[Third person POV] “Morning again, wow, I hope some of you slept well because most were fearing for their lives after Ellen Mule’s live footage, anyway, this is Mimi Dawson, and we are reading top comments on last night’s video. First comment is from AlphaMan2 ‘I get Clayton’s anger but all that for some b*tch, how stupid,” Mimi reads before giggling, “I also agree with AlphaMan2 here, that was too much.” “Second comment from Allora it reads, “there could never be anything bad about a husband protecting his wife, Ellen Mule deserved that.” Mimi Dawson continues to read the comments taking note to giggle at ones that condemn Kaleah, this was sure whose side the media was gearing to steer on. “Huh… such baloney for views and likes,” Clayton cursed, Mimi Dawson was not a gossiper Clayton was unfamiliar with. He knows her pretty well, in her fifties but still going around gossiping till this day. “Don’t stress sweet Zoey, Dad will sort that woman out okay,” he says changing her cloth
[Kaleah POV] The room sounds quiet, there is a small sound that beeps every ten seconds, my body feels stiff, it is quite different from how I felt yesterday, it is less painful. I hear Zoey, giggling, Ah…. This is refreshing I haven’t heard her giggle like this since forever. My heavy eyelids, seem to want to open, “Cyan?” I asked bewildered why Cyan was here, did we escape. “You are awake,” she exclaimed happily, “wait, I will call the doctor.” Ah… yes, I remember Clayton rescued us, Cyan puts Zoey to a stroller near my hospital bed and runs out calling the doctor frantically. It is over, it is finally over, I call feel the tears run down my cheeks, my body is still sore, it can’t seem to want to move. “Hi, Mrs. Beckett, my name is Dr Martin,” that tittle no longer seem to suit me, How can a filthy broken woman like me be associated to Clayton still. “Hi,” I muttered with a hoarse voice. “Are you feeling alright?” he asked gently, Cyan is behind the doctor and in true Cyan
[Clayton POV] Since Joshua saw me matching Ellen’s ward he was changed into another hospital. Apparently, I would have done some stupid thing if he hadn’t been moved. And I wished I had done that stupid thing, because now the same Joshua is telling me and my wife that the monster that put her through hell might get off with just a slap on the wrist. “Okay, Leah is resting, tell me you have a plan to counter this,” Joshua doesn’t reply, I know it is because his hands are tied. “I am sorry man, we might not have a way out of this,” Joshua says. “But we will try our best he is locked up okay, we can apply for the appeal to his sentencing after that,” Evelyn says, “I spoke to your uncle about this, and he will try and get his other friends who are in the industry to help out.” This seems like it doesn’t want to end, nor does it want to end well for us, whatever lucky star that fool was born under must be destroyed. “But we were able to get Mrs. Mule off obstruction of justice charg
[Kaleah POV] “Hu…...” I feel like my world is crumbling, they support me so much and it is very overwhelming. I cannot stop the tears, this is too much of a curve ball in my life, I don’t think we can repair what we once had anymore. I don’t think he should continue to love and support me anymore; I should set him free; he should be free of all that is me. “Hey,” Clayton mutters. I quickly dry my eyes before facing him. I don’t want this to go on, I think I should just set him free. But Zoey loves him so much, I don’t think separating us would be good for her. “Hi, how was work,” I say, I miss him, I miss talking to him about his day, my day and everything else. “It was okay, a bit too troubling but nothing I can’t handle,” he says before locking his eyes with mine. “You went to the hospital today? Is there something wrong?” Ah, of course he knows, I had tried my best to not alert him about me going to the hospital, but it seems to be impossible to do so. “Oh…. Um… I went to
[Clayton POV] I looked at her eyes, they were red, she had been crying, I know this is probably the hardest decision she has ever made, but it is the wrong one. “No,” I say firmly, she has to have lost her mind if she thinks I am going to even let her go. “Please" she plead, "I am no good for you Clayton, you deserve so much better.” “I get to decide what I deserve,” I reply coldly, I feel so angry, she is hiding something from me and instead of telling me she is choosing the highway. “I am a disgusting woman, you are too great to even be with me, I have scars all over my body, I was assaulted, and I am filthy....” “Shut up,” I shout, I hate this having to argue to her about this. “I do not care who you are, but you have no right to talk about my wife like that, she is an amazing woman." I speak angrily. "She is a survivor, she is really kind, the most beautiful woman in this world, the kindest the sweetest and she is the smartest woman I know, she is even greater than I coul
[Clayton POV] The next morning Kaleah woke up earlier than me, to make me a cup of coffee, it made my heart dance a little with happiness. Though it was hard for her to go back to the usual Kaleah, it was good to see her try a little to do so. “I will come pick you up for the appointment with the gynecologist, okay?” I tell her, she smiles before nodding. “This will be okay, we will go through this okay,” “I hope so,” I hugged her goodbye before stopping to say goodbye to Zoey. I need to vent this out to someone; I can’t talk to Conan about this he would never understand anything. Maybe Evelyn would know how to get through this. I had called her inviting her for breakfast, and she came with her husband of course. “So, what is it?” she finally asked after I had procrastinated for almost half an hour. I take a deep breath before telling her the current situation, she is shocked the more I explain. “Poor Leah, she must be going through a lot,” she sympathizes, this clearly floor
[Clayton POV] Kaleah takes a deep breath, I can feel her hands tremble, “I…. um… I am pregnant.” The room is first silent, they are probably adding two and two together, grandmother opens her mouth to speak but she doesn’t. “Congratulations,” Conan says. “The father…...” Cyan tries to say but I cut her off at once. “We don’t care about that, we are keeping it,” I say firmly glaring at her. Conan doesn’t seem to care but grandmother on the other hand looks too shocked to even speak. “Grandmother?” Kaleah says, almost in tears. “Oh… Oh… child, don’t, I didn’t mean, I am just shocked, I will not be against anything that is your two’s decision okay,” she finally says, standing from where she sat to wipe the tears off her eyes. “Hey… we will support you okay, you do not have to be scared.” Melisa says; Cyan also walks to hug Kaleah. She cries as the two women hug and console her, maybe I should have told them sooner, because she would have gotten the support sooner. “Hey Clayton
[Clayton POV] Of course, I knew my gut feeling was not wrong, that darn therapist not only violated patient confidentiality, she also spread lies about my marriage. “What do you want me to do?” Cain asked, “you want me to pay Mimi Dawson again.” Pay her, for her just to ignore my warnings and continue on talking trash about my wife? “No, let us do this differently I want to destroy her this time, I want to crush her so hard she wouldn’t be able to recover.” “How do you think we can do that?” Cain seems confused, it didn’t seem we had any information to ruin this woman. “We will find a way,” I say determined, “I might already have a way to destroy her, in the meantime get me a slot on her show, I want to go clear up this whole mess.” Cain seems to not agree with my resolute, “what? Say whatever is on your mind.” “As much as I respect and trust you, I don’t think going to her show would be a good idea,” Cain says worried, “and I don’t think the madam would like it too.” “I have
