Chapter 5 Absurd

Author: The Handsome Guy
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.

  • Twice Cast Aside   Chapter 8 We're Done

    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

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

    I was thunderstruck. The pain in my chest robbed me of air so quickly that I could barely breathe. When I opened my mouth, he clenched my chin."Do you like biting yourself that much? Cecelia's right. You really are having an affair with him."His fury burned right in front of me, stripped of all the warmth he used to show me. Blood trickled down the corners of my mouth. Everything was fading to black, and I fainted.…When I woke up, I found myself chained to a bed. Cecelia was right beside the bed, smiling as she served a hot brew."Shawn said you were too excited, so he wanted you to drink this."There was no one else in the room, so Cecelia no longer bothered pretending. She grabbed my hair and forced my head back.I held back the pain as much as I could and asked in a trembling voice, "I've always treated you well. Why…"She clenched my chin and suddenly burst into laughter. "Why? Because you're a fool! You're an idiot for so eagerly showing me kindness! I hate the arrogan

  • Twice Cast Aside   Chapter 3 Cruel Shawn

    I took my seat, and he slid a phone over."What is this?"Donald paused for a moment, perhaps hesitating, but in the end, he unlocked the phone. One look at the screen was all it took. I started shivering uncontrollably.The screen showed Shawn standing in a shadowed alley, cigarette in hand, handing money to a group of rough-looking men. Donald noticed my stunned silence and adjusted his glasses. "He's far crueler than I am. Yes, I did kick you out, but he's the one who paid those vagrants to defile you. He would do anything just to get you, even at the cost of destroying you."Every word he spoke dragged a nightmare back into my mind. Twisted, haggard, hideous. Jeers, mocking laughter, and my body's agony ringing loudly in my mind. I was taken back to the moment where my unborn child was lost."Enough!" I roared as I stood up, and I had to gulp in large mouthfuls of air just to breathe. My face felt ice-cold. I could not tell whether my tears came from the pain of that nig
