Imagine, post-marriage, the sudden revelation of a child from his wife.
Just the thought gave Kylan goose bumps.
The ward was enveloped in silence.
Tyrone leaned against the sofa, face impassive. Lips pursed, brows furrowed, teeth and fists clenched, he stared at the ceiling, deep in thought.
He was reluctant to believe the medical record, but both doctors affirmed it with conviction.
He shut his eyes, straining to recall his wedding night with Sabrina.
Although under the influence, he had been coherent. He distinctly remembered that Sabrina was not a virgin.
It hadnt bothered him then. Firstly, his affection for Sabrina was nonexistent. Secondly, she was a college graduate by then. It wasnt surprising that she had been in love and had sx with others.
Only now did he find it odd. He couldnt recall ever hearing about Sabrina being in a relationship during college.
As he reflected on Sabrinas college days, a realization struck him. He abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils constricting.
He refused to believe Sabrina had a child, as pregnancy lasts at least six months. Before marriage, she resided with his grandparents, making it challenging to conceal a six-month pregnancy.
Suddenly, he remembered that in Sabrinas second year of college, she had participated in a national competition and emerged as the winner.
Supported by the national student studying foundation, she was granted an opportunity to study abroad for a year.
Her junior year was spent overseas.
If she had been pregnant during this period, it would correspond with the physicians estimate of three or four years.
Unconsciously, Tyrones fists tightened to the point of his knuckles whitening.
Tyrone was swallowed by a whirlpool of sorrow, bitterness, jealousy, and rage.
His and Sabrinas child was gone.
Yet shed given birth to another mans child.
Who was this man?
Had he been her first?
Why had he allowed Sabrina to endure childbirth alone, abandoning responsibility?
Given the chance, Tyrone swore to make the man pay..
