Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Deserted Wife: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Two weeks had passed and Shane still couldn’t get away from Stephanie’s grasp. He was forced to stay under the same roof with her by the company’s arrangement. The situation was getting out of hand each passing day. Shane kept his lips sealed while ‘acting’ as Stephanie’s lover. After all, the DNA test result said he wasn’t her baby’s father. He wanted to tell that in her face, so he could break free and chase after his wife, but the singer had always something up in her sleeve. She would threaten him to kill herself once he left her which he shouldn’t really care about as he knew she wouldn’t do such a thing. However, he noticed how stressed she was recently, and knowing that he’s the only one she could rely on, Shane quietly clenched his jaws and played along. He asked someone to find out the man who impregnated Stephanie but with so many men involved with her, even his detective had trouble to confirm it.Lucy, on the other hand, convinced the company to save Sha

Audrey woke up to the smell of food from the kitchen. A smile curled on her lips as she looked forward to what Nanny Esther prepared for breakfast. The elder would always fill the table with vegetables and fruits fresh from the farm managed by her relatives. Audrey missed the times when her Nanny Esther would tell her to eat vegetables and not just sweets and meat. Although she wasn’t fond of them before, several years later, her preference changed. She learned how to eat a balanced diet which also helped her lost weight when she was in Bologna and was still striving to become a well-known chef. The day when she was able to serve her dish to the public was the biggest break she ever had in her life. Audrey could never be proud of her achievement when she got recognition from other professionals. Her love for the food when she was younger didn’t go in vain.“Pfft!” She chuckled recalling the days when she was a chubby girl who was bullied because of her body size. Ho

Another week passed and Audrey tried to manage the morning sickness she had every day. She knew the change of mood was beyond her control, but she couldn’t help feeling sorry for her Nanny Esther who’s taking care of her, especially her cravings for non-seasonal fruits and foods she usually did not like in the past.She decided to tell her husband, but Shane was occupied with work as the show he’s in was almost done. Audrey thought it would be fine, she could tell him next time until her mother-in-law paid a visit and suggested something that could help her.“Hija. I am truly ashamed of my son,” Mrs. Vargas said with her head down. “I’ve already talked to his father about this. The thing he did on your wedding day five years ago made his old man furious. He was lucky to be forgiven after what he did and even got to marry you but he just ruined his last chance.” She smiled sadly and held her hands.“So we’ve decided, we’ll disown our son from now on.”Audrey was surprised but later laug

The pain increased by the second while Audrey bit her lower lip to suppress her cries. She was breathless and unable to talk as she adapted to tunnel vision, giving her best to focus on the labor and get the baby out. She was lucky to survive the impact when she suddenly stopped the car but a bigger problem was coming her way. Her lower body felt like it was going to rip off. It was the thought in her head that the baby’s safety depended on her that made Audrey’s will stronger. She was aware that nobody was there to help other than herself, or so she thought. Amid the excruciating pain, Audrey heard a familiar voice calling out to her. She wanted to see who it was but got no time to spare. She kicked her legs and held tightly onto the wheel with her left hand while the other was waiting in between her legs in case the baby’s head came out. It wasn’t how Audrey imagined she would give birth. Of all places, she had to deliver while squatting on the driver’s seat in her car. Blood flowed

Audrey woke up to the voices talking around her. She unfolded her eyes and slowly let her vision adjust to the brightness. Her body felt heavy as well as her head. But a certain part of her body was definitely aching more than the rest. A groan escaped her mouth when she tried to move a little. “You’re awake,” a familiar voice resounded through the room. “Give me a sec. I’ll call the doctor.” Before Audrey could say something, Tristan turned his back on her. She held her head while making a painful expression. “What’s going on… That was Tristan Reid…” She was collecting her thoughts together when something struck her mind. “My baby!” Audrey abruptly sat down while rubbing her tummy. “No, I’m sure he came out before I passed out… I need to find him,” Audrey muttered to herself and forcibly removed the tubes from her body. She felt a throbbing pain between her legs and head but it didn’t stop her from leaving the bed. She was already at the door and was about to open it when someone el
