Don't Touch The Bride Chapter 110
CherylI was staying at a hotel, barely even myself anymore, a shadow of the woman I used to be—clinging desperately to this stupid, useless hope that Miles would suddenly realize his mistake, come to his senses, come back to me, and look for me.But nothing.Laura kept trying to reach me, but I wasn’t taking her calls. I didn’t even know where my phone was anymore. It didn’t matter. Everything felt meaningless. Anna must be worried sick too because I stopped going to work; I stopped showing up for anything.Miles told me through his lawyer that I could keep my job, that I could have some money he set aside for me—but I didn’t want it. I told the lawyer I didn’t want any of it, not a single cent, and I cut off the call.I was sick.So sick.My body was always hot, feverish, but at the same time I’d shiver, feeling cold too often. Every time I forced something down my throat it would sit like lukewarm poison in my belly. It’s crazy how badly it can hurt—physically hurt—when you miss so

CherylThe house was dead quiet.I must have finally dozed off out of pure exhaustion because the ache in my eyes told me I’d been crying before sleep dragged me under.A faint sound woke me—a door creaking open, slow and careful, like someone didn’t want to be heard.I froze, heart pounding against my ribs. My lids felt heavy as I peeled them open. The dim light from the hallway spilled into the room, and in that soft glow I saw him.Miles.He was standing near the wardrobe, his broad back to me, pulling out a few shirts and a duffel bag like a thief sneaking out in the middle of the night.I pushed the blanket aside. “Miles?” My voice was hoarse from crying.He stiffened. Didn’t turn. Just kept folding a jacket, his movements too controlled, too cold.“Miles,” I whispered again, sitting up on the bed, my bare feet touching the cold floor.“Go back to sleep,” he said flatly, finally glancing at me. His eyes were dark, emotionless, but underneath it, I could see the cracks—hurt and ra

Cheryl“Cheryl,” Minnie whispered in my ear, her voice soft but carrying concern.I blinked tiredly, turning my head toward her. She was standing there holding a small cup of water and some pills in her hand—headache pills, most likely—because my head had been pounding for hours. I hadn’t slept properly in days, not really.“Thank you,” I muttered, my voice hoarse, taking the pills and water from her.“Not on an empty stomach, Cheryl,” Laura’s voice came from behind her.I sighed heavily, feeling the weight in my chest pressing deeper. “I can’t eat anything,” I admitted, closing my fingers around the pills and setting the water aside on the nightstand.“Why? Because of Miles?” Laura’s tone rose slightly, not unkind but firm. “It’s been five days, Cheryl. Five whole days. Miles is my son, but he is an idiot for treating you like this—or even asking you to take those shots in the first place. And you are not going to die waiting for him, Cheryl.”Her words cut through me, but I shook my

Cheryl“Hey,” I whispered, staring at Miles as he finally stirred awake. I was honestly surprised to see him up this early. He’d barely had two hours of sleep; he kept tossing and turning, shifting under the sheets, reaching out to touch me throughout the night.It’s a really tough time for him, and I understand.I was packing up our things because we were leaving the family house tomorrow, heading back home. Maybe, just maybe, Miles would finally get a few days of real rest before throwing himself back into work.“Good morning… thank you,” he murmured, his voice still rough from sleep as he noticed everything I’d already packed and arranged.“It’s okay, baby. You should go back to sleep if you’re still tired. I can take care of everything,” I said softly, folding one of his shirts.He leaned in and kissed my cheek, that tired smile barely there.“It’s okay, baby. I’m not sleeping great anyway, so I might as well get up,” he replied, pushing himself to his feet and heading toward the

MilesBurial.It all feels so quick.So sudden, and it still feels unbelievably strange.I had really hoped my dad and I would get enough time to work out our differences, to become friends again. But here we are—life throwing at us one of its greatest weaknesses: uncertainty.It feels surreal, like a bad dream I’m waiting to wake up from, like some cruel lie I’m waiting for someone to tell me isn’t true. And yet, our last conversation had been about me having children. Again and again, over and over, the same fight, the same argument.I suppose I should be happy—I’m finally free. No one is forcing me to get married anymore or bugging me with the talk of having children soon. But somehow I feel bad, I feel worse that he never got the only thing he wanted from me. Kids.I was too disassociated to interact with anyone. Truthfully, I was also avoiding my mom. I just don’t think I’m ready to talk about what happened with her.So after the burial, I went upstairs to our room in the family

Cheryl My heart was pounding hard and fast.It was all so sudden.Anthony’s accident—and being pronounced dead—all in the space of barely four hours. I needed to get to Miles fast. Who knows what he must be feeling right now?I know they’ve had plenty of fights over the years, maybe almost half his life, but Anthony means so much to Miles, and Miles to him.Not to mention that they saw each other last night and talked about whatever they talked about. It’s overwhelming and painfully sad. The news spread so quickly, so many calls coming in, especially from Miles’ family and friends. They kept saying he wasn’t taking their calls or letting anyone see him at the office.Oh God.My poor boy.He must be so broken.I don’t have parents who ever truly wanted me or any kind of healthy relationship with them, so I can never fully understand or relate to what Miles is feeling or what is going through his mind right now.Anthony was my father‑in‑law, and I liked him.He was always kind to me, f
