Chapter 67
Chapter 67
Jack's POV
I was still staring at the place where she was standing 5 minutes ago along with my daughter.
I had seen Anna after one year and she was looking breathtaking. She has that shine in her eyes which
was missing when she was with me.
I had ruined her innocence and broke her. I had never wanted to do that but in my stupidity, I had done
it.
I thought about the moment when I saw her talking to that bastard Carson.
I was calm because I know that she won't cheat on me and I had seen worse.
John, the doctor, had used pictures of Anna with her college friends to test me.
In the initial months, I used to scream and got angry when I had heard from John that they were my
Wife's boyfriend.
[Ok. I am not a psychologist so I don't know how they work. So don't need to say that it is wrong. This
is just a story. Keep that in your mind.]
But with the help of some therapies and not to forget medicine, I had learned how to control it.
So the scene where Carson was complimenting my wife was nothing and I also know that he actually
likes her.
But to his bad luck, my wife is only mine. I had done this therapy just for her and our babies.
I would have never done it if I don't love Anna. She had become my drug, my lifeline, my addiction and This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
my heartbeat.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked beside me and saw a sad-looking Charlotte.
"She will come around Jack. Don't worry about it but you have to apologise to her. And also we have to
tell her about Maria." She said softly.
I clenched my jaw when I heard that bitch's name. It's a good thing that she is on run otherwise I would
have killed her.
I always had treated her like my mother and what she did, she ruined me.
Just because of her I was about to lose my wife and my children. Just because of her I have to go
away from them for almost one year.
"I'll kill that bitch." I told her in a cold voice.
She sighed and said "I don't know what to say. Richard had told me that they are still looking for Maria.
But didn't find her in these six months."
Then she added, "Anyways come let's go home."
I nodded and grabbed her hand and took her toward the parking. I sat on the back seat and she sat
beside me.
The driver started the car and drove toward the house. I couldn't call it my home and my wife and our
children were not there.
We reached the home and I straight went to my room which I used to share with Anna.
I walked to the closet and saw her dresses there which was neatly hanging in the wardrobe.
I picked up a t-shirt and sweatpants and opened the door of the bathroom where I saw her stuff.
I walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower and wearing my clothes.
I picked up my phone and dialled Anna's number. I want to talk to her and our babies.
But I got the shock of my life when I heard that my daughter is in the hospital.
My heart was pounding in my chest when I imagined the scene. I told her that I'll be there.
I had informed Charlotte that I am leaving for the hospital and told her to stay at home.
She was about to argue but I left the house. I reached the hospital in 5 minutes.
I walked inside the hallway after asking the room number from the receptionist.
But I saw Anna and her mother in between my way. She was wearing her nightclothes.
I moved my legs toward them and saw that the bitch was about to raise her hand on my wife.
I fasten my pace and grabbed Sandra's hand and coldly said: "I dare you to do that again."
She froze and looked at me with fearful eyes. She should be afraid of me.
I squeezed her hand tightly and twisted it making her scream in pain.
"Didn't I tell you to stay away from my family?" I asked her in a hard voice
She nodded her hand and few tears left from her eyes due to the pain which I am inflicting on her wrist.
"Then why did you raise your hand on my wife? Do you want to lose this job too along with your
husband's job?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"I am sor...rry. P..le..se lea..ve my ha...nd" she sobbed and I left her hand with a jerk.
I took some steps away from her and said "Leave"
She practically ran from there without looking at us and I could hear her cries.
I looked at Anna who was still staring at her mother's retreating figure. She was in a daze and I placed
a hand on her shoulder.
She looked at me then blinked twice her eyes and said: "I could have handled her."
"Just like you had handled Mia right. That's why you didn't call me right." I asked her with a calm voice.
She gulped and licked her dry lips then turned her face away but didn't say anything.
I took a deep breath and said: "Where is Mia?"
She bit her lips and said "this way" and started to walk toward that direction.
I saw Richard and Rose sitting in front of the door. I nodded at them and Rose just raised her eyebrow
at me.
I shook my head and was about to leave when I heard Richard say "We have found her. Right now she
is at your house."
I clenched my jaw and swallowed the anger which was rising continuously and said "I'll talk to her
tomorrow. Right now Mia is my priority."
I opened the door and the first thing I heard is her cries. There my princess was crying and no one was
there.
I looked at Anna and saw that her eyes were widened and she was looking at me with guilt.
I went toward Mia and stood beside her bed. Her face was red due to crying and an IV was attached to
her little hands.
I caressed her cheeks and wiped her tears and she looked at me with her teary eyes and wailed "pa"
I sat on the bed and took her in my arms carefully, not wanting to tug her IV.
I cradled her against my chest and patted her back like Anna do when babies were crying.
I bent down a little to kiss her forehead which was indeed warm. Her wailed reduced and now she was
just whimpering.
I am finally feeling contented after taking her in my arms. I looked up at Anna and saw that she was
looking at us in awe.
"What happened to her?" I asked her in a whisper as I didn't want to disturb a peaceful looking Mia.
"She has a fever and a cold. Avril is going to keep her overnight." Anna replied softly.
"Where is Matthew?" I asked her while playing with Mia curls.
She sat down on the bed in front of me and said: "He is with Jane."
We stayed silent for a few minutes then I finally decided that I will tell her about my past and my
problem and Maria's betrayal.
"Anna" I called her and she looked at me with those green eyes innocently.
"I have to tell you about myself." I finally let out after a lot of courage.
"Is this a good time?" She asked me while tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"This is the time. I know you will be confused after listening to me. But let me complete it." I said with a
soft tone which I had mastered in these 10 months.
She sighed and said "I am listening"
