Four days later

I am currently sitting in Mark’s garden, and there’s something eerie about the way the wind blows. I wrap my arm around myself, staring at the sky.

It’s been four days since I left home, and there has not been a single call, or text from Rowan.

Even if I leave forever, I doubt if he’ll notice. Part of me had expected, no, prayed that he was going to notice my absence, and ask me to come home. But there was nothing.

The past four days have been a blur of shadows and sad moments. I almost gave up on my plan to leave Rowan.

Every day, I wear an oversized hoodie and watch my family from afar. Sometimes, I stay a street away from my parents’ house, watching from a distance. My mother still waters the flowers every morning. My father still reads the paper on the porch.

Ordinary routines, painfully familiar. He retired from the hospital after my wedding, to spend more time with his wife. I watched as he wrapped his arms around my mother's waist and kissed her fore

  • Chasing My Runaway Wife   Failed duty

    ROWANChristine’s pregnancy had become my most important concern. The late-night craving, early morning sickness, and doctor’s visit are just constant reminders that I’m about to be a father. During this period, I can't help but think about Sloane. As much as I love Christine, I know, deep down, that I have a duty to fulfill towards Sloane. Sloane and I are supposed to have dinner with my grandfather today, but I’m stuck at the hospital with Christine. I’m sure grandpa would understand that my child comes first. “Sir, the baby is healthy, but you need to take constant care of the mother, because her blood pressure is a little bit high.” The doctor says, and I look at Christine. I hold her hand tenderly and place a kiss on her stomach.“I’ll make sure of it doctor.” The doctor nods slowly, before leaving the room. “Baby, you’re already late for your dinner. We’ve been here since the afternoon, and I don't want your grandpa to get me mad at me. I’ll go home with the driver.” Christin

  • Chasing My Runaway Wife   Blue EYES..

    ROWANSince Sloane forced her way into my life, chaos has followed. My calmness and patience were thrown out the window immediately she stepped into my life. She’s not the sweet Sloane I used to know. She’s infuriating, too stubborn to bend, too proud to step aside, always challenging me in ways no one else dares. When Grandpa reminded me about the marriage, I was hoping she would reject me, because there was no way she’d have held on to the promise I made years ago.That period was the most disheartening time of my life, and I have forced myself to forget about everything that happened. I had planned to propose to Christine that week and introduce her to grandpa, but when he told me Sloane agreed to the marriage, all my plans were shattered. When Sloane returned, I felt like she brought up the past that I tried so hard to bury, feelings I don’t want to uncover. I’m not that little boy again. I agreed to the marriage just to fulfill the promise I made to grandpa. He is very fond of

  • Chasing My Runaway Wife   The family Heirloom..

    SloaneI walk into my room, and I feel like a stranger. I rummage through my closet and take what I am looking for. I remove it from the box and caress it softly. I stand in front of the mirror, place it around my neck, and stare at it. The family heirloom. The necklace his grandfather gave me. I am finally letting it go, because it will be selfish of me to keep this. The one possession that I have always cherished.It belongs to her, not me. I put it back in the box, before heading to his room. I know Rowan is not at home, not like he has been here since our wedding. He doesn’t care about what happened today. He thinks I hurt the mother of his child on purpose. I gently put the necklace on his nightstand, and take off my ring. It represents my marriage, my love, my dream, and his betrayal. What is the essence of holding onto it when it clearly doesn’t belong to me? Although I’ve held onto it for years, the harsh reality is that I was taking care of it for Christine. Why should I w

  • Chasing My Runaway Wife   You shouldn’t have done this Rowan…

    Sloane I don’t know where I am running to, but all I know is that I have to leave. I can’t continue with this anymore. He yelled at me because of her. He humiliated me and stripped me of every ounce of love I had left, until all that remained was anger and hatred. I walk to a nearby beach and sit. I let the waves hit my leg, and the ocean breeze kiss my skin. There is peace on the horizon, yet an eerie ache lingers, as if the sea knows how love can both heal and annihilate. Flashback “Mummy?”He said weakly, opening his eyes. Dad already told me that he saved this little boy’s life, but his parents died in the accident. I felt bad for him, which is why I’ve been visiting him for the past three days, praying for him to wake up. “You’re awake.” I rushed to his side, trying not to startle him. “Who are you?” He moved away from me, struggling to adjust to the light. “My name is Sloane, you are in my daddy’s hospital,” I explained to him briefly. “Okay, where are my Mummy

  • Chasing My Runaway Wife   I’m sorry grandpa

    SLOANEI couldn’t sleep throughout the night. Christine’s words kept ringing in my ear. As usual, Rowan didn’t come home. I freshen up quickly and eat my breakfast before going to work. It’s been almost a month since I took my leave of absence, and I’m a little bit nervous; at the same time, I’m happy because I’ll be able to distract myself from the drama in my life. The hospital corridors buzz with the usual crowd, footsteps echoing, voices of doctors giving instructions, and nurses trying to calm patients down. I don’t miss the look some nurses give me when I enter. But I assume it’s about the wedding.“If it isn’t my favorite Intern,” Mark says as he approaches me and gives me a cup of coffee. “You’re the only one that looks good in a scrub.” He teases further. “Mark,” I hit him on his arm playfully. “You need to stop flirting with me, I’m married.” I show off my ring, and an emotion flickers in his eyes, but he quickly masks it before I can recognize it.“Ouch. You wound me, swee
