Chapter 5Eloise Brooke "Justin?" My voice came out in a whisper as I stared at the person I least ever expected to see. Justin Lloyd. My college ex-boyfriend.His footsteps echoed in the room as he counted his steps toward the bed where I was now seated.He pulled a chair and sat in front of me. "How are you feeling now? Are you okay?"His brown eyes bored into mine worriedly, and as his warm palm came in contact with my skin, my heart fluttered, and my throat went dry. How could it be him? He was supposed to be dead!"Are you hurting anywhere? Should I get the doctor?" My mouth was only hanging open. No words came out. How could this even be?Justin and I dated for years back in college, but we broke up before he traveled out of the country to take over his father's business after our graduation.By the time he returned years later, I was already married to Lucas. We both had to move on, because I already did. Then months later, I got the shocking news of my life. Justin had die

Chapter 4Eloise Brooke "Eloise... Eloise... Are you ok?" My head banged with a headache as I forced my eyes open to the faint masculine voice calling out for me.The first thing I saw was the white blurry ceiling above my face.'Finally! I have been reunited with my parents'That was the first thing that came to my mind as I breathed out in relief. Thankfully , I didn't wake up to find myself burning in the pit of hell. I guess my creator was merciful enough to bring me here instead, after all the pain I've been through."Eloise... Are you awake?" A blurry figure towered over me as the same voice called out my name again. If the person wasn't young, I would've presumed he was my late dad.'What if people grow younger when they die?' "Doctor, thank goodness you are here. I think she's trying to wake up." The voice came on again, disrupting my thoughts. Wait! Am I really in the other world, or did I survive the fire outbreak?I tried to figure out what was happening, but the last t

Chapter 3Eloise Brooke I fondled my fingers, my heart hammering against my ribcage as I waited in the living room for Lucas.When I came home last night, he had already gone to bed, so I had to sleep in the living room as the door to the guest room was already locked. I rose to my feet, cold seeping through my body as his footsteps echoed down the staircase.Then he showed up, fully clothed in a charcoal suit. "Goo... good morning Lucas."His cold eyes met mine as he stood in front of me."Have you packed your things now?" "Lucas---""Why did you go to my Mom last night? Were you hoping she'd save you?" He scoffed, tucking his hand inside his pocket, a briefcase held in the other one.I dragged in a heavy breath, blinking my eyes to fight back my tears. "Anyway... That's your problem... You need to leave before Rose gets here." My eyes widened."She is moving in." He finalised."I sent five million to your account... That should be enough to start a new life." He said, turning

Chapter 2Eloise Brooke 'Lucas's Mom' was the first person I could think of for help, so I went to her for help. Unlike Lucas, his Mom was different. She loved and cared for me like I was her own daughter. Well, that was until the death of my parents. She had changed toward me, but a part of me still believed that there was still a soft spot left for me in her heart."Mom... Mom..." My legs trembled beneath me as I dragged them into her living room, however, I halted abruptly on my track, and froze at the sight that welcomed me.She sat on one of the couches in her spacious and furnished living room, legs crossed, unbothered... And Rose... She sat beside her."Mo...m..." My voice faded into silence, and I swallowed nothing.It's not what I'm thinking, right?"Eloise... You are here?" She stood and smiled at me, but I could see the shock in her eyes. She didn't expect that I would be here."Why are you here at this time of the day?"But my eyes shifted to Rose, my jaw almost reaching

Chapter 1Eloise Brooke 'Congratulations, Mrs Holt. You are four weeks gone'As I waited in the living room, my fingers tightened around the pregnancy test result, as if my whole world depended on it.Lucas, my husband, walked in through the entrance door. Elegant in his charcoal suit. A briefcase in his grip. A deep frown on his face... as always.My heart pumped hard in my chest as I stood and went to take his briefcase. "Lucas... You are home..."He ignored me and went to sit on the couch."How was work? I made dinner... You should shower and eat something." I was sure I looked so stupid right now, with my voice almost shaky. I just didn't want him to have a reason to complain today like he always does."I'm not hungry..." He paused, his eyes scanned me with contempt, then he said, "Give me that," his voice icy cold and dismissive.I hurried to give him his briefcase."Sit." He commanded, without so much as even a glance.My heart pounded hard against my ribcage as I sat across fr
