My Husband’s Regret, Not My Problem—Short Story CHAPTER 21
NALANI~ONE MONTH LATER~“My wish wasn’t granted. I really never wanted to see his face again,” I tell Keith with a frown on my face as we stand beside each other in front of the city’s penitentiary.“Lani,” he begins, using the shortened version of my name which he now calls me by. “Even when you made that wish, I’m sure you knew it just wasn’t possible. He may have left you with these papers, but he never signed them. I know it’s not easy, but that’s why I’m here with you. We’ll be in and out before you know it. We still have traffic to beat today, remember?”I nod.Aside from coming to see Daniel in prison to finalize our divorce, today is our first physical store launch in the heart of New York City.Daniel’s attempt to kill me on a live stream with close to twenty thousand people on it might just have been the best worst thing to have happened to me, because after that, I became popular, just as Keith said.The traction helped my business explode in a matter of hours, and thanks
My Husband’s Regret, Not My Problem—Short Story CHAPTER 20
NALANITears burn my vision, and there’s a massive commotion going on a few feet away from me, yet, my focus is on getting air back into my failing lungs without dying from too much. I claw desperately at my neck, coughing harder than I ever have in my life, with my chest tight and grating from the assault. After what feels like an eternity of coughing, I slowly begin to breathe normally, but I’m still sore all over.When I dare my eyes to open, it takes a few seconds for me to make out the figure of the person hunched over Daniel.It’s Keith.Oh my goodness…and he’s pounding the living daylights out of Daniel’s face. Daniel doesn’t even try to fight back because he’s no match for Keith’s might.Keith is slightly more buff than Daniel, but he looks like he works out, solely for this purpose, while Daniel doesn’t. I can’t say it doesn’t scare me, but when his purpose for getting physical is to protect me from someone who just tried to strangle me to death, I watch with a frozen stare.
My Husband’s Regret, Not My Problem—Short Story CHAPTER 19
NALANII’ve never felt fear like this in my life, not even when I saw the office building all up in flames that night.Daniel just confessed to killing Gwen…with the crazed idea that he did it to prove something to me…and he wants me to either forget about it and act like it’s nothing, accepting him for it, or kill him with the cold steel that is forcefully wrapped around my hand.Daniel smells like death, bad energy seeps through his pores like a musk, wrapping its long eerie fingers around my neck, and his eyes…there’s nothing in his eyes. Just a blank, distant stare, telling me that the Daniel I knew is gone, and this person right here, is capable of the worst, darkest thing.When he jerks me violently, seeing that my thoughts are not with him, I see that the mask Daniel wears is cracking down by the second, and I lose it, tightening my grip on the knife to a fault. “You’re a monster!” The tears have stopped flowing from my eyes and all that’s left now is a glossy film over my ey

DANIEL I think I heard Nalani talking to someone when I came in, but I’m just glad that I finally found where she’s been staying, so all I care about right now is how to remove that look of restless fear from her eyes. “Don’t be scared, Nalani, I didn’t come to hurt you,” I say, putting my hands up in front of me in a truce sign, but it doesn’t do anything. Nalani looks like a deer caught in headlights, eyes wide with worry.“I just came to talk,” I continue. “I told you I’ll bring the divorce papers to you, right?” I say with a glint in my eyes, proud that I proved her wrong. I show her the papers, even though I have no intention of signing them because I’m never letting Nalani go. “I brought them.”Nalani steps back still, almost stumbling over the table before her, my words doing nothing to reduce her uneasiness, and I clench my jaw, starting to grow frustrated.“How did you find me, Daniel? How did you get in here?” She asks, her voice teary. “Amanda told me she saw you around
My Husband’s Regret, Not My Problem—Short Story CHAPTER 17
NALANI“Do you really think all of this is necessary, Keith?” Should we even be tampering with the installations the owners of this house put in place?” I ask him the moment he pulls out brand new locks for all the doors from his handy bag immediately he arrives. Not just with that, but with security cameras too. “After you told me that he basically threatened your life?” Keith scoffs. “It’s more than necessary. And you don’t have to worry about the owners. The place is basically mine even if I only rented it. The apartment belongs to a friend, and he wouldn’t mind me wanting to feel more secure in where someone dear to me is living.”I suck in my bottom lips, mulling over his words.Day after day, Keith has let it be known to me that he finds me attractive, but every time, I skillfully avoid addressing it. He doesn’t press further, so I don’t think it’s much of a problem. “Alright then, thank you, Keith.”“Anytime,” he nods, and in a second, he takes off his shirt, and there’s noth
