Bound by Madness The Baby
I shake my head.It’s been 20 minutes since the doctor left but they won’t let me leave my bed and they won’t bring me my baby.“He can’t be dead!” I scream at Tom who sits beside me, holding my arm with his eyes closed.“He had trouble breathing.” Tom whispers.“He was breathing in my arms!” I scream. “He was okay when he was in my arms!”This was it. This would be the straw that broke the camels back. This will be the thing that truly destroyed me. I can feel it.“I had him—” I cry.Tom doesn’t know what to say and so he sits in silence and says nothing. Time seems to stand still until his lawyer walks in holding a folder. He takes it, signs it, and then gives it to me.By this time my eyes had run out of tears but they were still crusted and burning.I take the forms and blink at the key word I’ve been waiting to see “divorce.”My hand shakes. Did he think this would make me feel better about our child? The void just feels empty. Endless.I take the form and sign it. I don’t read t
Bound by Madness Birth of the Heir
Tom sits with his head in his hands and his elbows propped up on the long table. Despite this, he keeps his eyes on the screen as Victor goes through more and more evidence of his and April’s affair, their plot to steal my child, and my unjust imprisonment at the mental institution.“Chloe—” Tom says when Victor ends another section. I look at him with as much indifference as I can manage, “None… I didn’t do any of this. I d-didn’t know.”“I told you.” I say in a cool voice.“You didn’t—”“If the roles had been reversed, I would’ve noticed something was wrong.” I decide because it feels harder to argue with.Tears start to slowly fall from his eyes as his voice breaks, “Chlo—I was trying to protect you.”Victor interrupts, “let’s move to division of property. My clients is only asking for the apartment—”After the meeting I walk out and break fresh air for what feels like the first time in years. Anna offers to bring me to my car but I ask to walk alone. I want to enjoy the sun filled

Bound by Madness Evidence
CHLOE’S POVI watch Tom’s face as Victor reads and presents the conversations with April. It’s a mix of horror and disbelief. It is gratifying to watch.At least he now gets to know how it feels to be betrayed by the person you loved and trusted most.“May 28th – we have the airline records and receipts from your trip to Bali—” Victor says.“I went there for business.” There’s venom in Tom’s voice when he says this.“These are the messages shared by Miss. Sunday to my client. My client had been institutionalized at the time and wasn’t able to respond.” Victor showed the online messages with April lounging in a bikini against Tom who was laying with sunglasses on in his swim trunks with no shirt. “The message attached says : we hope you’re enjoying all the needles and tests. Next time don’t get in our way – then there’s a winky emoji.”Tom reaches to take the photo but Victor pulls it back too quick and leaves it on the table before picking up another, “May 30th – Tommy feels bad that
Bound by Madness The Meeting
TOM’S POV“Did you get what I asked for?” Tom asked Hendrix as Hendrix drove them towards the company.Tom needed to grab a contract for a business dinner later that night. After picking it up, he’d meet Chloe for the first time since the vacation house. Anna’s fiancé, Victor, was hosting the meeting at his office.Tom didn’t mind them having the home-field-advantage. He couldn’t imagine what they could have to use against him.Tom was flicking through his phone when Hendrix answered, “I did sir. It’s in the bag.”Tom nodded. He grabbed the bag and pulled out the velvety silk covered bracelet box. He opened it and paused.“Why is this green?” He asked.Hendrix looked into the rear-view mirror, “you asked for something Mrs. Hayden would like. She likes green.”“She likes pink.” Tom said, somewhat annoyed, “and she doesn’t like daisy’s. What’s with this design?”Hendrix hesitated. April liked the green and she liked the daisy’s. Isn’t that who he intended to gift this to?“If I give thi

I shift. I try to sit up but he holds me down and pulls me closer.“I don’t like when you run away from me,” he breathes.“How did you get in here?” How did he know where I was?“Have you been eating?” He ignores my question. His hand lowers to my stomach.Again, I try to break free of his grasp. I have to shake harder but I finally manage and sit up. I turn on the side table light and turn back to look at him.He lounges beside me, rubbing his eyes a little at the sudden light. He shakes his head and looks up at me.“What are you doing here?” I ask in a hard voice. I try, but fail, to control the panic starting to seize my body.“I missed you,” He let the hand still resting on my stomach lightly play with the fabric covering my body. “I know you don’t like hospitals. I’m not mad.”His voice remains unexpectedly smooth.How can he be this calm? I ran away with another man. He should be…A new thought takes over my mind. I look around the room as if there may be answers as I ask, “wher

I never thought I’d be happy to see April.She sees Anna, me, and Tom standing in the living room. She pauses, but then her smile broadens.“Oh, do we have guests?” She hands the shopping bags to Harry and Liam while Hendrix walks in behind her holding grocery bags.“Where would you like this, ma’a

Meanwhile, Tom had changed into pajamas. He was trying not to wake up Chloe as he crawled into bed behind her. He put a hand on her hip to pull her closer and hug her but she suddenly rolled and kicked him – hard – in the stomach.He choked out a breath from the impact and loudly groaned.“It’s me—

Tom’s POVIt was around 1am when he finally felt caught up enough to call it a night. He rubbed his tired eyes and groaned. His eyes had gone blurry from staring at the small text from his documents and computer. His optometrist had instructed he use warm compresses and special eye drops regularly,

They stare at me, wide eyed and in disbelief.Surely they can’t believe I’ve said this. I quickly lean forward, my voice low, “you can’t tell anyone. Please. I’m only telling you to explain—”“And open relationship?!” Hailey gasps in disgust and horror. “Whose idea was that?!”“Hail,” Carson puts a
