AFTER BETRAYAL, I RETURNED WITH CUTE BABIES

Not Pregnant Again

Chloe's POV

"Sorry, the test was negative!" The family doctor, Mr. Charles broke the news to me as I sat in the middle of his office and my heart sank.

"Thank you" I muttered in a sullen tone, I rose and exited the office. I had mistaken some signs for pregnancy but I was wrong.

I guess I had been too desperate to have a child and right now, I was ready to do anything just to get pregnant.

Although my husband Lyon was a wreck in bed and barely satisfied my sexual needs, my yearning for a child of my own had overshadowed his flaws. I didn't care if I reached my orgasm or if he ejaculated after a few thrusts leaving me unsatisfied and empty, what mattered to me more than itself was being a mother.

It's been six years now since my marriage with Lyon, it has been one miscarriage to another, leaving me barren. I have tried everything possible, taking all the pills that were recommended to me by the doctors, yet they all seem futile.

And now, the thought of how I would break this news to Lyon again shattered my heart. I knew that I needed someone to talk to and if there was anyone whose words would soothe the pain that I was feeling, then it was Sherry, my childhood friend.

With the thought of her wrapped around my head, I immediately made a phone call to her, but after ringing desperately for countless times, it went straight to voicemail.

"I guess she must be busy at work" I tried to console myself but it did not seem like it was working, all that I wanted was a child, yet despite all my efforts, it wasn't working.

As I drove back home, my heart was heavy, tears prickled down the corner of my eyes, I felt so lost, the pain hanging firmly in my chest yet I knew that I still had to be back at home in time to make dinner for Lyon.

As soon as the car came to a halt, I realized that Lyon's car was also parked at the other side of the mansion.

"Guess he is back home early today" I muttered to myself with a long frustrating sigh that escaped my lips. Wiping off every strain of tears from my eyes as I scurried inside.

"Honey, you're home early!" I called out but the silence erupts in the whole house. He usually does not come home this early, except in an emergency.

The thought of how I was going to break the news lingered around my chest, and sadness crept through me, yet I knew that I had to be strong for the both of us. I was going to discuss it with him after dinner, the last thing that I needed was anything that was going to ruin our dinner.

Scurrying through the stairs, there was an awkward sound emanating from our room, one that I could not place my hands around. The further I went through the stairs, the more clearly the sound was emitting, like a female moan, but I knew that wasn't possible, there was no way that Lyon would bring another woman back home.

Curiosity engulfed me, and as I swung the door open, my eyes widened in utmost shock.

Lyon had his hands wrapped around Sherry, he kept on placing kisses around her naked body, his hands could not stop caressing her, with utmost lust that consumed his eyes, one that I never thought he could feel for any woman while thrusting back and forth inside of her.

Sherry clutched onto him firmly, her moan could be heard from across the hallway as she bit her lips seductively, no doubt that she was enjoying the moment, and even though she was the first that had seen me when I walked in, she curled her lips and smiled shamelessly.

"No.... This isn't happening."

I clutched onto my chest, slowly drifting backward as the pain intensified. It felt like I had been cut into tiny little pieces.

"Chloe?" Lyon called out to me as soon as he noticed my presence, he jerked away from her, his hands scrutinizing the room in search of his pants.

Sherry clutched firmly onto the blanket, there wasn't even a hint of remorse in her eyes, and the more that I stared at her, I noticed the devious smirk spread across her lips.

"What are you doing back home Chloe, I thought that you wouldn't be back until later today?"

Lyon requested, his eyes widened as he was trying to get a grasp of the situation. My gaze still trailing around the room, I badly wanted to believe that this was not true, that it wasn't happening right now before my eyes.

I had just caught my husband with my best friend, but no matter how much I didn't want this to be true, my heart was already choking on it, making it difficult to breathe.

"I am sorry that you had to find out like this, I was going to tell you about it."

"You were going to...." I stutter, still unable to form the right words.

"I am sorry Chloe, but this marriage between the both of us is no longer working and you know how much I badly wanted a child, that was all that I asked from you, yet you couldn't grant that to me, I will have to divorce you!"

