Infatuation

Changes

*Lin's POV*

It's been two months since the birth of the triplets.

It's been two months since the truth came out.

Two months since I moved to London.

Two months since they started talking again.

Two months of thinking.

The truth slipped out one day when Sebastian, a toddler, of all people made a very prevalent observation.

"Daddy! The girls don't look like you. They really pale."

At first, naturally, I was taken aback at this. I know sometimes it takes time for pigments to develop and blah blah.

But he was right. They didn't resemble me or my family in any way.

That's when Phillipa couldn't hide the truth any longer.

I turned to her after Sebastian's statement.

She was standing there, face red, eyes puffy, and tears streaming down her face.

"Lin, I'm so sorry.."

"Who's are they? Who?!"

"S-Stevens. But Lin, it it wasn't consensual."

I was swarmed with emotion. I didn't know what to feel.

I was mad.

Hurt.

I felt used.

Violated.

Lied to.

My trust was broken. With my own wife. My very own wife.

I grabbed my coat and left.

Since then, I've been in London, filming a movie.

Pippa and I haven't broken up, but we're not together.

We're.. taking a break.

We both agreed some space would help.

Only problem is, I come home soon, and I'm not ready.

I don't want to face this truth. This truth hurts me.

This truth broke my trust.

How do you recover from this?

Can one?

I sure as hell don't know. I just know I'm conflicted.

It wasn't consensual.

She still lied to me.

She hid that truth.

But then again, he wasn't and isn't involved in their lives.

I am.

Are they my daughters, or his?

My flight leaves tomorrow and my parents will have the kids.

Leaving Pippa and I in the apartment.

Great.

Tomorrow was going to be a long one.

*Sorry for this chapter, it's sorta filler. And LET ME BE CLEAR: I'm not trying to say Steven is a bad guy in real life, just for purpose of this book, he's the bad guy. If there are rude comments about Steven (in real life), on here, you'll be blocked. Feel free to comment on my character of him. Thank you.
