Chapter 36


    ~Christopher’s POV~


    When I returned home, screams greeted me. Then I overheard a man conversing. I recognized the


    voice as Henry’s. My wife’s cry echoed through the house once more. I dashed upstairs and saw her


    trying to walk.


    “Give me my son! I want my boy!” She screamed. I tried to reach out and hug her, but she pushed me


    away.


    “Do not touch me; give me my son!” I nced at her and realized there was no way I could pacify her.


    She had a strong suspicion that something had happened to her son.


    “Camille, Liam is in good health.”


    “Do not tell me that my son is fine. I’d like to see him. Can you tell me why you don’t want me to see


    him?”


    Henry had before informed me that Liam had not yet awoken. That’s one reason he won’t let her see


    him. She snatched up the crutches and began crushing everything in her path. She then fell to the floor.


    “Please, Chris.” She pleaded. I’ve never seen Camille in this light. I did not know how much my son


    meant to her. She was going to hurt herself, so I had to stop her. I went to carry her since I knew


    conversing with her would be pointless. Of course, she hit my back until we got to the room where Liam


    was in. I set her down and took her face in my hands.


    “Listen to me! Here is your son!” I shrieked because that was the only way she would stop dreaming


    that something might have happened to Liam. “He is fine!” Her gaze shifted to Liam’s position. She


    gathered one of her crutches and proceeded to Liam’s side. This time, she broke down in tears softly.


    “I’m sorry, sweetheart; I’m a terrible Mommy. I was preparing for the worst. My Cielito, I’m very sorry.”


    She then rose to her feet and failed to elevate one of her legs. I approached her. We have our


    disagreements, but I know she requires my help. I embraced her.


    “There is nothing to be afraid of since I am here to help you, babe.”


    “Chris, is my baby alright? Why hasn’t he moved?”


    “When you were sleeping he woke up, but we told him you woulde to see him.” I lied, he hasn’t


    woken up since. This is the only way to pacify her. I should have killed Jack, but I need his services.


    udia must make restitution. I’m going to hurt her. We parted ways long ago. I never told anyone the


    reason I wanted her out of my life. My parents and grandparents were the only ones who knew what


    had happened, but half the story, something had been off about udia. She never loved me or


    Joshua, she was after something, but what? Despite everything, she was still the mother of my son.


    But, she is not a mother at the moment. How could she attempt to kill her own son? I expected this


    woman to change. I raised my eyes to the girl in front of me. She is the woman who I married. Not out


    of affection, but because I desired my grandfather’s withdrawal. I did not know I would feel so strongly


    for her that every woman would appear so mundane. I loved her from the start and I continue to


    secretly love my wife. But how do Imunicate my sentiments to a girl that is close enough in age to


    be my baby sister? It pains me to hurt her, yet I am powerless to stop myself from expressing my


    affection for a girl, like my wife. She thinks I don’t find her attractive, but she is the most attractive


    woman I’ve ever met. Furthermore, my affection will only serve to harm her. I am a non-believer in love


    and my wife seems to be the kind that believes in family and true love, but I don’t have time for those


    two things. I’m not sure if the feelings I have for her are ones of love or lust. But one thing is certain, I


    will protect her for the sake of our family and for the sake of whatever the hell I’m feeling for her. I


    fucking pray this is not Hindi(Love). I don’t understand thisnguage and I fucking don’t wish to


    understand it. I carried her to bed andy with her and Liam on the same bed. I’ve never slept with both


    of them in this way before. It felt incredible. I waited for my wife to fall asleep, then quietly left the room


    for my study.


    “Give me all the information I need about my ex-wife. Leave nothing behind.” I said to Robin. I then


    looked at my friend, “Henry, pleasee with me to my study.”


    My friend Henry arrived shortly afterward. I am very grateful that he is both a friend and a family


    physician. He entered with an unusually long face.


    “How did you get such a long face?”


    “I’ve been desiring to speak with you. Liam does not appear to be in excellent health. Although no


    damage has been done, I get the distinct impression that he slept for an extended period of time. I


    attempted to wake him but received no response.”


