Weeks bled into months. The crisp country air, once a balm, now carried the subtle chill of autumn.

Megan’s physical wounds had long since mended, leaving faint, silvery scars that were a constant, quiet reminder of the attack. But the deeper wounds, the emotional ones, were a labyrinth she navigated daily.

The recorded call from Lizbeth, a chilling testament to pure malice, had been shared with her parents and Queen, deepening their resolve to protect her. They had, on Queen’s insistence, sent the recording anonymously to the police, hoping it would be the missing piece.

One blustery Saturday, the familiar crunch of tires on the gravel driveway announced visitors. Megan’s heart fluttered with a mix of anticipation and trepidation.

Queen, ever vibrant, practically tumbled out of the car, followed by the composed figure of Professor Mendez. And then, there he was – Dante, standing a little apart, his gaze fixed on Megan with a potent mix of hope and apprehension. He looked thinner,

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   WE HIT QUICK!

    The transition back to campus was a strange kaleidoscope of emotions for Megan. The fear, though muted, still hummed beneath the surface, a constant, low thrum. Yet, there was also a blossoming sense of empowerment, a quiet defiance born from her decision to reclaim her life; the campus gates, once a symbol of terror, now felt like a threshold to be crossed, not a barrier to flee.Her return was met with a wave of warmth and concern. Students, faculty, and even some of the administrative staff offered smiles, words of encouragement, and genuine inquiries about her well-being. Professor Mendez was a constant, reassuring presence, ensuring her schedule was manageable and that she had access to counselling services. Queen was her steadfast shadow, her fierce loyalty a comforting shield. And Dante, true to his word, maintained a respectful distance, his presence a quiet, supportive anchor rather than an insistent demand. They exchanged hesitant smiles, brief, understanding glances acr

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   A TINY EMBER OF STRENGTH

    The next few days passed in a blur of restless waiting for Dante. He paced his apartment, the burner phone he’d found on the street after the confrontation with Lizbeth sitting on his coffee table, a constant reminder of the volatile encounter. He’d shown it to Ben and Mike, who immediately recognized it as a burner. The implications were clear: Lizbeth was involved, and she had gone to great lengths to cover her tracks. They'd meticulously scoured the phone, but Lizbeth had done a thorough job; all incriminating messages were deleted. Still, the existence of the phone itself was damning.Professor Mendez's call finally came late Thursday afternoon. "Dante," her voice was calm, but he detected an underlying weariness. "I've spoken with Megan."Dante's heart hammered against his ribs. "Is she okay, Professor? Is she safe?""She's physically on the mend, and she's with her parents in the countryside, which is a good thing," Professor Mendez confirmed. "Emotionally, she's fragile, as y

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   I KNOW SHE DID IT

    The sun began its slow descent, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. The air grew cooler, carrying the earthy scent of the countryside indoors. Megan's parents, having finished their chores, joined them on the porch. Her mother carried a tray with steaming mugs of herbal tea, while her father settled into his favorite rocking chair, a comfortable silence falling over them."How are you feeling, sweetheart?" her mother asked, her voice soft, as she handed Megan a mug.Megan took a deep breath, the warmth of the mug seeping into her hands. "A little better, Mom. Queen's been… a huge help." She glanced at Queen, a grateful smile on her face.Her father nodded. "Queen, we can't thank you enough for coming. It means the world to us to see Megan smile again.""Of course," Queen replied, a genuine warmth in her voice. "Megan's my best friend. I wouldn't be anywhere else.""We've been talking a lot," Megan began, her voice gaining a little more strength. "About… everything." She l

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   DON'T LET FEAR WIN

    The crisp country air, thick with the scent of damp earth and pine, filled Megan’s lungs. It was a stark contrast to the city's relentless exhaust, and for the first time in weeks, she felt a fragile sense of peace. Her parents’ home, a sprawling farmhouse nestled amidst rolling green hills, was a sanctuary. Here, the terrifying echoes of the attack seemed distant, muted by the chirping of cicadas and the gentle rustle of leaves.But even in this idyllic setting, her mind was a tempest. The physical wounds were slowly mending, but the emotional scars ran deep, twisting her thoughts into a Gordian knot of fear, confusion, and a lingering ache for what was lost.Dante. His name was a ghost on her tongue. The thought of him brought a painful cocktail of emotions – the warmth of shared laughter, the comfort of his presence, and the crushing guilt that perhaps, in some inexplicable way, her relationship with him had made her a target. Should she even see him again? Could they ever trul

  • THE ABANDONED WIFE   A GENUINE SHIVER OF FEAR

    Dante stared at the address on the leave of absence pass, his mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. The urge to immediately go to Megan was overwhelming, a primal need to ensure her safety and try to make amends. But the logical part of his brain, the part that had watched her withdraw and suffer, cautioned against it. What if his sudden appearance only intensified her pain, making her feel even more cornered?He paced the confines of his apartment, the crumpled paper clutched in his hand. The address was for a remote village, a place where peace and quiet would be in abundance, far removed from the traumatic memories of campus. It made sense that she would seek solace there. But for him to intrude on that fragile peace felt… wrong.He pictured Megan's face, the haunted look in her eyes after the attack. She needed to heal, not to be confronted by the very person who, however unintentionally, had been a catalyst in her recent suffering. Yet, the unspoken words between them, the
