Marrying My Ex-Husband's Boss

Oaseku (Pov Rian)

I stared at Kira's words, all the way home. Is it true what he said? If all this time the money that should have been given to Kira, never reached him?

As long as I was married to Melisa, Melisa managed my finances. Indeed, if compared to Kira, Melisa is more wasteful and we often miss. Melisa would rather eat out than cook alone. I like things that are priced out of my reach. I love going out and hanging out with my friends. Not that I complained, in the past, my salary was more than enough, even with my three children during my time with Kira. Meanwhile, I often ask for help from Dad to cover my income shortage. I'm ashamed, but I have no choice. Lucky you didn't bother too much.

Even so, I always remind Melisa to give rations to my son. If I can be honest, Kira is the best woman for me, never complaining, and simple. But, I don't know, I was confused by my own thinking. I consider Kira's simplicity a disgrace to me. Seeing the wife of my friends who always appear plenary, I feel ashamed, only Kira who looks ordinary. I became the subject of ridicule from my friends. Kira refuses if she has to spend money on makeup at the salon before going to an event. We often fight over this issue.

Ever since Jen and Jeje were born, I have been reluctant to take her to important events. Moreover, since knowing Melisa, who is beautiful and graceful. I'm getting reluctant about Kira. My relationship with Melisa seeped into a deeper relationship, we mutually satisfied each other. Even worse, I started to love Melisa, when Kira was still my wife. In all sorts of ways, I did cover up my affair. However, Melisa instead tries to tell Kira, until Kira suspects me. Our days, it was getting grim, because we kept fighting, and we ended up getting divorced.

Learning from that, even though Melisa has many shortcomings, I tried to understand her. Accept him as he is. My heart always compares the two. I'm still really expecting Kira, hoping she hasn't gotten my replacement. Regret is the last.

My first meeting after one year of our separation, was probably very surprising to him. I don't expect him to forgive me right away. I had expected, she would be mad at me. But I'm sure he'll forgive me if I tell him the truth.

And, today I went back to see him, gathered all my courage and thickened my face. At first, I wanted to apologize for yesterday's incident, but, seeing him smile, made my feelings go awry. Kira is now more attractive and fashionable, even though she does not wear makeup. It's like finding an oasis, rediscovering half my soul. The same feeling, when I asked her to be mine.

Getting it is not difficult, it's just, what about Melisa? That spoiled woman, will definitely scold me all out. Like yesterday when I banned him from hurting Kira. Melisa went berserk uncontrollably, accusing me of still loving Kira. All that, right, but I can't possibly admit it, can I?

I'm so worried about the child in the womb. I tried to be patient and give up. This is my karma, throwing away sutras for a piece of patch.

I said coming back with Kira was something easy. Apparently I was wrong, she's different now. Perhaps the heartache that afflicted her many times, made her a strong woman. In the past, corrupting her, to smooth my plans with Melisa, was a powerful way to get her to obey me. Making him feel guilty, will dampen his anger. But now I am the one who was slapped by his words. Now, I am the one who must swallow the bitterness, accused of not supporting my son. Piling hatred and resentment in the heart of the woman I so desperately wanted to have, once again.

I was helpless, looking at Melisa with her big belly. I remember Kira when she was pregnant with the twins, her stomach was 2 times bigger than Melisa's, but she didn't complain at all. Melisa grimaced, enduring the pain in her waist. I can't help it with all the prejudices.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" I approached him. His face was pale and sweat filled his face.

"Mas, my stomach hurts, is it time, Mom?" Melisa looks scared.

"We just go to the doctor, let's check back" Seematku is still 2 weeks away until the day of delivery. But I don't want to risk the safety of both of them.

Immediately I carried Melisa whose body is 2 times heavier now. Without saying goodbye, I immediately went to the hospital.

"Patience, Mel. You need to be strong for our child's sake" I tried to calm down Melisa who was starting to fidget in her seat.

"You don't know what it's like, so say patient. It hurts so bad, Mas" Melisa's upset because I keep telling her to be patient. What's more, the streets are jammed, Melisa's getting pissed. Many times he swore, yelled, banged the car seat with his fists. I could only hold her hand, trying to strengthen it through touch.

Again, I compared Kira to Melisa. Kira remained steadfast and patiently waiting for Excel to be born. For the twins, because of their transverse position, doctors recommend Cesarean section.

"Sorry baby, I'm hungry to be less focused" I told Melisa not to get mad at me.

"The real tycoon, this brings two lives" he said. And yes, it seems like she had a contraction, so she screamed again.

"Mas, it hurts so much, why don't you just give birth?" His shouting. Her tears flowed profusely, as if unable to endure the pain.

"Now, what's that? Yesterday who wanted to have a baby?" I stroked his arm. I have to stay focused on driving, but I also can't concentrate if Melisa's screams are like Tarzan's.

"Silence, Aaaarrrggghh....Saakkiiiit" This time my arm was subjected to his scratch. I was just silently enduring the pain, if I protested for sure she would scream again.

We finally arrived at the hospital. All WD Group employees are guaranteed health coverage, including family members.

I called the officer who was standing in the lobby of the Hospital. They swiftly took Melisa to the delivery room. I don't know what the doctor said, my ears were filled with Melisa's screams. Understanding my condition, a nurse put on a mask, a robe to coat my clothes, and a head covering. And in a single pull, the robe almost slipped out of my body.

I held onto Melisa who kept roaring during the check. Honestly I'm embarrassed, everyone here is looking at me. Even the doctor shouted for Melisa to calm down.

"Mrs, you have to be calm, we know, you're in a lot of pain, but if you keep yelling, your energy will be drained, and then when it's time to push, you don't have any more energy. My advice, save your energy for the labor process later. It's still very long, because it's opening 2" The female doctor named Vivian looked at me.

"What does it mean, Doctor" I rubbed Melisa to calm down.

"Birth canal opening counts to 10, sir. And your new wife opening 2, if in a few hours there is no addition, we will do an induction to accelerate labor" Dr. Vivian explained in detail to me. Until I finally understood.

"Okay, Doc" I nodded. Then it turned to Melisa again, despite not screaming, but she cried all the time.

Kira, did you not feel pain? You just shut up and smile when you're about to give birth. Kira, are you that strong to endure the pain? I'm sorry, Ra. I'm sorry I hurt you and the kids. I'm sorry, Ra.