"Divorce!" Lyon said the words with not even a hint of emotion in his eyes and as I froze there with my world crashing right before my feet, I could not believe that this was the same man that I had been married to for six years.

To be continued!

Chloe's POV

I stood right there, unable to move or make sense of what was happening before me. Although I have been trying to conceive for a while now, I never expected that it was my best friend, the one who always consoled me and encouraged me, who would do this to me.

"Lyon, what did you just say?" I asked him like I had snoozed off the whole time and did not hear him when he brutally requested for a divorce.

"You heard me, Chloe. I have tried, hoping that I would be able to keep up with you for much longer, but you are barren and there is no way that you will ever be useful to me."

He sneered at me, the cruelty in his eyes was slicing through my heart like a sword, I was feeling so crushed. These were the same people that I trusted most in the world and yet they stood before me with such news.

"You can't do that to me, Lyon, I know that it is taking time for us, but we are going to pull through, this is just a phase in our marriage."

"A phase?" He scoffed in disgust. "Did you just listen to yourself speak, this is not a phase Chloe, you are meant to be lonely and wretched for the rest of your life, how many times do I need to say it for you to understand."

He yelled at me, his eyes brimming with anger and impatient like I was a plague he badly wanted to get rid of. It was so hard for me to believe that this was the same man who had once looked at me with nothing but love in his eyes.

"Come on Chloe, how could you be so delusional to think that Lyon would go back to you especially after you couldn't give him what I gave him."

This time, Sherry's voice came through, there was not even a hint of remorse in those eyes, rather they were brimming with mockery as she bit her lips while staring at me disdainfully.

"What you gave him, what are you talking about?" I swallowed my spit, this time, I was clutching onto my chest, my heart had become heavy with the mixture of fear and pain that was slowly overwhelming me.

"Are you that dumb Chloe, that you can't see for yourself what is right before you."

Her hands trailed slowly to her stomach and she began to caress it, realization slowly began to overwhelm me that I was forced to drift backward, my eyes widened open in misery that was unfolding before me.

"You are saying..."

"Yes, you guessed right Chloe, Sherry is pregnant for me, she is carrying my child and there is no way that I would leave someone like her who has everything that I have ever wanted and wished for to be with someone like you."

"You are saying that Sherry is carrying your child, so this has been going on for a while, even all this while that you try to comfort me and assured me that I was going to get pregnant, you have been sleeping with my husband all this while!"

I yelled at the top of my lungs with my teeth gritted in rage at this truth that was unfolding before me, I was a fool all this while for the two of them.

"That is enough Chloe, I think that I have heard enough of you, you should sign the divorce paper, I would have told you that I am sorry for doing this, but I know it doesn't make any sense, so how about we just skip that part and you get right into signing the divorce!"

As I stood there, watching them make a mockery of me, I could vividly recall how Lyon and I had started. At first, I was reluctant to marry him, but after seeing how much he treated me with so much care and compassion.

Lyon was ready to go to the end of the world to get me just what I wanted, he made so many promises to me, and I was certain of a life forever with him.

"So all this while Sherry, you have been jealous of my marriage and wanted to take my man away from me?"

I snarled at her, even though I was hurting, I knew that I had to confront her.

"Lyon was not meant to be yours in the first place, I met him first, he was supposed to be mine all this while and not to a baren wretched thing like you!"

She cursed, that felt like I had reached the point where I could no longer endure it.

"Don't you dare speak to me like that!" I threatened furiously, lifting my hand in an attempt to slam her, but Lyon stood before her and he shoved me to the wall.

"I won't let you lay your filthy hands on Sherry, I think that I have had enough of you, you should leave right now."

Lyon's words pierced intensely into my heart, yet I forced the tears back, I grabbed the document and with the pen, I scribbled in my signature before looking at them one last time and as I did, a stream of tears rolled down my cheek.

"Have a nice day!" I forced out the word even though I was choking on the pain as I hurried upstairs where I packed up all of my belongings and in a few minutes, I was done with all of that.

Although it was dark outside yet, it did not matter to me, as long as I could get away from there and all of the pains attached to it.

But I had forgotten one thing there while I was in a hurry to leave, that was my cell phone.

