Kyla felt her world swirl around her, how could the world be so ruthless? Just when she thought she could finally fix her marriage. She closed her eyes tightly, trying to numb the pain in her heart.
“Yes she is, so you better sign those papers and get your cheating ass out of my house!” Blake spat the poisonous words at her.
Blake looked at the pitiful, shameless woman before him. To think he had loved her unconditionally through the years, he couldn't see past her betrayal. His heart stung at the look of betrayal and disappointment that covered her face. He planned to break it to her in a different way.
“But what about our baby?” Kyla asked pitifully, not sure what she wanted to accomplish with her weak defense.
Blake felt his heart race for a minute before the possibility of the baby being her lover's clouded him.
Blake chuckled in scorn," you think I'm stupid enough to believe that bastard thing you're carrying is my child? I'm not that stupid, Kyla," He mocked, his sharp words slicing her heart like a knife.
Kyla felt defeated and disgraced as she lowered the pen to the papers before her. Tears almost covering the divorce papers. She had never been this disgraced her whole life.
“Bear this in mind Blake, I'll make you pay for everything you have done today,” Kyla promised, her heart cold as her eyes bore holes in Catherine's face.
Defenseless and broken was what she felt when she put the pen down. Her signature lay there gracing the divorce papers, confirming the end of something she thought would last.
“I'll pay for it? What about you and your cheating ways, having even the nerve to get pregnant with another man's child?” Blake accused, his eyes burning into hers like an untamed fire.
“And you Cate, you're a viper, and you'll pay for that,” Kyla threatened her.
“Blake, throw this bitch out of the house before she utters anything to upset your baby, remember what the doctor said?” Catherine pouted, holding on to Blake's arm.
“Get out of here, Kyla before I drag you out myself,” Blake threatened coldly.
“Drag me Blake I dare you, prove to me that our love meant nothing to you,” Kyla pushed her heart praying that he would think twice before tearing the last of her shredded heart away.
She couldn't let go yet, this was her house, her love, her future. She couldn't survive out there, and they knew it. Yet no one spared her any pint of mercy.
Blake hesitated as he looked at the stubborn woman before him. He knew if it weren't for her, he would be nothing. But how would he trust her after what he saw.
Kyla stood firmly by the door, as if claiming her place. She saw Catherine move swiftly towards her, feeling herself flying down the staircase.
“No, Cate, what have you done!” Blake looked in panic as Kyla rolled down the hard staircase.
Kyla welcomed the impact of the stairs as she closed her eyes, wrapping her hands protectively around her stomach.
As if that weren't enough, Catherine went down the stairs, seeing Kyla trying to support her weak body up. She grabbed her by the hair, throwing her out of the front door.
Kyla turned her head as she caught sight of Blake, who witnessed the whole incident with his hands in his pocket and not a word out of his mouth.
The rain mercilessly struck her skin, the heavy raindrops making Kyla feel even weaker.
“Blake?” Kyla called weakly, clutching onto the doorstep as if praying he changed his mind, only to be met by his cold void stare.
“Let this be the last time I see you here,” he cautioned angrily as he shoved her off the last step, sending her landing on her stomach before he banged the door to her face.
Kyla whimpered at the pain she felt, clutching her stomach as she struggled to sit up. The rough concrete floor dealing mercilessly with her fair skin.
She saw a pool of blood wash away from her, followed by excruciating pain. She felt her body grow lighter as she gave in to the darkness that enveloped her.
Kyla struggled to open her eyes, her body feeling like it had gone under a train wreck. The beeping of machines letting her register where she was.
A warm hand held her tightly in comfort, but that couldn't block out the pain she felt, both physically and emotionally.
Her marriage had broken out of the blue. A sharp, piercing pain clamped her stomach, halting her pitiful thoughts as she moaned loudly in pain.
“Ma'am, you're awake, let me get the doctor,” Amber said, jerking up at the sound of distress from Kyla.
The doctors came rushing in, but Kyla couldn't understand what was happening. Was her baby okay? Her mind flashed her the image of the pool of blood from the fall, making her heart beat even faster.
“How's my baby doctor?” She asked, her voice breaking from the pain.
The doctor seemed to be injecting something in her before she felt her head get drowsy as everything in the room appeared to be disappearing.
