So you’re saying I’m only capable of getting things done by deception? Jeremy asked sternly. “No! Of course not sit
Cold sweat broke out on Xavier’s forehead. “I just think if you don’t want to separate from Madam, then why don’t you just tell her that? Tell her how you feel?”
“How I feel?” Jeremy sneered. “Hmph. I’ve already made up my mind about how I feel. We are never getting back together!”
“Then why did you¡ª”
“Drive!” Jeremy roared, nearly causing Xavier to hit the brakes. He bit his lip, staying quiet for the rest of the drive.
Jeremy leaned back in his seat, feeling unbelievably tired.
Only then did he remember the quartz shards he had picked up before they left.
The shards had pierced his skin, causing drops of blood to ooze and bleed from his palm.
What had gotten into him? He had wanted so badly to bring Allison home tonight, away from Jonah Taylor and his family, away from Belbank.
All he had wanted was for Allison to come home with him.
…
After seeing Axel off, Alyssa went to console her father alongside Jonah and Silas. Only after that did she finally get some time to herself.
She remained deep in thought for a while. In the end, she sent Mandy, Colene, and Lyla each a text message. “Come to the garden, please. I’ll be waiting in the Cloud Pavilion. There’s something I have to tell you guys.”
Five minutes later, the three women had gathered in the garden. Their usually boisterous selves were now silent and calm before Alyssa.
Alyssa was sitting in a gazebo, arms crossed over her chest, and her brows knitted tightly. It looked like she was about to give them a lecture.
Mandy and Lyla shared a look but said nothing.
Colene, as usual, went straight to the point. “Did you want to tell us something, Alyssa? You need to start talking because we have no idea what’s happening.”
Alyssa lightly shook her head. Colene was as direct as ever.
“Is there anything you want to tell me about after you and Mandy stepped out in my defense earlier tonight?”
“There really isn’t much to tell, dear.” Colene sat down in front of Alyssa, crossing one leg over the other. “If it weren’t for Mandy and Lyla, I would have cut that man down and strung him up to feed Bobo.”
“Who’s Bobo?”
Mandy answered, “Colene’s pet alligator. Winston gave it to her for her birthday last year.”
Alyssa was left speechless.
Lyla noticed that Alyssa’s face had changed a shade, so she quickly went to stop Colene. “Alright, Colene. Why don’t we change the topic…”
“I’m being 100% honest here! That’s what family is for!” Colene cried, getting riled up. “Alyssa, you can’t deny that Jeremy is the asshole of the ages. Even my Bobo is more humane than him!”
“You married him and gave him your all for three whole years. You gave up your life here to suffer there as what? His nanny? Look what he did to repay you! He’s a god-awful douchebag! Men like him deserve to be hit by a car!”
“He already made it clear that he never loved me. I’ve anticipated he would go and marry someone he actually loves, so there’s no point holding on.
“What I want to know is why did you all have to drag this thing out between us? It adds nothing to my life.” Alyssa massaged her aching temples, sighing.
She continued, “The more we drag things on, the more suffering arises. It will only chip away at our sanity, bit by bit. Why can’t we just let time wash it away…”
“Like hell!” Colene yelled, jumping up furiously and gripping Alyssa’s shoulders. “How do you expect time to wash that away? I know I can’t! You bore his child, Alyssa! Has he no heart?”
Alyssa’s face paled instantly. Colene’s words sliced into her heart like invisible blades, and pain began to lance through every part of her mind and body.
“We swore to never speak of that, Colene!” Mandy gasped, pulling Colene away from Alyssa.
“Can we please not talk about that, Colene?” Lyla added worriedly. “Alyssa doesn’t want to bring that up.”
“He doesn’t know.”
Alyssa slowly looked up at the three women, holding her tears back. “I never told him. I never told Jeremy I was pregnant with his baby.”
That incident had caused Alyssa pain for a very long time,
Two years ago, she lost her child in an accident. Since then, she had been consistently avoiding shops that sold infant products.
