A Love Let Go, A Past Forgotten Chapter 8
Sweat beaded on Yale's forehead as he struggled with the ring, but he didn't dare force it over my knuckle. Instead, he kept fumbling with it, repeating himself in a panic."No, Zoey, that's not it. My hand just slipped. Let me adjust it. It'll fit, I promise! Just give me a second!"I pulled my hand away before he could try again. The ring, slick with sweat, slipped from his fingers and hit the floor with a sharp metallic clink."I'd waited for nine years, Yale."My voice was steady as I looked at him."I've loved you since college. I waited for you all through graduation, and I kept waiting even as other couples our age got married and started families. Do you know what I was waiting for?"Before he could answer, I cut him off."I was waiting for you to finally turn around and see me. Just me. Not bring Willa along everywhere, compare us, and make me feel like I wasn't worth anything."I was waiting for you to notice how much I'd changed, to realize I'd gotten even thinner than Willa
A Love Let Go, A Past Forgotten Chapter 7
Ignoring Willa's tears and protests, Yale cleared every trace of her from the house. He threw her out along with all her belongings and even deleted her fingerprint from the door lock.As he removed her access, he heard the personalized welcome message.When he'd first registered Willa's fingerprint, he'd only wanted to make it easier for Zoey's best friend to visit. He'd never imagined Willa would use that small gesture to pursue her own agenda.He couldn't bear to think how Zoey must have felt if she'd heard that message, especially when he'd never given her anything more than a key to their home.He'd made sure Willa could get in with a fingerprint, yet hadn't even bothered to do the same for Zoey.Regret gnawed at him, sharpening his voice as he warned Willa."I trusted you because you were Zoey's best friend, and you took advantage of that. From now on, stay away from me. If I ever see you again, I'll make sure your workplace gets a full account of how you tried to break up someon

Yale floored the gas pedal and sped home, desperate to pack his things and book the next flight to find Zoey.He wasn't expecting her to forgive him. He just wanted a chance to explain everything, to make her understand that she'd always been the only woman in his heart.Zoey was the only one he'd ever loved!Yet the moment he stepped into the master bedroom, the sight before him made him stumble backward in shock.The room, once nearly empty, was now crammed with another woman's belongings. Willa's heels, handbags, and makeup were neatly arranged throughout the space, as though the bedroom had belonged to her all along.There was even someone lying beneath the covers.Willa."Yale, you're back!" she called playfully from the spot on the bed that had once been Zoey's. "So? Did you and Zoey get your marriage certificate?"Despite her cheerful tone, there was a trace of nervousness and curiosity in her eyes.In the past, Yale would have simply assumed she was exhausted and needed somewhe

"That's impossible!" Yale blurted out, unable to believe what he'd just heard. "We agreed to get our marriage certificate today! Why would Zoey take an overseas assignment, especially one that lasts five years?"His disbelief quickly turned to anger."You're lying to me, aren't you? Zoey's right there with you, isn't she? Tell her that if she doesn't show up within the hour, she can forget about us ever getting married!"His furious outburst was met with a long silence. After a moment, Megan finally asked the question she'd been holding back."Did you really make those plans with Zoey?"Yale froze. "What's that supposed to mean?"She drew a deep breath, as though she was finally ready to get everything off her chest."I'm asking whether you actually discussed any of this with Zoey, or whether you and that two-faced Willa just decided everything yourselves. Did you even bother asking if Zoey was free that day? Whether she wanted to marry you?"Yale's expression shifted, but he stubbornl

In the end, the ambulance Yale promised never came.Even as I slipped into unconsciousness, I'd clung to the hope that he might at least have the decency to call one, if only so I'd still be around to apologize to Willa.He hadn't.When I woke in the middle of the night, I was still lying on the floor, the blood around me long since dried. Somehow, I managed to drag myself up and call a cab to the hospital.As the ER doctor tended to my wound, he sighed."You're a grown woman. It's about time you found yourself a boyfriend. Otherwise, when something happens in the middle of the night, you're stuck dealing with it all alone. You should've seen the guy who came in earlier tonight. His girlfriend had menstrual cramps, and he carried her all the way to the operating table in his arms. He even threatened our careers if anything happened to her!"I forced a faint smile but said nothing.What he didn't know was that I had a boyfriend. We'd even been on the verge of getting married.My fiancé
A Love Let Go, A Past Forgotten Chapter 3
Back at the home Yale and I were supposed to share after our wedding, I opened the suitcase beside the bed and began packing. We'd only moved in a month ago, so there wasn't much to take. Once I'd thrown away the ring box I'd kept hidden for nine years, there was even less.I'd just closed my suitcase when an electronic voice rang out from the front door."Lady Lawson has arrived! Everybody, make way!"A gust of salty sea air swept inside, and I stared in surprise as Willa pushed the door open."Zoey, why'd you come back early without telling us? Yale and I waited forever for you at the beach!"Ignoring her reproachful look, I kept my eyes fixed on the door."How did you get in?""Yale registered my fingerprint on the very first day! Did you hear my special welcome message? Pretty awesome, right?"I nodded, a bitter taste filling my mouth.In the month since we'd moved in, Yale had given me nothing but a key. Whenever I forgot to bring it, I had no choice but to wait until he got off w
