Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife-Chapter 138 - DREAM COME TRUE

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up anymore. I waited too long for this reunion to happen. And now I couldn't believe all I ever prayed for and all I ever wanted was actually taking place.

I sat on the edge of the bed, my beautiful child leaning on my chest, my arms protectively wrapped around her so that no one could take her away from me again. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Claire watched us with a glint of tears in her eyes and a smile stretched on her lips.

Tears clouded my vision. I swallowed hard to suppress them. I cried a drum a while ago. If I continue to tear up, I will probably lose tons of fluid in my body.

My arms tightened around Vien. It felt so good to hold her in my arms. It felt so great to feel her heart beating—a proof that she was alive.

I don't want to ever let go of her. I fear she would dissolve into nothingness if I set her free.

There's nothing which could kill me now except realizing that she's an illusion my brain made up to feed my fantasies.

I have dreamed of this moment over and over again. Now that it finally came true, I couldn't speak. The moment was too wonderful to be described in words. So I just kept Vien in my arms so she would know how much I missed her without saying a word.

I didn't know how long I'd been in that position when the bed jolted and Claire sat beside me. She cleared her throat before she spoke, "Lucas Nicholas, my nephew was the first one to discover your daughter was alive."

Shock hit me hard, my questioning gaze landed on hers, "So Ace knows that our daughter is alive?"

When she shook her head,?I sighed. Relieved to know Ace didn't keep the truth from me. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

If Ace knows the truth he would not keep it to himself. He understands how I feel as a mother. I would be the first person he would come looking for after he knew our daughter was alive.

Claire let go a deep breath before she told me everything from start to finish. She told me the exact details of how Lucas found out my child was alive and how he was able to save her.

As I listened, helpless tears fell from my cheeks. I thought I couldn't cry anymore but I was mistaken. My eyes turned into a reservoir by the amount of tears it kept shedding.

The pain gripping my heart continued even after Claire finished her story. It broke my heart thinking about the wasted years. It took me four agonizing years to have my child back. Those?four years would be forever stolen. I would only be completely happy if the man who played with our lives paid for his sins.

Sniffing, I wiped the wetness on my cheeks using the back of my palms.

My baby girl has been through a lot. She suffered a lot too. And that is because of Vince. The thought of my daughter into Vince's evil hands stabbed my heart with a knife.

My fist curled into a tight ball. I never hated anyone the way I hated Ace's stepbrother. He not only ruined our lives but also faked my daughter's death. That was the worst thing he had done. I could never forgive him in a million years.

I hope someday justice will be served.?Even if it takes long but as long as justice is served I will wait patiently until Vince is convicted for his crimes.

"Lucas decided to keep Vien from you. He too kept the truth from Ace. He just wants to keep the child safe." Claire continued with a distant look in her eyes. "Please forgive Lucas for keeping Vien for a while. He knows that you and Ace are in danger. He doesn't want Vien to be dragged into another situation that would threaten her life."

I fully understand Lucas for what he did and I appreciate him for it. However, what I did not appreciate was not telling me right away. He wouldn't understand my sentiments unless he experienced what it feels to have a child.

I took a deep calming breath before I responded. "I'm not that angry anymore… Since it already happened and my daughter is saved I forgive him."

For the first time since I arrived in the Claymore Mansion, a contented smile stretched on my lips. "I will forever be grateful for what Lucas did. I couldn't thank him enough for placing his life in danger just to save my daughter."

"Vien is Lucas Nicholas's niece." Claire began, reciprocating my smile?with equal warmth. "It's his obligation to save a member of his family." She added, this time her eyes staring at Vien filled with fondness.

"I also want to thank you for taking good care of my daughter, Lady Ravenwood. You didn't only save my life today but you also saved my daughter."

Claire stepped closer and landed her dainty fingers on top of my shoulders. " As Ace's mother, it's my duty to protect you while he's away. I would do everything within my power to keep the two of you safe."

My gaze shifted from Claire to Vien. I discovered my daughter was fast asleep.

Claire saw her too. She slowly rose from the bed to give me space. I gingerly place my child on the bed. She stirred after her back landed on the soft cushion. "Mama… mama." She mumbled.

I sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand. "Mama's here my child." Vien stopped her panic cries as her fingers tightened around me. Tension left her face and she calmed down.

"When she first came here in the Claymore Mansion, Vien couldn't say a word. Her trauma must have made her mute. I was afraid that she would never be able to speak again. However, all my fear melted after you came. Hearing the child speak your name for the first time gave me so much hope."
