Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 188

Leila is about to reply when she gets a mindlink from Tatum and she looks away from Antonio to the cars driving past the window outside as she hears Tatum’s voice. For some reason, she doesn’t want Tatum to see her mysterious second chance mate.

‘I was told you came by the office, I’m there now.’

‘I’ll be on my way,’ Leila replies and drops the mindlink, turning back to face Antonio but he’s gone and in place of him is a note on the table.

[I’ll see you soon, kitten. Antonio.]

Leila picks up the note and gazes around but there is absolutely no sign of him and she smiles.

There is something about Antonio that scares and excites her at the same time. She puts his note in her purse and heads to Tatum’s office.

The moment Tatum hears Leila coming, he pulls open the drawer on his table, frantically putting away the drugs he just took and tosses the syringes into the trash can, simultaneously increasing the blow rate on his air freshener to hide any smell of medicine that may linger in the air.

He winces in pain as he sits upright , just as Leila steps into his office and he stares at her, in awe of her beauty as always, keeping a calm face on the outside but in truth, every breath he takes feels like a silver dagger being plunged into his heart.

He is yet to fully recover from the incident at the house the other day. The wolfsbane he drank was a rather concentrated one and it has not only slowed down his healing, it has mixed with his bloodstream and now the wound in his chest is beginning to rot.

He has already been to his herbal doctor Alfred who gave him the drugs to take and inject himself with at periodic intervals but it will take a while for him to heal fully.

He spent three days down in that bunker before he had enough strength to crawl out and as he laid there on the floor for those three days, the pain and agony that rocked his body and mind was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. The fear Leila had in her eyes as she went away hurt more than anything the wolfsbane was doing to him.

It’s the first time he is seeing her since the incident and he doesn’t know what to say to her. How does he apologise without her lighting up like a fuse?
