Chapter: CHAPTER 5~Emily“Are you sure about this, Emily?” Martha asked, standing behind me and watching me arrange my clothes into the suitcases.“I am, Martha,” I replied, my voice betraying me, trembling slightly.It had been over two weeks since we proceeded with the divorce, and the court would finally be dissolving the marriage today.And Henry?I didn’t know when last I saw him around the house and, honestly, I didn’t care. I had stopped caring about anything and everything that concerned him. The only thing I knew was that he had been cooperating with our lawyers.He had even sent me a text in the wee hours of this morning, telling me not to keep him waiting.I guessed he also couldn’t wait to end this sham of a marriage.My train of thought broke as I heard Martha sobbing. I paused what I was doing and turned, my heart breaking at the sight.“Martha,” I said softly.“Please, don’t leave.”“I have to,” I said with resolve.Deep down, I wished I could stay because of her, but Henry didn’t deserv

Chapter: CHAPTER 4~EmilyI peeled my eyes open to the soft hum of machines around me and the subtle smell of antiseptic and something sterile.The fluorescent lights hanging from the ceiling attacked my eyes, causing me to close them briefly, and when I reopened them, I wished I hadn’t, as the memories flooded back: my cries, Caroline’s words, the blood on the tiles…I gasped out loud, my hand flying over to my stomach. My heart sank. I couldn’t feel my child inside me anymore.“My baby.” A sob broke from my lips as I heard the door open and footsteps rush inside.Martha came into my line of sight. Her eyes were red, and there was a solemn expression on her face.“Where is my baby, Martha?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly. “Where is my little Tatum?”“I’m so sorry, Emily.” She shook her head, her voice cracking. “Tatum… he couldn’t make it.”“The doctors tried their best…”Martha’s voice grew distant as tears quietly fell from my eyes while I stared into the void, my mind rewinding everything that h

Chapter: CHAPTER 3~EmilyMy eyes watered, seeing that my husband couldn’t at least pretend to have my back. But I forced the tears back, refusing to break.“Forgive her for my sake, Henry,” Caroline said, reaching for Henry and deliberately gliding her hand over his arm as she looked at me and said, “Pregnancy hormones sometimes make women say… insensitive things, right, Em?”I scoffed, shooting her a glare, sharp words burning like fire in my throat. I nearly spat them out. Henry’s warning came to mind, forcing me to stay calm.“She is a doctor and should know how to control that,” Henry said, speaking the most stupid words ever.“Indeed,” Caroline agreed, and I cursed her beneath my breath. “Speaking of doctors, my grandpa has been having a medical issue lately, and I think you are the best person to help him out.”“If your wife doesn’t mind, he’d like to see you right now. Alone.” She added, glancing at me to gauge my reaction, and I instinctively reached for Henry’s hand, stopping him from moving.

Chapter: CHAPTER 2~Emily“Are you sure about attending the party?” Martha asked for the third time in maybe twenty minutes.I sat before the vanity in a sheer undergarment, applying simple makeup.“Yes, Martha,” I replied.She dropped the outfits I had picked out for the party on the bed and went silent for a moment.“You know,” she started carefully, as if scared of my reaction, “you can just stay back and rest and allow Sir Henry to attend the party alone.”If only she knew I had thought about that throughout the whole of last night, not wanting my request to attend the party to come off as insecure because Caroline would also be there.She had called Henry a couple of weeks back and invited him to her grandfather’s party, and honestly, I had been paranoid about it.“Going to the party with my husband is the only way I can be at rest, not staying at home,” I replied to Martha, earning a deep sigh from her.“I just…” She paused, sighing again. “I just have a bad feeling about it.”I turned away from t

Chapter: CHAPTER 1~EmilyBy the time the wine lost its chill, so had my patience. I traced a hand over my rounded stomach, smoothing down the silk for what felt like the hundredth time, trying to distract myself from the tight knot forming in my chest.The door let out a soft squeal, and I turned quickly, heart lifting before I could stop it.A disappointed sigh, mixed with a hint of frustration, left me. Again, it wasn’t Henry. Not my husband.Rather, this time, it was an elderly couple, holding each other’s hands and looking all lovey-dovey while chuckling at something I honestly did not care to know.I set down my glass harder than intended, causing bits of the wine to spill onto the crisp table cover, but I barely noticed the mess as my mind reeled.Did he forget our anniversary?“Maybe something came up at the hospital,” said a small voice at the back of my mind, causing me to scoff quietly as I found the excuse utterly absurd.What exactly could have been so important compared to our two-year ann

