Linda’s POVMy heart felt heavy and my emotions felt raw. I was lying in my bed, buried in my duvet as the rain assaulted the roof of the house. The windows were closed and the water from the sky splashed against it. It was storming outside and I could not do much, but even if it was not raining cats and dogs outside, I did not have the strength to do anything. Maybe it was the pregnancy, or maybe it was just the fact that I was depressed. I sniffled, wiping the tears from my face. My phone was in my hand and I was looking at photos of me and Chris, where everything was simple; when everything was beautiful. How was I supposed to forgive him and heal after what he had done? After he had slept with a woman and gotten her pregnant. And when I finally felt like I could breathe again, I happened to find out that he had sent her a million dollars. I mean, I understood as to why he sent her money. Meghan was pregnant with his child and she had to be taken care of, but the thought still

Linda’s POVTheir reactions were a mix of surprise and concern, evident in the furrowed brows and exchanged glances between them. “China?” My Dad’s voice held a note of concern. “Is everything alright? Why the sudden decision?” I took a deep breath, steeling myself for their reactions. “I have decided to go back to Chris,” I said quietly, my voice barely above a whisper.Silence descended in the room, thick and heavy, as their expressions morphed into a mixture of shock and concern. “Linda, are you sure about this?” My mom’s voice was gentle, her eyes filled with worry.“I have forgiven him,” I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. “And I want to give us another chance.” My brother’s brows furrowed deeper. “Linda, have you really thought this through? After everything he put you through?” “I have,” I insisted, though a flicker of doubt danced in the depths of my mind. “I just…I need to do this. For myself.” “And the baby? What about the baby?” My mom’s concern was

Linda’s POVAs I kissed him, my heart did a weird thing. It was a bittersweet feeling that I could not brush away no matter how hard I tried. Yes, I liked that I was with him again I liked that I was kissing him, but the thought that he had cheated on me still lingered, torturing me. When we broke the kiss, he locked eyes with me. “I’m so glad that you’re home again. I am so sorry for what I did, Linda.” He did look sorry. “I promise you I’m going to do better,” He added. I nodded slowly, taking in his words. “Of course.” My voice was small. “We have a lot to talk about,” I said as I made my way past him. I headed upstairs and did not have to look behind because I knew that he was following. When we reached the bedroom, he walked in and closed the door when I was already in. I glanced around the room, and I could not help but smile. I missed this room, this house, and everything else. “What do you want to talk about?” Chris began, putting his hands in his pockets, nervousness plas

Chris’s POVIn the Aston Martin, the wind blew in my hair as I drove through the beautiful streets of the city. The weather was so good today, and I think it had an effect on my mental health–I felt so much serenity and contentment. Maybe that was because I finally had my wife back. I did not know what I did to deserve her forgiveness or what god had touched her heart to come back to me, but I was more than grateful.I had so many plans for us. After we were done with this war against the Kingston, I planned to take her to somewhere different; to another country where we would start new. Of course, this country had a lot of memories for us, but raising a child, I wanted it to be a fresh start for us. I was not going to tell her until the day she gave birth to our child. I did not care whether it was going to be a boy or a girl, I just wanted to be able to hold our precious baby in my hands soon. When I reached the office, I parked the car at my spot, turned off the engine, and got

Chris’s POV“I will think about it,” I said in finality as I stood to my feet, walking from behind my desk and heading to the closed glass door, opening it up and holding it open. “But for now, I have a lot of work to do, this meeting is over.” Meghan and her boyfriend glanced at each other before they stood to their feet and walked out of my office. I can not tell you how relaxed I got when they were out, I had been tensed the whole time. I walked back to my seat and sat down. What was I going to do? Linda and I had agreed not to keep any secrets, no matter how dark it may be. And I did not want to go against our agreement, so of course, I would have to tell her. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration, the stress weighing heavily on me. I had a lot on my plate and all I wanted to do was get all the things I had to do for the day, that way, I’d maybe be able to relax. You see, the thing about me was that once I had things to do, and did not do them; if I tried to relax, that
