She could tell that the way Wallace treated her was different from the way he treated Shelia.

Wallace loved her, but he did not love her as much as he loved

Shelia.

This made Tara gnash her teeth in jealousy.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Wallace denied.

“Is it really nonsense? Then why did you react like that when I suggested that we kill her?” Tara’s indignation grew as she considered how her two years of hard work had been for nothing.

The woman sleeping beside him was her, but his mind was still occupied with Shelia.

“What’s so good about her? Why are you so obsessed with her?”

Staring at the woman in front of him, Wallace remained quiet.

What Tara said was right.

He did still have feelings for Shelia.

What he wanted the most was the one he could not have.

“Wallace, I conceived a child for you! You can’t do this to me! You owe me!”

Wallace, having grown tired of hearing those words, snapped, “Yes, I owe you, but so what? Do you want me to bring up whose fault it was that you miscarried?”

“Wallace!” Tara gaped at him in disbelief.

Her anger made her slap Wallace.

Wallace was prepared for this.

He grabbed Tara’s wrist and snapped,

“Enough!”

Tara struggled to free her hand from his grip.

Her eyes were red when she said, “You just want to dump me now so you can rekindle your relationship with Shelia.

You know she is about to come out.

Wallace, let me tell you this.

That’s not possible! Don’t forget you were the one who put her in jail.

Do you think Shelia will spare you once she gets to know? You still love her, but she doesn’t.

Truth be told, she never really cared about you.

She will kill you if she knows the truth.

How can she forgive you? At least in this lifetime, you both can never be together.

And she has to die! If she lives, we’ll be dead.

Wallace, do you want to die?”

Wallace’s words pained Wallace.

“Wallace… Tara closed her eyes, took several calming breaths, and reigned in her anger and jealousy.

She walked up to Wallace and gently held his arm.

“Wallace, I’m the only one who care about you.

Also…”

Tara paused and took another deep breath.

With a shy look, she laid his hand on her stomach.

“My period is delayed by more than six weeks.

Off lately, I’ve started to feel sleepy and nauseous.

I felt the same when I was pregnant with our first.

There’s a possibility that we might have another.

Wallace, think of our baby.

We have to live.”

It was as if Tara’s words were like a magic spell.

Wallace’s mind was full of it.

Wallace looked at her and then looked down at their joined hands pressed over her stomach.

His eyes darkened as the remnant feelings of guilt for Shelia disappeared in an instant.
