“Don’t worry, Faye, when Ariel leaves we’ll get married and we’ll also have our kids,” he said.
Eventually I agreed to have a child for Gabriel and Ariel but before I could deliver, Ariel died from an accident.
I ended up giving birth to twin boys and Gabriel, still devastated over the loss of Ariel, begged me to take care of the kids.
Two years later and Gabriel hasn't married me. When I asked him he said his wife died and I want him to get married immediately.
“How do you think that would look? People will accuse me of being unfaithful and happy my wife died,” Gabriel said.
“But I’m your wife, Gabriel, I was supposed to marry you,” I stated.
Gabriel sighed, “No one knows that anymore. Just focus on the kids, Faye, we’ll get married soon.”
I focused my energy on taking care of the twins. When it became evident Gabriel had no intention of marrying me I still stayed for the sake of my sons.
But my sons were ungrateful. No one ever told them I was their surrogate mother and they mistreated me so badly.
Eleven years I dedicated myself to raising them. They disrespected and insulted me.
They preferred Lily, their nanny and regarded her as their mother while accusing me of being responsible for Ariel’s death.
Today was the height of it all. I'm done enduring and waiting for them to love me.
Today, I have decided to leave.
Faye’s Pov
After I ended the call, I took a deep breath trying to calm my racing heart.
I wasn't going to cry. I've done my fair share of that over the past eleven years.
Now was the time to hold my head up high and find Gabriel as I tell him I’m leaving.
I heard the sound of music coming from the hall and I knew the birthday party had started.
Putting on a pink dress I found in the closet, I stepped outside.
As I stepped into the hall, my heart broke into tiny pieces.
Right before me, Gabriel was on his knees, holding out a diamond ring as he presented it toward Lily, the twins' nanny.
“Will you marry me?” he asked her.
Lily chuckled and nodded, “Yes.”
The crowd broke into happy cheers while I watched as the boys hugged Lily, smiling happily.
“Yess, Lily is finally going to be our new mommy,” Ian said.
“I’m so glad it’s not that wicked witch, Faye,” Ace added.
I chuckled and clapped my hands, my action making my presence known.
“Congratulations,” I said.
Gabriel’s eyes widened slightly when he saw me, “Faye, what —”
