All Chapters of His sidepiece : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

EMMA.I dropped the phone immediately. I never wanted to hear that voice ever again.I stared into the blank wall. The irony that he would call me a night after the night I tried to end my life because of him.He chose Isabella. He made the decision. He dumped me. He left me. He refused me. He disgraced me. He lied to me. Why was he back?What did he want?I waited for him. For years, I waited for him. I waited for him to treat me right, I waited for him to treat me right. I shouldn't have, and I know that, but I did. I stayed with him because I loved him. He told me he loved me. He promised to fight for me, but it was just all a lie.Fuck him. Fuck his love. Fuck his lies.I didn't want him anymore. Isabella could have him. Anyone could. I couldn't care less.“Emma,” Kristy called me, gaining my attention, I turned to her, “yes?”“Are you okay?” She asked.“I’m fine.”“Are you sure?”“Most definitely,” I replied with a broad smile.She nodded, and returned her attention back to her

EMMA.Soon enough, morning had come and I wasn't even lucky enough to get a good rest or sleep. I covered my mouth with my palms, releasing a tired yawn.Throughout the night, all I could think of was apex and what he had accused me of doing. It wasn't bad enough that his wife was framing, he genuinely thought I was framing him too.I hissed out loud.I didn't blame them. I had myself to blame. I had let myself be used in their little cat and dog game, why wouldn't they think of me as a fool?Why would Alex think of me as a fool?I let him use, and deceive me for years! Long years! And I didn't even notice. I should have seen the signs, but I was too blind to notice it.What was I thinking believing that a married man would leave his wife for me? I chuckled in despair. I was truly foolish, and so gone that no advice was working on me.I should have stuck to John, or literally anyone else.I should have stayed with a mad man, because Alex was obviously worse.After years of rejection,

EMMASoon enough, we were done, and the nurses had discharged me.My mother had arrived to help me pack home.Kristy had been on her phone the entire time, typing furiously.I wanted to ask what was wrong, but I decided to give her some space. If she wasn't back to normal in the next two hours, that was when I would ask.As much as I loved her, I knew everyone needed their privacy, and it was no big deal. Moreover, I was already a burden, I didn't want to worsen it.“Are you ready?” Kristy asked, reaching out to take my mind.I wanted to tell her I was a hundred percent fine, and able to walk on my own but I thought better of it and let myself be babied. A little break wouldn't be so bad.As we walked out of the hospital, I took a clear view of the environment. This place was a bit different from the place my mother lived. It was livelier, and busier. The streets had different restaurants, motels, and cafes. But even with that, it still had that homely feel. I looked around.How could

EMMA.I had to end the call just so I could focus on what was before me. Zara and my mother had returned, and it was time for some family moments. I would focus on the rest later. Alex had already taken enough of my time, and years. Now, it was time to give it to those who actually deserved, and appreciated it.I watched as Zara placed the drinks before all of us on the table. Joshua stapled down from my leg to visit the restroom and although I loved having him around, I appreciated having his weight off my thighs.I reached out for my drink, pressing a straw into it.“There is wine, but we won't be taking it in front of the children,” my mother announced.Although I didn't get her concept, I agreed. If she said her children were not allowed to be around wine, or alcohol, I would support it.Shs was doing for them ten times what she did for us, and yes it covered the things we went through. I would also do my utmost best to help protect her children.Zara started dishing the cake out,

EMMA.“Alex” I called out his name with gritted teeth. I was trying my best not to lose my temper, but it was almost impossible.“I thought you would never unblock me. I tried calling repeatedly, and-”“How dare you?” I interrupted,.retiring straight to the point.The last thing I wanted to hear was his dumb excuses, and his fake pledges of how he was into me, and how he was scared that I would never pick up.“Look, I know I accused you of framing me, and that was beyond disrespectful. I am genuinely sorry, and I didn't mean it. Too many things were happening at once, and I spiralled. Deep down you know that I could never believe you would do something like that to me. I trust you.”Who the fuck did he think he was trying to with those lines? We were past that. Far past that.“Deep down I know you could never think of me as a weak woman searching for revenge? Alex, you know that's a lie. That's exactly what you think of me.”“No, you're misquoting me. I said, you know I don't think o
