The Woman He Never Chose Chapter 46: That's not right
The steady hum of medical machines filled the room when Rita slowly opened her eyes.Bright white lights glared down at her from the ceiling. She winced and immediately shut her eyes again. Her nose wrinkled at the sharp smell of antiseptic. It was strong enough to make her stomach turn.“Aww... this is awful,” she groaned.After a few seconds, she forced her eyes open again. This time, her pupils adjusted to the brightness.She stared at the unfamiliar ceiling for a moment, confused. Then she felt something tugging at her hand.Rita turned her head.An IV line was connected to the back of her hand. Her brows pulled together. “What the hell?”She lifted her hand and instinctively reached for the needle, ready to pull it out. Then everything came rushing back.The classroom. The lecture. The heat spreading through her body. The sudden dizziness. And then nothing.Her eyes widened. “Oh, shit!”She dropped her hand against her forehead. She had fainted In front of everyone. Her lecturer.

Rita adjusted the strap of her bag higher on her shoulder and drew in a slow breath. The air outside the lecture hall had felt ordinary enough, but the moment she stepped through the double doors, something shifted inside her chest. The room was already half full. Students filled the middle and back rows in loose clusters, their voices overlapping in easy laughter and low talk. A few flipped through thick notebooks. Others scrolled on their phones without looking up. No one paid her any real attention.She stopped just inside the entrance. For a full second she stood there, bag pressed against her hip, and felt the old familiar weight settle over her. Everyone else looked settled. Confident. Some of the students near the front were already comparing A-level scores and listing the universities that had accepted them. One girl mentioned a summer research placement. Another talked about the private tutors her parents had hired. Rita’s fingers tightened around the worn leather strap until

Rita ate her macaroni and cheese alone at the counter. It was slightly overcooked and the cheese had gone a little brown at the edges, but she ate it anyway. She packed the rest into a container for lunch and put it in her bag.Today was her first day at university.She had waited for this day for years. Becoming a doctor had been nothing more than a dream for so long that she had almost forgotten what it felt like to want something this badly. She had talked about it, prayed about it, imagined it, rehearsed it in her head a thousand times. Walking through the doors of a medical school. Sitting in a lecture hall. Opening a textbook with her name on the cover.Now it was real. She was actually going.All because of Victoria Bellarose.Rita leaned against the counter and let the memory come back.Victoria had called for her the same night she was discharged from the hospital. Rita had saved her life. She had been at the right place at the right time, and she had done what her grandmothe

Rita stood at the stove stirring a pot of macaroni and cheese with one hand while she checked her phone with the other. The cheese had just started melting into the pasta, thick and golden. The smell filled the small kitchen. She hummed under her breath and tapped her foot against the tile in time with the soft music coming from the speaker on the counter.The doorbell rang.“I’m coming,” she called. She dropped the spoon, wiped her hands on a towel, and walked to the door in her socks. A small smile sat on her face. She expected the delivery guy with the textbooks she had ordered.She unlocked the door and pulled it open.Cassie stood on the other side.Her makeup was ruined. Mascara ran down her cheeks in dark wet lines. Her eyes were swollen and red. Her lips shook. Her hair, usually neat, had come loose. Strands stuck to her damp face. She still wore the same clothes from the night before. They looked wrinkled and wrong on her body.“Oh my God,” Rita whispered. Her mouth opened. H
The Woman He Never Chose Chapter 42: A sick, pathetic man
"Baby, why did you take our pictures off the wall?" the voice called again. This time, there was something else in it. Confusion. Then suspicion. "Eddie, did you bring another woman into our house again?" Again. The word landed on Cassie's chest like a stone. Her fingers loosened around the fork. It slipped and clattered against the plate. The sound was small but sharp in the quiet kitchen. "Woman? No," Eddie's voice came from the living room. He laughed, but it was wrong. Too quick. Too loud. "You are imagining things, Kimberly." Cassie pushed her chair back. The legs scraped against the floor. She stood up, her hands gripping the edge of the table. Her heart was already hammering, slamming against her ribs in hard, uneven beats. The sound of heels clicked against the marble floor. Fast. Getting closer. Eddie's footsteps followed behind, heavier, urgent. "Kimberly, wait," he said. "Just wait." The kitchen door flew open. And there she was. A woman stood in the doorway. She wa

The first light of dawn crept through the curtains and landed on Cassie's face, pulling her out of sleep. She frowned, turning away from the brightness, but her body met something warm and firm.Eddie's chest.He was still asleep. His arms were wrapped around her, pulling her close against him in a loose, comfortable hold. His breathing was slow and steady, the kind of breathin that belongs to a man who has nothing to fear.Cassie's lips stretched into a smile before she could even stop them. She stayed still for a moment, letting herself feel it. The warmth of his skin against her back. The weight of his arm across her waist. The rise and fall of his chest behind her.She had not felt this way in a long time. Loved. Cared for. Peaceful. Like somebody had finally taken the heaviness off her shoulders and told her she could rest.Slowly, she lifted his hand and moved it off her waist. She slid forward, just a little, creating space between their bodies. The duvet shifted as she pushed
