SELENE Three years. Three long years of silence, cold shoulders, and feeling invisible. And now... he was looking at me. Speaking my name. Selene. It rolled off his lips like a spell, shattering the walls I had built around my heart. But a question burned hotter than relief or joy: Does he remember everything... or just my face? "How on earth does he remember her and not us?" Nora snapped, pointing at me. Sebastian's eyes shifted from mine to his sister. "Who... are you?" Nora scoffed, stepping back, her confidence faltering for the first time. "Look at me, Sebastian." Mrs. Kingsley said gently, taking hold of his arms. "I'm your mother." "My... mother?" He echoed, confusion clouding his features. "Yes!" She exclaimed, a mix of hope and fear in her voice. "Don't you remember me?" Sebastian furrowed his brows and shook his head slowly. The doctor stepped forward. "Let's give him some time. He just woke up and needs rest. Why don't we all go to my office for now?"

SELENE I sat in the cold surgical waiting room, my hands clenched tightly in my lap, staring at the sterile walls. Time felt cruel and slow, stretching endlessly. The sharp scent of disinfectant burned my nose, pressed down on my chest like a weight I couldn't lift. I had never been this scared in my entire life. My mind wouldn't stop replaying everything I had said to him, the anger, the hurt, the words I threw at him over the phone. I had lashed out when he couldn't even defend himself. Little did I know... he had been fighting for his life. My gaze dropped to my trembling hands, and a single tear slipped free, landing on my knuckles. I had told him I hated him. I had said I wanted him out of my life. But I never meant this. I never wanted to lose him like this. Please, God... don't take him away from me. As I sat there praying, lost in my thoughts, hurried footsteps echoed down the hallway. Voices followed, urgent and anxious. I lifted my head and turned to see

SELENE "I want a divorce." The words trembled on my lips as I stared at the envelope clutched in my hands, the thick cream paper inside heavy with finality. "Three years with you have been hell and I... I..." My voice cracked. I squeezed my eyes shut as pain flooded my chest. "No, Selene. No." I opened my eyes and met my reflection in the mirror. She looked tired. Hollow. Like someone who had cried too much and hoped for too long. "We had practiced this for days." I whispered bitterly to myself. "And you still couldn't say it." With a shaky breath, I opened the envelope and slid out the divorce papers. The edges trembled between my fingers. It had taken me three years to finally gather the courage to leave this hell disguised as marriage. Three years of silence, endurance, and pretending everything was fine. What had taken me so long? Fear? Hope? Foolish love that was never returned? I had loved Sebastian. Truly. Even now, the memory still burned of how the yo

SELENE Beep... Beep... Beep... My hands froze on the refrigerator handle. For a moment, I just stood there, heart stuttering at the sharp sound of the door code being entered incorrectly. The living room was dim, shadows stretching lazily across the walls as I squinted toward the wall clock. 3:00 a.m. Beep... Beep... Beep... The sound came again, more frantic this time. I heard muffled curses from the other side of the door, metal clinking as someone fumbled aggressively with the keypad. I closed the fridge slowly and stepped away from it, my fingers curling around the hem of my nightdress. My chest tightened, not with fear, but with a dull, familiar resignation. The lock finally clicked. The door creaked open. I took a step back and quickly turned on the light. Sebastian stood in the doorway, swaying slightly, one hand braced against the doorframe as he muttered under his breath. He tugged at his tie, struggling to loosen it. He was drunk. And I wasn't s
