His Second Wife by Favor V April

~Christopher’s POV~
When I returned home, screams greeted me. Then I overheard a man conversing. I recognized the voice as Henry’s. My wife’s
cry echoed through the house once more. I dashed upstairs and saw her trying to walk.
“Give me my son! I want my boy!” She screamed. I tried to reach out and hug her, but she pushed me away.
“Do not touch me; give me my son!” I glanced at her and realized there was no way I could pacify her. She had a strong
suspicion that something had happened to her son.
“Camille, Liam is in good health.”
“Do not tell me that my son is fine. I’d like to see him. Can you tell me why you don’t want me to see him?”
Henry had before informed me that Liam had not yet awoken. That’s one reason he won’t let her see him. She snatched up the
crutches and began crushing everything in her path. She then fell to the floor.
“Please, Chris.” She pleaded. I’ve never seen Camille in this light. I did not know how much my son meant to her. She was going
to hurt herself, so I had to stop her. I went to carry her since I knew conversing with her would be pointless. Of course, she hit my
back until we got to the room where Liam was in. I set her down and took her face in my hands.
“Listen to me! Here is your son!” I shrieked because that was the only way she would stop dreaming that something might have
happened to Liam. “He is fine!” Her gaze shifted to Liam’s position. She gathered one of her crutches and proceeded to Liam’s
side. This time, she broke down in tears softly.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart; I’m a terrible Mommy. I was preparing for the worst. My Cielito, I’m very sorry.” She then rose to her feet
and failed to elevate one of her legs. I approached her. We have our disagreements, but I know she requires my help. I
embraced her.
“There is nothing to be afraid of since I am here to help you, babe.”
“Chris, is my baby alright? Why hasn’t he moved?”
“When you were sleeping he woke up, but we told him you would come to see him.” I lied, he hasn’t woken up since. This is the
only way to pacify her. I should have killed Jack, but I need his services. Claudia must make restitution. I’m going to hurt her. We
parted ways long ago. I never told anyone the reason I wanted her out of my life. My parents and grandparents were the only
ones who knew what had happened, but half the story, something had been off about Claudia. She never loved me or Joshua,

she was after something, but what? Despite everything, she was still the mother of my son. But, she is not a mother at the
moment. How could she attempt to kill her own son? I expected this woman to change. I raised my eyes to the girl in front of me.
She is the woman who I married. Not out of affection, but because I desired my grandfather’s withdrawal. I did not know I would
feel so strongly for her that every woman would appear so mundane. I loved her from the start and I continue to secretly love my
wife. But how do I communicate my sentiments to a girl that is close enough in age to be my baby sister? It pains me to hurt her,
yet I am powerless to stop myself from expressing my affection for a girl, like my wife. She thinks I don’t find her attractive, but
she is the most attractive woman I’ve ever met. Furthermore, my affection will only serve to harm her. I am a non-believer in love
and my wife seems to be the kind that believes in family and true love, but I don’t have time for those two things. I’m not sure if
the feelings I have for her are ones of love or lust. But one thing is certain, I will protect her for the sake of our family and for the
sake of whatever the hell I’m feeling for her. I fucking pray this is not Hindi(Love). I don’t understand this language and I fucking
don’t wish to understand it. I carried her to bed and lay with her and Liam on the same bed. I’ve never slept with both of them in
this way before. It felt incredible. I waited for my wife to fall asleep, then quietly left the room for my study.
“Give me all the information I need about my ex-wife. Leave nothing behind.” I said to Robin. I then looked at my friend, “Henry,
please come with me to my study.”
My friend Henry arrived shortly afterward. I am very grateful that he is both a friend and a family physician. He entered with an
unusually long face.
“How did you get such a long face?”
“I’ve been desiring to speak with you. Liam does not appear to be in excellent health. Although no damage has been done, I get
the distinct impression that he slept for an extended period of time. I attempted to wake him but received no response.”
“What is the matter with him?”
“He is still reeling from the shock, Chris. What actually happened? Your wife also does not look good, but she is a strong woman.
However, I advise that you tell her the truth about your son, but not yet. She isn’t doing well now. Wait for her to recover and you
can tell her that Liam hasn’t woken up since the accident. For the time being, all I can say is, rather tell her half the truth.”
“Claudia tried to assassinate my wife, and when she spotted Liam, she attempted to assassinate Liam, knowing how important
Liam is to Camila. To be honest, this is entirely my fault. I welcomed this woman upon her return and slept with her. My wife
caught me sleeping with Claudia, not once, but twice. That is why she left; I knew that if I took Liam away from her, she would
take it badly. So when she served me with the divorce and custody papers, I elected to entrust her with sole custody of Liam.

