Broken 2:A Second Chance

39

What the fuck did she just say?

"What do you mean my son?" I ask and look deep into her brown eyes.

"N.. nothing." She stutters. She's lying.

I inch closer to her,still looking into her eyes.

"What. Did. You. Say?" I ask through clenched teeth.
She tries to walk away but I hold her back and place her on the edge of the bed.

"Don't touch me!" She warns and shoots me a cold glare.

"Is the kid mine?" I ask and she looks at me with shocked eyes.

"Elron,I am not going to-" She begins and I cut her off.

"Claire,is the boy mine?" I ask one last time.

She looks at me for a while before nodding slowly. Tears pool around her eyes and she shuts them so that I won't see them.

"And you hid this from me for four fucking years. Huh!" I yell and she shakes a bit. I want her to shake. I want her to feel bad.

"I'm sorry. I really am." She whispers before looking at me with pure hate.

"Your father humiliated me,insulted me and called me names. And you didn't do squat. Don't even try to victimize yourself. Even if I had told you at the time of their birth,you would've probably taken them from me.
But congrats." She says and claps. "Your wife is pregnant and maybe it'll be twins but as of now,I don't know you. You don't know me or my kids." She says and walks out of the room.

I ball my fists at my side and take a deep breath. This can't be happening again.
If this happens again,I'm not sure I'll be able to get her back.

I walk out the bedroom only to meet her pack and in another dress.
Noah has also changed his outfit.

"Bye Lukas." He waves his tiny hand at Lukas and he waves back. Claire turns to face him and hugs him before descending the stairs with Noah.

"I'm so sorry you had to see that." The she-devil smirks. I fight the urge to roll my eyes as I nod.

"As you know,couples always share a moment of intimacy and well you caught us-" She says and I cut her off because I fear might hurl the next minute.

"Please get out of my way." I say with a not so sincere smile. Her smile drops and she sizes me up.

"Let me tell you something you blonde haired slut.." She begins and I raise my index finger.

"You don't stay in my house,with my man and call me a slut. You,miss,are the homewrecker,you're not even supposed to insult a dog. I won't tolerate such nonsense from you and if you ever try to insult me in my territory,I'll not hesitate to rip that fake hair extensions out of your head. And trust me,I can do it. So don't think I'm calm. Now...please get out of my way." I say and smile as if I have schizophrenia.
She looks at me with a horrified expression and I flip my hair before walking out.

The walls I built when I entered that house comes crashing down when I reach outside its gates.
I wipe my tears and patiently wait for Claudine to arrive.

"Are you okay?" She asks when her car comes in view. I nod and open the car door for Noah.

"Mommy insulted a lady." He says and swings his little legs. Claudine smiles and gives me a thumbs up.
"She called me a slut." I hiccup. She rolls her eyes, expressing her disgust.
"People like that disgust me." She says before starting the car engine.

I heard everything she told Edelle and to be honest,I'm proud of her.
She comes up to me with teary eyes and pouts.

"She insulted me." She fake crys and I roll my eyes.
I pinch the space between my eyebrows and roll my eyes.

"You shouldn't have stood in her way." I say and walk to my room.

"You can't just walk away from me Elron!" She yells and slams the door behind her.

I don't have time for this shit.

"Edelle get out!" I point to the door. She folds her arms on her chest and shakes her head.
"I won't get out!" She yells on top of lungs. I pinch the space between my eyebrows again.

"I really don't have time for this." I say and walk into my walk-in closet. I guess she'll follow me there too.
"Look at me." She finally says calmly yet still,I don't pay attention to her.

"Edelle,you won't get rid of the baby even though I said you should. Fine. But do not! And I mean not,ruin my chances of reuniting with Claire." I say and wear another shirt.

Her eyes well up with fake tears and I fight the urge to roll my eyes.

"So you're gonna throw four years away just like that?" She whispers.
"Look at my face. In my eyes and tell me that you will leave me for her." She says and breaks down in tears.

"I'm sorry." I say and walk out of the closet. This time,she doesn't follow me but I can still hear her soft whimpers.

When my head touches the pillow,my body instantly turns limp from tiredness and I yawn before resting fully on the bed.
Lucky for me, Claudine decided to stay in a hotel not far from here and Noah was sleeping in the other room.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Tristan asks me over the phone.
"Yes,I'm fine." I say with a groggy voice.
"You seem tired,see you tomorrow." He says before cutting the call.

I close my eyes but suddenly,I feel a pair of eyes looking at me through the window.
