Her Resolve Chapter 50
Lauren pov I woke up feeling wrong. Not the usual groggy, jet-lagged tired. This was deeper. Nausea twisted my stomach, sharp and sudden, followed by a dull ache low in my abdomen that made me freeze in place. My hand moved to my stomach instinctively, panic rushing in before logic could catch up. Three weeks wasn’t far along. Anything could happen. I sat up slowly, breathing through the discomfort, then forced myself out of bed. As I stood up, the pain became sharper. Unable to bear it, I quickly dressed in the simplest thing I could find, brushed my teeth, grabbed my bag, and left the apartment without bothering to eat. The walk to the entrance of my apartment felt endless, my thoughts spiraling the entire way. I quickly hailed a cab and told him to take me to the closest hospital. During the drive I couldn't stop breathing through my mouth, it was the only way that didn't seem to intensify the pain. By the time he stopped at the hospital, I was already crying. Please be o

Andre PoV I kept rereading the note like it might change if I stared at it long enough. Lauren’s goodbye sat open on my computer screen, the words burned into me now, memorized against my will. Every line felt calm. Too calm. That was the part that terrified me the most. There was no anger in it. No accusations. Just clarity. Finality. I am not running away, I'm simply leaving for my peace of mind. Please don't bother looking for me. Don't bother to look for you? How do you leave the person you’re married to because of something that's most likely untrue without even giving them the chance to fight? And then ask that I don't look for you? Ridiculous. I hadn’t been to the office in days. I didn’t shave. I did bathe. Didn’t answer calls. I barely slept. I barely ate. The curtains stayed drawn, the room dark, as if I kept the light out long enough, this wouldn’t be real. Like Lauren might walk back in, drop her bag by the door, and tell me this was all some cruel misu

Lauren pov Starting over sounds brave in theory. In reality, it feels like learning how to breathe again—slowly, deliberately, painfully aware of every inhale. New Zealand welcomed me with calm skies and streets that didn’t know my past. I chose Auckland, not because it was loud or impressive, but because it felt alive without being overwhelming. A city where ambition existed quietly, where I could disappear and still grow. For two days, I walked through different houses and apartments with a real estate agent named Maeve, nodding politely while my mind wandered. Too big. Too small. Too cold. Too expensive. Too stuffy. Each place felt like someone else’s life waiting to be lived. But I was positive I was going to get the right one. Nights were harder. The city quieted early, and silence had a way of pulling memories to the surface. I lay in bed, staring at the unfamiliar ceilings, thinking of Dre, his voice, his presence, his touch, the man I loved despite
Her Resolve Chapter 47
Andre POV I woke up expecting silence. The kind that had become normal lately, the distance Lauren wore like armor, the way she moved through the house avoiding me and every other resident. I reached across the bed out of habit and felt nothing but cool sheets. I sighed deeply. I was getting sick of not being around her. I miss her so much. She had lost herself in all of this and it was entirely my fault. She had lost her spark, her energy, and her happiness and I was all to blame. The hate I had grown towards myself was gruesome. She’s been leaving home super early since the beginning of this week, before dawn. Quiet footsteps. Doors that closed without sound. She thought I didn't know or hear her but I did. I was always tempted to follow her but I knew she just wanted her space and that's all I could afford to give her at this time so I gave it generously. I got out of bed, headed to the bathroom to shower, get dressed, and then stepped into the hallway just as Gr

Lauren Pov The cursor blinked on the screen like it was waiting to judge me. I stared at the list I had scribbled earlier—countries far from America, places where the Sebastian’s name would carry little to no weight, no shadows. Somewhere quiet. Somewhere she could breathe without looking over her shoulder. Europe felt too close. Too connected. Too easy to trace. Asia was beautiful, but the cultural shift felt too sharp for someone already unraveling. Then my eyes drifted back to the name she’d circled twice. New Zealand. Far. Peaceful. Familiar enough not to feel like exile, but distant enough to feel like freedom. English-speaking. Clean slates. Wide landscapes that didn’t feel claustrophobic or crowded with memories. A place where Lauren Popes could disappear—and someone else, Lily Stones, could finally exist. My chest tightened, not with fear this time, but with certainty mixed with nerves. I opened a new tab and searched for flights. One-way. No return. The
Her Resolve Chapter 45
Lauren POV I woke before my alarm. The sky outside my window was still dim, that soft blue-gray hour before the city fully stirred. I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, grounding myself in the plan. Three days. Today mattered. I got out of bed quietly and began to get ready, moving through my routine with practiced ease. I had just slipped into my robe and reached for my bag when a knock sounded on the door. Three short knocks. I frowned. “Grace?” I called, already walking toward the door. I opened it without thinking. Andre stood there. For a split second, time froze. He looked tired—dark circles under his eyes, his shirt slightly rumpled like he’d slept in it. He hadn’t shaved. The sight of him still did something to me, still pulled at a place in my chest I hadn’t managed to cauterize yet. My first instinct was to slam the door in his face. My second was to pretend he didn’t exist. I did neither. “What do you want?” I asked quietly. His ja
