Report
I was thrown out someone else's door twice before I even turned thirty. The first time was during my marriage with Donald Stern, a businessman. When it was time for my pregnancy checkup, I found out he was making love to a college girl right in front of the 100th floor's window. He called me a childish woman and threw me out the door. My father told me that all wealthy men cheated sooner or later. To prove people wrong, I married my childhood friend of ten years, Shawn Foster. He was accepting and caring of me. He did not mind that my ex-husband still sent apology gifts every year. He did not even mind that we had no children after three years of marriage. Every time we were going at it and reaching the climax, he would nibble on my ear and whisper, "We don't need children. All I need is you." On our anniversary, he brought home a woman I had never seen before and ordered the butler to throw my luggage out of the main bedroom. I clenched the pregnancy test I had not yet shown him. With a trembling voice, I asked, "What's the meaning of this?" A cigarette sat between his fingers. He had a look on his face that said he had just heard the biggest joke getting cracked. "Drop the act already, Yvonne. Haven't you learned anything from Donald dumping you?"

It was a rainy day when it happened, when Shawn found me. I was on my recliner, my fingers caressing my cat's fuzzy ears."I've found you, Yvonne…" He was shivering from excitement, and he stood in the rain like some lost hero finally coming home after the war.Perhaps my serene response came from the fact that I had let the past go. His presence stirred nothing inside me, not even hatred. "Come in. You shouldn't stay out in the rain."He straightened and blurted eagerly, "Yes, of course!"…As Shawn dried his hair with a towel, he began thinking of what he should say. Finally, he said, "This is a tiny place. Come back to Imperia."I looked at this man, the one I used to love and hate. There was nothing but calm in my gaze as I replied blandly, "Yes, you have a big villa, but I found no happiness there. This place is small, but it's enough for me."Shawn's smile froze as panic swept through his eyes. "I know it's all my fault. I promise I'll repent my mistakes. I'll make it up t
Twice Cast Aside Chapter 7 Her Accident
A few hours later, Donald came back to my ward. He wouldn't leave, no matter what I threw at him. The guy was behaving like a gum stuck to the soles of my shoes. He held a bowl of soup and blew on it until it cooled down.He tried to feed me, but I turned my head away."You're the reason Cecelia came to Imperia. You know she's the one who told the vagrants to sexually assault me," I said tonelessly."Yvonne, I…" Donald's lips thinned into a line as he quickly tried to explain himself.I held up my hand, stopping him. "Why would you even do that? You're nothing like the man I knew. You're the richest man in Porton. You have all the power you want right at your fingertips."You could've kept her involvement a secret if you wanted to, and Shawn would never figure out that she was behind it. That's why she's still breathing, while the vagrants are dead."For a long time after that, the only sound in the ward was my labored breathing. The atmosphere between us was so tense and depress
Twice Cast Aside Chapter 6 Just Leave
"Yvonne, please. Please give me another chance. I'd never hurt you again, I swear. I was a total idiot. Please, give me a chance, for old times' sake. We're childhood friends."Shawn was panicking. He crawled over to the bed and tugged on the blanket as he begged for another chance. It was funny because he didn't even have the courage to hold my hand.His tears only made me feel even more disgusted. "What a hypocrite. If you had kept a closer eye, Cecelia never could've had the chance to kill the baby. You knew our history, but still you hooked up with her. Don't call what you feel for me, love. If anything, it has to be hate. "After all, you chose to trust her, not me."No number of words could make up for what he did to me. Honestly, I shouldn't have expected anything from men. I shouldn't have relied on someone else to give me happiness.I got a divorce once, and I could do it again. So, I wiped the angry tears away and looked down at Shawn. "Enough talk. You and Cecelia alrea
Twice Cast Aside Chapter 5 Absurd
That took the last sliver of my strength, and I fell. The chains clanked, and two terror-filled voices screeched."Yvonne!""Yvonne!"Time felt like it had come to a standstill. Then, I heard noise. More specifically, a cacophony of shouts. Sometimes, I would hear men arguing. Sometimes, I would hear someone shouting that it was snowing.I woke up on the day of the first snow in winter. Shawn's head was resting on the edge of my bed. He was fast asleep, but the tiniest rustle woke him.When he noticed I had regained consciousness, all the grogginess in his eyes disappeared. The edges of his eyes went red immediately. He held my hand tightly, and his voice was dry and raspy. "You're finally awake."My eyes were empty and bereft of emotions as I stared at him, unblinking and unmoving.His smile froze before it slowly died down. "I can explain. Yes, I hired those vagrants, but I only wanted to scare you. I just wanted you to come back to Imperia. I didn't think they would…"Agony
