Love Fades on the Peak Chapter 10
Stanley looked up, his eyes brimming with sorrow.Someone whispered, "My condolences. She is gone."Brett moved to the bed, refusing to believe it.Days apart, Erika'd withered further.He looked closely and noticed traces of blood on Erika's lips. Her furrowed brow suggested the pain she had endured."No, Erika is not dead," he mumbled, touching Erika's hair. "She is just in pain. Please, give us the room."Stanley hesitated, eyeing his dishevelment, then exited with the staff.Once the door shut, Brett took out the beads, the surface etched with dense scriptures.He had recited them repeatedly these past few days, believing they'd heal Erika.He tried to lift her wrist, but the crimson blood on his hand stopped him.Frowning, he wiped it clean with his sleeve before gently slipping the beads on her wrist.Hopeful, he watched Erika's face, but nothing happened.Not even her eyelashes fluttered.A sharp pain pierced his heart, but he suppressed it, convinced he needed to w

In the show, I played a bandit, my face grotesquely painted.My roommates jested that Brett would abandon me upon sight.People tended to hide their flaws from their loved ones. I did the same, dreading his judgment of my absurdity.But when the show was staged, he was there.Someone beside him recognized me and laughed. I cringed, wishing the ground could open and swallow me.Post-show, I fled in tears. He pursued, enveloping me.Pulling away, I fretted over his soiled jacket. "My bad."Undeterred, he used his sleeve to dry my face. "No version of you repels me. You're flawless, always."...Winter deepened.We selected a warmer day to formalize the divorce, but Brett persisted in hospital visits.I discouraged them, my state deteriorating with migraines, fevers, hemorrhages, and blackouts.He kept vigil through sleepless nights, compulsively verifying my vitality and frantically consulting global experts.Efforts proved vain. Prognoses were uniform in their bleakness.O

Stanley's questions lacerated Brett, unearthing agonizing truths.Stanley added, "I leveraged your name to bring her back. She'd covertly scour news of you, hoping to reunite with you. I thought recovery was near until that charity event."Brett's eyes brimmed scarlet as he recalled the gala where our paths crossed again, leading to the forced marriage and isolation from Stanley.He searched hard in his memories for any clues until some fragments surged from the cracks and gripped his throat.There were moments I had tried to tell him, but he interrupted me every time.It was his ridiculous pride that kept him from listening. It was his fear of hearing Stanley's name that drove him to push me away."Your past repulses me. Spare me the details," he'd sneered, relishing my pain."It's evident that your marriage was vengeance," Stanley choked. "She thought she deserved it, so she ensured it silently. You despised her, yet she amplified that contempt exponentially."Brett's chest a

A reporter pressed, "Mr. Mason, did you know your wife was assaulted before her imprisonment abroad?"Brett's head snapped up, our eyes locking in shared horror.His body swayed, and my dignity crumbled to dust."You concealed your trauma and homicide. Does that constitute marital fraud?""Your prison-acquired illness is karma, perhaps?""Aware that Ms. Green carries his child?"...The barrage of questions impaled me, robbing me of air.Vertigo assailed me. I collapsed, blood surging from my lips."Erika! No!" Brett roared, charging toward me, but the mob repelled him.They advanced, their lenses feasting on my vulnerability."Shoot it! Cover gold!""Close-up on the blood and face!"Echoes of that fateful night resurfaced. The assailant had photographed me like this for leverage.Perhaps I should have turned the knife on myself. Self-inflicted mercy might have spared this hell....The antiseptic tang assaulted my nostrils.I stirred, realizing I had ended up in the h

Releasing me, Brett erupted in a hollow, self-mocking laugh. "Such a convenient excuse! Your heart is truly stone."The venom in his parting glance threatened to consume me whole. "Fine, divorce it is. But the pain you caused me? You'll taste it too."...My terminal state rendered hospitalization pointless, so I returned home.In excruciating headaches, I'd swallow sleeping pills and curl on the sofa with Brett's diary.Commotion outside shattered my stupor. Barefoot, I peered through the curtains at a swarming crowd.I didn't know who they were or how they managed to get in.Spotting me, they surged like vultures and pressed against the glass. Their chants were blurry until a forceful shove cracked the window, allowing frigid air and clarity to rush in."Your take on your husband's affair with rising star Sylvie Green?"I stood frozen, flashes blinding me.This was Brett's vengeance, exposing our marital decay and reducing me to a public spectacle.A sharp screech pierced

I mustered a rueful smile. "Honestly, how much time do I have? I'm ready."Consulting the chart, he replied somberly, "Six months at most."Pitying glances surrounded me, but it felt ample to me.I just felt sorry for Stanley, who'd fought so hard to save me."May I borrow your phone to call a friend?" I asked.During my confinement, Stanley must have tried to reach me countless times.I called him, but the line rang unanswered.Assuming he was engaged in a session, I returned the device with a polite smile, asking to relay my well-being if he called back.The doctor paused. "Are you talking about the psychiatrist affiliated with Oatheawood University?"I nodded despite my puzzlement.The doctor revealed, "He is under suspension for improper relations with his patient."I froze, learning the date aligned with the morning after my birthday when Brett seized my phone and isolated me.The coincidence was chilling....Outside, darkness shrouded everything.I couldn't see an
