Chapter: Chapter 13: I melt into his arms.Caroline I try to open my eyes, but the light feels like a knife to my brain. Groggily, I manage to crack them open a slit. I'm in a hospital room. Why? The beeping of machines fills my ears, along with the smell of disinfectant. My body feels numb, and I scan my brain before everything comes rushing back. The fight. The divorce papers. Grey's body flushed against mine as he pinned me to the wall. The photos. I blink my eyes, trying to clear my vision. As my vision clears, I see him. Grey. His head is bowed, his eyes closed. He's holding my hand. His fingers are wrapped around mine, clutching them delicately, like I'm a fragile thing that might break. His cologne hits me, a familiar scent I'm used to. A mix of emotions washes over me. Anger, hurt, confusion. The pictures of him and Callie flash in my mind. The pain of betrayal stirs again. I try to pull my hand away, but his grip tightens slightly. His eyes open, meeting mine. For a moment, we just stare. The ro

Chapter: Chapter 12: Why am i just noticing now?Grey As Caroline hits the floor, my expression shifts from cold detachment to panic. I rush to her side, my eyes wide with concern. Her eyes are closed. "Carrie! Carrie, wake up!" I call out, my voice trembling as I kneel beside her. She doesn't. She lies there, her hair flowing around her in a beautiful mess. I gently lift her into my arms, my face just inches from hers. "Carrie, please, don't do this. Don't leave me." My panic is obvious as I quickly stand up, cradling her in my arms. I rush out of the living room, taking the stairs two at a time as I head to the car. The drive to the hospital is a blur, with my heart pounding and my mind consumed by worry. I can't lose Caroline, not like this. Not after just telling her it's over. My mind dashes to her accusations. The fact that i wasn't there when Ariana died. I remember clearly, that day, after closing from work, I’d received a text message from Calliope that she had an accident. I didn't think twice

Chapter: Chapter 11: It seems peaceful.Caroline Grey's hot breath fans my face, and the living room grows silent; only the sound of our panting echoes through the room. The living room feels cold and empty, lacking the love that once filled it when our daughter was alive. He's pressed against me on the wall, his body hot and alive. I wait for him to choke me or maybe hit me hard enough to splatter my blood everywhere. He just glares at me with a cold, angry expression. "Do it!" I dare him. He should finish me off once and for all. The pain from this torture is worse. I'd prefer a quick death. "Why don't you just do it? You disgrace of a man. You betrayed me. You betrayed our daughter. And you betrayed your wedding vows." I wish I could stop talking, but the words burst out of my mouth with a rage I've never felt before. "Do you want to die so badly, sweetheart?" he smirks. It’s mocking. Degrading. He pushes himself off me, stepping far away as if I have a contagious disease. "Well, I won't be the

Chapter: Chapter 11: Grey slams me hard against the wall.Caroline My fist clenches, my breath ragged as I storm into the living room. The maids are after me, Ginger's brows furrow, her eyes scanning my face. The room falls silent, everyone avoiding eye contact. Except her. She walks up to me and stands right in front of me. “Caroline,” she calls, concern spreading across her face. I bite my lip hard, a sob shaking my entire body. “Ginger, you can't understand,” I whisper. The thoughts gnaw at me, a constant ache. No one knows how deep I'm falling apart. Not even Ginger. I blink back the tears. My throat is tightening. I've loved this man all my life, and not only is he betraying my love, but he's also doing it with my blood. My chest feels hollow, like I've been punched. “Of course I do,” she says. “I know how it feels when the person someone has trusted and loved all her life is the only person hurting her. But at the same time, I think you should calm down.” I shake my head, tears slipping to the floor. “I'm sorry, I j

Chapter: Chapter 9: I’m going to do something crazy to him.Caroline I can’t do this anymore. I sit at the edge of the king-sized bed with my phone in my hand, and my pictures displayed on the screen. Tears prick at the corners of my eyes, blurring the screen. My chest tightens. Breathing is becoming so difficult. I hadn't even changed my dress when i got home yesterday, i just slipped into my room, and wept my eyes out. Shivering as the cold of last night seeped into my body. I can’t wipe it from my head. Grey, with another woman, happy, smiling, sharing love in public. Something he has never done to me. He took me out on dates, but he was never that happy. I used to think that’s how he is, he’s simply cold in nature. So i didn't pressure him. I took whatever he gave me with happiness shining brightly in my eyes. But that’s not the case. He’s warm-hearted, romantic, and sweet. Not just to me—his wife. Why? I can’t think of a particular reason. Why did he marry me only to toss me away and make me feel like unused ho

Chapter: Chapter 8: Make me your wife.Calliope Grey clings to me, resting his head on my chest as he sleeps. The sound of his peaceful breathing fills my ears. For a moment, I lie there, enjoying the comforting peace. A smile tugs at my lips; today is the day I will begin to take what belongs to me. And by the time I'm done, Carrie will be forever broken. She stole what belongs to me first; now I'm taking it back, with cruelty and ruthlessness.I slip out of the bed, careful not to disturb Grey. I pad across the room, the carpet soft beneath my feet, and grab my phone. The pictures of Caroline light up the screen – sobbing and humiliated. I feel a crazy wave of satisfaction. My entire body tingles with excitement. I will make her pay for thinking she can take what’s mine. She will regret it, and by the time I'm done, it will be too late for her.My fingers fly across the screen, doing what I want. I start by spreading the picture of Grey and me having dinner, then cuddling on the bed. I add our beach vacation, mak