And did not realize that as soon as I left, a text came through, it was a text that was meant to change my life, something that I had been badly craving for a long time yet I wasn't there to receive it.

To be continued!

Chloe's POV

It has been five years, five years after that brutal experience with Lyon and Sherry. It was that day that I made the decision that I had to start living for myself, I had to be happy and not try to make others feel happy.

I even left the car at Lyon's mansion that day since he was the one that bought it, I didn't want to have anything to do with him or his items so I took the town's bus.

I was headed to my Mom's place when the bus was involved in an accident.

"How much more pain do I have to face in one day?"

I muttered to myself while being rushed to the hospital, tears rolled down my cheek with the pain of the betrayal still lingering in my heart.

For me, it was like I had lost everything and I had no reason to be alive. I wanted to end my life, but once I was at the hospital, it was different from what I was told.

"Ma'am, although your injury is deep I am afraid that you will have to endure the pain while we go ahead and stitch up the wounds."

The doctor informed me while I lay on the patient's bed, my eyes trailed off at her and stopped right at the nurse next to him as I wondered why they would put me through so much pain when they could just give me an analgesic.

"Can't you use some sort of analgesic to ease the pain?" I suggested, wondering why she hadn't thought about that in the first place which had prompted me to suggest that to her, but she shook her head with a polite smile on her face.

"I understand ma, how this might be for you, but we are trying to be careful here and not endanger the life of your baby!"

She politely explained but I widened my gaze at her, confusion set in.

"Baby? What are you talking about?" I narrowed my gaze blankly at her, yet she seemed perplexed.

The doctor turned to stare at the nurse next to her whose gaze widened at me in confusion as they both exchanged a look.

"You are eight weeks pregnant and since the fetus is still tender, it is not advisable for analgesic to be used on you"

She explained after a moment of staring blankly at me.

"Pregnant, that is not possible!" I lamented in disbelief with my eyes wide open, I had been in the same hospital on that day the accident had occurred, how could they look me in the eyes after running my life and marriage and tell me that I was pregnant?

The doctor turned to the nurse who handed my files over to her, she curiously glanced at the file before she turned to me with a warm smile on her face.

"Oh, seems like there was a misunderstanding with the report but from the look of your files, it was sent over to you, I mean the real pregnancy report"

"So you are saying that I am pregnant?" A sore expression crept through my face as I stared into blank space, there were mixed feelings inside of me.

I knew that I should be happy, this was all that I had ever wanted, yet I could not tell why I felt sore at that moment especially knowing that I could not share this good news with Lyon.

"Yes, you are eight weeks pregnant and from the look of the ultrasound, it seems like two fetuses you are carrying."

She announced again, a warm smile filling her face, that smile was meant to warm my heart and make me happy about the kids I was carrying.

But I had just signed a divorce document, I was homeless with no job and two babies on their way, there was no way that anyone would be happy about such news.

But standing right at the airport as I thought about what my life looked like years ago, a smirk deepened on my lips.

I had worked hard with pregnancy, working several jobs together, and I needed money to start my own business, I had always wanted to be a designer but Lyon had always talked me out of it saying it was of no essence since he provided me with everything that I needed.

Thinking about it, I did not object to it, I just went along with this idea even though I knew that it wasn't the best for me.

But I pulled through, I was able to start up my dream as a designer, gave birth to my twin and now we all stood at the airport ready to go back to that place which once brought me nothing but pain and sorrow.

"Mom! Once we go back, do we get to see Daddy?" Penny who took most of my features asked, her tiny voice was sharp and whenever she wanted something, she never gave up on it.

"Why do you bother asking, or have you forgotten that Mom told us that we have no daddy and we don't need him."

Her brother Ryan reminded her. Although he took over most of Lyon's features, he was calm, he was the intelligent one.

Even at his age, Ryan could tell when I was sad and he never bothered me with questions that might only sore my mood the more.

"Don't worry guys, there is so much you are going to explore."

I reminded them with a smile, but deep down within me, I was filled with pain and resentment. It had been five years but the memory of that fateful day never left me.

Seeing my best friend in the arms of my husband and being reminded of my imperfection, forced to raise two kids on my own, but now that I am back, I am going to make them pay for everything that they did to me and they are never going to see it coming.