When she came to, she found herself alone on the hospital bed. Kyla struggled to open her heavy eyelids, her heart heavy and her mind feeling congested. As if on cue, Doctor Liz came in, smiling at her.
“Hello dear, how are you feeling?” She asked, standing beside her bed.
“Doc what happened? How's my baby?” Kyla asked, her heart beating fast in anticipation.
Doctor Liz looked at her, calmly, reaching to hold her hand. Kyla could sense the news that she was about to receive as she drew her hand back immediately.
“I'm sorry darling, we couldn't save the pregnancy,” Doctor Liz said, but Kyla was not sure if she understood her well as she blurted out a hysterical laugh.
After years of struggling to have a baby and know the beauty of being called a mother, life took that chance from her like a game.
Pulling on the IV, Kyla stepped out of bed, not caring if the doctor called after her. Her feet felt strange, as if she were floating on air as she stormed out of the door.
Her mind only registering one thing; pain and revenge.
She moved into the hallway, aiming for the main door, everything around her becoming invisible to her sight as she bumped into anything on the way.
Tears rolled down her eyes as she cried for what she never had, her mind ignoring the chatter that surrounded her. As she got close to the door, finally seeing her way out of the suffocating environment, she bumped into a hard wall.
It took a minute for her mind to recollect on the unmoving warm hard wall before her. She raised her swollen eyes, ready to give the culprit a piece of her mind.
“You!…" She cursed as her eyes locked sight with the most significant, captivating ocean blue eyes. Her frustration and grief got drowned in them. Her heart skipped a beat at the hypnotizing pair of eyes before her.
“Bitch! Would you look at where you're going!” A female voice shrieked, pulling her out of hypnosis.
“I'm sorry miss, please excuse my fiancé,” a deep voice apologized, making
her turn quickly only to find him already turned away pulling his rude fiancé with him.
At TheeStorm organization, Liam Storm paced in his office in frustration as he looked at the man before him."Dad I already told you, we are trying our best," Liam tried to convince his father who was hell bent on making his life unbearable."We both know you'll not take over the company if you can't produce an heir, you have a quality wife, what else do you want?" Daniel Storm urged relentlessly.Liam ran his hand through his hair as he felt trapped in his own body. It was yet another negative outcome from the hospital. Ever since the accident nothing had ever been the same, although Isabelle was okay, he on the other hand could not say the same. "We're trying dad but it's just not working, we are only left with one last chance and if that doesn't work you can't blame me," Liam said, his mind tired of having to take his fiance for IVF multiple times only to get negative results after hospital tests."Don't worry son, I have a feeling this last one will take," Daniel Storm said comfo
Lost and desperate was what Kyla felt as she walked by the roadside, not sure what her destination would be. She felt like an outcast, her family rejected and threw her out, as her ex-husband did. Her mind swirling and filling her head with questions which no one could answer.She had nowhere to go at the late hour, the only door she could knock was her aunt's place. Kyla felt her heart wring in pain as she thought of all she had been through. No one in her life appeared to care whether she lived or died. A car screening by the road, almost running her over, made her heart skip a beat.Blake got off, looking at her in disgust, “so you would rather walk around like a whore than go back with me?” He accused, grabbing her hand roughly.Kyla felt her inside shake at the murderous look on her ex-husband's face. “Let go of me, Blake, or I'll…” “Or you'll what, Kyla? Scream for help? While you're dressed like that, do you think anyone would bother to help you?” Blake criticized looking a
Embarrassed was the word Kyla could use at that exact moment. She didn't know how to explain being found in bed almost naked with an engaged man right beside her.“Who is this babe?” The woman shrieked pointing her fingers at her with a murderous look wearing her face.Liam cleared his throat confused at how he would explain the situation. It was like the woman with the pale green eyes kept crossing paths with him.“It's not what you think sweetheart,” Liam stated but was stopped midway as a slap landed on the weak woman on the bed. Isabelle had gone on top of her literally pulling her hair out.Liam quickly pulled his violent fiancée who kept kicking in the air trying to get a hold of Kyla. “Isabelle, get yourself together! What's the meaning of this?” Liam asked, holding her midair.Isabelle huffed angrily looking at Kyla as if she were some poisonous venom. “Did you think sleeping with my man makes you special!” She shrieked trying to get out of his hold and attack Kyla again.Ky
