Chapter 223 - TAKING THE MATTER TO THE LAW!
"I know we have had it bad, gone through some dark phrases but I want us to be back like before...because this is our future and we can't deny it...neither can I..."
"My future is my daughter..."
Tinsley interrupted him and his composure changed altogether but he held himself back.
He knew what kind of a situation he was drowning himself into but it was obvious, he could not live without her.
"I know...and I want to accept it all..."
"But why??"
She could not help herself in questioning him at all. It was very unlike of him to head somewhere, there was no profit for him.
"Why not?"
Kian dropped the question back at her. He had no idea why she was being so stuck up when he was offering to cooperate in with her even after she had gone too far...breaking their wedding vows, although they had taken none but just signed the papers of the marriage certificate.
She was carrying another man's child when he was very much alive and capable of giving her his seeds to grow pregnant with.
But he had come to a point in his life where he needed her and did not know how to start over again.
He just wanted to go back in time and live in peace with her the way they were living before all these turns of events took place.
Their eyes were interlocked as they were both swimming in the pool of their thoughts...trying to find out what could be the possibilities either side had to gain from this whole setup...
They both had walked away from the relationship where the motto was not given and taken...at least for her, it was not like that.
She could have given all of her to him...and she did that, in the way she lost herself in it and maybe that was the reason why she had to run away, so fat from him before she ended up giving in again...because that was all she knew around him.
Here in the new city, trying to find herself, trying to belong to someone...she could not until this pregnancy...her baby girl was her reason to keep looking forward.
And here he had come again to take away from her, and if it was the olden times or perhaps if he were here before she had conceived, she would have...she would have given in...yet things had changed now.
And he could not help the minute thought that kept screaming in the back of his mind...telling him that her reluctance was the answer to the fact that she was unwilling to play family with him...for she might be wanting to go back to the man, who's child she was carrying.
And the very notion about the whole thing...the flash of her with an unknown man, his hand around her waist as they watch the child that she was carrying running around the meadows...just like the painting, half-completed by her...made him boil in anger and jealousy.
"Why are you planning to go back to the baby daddy??"
He rudely questioned her, palms curled into a fist as he tried very hard not to just sprung her upon his shoulder and keep her hostage in one of his many secluded islands...for she then would never be able to run away from him again.
Tinsley was taken aback by his question and she could see the furry in his deep grey eyes. He had not changed one bit.
He was still the same man, who got all riled up whenever even the smallest of things were denied to him or if things did not go his way. She possibly could not even think of having his bipolar attitude anywhere near her daughter.
For her baby, she promised herself that she would be away from all kinds of toxic...even being away from people that she loved to protect her child.
"What baby daddy??"
"Don't feign innocence now!"
Kian spat, being irritated by her at the moment. He just had no clue why he was here, bargaining to be with her when he was still her husband and he had just all the rights to drag her back home.
"You are not ready to come back to me even after I m letting you go free, not punished after the stunt you pulled, getting impregnated by someone else because you want to go back to the father of the child, you are carrying when it should have been my child inside your womb!!!"
Kian let out all in one single breathe. And Tinsley raised her eyebrows, astonished at how much he was hiding it in himself from the moment his eyes were upon her.
He was still insecure, jealous...but could not be happy in her happiness that she had never felt for months.
"There is no man...it is my baby!"
"It is my goddamn baby!!!"
She remarked, vehemently, stomping her right fist on the table, trying to make a point here.
Kian closed his eyes, knowing that he had angered her once again when he should have been softer because it was not her but him, who was trying to strike a deal with her.
"So why not come with me?? Even after I m ready to give their child my name, rendering you free from all your shame?!"
Kian implored. He was ready to take the responsibility of the child as his if she came with him.
And here Tin, for some slight second thought that he genuinely wanted in to be with her and then in a flip, he broke that out.
He was only willing to take her in along with her baby to not impose shame to his great name that his wife went ahead and carried someone else's child but not his...her husband.
"I do not need your name for my baby and I m not ashamed of what I did...she will be my pride. She already is."
Tinsley very proudly said. And Kian was really losing his patience of trying to get her to understand that he wanted in with her...the entire package.
"Oh yeah?? Who's name are you going to give then?? The baby daddy's?? Fucking over my dead body!!"
He cursed. He was not going to let her humiliate him like that before the world, imposing him a laughing stock for not being able to give his child to carry to his own wife that she had to go to a fucking clinic to have someone else's.
"It's my baby!!! For Christ sake!! And I will give her my maiden name."
Tinsley answered. She was very annoyed every time he chose to forget that it was nobody's but only her baby...only her and no one else.
"That's never going to happen!"
She was aghast as to why not and what right he had to stop her?? What right he had to decide things for her??
"And who are you to have a say in anything of the matter??"
She folded her hands against her chest, challenging him with her eyes, glaring at him.
"Your husband!"
He smirked. She shook her head in a no but then he pulled out a pile of papers from the court. She looked at him questionably, not knowing what they were.
He always had a plan B ready in case things did not work out the easy way. He did not want to take this path but she forced him to...he had no other choice but to get her consent this way.
"You are still married to me and as such, this child, growing inside you is mine as much as it is yours. I have the equal right as you have over it...legally, I m the father even though you went ahead and impregnated yourself without my consent...I could sue you for this with adultery and that child would be born as a bastard..."
And before he could say more, a tight slap landed against his cheek. She did it in the heat of the moment, forgetting they were out in the public.
Thankfully, they were secluded from others in the private booth. He closed his eyes, trying very hard to not punish her for being an untamed brat.
"I will divorce you!"
Tinsley gritted. She was beyond angry at him for trying to impose her unborn daughter to be a bastard.
"How will you?? When I will never sign!"
Kian challenged her and it provoked Tinsley to no ends. She could not believe how quick he changed from requesting to correct things with her to threatening her to come back to him.
"I will sue you for abusing me emotionally!"
Tinsley voiced out and all she got was a bitter, cruel laugh from him. She could not identify who he was anymore.
"Let's see you in the court then, wife! Even if we get divorced, there will be a custody battle and I promise you here today...I will win the full custody, and snatch that baby away from you either way or the other...so you decide now!"
