I LEFT WHEN HIS EX CAME BACK WITH HIS SON NINETY FIVE
THALIAAfter Olivia and Knox left, my apartment became quiet and for the first time all day, I thought I might actually get some rest.I changed into comfortable clothes and settled onto the couch with a blanket over my legs. A reality show played on the television while I absentmindedly scrolled through my phone, paying more attention to the contestants arguing than anything happening in my own life.For a little while, everything felt normal. Then my phone buzzed.I barely looked at it at first because notifications had become a constant part of my life lately. The second buzz came almost immediately after the first, followed by a third, and then a fourth.My forehead creased as I reached for the phone. The notification count attached to my name made absolutely no sense.I clicked on it.The moment the page loaded, I sat upright.“What the hell is this?” I muttered as I stared at the screen. The article displayed my picture beside Clara’s and Brandon’s like we were part of some ri

THALIAOlivia and Knox had decided to invade my apartment today without asking for permission. At this point, I had accepted that neither of them respected boundaries whenever they thought I needed company.Olivia was sprawled across my couch with her phone practically glued to her hand. Knox stood near my kitchen counter stealing snacks from my cupboard like he paid rent there.“This internet thing should honestly be studied,” Olivia said as she shook her head at her screen. “People are genuinely insane.”I sat with my legs folded underneath me and sipped my tea. “What are they saying now?”Olivia groaned dramatically before handing her phone over. “Take a look.”I glanced at the screen and immediately saw hundreds of comments under another article about Brandon. People were dragging his name through the mud. And I, clearly, was depicted as the pitiful wife of the year.I handed the phone back to her. “People will do anything for a trending story.”Before anyone could continue the c

BRANDONI drove straight to my parent’s house after leaving Thalia’s place because I honestly didn’t know where else to go anymore. Everything was falling apart faster than I could fix it, and for the first time in a very long time, I needed someone to tell me exactly what to do.I barely stepped inside the house before I realized coming here had been a mistake.My mother was already standing in the living room waiting for me, and before I could even greet her, her hand connected with my face with a loud slap that echoed through the room.I immediately grabbed my cheek and stared at her in complete shock. “Mom, what was that for?”“How dare you?” she snapped, her eyes blazing with anger. “How dare you drag this family into this kind of scandal and then walk in here acting like nothing happened?”I blinked several times, trying to catch up with her anger. “What are you talking about?”She scoffed and folded her arms tightly across her chest. “Now I understand why Thalia is so determin

THALIAFor the first time since he arrived at my apartment, I didn’t immediately know what to say.His chest rose and fell heavily while he looked at me. Frustration was written all over his face, but there was something else there too.He dragged a hand through his hair and exhaled loudly. Then he looked directly at me again.“Leo is not my son, Thalia,” he said. “I should’ve explained this a long time ago.”I kept my hand on the edge of the door and waited for him to continue. If he wanted to explain himself, then he could finally do it properly.“Clara moved back to town because her ex-husband is an alcoholic,” he said. “He was abusive too.”His jaw tightened the moment he said the words. It was obvious he hated even talking about it.“He wasn’t just abusive to Clara,” Brandon continued. “He was also creating an environment that wasn’t safe for Leo.”I stayed quiet and listened. This was probably the longest explanation he had ever voluntarily given me.“We all grew up together,” h

THALIAI stared at him for several seconds after he mentioned the press conference. Then I actually laughed because I couldn’t believe he had come all the way here to say that.He stood there waiting for my answer while I looked at him like I was seeing him for the first time all over again.“You cannot be serious.”He sighed heavily and shifted his weight from one foot to the other. His face looked tired, but I didn’t care anymore.“I know how this sounds.”“No, I don’t think you do.”I folded my arms and leaned against my doorway. The audacity of this man was genuinely unbelievable.“Everyone is talking about you having a child with another woman while we’re still married, and instead of explaining yourself or asking for forgiveness, you came here to ask me to help you clean up your image?”His jaw immediately tightened.“That’s not what this is.”“Oh really?”I laughed again, but there wasn’t anything funny about it anymore. The anger that had been quietly sitting inside me for wee

THALIAI took the day off from work and, for the first time in what felt like forever, my apartment was quiet. Adrian had practically ordered me to rest before the hockey camp preparations officially started, and I wasn’t about to argue with him because even my body was beginning to protest against how chaotic my life had become. I sat on my couch with my laptop open, my calculator beside me, and a cup of coffee that had already gone cold. The peace felt strange, but I welcomed it anyway.I opened my savings account for what had to be the tenth time this week and stared at the numbers on the screen. Then I reached for the agreement Brandon had signed at the party yesterday and unfolded it carefully. Fifty percent. Fifty percent and I would finally be done with him. I leaned back against the couch and exhaled because for the first time since my father died, everything actually felt possible again.My phone suddenly started vibrating on the coffee table. I glanced at the screen and

THALIA“Yes,” I said, forcing the word past the tightness in my throat, though it emerged far less steady than I intended. “I don’t feel anything.”His gaze dropped to my lips for the briefest moment before returning to my eyes, and that tiny movement, so deliberate and knowing, sent a rush of heat

THALIABrandon gave a short scoff beside me, the sound low and dry, as though my anger was something he found mildly inconvenient rather than justified, and it made my frustration spike all over again.“What exactly are you talking about?” he asked, leaning back into the leather seat as if we were

THALIA“When are you two finally giving me my grandbabies?”Catherine asked it so lightly, with that bright, hopeful smile on her face, as though she had tossed a harmless little question into the air.But the moment the words left her mouth, something inside me froze.My fingers tightened around th

THALIACatherine Langford.My stomach dropped.Not excitement or dread.Something heavier.Like my body knew this wasn’t going to be simple.I stared at her name longer than I should have.She went to Singapore with Mr. Langford earlier this year.Even before she traveled, Cathrine was the best.Sh