She stayed away whenever the lople of children came up. She couldn’t even stop herself from breaking down when bables appeared on television
It was Christmas Eve, and she had driven to the beach with Newton as they wanted to look at the snow displays there. They had a car accident on the way there.
However, Alyssa had saved him first before checking on her own lojales. They were rushed to the hospital soon after.
At that point in time, the rest of the Walsh’s had gone overseas to celebrate, whereas Jeremy had joined Liana for a holiday.
Alyssa had withstood the immense pain in her belly while waiting for Ben to turn up. She ended up collapsing, thoroughly exhausted.
“Madam Allison, you’re bleedingl
She vaguely remembered bleeding profusely down there, the warm sensation bringing with it a deep terror. Only then did she realize she had been pregnant, Later, they found out she had been pregnant for two months. 1
But she had been stripped of the chance to be a mother before she’d even seen the child. It was hers and Jeremy’s child.
1¨CI’ll have Mr. Jeremy come home right away!” Ben had frantically pulled out his phone, but Alyssa stopped him before he could make the call.
“Please please don’t She had been terrified amidst the despair of the situation. She sobbed weakly as she said, “Jeremy he doesn’t know. He’d just get mad at me if he knew. So please, keep this a secret from him
Back in the present, Alyssa clutched her belly as if the pain from that night was recurring.
Seeing this, Colene hugged her tight, with Mandy and Lyla following suit. The three women formed a protective blanket around Alyssa as she relived the pain from those years ago. 1
“I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault! I won’t bring it up again, Alyssa. I won’t! Please don’t cry,” Colene mumbled.
“I should feel happy for the child, really,” Alyssa rasped, a bitter smile surfacing on her face. “Better to stay away from a lifetime of witnessing its parents’ broken marriage and never getting its father’s love.”
Alyssa didn’t get any sleep that night.
When she closed her eyes, that familiar sight of blood would appear in her mind. She remained curled up in bed until morning, trying to hold onto her sanity while memory ravaged her mind.
After losing her child, she spent the days crying until she had no more tears left.
She could withstand the slaughters of war but not the loss of this precious life she had nurtured inside her. It felt like her soul had been torn in half.
Alyssa said quietly to herself, “I’m so sorry, baby. Mommy’s so sorry. I don’t know If I’ll ever be able to see you in this life again.”
The following day, Alyssa dragged her tired body out of bed. She then cleaned hersell up before going downstairs, so no one could tell she had just had one of the most distressing nights of her life.
“Lyse dear, I’ve made your favorites for breakfast. Have some before you go.” Lyla came over to greet her, still in an apron. Her heart ached. for Alyssa upon seeing her slightly bloodshot eyes.
“Could you pack it up for me, please? I’ll eat on the way out.” Alyssa gave her a kind smile in return. “I need to attend a board meeting at the hotel in two hours.”
“Alright,” Lyla bearned. “I’ll pack some for Sean too.”
Thank you, Madam! Sean, who had entered the kitchen just in time to catch the conversation, quickly expressed his gratitude.
Alyssa left the manor with Sean without alerting Winston, heading back to Solana City.
“Alyssa, you must tell us if you face any problems or get into any trouble while managing the hotel, especially if the Walsh family tries to do anything to you. We can always back you up.”
Mandy gritted her teeth, recalling how Sophia Kirkman and her gang of bitches had attacked Alyssa the last time they were at the auction event. “I’ll make sure they never get another chance to speak to you like that again. I’ll slip a good poison in their drinks so their tongues fall out of their mouths!”
“You should give them one that paralyzes them from the waist down!” Colene called out. “How dare they bully our dear Alyssa?
Alyssa laughed, finding the two women incredibly amusing.
Though their statements were not entirely without credibility.
Mandy grew up surrounded by apothecaries and doctors. Her family exerted significant influence over the medical industry in both Belbank and Solana City. So, Mandy really wasn’t exaggerating when she said she could make Sophia’s tongue fall off.
“Ahem. There is something I could use your help with Alyssa cleared her throal.
