My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend Chapter 58
The diner was nothing like the places I usually ended up in.No glass walls, no polished marble, no staff who spoke like they were trained to measure every word. Just warm lighting, slightly worn booths, the soft clatter of plates, and the smell of fried food and coffee that had been brewed too many times but still somehow worked.I sat by the window even though there was nothing to see outside except a dim streetlight and the occasional passing car. It wasn’t about the view. It was about distance. From everything.Especially my kitchen.I exhaled slowly, pushing my fingers through my hair as I picked up the menu again for no reason at all. I already knew what I wanted. I just didn’t want to think.“You look like someone trying to negotiate with a menu,” a voice said.I looked up.The man standing there wasn’t flashy. Just… present. African American, calm expression, shirt slightly loose like he wasn’t trying to impress anyone. His posture was relaxed, but his eyes were observant in a

“Okay,” I muttered to myself, dropping my bag and tying my hair back. “We’re doing something normal to end the day.”Cooking counted as normal. I thought.I pulled out ingredients without thinking too much about it, setting them on the counter in a neat line like I was organising a presentation instead of making dinner. The knife felt unfamiliar in my hand when I picked it up, heavier than it should have been, but I started chopping anyway, a little too fast, a little too hard.After a few seconds, I reached for my phone and called Amanda, putting it on speaker as I kept working.She picked up almost immediately. “Tell me you didn’t just call me to say you didn’t go to therapy.”I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “I went.”There was a pause, then, “And?”“It was pointless,” I said quickly, chopping harder than necessary. “Completely pointless. She just sat there asking obvious questions like she had discovered something profound.”Amanda hummed softly. “Uh-huh.”“No, se

“I still don’t understand why I had to come with you,” I muttered, pushing the grocery cart slowly as we moved down the produce aisle, my fingers tapping lightly against the handle like I needed something to do with the restlessness in my body.My neighbour laughed softly beside me, reaching for a bunch of tomatoes and inspecting them like she had all the time in the world. “Because,” she said, dropping them gently into the cart, “you’ve been locked in that apartment for days pretending you’re fine, and I decided I don’t believe you.”“I am fine,” I replied immediately, not even looking at her.“Mhm,” she hummed, clearly unconvinced. “That’s why you said yes so quickly when I asked you to come out.”“I needed groceries,” I said.“You needed air,” she corrected lightly.I rolled my eyes but didn’t argue. It wasn’t worth it.We moved to the next aisle, the hum of refrigerators blending with quiet chatter from other shoppers, carts rolling, items shifting, everything normal in a w

I had been seated for almost five minutes now.The soft ticking of a clock somewhere behind me, the faint hum of air conditioning, the rustle of paper as the woman across from me adjusted something on her notepad. It all felt amplified, like the space was forcing me to notice things I would rather ignore.I sat on the edge of the couch, my back straight, my hands loosely clasped in my lap like I was trying to look like I belonged there. I didn’t. The neutral tones of the room, the soft lighting, the carefully arranged furniture—it all felt too intentional, too calm, like it was designed to pull things out of people.I didn’t like that.“What brought you here, Nina?” she asked gently.Her voice was calm and direct, as if she had all the time in the world.I shrugged, keeping my eyes anywhere but directly on her. “A friend of mine, I suppose.”“Not you?” she asked. “This wasn’t your idea?”I let out a small breath, shifting slightly in my seat. “I didn’t say it was.”She nodded once, li

I moved through the space like I had something to prove, heels clicking in sharp, steady rhythms against the floor as I walked past desks, conversations, and people who greeted me with smiles I barely returned. My laptop was tucked under my arm, my phone in my hand, my mind locked on tasks, deadlines, numbers, anything that didn’t involve thinking about him.“Morning, Nina,” someone called out.“Morning,” I replied automatically, not slowing down.I didn’t stop moving. That was the point. If I kept moving, kept working, kept everything tight and controlled, then maybe I wouldn’t have to deal with anything else. Maybe I wouldn’t have to think about elevators, or mistakes, or the way his eyes had looked at me after.I turned a corner too fast.And walked straight into him.The impact wasn’t hard, but it was enough. My coffee tilted in my hand, hot liquid spilling forward before I could stop it, soaking into the front of his shirt.Everything froze.For a second, neither of us

The café was too calm for how loud my head was.Amanda was talking about something—I caught pieces of it, something about a client, a ridiculous meeting, a joke she clearly expected me to laugh at—but the words slid past me without sticking. I sat across from her, stirring my drink long after the sugar had dissolved, the spoon clinking softly against the glass in a rhythm that didn’t match anything except the tension sitting under my skin. My fingers tapped against the table between stirs, restless, betraying everything I was trying to keep contained.“Nina.”I didn’t respond.“Nina.”“What?” I snapped lightly, not even looking up.Amanda went quiet for a second, then leaned back in her chair, folding her arms as she studied me. “Okay… what happened?”“Nothing,” I said immediately, the word automatic, too quick.She raised a brow, unimpressed. “You only say ‘nothing’ when something is very wrong.”“I always say nothing,” I muttered, finally looking at her.“And I always ignore it,” s

“Jesus Christ! What the hell are you doing in my house?!” I mouthed off silently at him.Liam didn’t even flinch. Instead, he leaned back slightly against the counter, looking at me like something was amusing about all of this to him. Then he laughed, the same one that drew me closer to him at the

The music swelled louder as the ceremony turned into a full-blown party, laughter rising in waves across the reception. Glasses of champagne clinked together as the day suddenly began to give way to the night. There I was standing near one of the cocktail tables, fingers wrapped loosely around an

The moment I pushed the door open, laughter hit me first.It was careless, almost childish, and it didn’t belong in my house. I stepped into the living room and stopped, my fingers squeezing my purse as my eyes landed on them.Daniel and Olivia.They were sprawled across the couch, a bowl of popcor

The drive back was quieter than I expected. Not the kind of silence that anyone would love to be a part of, but the heavy kind that pressed against your chest and made every breath feel deliberate. What wouldn’t stop annoying was the damned radio that felt this was the right moment for a slow song
