Chapter: Curiosity or concern

We left the hospital around 8pm after I was given a lot of instructions on how to go about my day so I wouldn't have issues with my pregnancy. I also ran some more tests but I was told I would get the result tomorrow.The ride home from the hospital felt like a nightmare. Every bump sent a jolt of pain through my lower abdomen. I clutched my stomach as I stared down at it.I was pregnant and although It felt strange, it was kind of a dream come true and it also felt like I was being tied to a sinking ship. I looked out at the streetlights as they blurred, my reflection in the window looked pale and tired. How was I going to raise it on my own?"Ma'am? We're here," Elaine said.I looked up to my prison as my legs remained still. My only goal was to get to the guest room, grab my already packed suitcase and disappear. The anniversary was tomorrow, but I couldn't wait that long. Not anymore.Elaine helped me to the door, I told both her and the gardener not to follow me inside. I thank

Chapter: Pregnant and disappointed

Morning came, Jamie was already gone. He left a note with a sapphire necklace with the words; No mistakes, be there on time. He didn't think to wake me up.I did my usual routine while listening to music.When I was through and wanted to take my bath, I thought of what he would say if I didn't show up or if his tuxes weren't ironed. That reminds me.I went up to check if he took the tux… it wasn't there but the dressing room was a mess. Every drawer was yanked open as well as his ties were scattered all over. I guess he had a rough time making a choice on what to wear to work. Well he'll soon feel it in his bones. I began to clear the mess he made. I guess he didn't notice my clothes had reduced. I had just finished showering and put on an oversized sweatshirt and was about to sit and read when the doorbell rang. I opened the door to find the gardener and Elaine, our house help. My mood changed. Jamie had called them."I dismissed you both for the week," I said, not sparing them

Chapter: Living for myself

The ride home was quiet, except for the swish of the windshield wipers against the glass. I leaned my head against the window, watching the city lights blur into streaks of neon. For the first time in five years, I didn’t check my phone every thirty seconds to see if Jamie had texted. I didn't rehearse an apology for leaving early. I just… breathed.When the car pulled up to the house, it felt less like a home and more like a museum. Everything inside was curated by Jamie’s taste. The monochromatic furniture, the discerning artworks, the lack of a single family photo. He didn't want to be reminded that anyone else lived there.I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of water, the sound of my shoes echoing as I walked. This was my life.I went upstairs to our bedroom which felt like a hotel room. I unzipped my dress, wiped away the makeup that always covered my expressions like a mask, and brushed out the hair that Jamie had called a mess.I remembered the early days,

Chapter: Tricked again

As I stared at the mirror, I looked like a queen. But adjusting the diamond necklace Jamie had bought me for my last birthday, I scoffed at the expensive apology for a dinner he’d missed, I felt more like a puppet.I checked the text message from Sarah again. Be at Willmore Hall at 10 pm. I found it strange she had texted me using her private line and when I called her to ask what for, she told Jamie that I was being rude and asking questions. I heard from the background when Jamie said “Be there or you'll regret not coming.”I knew Sarah didn't like me. I wasn't blind. Although she was Jamie's best friend, she was always around him. She knew him more than I did. She had this huge crush on Jamie but she didn't say anything to him because it would ruin their friendship. She has always been against me and everything I do.I naively assumed she wouldn’t dare sabotage an evening this important to Jamie. I was wrong. As the taxi drove through the rain-slicked streets toward Willmore Ha
