The name hangs in the air long after she says it.
Corbin.
It settles into my chest like something heavy and unwelcome, pressing against my ribs until breathing feels like work.
I close the laptop slowly, deliberately, placing it on the table beside me. The soft click echoes louder than it should.
Greta senses it first. Of course she does. Her pen stills mid-air, her gaze flicking between the both of us like she’s watching a storm rol

Beyond Rejection. Outside Her Door
LeviI do not think I will ever forget the sound of her voice in that room.It stays with me long after everything else fades, long after the doctors begin speaking in calmer tones and Greta finally allows herself to breathe without urgency. It stays even when the child cries for the first time, even when the nurses move efficiently around us, even when the worst of it is over.I stand there through all of it, and yet I feel like I am nowhere at all.I have been in control of my life for as long as I can remember. Every decision I have made, every path I have taken, every risk I have accepted has always been calculated. Even when things went wrong, I knew how to respond. I knew how to adjust.But there is nothing calculated about this.There is nothing controlled about watching her lie on that bed, her body trembling under the weight of pain she never asked f
Beyond Rejection. Early Delivery
AnastasiaEverything after the pain becomes a blur, but not the kind that fades. It is the kind that burns itself into memory, sharp and unrelenting.One moment, I am in his arms, struggling to breathe through the crushing pressure in my abdomen, and the next, I am being carried down the stairs while Greta rushes ahead of us, already issuing instructions in a voice that brooks no argument.I clutch at his shirt, not because I want to, but because my body refuses to let go. The fabric twists in my fists as another wave of pain tears through me, and this time I cannot hold it back. A cry rips out of my throat, loud and raw, echoing through the house in a way that makes everything feel too real.“It’s too early,” I whisper, even though I know neither of them needs to hear it again.“I know,” Greta replies quickly, her tone firm but not unkind. “Just focus on breathing. We are getting you to the hospital.”
Beyond Rejection. Contractions?
AnastasiaI don’t stay.If I stay, I will say something worse.Something I won’t be able to take back.So I turn.And I walk.Not fast enough to look like I’m running, not slow enough to invite him to stop me.My dignity is hanging by a thread, and I hold onto it with everything I have left.Behind me, I hear Greta call my name.I ignore her.I hear his chair scrape.That, I don’t ignore.Of course he’s coming.Of course he won’t let it end like that.My hand curls into a fist as I reach the stairs.“Purrey.”I don’t stop.The nerve.After everything—after that—he still has the audacity to call me like nothing is wrong.My feet hit the stairs harder than necessary.One step.Two.Three—“Anastasia.”I freeze.Damn
Beyond Rejection. Corbin
LeviThe name hangs in the air long after she says it.Corbin.It settles into my chest like something heavy and unwelcome, pressing against my ribs until breathing feels like work.I close the laptop slowly, deliberately, placing it on the table beside me. The soft click echoes louder than it should.Greta senses it first. Of course she does. Her pen stills mid-air, her gaze flicking between the both of us like she’s watching a storm roll in.“Ana…” she starts carefully, “that’s… a strong name.”Ana nods, calm. Too calm. “It is.”That’s it. No hesitation. No explanation.My patience snaps.“Corbin?” I repeat, my voice low, controlled, but there’s an edge to it I don’t bother hiding.For the first time tonight, she looks at me.Not fully. Just enough.“Yes, Crosswalk. Corbin.”
Beyond Rejection. Child Names
LeviTwo weeks to delivery.The number sits at the back of my mind like a ticking clock I cannot silence. It follows me into meetings, lingers in the margins of documents, breathes down my neck even when I try to bury myself in work.Two weeks.The house has changed. Not in structure. Not in routine. But in something quieter. Something heavier.Silence has settled into the walls.Not the peaceful kind. Not the kind that comes with comfort. This one is sharp. Deliberate. Built from unsaid words and stubborn pride.She barely speaks to me now.Correction. She speaks, but never to me.“Greta, can you pass me the water?”“Greta, I don’t want soup.”“Greta, open the windows.”Never once does she look in my direction when she says those things. Never once does she acknowledge my presence, even when I’m standing right there.At first, I th
Beyond Rejection. Silence
LeviThe house feels unnaturally quiet as I make my way through the halls. My phone buzzed a few minutes ago—Greta’s message was terse, almost panicked. “Sir… Ana hasn’t left her room all day. She barely ate anything. She refuses to come down. I don’t know what else to do.”I run a hand through my hair, swallowing hard. Normally, she’s disciplined, stubborn, but predictable. Now, she’s retreating, isolating herself—and I know why. I’ve seen it before: a woman cornered, furious, heartbroken, trying not to fall apart in front of me.I reach the study first, intending to check for anything she might have left behind or dropped. My eyes immediately catch what’s scattered across the polished floor. Papers. An envelope.My chest tightens as I kneel to pick them up. The embossed crest of my father’s stationary makes my stomach sink before I even open the envelope. My hands tremble sli

Beyond Rejection. Late Night Talk
AnastasiaI rush to the bedroom upstairs, desperate to put enough distance between myself and them.My dignity is the only thing that keeps me from running. As soon as I get to the room, I close the door and lean against it.It was her. The same Athelia that had hated me so much.I thought she was
Beyond Rejection. Two Against One
LeviShe walks away without a word.But, not before I saw it - the hurt in her eyes. It flashed briefly before she masked it.Athelia rises from her perch on the high seat.Her face is tight. “You didn’t tell me you had a woman staying here.” Her voice is as cold as ice.The mood of the evening is
