THE BOTTLE 1

~SIENNA~

The order confirmation was still open on my laptop.

I stared at the screen for a long moment, looking at the amount I had just spent and trying not to think about how much money had disappeared from my account in less than twenty minutes.

    THE BOTTLE 2~SIENNA~I screamed and jumped backward, the chair scraped loudly against the floor. My water bottle sat on the dining table exactly where my hand had been moments before.I stared at it.My heart beat against my chest. It was the same bottle, the same water level, nothing broken, nothing changed. I slowly stepped closer, my hand hovering above it, then I grabbed it.Cold plastic.It was solid and real; I let go. Something had disappeared, and I had brought it back. I took two steps away from the table."No." The word came out quietly.I shook my head. "No. Nope."I stared at the bottle again; there had to be an explanation, there had to be. I grabbed my pen. If I was hallucinating, I needed to know. If this was real, I needed to know that too. I held the pen tightly in my hand and stared at it."Okay." Nothing happened.I frowned."That wasn't helpful." I tightened my fingers around the pen and tried again, still nothing. I looked around the apartment like someone migh

    THE FIRST PURCHASE~SIENNA~The smell of coffee woke me before my alarm.I stayed in bed for a few seconds, looking at the ceiling and listening to the usual sounds from the kitchen. I heard cabinets opening and a spoon hitting a mug.Ethan moving around like nothing had happened, like he hadn't laughed when I told him I wanted a divorce.I got out of bed and pulled on a robe.Ethan was standing by the kitchen counter when I walked in, scrolling through his phone with one hand and holding his coffee in the other. He glanced up when he saw me."Morning.""Morning."I walked by him and reached for a mug. For a moment, we didn't say anything, then Ethan let out a sigh."Are you still mad?"I stopped with the coffee pot in my hand.I remembered Rachel's voice. "Don't change what you usually do. Don't start arguments. Don't give him a reason to doubt what you are doing before we are prepared."So I poured my coffee."I'm fine."Ethan studied me for a second. "Feeling better, then?"I loo

    ETHAN LAUGH~SIENNA~The jingle of keys in the entryway dish sounded exactly like it did every other day.I sat at the dining table, my hands resting flat on the wood. I'd made a simple dinner. I'd set the plates. I'd even poured the water. Everything looked normal. After my meeting with Rachel, I knew I had to keep the act on. One slip, and the legal advantage I was building would crumble.Ethan walked into the kitchen, tossing his jacket over the back of a chair."Smells good," he said, leaning down to kiss my cheek.I didn't move. I didn't flinch. I just felt the cold press of his skin against mine and remembered the frost on the bunker glass. He had no idea I'd already seen a lawyer. He had no idea I was counting down the sixty days left in his comfortable world."Rough day?" he asked, pulling out his chair."I met with a lawyer today," I said.Ethan paused with his fork halfway to his mouth.He looked confused, his brow furrowing slightly. "A lawyer? What for? Did something h

    THE DIVORCE LAWYER~SIENNA~The office was exactly what I needed.It wasn't flashy. It was a boutique firm hidden into a quiet building with frosted glass and friendly furniture. The receptionist barely looked up when I walked in.I sat in the waiting area, my bag heavy against my legs.Inside, I had almost everything I needed. Marriage certificate. Bank statements. Investment records. Tax returns. Even the notes I'd taken about the affair three years ago.The estate document was different. That stayed hidden in a side pocket."Ms. Vale?"A woman stepped into the hallway. Rachel Morgan looked to be in her early forties, calm and direct. She wore a dark suit.I followed her into a small, sunlit office. She gave a sign to a chair and sat across from me, opening a fresh file."What brings you in today?" she asked.I didn't hesitate."I want a divorce."Rachel didn't look surprised. She leaned back, her pen poised over the paper."Why now?"I kept my answer simple."My husband had an affa

    THE BANK ACCOUNT ~SIENNA~I pulled my laptop closer, the screen light stinging my eyes in the early morning quiet.The apartment felt too still. I needed to move before Ethan came home or my thoughts started spiraling again.I cleaned off the dining table. It had my laptop, notebook, bank statements, and phone on it. I wasn't going to guess anymore. I needed to know exactly what power I had before the world turned cold.I opened a fresh page in my leather notebook and drew a grid.Cash.Savings.Investments.Property.Vehicles.Debt.Joint Assets.I didn't want guesses. I wanted real numbers. First, I logged into my savings account. I held my breath as the page loaded.Available balance: $48,250.00.I stared at the numbers until they blurred. In my first life, this money had vanished. I had handed it over to Ethan to fix his mistakes and his mother's debts.This time, it stayed mine, every single cent.I opened the tab for our joint checking account. My stomach tightened when I saw
