Contract Marriage With My Ex — Chapter 54. Back to mommy Kiara

The blood in my veins seemingly felt draining out. She was standing right in front of my eyes after so many months. Not only my blood was feeling affected but also my throat.

However, She was standing there with her new lover.

Infinite thorn of ache pricked my pipe as I swigged my saliva struggling to keep calm. Her face was in front of me once again. The face, that got me sobbing on the next day of her leave. The face, that got me yearning it while my son was being snatched away from my arms.

"And you Shania, enough of your drama, today we will show you what it means to be hurt!" I was too dumbstruck by her occurrence that when Girard pulled me by my arm I kind of tripped with my steps.

I was not able to get out of the shock, her face and that traumatizing nights I passed crying for her came back as a flash in front of me. "Will you care to explain to us what the heck is going on? And why is that girl here too!" Dad exclaimed. He meant her, my fake wife by the word 'girl'.

I was papa's replica. Be it words or looks, I looked like his carbon copy. Listening him talk with so much anger for a moment i sensed as if that was me only who was shaking in irritation on seeing her here all of a sudden.

Girard have not replied to him till now. He only bobbed his head with a sigh while he led us to a room that was totally empty. The walls were painted cream with the pictures of all the great presidents and fighters of the country.

Having us seated on the long benches in, what it seemed like waiting room, my expectedly unexpectable brother spoke, "Alright, so far I am sure you guys are able to draw some meaning out whatever happened outside, there." he took a pause like it was required to prepare whatever he was going to disclose to us now. "I would like to clear all your confusion. Please, dad and mom and you Rave, don't be too harsh on me or on her after you hear the disclosure." Dad grunted learning that he was playing round and round with us.

We were already not in the mood to decode riddles or solve puzzles. The early morning visit to the court with the appearance of unwanted faces was driving all if crazy. So crazy that now, even mom began hissing in anger. Even then my bruvver decided to play puzzles with us.

"Just spill it out already, Gerr!" with a long breath releasing amidst his oink dad rolled his eyes.

He was a heck of impatient man before me.

"Okay, so guys..." Girard pulled an armless chair across us and quickly occupied it. "The reason why we are here is— Billy's custody case. Kiara wants to reopen the case and fight it again. She has got some proofs with the help of his nanny against Shania that proves she doesn't deserve to keep him with herself. And WE. ARE. HERE. FOR. THE SAME." I have not been able to come of a shock yet, that another shock was dawned on me.

She really came here for that?

Why?

Who told her to?

Why all of a sudden she wants to do this. It that because she feels guilty seeing my son suffer or because she misses the lavish life I gave her!

No no, she will not come to me for luxury as I am sure Payton must have fulfilled all her wishes with his money. He was now sitting on the position which once I possessed. No one can deny, he was really striving to win her love.

Or was she planning on taking some other advantage out of my helplessness! She can do that, as she was able to do quite a lot of things beyond my imagination.

But not again. No matter what her intentions truly are, I will not let her hurt my baby with her actions no more. With the determination of not letting do anything wrong to Billy, I dragged myself out of the bench in order to go outside.

"Rave! Stop, Rave." I was about to cross the door when I was stopped by Girard.

He tried to convince me with baby reasons but I won't listen. He told me why she was doing it and also the future she wishes to live with us since she was guilty but I WON'T LISTEN.

It was all I a lie... I know that.

It has always been a lie.

"NO Girard, not now. I don't care if it is for Billy is fucking not, I just know, she left us when we relied on her. I just remember her revenge and those sleepless nights I spent with my son before he was gone from my arms. I just remember her words she told me that night while you and I were searching for her maniacly." My last strand of patience broke recollecting those memories again.

" I know everything, Rave. But try as and understand... You both—"

"It's not US any more... Not US... It's just her and me now. Not US!" I interrupted him.

I wished not to recall them but all I can do was see them coming back to my mind back to back. "Have you forgotten that night, Girard? I cried for her... I even said that I would take all of her punishments she would give me. I begged for her mercy, Girard. I begged for the sake of my son. She wanted to see me feel the pain— sense the pain she had felt while I left her through Billy... She intended to hurt him, not me. Her sole mission was just to hurt my baby so that I can be hurt too! I would praise her brains, Girard. She caught my weakness, mashed it under her grip and threw it. Do you still want me to try to understand everything!" My voice came out merely as a whisper.

I was too broke from inside. Her every word, every smile, every tear drop mattered to me until that day. That day I determined to myself that I will never fall for her traps any more.

Never.

"NOOO... THIS IS UNFAIR... THIS IS AN UNFAIR CALL, YOU BRUTE!" My heart throbbed watching Shania fall on the floor of the court room before the judge after he passed his verdict.

The judge looked extremely insulted by her words that warned her father with a warning gaze from the judge of the court, "Mr. Avram, your daughter aggrieved this court enough with her words. Now before we consider taking her under remand for disregarding this session, please take her out of the court room. Also, the court would like to request Master. Billy's nanny to hand him over to his father and mother Mr. And Mrs. Carter." This outraged Shania, and she screamed louder and louder while I helplessly stood in the witness box with my fake wife— as a couple.

She apologetically stared me with her tear filled eyes antecedently she ran out of the area to Billy's nanny. "Oh Billy, mamma told you she will take you with her soon. See we are together again." A lonely tear trickled below my stubble cheek seeing how my son smiled in her arms. He real attached to her.

"Please give me my son back... Please, I am his mother. Billyyyy!" Despite her screams and whining Shania was dragged out of the doors by her father while I can only give her a last glance as she stared me offendedly like it was me because of whom Billy was taken away from her.

But who to tell her that I was not the one to do it.

Despite of my disagreement and disapproval I was never allowed to leave the waiting room unless the same advocate who got me married to that woman arrived, he was my formerly appointed lawyer for Billy's case, and he was only fighting it now.

My parents were too blind with the love of their grandson hence it was easy to convince them. One sentence addressed to them, and they bobbed their skulls permitting them for the further plan my brother and that woman made.

In Fact, she easily gave up on the hurt they felt seeing her face. Her one tear drop and they melted forgetting all the pains I had gone through. First Girard then mom and dad. All in all my entire family was trapped within her net.

After putting all the proofs and hearing by the nanny who took care of my son, the judge passed his verdict in his father's— that's me, interest. Ultimately, I won tie case and my son was back to me nevertheless, a look of her face and again all the hurt and those revenge talks occupied me.

I cannot stand that moment. Although my eyes cried looking how my son laughed and played with her yet it looked like the worst thing to me. As after having him suffered so much she was trying to be his super Mamma! So fake... No doubts why I married her contractually.

"Paa-ppaa" Billy called me on his 'step' mother's instructions as she pointed out her finger towards me. "Paapa" he called again nevertheless, I only threw dagger at her not sparing anyone any glance and followed the path that Shania left through.

She can control my son but not me!

Tbc...
