Chapter 17
Real Father
Two lovers who had rejected some of societyâs rules and Constantineâs wishes had not known they would be so rejected by society. A bad mother always deserves punishment. Walking around pregnant with one manâs child while she met another man to act like his wife was so unattractive to many in Russian society. They barely understood her motives. There were those who did not care if it was a sin, or there were those that envied them, but this did not make their position easy. Nevertheless, the two locked in this strange love continued to run away from Eden. Justiceâs destiny was to be measured out.
Constantine had tried to stay near his unborn child, but Anastova had strayed much. There came a time when Constantine was stunned to get a telegram from Sergei saying Anastovaâs child was about to be born. Constantine knew the time was realistic, but what shocked him was who the telegram was from. He hurried to be near his wife. Sergei was there and others who were medically necessary. Constantine refused to go in to see her, but he could hear enough from her and the talk of others to know she was not doing well. This did not shock him because he knew her recent lifestyle had been such a strain on her. He told Sergei he had to leave, as this was not his child, and he had no right to be present. Sergei, his face stoic, left. The telegram had not softened his attitude towards his wifeâs paramour. Constantine had been bitter, as the pregnant woman had not lived with him until the child had been born, even though the parents could not relate to each other well enough to be in the same room. When he knew his new son had been born and was healthy, he burst into tears of relief and broke out in a cold sweat. He tried to keep a bit of dignified reserve even now in front of others. He could not hide his happiness upon hearing that his wife was doing so poorly that she had fainted. He would not have to talk with her. He made arrangements against her wishes that the baby would be home with him as soon as the child was ready. He looked forward to telling happy family news to his other son and daughter. He would be able to put some of their worries to rest. They did not know what to worry about and what not to. He did not care to learn the rest of the details of his wifeâs health.
Days later, he visited Katerina again. As she sat, her face was a mask of fury because he had taken the baby. She expected him to tell her how the child was doing â she did not even know its gender for sure. She had many questions. But though he knew she wanted to hear of her baby, he merely told her she was a divorced woman.
