Chapter 4Emily~•~I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I think part of it was because I was heartbroken and the other because my nostrils had clogged from crying so much. I had fallen asleep around 3am and I barely slept for three hours before my alarm clock went off. The sound of my alarm clock drove me right off my bed. I looked around and realized Nathan wasn’t by my side. I walked to the living room and didn’t see him there either. “He must be in the shower,” I muttered under my breath. I sat at the edge of the hotel bed, staring at the black envelope in my lap. The divorce papers inside felt heavier than they should have as if they carried the weight of the last ten years. I had told him I would sign the papers before we left for the airport but as I held the paper in my hands my heart sank deeper and deeper. I took a deep breath and reached for a pen. In as much as it would kill me to start over, he already made up his mind and I was done letting him hurt me. J

Chapter 3 Nathan ~•~ As she stepped into the bathroom, I couldn’t help but wonder why she didn’t argue back or ask me why I’d wanted to divorce her. She was so calm and it pissed me off. Had she been expecting it all along? Was she having an affair? Several thoughts lingered on my mind as I waited for her to come out of the bathroom. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the door. The sound of running water hummed from the other side, soft and steady, but I didn’t hear anything else. No crying. No yelling. No questions. I thought she’d fight. I thought she’d demand answers, scream at me, call me a coward. But she didn’t. She just left. My chest tightened as I rubbed my palms together, restless. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. I rose to my feet, stepping toward the door before I could stop myself. My knuckles hovered over the wood. “Emily?” Silence. A drop of something cold slid down my spine. I pushed the door open without thinking. She sat on the floor, back a

Chapter two Emily ~•~ “I’m probably overthinking, he’s just being sweet,” I muttered to myself. “What’s on your mind, don’t you like the food? You’ve barely touched your plate.” Nathan asked, narrowing his eyes on me. “Oh, I was just wondering how good of a husband you are.” I let out a smile before pressing a kiss on his cheek and taking out a bite of my food. Dinner was awkward, everyone at the table seemed to be having fun except me. I barely ate my food and for some reason, my mind wasn’t at rest. Nathan placed his hands on my lap and snapped me out of my thoughts. “I want to make a toast, I’ll need your full attention please.” Nathan announced. “Can I have everyone’s attention?” He added. Everyone went silent as he stood, lifting his glass of deep red wine. Around the long dining table, his closest colleagues, business partners, and their poised, elegant spouses turned their attention to him. I sat at his side, my fingers lightly grazing the stem of my untouched gl

Chapter one Emily ~•~ The sun hung low over the ocean, casting a golden shimmer across the waves as I relaxed on the balcony of my private villa. The soft crash of the tide below mixed with the rustling of palm trees, created a soothing melody that should have made me feel at peace. But even in paradise, I still felt a sense of unease. I took my phone, angling the screen so my sister, Emma, could see the breathtaking view. “Can you believe this place? He really outdid himself this time,” I said with a small smile, referring to my husband, Nathan. He had surprised me with this trip, an extravagant escape to a secluded island resort, just the two of us, away from the noise of our busy lives. Emma, lounging on her couch back home, sipped from her wine glass and smirked. “I don’t know if I should be happy for you or incredibly jealous. Seriously, Emily, this looks like something out of a movie.” I chuckled, but it was a little forced. I love Nathan. At least, I had loved hi