She was not planning to stay here. She left with Liam by her side. It appears as though I am awful news for her. We reconnected
today following months of trailing her and now this.”
“Chris, you know that I will always tell the truth. Why are you causing harm to your family over an old flame? You never explained
why you divorced Claudia, but if she attempted to assassinate her own son, she clearly did not want the boy. Additionally, you
are aggravating issues with your struggle to love your son. Your son is completely innocent in this case. You and Claudia brought
that child into the world, and yet the two of you show no interest in him. If you ask me, your wife is God-sent. Your son is
unaware she is not his biological mother. Put an end to your family’s suffering. Chris, if you want to be with Claudia, leave your
wife and son alone.”
“I wish it were that simple. Henry, I’m having difficulty letting go of my wife. Simply because I love her, not even fucking sure if it’s
love, but what I feel for her is rare. Yet, I cannot inform her of this because of her age. I’m unable to sleep with her. When she
wants to see other males, I lose it and end up crossing the line. What would she think of me if she discovered my desire for her?
You and I both know that I am incapable of remaining faithful to a single lady. What if I cause her harm? I’d rather look like a jerk
who hurts her feelings than commit.”
“What if she already knows that you love her, what if she feels the same way about you, what if she has no problem with your
age? I mean, she married you knowing you were older. Look, as you and I both know, there was no love involved in my marriage
to Yvonne. I married her because they adamantly opposed me to marrying Lynn. You are well aware of my story? Yvonne and I
never loved each other, but we became acquainted. She is also quite young, though not as much as Camila. But, I learned to
love her and got to know her, and trust me, Yvonne is the best woman and I am happy that I married her. Have you ever tried to
get to know your wife? Have you asked her if she has a problem with the age difference that you keep on using as an excuse?
Chris, get to know your wife before you lose it all.”
“Nope, I’m already aware of the response. I cannot provide her with what she desires. Although I’m uncertain, I’m certain she
cares about me.”
“Well, let us hope you don’t wake up too late. This is the time to mature, but if you continue to play games, you will lose
everything and will have only yourself to blame. That young lady loves your son. It’s as if she has no reason to continue without
Liam. Before it’s too late for your miserable ass, ask her what she wants. I will return tomorrow morning to check on them.”
Robin entered just as Henry was leaving. With a handful of files in his hands,

“I conducted some research on your ex-wife. It’s the same old story. She dated Joshua for five years before he married his wife.
She came to you to arouse his envy. But, we are well aware of this, as shown by the time you sought a divorce and she fled the
country. She had a second lover.”
“What do you mean? How did she acquire another boyfriend after giving birth?”
“It wasn’t a casual encounter, sir. She wed him in order to flee the nation. She remains married to him to this day, despite the fact
that no one knows where Jacob Roberson is.”
“What, she is married to Jacob Roberson and has been having sex with his twin brother as well? Who am I deceiving? This is
not the first time she has done something like this. You may leave. And Robin, for the time being. Tell my wife Liam woke up, but
she was sleeping. Don’t tell her he hasn’t moved. It will kill her.” He nodded and left.
