Cold Season Chapter 9
I was Sheila. I had a husband who adored me, and an adorable daughter. However, I was never particularly fond of her.We had been together for a decade and married for half of it. He had been devoted to me, a steady presence in our family, and he showered our daughter with love.He was, no doubt, a good man. If only I had been able to quiet the restless part of my heart, we might have lived a peaceful, picture-perfect life.Still, someone else had always lingered in my heart–my first love, Jeff.I was head over heels for him, and we nearly made it down the aisle. I just never thought he would bail on me on our wedding day.He had wanted to chase his dreams abroad. I wanted to go with him, but my parents were sick, and I could not just abandon them.When he had to choose between me and his big plans, he hesitated but eventually picked me. I was over the moon, thinking we would finally make it. However, on our wedding day, he backed out. He chose his future over me, leaving me behi

It was a truth too hard to swallow.Ella stood by the grave, pouring her heart out to my daughter. She confessed her love for me and how it extended to Chloe.

Cold Season Chapter 6
Dad gave my shoulder a squeeze, his voice all rough as he said, "Your mom and I found out. We saw it all over the Internet."I realized that they must have seen the mess I had made on TV. No wonder they knew.At the cemetery, Mom and Dad could not stop crying over the picture on the gravestone. Their little granddaughter, their pride and joy, was gone without even a last goodbye.I tried to comfort them, but inside, I was a wreck.Then, from behind us, came a heart-wrenching sob."Chloe, Mommy's here to see you."I spun, startled. There they were: Sheila, Natalie, and Jeff.They had been tailing me, it seemed.Sheila ignored me and lunged for the gravestone, her fingers tracing Chloe's picture as she sobbed. "Chloe, I'm so sorry. I'm too late."The sight made my blood boil. I wanted to shoo her away, but then I thought better of it. If Chloe could see us, she would not want me to turn her mom away.Natalie shuffled forward, crouching by Sheila, wiping away tears. "Chloe, gran

Once the media got hold of the story, it blew up.People online were all for my lawsuit, and Sheila and Jeff got slammed with hate.The web was loaded with people bashing them, calling Sheila a terrible mom, slamming her for cheating, and ripping into Jeff for messing with a married woman.I got my papers to sue Sheila.When the court date rolled around, Sheila looked like a shadow of herself, all worn out and skinny."Tristan, please, just let me see Chloe, I'm begging you."Sheila was on the floor, clutching my legs as if her life depended on it. Tears streamed down her face, her sobs so violent that she could barely breathe.I stared down at her, my heart a storm of fury and revulsion. Without a shred of pity, I shoved her off. "How can you show your face here after what you did? Remember the cruel words you spat out while blocking the ambulance?"The memory cranked up the volume of my voice. "You said we meant nothing to you because you had a 'patient' in your car. A patien

"Back then, I was barely hanging on to consciousness myself. I watched helplessly as precious seconds slipped away, unable to fully wake up. Because of Sheila, Chloe missed her chance at being saved. She was just five years old, and her mother's selfishness snuffed out her life."I barely got the words out before the crowd erupted into chaos, all eyes on Sheila, who stood rim-rod and looking lost.Out of nowhere, a kid's voice pierced the air. "Mom, I've seen that bride online! She was the one who stopped an ambulance. She's way out of line."Sheila scanned the room, feeling the weight of everyone's odd looks. With a lump in her throat, she shot back, "What are you even saying? My daughter's alive and well! Don't listen to him."Tears streamed down my face, my grief and rage uncontrollable.Seeing Sheila so unapologetic, without a shred of remorse, cut me deep. I was so disappointed in this woman I once loved with all my heart.I could not stop thinking about our daughter. If she
