EUDORA

I couldn’t process what I just heard.

My eyes slowly shifted from her to Aria, silently waiting for her to explain whatever this madness was supposed to mean, but she stayed quiet. The only thing she gave me was a nervous look, her eyes practically begging me not to react badly.

I pressed my tongue against the inside of my cheek and forced myself to take a slow breath.

“I was told you were a guest here, correct?” I asked calmly.

She crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m not a guest. I’m

    EUDORATwo years later, and honestly, life still wasn’t looking as great as I once imagined it would.If there was one thing I could proudly say I had done right, it was my daughter.My beautiful seventeen-month-old baby girl, Ariel.She was the brightest part of my life, the one thing that made every difficult day feel worth surviving. And thankfully, she looked almost exactly like me. Every time I stared at her face, I silently thanked God that she had inherited none of Desmond’s features.For that alone, I was grateful.But aside from Ariel, everything else in my life felt frustratingly unstable.It was almost like money personally hated me.My paintings still weren’t getting any real recognition no matter how hard I worked. Galleries barely showed interest, buyers were scarce, and people simply didn’t care enough to support my art. Maybe things would have been different if my father is relevant or respected in those circles, but nobody gave a damn about his name.And the money I g

    EUDORAI couldn’t process what I just heard.My eyes slowly shifted from her to Aria, silently waiting for her to explain whatever this madness was supposed to mean, but she stayed quiet. The only thing she gave me was a nervous look, her eyes practically begging me not to react badly.I pressed my tongue against the inside of my cheek and forced myself to take a slow breath.“I was told you were a guest here, correct?” I asked calmly.She crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m not a guest. I’m family.” She pointed at Aria m. “I’m her family.”I pressed my lips together before taking a slow step toward her. “What did you say your name was again?”“Kathy.”I nodded once. “Alright, Kathy. Here’s how this is going to work. If speaking politely is too difficult for you, then you should probably start looking for somewhere else to stay.”“She’s sorry,” Aria rushed out immediately. “Kathy doesn’t normally act like th_”“I don’t care how she normally acts,” I cut in sharply, never taking my e

    EUDORAI double blinked at her.“I beg your pardon?”Because surely I had heard wrong.That was not exactly the kind of information someone forgets to mention.The disbelief must have been obvious in both my expression and my tone because Aria visibly winced.“I know,” she said quickly. “I know how bad this sounds. And as someone paying half the rent, you absolutely deserved to know before now.”“Yes,” I agreed slowly, “I definitely did.”She grimaced harder.“I’m really sorry,” she continued. “She showed up unexpectedly, and I couldn’t exactly throw her out. Everything happened so suddenly.”I continued staring at her silently, waiting for the full explanation.Aria sighed softly before speaking again. “She lost her boyfriend recently, and she can’t keep staying in their house anymore, so she came to me.”The irritation inside me eased slightly at that.Still, I said nothing.Maybe because I was too exhausted to properly react.Or maybe because I was trying very hard not to immediate

    EUDORA When I arrived in New Zealand, my new flatmate, who also happened to be an old university mate of mine, came to pick me up from the airport.She had offered a few days earlier during one of our calls, and honestly, I saw no reason to refuse. After spending long hours on a flight, the last thing I wanted was to struggle with directions, luggage, and transport in a country that still felt somewhat unfamiliar to me.“Eudora!”Her voice rang across the airport loudly enough to draw the attention of several people walking past. A few travelers turned to look at us while others slowed down out of curiosity. Completely unbothered by the attention she was attracting, Aria waved both hands dramatically before hurrying toward me with a wide grin on her face.“I thought I had missed your landing time,” she said breathlessly the moment she reached me.I stared at her for a second, unsure of how exactly I was supposed to respond to that level of excitement. In university, Aria had always b

    CAMELLIAShe left.I felt it the moment I walked through the front door.The house felt different.Lighter.For the first time since returning and discovering that Desmond had actually married her, I finally felt a kind of peace that had been missing.Yes, he claimed he only married her out of spite. He said it was revenge. Said he wanted to punish her for what she supposedly did to me.But deep down, there was always that tiny voice in my head whispering something else entirely.What if he married her simply because he wanted to?What if revenge was just an excuse?Because honestly, when I really thought about it, there were countless ways Desmond could have ruined her life if he truly wanted revenge.He could have destroyed her reputation.Taken away her career opportunities.Dragged her through lawsuits.Humiliated her publicly.Desmond had power. Wealth. Influence.He had endless options.But out of every possible punishment, he chose marriage.Marriage.No matter how many times h

    EUDORATWO WEEKS LATERMy bags were already packed and in the trunk. The divorce papers had been signed two days ago and my flight ticket booked before then.The only reason I was still in this house was because Desmond insisted I meet with his lawyer before leaving. So here I was, seated in the office of the man who no longer wanted me, waiting like my time did not matter.I lifted my wrist and checked the time again, irritation crawling through me. “How much longer is this supposed to take?” I muttered under my breath. His lawyer was taking forever to arrive.A few seconds later, the front door swung open.The lawyer hurried in with an apologetic expression on his face, clutching his briefcase tightly. “I sincerely apologize for being late, Mr. Nelson,” he said quickly as he walked toward the chair directly opposite Desmond. “The traffic today was absolutely terrible.”Of course, I apparently did not deserve an apology too.“I do not want to miss my flight,” I said flatly.Moving t
