IRIS

All day, all I kept hearing was Maverick’s warning—no, his pleas—for me not to leave the house.

I kept trying to make sense of it, kept trying to rationalize why Maverick would say something like that, kept wondering why the hell he was at the hospital to see my mother.

Kept wondering about the note…

The note that I was very sure was a suicide note that my mother had been hoping that I would find after she tried to kill herself.

God, I didn’t even want to go into that right now.

But Maverick said it was fine. That he was going to tell me everything after work.

After work seemed like a very long time to wait, but I had a few ideas to keep myself busy.

I had no idea what was going on, and to be honest, the major thing keeping me here was the fact that I couldn’t leave Chelsea and Amy alone. Tania had come to work in the morning, but she left due to some family emergency. Nothing too serious, she’d said.

That had made me feel guilty for some reason.

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Revenge is Mine!   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY: GOODBYE

    IRIS I froze on the spot, unable to take a step forward or say anything.She wasn’t supposed to be here, but the door was open, and my yelling must’ve woken her up.Once again I let my emotions lead me into something I wasn’t ready to handle.Chelsea’s voice was small. Too small. Like if she made it louder, then she’d be accepting that it was real. That she hadn’t heard wrong, and our mother really was dead.She was just ten years old. She didn’t deserve this.“Chels,” I whispered, taking a step forward.Chelsea stepped back, breaking into a run in the direction of her room, and my heart sank. I felt Maverick’s touch on my shoulder, and I wanted to sink into it. Into him. But I couldn’t.Because there was a huge possibility that my husband’s father killed my mother, and he was trying to keep the truth from me.“You need my help with her?” Maverick’s voice was soft as he asked.I shook my head, not turning back as I shrugged his hand off my shoulder. “I got her.”I didn’t wait for him

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Revenge is Mine!   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-NINE: MY MOM IS DEAD?

    IRIS I didn’t know why I was expecting Maverick to say something else. Something other than the fact that she’d actually tried to kill herself.Maybe because it wouldn’t make me feel like a complete asshole for hating her. But she did. She tried to kill herself, and failed. Only for her to give up the ghost in the hospital less than three days later.Rhoda Blake… dead?That seemed like such a foreign word.I remembered how as a child I used to wish that she’d just drop dead, and as a teenager, I used to imagine using a knife from the kitchen to stab her in the stomach.That was how deep my hatred for her went. She didn’t deserve to live, but she did. And she showed herself, came back. And I wanted to say I wished that she hadn’t.But then, I would never have known that I had a little sister.The same little sister who lay beside me now. I was in Chelsea’s room, sitting in her bed, watching as she slept soundly, snoring lightly in her sleep.Amy was just a few feet away in her crib.

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Revenge is Mine!   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHT: I NEED TO BE ALONE

    MAVERICK I caught Iris right before she hit the floor.Her body was weightless in my arms, but the weight of what had just happened crushed me all the same. Her skin was cold, her breath shaky, brows pulled together, eyes unfocused as she looked at me. Iris didn't cry or say a word. She just… sank. Like her soul had just unplugged and drifted off without asking for permission.“Iris,” I whispered, pressing my lips to her temple. “I’m here. I’ve got you. I’ve got you,” I said all over and over.This was not how I expected things to go. Rhoda was completely fine last night. She may have been sedated, but she was okay.Something about this entire thing was wrong. A heart attack, they’d said when I got to the hospital, but I knew that it wasn’t.Bullshit. That’s what it was.A neat, polished excuse to cover up the fact that someone had walked into that hospital and ended her life. This was a silent, calculated murder that they were now calling a heart attack.Owens had been the one to

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Revenge is Mine!   ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX: BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP

    THIRD PERSON POVRhoda Blake couldn’t sleep.Something felt wrong. The silence in the hospital was too eerie, too abnormal. Her nurse was supposed to give her her night medication over an hour ago, but she hadn’t showed.She was tired. Too tired to stand up. Too weak to move.She blinked up at the ceiling, her body weak under the scratchy hospital blankets. The ache in her wrist had dulled, but barely. It was still there, serving as a reminder that she’d tried to leave and failed. That she was still here. Still breathing. Still burdened with everything that she never said.But deep down, she knew she wasn’t safe. That she’d failed to do what she was supposed to do, and now, there would be repercussions.She didn’t want to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Chelsea, her baby, and Iris… the woman she’d failed constantly.The monitor beeped quietly beside her in a steady rhythm and she listened to the sound of her own heartbeat.And then, she heard it.The sound of the door s

  • Dear Ex-Husband, Revenge is Mine!   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIVE: STAY INSIDE

    IRIS I didn’t move after Maverick left me and walked into the bathroom.Didn’t say anything, didn’t shout or yell or follow him with another argument even though I wanted to. So badly. I just stood there, feeling all the anger slowly start to simmer into something much worse—hurt.I sat on the edge of the bed as I tried to breathe through the tightness in my chest. My arms were folded tight around my stomach as if I could physically hold myself together.I wasn’t sure how long I sat there or how long Maverick spent in the bathroom, but I’d just started to stand up and leave when I saw it.A crumpled piece of paper. Just lying on the floor near the side of the bed where Maverick had been standing. It must’ve fallen out of his pocket when he pulled my phone out to give to me.I didn’t hesitate to bend down to pick it up, hoping that it at least contained some kind of hint, even though it was probably wishful thinking.Before I even completely unfolded it, I recognized the handwriting.
