Sweet Surrender: The Ceo’s Second Wife - Chapter 304

Caroline buried her face in the pillow. A painful headache was hammering her confused head. She can’t possibly stay in this house living with Mike while carrying another guy’s baby. Mike won’t allow that!

To be honest… she doesn’t want to get the baby aborted. But she wanted to stay in the marriage with Mike because of her twins!

Argh!

How to solve this very complicated situation?

If she goes to Alex… he will always be ready to accommodate her and their baby. But she also knows that if she leaves Blue Bell Residences to go to Alex, she will never be able to go back here. Mike will never accept her again. Her pregnancy right now is the last nail to the coffin that would forever destroy her marriage with her husband.

She’s now at the turning point of her life…

She was about to make a decision that would turn her life upside down again.

She was on that confusing train of thoughts when she heard a loud knocking on the door. “W-what is it?” she asked, she has no plan to leave the bedroom unless she can think of a better plan to remedy her situation.

“Ma’am, there’s a woman outside the door, she keeps ringing the doorbell, she demanded to see Sir Mike because she had an important thing to tell him. We told her to go away, but she keeps ringing the doorbell. What we’re going to do?” Guada asked.

Caroline get up from the bed and opened the door. “I will talk to her,” she finally said.

She walked towards the door and opened it. She saw Mike’s former secretary outside the door. “Why are you creating a mess, here?” she asked her.

“Is Mike here? I need to talk to him! he’s not answering my calls!” Althea demanded in an agitated voice.

Caroline took a deep breath. “My husband was currently on a business trip outside the city. He will return shortly. What is your problem, Althea?” she asked her calmly. She already had a hint that the woman her husband was having s.e.x with on that night – is no other than this woman standing in front of her.

Althea took something from her bag.

Caroline’s eyes widened, she saw a pregnancy test kit!

“Here…see this? Your husband got me pregnant! He has to take responsibility for the baby in my w.o.m.b because it’s his baby!” Althea said hysterically, tears welled in her eyes.

Caroline closed her eyes for a moment and let the pain sink in…Mike got his mistress pregnant! It’s painful to hear being the wife of the guy who fathered another woman’s baby…she bit her lip. But then she was also pregnant with another man’s baby. Damn! How ironic the situation is!

“Calm down, Althea. Please get inside the house. Just wait for Mike in the living room,” Caroline said.

Althea was confused for a moment. She was expecting Mike’s wife to blow up in anger in her face, but Caroline was very calm and very accommodating. She can’t see an ounce of pain or anger in her face. She was the complete opposite of the domineering woman who makes a fuss about her inside Mike’s office. She entered the house and was being directed to the living room.

“Have a seat, Althea…let’s talk…” Caroline said. She looked at the two maids. “Bring the children to the master’s bedroom and stayed there until I say so…” she ordered.

“Yes, Ma’am!” the housemaids replied in unison. They scooped the children and carried them in their arms and hurriedly went inside the master’s bedroom.

Althea lowered herself on the sofa. She looked at Mike’s wife and asked her a question. “Aren’t you angry that I had an affair with your husband? T-that your husband got me pregnant?” she asked in bewilderment.

Caroline sighed. “Let’s not talk about my feelings…but tell me first…how you and Mike got into a relationship? Tell me everything…don’t worry…I’m not angry at you. I am trying to understand your situation…” she said.

Althea breathed deeply, since Mike’s wife was treating her nicely then she will tell her the story. “It started way back In Singapore, I was working there in the pool area of the hotel where I’m working at and Mike was one of the guests. We have a fun time talking to each other… he is a nice guy. We don’t have a relationship during that time. When I come back here to the country, we meet again in the Cafe and later on, he hired me to be his secretary. Then sadly…I got fired on the first day. I worked in a bar as a bartender and one night Mike suddenly call me on the phone and went to the bar and invited me to a hotel. That’s the first time we got intimate physically and our relationship continues until he told me that he will break up with me because he is getting back with her wife and wants to fix things with her and make his family intact again. That was the last time I’d seen him,” she concluded her narration.

Caroline sighed and looked at the woman’s face closely. “D-do you love my husband?” she asked her.

Althea nodded her head. “Yes! I love your husband so much! I love him very much, unfortunately, he doesn’t love me back the way he loves you. I was just a toy to him,” she said sadly as fresh tears fell from her eyes.

Caroline watched the woman cries in front of her. Knowing Althea’s pregnancy was a game-changer to her. “If one day, you and Mike will live as a couple. Can you promise me that you will not hurt my children if you become their stepmother?” she needs reassurance from her.

Althea’s eyes widened by Caroline’s statement. “Huh? Why are you asking me that? You…you…” her voice faltered.

Caroline smiled a bit. “You can have my husband, he is yours. I won’t’ stand in your way, as long you promise me that you will treat my children right and not abuse or hurt them in any other way. Because if I will learn that you do such a thing to my children then I will kill you without hesitation!” she looked at the woman evilly.

Althea gasped in fear, ‘coz she can see a murderous intention in Caroline’s eyes. “Y-yes of course. I promise you that if Mike will marry me someday, I will treat your children as my own. I will never hurt them,” she said sincerely.

“Good!” Caroline smiled. “From now on my husband is yours…take care of him for me. Just wait here in the living room, my husband will arrive soon. In the meantime you can watch the TV if you like…” she said and handed the remote control to the woman. “Make yourself at home. I’m going to the bedroom to take care of my children,” she said and left the living room.

Althea was speechless and dumbfounded by the way Caroline treated her so calmly. If she’s another woman, Caroline would have insulted her cruelly beyond redemption and have her thrown out of the building. But Caroline is different… her calmness and kindness blow her mind away. She’d never meet anyone like her until now, she acts so… weird!
