Chapter 70 MORR LIKE A BASTARD

• Kiara's POV
• I bolted the door quickly, turned around, and pressed my back against it, weeping profusely. I couldn't comprehend why exactly I was crying this way, was it because I saw him unexpectedly tonight? Or was it because Henry has announced our engagement date without my proper consent? Ruffling my hair like a crazy woman, I crouched to the floor, sprawling my legs. “Why would you do this to me, Alexander?” My voice choked with sobs while my shoulders trembled violently, “I thought you loved me, I thought I meant the world to you, Alexander; I thought I was the only woman in your eyes but then…” My voice continued to quaver as more tears spilled out of my eyes hysterically. I've found out about his marriage since the moment I returned to this country, but I don't know why it still hurts so much. I've also moved on, haven't I? Very soon, I'll be getting married to Henry. At the thought of this in my mind, I felt my heart miss a bit. Looking down at my chest, I pressed a hand on it. “Why are you affected by the news, dear Heart? Don't you want me to get married to Henry? He's a good person, who has been taking good care of me and my child for a long time now” Knock! Knock! Knock! “Kiara, are you in there?” asked Henry from outside, I quickly jumped to my feet, cleaned my face, and straightened out the creases of my dress. I was afraid of arousing unnecessary suspicion. Drawing a long deep breath, I unbolted the door and opened it wide, putting on a glassy smile. “Are you okay?” He asked carefully, walking wholly into the bedroom. I turned my back against him, walking to the bed, “Of course I am, why?” I asked, avoiding his gaze while I adjusted the pillows on it.
• “You don't look so good to me, and there you are, avoiding eye contact with me. You tend to do that, whenever something is bothering you” Listening to his words, I twisted my lips and slightly raised my head to look at him. Little by little, he approached where I was and asked gently, “Is there something you want to tell me?” I lowered my head, not knowing how to broach the topic. Right then, I felt his index finger on my jaw, lifting my head to look straight into his eyes. His roman nose, prominent cheekbones, and sexy lips, all put together, made him look so handsome. “I just thought you were going to discuss it with me before you conveyed it” I spoke my heart in a good nature mood and I watched as his face squeezed into a deep frown, he gradually spun around then left where he was standing. “I knew what your response would be, Kiara, and that was why I couldn't inform you first,” He said in a stern voice, no doubt, he was getting angry but endeavoring to restrain himself. “But have you forgotten about your promise so soon, didn't you say you're going to wait until Aiden addresses you as his Daddy?” I also moved to stand right in front of him, looking up at his face for answers. “What else do you want me to do, Kiara? It's more like you've told the kid that I'm not his biological father; otherwise I can't understand why he finds it so difficult to call me Dad” His voice was becoming hysterical now. “I never told him such, Henry, and you know it” I also raised my voice slightly. “Then explain to me why he wouldn't call me his father when he hasn't seen another man apart from me while growing up” Tears pooled into my eyes directly, I parted my lips but couldn't provide a sound. After throwing me a final glance, he trotted out of the room. Again, I burst into a fresh wave of tears. This was precisely the first time Henry would ever raise his voice at me, he was always sweet and mild. It was evident that he'd been attempting to keep up with Aiden's ignorant behavior, but now, he could no longer stand it, and which I understand every bit of his pain.
