Married To A Playgirl

Chapter 10

Asteria Celeste Averix Levington POV

We're back home, thanks to Aeris's luck, as she achieved her dream of being with my sister. Can my wish also come true? When might that happen? I'm hopeful it will. Kian and I are in the room; she's asleep, but I'm still awake.

The following day, I rose from bed and headed to the bathroom for a shower. Kian wasn't beside me when I woke up. Perhaps she's in the office, or maybe Kate  is with her. I descended the stairs and got into my car. My first stop was Jollibee, where I grabbed takeout.

During the ride, I savored a burger and French fries, even requesting gravy for the burger. I indulged in dipping the fries in hot chocolate, which turned out to be surprisingly delicious. Upon reaching the hospital, I took the elevator and proceeded to the doctor's office.

"What seems to be the matter, Mrs. Levington?" Doctor Murphy inquired.

"I vomit every morning," I replied, expressing my concern about my condition.

"What other symptoms do you experience?"

"I also experience constant sleepiness," I added.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I also have a constant craving for mango dipped in ketchup," I confessed. Doc. Murphy let me out first, mentioning that she would first assess my symptoms.

She smiled widely at me, seemingly indicating something positive. Perhaps she's congratulating me on the results or on some good news regarding my condition.

"Huh?"

"Based on the test results and your symptoms, you are pregnant," Doctor Murphy revealed. The news took a moment to sink in for me. Pregnant? Could it be true? I found it hard to believe. Did Kian and I really conceive?

Does this mean we can start building a happy family? The news filled me with cautious excitement as I hurriedly left the hospital. I couldn't wait to share this with my wife. Today, I am incredibly happy—nothing can compare to this feeling. Upon arriving home and seeing Kian and Kate, I hesitated to go in immediately.

Standing outside the door, I couldn't help but overhear their conversation. Kian appeared genuinely happy with this girl, which made me hesitate about sharing the important news. However, she deserves to know. After all, she is also the mother of the child I am bringing into this world.

"Babe, when are you going to break up with that girl?" I heard Kate ask Kian. I leaned in closer to better understand their conversation as they walked together.

"Soon, babe," she answered. I observed as Kate kissed her on the side of her lips.

"I like that. Soon? Does that mean it's close?" she exclaimed excitedly and happily. I watched as Kian quickly kissed the woman.

"Yup."

"What if you have children?" Kian smiled at her.

"If Estria and I have children, I will take responsibility for the child, but only the child. When she gives birth, I'll take the child and keep it away from her," Kian's words hit me like a ton of bricks, and tears started streaming down my face. I realized then that I didn't need to tell her about our future child.

It's clear now—I've heard enough. She plans to keep my child away from me. But what if they do end up raising my child together? Will they be happy while I'm left miserable?

They betrayed me. They're selfish, utterly selfish. All I want to do now is leave—leave without saying goodbye to them, especially to my heartless wife. I've done nothing but serve her, so why? What has she done to me?

If I couldn't bring myself to do it before, now I can. I've heard enough; the pain is unbearable. What did I do wrong? Was it my fault for being with Sorin? Did I hurt her? Did I let her down? Did I overlook something?

Back in my car, I couldn't stop crying. It feels like I cry every day now. I'm so tired, exhausted even. The pain has reached a point where it's opening my eyes to the harsh reality of the world. I'm weary of accepting that she truly doesn't care for me, that she can't genuinely love me.

Why do I continue to hope for someone who's hopeless about me? With swollen eyes, I stepped out of my car and entered the house. Incidentally, Kate arrived home a while ago. I noticed Kian sitting on the sofa, watching TV.

"Where have you been?" She asked, i looking directly at her.

"Somewhere over the rainbow," I replied philosophically. She gave me a disapproving look.

"Why are your eyes swollen? Did you cry?" Kian inquired.

"As if you care," I muttered before heading upstairs to the room. Once inside, I went straight to the bathroom for a shower and then proceeded to fold my clothes.

"Where are you going?" Kian's sudden question startled me, causing me to release the clothes I was holding. She must not know that I am leaving and not coming back. She must not know that I am leaving with our child.

"I'm just tidying up because it's gotten messy. It's nice to see things organized," I lied, hoping she would believe my explanation. She nodded in response.

"I thought you were leaving," Kian said, almost as if she didn't want to believe it herself.

"Where would I even go?" I chuckled, trying to mask my true intentions. She didn't respond and lay down on the bed. I joined her, knowing that my belongings were already packed and ready to be put into the suitcase later.

Sometimes I'm also skilled at slipping away unnoticed, ensuring she can't catch me leaving.

"Let's go to sleep," she said softly. It sounded comforting, and I hoped it was genuine. She pulled me into her arms, and although conflicted, I complied. It was too late to do anything else, so I decided to make the most of the moment. For now, all I could do was be with her.

I can be with you for now. But the moment I leave here, I will sever all our connections. I won't leave a trace of her behind. I'll end everything. It's for the sake of my future child—I refuse to be separated from me.