Liam Storm couldn't help but feel puzzled at the strange woman's behavior. She ran out of the house after collecting her clothes, without any word of argument to defend herself.She was so different from her, he closed his eyes remembering how his long gone girlfriend was, she was never a calm person, she was more of Isabelle's type. If only the terrible accident hadn't taken her away from him, maybe they would be married, the thought alone made his heart sting. He shook his head, pushing the painful thoughts behind as he focused on the new intriguing woman that seemed to have slowly sneaked into his mind. How he wished she could have access to his life too and be a part of it. Liam smiled as he thought of how composed she looked as she apologized, her calmness or whatever it was piqued his interest in her. His phone rang, pulling him out of his thoughts as he sighed seeing the doctor name on the caller ID. “Hello, doctor? Are there any changes in my results?” Liam asked, a hint of
Liam Storm gulped yet another vodka shot down his throat as he tried to make sense of his earlier conversation with the doctor. He thought he felt eyes boring holes into him from a distance for almost the whole night. Liam didn't feel in the mood to entertain any woman, as he kept turning them away. What he had lost was more than he could bear to think of. He kept condemning himself. Maybe this was his punishment for killing his pregnant girlfriend? He felt his heart wrong in pain at the memory.Meanwhile, Kyla's gaze returned to the particular man who, as if he had sensed her gawking at him, he had lifted his head. Their eyes locked, each one of them cursing inwardly, as no words were needed to know they had met more than once before.The familiar set of eyes that had been tormenting her all night long drew her in their warmth. Her breath hitched as he raised his glass at her, making her silently pray that Amber would be back soon.She turned her head, scanning for any sign of her f
Frustration and fatigue ran through her whole body as she received yet another job rejection application. Kyla huffed, trying to relax at the foul mood she woke up to. She didn't think it would be that difficult to secure a job in New York City, considering her qualifications and experience. It seemed that she secured her first job successfully because of having Blake with her. The thought alone rubbed salt in her wounds.It's been two weeks of trying to get a job, but all her efforts had proven futile. Her apartment looked nearly full, thanks to Amber, who seemed to have suddenly turned into a rich girl and insisted on supporting her. Two weeks since she set her eyes on him… “Fantasizing again, I see,” Amber's excited voice came, pulling her out of her thoughts.“I'm not fantasizing about anything,” Kyla denied, quickly shoving a pillow at her.“Mmm is that so, so you want to say you disappeared that night at the club and came back in the morning glowing and blushing for nothing,”
Liam Storm felt his anger dissipate at his sister's presence in the hospital. She looked equally shocked as he was as she moved her mouth with no words coming out. “Are you not feeling well?” Liam asked, turning her around as he inspected her for any wounds.Amber chuckled at her brother's silliness. “Li, I'm alright, I just brought in a friend who fell ill suddenly, do you remember the friend I told you about?” Amber said, smiling at him.Liam sighed in relief at her response, the last thing he wanted was for his little sister to be sick. Though they didn't see eye to eye with their father, Amber was too strong-willed and unruly, but they would always make up later. Ever since she flew back, she seemed to have a mind of her own. He chuckled inwardly as he remembered his father terming it as effects of taking her to study abroad.“Ooh, the one you wanted me to hire? I haven't had an opportunity to go through the details, but I will, I promise,” Liam responded as he realized he had
It had been a week since he left the hospital, but there still wasn't any news on the mysterious woman. Liam clenched his fists feeling angry, he had to take things into his hands. Just as he picked his phone, an incoming call came in from his sister, making him mentally facepalm himself for forgetting yet again about her friend.He had been away for a business trip and hadn't had time to check the details through.“Siz, what's up?” He greeted cockily as he braced himself for the havoc that Amber would release on him.“Li, I heard you're back, my friend's coming in today, I hope you're ready to interview her?” Amber chirped through the phone excitedly.Liam smiled at her jovial mood. “One day you'll kill your brother, you won't even let me breathe New York air in peace? Now I'm curious about this friend,” Liam teased as he opened the drawer, pulling out the folder.“Are you saying you never checked it!” And there was the real Amber, she had nothing to hide when it came to her emotion
