Don't Touch The Bride Chapter 99
Cheryl I got back home later than usual, mostly because I stayed late at work to make up for my earlier therapy appointment.“Hi, Cheryl,” Chris greeted, eyeing me with his usual mix of concern and observation.“Hi,” I returned softly.Chris being here meant Miles was home too. That was a little surprising—it was early for him to be back, especially since he’d missed a few days of work trying to patch things up with his cold, withdrawn wife.Me.But today I felt different. Not exactly happy, but lighter. Indifferent in a strange, calm way. The constant weight pressing on my chest for weeks seemed to lift just a little. I wasn’t angry. I wasn’t sad. I was just… normal. Normal enough to admit to myself that I missed my husband inside me. Missed his touch. Missed us.My session with the therapist helped more than I expected. Do I still mourn the idea of having children? Yes. And maybe, just maybe, I still blame Miles for that. But is that reason enough to keep living like this—emotional

Cheryl “Dear Cheryl,”I blinked hard, trying to fight back the tears that stung my eyes. I inhaled deeply and composed myself, bracing for the words that followed.**“It was never my intention to make you sad. I never wanted to hurt you. After Jenny, I accepted that no woman was going to agree to be with me once they found out I didn’t want to have children. It was something my father and I fought about constantly, a battle that strained our relationship more than anything else ever did. He eventually started trying to find me a wife—without my consent, by the way. When he found you, he basically threatened me into marrying you.I was furious. Furious that I had to go through all of it again. I was terrified that what happened with Jenny would happen again. So I looked into you. I read about your family—your history—and realized you were almost twenty years younger than me. You had a terrible past and I thought maybe… maybe we could help each other.I thought we’d both benefit. You c

Miles I turned on soft music as I got dressed for work. I don’t even like music—never have—but this particular song has described my life perfectly for the past three months. I’ve listened to it every day for the past two weeks, like it’s the only thing that understands me.Cheryl was getting ready for work too.I expected her to tease me—maybe say something about when I started liking music or how my taste in songs had suddenly become so corny. But she said nothing. She looked so uninterested, emotionally checked out, the same way she’d been for the past three months.I don’t know what else to do.I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix things, to bring her back to me. But she’s like a ghost now. She talks to me—but barely. She acts normal, but there’s this icy distance. And when I try to bring up the shots or ask if she’s mad or hurting, she just sighs and shuts down.It’s killing me.Did she really agree to stay in this marriage just to punish me forever?I combed my hair in t

Cheryl The doctor’s appointment was today—about a week after I agreed to start taking the shots. Chris was back, by the way. I had to apologize to him for jumping him like some desperate lunatic. He didn’t say much in return, just gave me that quiet, knowing look of someone who had seen too much. I skipped breakfast—I didn’t have the appetite for it. My stomach was a wreck, tied in anxious knots that made eating feel impossible.But it wasn’t the shots that had me so wound up.It was the pregnancy test. The part that came before. The part that could change everything.If it came back positive, I wouldn’t have to take the shot. I wouldn’t have to keep pretending. I’d have a reason to fight harder. A reason to stay. A reason that would make this pain feel worth something.God, just give me one child. Just one. I don’t care if it’s a girl, a boy, or even twins. Just let me be a mother. Let me have that.Don’t ask me why I agreed to the shots if I wanted it this badly. I can’t even expla

Cheryl It was a quiet breakfast this morning. It’s always been quiet lately, but today, for the first time in a while, we were having this quiet breakfast together—sitting across from each other at the same table. That hasn’t happened in a long time. Maybe because I haven’t been this… stable in a while.I wasn’t exactly happy. But I wasn’t crying either. I wasn’t spiraling. I was just… okay. Just here, doing my best to look a little normal. I’d taken the time to apply some concealer under my eyes, hide the tired circles from all the crying, to make myself appear like I was still functional.I texted Anna to let her know we’d still be having lunch together, as usual. But before that, I needed to stop by Miles’ office around 11 a.m.I cleared my throat and took a sip of my juice.“Are you free by 11?” I asked casually.He raised his head, looking around like he didn’t believe I was speaking to him.“Ahem, yeah,” he nodded slowly, as if still stunned.“One hour before lunch should be en

Cheryl Weeks of silence. Weeks of tears. Weeks of waking up with a lump in my throat, of falling asleep with my heart clenched. Weeks of hurting. Of hating. Of resenting. Of drowning in bitterness, frustration, and helplessness. I was living inside a marriage that was withering right in front of me, hanging by a thread I’d been asked to hold together—with my bare hands, bruised and trembling.A decision no one else could make for me. A choice that held the power to save or destroy what Miles and I had built.Heavy is the head that wears the crown, they say.Except this crown feels like a noose. Like something desperate to snap my neck and end this slow-burn agony.I’ve thought. I’ve rethought. Unthought. Tried to look at it from every angle. But every time I arrive at the same place, the same brutal truth: the fate of our marriage has been dumped at my feet, and I don’t even know if I’m standing on solid ground.I get to choose—between children or my husband.There are endless possib
