Chapter 34 – Duncan's empire's future Monster lady
[Fiona’s POV] Life had been going well. Even after Dean exposed our relationship, my life remained peaceful, and I was happy about it. But it seemed I wasn’t going to be happy for long. And the biggest obstacle yet seems to be Dean’s parasitic mother. Although I knew I was going to face her soon, I didn’t expect it to be this soon. I am yet to be his wife, so I have no stance against her. “What the……… do you want to kill me?” I shouted at the driver. I had taken a taxi to work since Dean couldn’t drive me because of work and it seemed it was a bad idea because the driver seemed to have bought his license. “I am so sorry another car almost hit us, so I was doing my best to avoid collision,” the driver chimed frantically, as he was busy swerving the car. He spoke off chimes from its lane heading straight towards us, causing a minor collision along the way. “Hold on, ma’am, I will get us out of here,” he shouts as he swerved the car as he avoids collision avoided, this causes the c

Chapter 35 – Insecurities.
[Fiona’s POV] “Who is dumb enough to want to cross me?” Heath roared on his phone. Not only was doctor-patient confidentiality breached, this had also doubled my then none-existent insecurities. I calmly looked at the stitched face for the first time in the mirror. I didn’t believe I looked hideous, at least not hideous enough to be considered a monster. But one thing was for sure, I was no longer considered beautiful according to the modern beauty standards, and maybe that is why people find this change very interesting. Maybe they wonder if a man of a stature like Heath would be willing to still be with a woman who wasn’t as beautiful as she was when they met. I had wondered how I looked walking beside Heath before, and I wonder if now there will be a difference that is enough to have people talk behind our backs. ‘That beautiful man is with that hideous woman’ is what they will say, and then they will giggle among themselves. The ladies will pridefully boast of how they can s

Chapter 36 – Old enemies.
[Heath’s POV] She looked sad today, her bright eyes no longer shone like magical stars. Well, since the accident she had become rather dim. Rumors after rumors that are nothing, but fabricated lies can somehow do that to you. One of the few things that made me mad is that I brought her into this mess. “How was your day?” I asked, she sighed heavily before letting out a bitter smile. “It was better,” she says, “Mr. Apostrophe wants off his project though, so that is a bummer.” I tried my best to stay composed hated I knew I was about to tell her bad news and I hated that Mr. Apostrophe had already made her sad. “You will be okay, your friends will always support you,” I said bitterly. “want some food? I wanted to pass by a drive-thru.” Fiona would love to eat her feelings away a lot, and I knew a good place to help her with that. “Please, I could use a good burger and fries,” she chimes happily, forgetting all about her problems at work. She happily sings along to the music play

[Third person POV] “Sir, the madam is bleeding, I think the baby is in danger,” after the words hit his ear, he couldn’t explain the dread he felt at that moment, this was all too familiar.

Chapter 38 – Falling out of love
[Fiona’s POV]Heath was clearly annoyed by me jumping to go to the hospital, which was a surprise to me as he had always seemed to enjoy supporting me.Guess it is different now, with the scar and this new crisis in my life. I guess the love drug is wearing off now.“We have arrived,” I heard Heath’s unimpressed voice chime.“You can stay here. It is clear you don’t want to be here,” I said, and before he could even protest, I was already out of the car.I found Gian in the hallway. I didn’t even have to search for him, but surprisingly, he didn’t look distraught, he must be numb to this already, he had gone through this enough to not care about it anymore.“Gian?” I called out, his face lit up immediately when he saw me.“Oh…. Fiona, thank heavens you are here,” he says, “please go to Clover, she needs you, she is not listening to anyone.”“I understand Gian, she just lost…...”“Oh… No, she didn’t lose the baby,” he says happily, “she was saved, she was born prematurely.”I can see t

Chapter 39 – The second Husband
[Third Person POV] After arriving at the empty house, Heath calls his security team to start monitoring Fiona from Gian’s house, since she will be living there for the time being. He hated it, everything happening just seemed to annoy him alone and he hated how no one seemed to notice what he had been noticing, and worse of all, Fiona was getting angry at him. He sighed, maybe he should relay his message in a better way. Communication was never his strongest trait. The people who raised him had deprived him of a healthy way to communicate as they showed their emotions through hurting each other. “What should I do now?” he said out loud. He felt like he was losing Fiona. In fact, it is not a feeling, it is actually a reality. He was sure he was behaving a bit childish, but couldn’t Fiona just listen to him more. ‘Then again, I am not even telling her what is bothering me,’ he says to himself. ‘I should talk to her.’ His night was quite unsettled, he couldn’t sleep a wink, he kn
