Claiming her babies

Monica’s POV

Nicholas says something. Is what he is saying true? Aunt Ella asked.

“Of course not aunt” Nicholas uttered with confidence.

“Then why is he saying Monica is his ex-wife?” Aunt Ella asked, her gaze now on me “Is that true Monica”

I looked at Nicholas whose eyes blinked at me several times and I knew he was trying to tell. Me something with his eyes but I couldn’t understand him.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Turning away from him so Aunt and Ethan don’t catch us doing anything, I raised my head as I glanced at Aunt Ella “It’s true Aunt. I was his ex-wife”

Nicholas looked at me in shock as he slightly opened his mouth in shock. “So that also means that the babies are his?”

“No, they’re not his. That is Nicholas’s. Yes, I was Ethan ex ex-wife but we barely touched each other intimately so I started going out to parties, and that’s how I meant Nicholas. A few months later I found out that I was pregnant and I knew it didn’t belong to Ethan so I was about to tell Ethan about the babies and ask for a divorce when he made things easy for me and divorced me instead”

I explained glancing at Nicholas who sighed in relief as he gave me a short thumbs up.

“So that means this kids are not Ethan’s?” Aunt asked again.

“No, they are not his,” I said, my voice laced with confidence and certainty.

“But that’s a lie. You were pregnant before we got a divorce and_”

“Yes I was and the baby wasn’t yours Ethan. It was Nicholas'” I said, cutting his words short.

“So that means you cheated on me with Nicholas?” He said, his eyes flashing with hurt and disbelief “According to her” he said, gesturing his index finger at any Ella “She said Nicholas stayed you were his whore and if that’s true, you had s*x with Nicholas even while still married to me”

“Yes, I did” I replied, not concerned about how he was going to feel but trying as much as possible to get his attention and focus off the kids being his. There was no way I was going to allow Ethan to walk back into my life with what he did to me in the past. I love Nicholas and to me, he is their father, biologically or not.

“How could you do such a thing? I thought you loved me?” Ethan said, his voice shaking slightly as he placed his hand on his chest.

“Do such a thing? You slept with Mia, my best friend, and our housemaid and you say I could I have done such a thing. You’re so pathetic Ethan” I uttered sharply, looking at him in disgust.

He cheated on me and even if I never cheated on him or met Nicholas before the pregnancy, I just had to come up with something to change his opinion that Mason and Macy were his.

“Okay Ethan, I think it’s time you leave. You’ve done enough this morning” Nicholas said, walking close to him and roughly pushing him towards the door.

“Don’t touch me” Ethan gritted his teeth saying as he turned around to face Nicholas, their eyes on the same level as they stared at each other.

“I don’t believe anything that has been uttered here today and I’m going to go to the ends of the earth to discover the truth,” he said then turned away from Nicholas to look at me “You said you slept with Nicholas even when you were still with me. Do you think I’m a fool to fall for such a lie Monica?” He asked, staring at me with a smirk plastered on his face “I know you very well Monica and you loved me too much to have cheated on me”

I swallowed a lump but I maintained my composure as I walked to him, stared deeply into his eyes, and smiled “You think I can’t do such a thing? You didn’t want me back then Ethan and you treated me like garbage. I needed someone to make me special Ethan and Nicholas was there to do just that” I said, my voice laced with confidence and my heart calmed a little when I saw fear flashing through his eyes.

“This isn’t over yet. I’m going to make sure I get to the root of all these?” Ethan said as he took steps away from me and walked to the door, leaving the House.

The instant he left the room, I released the breath I had been holding all this while as I sighed multiple times in relief. This wasn’t how I expected my day to be.

“How am I sure that you aren’t going to cheat on Nicholas if he eventually gets busy with work and can’t attend to your sexual needs” Aunt Ella said out of the bloom and I maintained my composure, finally remembering once more that she was still with us here in the living room.

“Come on aunt, Monica isn’t one to do such,” Nicholas said and he suddenly went silent when Aunt Ella shot him a glare.

“Don’t ever hurt Nicholas. I’m not always on good terms with people who hurt the ones I love” Aunt Ella’s eyes flashed with a fierce protectiveness I had never seen before and a shiver ran down my spine.

“I understand your concern Aunt but I love Nicholas more than anything and I would never do anything to hurt him,” I said.

Aunt Ella’s gaze softened slightly but she still gave me a stern look “You cheated on your ex with Nicholas and don’t blame me if I think you can also cheat on me. Nicholas with someone else”

” I assure you, aunt, I would never do such a thing to Nicholas. I love Nicholas with everything in me” Aunt Ella’s shoulders relaxed a little as she sighed.

“All right Monica, I will take your word for it,” Aunt Ella said then she shifted her gaze to Nicholas

“Do you mind telling me what all this drama was all about? I was just to know why Ethan Knight would think that Mason. And Macy is his. I’m sorry if I’m still pressing on this issue but something doesn’t just add up”
