Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31

Leila stares at her reflection in the mirror, her puffy eyes telling her not to cry anymore, her head throbbing with an intense migraine, her face completely ridden with gloom, her heart heavy with sadness.

She has remained in her room for the whole day and Tatum doesn’t even bother to come up to check on her. She knows he is with his beloved, and she is again, the third wheel in their relationship, just like in the past.

She was the one Tatum used to adore, the one he always spent his spare time with originally. He even resented Carmela and used to call her a spoiled brat.

Back then, Carmela was the third wheel but Carmela got that mark and everything changed, Tatum pushed her aside, showering all his attention on Carmela.

She selfishly thought everything could go back to the way it was these last two years, that Tatum would look upon her with that candid affection in his eyes again but she was wrong, his heart was and is for Carmela and now that Carmela is back, there is no room for her.

Her stomach growls, followed by a strong hunger pang. She hasn’t even eaten all day. She sighs and wipes away the tears dropping from her eyes, she didn’t even realise that she had started crying again.

Why does it hurt so much?

Coming down from the stairs, she glances at the living room and immediately wishes she didn’t.

Carmela is doing Tatum’s pedicure.

This used to be one of her favourite thing in the world to do for him. She would always tease him about how his feet were too pretty for a strong male Alpha.

Tatum would gloat about how he was perfectly handsome and how she was lucky to be his wife, she felt truly lucky indeed and moments like that filled her with hope, that maybe, it could last forever.

A hope that has been reduced to nothing but she seems to be holding onto, with everything. She turns her a gaze away but she sees Carmela coming towards her from her peripheral vision and she can’t help the bile that rises in her throat.

She shouldn’t feel like this, so angry at her friend, so hurt and irritated by her presence, especially when she is the intruder, the one standing in the way of the prophecy but she can’t help herself.

“Leila, can we talk?” Carmela says in a remorseful tone, walking up to her,

“Yeah, sure,” Leila replies. “I should apologise for what did earlier today, it was inappropriate of me.”

Even if it wasn’t intentional.

Carmela doesn’t need to know that and to think there was a world where Carmela would be the first to know she is carrying a baby…..
