Chapter 108.

Jasleena

To top it all off about an hour after the text messages that I did not reply to, my phone went off. Multiple times. I ignored it, until it was a phone call from my mom. I didn't want to speak to anyone, but I knew that if I didn't answer now she wouldn't stop calling until I answered. But when I finally decided to answer, she hung up. Then a message popped up with a link. "Lukas Anderson got a woman named Jasleena Miles pregnant." I clicked on it, there was a photo of Luka and I. Clicking it was the worst choice I had made. "Rumors say that Mr. Anderson was with Ms. Miles and had a child with her. But they also say there's such a tragedy along with it. They say Ms. Miles had many complications that led to an emergency hysterectomy." I stopped reading. I felt the tears running down my face. I felt completely broken. Who would do such a thing? Why would someone expose someone else's privacy? My phone began to ring again, again it was my mother, and again I ignored it.

Lila was napping so I was completely alone in the living room. Crying and crying. I didn't look at any of the text. I didn't answer to anyone who called. I just wanted to disappear. I wanted to be away from everyone and everything . My mind was running on a million. So many doubts. So many negative things. I decided to look at my phone again and it was still on the article. I scrolled down and there were comments. Comments I shouldn't have read. Comments that only worsened the feeling I already had. Comments like... "She isn't worth his time." Others like... "He'll never love her after that. What does he even see in her." And many like... "You can have me Lukas Anderson. I can make your world wilder than she could ever." But the ones that hurt most were the ones that read... "I can give you as many kids as you'd love Lukas." I threw my phone across the room and rolled myself in a ball on the sofa. Cried my eyes out. With every bad thought that ran through my head.

I guess I fell asleep, because I was being woken up by someone. "Lily?" Luka. "Lily, love, wake up please." I didn't want to open my eyes. I didn't want to face him. Because if he was there, he had to have known. Because why would he leave work? "Lily, I know you're up." I heard Lila whine, that made me want to open my eyes. So I did. "Lily." He sounded relieved. "Mama." I heard my baby girl and that made me smile. I needed that. I needed to hear her. I heard a knock on the door.
