  "Nice to meet you ma'am. I promise you that I will make your daughter happy. I will love her until my last breath, including this little princess of ours here" -Regan 

Present

CARINA'S P.O.V.

I was so shocked of what I've heard. I felt my heart ached for him and I hugged him tightly. I felt him kissed my temple and hugged me back. I didn't know what to say or do to make him feel better. He heaved a long sigh.

"Are you okay?" I couldn't help but ask as I looked at him. He smiled at me faintly and nodded his head.

"I'm okay kitten. To be honest I've moved on but sometimes I couldn't help but to remember those things" I remained staring lovingly into his eyes. I couldn't help but to feel proud of him because he made it through it all. He married his ex-wife to take responsibility. He was really a good person and a caring and loving father.

"What did you do after that incident?" I enquired and he continued.

THE PAST

REGAN's P.O.V.

"How could you do this to yourself and the baby Tiffany?!" I shouted at her when the doctor finally allowed me to talk to her. I was so enraged and the pain of losing 'our baby' was unbearable. She just stared at me and rolled her eyes indifferently.

"Don't overreact about this Regan. We can always make another baby" She answered which made the anger inside me increased. I wanted to hit her to shake some sense into her.

"You're the worst Tiffany. You don't have what it takes to be a mother; a good mother and a wife. You are nothing but a selfish b*tch before until now" I spat at her as I shake my head.

"Don't ever tell about this to our families Regan" I gazed at her pale face. She really looked different. I noticed it before but I thought it was just because of her pregnancy or stress but no. Now I realized that she was an addict and she needed help as quickly as possible.

"You don't want them to know because you know that everything is your fault. You don't want them to realize how cold blooded you are and how selfish you can be. You know what? I was willing to be a good husband to you. I became loyal and this is what you're going to pay me?!" I was breathing hard because of anger. Much as I wanted to talk calmly, I couldn't do it. He killed 'our baby' and I couldn't ever forgive her for what she did.

"Will you stop it Regan? You're giving me headache!" She spat at me and rubbed her temples.

I walked out of her hospital room and went to my car. I drove off to God knows where. I didn't care. All I wanted was to get away from her as far as I could. How could all of these things happened to me? How could someone be so cruel and selfish? Much as I want to get away from all of it, I couldn't.

I thought I was doing the right thing when I married Tiffany but I guess I was not. Especially of what happened now. I didn't even notice that my cheeks were wet because of my tears. I stopped the car at the road's shoulder. My chest felt so heavy. All the pain I was feeling from my father's death to the baby's miscarriage.

I was still lamenting over what happened when I heard my phone rang. It was Mia.

"Hello Mia" I said, trying my best to sound okay.

"Are you okay Reg? You sound unwell" She said. I cursed inaudibly and heaved a sigh.

"I'm okay Mia. Why did you call anyway?"

"Nothing really. After graduation, I haven't heard anything about you anymore. I'm here at Bryan's house right now together with Rosie. Do you want to hang out?" She asked me. I gazed down on my wristwatch and it was 4:10 pm. I wasn't in the mood for anything but I prefer to just hang out with them for a while than to go back to the hospital.

After my short time with my friends, I went back to the hospital. I wanted to call our families and tell them about what happened but I changed my mind. I didn't know what to do with our situation yet, honestly. My family doesn't want any divorce history in our family that's why my brain was still debating whether to file a divorce or not.

When I met with my friends a while ago, they noticed that something was wrong and they kept on bugging me to tell them. Then before I knew it, I confessed everything to them and they were shocked and angry.

When I reached the hospital, I went straight to my wife's hospital room. I was about to open the door when I heard people shouting inside. I heard a man's voice and then Tiffany's voice. They were fighting. I slowly twisted the door knob to open it, as discreetly as I could. Then I could clearly hear what they were quarrelling about.

"Will you stop this nonsense Richard?! It's already gone okay?" Tiffany shouted to the man.

"F*ck it Tiffany! You did this on purpose! You told me that you would stop using these drugs so that the baby would be okay! But look at what you did! Because of you, the baby is gone!" My eye brows creased as I heard what the man said. Now, I am really curious. I continued listening to them.

"Will you stop shouting Richard?! Regan might be coming back here any moment now and I don't want him to see you here. Get out now. Let's talk when I get out of the hospital"

"Damnit Tiffany! Would you stop this and just leave that husband of yours! It's very obvious that he doesn't love you or even care about you. I am always here, loving you. Even if 'our' baby is gone now, I can still accept you" Upon hearing him say that, I felt like my senses shut down and I couldn't feel anything. I slowly closed the door and walked slowly to the nearby chair at the corner of the hallway.

I closed my eyes and analyzed what I've just heard. I felt like my brain wasn't working properly but when I sort out my thoughts, the overwhelming anger replaced all the feelings inside me. I wanted to kill someone but stopped myself. It's not worth it. I walked out of the hospital and went home. I packed all my clothes and left.

