Lonely Bride

Sarah’s pov

He took the seat in front of me, and I knew he was waiting for me to start.

Huffing tiredly, I finally told him everything from the start, from how he found me to how I got pregnant and what stories he has made up until now.

By the time I was done, I was a crying mess.

“Why didn’t you call me a silly woman?” He spoke annoyingly while gritting his teeth.

I looked at him with teary eyes but said nothing. How I wish I would have used some brains to do so.

“Don’t worry now; you are safe.” He spoke slowly, but I heard it.

I know he is angry, but at the same time, he is worried about me.

“What do you want to do now?” He asked, looking at my baby bump and again looking into my eyes.

“I want to give birth to my babies, but I will not give these babies to Sean. They are mine and only mine.” I informed him of my thoughts.

“But why do you want to keep anything that belongs to him?” He asked one more question.

The shock was an understatement hearing his thoughts, or, let’s say, stupid thoughts.

“I don’t care about him. They are my babies, and they have been in my womb for seven months. They have my blood, and it has nothing to do with Sean. Just a drop of his sperm does not make him the father of my child.” I spoke when my anger shot out like a missile.

“Drop or less than drop. He is the father of the baby, and you can’t change the fact.” He tried to show me the reality that I truly wanted to run away from.

“No, they are mine!” I deadpan.

“They?” He asked, cooking his eyebrows.

Hmm, yeah, I have twins.” I don’t know why I replied a little nervously.

His clenching jaw and tight fist did not go unnoticed by me.

“So now?” He asked after a pin-drop silence.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Nothing now; it’s just me and my three kids,” I said, shrugging my shoulders.

“You are giving divorce to Sean, and I am not saying NO to this.” He pressed the word no, and I kept mum.

Divorce is a sore subject for me. Talking is far away. I don’t even think about that, but again, that does not mean I don’t want it.

“Once I deliver my babies, I will file it by myself,” I said, walking towards the window.

“No, I will do what is needed. You don’t stress yourself. Just take care of yourself.” He spoke while getting up from his seat.

I wanted to tell him about my health issue, but I don’t want to bother him more than I already do. It’s just a matter of a day or two, and then I will leave this place.

“You rest; meanwhile, I will arrange something for dinner.” He said he started walking but stopped hearing my question.

I don’t know why he is looking so relaxed. And somehow, this is not sitting well with me.

“What if Sean finds us?” I finally asked about my worry.

He smirks as if I have asked some stupid question. “He will never find us.” His aura was telling me he was too confident that Sean would never be able to find us. I hope it’s confidence, not overconfidence.

He went inside, and I stayed rooted, thinking I could not rely on him and needed a backup plan, which I already had with me.

I took my phone, made some necessary arrangements, and smiled, looking at the reply.

I decided to speak to Nathan after dinner. So, keeping the phone back in my pocket, I walked towards Ivan’s left, and the way led me to the kitchen as I expected.

Ivan was looking at something in the fridge, and some vegetables were lying on the kitchen counter with pieces of chicken.

“What are we making?” I asked, coming closer.

“Chicken paper garlic stick with mashed potatoes and some potato rosti for Bella.” He spoke while his hands were still working to find the ingredient.

‘I wanted to help him, but I guess my mind is not at peace, so I decided to sit in one place and let him do as I know he is best at his job.’

I looked at him; he was too busy with his work. I don’t know why, but I did not like this silence.

I can see he is hurt and kind of not happy with my baby. And that mare of thought spoils my mood, thinking my friend is not happy with the news I am crazy about.

Moreover, it was never a plan to hide this from him or anyone else. It just happened, and I forgot to inform him I was pregnant.

I assumed Nathan might have told him the same, but his reaction says otherwise.

“How is Nathan?” I asked him

“He is good. Worried about you, just like I was. But, well, Mrs. Hudson was too busy making babies for Sean Hudson. She forgot about the world. What a mare of mine or Nathan is?” His taunt was exactly where it hurt the most.

But what caught my attention was why Nathan had not informed him of the same. I have been talking to him on and off. He knows everything about me and babies, so why has he not told him and pretended to worry about me?’ I thought about looking at him but did not voice my opinion.

He is already mad at me, and if he finds out what Nathan did, this will blast like a bomb, so I would rather pass this on at this moment.

I looked down and played with my finger while he was doing his work.

I guess I need to speak to Nathan regarding the same.

I wanted to talk to him about my departure tomorrow, but this angry wolf might eat me alive if I say anything right at this moment, so again, I passed that thought on and decided to talk to him in the morning.

I look back when Bella returns to the house and runs to Ivan.

“Daddy’s house is so beautiful, just like ours, right mom?” Bella spoke innocently about whatever came to her mind, and grumpy Ivan got one more reason to scowl at me.

“Our house is even better than this, princess. I shall take you there soon.” After giving me a deadly look, he again looked at Bella tenderly.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes internally, looking at the duo. I mean, what is this? Some kind of competition?

“Mommy, when is Daddy coming? I want to show him this beautiful place.” She said that when Ivan put her down.

Unintentionally, I again looked at Ivan, and he was already giving me a deadly look.

I fidgeted with my finger, as I had no idea what to do.

“Never,” Ivan said, and somehow his answer was not liked by me.

Though it wasn’t the wrong answer somehow, I did not like hearing the painful reality.

I looked at Bella. She had a confused expression at first, then her face fell, looking at Ivan. She waited for some time to see if he was joking or something, but when she did not get any reply, her lips wobbled, and I knew what next would be. Before it happened, I walked toward her and held her hands.

“Bella’s daddy had some important work, hence he had to go out, but don’t worry, he will come soon, okay?” I spoke and looked at Ivan while giving him a glare for hurting my innocent child.

I know how close Bella and Sean have come in such a short period of time. Sean might be anything, but he is a great father to Bella, and no matter how much I want, I cannot deny this fact.

“Come, it’s time to eat. Let momma feed you today.” I walked towards the cabinet, took some plates out, and placed them on the table.

Ivan’s deadly glare did not go unnoticed by me, but I ignored him.
