Never Whole Again Chapter 10
I gazed at the sunflowers blooming in the courtyard and murmured, “Bonnie, we’re home. This is our new home. Do you like it here?”It was not until a year later that I heard news of Sean.After failing in their attempt to rise in status, Miranda and Kelsey began spreading claims that Sean was a contemptible man.Gower Group’s PR team reacted quickly, but even they could not outrun the internet.The company’s stock price plummeted, and executives began blaming Sean for dragging the entire family business down with his personal scandals.Human emotions and opinions were unpredictable. Many who once coveted Sean’s position and hoped to bring him down started backing Miranda and Kelsey instead.All the kindness Sean had once shown them was turned against him. It became a weapon of public opinion that struck without mercy.Soon, words like infidelity, betrayal, and unfaithfulness became the labels that were attached to him.Every day, Miranda and Kelsey appeared on camera, crying an

The cleaning crew arrived not long after and cleared out everything that belonged to Miranda and Kelsey.Even the things they had used or touched were thrown away.Soon, the villa looked exactly as it had before.The only difference was that Bonnie and I were no longer there.I met Sean at the old family home the day before the divorce hearing.The man before me looked utterly worn down. His suit was wrinkled, stubble darkened his jaw, and his bloodshot eyes spoke of sleepless nights.He looked at me helplessly and spoke with obvious caution.“Phoebe, can we not do this? I still love you, and I don’t want to lose our family. I’m sorry for hurting you and Bonnie. I don’t want a divorce. Please, just give me one more chance.”A mocking smile curved at my lips. I turned away and wiped the tears from the corner of my eye.Over the past month, the same thought kept circling in my mind.If I had left him sooner, maybe Bonnie would still be alive.I hated Sean for how heartless he

A second went by, then another…A full minute passed, but Sean still made no move to lean down and pick her up.Just as Kelsey was about to throw a tantrum, Miranda stopped her.On the drive back, Sean kept his foot firmly on the accelerator.As she observed his tightly knit brows, Miranda realized that something was slipping out of her control.Inside the villa, Kelsey kept asking Sean to draw with her.The drawing showed a family of three standing beneath a blue sky, with a birthday cake and fireworks in the background.Sean’s eyes welled up almost imperceptibly. He suddenly got to his feet and ran out of the villa.At the old family home, panic seized him when he discovered that everything that belonged to Bonnie and me was nowhere to be seen.He searched the house again, only to be met with disappointment each time. He kept dialing my number on his phone.But no matter how many times he tried, all he heard was a busy tone. It finally dawned on him that I had blocked him.
Never Whole Again Chapter 7
By the time I woke up, Sean had left the yard, and all that remained of the divorce agreement was ashes in the fire pit.I placed Bonnie’s urn into the backpack that I kept with me. I picked up my bags and left.Sean did not return that night.He did not dare return to the old family home, nor could he bear to go back to the villa that no longer had Bonnie and me waiting for him.Miranda and Kelsey’s presence there was a constant reminder of how deeply he had hurt and neglected his own wife and daughter for their sake.He drank himself into a stupor at the bar to numb his thoughts.Only then could he finally fall asleep.He convinced himself that it was all just a dream, that Bonnie and I were still waiting for him at the villa, just as we always had.But Miranda’s calls kept coming and shattered the illusion.He groggily opened his eyes. The name that had once occupied his every thought became irritating to look at on the screen. Even his voice carried a note of impatience.

Sean stared at the divorce agreement, frozen in place.I threw the pen into his hands the same way he had tossed bank cards at me countless times before.Panic broke through his composure. He shoved the papers aside and grabbed my shoulders. He shook me hard.“Phoebe, you’re lying to me, aren’t you? Our daughter’s still alive…”He stared intently into my eyes, searching desperately for even the slightest sign of hesitation to prove I was lying.After a long time, he looked away. His eyes were red.A mocking smile curved my lips as I said slowly, “Sean, do you remember what happened on her birthday?”Sean staggered back. Something seemed to click in his mind as his face instantly drained of color.That day, I had repeatedly told him that Bonnie’s leukemia had reached its final stage and begged him to stay.He had also heard her running after him in tears, calling him over and over again.Yet he had pushed her away without hesitation, choosing instead to go to Miranda and her c

Miranda glanced at the phone before looking at Sean with a shy smile.After only a moment’s hesitation, Sean scooped Kelsey into his arms and lifted her high into the air, drawing a fit of giggles from her.He did not answer, but his actions spoke clearly enough.I stared at the three figures on the screen as my heart broke apart, piece by piece.They were the perfect picture of a happy family. Where did that leave Bonnie and me?Tonight was supposed to be for Bonnie. He had promised one last birthday with her.But it seemed he was busy making happy memories with someone else’s child.I wondered if he even remembered Bonnie at all.I ended the call and lit the candles on the table.Maybe the food was too spicy, because I could only swallow each bite through my tears.At 9 p.m., I set up a fire pit in the yard.One by one, I began placing Bonnie’s favorite things into the flames: the clothes she wore as a newborn, her baby rattles, the outfits she wore just before she died, a
