Thin Line Between Love And Hate: Ex-Husband's Regrets
“"What a surprise," Sofia cooed, eyes icy as they flicked from Alina's hair to her dress. "Didn't expect to see you here or dressed like... that." Alina's breath hitched, but she kept her voice calm. "It's a public event, Sofia." Sofia sniffed. "Some of us just expected better standards." "It's funny, really. You keep showing up where you're not wanted. You weren't even good enough as a wife, and now you are trying to seduce someone else into cleaning up your mess?" Alina stepped forward. "Don't you dare talk to me like that." "Oh? Is it not true? You're just a parasite who clings to powerful men, hoping one of them finally chooses you..." "At least l was legally married to him" she spat back, her contemptuous words cutting through the air like a knife. Sofia advanced towards Alina, pushing her hard on the chest. Barely standing firm as she clung onto a nearby chair. Sofia was going for another push. In defense she pushed Sofia, Sofia staggered far backward that she had pushed her. Sofia fell on the glossy floor clutching her belly. "Ah! My baby, why would you want to hurt my baby" while letting out hot pretentious tears. "She pushed me!" "I didn't!" Alina exclaimed in shock, it...it...it was in defense. David stepped forward, eyes blazing. "What the hell is wrong with you, Alina?!" "Do you want me so bad that you're willing to hurt my unborn child?" While raising his hand to slap Alina, Alina, not knowing what to expect closed her eyes and before David's hand could come any closer. Zane's hand caught his wrist mid-air. "Don't you dare lay your filthy hands on my woman," he growled. Silence fell. Zane's eyes were ice. David looked stunned. And Alina her eyes widened, her heart hammering. "You touch her," Zane said in a voice laced with steel, "and I'll make sure you never touch anything again." The tension cracked in the air. David who clearly wasn't really to back down, scoffed "your woman? I've been in her before you". "She was mine first". *** Alina was so in love with her husband even though deep down, she knew it was one-sided. She believed he would one day grow to love her. Her husband has always been obsessed with his childhood crush. He finally made it known when he handed her the divorce papers. That night changed a lot of things in her life, one of which was pregnancy from a total stranger. You'll not be prepared for what's coming next!!! See for yourself...”