    “What is the matter with him?”


    “He is still reeling from the shock, Chris. What actually happened? Your wife also does not look good,


    but she is a strong woman. However, I advise that you tell her the truth about your son, but not yet. She


    isn’t doing well now. Wait for her to recover and you can tell her that Liam hasn’t woken up since the


    ident. For the time being, all I can say is, rather tell her half the truth.”


    “udia tried to assassinate my wife, and when she spotted Liam, she attempted to assassinate Liam,


    knowing how important Liam is to Cam. To be honest, this is entirely my fault. I weed this


    woman upon her return and slept with her. My wife caught me sleeping with udia, not once, but


    twice. That is why she left; I knew that if I took Liam away from her, she would take it badly. So when


    she served me with the divorce and custody papers, I elected to entrust her with sole custody of Liam.


    She was not nning to stay here. She left with Liam by her side. It appears as though I am awful


    news for her. We reconnected today following months of trailing her and now this.”


    “Chris, you know that I will always tell the truth. Why are you causing harm to your family over an old


    me? You never exined why you divorced udia, but if she attempted to assassinate her own


    son, she clearly did not want the boy. Additionally, you are aggravating issues with your struggle to love


    your son. Your son ispletely innocent in this case. You and udia brought that child into the


    world, and yet the two of you show no interest in him. If you ask me, your wife is God-sent. Your son is


    unaware she is not his biological mother. Put an end to your family’s suffering. Chris, if you want to be


    with udia, leave your wife and son alone.”


    “I wish it were that simple. Henry, I’m having difficulty letting go of my wife. Simply because I love her,


    not even fucking sure if it’s love, but what I feel for her is rare. Yet, I cannot inform her of this because


    of her age. I’m unable to sleep with her. When she wants to see other males, I lose it and end up


    crossing the line. What would she think of me if she discovered my desire for her? You and I both know


    that I am incapable of remaining faithful to a singledy. What if I cause her harm? I’d rather look like a


    jerk who hurts her feelings thanmit.”

    “What if she already knows that you love her, what if she feels the same way about you, what if she has


    no problem with your age? I mean, she married you knowing you were older. Look, as you and I both


    know, there was no love involved in my marriage to Yvonne. I married her because they adamantly


    opposed me to marrying Lynn. You are well aware of my story? Yvonne and I never loved each other,


    but we became acquainted. She is also quite young, though not as much as Cam. But, I learned to


    love her and got to know her, and trust me, Yvonne is the best woman and I am happy that I married


    her. Have you ever tried to get to know your wife? Have you asked her if she has a problem with the


    age difference that you keep on using as an excuse? Chris, get to know your wife before you lose it


    all.”


    “Nope, I’m already aware of the response. I cannot provide her with what she desires. Although I’m


    uncertain, I’m certain she cares about me.”


    “Well, let us hope you don’t wake up toote. This is the time to mature, but if you continue to y


    games, you will lose everything and will have only yourself to me. That youngdy loves your son.


    It’s as if she has no reason to continue without Liam. Before it’s toote for your miserable ass, ask her


    what she wants. I will return tomorrow morning to check on them.”


    Robin entered just as Henry was leaving. With a handful of files in his hands,


    “I conducted some research on your ex-wife. It’s the same old story. She dated Joshua for five years


    before he married his wife. She came to you to arouse his envy. But, we are well aware of this, as


    shown by the time you sought a divorce and she fled the country. She had a second lover.”


    “What do you mean? How did she acquire another boyfriend after giving birth?”


    “It wasn’t a casual encounter, sir. She wed him in order to flee the nation. She remains married to him


    to this day, despite the fact that no one knows where Jacob Roberson is.”


    “What, she is married to Jacob Roberson and has been having sex with his twin brother as well? Who


    am I deceiving? This is not the first time she has done something like this. You may leave. And Robin,


    for the time being. Tell my wife Liam woke up, but she was sleeping. Don’t tell her he hasn’t moved. It


    will kill her.” He nodded and left.