Chapter: CHAPTER 5~ChaseI threw the lacrosse ball and let out a low, frustrated groan when it hit the metal edge of the goalpost and flew off the field.Derrick, our goalkeeper, frowned at me as if he could already tell something was off with me, and honestly, he wasn’t wrong.I had been missing all my shots, which was unusual enough to annoy me because I barely missed strikes even during warmups, and I definitely didn’t go easy on anyone, including myself.Today, however, my focus kept slipping in a way I couldn’t fully control. My mind was constantly pulled elsewhere no matter how hard I tried to stay present. The frustrating part was that I already knew what was causing it, even though I kept trying to ignore it.Ryder had been restlessly pacing in my head as the memory of that drunk girl’s kiss kept resurfacing, and every time it did, it irritated me more than I could explain.There was absolutely no reason for the girl to be lingering in my thoughts the way she was because she was just a random s

Chapter: CHAPTER 4~EllieThe Nightfall party was in full swing, with music blasting from the speakers and shaking the room, or so I imagined.The air in here was nearly hot and carried the thick smell of beer and sweat as the neon lights swirled across the dance floor and cut through the shadows while I sat at the makeshift bar with my fifth glass of whiskey.Laughter rose again above the loud music from the guys playing some sort of game in the corner of the room, creating a good kind of chaos that drowned out the thoughts in my head.I could already feel a migraine forming, causing my head to feel heavy as I gulped down the glass of whiskey in one breath.I winced as it burned down my throat and numbed the pain in my chest for a few seconds.How badly I wished it could erase the pain forever and make me forget about Blake’s betrayal.I let out a small, painful laugh, knowing it was impossible. I hated that I was going to remember every damn thing tomorrow.“You’re still here?” Olive’s voice came from

Chapter: CHAPTER 3~ELLIE Arriving home, dread soaked into my nerves the moment I heard my father had summoned me.Stepping into the sitting room, my body stiffened as my father’s icy glare sliced through me. Sitting next to him was Luna Marie, and behind them stood Blake, arms crossed with a closed-off expression.Bella was lounging on the adjacent sofa, smirking.I wondered what she was gaining from all this, bringing the news to Father and Luna Marie, who looked like she could dump me into a sewer right now if she were given the opportunity.“Will you start talking, or do you want me to make you?” Father’s voice was falsely calm, but his eyes were filled with anger.“I-I…”I stuttered as I threw a glance at Blake. He tightened his face, his eyes holding a stern warning.“None of the stuff I wrote was true.” I swallowed hard as I spoke in a small voice. “Nothing like that happened between us.”“And you expect us to believe that?” Bella scoffed, interrupting our father. I could imagine being dead by n

Chapter: CHAPTER 2~ELLIEStepping out of Blake’s apartment, I saw Kristen leaning on her car, tapping her foot on the ground. She lifted her gaze from her phone and frowned at me, obviously expecting to see Blake.I hate to break it to her, but she would have to wait another twenty minutes or so. Blake was still in the shower, and he usually took a lot of time in there.I ignored Kristen’s subtle glares as I quietly walked past her like I didn’t see her standing there, looking like she would crack from the delay at any moment.Grateful she didn’t pour out her frustration on me, I let out a sigh of relief. I was used to expecting humiliation for no reason. Maybe I was just lucky today.Behind me, a car suddenly honked like gunshots. I skidded to the side, clutching my bag.I cursed in relief when I saw it was Olive, my crazy-ass friend, daughter of my father’s Gamma.She wound down the window, laughing like a crackhead. “The fuck were you thinking, girl?”“Not funny, Ollie.” I tried to keep a serious fa

Chapter: CHAPTER 1~ELLIE My head swam as pleasure built inside of me, making my eyes roll to the back of my head as I held onto Blake’s arms. My fingers dug into his flesh, causing red marks to bloom on his skin.“Eyes on me, El!” Blake grabbed my chin, forcing me to keep my eyes open. The intensity in his muddy brown eyes was fucking hot. It nearly undid me.He slowed down, edging me as he reached for the swollen buds on my perky breasts, fondling them between his fingers. “Tell me, El. Who owns these?”“You!” I gasped loudly, eyes half-open as I felt an achingly sweet sensation around my nipples.“Again!” He slammed harder into me, causing the bed to creak loudly under our weight.“You, Blake!” I clamped my hand over my mouth as I cried out in pleasure, scared someone might hear me even though we were the only ones in the house.Hearing his name mixed with my dirty moans unraveled Blake as expected. He released a rough, loud sound from the back of his throat, eyes locked on mine with heat.Blake’s j
