The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Forty Four
Evelyn"What the fuck Serena," I screamed.She stood in front of me with her arms crossed and her head tilted with that slow unbothered smile that I had grown up watching her use on people she had already decided she had won against."Well, well, well," she murmured, moving around me slowly, "look who we have here, tied to a chair like some animal.""Serena, watch your tone," I snapped.She stopped walking and turned to face me and the smile sharpened. "Or what?" She stepped closer, close enough that I could smell her perfume, the same one she had worn since we were teenagers."You are going to call the police?" She laughed, low and unhurried. "That is all the power you have got, but me," she spread her arms slightly, "I have all the weapons that can blow your head clean off your shoulders." She tilted her chin. "Look around you."I looked.Men lined the walls, four of them at least, armed in a way that made the room feel smaller than it already was, their expressions were flat and co

CharlieWhat in the world was wrong with Serena.I was reading her text for the third time when Frank caught up with me in the parking lot, slightly out of breath, his jacket was open and his keys were jangling in his hand."Bro, we have to talk," he called out, falling into step beside me."Not now Frank," I muttered, my eyes were still on the screen."Would not be home tonight. Love, wifey." I read it again and felt something between relief and suspicion because with Serena those two things were rarely far apart."Serena is crazy," I announced, not entirely to Frank, "Serena is damn crazy."Frank slowed. "What is the matter?""Nothing," I replied, shoving the phone into my pocket, "I am just tired, what does she even mean she will not be home tonight, where the hell is she going?"Frank looked at me for a moment and then did the thing he always did when he thought I was overreacting, which was laugh, the short easy laugh of a man who had never been married to Serena."Just one of th
The Wrong Vow, My Perfect Match Chapter Forty Two
EvelynI had waited for Julian to come home, not because I missed him, well not entirely, but because I wanted to see the look on his face when he found out I was going somewhere he had absolutely no idea about.He did not come home.By seven the makeup artist was packing up her kit and looking at me the way people look at something they are proud of."Ma'am," she said quietly, stepping back to take me in fully, "I have been doing this for eleven years and I have never seen such beauty in all my life."I smiled at my reflection and said nothing because there was nothing to add.The gold dress hit differently tonight, sharper somehow, and my hair was pinned in a way that made my neck look long and my posture deliberate, and I looked exactly like a woman who had somewhere to be and intended to be felt when she arrived.I walked to Leo's room first.He was already asleep, one arm thrown over his face the way he always slept, his mouth was slightly open, his toy figures lined up along the

CharlieAfter crazy Serena had burned the papers, I was utterly convinced that I was not getting out of this marriage easily.I had sat in front of that fireplace for a long time after she went back to bed, staring at the ash, and the thing that kept circling my mind was not the inconvenience of reprinting documents or the delay to the legal process, it was the calm on her face when she turned around, the absolute absence of regret, like she had done something completely reasonable and was prepared to do it again.I called Harrison first thing that morning."She burned them," I said when he picked up.He paused for a second. "The divorce papers?""Every page. She burnt everything."He kept quiet, longer this time. "Are you somewhere you can talk?""I am in my car," I replied, pulling out of the driveway before Serena could appear at a window and watch me leave."Alright," Harrison sighed, I could hear him thinking, the particular silence of a man reorganizing his approach. "This is n

EvelynIt was funny how Julian was quick to dismiss what I had seen, he did not even try to convince me otherwise, he just went straight into talking me out of it.I had lain awake most of the night replaying it, the way his hand had closed around my wrist before I could even lift the cheque off the vanity, the quiet certainty in his voice when he said that is none of your business, like he had been waiting for exactly that moment and knew precisely what he was going to say when it came.By morning I had decided I was going to wait, I was going to give him the space to come to me the way he always did, to circle back and explain and make it make sense the way Julian always made things make sense.He came downstairs while I was making Leo's breakfast, dressed already, jacket on, and his phone in his hand."I have to attend to some business," he said from the kitchen doorway.I kept my eyes on the pan. "Okay.""I am not sure how long it will take.""Okay Julian."He paused for a second,

CharlieIt took a lot of courage for me to say it, I kept taking deep breaths to calm myself down but my chest kept rising and falling.The drive home took twenty minutes longer than it should have because I missed my turn twice."Serena," I said to the windshield, keeping my voice level, "I think this marriage is not working."I shook my head.Too soft."Serena," I tried again, tightening my grip on the wheel, "you have not been good to me, you have not been honest with me, and I think it is time we both…"I stopped. She would eat me alive before I finished that sentence.I exhaled hard and tried once more. "Serena, I want a divorce and I need you to…""Fuck," I cursed hitting the steering wheel. Even saying it to an empty car felt impossible, felt like the words were too big for my mouth.The horn blared, long and continuous, and the driver beside me swerved and laid on his own horn, and the car behind me followed, and suddenly the entire road was a chorus of angry honking and I was
