Chapter 210 - What about the child in her stomach? (1/2)

|Innaya|

”Are you still going to stay silent?” Eshan left his mother's hold and came to my side. Holding my forearm, he made me face him. I refused to meet his gaze. I would rather prefer running away from this situation than staying.

It might be cowardness in some people's opinion, but for me, this was the only way to protect myself. That year I had spent with my father without my mother by my side had taught me many things. Silence, was one of the many things I had learned.

I had no answers to his questions and no explanation for his mother's. It would be better if they solved this issue. Could I pretend this did not involve me at all?

Eshan held my chin, raising my face upward to face him, he probed further. His fingers were cold on my skin, but the fire in his eyes had the opposite effect on my heart. ”I'm asking you something?” Eshan raised his voice.

I shivered at the unconcealed rage in his gaze. He was furious. ”I-I… don't…”'be angry.' I wanted to say that, but Eshan's mother did not give me any chance.

She scoffed, glaring daggers at me. ”What would she tell you? I'll show you her shameless deeds.” She pushed me away from Eshan, and bending down, picked up her clutch. Opening it, she took out a stack of photos. ”Here, see this. Look clearly, how she has been cheating on you all along.” She placed those photos in Eshan's hands.

Eshan did not even glance at them. His eyes were suddenly calm as he looked at the way his mother was behaving. His gaze was too calm as if a storm was brewing, and this calmness was before it. Who that storm would harm was yet to be determined. I had a very bad feeling about it.

He had decided something. What? I had no idea. His eyes held the determination along with unmasked hurt.

I clenched my fist by my side. I was never good at handling many people. Angry people who would not give me a chance to explain were the hardest for me to manage. What was I supposed to do?

What pictures she was talking about? I never had taken photos with someone, which could be categorized as immoral. And, I was never in that sort of situation which could be considered indecent. Part of me wanted to take a look at those photos so that I could grasp the situation more clearly.

Alas! My hands were frozen by my side. Eshan's silence was frightening me. He should not do something which he would regret all his life.

”How could you Innya? If you were not happy in this marriage, you should have left him. How could you betray Eshan like this?” Ayesha jumped in the conversation which had nothing to do with her.

Her intrusion was like petrol in the current explosive situation. Eshan's anger got triggered because of her. She opened her mouth, wishing to say something. However, Eshan's one glare directly sealed her mouth. She hurriedly hid behind Eshan's mother, seeking shelter from her.

”Did you not learn your lesson? Keep your mouth shut. You wanted to leave, right? Pack your stuff and leave. Stay out of our family matters.” Eshan replied to Ayesha in a rather threatening manner.
