Davy’s eyes moved over me slowly, lingering as though he were committing every detail to memory. The intensity of his gaze made my mouth dry, heat pooling low in my belly.

“Davy,” I sighed, wishing he would say something, anything, to break the spell he had wrapped around me with nothing but a look.

He didn’t. And I had never been one to shy away from attention. With a face like mine, it came easily. This time, I welcomed it, straightening my shoulders and standing taller.

  • Dear Husband, I Want this Marriage no More   Chapter 27

    Aaron’s POVParis was a dream, one I wished to relive every day, but fashion week was over, and I was thrown into my life again. Work wasn’t just hectic; it was suffocating.I had meetings stacked on meetings, deals slipping through my fingers, and somewhere in the middle of it all was Kim.I promised it wasn’t my fault; I would never try to push Kim away, but I had a strict code when it comes to work: never let emotions interfere with business.But Kim wasn’t just interfering anymore. She was becoming the reason I checked my phone every five minutes.So I did the only thing I knew how to do.I pulled away.It was cowardice, ignoring her after the wonderful time we had in Paris, but I had promised once I was through with the contact, I would reach out to her. But the gap had only widened; seeking her was a task so daunting it made me relent.But I was justified.The success of Fashion Week had catapulted her to new heights, and she was everywhere. Kim was on every channel, every scree

  • Dear Husband, I Want this Marriage no More   Chapter 26

    Touching down in New York was a quiet affair, but I wasn’t ready to face anyone. I was high, a front I used to bury my emotions in, and thankfully for that.Even though I could feel Jamie’s disappointed gaze, I had failed to care. Instead, I inhaled the pungent air so peculiar to New York, and I exhaled, a little snake on my lips.It was good to be back home.I was whisked into the car before I could even get a bit of fresh air, and the car began to move towards the direction I hoped was my house.“Kim?” Jamie called, his face set in a perpetual state of disappointment. It was becoming annoying now, but I had pretended it was his neutral face, and I was going to go with that.“What?” I snapped, rolling my eyes. Yes, it had happened. Yes, I fucked up, but can they give me a fucking break?I was only human; I was bound to make mistakes.“We are going to need a formal statement so we can begin the process of clearing your name, so I will be calling the lawyer. I would give you some momen

    “Kim?” Jamie suddenly called, looking from his phone, but I was frozen, made rigid just from the anger coursing through me. “Kim?” He called again, his voice laced with worry, and I finally turned my head towards him.Whatever he saw must have been enough to spook him because his eyes widened, concern and dare I say fear swirling in them. “What is wrong?” I shoved the phone towards him, and he squinted as his eyes moved, trying to make sense of it. “Who is that?”“Martin?” I said simply.“The one who caused everything?”“The same one.”“Oh perfect.” He said with the enthusiasm of a lazy cat. “Why is he calling you?”“I literally have no idea. I just got the call.”“Hold on, we need to track it.” He said, and he was on his phone again, but the ringing had stopped, and I was left staring at a dark screen.“He will call again, I am sure, and we will be ready.” Jamie said it with such confidence, but I have nothing inside me to share the same enthusiasm.However, I nodded, relaxing on the

    Chaos, disaster, damnation. That was all I could describe my life to be right now.I had crumpled to the floor, too overwhelmed by everything that was happening to me.Why me? Why now? Why this moment when everything was getting aligned, when I had gotten to the height of my career? I was about to shoot for Vogue. How would they even consider me again?Everyone knew that there was no coming back from a sexual harassment scandal, especially in the context of rape.“Why?” I cried out whilst trying to ignore the stream of notifications that had been pouring out.I closed my eyes, trying to sleep; maybe I could escape from this illusion or wake up from this horrid dream, but it plagued me even from closed lids.The fact that he had chosen to lie and not only that, but also taken pictures without my consent, should have been enough to raise eyebrows, but because I was a celebrity, of course, my human rights were nonexistent.I released a shaky breath, refusing to cry. It was worthless shed

  • Dear Husband, I Want this Marriage no More   Chapter 23

    The incessant notifications and calls blaring so loudly in my ears were getting on my nerves, but that was what I got for being with someone like Aaron, who seemed to have the whole world on his shoulders. I groaned, turning to the other side and curling like a ball, wishing to be free from it, but the noise followed me, chasing me even in sleep. The vibration was so much that I could no longer bear it, so I just had to speak out. “Aaron, I am trying to sleep.” I complained, and it seems to have worked as the noise stopped. I inhaled deeply, tucking my hands under my pillow as I tried to find a comfortable position, but the notifications were still coming, one after the other like a long string of chains. The constant buzzing grated on my nerves, and irritation quickly took over. “Fucking turn it off or get out, okay? I am trying to sleep here,” I snapped, forcing my eyes to open as I was snatched from sleep. However, the sight that greeted me was quite different from the one I ha

    In a bid to forget about Aaron, Martin had become my new plaything, much to the dislike of Anna. I had concluded she was only irritated because she was away from Hale, and watching me with Martin didn’t help. However, she was too proud to admit it, too damn stubborn to call him, and no matter how I tried to intervene, she was set in her ways, so I just let it be. Hale would most likely be coming here anytime soon, so I had to enjoy what the island had to offer. And speaking of enjoyment, Martin was not exactly bad; he was a sport to be with, and we have been talking regularly. On this day, I woke up earlier than usual, trying to tie up loose ends at work. I had a video call with Jamie; I had to give him a raw picture of my face as he was actively monitoring it for any breakout or blemish. Then I began sorting through mail, passing some to Jamie for an appropriate response. After which, I scheduled most of what I needed to post and even managed to film a bit of the travel blog

    Anna’s POVThe world was dulled all around me, like I was submerged inside a pool of water with no way of escape.It was a weird, otherworldly feeling, like my body was detached from my soul and I remained suspended in this strange state of limbo.Time ceased to exist here, and I roamed about, at a

    Davy’s POVThere were so many ways I had imagined today would turn out to be. It had been peaceful; we had discharged most of our patients, and only a few remained, and right now, I wanted nothing more than a much-needed rest.I was prepared to retire to the call room or even the office when I pass

    “Rules?” His brows quirked up, and he stared at me, confusion swirling in his eyes, but his resolve pushed through, and he nodded. “Alright, let me hear it.”“Don’t push me.” I snapped annoyedly, and he gave me a sheepish smile.Sorry.”I sat up fully, gathering the sheets around me as I thought of

    Anna’s POVI hated crying. It was an unnecessary expression of emotions that had no business showing itself there. It took so much energy, leaving you with a runny nose and even a headache.Yet it was one of my favorite forms of expression, but not by choice. And right now, I sobbed, pounding on Da
