Loise's POV

Adrian kept annoying me because he wanted to know the whole story. I could really tell him but it wasn't my story to tell.

Before coming to Vivi and Basti's birthday party, Oliver begged me to help him so he could talk to Macy alone.

I told him I won't help. Because I know Oliver. I know his long histories with women. Macy had really done a good job with her life. I didn't want to add more pain to her. I don't know what happened but I know my brother.

But Oliver looked very desperate and I could see regret written all over his face. So, I told him that I would help but only when the kids is asleep. I didn't want my niece and nephew to get confused and to suffer because of him again.

"I will only do this for your once, Oliver. You better make sure it counts."

My plan was to offer Macy to help put Vivi and Basti to bed. Then Oliver would follow us so he could talk to Macy.

The stars must have aligned because Macy actually agreed that I helped her put the kids to bed.

I was coming out of the room when I saw Oliver walking towards me.

"Once chance Oliver." I reminded him then I went back to the party.

Oliver's POV

I have been looking forward to attending my children's birthday party. Even my parents couldn't stop talking about it.

We arrived at the party venue which was at the Snider's residence. We entered the gate and find a place to park. There were already a few cars that was parked om their driveway. And the house still looks the same as the last time I saw it.

When we got out of the car I saw that there was a sign that the party was happening at the back of the house. We could hear music and I could see a giant blow up castle. We followed the pathway going to the back of the house.

Macy and my kids were near the entry area welcoming visitors who came a few minutes ahead of us. Loise was there too. I saw her whispered something to Macy then she reached for the man's hand beside her. The man was carrying my son, Basti. I felt a pang of jealousy. He must be her new boyfriend. I told myself.

We walked further until we reached the entry way where they were.

Vivi ran towards my mom. While Loise kissed the 3 of us.

I was so happy to see looking at Vivi and Basti so excited to receive the gifts we brought for them.

Loise led us to our table. Reagan and his wife went to greet us at our table as well.

The party was amazing. It's my first time ever attending a children's birthday party.

There were other kids too. They had  paints on their faces.  There was an icecream truck. There was also a mascot that interacted with the kids.

The food was good as well. There was a buffet of food for the adults and a different one for the kids.

Macy did a good job organizing the party.

I was going to get some food when Basti walked towards me. I smiled at him then he smiled back at me. He had my eyes but he looked more like her mother.

"Hi sweetheart." I bent down put my arms out. Then Basti came running and gave me a hug.

"Happy birthday sweetheart." I greeted him. I wanted to kiss him but I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. So I just hugged him. I felt him wriggled so I let him go. Basti has always been reserved and timid towards me. It was the first time he actually hugged me.

Then I heard Vivi. "Oyivewwww..."

"Happy birthday baby girl."

I hugged Vivi and she kissed me. It hurt so much. I have missed almost a year of their lives. I missed a lot of important milestones. The only thing I have are the photos that Loise has been sending me.

Loise told me to wait until 8 o'clock.

And at exactly 8 o'clock I heard Macy speak in the microphone with Vivi in her arms telling everyone good night and thank you. Then I saw Loise carrying Basti.

I followed what Loise had told me. I waited patiently. I let them go in first then a few moments after I followed.

I have been in this house a lot of times so I know where the bedrooms are.

I saw Loise coming out of the room. She walked towards me and when I was already in front of her she reminded me that it was my only chance.

Macy's POV

Am I ready to face the person who betrayed me?

Am I ready to face the man who had hurt me deeply?

Am I ready to prove to myself and to him that I have moved on?

Am I ready to face Oliver?

I slowly walked towards Oliver.

I slowly walked towards the man once I called my husband.

"Hey..." Oliver greeted me.

"Hey..." I sparingly answered.

"Can we talk?" He asked.

I could feel tension in his voice.

"Yeah... coffee?" I asked while I walked towards the coffee machine. I didn't really want to talk to him in the hallway where there's nothing between us. That's why I led Oliver towards the kitchen.

Oliver followed me. He stood at the kitchen island near the bar stools while I started making coffee.

"Please sit down. I will only be just a few minutes." I started to grind the coffee beans.

"How are you?" He asked again.

"Never been better... How about you?"  I answered him without looking at him.

Then I turned around and gave him his coffee and I drank mine.

"You still remember how I liked my coffee." He smiled then had another sip.

"I do. I remember everything about you Oliver." I looked at him straight in the eye.

"And I know that you will tell me that you are sorry. But you know what? No matter how sorry you are, you can never undo the past."

"Am I angry? Probably. But if I get angry at you right now, what's the point? What am I getting out of it?"

Oliver took a deep breath.

"I am filing for divorce."

It felt like cold water was thrown at me. I should be celebrating. He is filing for divorce. Wasn't this what I wanted?

"Okay." I accepted my defeat.

I turned around and put my coffee mug in the sink and without looking back at him, I walked away.


Oliver's POV

I was in the hallway waiting for Macy to come out of the room. I heard a door opened. I turned my head towards where the sound has came from and there I saw Macy, my wife, walking towards me.

She looked the same Macy I know.l except her hair was shorter.

I looked at her to decipher what she was thinking. I was expecting to get slapped but instead she made me coffee. I am so proud she is my wife.

She told me she remembered everything about me.

Everything.

Including my plan of betrayal.

I am ashamed.

How did I deserve such a woman with grace?

How did I deserved someone who only speaks her purest intentions?

I have made up my mind. I will file for divorce.

She deserves a better man.
