Ex-Husband's Regret

Taking a deep breath, I tried to separate myself from the memories of that night. It had been the best night of my life, but what followed after nearly destroyed me.

"I asked you who you had drunk with. You told me it was Rowan. You then told me how you were hurting seeing your brother so broken and hurt. How it destroyed you that you couldn't help him. You couldn't give him what his heart desired, which was Emma.

We continued talking, but then you kissed me again. This time, you didn't stop. You told me that you wanted to forget, even if it was just for the night. You said that you'd wanted me for a long time, and you could no longer stay away from me.

You even carried me out of the kitchen and took me to your bedroom. Not once did you stumble, so it confirmed to me that you weren't drunk and that you really did want me. I should have known not to trust your lying tongue," I finished.

The next morning, I woke up earlier than him and decided I was going to make him breakfast. After I was done, I went back to the room to wake him up and give him a glass of water.

I was surprised when he shouted at me, asking me what the hell I was doing in his room. I was in a tiny nightgown and I remember him telling me to stop being so desperate. He'd thought I was there to seduce him.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I know you remember this next part. You told me that even if I were the last woman on earth, you would never stick your dick in me. You said that I should stop being desperate for your cock because I would never have it.

That you'd rather cut off your balls than sleep with me. It dawned on me that you had been drunk the previous night; you were just good at coordinating yourself even when drunk. I almost had a heart attack when it hit me that you didn't remember a damn thing."

After his hurtful words, I didn't say a thing. I just turned around, walked out and went to my room. I cried for nearly three hours. I was broken and hurt. Who knew words could be wielded like a deadly weapon? Two weeks after that, my heart was shattered to more pieces when I got the news that Andrew had passed away. A week after that news, Gabriel divorced me and a day after my brother's burial, I left the country.

"How long was it before you realized you were pregnant?" he asked. Until this point, he had been silent.

"About four months," I sighed. "I wasn't in a good place after I left the country. I was still mourning my brother and my failed marriage. I tried committing suicide. It's a miracle that Lilly survived. It was as they were performing tests that they discovered I was pregnant."

With everything that had happened, I didn't realize that I was pregnant. Lilly had been my saving grace. It was because of her that I held on, when all I wanted was to leave this world behind. She grounded me and she became my lightning rod, anchoring me to this world.

"Why didn't you tell me? You could have called and told me.” His anger was visible as his eyes darkened to a stormy shade.

I was about to answer him when the intercom came on.

"This is the pilot speaking, we are about to land. Please fasten your seat belts."

I guess the answer to his last question will have to wait.

I was back home after almost a decade away. Something told me that things were about to get messy, and I don't think I'm ready for the chaos that being back here is going to unleash.
