Kevin's POV

"Ashley" I whispered.

For a second I couldn't think of anything, it was like my mind went totally blank.

I have been dying to see her again but now that I saw her disappearing in front of my own eyes I'm not sure if I'm ready to face her yet or not because I don't know what her reaction will be after seeing me.

Damn!

Why am I getting nervous all of a sudden.

Will she be happy to see me?

No of course not I'm the one because of whom she left the place where she grew up than why on earth would she be happy to see me again.

She most probably still thinks that I cheated on her. I know she'll be mad at me. I know she'll question me or rather accuse me for cheating on her.

But how do I prove to her that I never did any such thing...that I love her the most in the entire world...that only she has the power to make my heart flip...and also the power of breaking it...which she already did when she left me behind with a letter and divorce papers.

But these are not the only things that made me freeze in my place. The thing is she looked a little different...she looked a little chubbier but that's not what I'm stunned or worried about.

Actually I don't know if it's just the sadness...the pain of losing my first and only child that's making me see things that do not exist in reality...but I think I saw that she had a baby bump.

I don't know how the fuck is that even possible...but I-I did saw it.

Well that is surely possible if she has moved on and had another baby with someone else, a little voice in my head spoke.

And somehow that little innocent thought alone was enough to make my heart twist in pain and jealousy and my jaw clench in anger.

But I know that's complete nonsense because she wouldn't be showing this much if she was pregnant for the second time I mean she looked like she was around seven or eight months along.

Wait.

When I left for my business trip and she had a miscarriage she was around two and a half months along and it's been five months since she left.

What. The. Fuck.

Though I don't know how to tell you this but I surely know that what I'm about to say will break your heart...but you have every right to know that...that I-I lost our baby.

I had a miscarriage.

I lost a part of my soul today which I'll never be able to find again.

I don't have the strength to see your hopes and dreams breaking down in front of me because I have already had a great loss and I'm broken.

I don't think I can handle seeing you breaking down too.

I'm letting you go.

"...she was so stressed and restless that one night she had lots of sleeping pills just to escape everything"

"...she woke up in the pool of her own blood"

"...but deep down she also knew that the damage was already done and nothing could be done to save her baby"

"...the doctor confirmed that she had a miscarriage due to overdose of sleeping pills and too much stress"

"...she blames herself for losing her baby"

Each and every word rang in my head as I stared blankly at nowhere...the letter that Ashley left behind...whatever Kelly said last night.

I just couldn't think straight at the moment...every single thought in my head seemed foggy.

Was it all a lie?

"Hey man, what's wrong with you. I have been calling you for minutes now. We are blocking the way out for other vehicles" I snapped out of my thoughts hearing Ben's voice as I looked around only to see that we were really blocking the way out for other people.

I quickly parked the car where it was earlier.

"Why did you park the car again. I thought we were leaving" Ben asked confused.

"Not so soon" I said in a low voice before hopping out of the car and walking inside the hospital.

I need to confront her right now.

I need a fucking explanation.

"Hey where are you going" Ben asked catching up behind me.

"Are you okay...you look mad. What's wrong" He added.

"Everything's wrong" I replied.

"What? I don't get you" he said.

"I saw her" I replied shortly.

"Who" He asked as we stopped by the reception.

"Ashley of course who else" I replied rolling my eyes as he was about to say something but was cut off by a feminine voice.

"Kevin. What are you still doing here. I thought you left" Seher said walking towards us.

"Oh Seher you came on the right time...I need your help" I said.

"I need you to get some information on a patient in this hospital" I added.

"But the hospital can't give out any information about any of our patients it's our policy we can't disclose..." She replied as I interrupted her.

"I know. That's why I need your help as you are a doctor here" I said.

"But Kevin..." She replied as I again interrupted her.

"Please for me. It's really important" I said.

"Okay who is it" She asked.

"My wife...Ashley Diaz" I replied.

"I mean Ashley Lewis" I quickly corrected myself knowing that after whatever happened between us she's probably not using my name anymore.

"Okay I'll be back" She said turning towards the receptionist.

"Hey can you tell me if there was any appointment made under the name Ashley Lewis recently" She asked the red haired receptionist.

"Dr. Seher you know our policy..." The red haired woman replied as Seher cut her off.

"I know that but she's my close friend and I can't reach her from the last few days and I really need to talk to her like right now...it's important" Seher said making a puppy face that no one can resist as the woman's eyes traveled from Seher to me as she gave the both of us a knowing looking as if telling that she knew that Seher was lying, before moving her attention to the computer screen in front of her.

"Ashley Lewis right..." She paused for a second.

"Yeah she does has an appointment with Dr. Camilla today" She added.

"Okay thanks" Seher replied.

"Let's go" She added turning towards me.

"Wait aren't we going to ask Dr. Camilla's room number, floor or something" I asked catching up with Seher.

"I know it. Anyways, what's your wife doing here I mean at the gynaecologist...is she pregnant or something" Seher asked as we reached on the first floor with Ben walking behind us silently.

"Yeah she is...I guess" I said in a low voice, mumbling the last part to myself.

"There, that is Dr. Camilla's room" Seher said pointing towards a room as we made our way towards it.

"Congratulations by the way" Seher added as I was about to reply something but words seemed to get stuck in my throat as I saw the room's door opening and Ashley walking out with some files in her hand as she smiled widely while staring down at something in the file totally oblivious to the things and people around her.

And it was not too long before she slightly bumped into me causing the files to fall down on the floor with it's contents splattered all across the floor.

As an instant reaction I bend down to grab the file and it's contents.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry I didn't see you coming" Said the voice that I have been dying to hear for so long...that I thought I would never get to hear again.

Oh of course I'm sure you didn't see me coming sweetheart otherwise you would have already ran away once again, I thought as I stared down at the ultrasound pictures in my hand that fell down along with the file.

"I missed you. It's good to see you again" I mumbled gently caressing the pictures with my thumb as an unwanted tear managed to slip down my eye.

"No problem at all" I replied softly as I got up after gathering myself emotionally.

"Here" I added handing her the file as I gazed at her beautiful glowing face...which hasn't changed even a little bit.

Well just except that she looked much more healthier than before.

Oh how much I have been longing to see this one particular woman.

And now here she is.

It all feels so surreal.

All the colour instantly drained out of her face...the beautiful smile that her lips held previously left as soon as she looked at me.

She looked pale.

She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again...it seemed as if words betrayed her.

She just looked too stunned to utter even a single word.

I smirked.

"Missed me? Darling" I asked.

"Kevin" She said in a barely audible voice.
