Chapter 2 CH 2 REGRET

Liam's Point Of View

After Mia dropped the divorce paper on my office desk, and she walked out of my office, Sliver came into my office. I wasn't expecting her to be honest. We have not been in contact with each other since she traveled out of the country and after the cheating scandal.

"You didn't tell me you guys had divorced," she said, obviously pissed that I didn't carry along in the whole process.

As I was about to respond to her, I got a call that Mia was at the hospital and that she had gotten into an accident. At that point, I didn't know how to feel or how to react. I just felt neutral at that point.

"What is wrong babe" Sliver asked me as she noticed my worried expression.

"Mia was involved in an accident," I answered her, as I gathered my things and picked up my car keys. Sliver was following me behind, when I got into my car I drove to the location of the hospital she was rushed to.

When we got to the hospital, her dad and stepmother were at the hospital already. I heard the doctor telling them that the children are safe and healthy, but she shouldn't stress herself too much, and she needs enough rest.

Children??? Is the baby more than one?? I question myself. In order to confirm if what I had just heard was the right thing, I walked toward the doctor to ask him what he meant by children.

"Hello sir," I greeted the doctor, stretching my hand towards him for a handshake.

"I heard you saying children, what do you mean?" I asked curiously.

"She is pregnant with twins" the doctor answered, and I was shocked.

We were still in the waiting room, waiting for her to walk up, and I began to think a lot of things, at this point I was confused. I don't know if I should choose between love or my children. If she had listened to me and aborted that pregnancy, I wouldn't be so confused right now.

FLASHBACK

When I saw Mia for the first time, I was only attracted to her because of her nice shape. I don't love her, I knew Mia was crushing on me right from when we were in high school. I only got married to her because I wanted to get back to her step-sister. I have been in love with Sliver for the past 9 years because we were high school lovers. But one thing led to another. Sliver left the country and cheated on me. I wanted to get back at her, so I decided to cheat on her with her sister, who is Mia.

The fourth time I met Mia was at the club with her friends. I won't lie that I wasn't attracted to her. I was so attracted to her that that night we were both drunk, and we ended up having sex with each other. Not knowing that Mia was a virgin, I felt guilty that day.

I woke up from bed the next day while Mia was still asleep, I walked into the bathroom to take a shower. After I was done, I came out of the bathroom only to meet Mia sitting on the bed crying.

"What is wrong, Mia?" I asked her, but she did not answer me. She just kept crying.

She just stood up from the bed with the blanket around her body and walked to the bathroom. I looked back at where she stood up from. That is when I saw a small blood stain on the bed.

"Oh my god, she should have told me she was a virgin and I wouldn't have made an advancement towards her," I said, obviously pissed about everything.

She walked out of the bathroom wet with a towel around her waist which barely covered her ass. I was lost staring at her until she cleared her throat. I can swear Mia is a very beautiful lady with a nice figure that can make a man go crazy, but I don't love her and am only sexually attracted to her. How do I tell her this is a one-time thing without getting her hurt because I just took her innocence?

The fact that I broke her virginity was what made me get married to her. I felt sorry for using her, but the deed was done already. I married Mia out of guilt, not out of love.

The first year of our marriage was kind of blissful. I was trying my best to make her feel loved. But I ended up falling out of love with her. When Sliver came back into my life, she reignited the long lost love I had for her.

I noticed I wasn't giving Mia peace of mind, and Sliver also advised me to end whatever I had with Mia for us to be together, so that is why I decided to end the marriage by giving her a divorce. At least, she will be able to meet another person that will love and cherish her more than I do, because she deserves the best.

The whole thing got worse when she told me she was pregnant. I don't want a child from Mia, I only want a child from Sliver. I want a child from someone I love. I don't want the child to go through any traumatic experience because I don't know if I will be able to extend my love to the child, since I don't love the mother.

I don't want my child to go through what I also experienced as a child. My parents were in an arranged marriage and I won't say it is one of the best. They never loved each other, their love didn't extend towards me. That is why I asked Mia to abort the child.

END OF FLASHBACK

At this point, I am so confused. The doctor informed us that she was awake and everyone rushed into her ward.

"Hold on, slow down, you don't want to disturb other patients in the ward," the doctor instructed, smiling.

"My baby," her daddy said as he sat down at the side of Mia's bed.

"How is my baby doctor??" Mia asked as she placed her hand on her tummy even though there was no visible bump there yet.

"Your babies are fine," The doctor responded as he noted down some stuff.

"Wait.... What??? Babies??" she asked, surprised.

"Yes ma'am, babies. You are pregnant with twins" the doctor announced, and a small smile appeared on her face.

This is the first time, since we were married, that I have saw a genuine smile on her face. When her eyes met mine, her facial expression changed to an angry one immediately.

"Dad, what is he doing here?" she asked her father, pointing her fingers at me.

"I called him when you got into an accident. At least he is the father of your unborn children," her dad explained.

"Well, Dad, he is not the father to my children. My children have no father. When they grow up, I will tell them their father is dead." she say every word with venom and meaning every single thing she just said. I was in pain, I won't deny it, I felt a sharp piercing pain in my chest. After all, I told her to abort the child, so I don't have any right to claim the child.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked her, trying to ease the tension in the room.

"Why do you care? Do you ever care how I was feeling before? I don't need your pity." she responded to me rudely, and I opened and closed my mouth.

Mia never speaks to me like this, I don't know what has gotten over her, I thought.

"I don't need you here, I don't need your help, neither do I need you around me. I can do things on my own. I have been doing things on my own when I was married to you," she said, and I could not say anything, at least not in her current position.

"Dad, please tell him to get out. Your presence is not welcome here," she declared.

After she said that, I just excused myself from her ward.

Her father walked up to me outside the ward where I sat, and patted my back in a comforting way, not like I cared either. I drive back home, as different thoughts run through my head.

Did I make a mistake by sleeping with Mia 6 years ago?? Did I make a mistake by getting married to her?? Did I make a mistake by divorcing her?? I asked myself all those questions, but there was no answer to them. I banged my fist on my steering wheel and I screamed out in frustration.

Be strong, I encourage myself. I did all that I did for the best, and I did them for her too. I'm not remorseful about it, it is not my loss because I got my love back.
