I walked downstairs to find Grandfather I needed to tell him the truth
I saw Grandfather talking to guards
Grandfather waited I called out as I hurried down the stairs.Grandfather stopped and turned around. There is something I cannot hide from you anymore I am….
Before I could finish, the secretary rushed inside, Sir! You need to take this call
Grandfather quickly took the phone.
After a moment, he looked at me Mia I
have to go to the dockyard now We will talk when I come back But Grandfather, I need to tell you something important,child Tell me when I retire.
had finally found the courage to tell Grandfather about my pregnancy, but now I had to wait I walked back to my bedroom
I need to get out of here I need some fresh air
I picked up my purse and left my room.I did not want to go anywhere crowded, so I drove toward the coast and stopped at a restaurant. It was a place where people came for business meetings and lunch.
I parked my car, walked inside the restaurant, and picked a table where the sea breeze was blowing. I sat down and closed my eyes as the cool wind touched my face. It felt good and helped calm my stomach. A waiter came over, and I ordered a glass of warm water with lemon. my contract.
Before I could answer him, his phone started ringing,Alex pulled it out I have to take this call as he stood up I will be back.
Well, well, well. Look who’s sitting here all alone I turned around and saw Jack walking toward me with Nina beside him.
What happened, Mia Jack asked with a mocking smile Did you finally realize nobody wants you around? Or are you still sitting here hoping I will suddenly remember that I used to love you?
Nina tightened her arm around Jack’s. Maybe she’s waiting for you to take her back, she added with a laugh. Poor Mia. She still hasn’t accepted that you chose me.
Honestly Mia I feel sorry for you Nina continued. You’re sitting here alone watching the man you lost walk away with another woman. But then again, I guess this is what happens when a woman has nothing left to offer.
Nina how dare you talk nonsense about me? I am warning you Be careful of what comes out of your filthy mouth,I warned, staring straight into her eyes.
Oh see who is talking What are you going to do if I don’t
I slapped her hard across the face.Nina stumbled back, holding her cheek. You are mad!
No I am not mad. Do you think I am a fool?
Nina’s face turned red. How dare you touch my fiancé?
Jack stepped toward me, He raised his hand.Before he could touch me, someone grabbed his wrist,”
Jack froze and turned around. His eyes widened when he saw Alex standing behind him, holding his wrist Alex? I did not know you were back in the country.
Alex released his wrist and looked at him I came back recently.
Jack rubbed his wrist and looked at Mia before turning back to Alex. This is between me and my ex-wife. You don't need to get involved.
Your ex-wife?
Yes, my ex-wife, Jack replied. She slapped Nina, so I was about to deal with her.
Alex frowned Deal with her by hitting her? Being her ex-husband does not give you the right to put your hands on her.
Jack's face tightened as he looked at Alex. You don't know what happened between us. She has always been difficult, and I know how to deal with her.
I don't need to know everything I saw you raise your hand at her, and that was enough Nina stepped closer to Jack, still holding her cheek. Alex, she attacked me first. I was only talking to her.
I looked at Nina made my anger rising again. You came here to insult me. I warned you to be careful with your words, but you kept going.
Nina looked at me angrily, but Alex turned toward her. You should have stopped when she warned you.
Jack shook his head and looked at Alex. Why are you taking her side? You don't even know what happened in our marriage.
I don't need to know everything about your marriage. After seeing how you treated her here, I can understand why Mia left.
I prepared to leave. I had already spent enough time listening to Jack and Nina, and I did not want to give them another chance to ruin my day.
Alex moved aside to let me pass, but Jack suddenly called my name. Mia, wait.
I stopped and turned around. What do you want? Jack looked at Alex and then back at me. Why is my cousin protecting you?
