I stood at the edge of the shore with a cigarette in between my lips.

I took a slow drag and for that second, the waves felt still. Just the way I liked it.

“Still pretending like nothing ever happened?” A voice came from behind me.

It was very familiar. I didn’t turn to look immediately.

I exhaled slowly and dropped the cigarette. I stepped on it, letting it sink into the sand, then I looked over my shoulder.

  • After Divorce, I Chose Sins   Chapter 7: Noah

    I stood at the edge of the shore with a cigarette in between my lips.I took a slow drag and for that second, the waves felt still. Just the way I liked it.“Still pretending like nothing ever happened?” A voice came from behind me.It was very familiar. I didn’t turn to look immediately.I exhaled slowly and dropped the cigarette. I stepped on it, letting it sink into the sand, then I looked over my shoulder.He stood a few steps away with his hands in his pocket, standing in a relaxed position.“Travis,” I said.He tilted his head slightly before giving a non-humorous smile.“Long time no see, brother,”I faced him fully now.He looked… different. Far from what I remembered.He didn’t look innocent anymore. His sleeves were covered in tattoos. His face looked… sharper and rougher. And the tenderness that used to be in his eyes had been replaced with darkness.“Time has really passed by,”A quiet scoff escaped his lips. “For you maybe.”There was no need to respond to that. So I just

  • After Divorce, I Chose Sins   Chapter 6: Ashley

    My heart dropped into my stomach.Oh my God.I totally forgot about my birthday today. I didn’t even think of it.Stella rushed out with a cake.“Happy birthday Ash!”I didn’t move. My body had turned stiff due to the excitement.People around me started clapping and cheering. I didn’t recognize most of them but I was pretty sure I spotted the gardner.I dragged my eyes back to Stella, holding up the shower in my eyes.“Make a wish, sister,” Stella moved closer to me.I smiled sheepishly before I closed my eyes, wished and blew out my candles.“Yay!” I dropped the cake on the nearest table and pulled my sister in for a tight embrace.I bit back a cry.For the past few years, I hadn’t celebrated my birthday. Not because it wasn’t important, but because it brings back memories I fought away.“Thank you,” I sniffed as she let me go.“Hey, it’s okay. Please don’t cry, it’s your special day.”I shut my eyes. “I’m fine,” I opened them. “I’m just so happy you went all out for me.”“It’s not

    “Mo-mommy?” My ten-year-old self trembled as I walked towards my mother.“Yes my love.” She replied as she mixed the batter faster than before.I blinked.She crouched to reach my eye level. “Are you okay?” She smiled.My fingers tightened around the paper before I slowly brought out my hand.I stretched it to her.“Ash,” mom’s voice softened. “What’s this?” She collected the paper from me and turned it so she could get a proper view of it.Her cheeks burned furiously.“You drew this?” She shifted her gaze to me. Then pulled me in for a hug.“I love it, baby.” She let hold of me and looked me deep in the eyes.I had drawn her on paper long before I came to show her but I was too shy and afraid of her reaction.A smile crept in on my lips too.Suddenly, a loud bang came from the living room.Mom threw herself up immediately. She took off her apron and dusted flour off her dress.My heart thudded.She kissed me on my forehead, “Stay here,”Then she walked past me to the living room.An

    Ashley's POV“50 million dollars?” Stella and I exclaimed.“Shh, girls, and yes. Your father’s will states that you both inherit $50m.” Uncle Wilbur said.“Oh my gosh.” I paced around the kitchen.“We’re rich!” Stella screamed in happiness.“Stella!” Uncle Wilbur and I whined.“I know, I’m sorry. I’ll be quiet.” She whispered.This was such good news and I should be really happy. But I was really worried and curious.Why now? My father owned a thriving oil and gas company, Ignite Resources. It was very popular and had many international collaborations. We were billionaires.Everything was going so well, till it wasn’t.My father wanted an heir to take over the company, but my mom birthed two girls instead, Stella and I. They tried over and over again, but to no avail. Dad started getting impatient and became abusive.Mom would wake up with bruises, every mistake equals beatings but never tried to defend herself because she was much smaller than him. She didn’t do anything to protect

    Noah's POVMy blood was still boiling as I drove.She slapped me.The sound of it replayed in my head like it was stuck on repeat. Stella’s hand across my face. The look in her eyes. Like I was dirt. Like I was nothing.I gripped the steering wheel harder.Ashley collapsing on the sidewalk replayed in my mind too. Her body laid against the concrete, her pale face. For one second, I thought she was dead, and at that moment, it felt like the problem had been completely eliminated.I should’ve left her on the floor.I shook my head.I just wanted to take a normal night out, not this chaos I walked into.What was I even thinking…taking someone I just divorced to the hospital? A pulse throbbed on my forehead.Hold yourself together, Noah.There’s nothing wrong with me. She caused all of this herself. Ever since that goddamn tape, followed by the scandal and the mess it caused. I told myself the fact again and again.She wanted to ruin me so bad, she risked her image too. Thank goodness sh

  • After Divorce, I Chose Sins   Chapter 2: Ashley

    Ashley's POVThe bright light above almost blinded me.Where was I? Was I dead? Did I make it to heaven?My vision wasn’t clear yet but I heard beeping sounds. Then, I caught the smell of drugs and antiseptics.I was in the hospital.I struggled to sit up to get a clearer view. But someone was holding my hand.I traced the veiny hands and it was…Noah.But he was asleep.A sharp pain throbbed in my chest, sharper than ever.Divorce. Cheating. Baby.It kept replaying my head and every image felt like a dagger in my chest.I yanked my hands out of his and he woke up.“What are you doing here?” I said, trying to get out of the bed that felt like I was taped to.“Wait wait…let me help so you don’t hurt yourself. Just stay calm.” He said with a husky voice and gently sat me up as I wanted.“Thank you.” I said quietly and he stood up.“Tell me, why are you here?” I finally said.“I was going out for a walk and I saw you collapsed on the sidewalk. I couldn’t leave you there so I brought you t
