“We still can’t find anything wrong with your body Chris, coming here everyday wouldn’t change that” the doctor said exasperated“He confessed that I was truly poisoned, please check properly. I don’t want to die” I said with tears in my eyes. “Yes Doctor, help my friend. Please” Aria followed suit The doctor was quiet for some time and then he said “like I said during your last visit, I know someone and he’s the best doctor I know. He works for the Dark Howlers pack, but I can contact him on your behalf but just so you know, it’ll cost you a lot” “I don’t think money should be a problem, I just want to live,” I said resolutely. “Alright, I’ll get back to you then” the doctor finished. A few minutes later we left the check up room. “Chris, how long have you been poisoned?” Aria asked “I don’t know for sure, 3 months, maybe 4.” I replied. “Chris” Kelvin stood at the other end of the hospital hallway, Sophie beside him and Vivian following a few steps back. Sophie had her hand

I called Aria, it barely even rang before she answered “Where are you? I can’t find you in your room. I’ve been trying to reach you since last night” she shouted through the phone. I had to take the phone away from my ear in consideration of my eardrum. “What do you mean? I asked baffled “I’m in the room you told the worker to take me to” “No you’re not!!” Aria spat “I’m currently in the room I paid for you and you’re nowhere in sight. I’ve been worried sick trying to get hold of you since last night-“ she rambled on.Before she could continue I interrupted “What do you mean? I’m in the room the worker brought me to, unless!!” I let out a soft gasp “They took you to another room”“They took me to another room” We said in unison. “Calm down first, go check your room door and tell me the number, I’ll come find you” Aria said I could hear movement, she was on her way across her room in seconds and before I knew it I heard her door swing open. “On it” I said as I picked up my shi

How could they say that to me? My family disowned me, I had nowhere to go. When I came to live with them I had nothing in my name, everything I own or use now was given to me by Kelvin. And for the 3 years we lived together I didn’t work, he wouldn’t let me. I have no money on me, how was I supposed to leave? To where?. I was a stay at home husband, doing chores and taking care of his mom and himself.I served them day and night, I was at their every beck and call. And now they wanted me to leave without any belongings? How were they going to compensate me for the work and effort I had put into this relationship?“But I don’t have any money on me” I started but Kelvin cut me off “ I don’t care, just leave” And with that the three of them walked out. Then the tears started rolling down in waves, I fell to my knees and cried. A few minutes later I sat on the entrance slab outside the Cain mansion with my bag pack. Inside it were just my undies and a tooth brush. I had called my

My fiancé whom I had given up everything for, had been cheating on me with his assistant for months now. Not only that, he also poisoned me. He didn’t even have the balls to tell me to my face and would rather erase me from the face of the earth. My heart pounded in my chest, this was a lot to take in. He never had any plans to marry me, I was just a convenience, a fantasy fulfillment. A pawn in their sick game. All I had given up for him for nothing. In his eyes, I was just there to satisfy him when he wanted and to be tossed aside when he didn’t. “Let’s stop talking about him and enjoy ourselves, he’s old news” I heard kelvin say before the unmistakable sounds of kissing and caress wafted through the door. The next minute I turned the door knob and entered the room, eyes red. Kelvin froze mid kiss and looked up at me. I expected shock, regret, guilt, shame but I saw none of those in his eyes. He looked at me with disgust, like I was the one caught doing something horrible.

“Go home now , I have a surprise for you” from an unknown number.I stared at my phone for a long minute wondering who possibly could have a “surprise” for me. Then it hit me, of course. It could only be one person. A giddy smile crept up to my face as I re-read the text over and over again. Kelvin Cain, my fiancé , has always been full of surprises, it was one of the reasons I fell for him in the first place. I locked my phone and let my thumb rest against the dark screen, looking up at the blue sky, my smile refusing to fade. “Surprise”.The word alone was enough to send my mind wandering back to the last time Kelvin had said something similar, low against my ear, after a fight that had nearly broken us apart. I still remember it, clear as day, that particular argument had me rethinking my life choices. Asking if it was even worth it, the most unnecessary fight had become our biggest battle.We hadn’t spoken for days and that day he came back under a heavy downpour. I was in