I was so enraged of what she did to me. I was so full of regret thinking that I was the one who caused my father's death because I got her pregnant but no. I wasn't the father of the baby. Even though I wasn't ready to get married yet, I married her because I thought it was the right thing to do. That b*tch used me.

After a month, the divorce papers were sent to Tiffany but she didn't sign it. She tried to contact me on my phone or my office but I didn't answer any of her calls. Her parents even called me to ask about what our problem was but I just told them that Tiffany did a very terrible thing and I couldn't forgive her. Then one day, her brother Hunter came to my penthouse.

"How dare you do this to my sister?! She is suffering right now because of what happened to the baby but instead of being with her, you want a divorce?! You are nothing but a piece of trash!" He spat at me angrily and the anger inside me doubled. Ignorant brother!

"Why don't you ask your sister before you open your bloody mouth in my f*cking home?!" His jaw clenched and glared at me like he's going to kill me anytime soon.

"I already did and she just told me what kind of a useless bastard you are! You'll pay for this" his menacing voice echoed in my head as I stared equally angry at him. Then he turned his back and went out of my place. I felt sorry for Tiffany's family because they didn't know what kind of person she was and she was just twisting them around her little finger.

PRESENT

CARINA'S P.O.V.

"How did you manage to make her sign the divorce papers then?" I asked him curiously when he stopped talking.

"She told my lawyer that she would never give me my freedom. After 3 years of trying, she wouldn't still sign the papers. I gave up and never pushed about the divorce anymore but when I met you and we became lovers, that's when I continued pursuing it. I threatened to tell her family about what really happened to us. She couldn't do anything than to agree. Her father warned her before that if it was her fault that I left her, he would disown her. So our divorce was official 6 months after you left me. I didn't know why I never thought about that method before but I am glad it worked" I smiled at him and pecked him on the lips.

"I love you honey" I said full of emotion which made his eyes widened with shock. I wanted to laugh at him because of the way he looked at me full of surprise. His jaw even dropped open.

"Welcome home Kitten. You're back to me. I'm glad I didn't give up on finding you" He said emotionally and we hugged each other again. Our hearts were full of contentment and so much happiness.

Two and a half months have passed and the day for us to go back in the UK was fast approaching but Regan and I never talked about it yet. This past months together with him made my life complete. He made me feel loved. He already went back to work but he always manages to have time for me and Scarlet.

"Mom, I want you to meet your granddaughter Scarlet. She's growing up so fast. It's just a pity that you aren't here for her" I said while staring at my mom's tombstone. I suddenly felt emotional. It's been 4 years since she died but I still couldn't help but to miss her.

"Hello grandma. I am Scarlet" My daughter introduced herself cheerfully. I smiled fondly at her and kissed her forehead but I couldn't help the tears nearly fell down my eyes. I tried my best not to let them fall and blinked them back. I visited my mom 3 times since we arrived here but this was the first time I brought Regan and Scarlet with me.

"Mommy, why are you sad? Are you crying?" Scarlet asked as she looked up at me. I forced a smile because she tends to cry too when she sees me sad or crying.

"No sweetheart. I just miss your grandma so much" I answered my daughter. I felt Regan's arm snaked around my waist and pulled me closer to him and kissed my head.

"It's okay kitten. I'm sure she's happy right now wherever she is" He said comfortingly and I nodded in agreement.

"Mom, I also want you to meet Regan. He's the love of my life" I said lovingly. Regan looked at me and kissed my lips. I smiled at his sweet gesture.

"Nice to meet you ma'am. I promise you that I will make your daughter happy. I will love her until my last breath, including this little princess of ours here" He said and ruffled Scarlet's hair which made her giggled.

"Really daddy?"

"Yes princess. Daddy will always be here"

After we visited my mom's grave, we went straight to the hospital to visit Christine. She was rushed to the hospital yesterday and she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I wanted to go there yesterday but I wasn't feeling well too.

"Oh my gosh! He's so cute!" I squealed when I saw the baby in the hospital's nursery room.

"Yes. Thankfully she gave birth normally and didn't have any problem" Jace said as he gazed at his son. Regan introduced me to him when we arrived here. Christine was sleeping that's why we went out of her room so that we couldn't disturb her.

"Mommy, Mommy! I want to see the baby too" Scarlet whined as she raised her hands for me to pick her up. I chuckled and picked her up onto my arms.

"He's so small" She said in awe as she looked at the baby.

"Yes sweetheart. You were like that too when mommy gave birth to you" She looked at me quizzically.

"Really mommy? Was I cute too just like Aunt Christine's baby?" She asked innocently which made the three of us laugh. Regan squeezed her cheek adoringly.

"Of course baby. You were so cute but you used to cry a lot and you just stops when mommy holds you" I said and she giggled again.

"I love you mommy" She said sweetly and kissed me on the cheeks.

"What about me princess?" Regan asked tenderly and took Scarlet from me to his arms.

"I love you too daddy" Scarlet answered and kissed him too on the cheeks.
