Kiara

“He knows I have cancer,” I told Thomas when he came to pick me up.

He frowned and helped me stand from the cold steps where I had been sitting. When Jake walked into the house, I knew I couldn’t stay in the same place as him. I asked Thomas to hurry and come get me, and he arrived as soon as he could. In the meantime, I had to wait for him outside the house.

Breathing the same air as Jake suffocated me. It filled my lungs with resentment, anger, and the love I wanted to forget.

“What?”

“He asked me if I have cancer. He knows. How does he know? Did you tell him?” I accused, while he helped me get into the car.

“No, I didn’t tell him anything.”

“Then how does he know?”

“Kiara, I don’t know, but I didn’t open my mouth.”

I didn’t want to think Thomas was the one who told his brother that I have cancer, but he was the only person who knew. The only person I trusted aside from my sister, who lives out of town.

“You’re the only one who knows about this.”

Thomas looked hurt.

    JakeMom said the words, and for a second, everything inside me froze.A knot tightened in my chest, and Kiara’s pain flashed in my mind.Mom watched me, and I quickly replaced my expression of surprise with a calm one. I didn’t want her to think this affected me, because it didn’t. Whatever happened to Kiara was none of my concern. I didn’t care.Yet the feeling was still there.I decided to ignore it.“So, will they be moving here soon?” I turned my back on her.“Yes. Until they find a house suitable for them. It needs to be a spacious house for my grandchildren.”I turned around.“Don’t call them that,” I snapped.Mom stayed calm, but narrowed her eyes.“They are my grandchildren, Jake. And whether you like it or not, they are your nephews.”I let out a humorless laugh.“I don’t have a brother.”“When will you stop being so stubborn? Both of you, because your brother is just like you. You’re both stubborn and don’t care about family.”“That’s not it. It’s the betrayal. He didn’t ca

    Jake When that intrusive question escaped my lips, Kiara stiffened. I waited for her to turn and face me, but she didn’t. Her breathing quickened, sharper than before. A second later, she kept walking toward the exit. She couldn’t bear being in the same room as me, and honestly, I couldn’t stand her either. Maybe she couldn’t confront the guilt of what she did to me. She slept with my brother. She got pregnant. With twins. If anyone had to feel uncomfortable and leave the house, it should’ve been her. Not me. This house wasn’t for traitors like her and Thomas, but Mom made the mistake of welcoming them. In some twisted way, my mother chose to forgive Thomas for what he did, but not me, not for separating from Kiara, and not for getting involved with Irina. But I didn’t do anything wrong. I only did what they had already done to me after they both betrayed me. Before that, my loyalty to Kiara had always been spotless. I never betrayed her. I never looked at another woman. I never

    Kiara I felt the burning rise up my throat the moment I faced Jake. I stood up from the chair and rushed out of the room. Thomas ran after me down the hallways. I entered the women’s restroom, and he followed me to hold my hair back. I threw up mercilessly. My hands were shaking, and I could barely stay on my feet. “This is going to start happening now,” I murmured. “Is it because of the chemotherapy?” “I think so, but I’m not sure. Or maybe it’s from seeing them. They make me nauseous,” I replied. I had to go back home while Thomas stayed for the rest of the meeting. Jake and Thomas’s mother, Juliette, wasn’t there either because she wasn’t feeling well. Thomas left me at his mother’s house, both of them facing the same illness. But I didn’t want her to know what I had, so I focused on taking care of her while she rested in her room. I sat in front of the TV, thinking about the weakness the doctor said would soon overwhelm my body. It wasn’t the best moment to get pregnant, b

    Jake One of the most impulsive decisions I ever made was divorcing Kiara. The second was getting involved with her sister. The third was marrying Irina. We had just gotten married in secret. I managed to get a last-minute appointment at the civil registry so we could get married before the meeting where Kiara and Thomas would be present. I wanted to rub it in Kiara’s face, show her that it hadn’t been hard for me to move on, just as it hadn’t been hard for her. I wanted to prove that I didn’t suffer. That it didn’t hurt. That I didn’t care about what she had done, or the fact that she was pregnant with my brother’s children. But for some reason, deep down, it didn’t feel right. The meeting was about to start. I was late, but when I walked into the office, Kiara was already there. Alone. Without Thomas hovering around her. When Thomas came in and sat beside her, I felt such rage that I couldn’t stop myself from telling them that Irina and I were planning to have a baby. Si

    KiaraI nervously clutched the strap of my designer handbag, the one Thomas had given me last month after I began my chemotherapy treatment.Mornings were the hardest. I hadn’t had too many symptoms from the treatment yet. Still, the mornings were difficult, worse than I’d expected. The nausea wouldn’t let me get out of bed. I always needed a moment to fully recover.That’s how I fell in love with Thomas. He was always there for me. It didn’t matter if it was late at night; he was wonderful company. I didn’t fall in love because of expensive gifts; I fell in love because he proved to be more than his brother ever was.“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked, standing at the doorway.“Yes. You helped me for a long time. Now it’s my turn to help you,” I repeated, though I didn’t feel sure at all.Thomas drove to the company. The turmoil in my stomach wouldn’t let me think clearly. I didn’t know if it was from the treatment, the babies, or the nerves about seeing Jake.“I don’t want
