She loved him.
And tonight, she was finally going to confess her love to him, along with that beautiful secret, which she had been hiding from him since last week.
Cladded in his favourite blue dress, Eizlina was waiting for her husband, Theron, to come back home from his work.
The door of their bedroom finally opened.
He was finally home.
Smiling, and gripping that bouquet of red roses in her hands, she finally turned around to look at her everything, her better half, her love, her Theron. But the land underneath her feet slipped away the second her eyes fell on that person standing at the door.
Ivara Elzaek….His deceased wife, who had died two years ago.
The bouquet fell from her hands, whereas her dark brown eyes widened in horror, seeing his deceased wife in front of her eyes.
Her body went completely numb.
She saw Ivara's steps proceeding closer towards her.
“Your need here has ended, Eizlina Witner,” Ivara's words froze her throbbing heartbeat.
“And not just only here, but in Theron’s life too,”
Tears stung in the corner of Eizlina's eyes.
“Because, the place you're standing right now is mine,” Ivara's words felt like a tight slap on her soul because it was the truth. This place rightfully belonged to her.
“The child you are embracing is mine,”
More tears shimmered in her eyes, realising she was talking about Orelia, that 3 years old little girl, whom Theron and Ivara had given birth to, but she had given that little child her happiness back.
She had been giving Orelia the serene arms and love of a mother that kid had always needed.
“The man you are living with is mine. I am Ivara Theron Elzaek, the legal wife of Theron Elzaek and the biological mother of Orelia Elzaek, and you …..” Ivara snapped her index finger at her. “You are no one and nothing anymore in their lives,”
