Chapter 8

Penulis: Liam Pax
Peter lunged, hand clamping around her neck. "You? You think you're even in her league?"

Cindy hit the floor, realization sinking in—he knew. He knew she went to Yuna.

Desperate, she played her last card.

Tears spilled as she looked up at him, voice trembling. "But we have a baby. Yuna's gone, and I'm still here—with your kid. You said you'd take care of me, remember? You promised my dad."

Peter's face twisted, eyes wild. "A baby? That little trap you pulled? You really think it's mine? Yeah, I made a promise—but don't ever compare yourself to Yuna."

He slapped her.

Cindy hit the floor, curled up, sobbing.

Peter just stared, ice-cold. Then he pulled out his phone, hit record.

"Yuna, look. I put this trash in her place. She's nothing. I'll only ever love you."

He didn't waste a second. Burned cash, called in favors, did everything to find Yuna.

Nothing.

She was gone—like she'd never existed.

If it weren't for the things she left behind, he might've thought he imagined it all

  • Sorry, Husband Expired   Chapter 12

    Peter stared at our wedding photo—the only thing still standing—and whispered, "Yuna, I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait right here. When you come back, I'll be here."***Lionel's voice stayed steady.Lionel spoke calmly."Peter died on that floor. Staring at your photo. By the time his guys broke down the door, he was already gone."The neon lights outside smeared like paint in the rain.After a long silence, I finally said, "It's okay. You don't have to tell me anything else about him."***Two years later, I said yes to Lionel's proposal.That spring, we got married—just like we planned.My best friend Lily stood by me as my only bridesmaid, like we swore back when we were kids.The Rinehart heir's wedding? Total fairytale. My dress was custom-made, a whole piece commissioned by the family.Spending a year with the Rineharts felt like finding the kind of love and peace I didn't think was real. Stuff Peter could never give me.I slipped into the Jimmy Choos Aunt Sophia h

  • Sorry, Husband Expired   Chapter 11

    Peter knew I was dodging his calls, so he blew up my phone with texts. Like we were back in the honeymoon phase or something—nonstop chatter.Then he got desperate. Started showing up at Aunt Sophia's with gifts, swearing he'd changed, begging her and Uncle Arthur to talk me out of the divorce.Too bad for him, Aunt Sophia never liked the guy. If I hadn't been tied up with him, I'd have moved to Hampsburg ages ago.She shut him down hard."Peter, sign the divorce papers. You're the one who messed up. Even if you don't, Yuna's made up her mind—we'll take it to court."No clue what else she told him, but he packed up and left Hampsburg.***Life went back to chill. Things with Lionel? Just kept leveling up.Peter came back, but he didn't try anything. Just signed the divorce papers, no drama.He even offered me money and tried to return the pricey jewelry he gave me.I shut it all down.Yeah, I loved him once—like, for real—but it was never about the cash.I've got my own hus

    I looked up—and there he was.Peter. Just standing there, staring.He looked rough. Way thinner, face sunken, eyes bloodshot, lips all chapped and pale.And yeah, the jealousy in his eyes? Blazing."Yuna, how could you fall for someone else so fast?"Like I was the cheater.Lionel stepped in, ready to block him, but I touched his arm. Chill, I got this.Honestly, the whole scene was a joke. I didn't even flinch."So what? I'm divorcing you."Then Peter grabbed me from behind, arms tight like he thought that'd fix things.Voice all cracked and raw. "I haven't signed the papers. It's been forever. Aren't you done being mad? I gave up everything at the firm to find you. Just come home with me."I yanked myself free, heart hammering. "Don't touch me. You're just some guy to me now."Peter froze, eyes full of that sad puppy look. "You don't mean that. I can't be a stranger. Yeah, I screwed up, but Cindy meant nothing. It was a stupid fling. She came on to me—I said no at first.

    Lionel handed me a lobster. "Try it. It's our chef's specialty."I blushed. "Thanks."The Rineharts had that cozy, wholesome vibe—like, instant comfort. By dessert, I actually felt... okay.After dinner, Aunt Sophia gave me a little shove toward the patio."Yuna."Lionel's voice—low, smooth—floated over from behind me.He was standing in the glow like some kind of angel. Annoyingly perfect.I crossed my arms. "What? Here to roast my ex or my trash taste in guys?"He laughed, then gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Why would I mock you? You didn't wreck your marriage—he did.""Lionel..."His smile messed with my head. My heart was basically a marching band.We didn't say anything. Just stood there on the porch while crickets did their thing in the background."Yuna," he said quietly, "I'm honestly glad you finally saw Peter for who he is."I turned, caught off guard.He chuckled, soft and low.Then—"Because now I finally get to stand next to you and say...

    Peter stopped the intern who'd talked to Yuna that day."Is she off today?"Emma stepped back like he reeked. "Dr. Zander already quit.""What? Why?"She laughed—mean and loud. "You and your little mistress have a kid now. Why would you care?"Chill hit him like ice water.Then she shoulder-checked him and walked off.His ears rang. Blood pounded.Yuna wasn't supposed to know.Cindy swore it was safe doing her checkups there. Said no one would ever notice—hidden in plain sight.Peter didn't even remember getting home.The living room looked like a graveyard—Floyd roses wilted, birthday cake in the trash.Even the ring? Yuna had tossed it.He stumbled into the closet. Her clothes? Cleared out. Books, docs—vanished.The study door creaked open. Divorce papers sat on the desk, signed.The screen still glowed with his chat history with Cindy.A flash drive sat on top. Hands shaking, he plugged it in.Photos. Videos. Messages. All from Cindy—sent to Yuna.One video played.
