Derek’s POV:

“Derek!” Anna exclaimed and rushed into my arms the moment I stepped into her private hospital room. I caught her and kept her an arms length away from me. She didn’t look like someone who had just attempted a suicide. Her hair was done perfectly and she had makeup on. Save for the hospital gown and the bandages on her wrists, I would have thought she was fine.

“Anna, what in gods name are you trying to do!”

Her eyes went big and she gasped. “Trying to do? What do you mean?”

“You tried to kill yourself?!” I yelled. I couldn’t fathom why on earth she would do such a thing. I grabbed her wrists and shoved them in her face. They were covered with thick white bandages, and I grimaced thinking about her dragging a blade across them. “What is this? You want to send you parents to an early grave?”

Her bottom lip wobbled and a tear rolled down her face. “You’re so mean to me, Derek, we weren’t always like this.”

  • Ex-husband's regret, chasing his cold wife   16: cold-hearted

    Sally’s POV:Various scenes from my life played behind my eyes like a movie. Deep down I could hear an annoying persistent noise, but I couldn’t place where it was from. The air around me felt cold and had a strange smell in the air. What was it? My brain was too muddled to figure it out.The first scene was an office. I recognized it, the office of Mr Stanford, the owner of the dance trope I was a member of before I joined Unicorn. He smiled at me, his eyes leering and practically undressing me where I stood.“Yes, Miss Xavier. I can help you out. How much did you say you needed?” he’d said, stroking his pitiful excuse for a beard.“Five hundred thousand dollars,” I said with a shaky tone. “I promise to pay back, I just…”He had grabbed my arm, his eyes that of a dog that had seen a fresh piece of meat. I wanted to hurl and run away. “There is other way you can repay me, Miss Xavier,”Ah, I see.My memories. They’re playing in a feedback in my head. Are these my last seven minutes? D

    Sally's POV:“Mr and Mrs. Armani, what is matter?” Derek asked calmly.Mrs. Armani tried to speak but ended up bursting into tears. Mr. Armani calmly stepped forward, one arm around her shoulders. “Please, you have to go and see Anna. Talk to her, anything you can do…it will be much appreciated. Anna just…she just tried to kill herself. She slit her own wrist… gods it was terrible. If we hadn’t found her in time and rushed her here, she would have died. She kept saying your name, over and over again. I beg of you, please see her.”Mr. Armani sounded so pained, and I wanted to feel sorry for him. But the mention of Anna’s name made my heart twist and a bad taste settle in my mouth. I subconsciously pushed myself closer to Derek and squeezed his hand. He turned to me, and a part of my heart splintered. I could see the crack in his face, the hesitation. Why is he hesitant? He should tell them that he’s busy right now. He’s with his wife about to see a doctor because of their baby.Sudden

    Sally’s POV:“argh!” I nearly lost my grip on the steering wheel. I grit my teeth hard as I felt a pain in my lower stomach. At first it was a light jab, like I had eaten something my body didn’t agree with. Through my windshield I could see the rain slicked road, the heavens still had refused to let the rain stop. The pain started to get worse, to the point where I couldn’t ignore it.Suddenly a sharp pain exploded in my abdomen, like a hot dagger pressed into my flesh. I grabbed my stomach, and I could swear I felt the life inside me pulse into my hand.A chill filled my bones, cold and sharp. I forced myself to focus on the road ahead, even as my hands on the steering started to tremble. I grabbed on harder till my knuckles turned white. Each stab of pain felt like it was draining my strength. My eyes drifted and my arms nearly relaxed at my sides with how heavy they were getting.Keep your eyes on the road, Sally. I chanted it to myself like a mantra.Something is wrong with my b

    Derek's POV:I watched Sally drive off, her taillights flashing in the rain. "Damn it." I cursed under my breath. This was so messed up right now! I immediately got into my car and started the engine. Suddenly the car door was pulled open. "Derek!" Anna cried. "Stop please!""What is it?" I asked impatiently. In the rearview mirror Sally's car had vanished down the road. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ruin your relationship with Sally," Anna said in a trembling voice. "I was...I was just too sad and I drank a little too much and ruined everything."I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. "Anna it's okay. But make me mistake, this is the last time something like this will happen. "She nodded vigorously. "Yes,""No, you don't understand. Next time, I wouldn't care if you really died. I've told you before, it's over between us."Without the patience to wait for Anna's response, I slammed the door and immediately drove in the direction Sally left.It immediately crossed my mind to c

    Sally’s POV:I walked hand in hand with my mom into the banquet hall. The night was quite chilly and the sky overcast with clouds. The scent of the garden hung lightly in the air. Due to the fact that it was still early, there weren’t a lot of cars parked outside. Mother and I walked into the hall.Inside was magnificent. The walls stretched high, covered in luxurious drapes. Three giant crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, bathing the hall in a warm golden light. The tables were set with expensive china,. The live band was practicing in the corner, and a few staff ran about making sure everything was set.Tonight wasn’t just any banquet, it was a very special banquet. It was the night I was going to be introduced as the Chief of the Unicorn dancing troupe. It was the biggest turning point of my career. I could barely contain my excitement.As the minutes ticked by, more guests began to arrive. Music filled the hall and mingled with it the sounds of laughter and conversations. M
