Replaced Wife (The Billionaire's Wife Series 1)

Chapter 16(rewritten)

Kiara's POV

"Get in the car Kiara" Liam said as he settled my things inside the car. It was a disaster, but he didn't said anything to me, nor did he made a scene. He just asked the doctors to discharge me from the hospital and that he can take care of me at his home. I think the worst it yet to come. I think he is just calm because we are in public place.

The more I know Liam, the more I become sure about him being possessive and impatient. "Kiara I said get in the car" His harsh voice made my eyes water. Ash looked at me with worried expression. Why do I feel like a errant child punished for her mistakes.

The car roared and he backed off, I looked out of the window and Ash's face became sad, I know he think he was responsible for my condition. But no, I was the one responsible for all this. What is Ash's fault in this? "Take care" Ash mouthed and I nodded.

Liam drove the car leaving him in dust. Now I know, he too will become a fragment of my imagination which will be embedded deep within my mind, lying in some old dusty corner, while I yarn for getting him back. My one true friend back with me.

"we are here" Liam announced. I didn't turned around to look at him. He might think I am angry at him, but it is not true, I am just tired of his behavior. I am just tired of this and I cannot say it is going to change anytime soon. He came to my side and tried to hold me. I hold out my hand and stopped him.

"Don't" He looked at me worriedly but then again it was replaced by cold expression. "Don't argue with me Kia, you are not in a position to argue right now I am not in the mood or in situation to argue too." He said in an emotionless voice.

I tried to move my leg and a scream erupted from deep within my chest. It hurts do badly. As soon as my feet found the ground, I felt like I will fall down. "Careful" He said trying to hold me. "no, I am fine sir. I can do it by myself like always". I said moving slowly towards the house. No matter how painful it gets, I can do it.

I know I can. With every step I took, the pain came less and less. It became bearable as always. I heard Michael's voice rang around the house. "Momma" He called and jumped at me. I caught him and hold him closer to my heart. He is my little angel.

"Mike, Mumma needs to rest, you remember what I told you right?" Michael looked at his father and then at me. "Momma I missed you" oh my baby angel. "I missed you too baby" I said. "Mike, go to your room" He said again. "No, I want to stay with Momma" he said. "Michael River Rhodes, go to your room now" Michael's eyes watered.

He ran towards his room crying. "You didn't have to scold him, he just wanted to be with his mother" I said. "Well he cannot be with mother, because his mother is dead, all that is in front of him is a replacement, the biggest mistake of my life which I ever did was marrying you Kiara. It would have been better if I had never ever married you and told him right away about his mother's death"

Did I felt bad? No I stopped feeling bad after he stole the very thing I lived for, he stole my identity. He made me live as Samara, I was trying to outlive her shadow for years, I have left this place and got my new start, I got my fairy tale and then it was all ripped away.

But I was past the point of feeling bad. I was past the point of feeling anything. I was just numb as before. I just wanted it to end. There is no point in fighting. There is no point in trying to salvage when there was nothing to be salvaged anyway.

I find it difficult to move up to my room. So, I just settled myself on the couch. I pulled myself into it and pushed the cushion beneath my head. I have no one to call to. Nothing to do. I can just wish to see a sign, maybe I can start again, far away from here, where no one can ever find me. Maybe I just need to do that.
