In the two years after Bradley Vaughn's so-called "memory loss," we divorced seven times—all to keep his childhood crush Vivian Monroe happy. Number eight? Because Vivian got pregnant. "You can't have kids anyway. Once Vivian has the baby, we'll get back together. You can raise the kid." That was his usual ice-cold line as he slid the papers across the table. That night, he kicked me out—said Vivian got nauseous just seeing me. I moved into another house. Alone. In the rain. Even after I landed in the ER from a near assault, he didn't bother asking if I was okay. Then one day, I spotted him at a clinic with Vivian. He rubbed her belly and laughed, "So what if she finds out I faked the amnesia? She can't live without me. Toss her a bone, she'll come crawling." I looked away, steady. Then my phone buzzed. [How did your checkup go?]

Never Again, Never You Chapter 9
Vivian's hair was plastered to her face, skin pale like a ghost.She looked wrecked—nothing like the delicate, fake version she always showed Bradley.One eye was swollen shut, a bruise blooming near her mouth.She looked up, smirking."You think you've won, Serena?" Her laugh was shrill. "Bradley's always loved me. You? Just a side piece. So what if he married you?"Smack.Nathan's slap hit hard. Her cheek puffed up instantly."Who told you to talk?"Then he turned to me, voice softer."This room's soundproof. Do whatever you need."I stepped forward.Two years of setups, lies, and humiliation came crashing down.I reached for the whip, but Nathan caught my wrist."Careful with your hand."He showed me how to hold it. How to swing.The first lash ripped a scream out of her.By the tenth, she was shaking."Bradley won't let you get away with this!" she shrieked. "He said he'd protect me!"Nathan looked down at her like she was nothing."He can't even protect himself.

He looked up at me, eyes dark, unreadable.Then he laughed—low, bitter, off."You knew I faked the amnesia. All of it. Just to get back at you."He pushed up and staggered toward me.I backed away until my spine hit the headboard with a dull thud.Bradley slammed a hand beside my ear, breath warm against my cheek."So what, you brought in some other guy to play house? Is that your revenge plan?"His forehead pressed to mine, and I felt hot tears splash onto my face."Rena, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."His hand trembled as he cupped my cheek, thumb brushing away a tear."But I loved you. Even before I realized it."He started leaning in—I snapped. Slapped him hard."Quit the act! You disgust me!"His head whipped sideways, red mark blooming across his face.Bradley turned back slowly, lips twitching like he wanted to say more."You mocked me. Humiliated me. Broke me apart!"My voice shook as all the rage I'd buried came pouring out."You used Vivian to punish me, and now

I couldn't figure him out.He asked for the divorce. He told me to leave.But now that I stopped begging? He looked miserable again.Still, since he wanted answers, I gave them."The accident didn't just wreck my uterus—it took the baby too. I was two months pregnant."Silence hit hard.Bradley froze, color draining from his face. His Adam's apple bobbed twice."You were pregnant? Back then?"Nathan's grip on my hand tightened, knuckles turning white."I didn't know either," I said. "The doctor told me after I woke up."And just like that, the memories crashed back.The pain. The sound of metal twisting.Blood everywhere.I was drowning in it again.I'd once asked Bradley why he didn't come for me.If he had, would my baby still be alive?Bradley dropped his face into his hands, shoulders shaking.I'd never seen him like this. He looked wrecked."It's my fault... I..."His voice was thick, buried in his palms.But deep down, I knew the truth—Even if he'd known I w

The second he saw me, Nathan's brows pulled together. His eyes narrowed when he took in my mess of a state."Help... me!"I stumbled out of the elevator, chasing that breath of cool air.Nathan caught me by the shoulders before I collapsed."You were drugged?"I nodded, grabbing his tie without thinking.He wanted to take me to the hospital, but whatever I'd been given was too strong.That night was chaos. I just wanted to say thanks.But instead, he said,"Want to get married? I've got a car, a house—not a bad deal, right?"I was still heartbroken, not ready for anything serious.But he said he needed a wife. If I really wanted to thank him, we could get a marriage certificate.Now, lying on the operating table with anesthesia kicking in, that memory played on loop.He'd been the most unexpected lifeline.Even before I was fully awake, I heard shouting outside.Bradley's voice—raw and strained."Let me in! I need to see her!"I forced my eyes open.Nathan pressed my
