Babies' Secret: My Ex Wants Me Back! - Chapter 84

Chapter 84 Chapter 84 - Downfall 1 Aaron woke up the morning after and felt refreshed. Yesterday felt like a blur; being down with fever and cold wasn't part of his schedule. The sunlight radiating through his bedroom window seemed brighter somehow, as if mocking the darkness that had settled over his life these past days. He stretched, feeling the familiar ache in his muscles from the restless night he'd spent tossing and turning, Katherine's sad, dejected, angry face haunting his dreams. Raymond dropped by Aaron's house to check on him and grinned with his boyish face.

"I thought it would be your corpse I'd see this morning," he joked, patting Aaron's back softly. "Then your plan failed to cry at my funeral," Aaron responded, then touched his stinging cheek, wincing at the sharp pain that shot through his jaw. Fuck! That blonde had a strong fist. Raymond tilted his head, studying Aaron's face with a raised brow. "This wasn't there yesterday," he murmured, his fingers hovering over the angry red mark. "What happened?" "Well, shit went down and Amanda," Aaron gritted her name out like a nasty curse, the name tasting bitter on his tongue.

Just saying her name, remembering her existence made his blood pressure rise. "What did that clown do?" Raymond's voice dropped an octave, like he should have known that woman was already the problem. "Amanda lied to Katherine about being pregnant and Katherine," he pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling the familiar throb of a headache building behind his eyes, "believed her and locked me out like the first time." He sighed, dropping his hands on the counter, his hand rubbing his head in slow, circular motions.

The memory of Katherine's devastated face flashed before him, making his chest tighten with regret, sadness and anger. "Holy mother of shit!" Raymond cursed, his eyes widening in disbelief. "The goddess is angry." He stated the obvious. "What are you going to do now?" "Amanda has done it now and there's no way out of it," Aaron stated, clenching his fist. "Are we sticking to the earlier plan?" Raymond asked, taking the ointment from the counter as he applied it gently on Aaron's cheek, his movements careful and gentle.

"Fuck, gently." Aaron cautioned, his jaw clenching as Raymond rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Yes, tomorrow, I want everything to end." The finality in his voice rang in the room. "It's what I should have done since." "Okay boss, count it done." Raymond's response came immediately, grinning from the new mission. . Amanda turned on the music, a wine glass in hand as she gently danced to the classic melody. The rich burgundy liquid swirled in the glass, catching the afternoon light that reflected through the windows.
