71: James unease

James POV I looked at my wristwatch, my eyes straying to the windows. “It's already past midnight, yet there's no sign of her.”My patience grew thin as I walked up to the wine bar to pour myself a drink.Taking a sip and then another, my heart surged with dread and rage; rage so intense it could light a candle.‘If I dared set eyes on her, I swear I would rip the bones from her neck and make her eat them herself,’ I snapped.I paced between the windows and the wine bar, sipping my drink. I continued until I found myself slowly drifting off to sleep.*****Slowly, I lifted my hands. Even the weight of them drained me. My gaze flickered open, and the bright light streaming through the window was so blinding that I winced, blinking repeatedly before mustering the courage to open my eyes fully.A sharp throb pulsed through my head the moment I did. Instinctively, I held onto my head in reflex.I remembered waiting in the living room, drinking glass after glass, and then... nothing. Th

72: Fiona's Schemes

Liam's POV “Darling, I am so sorry for last night. It's not like I inflicted wounds on her, I only disciplined her as a little child,” she beseeched, leaning forward to grab my arm, but I yanked it away.It’s been a rough night with countless thoughts racing through my head.Waking up this morning with the lingering pain of what I experienced last night only made me marvel at it all.I ignored her words and focused my gaze on the left side of the room.“Darling, I said I am sorry. A child needs to be cautioned about certain things,” she chimed, but I remained silent in my thoughts.“What’s there to caution? Would you really go to such lengths to discipline a child by whipping her with lashes? What kind of mother are you?” I questioned, turning to meet her now frowning gaze.“She’s my child, and I choose to discipline her in the manner I see fit. I am not accountable to anyone for my actions,” she blurted, her face contorted.“How dare you say such words? Do you know what it feels lik

73: Nina's Test Result

James POV My hands remained clasped together as my gaze narrowed at him.My heart was troubled, yet my gaze remained unwavering.He lifted his eyes after a brief moment of silence and stared at the files as if he wasn’t the one who had conducted the test."Here is the result," he said, pausing to glance through the papers again.The silence shredded my heart even more.My gaze remained locked onto his.My palms grew sweaty inside my pant pockets.Nina remained calm, her eyes fixed on her phone, which she had been operating the entire time we waited."Ahhh," the doctor cleared his throat, prompting her to lift her gaze in his direction once more."The baby in her womb isn't Mr. James'...""Doctor, you’re joking, right?" she snapped, cutting him off mid-sentence. Her phone slipped from her hands, dropping onto the table in front of us."Madam, we are professionals here. We don’t joke about matters as delicate as this," the doctor declared."Then you must have mistaken my results for so

74: Her Threats

Becky!What the heck is wrong with her?Was she so jobless that she had to trail after me?I remained rooted in my car, the fire in my veins burning. A rush of anger surged through me at the instance.She just stood in front of the car without saying a word, only glancing at the screen, which was absurd.I said nothing, only watched.The phone in my hands dropped onto the seat of the car. My hands slowly formed into fists.“What do you want?” I barked, barely aware if she grasped that. But after a moment, she approached.A knock on the side window of the car made me reluctantly open the door, and she hopped in.Sitting next to me, her hands clutched the phone she held in her arms. Her gaze flickered to me, a deadly smirk forming on her lips.“What’s the meaning of these actions? You keep pulling off and on, aren’t you tired already?” I declared, trying to hold onto my rage.She turned to meet my gaze. “How would I ever be tired? I said I want you, and that's all. Your secrets, your pa

75: Moments

Olivia's POV I felt a rush of excitement pulling through my heart as his text popped up on my phone, asking if we should meet.It was the same way I felt when he replied to my text earlier; my entire body swirling with joy once more.Three long weeks of separation, yet it felt like forever. My heart longed for him, yet the thought of Nina kept restraining me.‘It won't be a bad idea if I gave him the opportunity to explain things since I haven't really heard his perspective,’ I thought as my finger rested over my lips in deep reflection.We had come a long way together; he was practically my backbone when I had no one and nowhere to lean on; not to mention that painful, haunting night I had tried countless times to erase from my memory.I hissed aloud, drifting my gaze away in disdain as the thought resurfaced, replaying in my heart all over again.Finally, after a long moment of deep reflection, I decided to give love a chance to thrive.I couldn't deny what I still felt for him lin

