A LIAR AT THE ALTAR SEASON 2: CHAPTER 21 – 30
Chapter 27
“I’m sorry but I’ll have to ask you both to leave.”
“Leave? I’m not leaving here until I know where my daughter is.”
Tristan said with an intimidating tone.
“Didn’t you read the rules and regulations before signing the papers?”
“I did, I know I’m not supposed to be here, but…” I tried to explain.
“Then please leave,” she cut in quickly.
“We are not here to fight, we just wanna talk.”
I said calmly.
“I don’t think I can provide you with any information about the child you gave up for adoption, it’s the rules.”
“F*ck the rules!”
Tristan yelled.
“Tristan,” I called placing my hand on his hand that was already fisted.
“Hey, you have to stay calm. Do it for her, stay strong for her.”
I whispered. He took a glance at me and relaxed.
The lady looked calm like she was used to seeing people like us.
“Please, can you hear us out?” I asked calmly.
“There’s nothing you’re going to tell me that will change my mind.”
She said and I heard Tristan scoff.
“Can you just tell us if she is still here or if she has been adopted?”
“No, I can’t.”
Tristan’s hand clenched, I gave his hand a soothing squeeze.
“I’m sorry I can’t help you.”
Dr. Aracelly said.
I turned to look at Tristan, he was looking down.
“So, there is no way we can get her back?”
I asked like I didn’t know the answer already, I wished there was another way.
“I’m sure you took your time making the decision, the moment you signed those papers she was no longer your child…”
“And who are you to decide that? She is my blood and no stupid paperwork is gonna change that,”
Tristan cut in.
“This is bullsht, I will find another way to get my daughter.”
Tristan said and left the office.
I looked at the woman not knowing how to convince her to help us, she was very loyal to her job.
“Our job is to protect these kids and give them a good home. You can’t just show up and snatch them from their new life or new family.
Your child probably has a new identity now, you can’t change that.”
“Thanks for your time.”
I told her and stood up.
“Have a nice day and tell your husband, I’m sorry for pissing him off. I was just doing my job.”
“I understand.”
I gave her a firm smile and left the room.
Tristan was on the phone when I came out. He kept pacing around and running his fingers through his hair.
“Okay, get all the details you need and get back to me.”
He said to the person on the other line and ended the call.
“Is everything okay?”
I asked.
“Yes,” he replied not looking at me. He entered the car and I followed. I spoke to Vina on the phone on our way back to the hotel.
I sat at the foot of the bed when we entered the bedroom in our suite.
Tristan spoke on the phone with Adrian, he kept cursing at the lady we met at the Agency. I knew he was mad at me but he didn’t want to admit it.
Tristan released a heavy breath when he finished on the phone. He didn’t say a word to me, he changed into black Nike sweats and grey shirt.
“Why didn’t you ever ask for help?”
He asked calmly when he came out of the closet.
“I was scared,” I said.
“You should have asked for help, Cassie! Maybe this would’ve been avoided.”
His tone increased.
“From who? The people that made me feel worthless? The people that ruined my life?”
I stood up and walked closer to him.
“I was never planning on having a baby especially twins. My life was a mess and I was trying to move on.
Trust me, the last thing I wanted was to be pregnant with your child. There was nothing I could do about it.
Was I suppose to run to you after what you did? I was in a stage where I felt insecure, where I could trust no one and where every decision I made seemed right, Tristan.”
I couldn’t hold the tears back.
“I was wrong, I admit it.
I couldn’t stand the thought of watching them suffer because I brought them into this world, it was my responsibility to make sure they have a better life.”
“You had Vina, she would do anything for you. I know we all hurt you but the twins didn’t deserve any of this.”
“Are you even listening to yourself right now? You make it sound so easy. You had no idea what I was going through, do you know how many times I thought of having an ab©rtion?
I knew I was never going to be the best mother. What about you? You were so busy having a vacation with your family to care.”
“And just so know, I don’t have to turn to Vina for everything, she has her own life to live you know.”
“You don’t have to keep blaming me for your mistakes. I know I did horrible things to you in the past but you can’t keep blaming me for every mistake you make.
I know it was hard for you, I can’t imagine what you went through keeping the twins and I always be grateful for your decision.”
I bit on my lips to stop the sound of my cry, the guilt and pain I have been trying to avoid resurfaced.
“Sometimes you need help to get to your goals. You don’t have to do everything on your own, you hated me and my family but you had your best friend, she would have helped. Kayla will still be here if you had asked for help.”
He said and left the room.
I sank to the floor in heavy tears, I cried like a baby not holding the sounds back.
