Lydia was not a slow woman, but she took her time to process Autumn’s words, and when she did, the anger in her expression morphed to shock and later amusement. She burst out laughing.

Autumn wasn’t startled. She stood, watched, and waited for the comeback she knew was coming.

  • Dear Ex-Husband, It's too late   An ignored husband

    Lydia was not a slow woman, but she took her time to process Autumn’s words, and when she did, the anger in her expression morphed to shock and later amusement. She burst out laughing.Autumn wasn’t startled. She stood, watched, and waited for the comeback she knew was coming.“I thought you were an idle and jobless woman, but I didn’t know you were a comedian too." Lydia wiped the corner of her eyes. “If anyone else had said they didn’t care for Ethan, then I would have believed them, but not the woman who didn’t think twice before marrying a man who didn’t love her."“It wasn’t like I begged to marry Ethan.” Autumn replied simply, “Gerald practically begged me to marry Ethan."The room fell into silence, and Lydia’s smirk disappeared as though it had never been there.“What did you just say?” she snarled, her eyes narrowing.Autumn shrugged. “Just a clarification,” She answered.Nobody spoke for a moment, and the maids close by shifted uncomfortably.Naomi looked from Autumn to Lydi

    Autumn’s hand remained on her stomach the entire ride back to the Grants' mansion. Heavens know she was terrified out of her mind, but she was hopeful. Sated even.Sophia couldn’t stop smiling. “The little one is going to be so lucky to have you for a mother,” she cooed with a hushed whisper so the driver couldn’t hear what they were saying, and the smile on Autumn’s face widened.“I hope so. I want to give them everything. I want to protect them from all the bad things in the world, and they haven’t been born yet. Is this even normal?” Autumn turned to Sophia with a mix of fear, awe, and curiosity.Sophia nodded, placing a gentle hand over Autumn’s. “And it will only get worse as your baby grows, but you don’t need to be scared. It’s a beautiful experience."Autumn leaned back and closed her eyes. Her thoughts wandered far to a dreamland that could only exist in fantasy.Her standing on the balcony of Ethan’s bedroom. A smile on her face with Ethan on his knees before her, kissing he

    Autumn followed Kani down the hallway and stole a glance back just before they turned the corner. Cal was about to turn the corner as well.Leo noticed her looking and waved at her with a wide beam. Gone was the small boy who was crying earlier. Autumn waved back before disappearing round the corner. “You’re great with kids” Kani complimented, an unreadable expression on his face. Autumn smiled gently “Really? I’ve never been around kids often so it’s kind of surprising to hear you say that” Kani looked like he wanted to say something but shook his head and pushed the door to her private room open.“Mrs Grant!” Sophia exclaimed as soon as they entered. She hurried towards Autumn with a worried expression on her face. “Where did you go? I was sick with worry” Autumn shook her head and touch Sophia’s shoulders gently, “I was literally down the hallway, Sophia. I didn’t get lost or kidnapped.” She joked but Sophia didn’t share her amusement.“You are still so weak. What if you had c

    Cal Hendrick heard his son’s cries all the way from the end of the hallway as he talked to his business partner on the phone.“Can I call you back? There is something important I have to attend to,” he had told the man on the other end of the line who agreed immediately.Cal knew Leo was deathly scared of hospitals, and he regretted leaving the boy with the nurse in the first place.He hastened his steps back to the room.“Daddy!” Leo had cried out in relief, but Cal stopped at the door when he noticed someone was carrying Leo. The boy never let anyone except Cal touch him.When the woman turned and her eyes widened a fraction, Cal was even more stunned to see who it was.“Leo?” he asked with a frown, looking between Autumn Grant and his son, who had his arms wrapped tightly around her.“Daddy, look,” He pointed at Autumn with a wide smile and dried tears on his cheeks. “I found Mummy!" he yelled.Autumn wished the ground would open up and swallow her as soon as those words left the l

    The sound of a phone buzzing made Lydia open her eyes with a soft groan. Out of instinct, her eyes went to the other side of the bed, and without meaning to, she let out a soft sigh of relief when she saw her husband, Austin Myres, still on the bed.In that quiet moment, it felt like everything was perfect as it used to. Lydia didn’t know when it all started to fall apart.The phone buzzed again, pulling her attention from her husband to the device vibrating on the nightstand.She sat up, pushing her hair back and grabbed the device before sliding it to answer when she saw her mother’s name glowing on the screen.“Mom, it’s very early." She groaned into the phone.“Early?” Alisa’s bitter voice startled her and had her straightening. “Autumn didn’t think it was too early before she ruined our mood today. Do you even know what that woman’s people did to your mother?”Lydia was already swinging her legs off the bed. “What happened?”Austin rolled over as soon as he heard his mother-in-la

    Alisa Grant climbed down the stairs with a wicked glint in her eyes. She had been awake for hours, unable to sleep. Her thoughts were constantly filled with Autumn’s new attitude.Alisa had always prided herself on her ability to control her home, especially Autumn, so now that she seemed to be slipping from her grasp, she couldn’t handle it.Her phone chimed in her hand with a message from the jeweler, reminding her that the custom-made set she ordered had arrived.Alisa could have decided on having it delivered to the house like she did sometimes, but she didn’t.After all, what were daughters-in-law for if they couldn’t go to the other part of town to fetch their mothers-in-law's custom orders and make sure they arrived in perfect condition?Alisa met a maid cleaning the living room. She eyed the dining area where Autumn should be having breakfast and frowned when she noticed that nobody was there.“Where is Autumn?” she demanded with a harsh voice, making the maid jump.“I haven’t

    The door closed with a soft click behind Autumn, and she had to fight the urge to slide to the floor. Her body trembled with a mix of rage and hurt. Ethan’s words echoed painfully in her head. He didn’t think it mattered that Alisa had moved her out of their room. “Why are you acting like us liv

    Autumn’s stomach rumbled loudly, and she rolled onto her back with a groan. She had been sketching for three days now with little to no breaks.Naomi had been in the Grant’s mansion for three days, which meant Lydia and Alisa were spending all their time catering to her instead of bullying Autumn.

    Autumn woke up to the sound of footsteps in the hallways. It took a full minute for her to process why the ceilings were lower, and the lavender smell she loved was absent from the sheets. Her design notebook was still opened on the bed, and she was still wearing the red dress from last night. Wit
