It was Monday morning.

The day I’d been dreading.

The day I had planned to finally sit across from Jayden and get the truth out of him, whether I was truly his love or just… a convenient choice.

The thought made my stomach churn. I was terrified of what I might hear. Terrified that the last few years of my life had been nothing but a cruel play, and I was the only one acting in love. Terrified that our marriage had been built on a lie from the very beginning.

I’d been awake long before my alarm. My eyes had been fixed on the ceiling for hours, my heart pounding in quiet bursts.

When the first rays of light slipped into the room, I pushed the covers away and crossed to the window. With a slow breath, I drew the curtains open. The sunlight streamed in, bathing my room in a soft golden glow. For a moment, it almost felt like hope.

I pushed the window open and let the cool morning air touch my face. My chest felt a little lighter. Maybe it was a sign. Maybe the day wouldn’t end in heartbr

    It had been one of those days that made my head pound. Meetings back-to-back. No time to breathe. I had been in and out of the factory, checking the production for our new designs, then rushing to the design department to review the fresh concepts they’d been working on. Every conversation felt like a clock ticking louder in my head.I didn’t even realize the time run so fast. My stomach twisted in protest, reminding me I hadn’t eaten. My phone began to ring and ring again, vibrating against my desk like it was about to burst.The moment I saw the caller ID, my heart skipped and then slammed against my ribs.Jayden.I didn’t think. I just grabbed my bag, almost knocking my chair over, and rushed out."Hello Jayden, I’ll be with you shortly. Thank you," I said breathlessly into the phone as I hurried down the hall.I practically leapt into the elevator. My heels tapped restlessly against the floor as if they could make the slow box move faster. Each floor felt like a year passing.The

    After a long, soothing evening bath, I changed into a cute nightgown and headed to the kitchen. The cool tiles felt good under my bare feet. I grabbed a bottle of orange juice from the fridge, the condensation slick against my palm, and poured a generous amount into a glass.As I savored the tangy sweetness of the juice, scrolling mindlessly through my phone, a message popped up, halting my thumb mid-swipe. My heart did a little flutter, anticipating something good, but that feeling vanished as soon as I read it."I warned you not to meet with him, but you didn't listen. Now watch and see what happens to those who do not listen."A shiver traced its way down my spine, raising goosebumps on my arms. I reread the message, trying to decipher its meaning. Was it a threat? A warning? My stomach churned with unease.After a forced, lighthearted chat with everyone, trying to mask the growing anxiety gnawing at me, I retreated to my bedroom. I adjusted the duvet, smoothing out the wrinkles, a

    I arrived at the restaurant where I was supposed to meet Jayden.The moment my hand touched the door handle, a wave of anxious heat brushed over my skin, making me stop right there. My breath came quicker, and my chest felt tight, as if my heart was knocking hard to be let out.For a moment, I closed my eyes and took in a slow, deep breath."You can do this," I whispered to myself, trying to swallow the lump in my throat. Then I pushed the door open.The place smelled like coffee and fresh bread, warm and inviting, yet my stomach churned with nerves. My eyes scanned the room until they landed on him, Jayden James Bruno, sitting at a corner table, one hand resting on the table, the other scrolling on his phone like he had no care in the world."There he is… living his best life," I muttered under my breath, rolling my eyes. My heels clicked softly against the floor as I walked toward him."If it isn’t Mister Jayden James Bruno," I said, letting my voice drip with sarcasm.He looked up,

    "You… what? You love me?" I whispered, my voice shaky as I tried to push myself up on the bed.Donald quickly leaned forward, his warm hand pressing gently on my shoulder. "Hey… relax. Don’t try to get up. You’re still weak." His eyes softened, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Uh… yes. I do. Tricia loves you… and I love you… and you love me. Don’t you love me?"I just stared at him, my head tilting slightly, my brows knitting together in confusion. My heart beat faster, but not from weakness, there was something in the way he said it, like there was more behind his words."What… are you saying, Donald?" I asked, my voice a mix of curiosity and suspicion.He chuckled under his breath, shaking his head like he was trying to play it off. "What I’m saying is… I’m just glad you’re okay. You gave us a scare, you know that?"Guilt pricked at me. "I’m sorry…"His hand lingered a little longer on mine. "No. You don’t have to be. The doctor said your blood pressure dropped. Yo

    I was lost in thought.So deep in it, I didn’t even realize we had already gotten home.The car had come to a complete stop, but my mind was still spinning, trapped in loops of confusion and a thousand unanswered questions.Tricia got out first. She reached for her bag, humming softly, when she turned and saw I hadn’t moved a single inch. My hands were still in my lap, my eyes blank and glued to the dashboard.She frowned. “Hey!” she called, but I didn’t flinch.Then, without warning, she smacked my hand hard.I jerked, sitting up straight immediately, eyes wide, heart racing like I’d just been yanked out of another world. My gaze darted around in confusion before finally landing on her.“What the hell, Tricia?”She rolled her eyes. “You zoned out completely. I was calling your name for the past one minute!”I looked around again, blinked rapidly, then exhaled. My shoulders slumped. “We’re home already?”“Yes. We’ve been home for two whole minutes, but you were too busy staring into o