76: Date Fixed

His gaze burned with jealousy as he asked the question.My face lit up with a smile that left him confused. His face scrunched up, his gaze widening. It lingered on me, silently demanding an explanation."Alright! That was just a joke. It's someone from the hospital," I chimed, my mouth curling into laughter."Don't ever joke about such delicate matters again, alright?" His hands gripped my arm, his gaze serious as he fixed it on mine, waiting for a reply."Alright," I assured him, standing upright and picking up my bag while patting my face to ensure my makeup was in perfect condition."Where to?" he asked, looking fazed."It's time for us to spend some time together outside this building. I've already booked a private reservation for two," I replied, feeling a little excited."That's why I'll always love you." His hand brushed against my face, lifting my cheeks slightly."Always love you," he repeated, and my heart melted at the sincere, longing gaze fixed on mine.I swallowed har

77: Confession

I pace around the living room, my gaze fixed on the image displayed on the screen of my phone.How it hurts. But then, no one seemed to realise how much pain I was going through, how much was at stake just to make sure he was still alive.It's been months since he was transferred to another hospital, yet I still couldn't let go of the feelings I had when I watched his lifeless body lying on that bed.Nevertheless, I had to move on.I pressed the delete button on my phone and quickly erased his picture and everything that I felt was connected to his image or personality.My marriage to James was in just two days, and I felt it was best to let go, start afresh, and give love a chance to thrive once more.***** D-DayI arrived at the office earlier than usual.My heart soared with joy from the moment I woke up. It wasn't unusual to feel this way ever since I had agreed to move on with James.I had one thing to do at the office this morning before meeting up with him at the designated ar

78: Doubt

My heart couldn't contain the depth of deceit, and I pulled out my phone to dial James' number.Pressing the call button, I waited for him to pick up after a brief moment.“Sorry, I was trying to….”“Just save that explanation and meet me at the office now,” I declared, pressing the hang-up button.How could he? I muttered aloud, my gaze fixed on my phone.My arms slammed against the office desk, making a sharp creaking sound that echoed through the entire space.The longer I waited, the more the unease grew in my spine. Finally, the door creaked open once more, revealing no one else but James.His dazed gaze met my angry stare, and he hurried toward me.His mouth was agape, his expression perplexed.“What’s the issue? And why are you still in the office with that look on your face?”I let him speak while I watched impatiently.The veins in my body tensed, my muscles pulled tight.“How could you do such a thing? How could you?” I blurted out bitterly.He leaned forward and held my arm

79: Reality

James POV My gaze remained fixed on hers, curiously demanding an answer.My heart raced as I dreaded the response she hadn’t given yet.Her confused yet determined expression said everything. Even without her words, I already felt a sharp pain in my heart.“Please, Olivia, tell me what the issue is. You already forgave me, and I have promised to always be honest with you from now forth. Why are you stopping the car?” I demanded desperately.It seemed like my words hit her, stirring a soft spot in her heart. She lowered her head, arms wrapped around herself.I leaned closer, resting my hands on her shoulders slightly.“I’m sorry, but I’m starting the car now,” I said boldly. But she didn’t react, didn’t say a word neither.I felt shattered, but I had to do something.I gripped the key, ready to start the engine, when her hand brushed against mine, stopping me abruptly.She looked up at me, her eyes filled with sorrow and determination.“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I can’t go through

80: In A Flash

Olivia's POV I was already at home, my heart a total mess, devoid of any iota of numbness ever since I left James at the roadside.“My decision was the best for both of us,” I whispered to myself as I alighted from the cab, but something sprang up in my heart.My car was parked at the hospital.Taking the cab, I returned to the hospital with the intention of not going inside the building.Upon arriving, I was surprised to spot James with Becky; she looked almost unconscious.I was stunned to my marrow.Had he actually come back to the hospital to confront Becky for spilling the truth? What kind of a man was he?Rushing Becky over to the emergency ward, all the teams rushed over and assisted in the process of resuscitating her.It appeared he had nearly snapped the life out of her moments before I arrived.My heart quickened. He was a beast.After a moment of panic and pressure, she was finally stabilized and placed on oxygen.I heaved a sigh, my heart heavy with grief and hatred.“Sh
