#UNEDITED BEWARE OF ERRORS
“If you saw the news, then you would know that Vanessa did the whole talking and I was just there, wrapped up in my feelings, not knowing what to do.”
“And it’s my fault for moving on? I shamelessly admitted to you that I loved you. I was willing to go public with you that I was your wife and that we had been married for three years. But what response?”
“I know I’m at fault and that makes me so mad at myself. If I could go back to turn the hands of time, I would definitely make amends. You said you loved me, why would you carry another man’s child?”
“Why do you care so much?”
"I“Because I still love you and it makes me mad that I have lost all options to be with you.” Even though the lights in the room were dim, Hailey could see tears in his eyes but she tried her best not to be moved by it.‘Deep down in my heart, I have always wanted to have a baby with you. My parents are soon going to disown me because I’ve refused to give them a grandchild. I wanted everything with you, a beautiful family.”
“Please stop!” Hailey said at the top of her voice.
“You still feel something for me,don’t you?. I am really sorry for everything I put you through, Hailey. I’m ready to do everything you want. Please tell me we can make this work.”
Hailey shook her head, pushing him off her. “I want nothing to do with you anymore. Just stay the hell away from me!!!” Hailey rushed out of the small room, slamming the door behind her.
The ride home was filled with so much silence, with Hailey drowning in her thoughts and at the same time, trying so hard not to shed any tears.
She finally got home, went straight to her bedroom, took a long shower, and then changed into a silky nightdress.
Hailes crawled into her bed and reached for her phone. She had three missed calls. Two from Tyler and one from Debbie. She also had a message from Tyler.He was apologizing for not being at the event with her. Not being in the mood to talk to any masculine gender, She decided to call her best friend instead.
“Hi, love. How did the party go?” Debbie’s cheerful voice came through.
“Started well but didn’t end well.”
“Let me guess, those bitches were at their worst? I should have come with you to that event. You know you don’t have to please everyone right? We all know that you loved your Grandfather so much but I don’t want you to put your peace and your mental health at the expense of seeing those people every time. What I mean is that you can always delegate your position there to someone else and just stay put by working hand in hand with that person. That way, you are going to avoid bumping into that strange set of people.”
“I will think about it. I am okay with seeing them all from time to time because I know how to put them in their places. The only person I get tired of seeing is Cole. I want to get a restraining order against him.”
“Did he try to touch you again?”
“I was on my way out of the hall when he grabbed me into an enclosed room that I had no idea existed in that building.I don’t know how but he knows I have two kids and accused me of sleeping with another man when I am still married to him.I had no idea if I should be mad at him or otherwise. It’s good to know he has no idea who the fathers are. He doesn’t even know that they are twins. But it hurts to know that he thinks of me as a slut or betrayal. He probably did his investigation and the only thing they told him was that I have two kids.He said he didn’t mean it when he asked for a divorce. He was starting to like me and that made him so furious. He’s angry that I have two kids but he wants me back.”
“Forget about Cole and everything he says. I want you to be sincere with me. What do you want? Do you still feel anything for him?”
“No!” Hailey replied almost immediately.
“Hales?!”
“Cole hurt me so much. There is no way I am going back to him.”
“I don’t want you to have anything to do with him either but this is all about being sincere with your feelings. There is a reason you haven’t moved on, which is why you and Tyler aren’t yet engaged.”
Hailey groaned. “Please don’t bring Tyler into this.”
“|“I have to. It’s high time we addressed this issue. If you don’t forgive yourself for the past and make necessary amends, you won’t move on. I know you’ve said several times that you don’t need a man in your life but we both know that that’s a lie.”
“God! I hate myself so much!” Hailey face palmed.
“You still feel something for that bastard, don’t you?”
