Tamara.

I'm about closing from work on a calm Friday evening when my phone beeped with a text.

It was from Hilda, my aunt and my mom's only living family.

“Please come see your mom when you can Tammy, she misses you, I do too.”

My chest tightens as I read through her message. I have not been able to visit my mother in a really long time, just regular check up through phone calls and it has my heart in fierce guilt.

It was intentional, I was avoiding my own mother and I feel awful about it. She's my entire world but I sometimes can't turn off my emotions every time she brings Killian up.

I know she has no knowledge of what's been going on but I figured avoiding those questions was the best thing to do.

And now her birthday is in five days and I'm at lost on what to do.

Hazel's calmed words had come in handy but right now I'm not even sure it's working any more.

But I do know I needed to breathe, so I did.

Feeling much calmer, I typed back a response.

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 102 Burning with hatred

    Tamara.My door jerks open and there she is.Chloe.I knew she'd come.I prepared for it.I don't even wait for Clara to complain before waving her off.She nods and leaves.“Why are you here Chloe?”She ignores me.“You sent those photos, didn't you?” She spits out as she advances.I lean back into my chair and arch my brows. “What photos?”I see her fist clench, then she points a finger at me. “Don't play dumb with me,”I laugh to put her off her guard a little. “I guess I'm more resourceful than you think,” I say in a lazy tone.She pauses, eyes on me, face tight, so tight it could crack.“You think that's going to change anything?” Her brows lifts, waiting, maybe for a confirmation.I shrug. “I don't know, you tell me,”She glares at me. “It changes nothing. Those are mere photos. You're not fooling anyone,”I narrow my eyes at her. “If you're so sure of that, then why are you here?”She steps closer, placing both hands on my desk and leaning in, her face inches from mine.“No one

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 101 Trouble wrapped in chaos

    Chloe.Everything is going as planned.Killian's oddly sweet but that's a change I accept with all my heart.Good thing he's not suspecting anything.When he called while I was trailing him. I was all fidgety and full of nerves.I thought he sussed that out but he didn't.He's inviting me to dinner tonight, to make up to me he had said.But I don't see it that way.This is a date.He doesn't have to call it that for me to get it.I do, unprovoked.Because you know why?I've waited, patiently.It's finally getting to my time.Sure endlessly waiting on someone hurts, but when it's for a man like Killian, it doesn't hurt as much.I really cannot wait to have him all to myself.I want us together forever and not even that slimy bitch of a wife can stop me.No one will.A knock comes to the door.My secretary walks in.I look up, anger licking my spine. “Didn't I ask not to be disturbed?” I snarl.“You did ma'am,” she says with a shaky voice. “But this parcel came in for you with a descrip

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 100 Can't do life without her

    Killian.If anything could shut mom up, this is it.She blinks like she didn't expect me or anyone else to find out.Maybe not yet.But I don't get it.This hatred mom has carried for Tamara and her family. She keeps throwing insults around but never says the actual thing.Mom's eyes are burning holes in my face now. I see a mix of anger– maybe hurt shining brightly in her eyes.But she doesn't say anything, didn't even breathe a word.Jayna looks between me and mom, confusion lining her face. “What photo?”Mom looks away.Jayna turns to me.I say nothing.“Mom?” Jayna's voice is tight now. “What's Killian talking about?”That's when mom simply says. “It's nothing. He's kidding, just leave it be,”I don't let her words derail me.My anger won't let me. I take another step closer. “Am I?” I say, voice firm. “You were in that photo with Caroline, smiling. It's not nothing. Tamara saw it,”She turns to me in an instant. “And you believe that….her?”“Why shouldn't I?” I scoff.“Because sh

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 99 Calling a spade

    Killian.I say I suck at pretense.But maybe I'm doing just fine.Or not.Mom's butler bows to us and opens the door.When we step in, it surprises me to see Chloe at the table, talking to Mom.Her acting all good bugs me, but I know I can't fumble right now.So, I paste a smile on my face as we neared the table.Chloe spots me first and flashes a smile as she says. “Killian. You're here,”Her eyes moved to Jayna and she looks away briskly.I smile back despite my stomach twisting hard.Mom turns in my direction and her smile spreads even wider. “Oh honey. There you are, come join us, we were just talking about you,”I nod and tilt my head to face Jayna. “Be nice,”“I am,” she whispers back through literal clenched teeth.I take a much needed breath and head to a seat, one near Chloe.It irks me to.But if I need all tracks covered, then I have to play it cool.There's different dishes spread across the table.Mom turns to me as the maid dishes out the food.“How are you son?” she ask

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 98 A loose canon

    Tamara.“That girl's a real bitch. What!!!?” Hazel breathed out, twisting in her chair as she stared at the photos.I was right. I was being trailed.These are series of pictures, from different angles, me at work, at the hospital, like literally every fucking where.It kinda scares me, the length Chloe's willing to go to achieve whatever it is.But no.She's just a loose canon, looking to feast on someone else's sadness.I lean back into the couch, a smirk forming at the corner of my lips.It's time I play this little game with her.Hazel shoots me a look, eyes narrowing in on me.“I think it's time I send her a gift. Watch her run around a little,”Her eyes shifts to the photos, measuring.I nod.Her brows lifts, a smile forming. “No way,”“Yes way,”Hazel laughs, then she tilts her head like she's mulling over it. “How do you intend to do it?”“It's simple. I’d have it couriered to her,”“No trace?”“No nothing,”Yeaah. She'd live off guessing, wondering.It's a bait, to lure her o

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 97 Too late to regret

    Killian.These past two days has been chaotic.I don't even know how to feel about what went down.My head is a mess.It's hard to bury this anger.Hard to focus on anything, not even work.But pretence?That's not my strong suit. Every single day I watch Sylvia walk in and out of the office with a smile and it taunts me.I could get her arrested, force a confession out of her.But— I can't.That'd be impulsive.Knowing what I know now, that'd be too impulsive. It just can't work that way.The worse feeling is knowing I wronged my wife, the guilt keeps pooling low in my gut.I look at Tamara and all I can think of is, what if I had listened?What if I had trusted her, believed her?I just — destroyed the beautiful life we had and that'd forever haunt me.Right now, I can't say anything, not yet.But I can make up for the lost time, I intend to.I don't even know how long this whole act is going to last for. But I know an easier way out.Matteo.The ginger haired guy that showed up cla
