Tamara.

After my fight with Killian last night, I had tossed my phone away and sink into the bed, letting myself drift off into a dreamless sleep.

My alarm beeps, again.

I remember stretching and stopping it at intervals.

My eyes flutter open. I reach to the side of the bed, fingers grazing the edge until I find my phone. I bring it up, swipe the screen, my eyes widens.

Shit.

My phone is a graveyard of unread messages and missed calls — Hazel, Alex, Hilda, and my mom.

Hazel must've been calling to know how my day went, same goes to my mom.

I run a hand through my hair, firing out a message to everyone of them.

This would do, otherwise I'd be late for a meeting.

I put my phone back down and drag myself out of bed, and beelined to the bathroom.

I zip down my dress. Yeah, I slept in those. It falls in a pool at my feet. Grabbing my favorite bath oils, I run a nice warm bath and eased myself into it, letting out a sigh.

Last night had really taken everything out of me. I could have gone f

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 113 The storm that lingers

    Killian.Now it makes so much sense.Greg was mom's first love. She didn't move on, she settled.He was a lot like him, same appearance, same hair color, same body build up.I wasn't wrong when I said mom married the Greg she could have.She seems devastated, shocked but I'm past caring.“Dad had a DNA test done,” I say to back up my claim. “So no, we aren't half sibling. I'll get another one done to prove to Tamara that we're not,”Mom stiffen, I see shock but there's something else, relief, guilt?She looks up slowly. “She's still not the right fit, Killian. She tried to kill you, how could you forgive that?”I hesitate.She continues. “And how sure are you the baby's yours? I mean, she did try to run off with a man, you can't trust a woman like that,”I take a step closer and lean toward her desk, my eyes locked on hers. “That’s where you're getting it all wrong mom. Tamara never did any of that shit. She was framed, I know who did it,” I say and trail off. “And unlike you she does

    Killian.I don't think I can see beyond the cloud of rage in front of my eyes.I slam the car door shut, and march into the building.Mom's secretary opens her mouth to perhaps greet me but something about my expression shuts her up.I walk past her. I don't even bother knocking, I pull the door open and stride in.Mom raises her head the second she sees me.She has company, she waves him off and as soon as he left, I turn to her.“What the hell did you tell Tamara?” My anger is overflowing and it shows in my voice.For one, I expected resistance, a comeback but it doesn't come.Mom's face fell, just a little. “Why do you think I said anything?”I eye her. “You still think now's the time for back and forth?”“You lied to me, Killian. You got your friends to trick me to that hospital. You knew what Caroline did, how could you?”I stiffen, my anger boiling. “I wanted you to heal, to move on. How else am I supposed to get you there?”“Move on?” She repeats. “I've moved on, Killian. I want

    Tamara.Killian looks hella confused, hurt.But he leaves, and only when the door finally closes behind him did I finally breathe.I lay still, my hand resting on my bump. Hazel nears with a confused expression, but she swallows it fast.“How are you feeling?” She asks, her voice etched with concern.“Better,” I managed but that's not true.I'm far from better, my mind's a mess.My heart nearly jumped out of my chest when I heard that.I don't know what to do, how to confront this, and the thought of the possibility that Katrina might not be bluffing is eating me up alive.There's a big chance that we might — actually be half sibling.I'm married to this man, carrying his baby. We've been…I shut my eyes.I couldn't even stop my tears, couldn't even hide my fear.This is all too much. I can't handle it.I feel like I'm choking on something, like I need to get away from all this.Like I need a break, to run off where there's no drama and figure out what to do next.There's mom, Hilda,

    Killian.I give Seb a look, noticing how off he seemed. “Are you— okay?”He nods.“That's not very believable,”He turns to meet my gaze, then he shrugs, running a hand through his hair. “Well…I'm not very okay but I figured is not nice to talk to you about it in this state,”I tilt my head, and lift my brows. “Try me,” I breathed out. “Just shoot,”There's a moment of silence.“You remember the lady I talked about?”“The married one?”He nods. “Yeah, that one.” He admits, his hand moving over his face. “I— I kind of kissed her and then she ran off—,”My brows rose. “You kissed someone else's wife?”Seb puffs out a breath. “That’s because I'm certain she wants out.” I narrow my eyes at him.He shrugs. “Fine, maybe I went a little overboard but that jerk doesn't deserve her, he beats her up, abuses her and when I found out, I sent my men to deal with the bastard, then Melanie wouldn't speak to me, now I can't find her,”My eyes lingers on him. Seb seems frustrated, not himself at all,

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 109 Two heartbeats

    Killian.“How the hell did that happen?” I breathed out, voice tight, nerves pulsing.I've never been this scared all my life.My phone is on speaker, balanced in the console tray. Seb sounds like he doesn't get it himself.“I don't know man. I told her I was leaving, told her to hang around the doorway. I'd like to think she heard something,”My breath hitches. I don't know what to think and what not.Heard something?What could that possibly be?It has to be something.My throat goes dry, the thought of Tamara being on a hospital bed breaks my heart.It's starting to get hard to breathe.I didn't think this would end this way. I just wanted them to talk things out, how could that lead to Tamara being unconscious?I blow out a breath through my nose, gripping the wheel tighter. “How's she now?”“The doctor isn't out yet,”“And mom?”“She left.”There's a brief pause.“She— she was shocked. She didn't know Tamara’s pregnant?”“No. Didn't want her bugging her,”“That explains it. She l

  • Divorce? Never Letting Go!   Chapter 108 Hit where it hurts

    Tamara.I stepped out of mom's room and head out to get us coffee.I'm halfway there when my phone dings with a text.I pull it out.It's from Killian.“My mom will be at the hospital in a bit. Seb's there to handle the formalities.”I blink.He didn't say much, and I wonder how he was able to pull that off within a short period of time.Did he…?I type a message back to him.Tamara: Does she know she's meeting with my mom?Killian: No. I kinda staged an accident. Mom will be there.My brows rose.Tamara: You think that'd work?I mean. Katrina would walk out of that room the second she sees mom, that's for sure.Killian: I'm certain it would.I shut my eyes. I really hope it does. I can't wait for Mom to get past this phase and come home.She's been so weak lately and everyday it feels like it's getting worse.She has not been responding well to treatment and it scares me.I don't want to lose my mom. I wait to take the coffee and when I do, I linger a bit before walking back to mom'
