Georgia's POV.

For the past week, I had been trying to reach out to Michael after his text but he didn't return my calls, nor did he reply my texts.

I was starting to get worried, my chest tightened whenever I recalled the text about wanting to divorce.

I couldn't believe it, I didn't want to believe it.

We had sworn to be with each other to death separated us, and he hated the idea of break ups, talk more of a divorce so I struggled to wrap my head around the message.

I wanted answers, answers to the thousands of questions surging through my mind.

I had also tried calling Anna but she was also out of reach.

As I paced back and forth in the luxurious room I shared with Henry, I decided to dial her one more time.

The phone vibrated in my ears, as I silently prayed for it to get connected.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Anna's voice.

“Anna, oh my gosh. What happened? I've been trying to reach out to you but you weren't responding.” I immediately expressed my worry.

“I'm so sorry bestie, but so much has been going on here and I didn't want to bother you with it.” Her voice came, low and laced with fatigue.

I placed a palm on my temple as I took a seat on the bed, “Tell me everything.”

“Well, after he woke up, he asked about you. I told him everything just like we had planned but he seemed so mad. He wouldn't listen to what I had to say and he told me to stay away from him.” Anna suddenly stopped, like she was giving me time to swallow every word she said.

My heart sank as I listened to her, I struggled to keep the phone on my ear as my fingers became sweaty.

Then she continued, “I stayed away as he demanded, and few days later, I saw him with another woman. I'm sorry Georgia.”

“What?!” I blurted out, unable to contain my shock.

I took steady deep breaths, my chest rising slightly with ever drag of air but it didn't seem to help with my shattered heart.

I clutched at my chest tightly, trying to numb the pain but it only made it worse.

“I'm really sorry Georgia, I truly tried but…it's like he woke up from coma as a different person.” Anna added, adding to the pain.

“How…how could he? Why would he betray me like that?” I asked, my lips quivering as I struggled to keep my voice from cracking.

My eyes moistened with tears as the memories of his proposal, our wedding and our anniversary flooded my mind.

He promised to stand by me till forever so what changed?

I was literally fighting to save his life and he broke mine without thinking twice.

Why was it so easy for him to hurt me?

Did our relationship even mean anything to him?

This couldn't be.

We can't end like this.

“Anna, please tell me he hasn't moved on. I refuse to believe that,” I declared as I fought back the tears.

“I know, and I couldn't believe it too. But that's the truth, he's with someone else now. Please, try to move on too, there's no use crying over spilled milk.” Anna encouraged but her words only weakened me the more.

Each word felt like a stab at my chest, I found it difficult to breath.

My head throbbed with pain as I sobbed softly, not wanting Anna to hear me.

But she did.

“Georgia, this isn't the time to be weak. You have to be strong. So what if he betrayed you and cheated on you? It just shows how lowly he can be. Now it's time for you to fight back, show him you can live without him as well! You deserve better!” 

“But how do I move on? Anna, you know how much I loved him. I just can't believe he would do this to me.” 

A sigh from Anna followed my words, “I couldn't believe it too. He was really good at pretending, really good at making you think he cared about you. Now that his true colors have surfaced, forget about him. I'd advise you start something new with Henry.” 

“No, I can't. It's not a deal marriage remember? I don't even love him!” I said, my voice cracking into a whisper.

A low him was all I could hear from Anna, and her silence said a lot. She didn't know what else to say.

I gently wiped my tears, “But don't worry, he's not worth my time like you said. I'd try to get over him and I'd be strong.”

“Promise?” Anna asked, her voice ringing with hope.

I exhaled deeply, “Yes, I promise.”

“That's my girl! I love you. Now make sure to wipe those tears, and start looking like the queen that you are!” She cheered on and I could only smile, it still hurts me deeply.

“I love you too. I'll talk to you later,” I said, hanging up the call right after.

As I dropped the phone, my hands dug right into my head, pulling as hard as I could.

I wanted to forget everything.

I was feeling a mix of emotions–fear, guilt and disappointment.

Fear, because I didn't know how to move on from this.

Guilt, because I wondered if I was the problem at some point.

And disappointment, because it was so easy for him to move on from what he claimed was lifelong.

This was unbearable.

Loving Michael was peace but whatever I felt now was threatening to squeeze life out of me. I pressed a palm over my lips as I muffled the sounds of my sobs.

The air in the room suddenly felt stuffy, like I was suffocating. I wanted space, I wanted to breathe.

As I ros

e up from the bed, headed to leave the room for the garden.

I met the scrutinizing gaze of Henry's cousin.
