, But little did others know, away from the public eye, Aiden's life was a tough slog.,

"Look, Aiden's human too, you know? He gets tired. I've seen him, more times than I can count, sneaking out for a smoke in the dead of night. It broke my heart every time, made me feel like I was dragging him down,

" Haley said, shaking her head softly.,

"I wanted to break it off with him, not just for me, but because I loved him. I couldn't bear to see him so run-down,

" Haley admitted, flipping her image on its head.,

"Now he's not tired anymore. He'll never be tired again,

" I muttered under my breath., Catching the sarcasm in my voice, Haley retorted,

"Felicia, you've never lived a day in my shoes. You wouldn't understand.” Her voice was forceful, almost a roar., She locked eyes with me, and after a moment, her anger seemed to dissipate,

"Felicia, about Aiden's death, I really didn't harm him. I just wanted him to see me cheating so he'd leave me by his own choice, to free him.”,

"The car accident wasn't your doing?

" I whispered.,

"No, no,

" Haley shook her head vigorously.

"Aiden was so good to me. I'm not a monster. How could I ever want him dead?

",

"But in the end, he died because of you,

" I didn't give her the chance to absolve herself, pinning her to the pillar of guilt for Aiden's death., Haley's eyes trembled as she looked at me, then she lowered her head, “I'll make it up to him in the next life.”,

"With how cruel you are, if Aiden ran into you in the next life, he'd probably avoid you like the plague,

" I didn't sugarcoat my words, my attacks becoming more severe., If it weren't for her pregnancy, I would've been tempted to physically shake some sense into her., I'd heard from Conrad before, how his buddy Aiden was the type to put his wife before his own life, treating her like a goddess., Hearing Haley's side, my heart ached for Aiden, but I also thought he was foolish., Loving someone is fine, but not to the extent of giving your all. Otherwise, once the love is unbalanced, it leads to destruction., Haley was lucky to have Aiden's love in this life, yet her greed cost her everything.,

"Felicia, I know I'm detestable, but I was desperate. Now that you've found your happiness, can you let me off? Can you get Rad to come back?

" Haley's focus was still on Conrad.,

"Hasn't Conrad arranged everything, for you? You have a place to live, money to spend. Does it matter whether he comes back or not?” | couldn't grasp her true motive for wanting to see Conrad. , Haley bit her lip,

"Felicia, getting by isn't just about having a roof over your head and money to spend.

", I got it then. She still wanted love, wanted a complete happiness.,

"Haley, you sure want a lot,

" I couldn't help but retort sarcastically., Haley's hand rested on her belly,

"Who doesn't want a perfect happiness? Besides, the Martins refuse to acknowledge this child. Rad won't let me terminate the pregnancy, so he's gotta come back and be a father to my child. , Hearing this, I suddenly thought Conrad was dumber than a donkey., For a moment of thrill, he'd entangled himself with this woman, likely to be stuck with her for life., But that was his own doing.,

"Felicia, please, get Rad to come back. I know you can reach him,

" Haley was certain., I wondered where her confidence came from, but she guessed right. Conrad wouldn't take anyone's calls, except mine.,

"Ms. Perez, you saying only I can contact him, what does that tell you?

" I asked with a sneer., A flicker of embarrassment crossed, Haley's face, but she quickly, responded,

"I know he's only got eyes for you, but I don't care. just want him physically, that's enough for me.
