inside. The sound echoed through the entire house.I stood frozen, as if my body had shut down. My hands were shaking, my chest was burning, and the silence that followed was deafening. I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know what to do. All I could feel was the weight of the world crushing my shoulders while the heart of a child shattered

POV: HENRYI stood there for a long time, watching the car disappear into the distance, in complete silence. The sound of the tires on the road felt too far away, muffled by the pressure in my chest. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think about anything except the image of her leaving. Lauren. My Lauren.My hands were cold, yet I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to contain the chaos inside me. I slipped my hand into my pocket and touched something that made me freeze for a moment. I pulled out the little pink baby shoes. Those tiny pieces of fabric felt like they weighed a ton in my hand. I sat on the steps of the mansion’s staircase, staring at the shoes as if they were the only thing left of the family I almost had.I was ready to be a father. Something I never thought I’d want, but she changed me. Lauren came in and turned all my certainties upside down. She made me see a future I didn’t know existed,

POV: HENRY“But I saw it in the paper… I saw the pictures,” he huffed, frustrated, crossing his arms tightly. “The fairy owned up to her mistake… You should own yours too.”“And I will,” I sighed, biting the inside of my cheek. “But not right now. I need to clear my head. For real.” I paused and swallowed hard. “But I swear to you, Theo, I didn’t cheat on her. I was set up, and now I have proof.”“So… can we go after the fairy?” His eyes lit up with hope.A tightness gripped my chest at the purity of that request. But the answer wasn’t simple.“No, Theo. I might not have cheated, but Lauren betrayed me differently. She kept things from me… lied. Made me believe in a dream without telling me the whole story.” My voice broke, but I still pulled him closer. “Don’

POV: HENRY“Seriously,” she went on, running a hand through her hair in frustration, “is it really that hard to accept her completely? Is that what’s stopping you? One detail that doesn’t change who she is?”“Your friend lied to me,” I said more to myself than to her, trying to justify a pain I couldn’t even explain anymore. I was tired—exhausted from repeating it to myself and from hearing Lucian try to get me to see the other side.“Send my regards,” I added, bitterness lacing my voice, about to close the door.Kate stepped closer, her eyes blazing with indignation.“Grow up, Mr. Carter. You’re a businessman, right? Someone used to seeing the big picture? So why now can you only see what hurts you?” She took a deep breath, her voice shaking, but still steady. “Lauren wanted to tell you the truth. It was my idea that she didn’t. I begged her. I was afraid you’d throw her away like Ethan did—afraid I’d watch her fall apart again… because she already loved you.”Her words hit me like a

POV: LAURENTheodor walked in through the door, quieter than usual. His shoulders were slightly slumped, his eyes unfocused, and the oversized headphones covering his ears made him look even smaller than his seven years. He gave me a quick half-hug—weak, almost mechanical, the kind you give out of politeness or obligation—not the warm kind he used to give out of affection. Then he went straight to the kitchen, where he knew my mother would be. Lately, he seemed to seek her arms more than mine. It was as if the two of them were clinging to each other just to breathe.“Did something happen when you picked him up?” I asked Kate, not even trying to hide my concern as I watched my son disappear down the hallway.She looked uneasy, biting her nail and avoiding my eyes. A clear sign that she’d done something.“I think Theo is more perceptive than we give him credit for,” she said

POV: HENRYI took a step closer and saw fear return to her eyes.“The only woman I’ve ever loved, still love, and will always love is Lauren Becker. And I don’t give a damn if our marriage is over. My feelings for her didn’t die. And they never will,” I declared.Lucian watched me as if he’d just heard something he hadn’t expected. Mia, on the other hand, snapped. Clenching her fists, she lunged forward like a raging wild animal.“Lie!” she screamed, trying to hit me. “Liar!”But Lucian moved fast and grabbed her, pinning her arms down as she thrashed like a tantrum-throwing child.“Let me go, you piece of shit!” she yelled. “This is between him and me! Get out of my way, or I swear I’ll destroy that second-rate nanny’s life!”Second-rate nanny.

That’s when my hand slipped down to her neck—firm. And then I squeezed.“H-Henry…” she gasped, her breath faltering, her eyes going wide as I forced her back against the table. Her arms pushed weakly against my chest, but she had no strength. “You’re hurting me!”I leaned in closer, pressing my lips near her ear. My voice came out low, cold as ice.“This… is nowhere near what you and that bastard James deserve.” My fingers tightened. “You drugged me. Exposed me. I tried to destroy what I have with Lauren. Dragged my name through the mud, thinking I’d just stay quiet? Did you really think you’d get away with it?”She squirmed, stammering, her eyes brimming with tears.“H-How… how do you know?” she mumbled, shocked.She tried to kick me, but I raised my knee, pressing it hard against her legs, pinning her in
