CRACKING AT THE SEAMS

ALINAThe sound of the doorbell forced me to move hastily. I wondered who was there. My ivory white tee was hurriedly dragged over my still wet hair, and I rushed down the stairs.One glance through the peephole and shock froze me to the spot. I forced a fake smile on my face and pulled the door open."Hello, Mrs. Stewart," I offered a polite greeting to my mother-in-law, then faced her daughters. "Hi Beni, Hi Beth."All three pairs of eyes strolled with disdain over my casual outfit. "I see you still dress like the poor thing that you are," Beni commented, and Beth snorted."You can't take the wretch out of her, can you?"They both giggled like they had just made incredible jokes.Mrs. Stewart pushed into the foyer, and her mean daughters followed suit. I was well aware that they didn't like me. They never had, and it especially made it worse that I once used to work in the hotel their brother and son threw his graduation party in before we fell in love and got married. I was poor,

MY POOR HEART

ALINA"What? He didn’t say anything?" Tatiana asked, the disbelief she felt evident in her voice.I sighed, unable to hold back the feeling of sadness I'd been cloaked in since Zach's mother and sisters visited us yesterday."No. He laughed alongside them.""That's very unlike the Zach I know. You guys have been together for 10 years.""Maybe he blames me for our inability to have a child yet." I murmured."Why would you say that?" Tatiana scolded. "Did he say or do anything to make you believe that?"I exhaled a weary sigh. "His mom scolded me for butting in, and then he got mad at me, saying that I shouldn't speak to her that way."Her fingers closed over my own, giving them a delicate squeeze. "Oh sweetie, don't get upset over it. He's probably just frustrated.""Since when do you like Zach?" I asked my best friend.She laughed. "I don't like Zach, but he has treated you right for so many years, and I am grateful to him."I let out another heavy sigh. "What do you think I should do

BIG DIVIDE

ALINAA whole month had gone by since the rug was pulled out from under my feet, and I had yet to make a decision. I still lingered about the house, doing all of the things that I was used to and playing the doting wife even though I knew that somehow I had lost Zach.Call me psycho, but 10 years was too much to just flush down the drain like it never existed. Zach was my heart and soul. My life practically revolved around him, and just the thought of walking away from what we shared made my insides burn."What do you think you're doing?" Mandy's voice sounded like thunder, violent enough to force me out of my moping thoughts.I turned around to face her. "Excuse me?"She gestured with her hands to the open doorway of the kitchen where she lingered. "You're quite excused, sweetheart. If I were you, I would sign those papers and leave already. This battle is already lost."The sadness I'd been feeling gave way to instant anger. "There's no battle, Mandy. Zach is my husband."She let ou

NEW START?

ALINAI had already called Tatiana about the drama I'd been living in, urging her to stay still while I handled it all the times that she threatened to come help straighten things out with Mandy and Zach. Tonight, I called her once again. Before I signed the papers that completely altered the course of my life and before I packed my things.As soon as my car rolled into her driveway, the front door was pulling open, and she was racing out to meet me. My tears continued their free fall as she helped me out of the car and wrapped me up in her arms."I'm so sorry, Lina. That jerk and his snake bride!" Her words are filled with venom. She pulled away from the hug, and her eyes scanned my face, anger forming in their brown depths. "Did that bastard hit you? I'm so calling the cops on him."I sniffled and laughed a little. Despite my broken heart, I was amused by how quickly she switched from wanting me to work things out to hating the man."You're still laughing? Should I dial the asylum?"

SEXY HELL

ALINAAn excited laugh spilled past my lips as I twirled to the beat of the music, my hips swayed in rotating movements, my hands stuck in the thick tresses of my hair. I had never done this before, and I absolutely loved the wildness that came with the atmosphere. The erratic beat of the music coupled with the layers of alcohol that burned in my bloodstream left me feeling ecstatic. Thirst beat at my throat and I walked back to the bar I was perched at as soon as the current music came to an end. As soon as I pulled onto the stool in front of the bar, a glass of water was placed in front of me alongside a plate of nuts and a glass of cocktail.I raised a brow at the bartender and he inclined his head upward. "The gentleman in blue wanted me to give you these. Says they're courtesy of your angelic looks."I raised my head and found a pair of very piercing blue eyes looking back at me. He tipped his glass in the air, a silent salute. My lips stretched in a smile and I returned the g

HURTFUL

ALINAMy heart was in my throat, and every single one of the nurses in the emergency unit currently had their eyes trained on me. I forced a huge gulp of air down my nose and spoke up.“M… me?” My words stuttered even though I’d been intending to sound in control.The look on Theon’s face didn’t waver even slightly; his eyes still burned with anger and at this point I wasn’t sure if it was directed at me or the other nurses gathered around.“Did I stutter?” His voice was harsh, cutting through the air like a flash of lightning.“No, The…” I paused, realizing my mistake. “Mr. Murphy, I apologize but I will have to decline that offer.”Tatiana grabbed hold of my arm and shook me slightly. “What the hell are you doing?”I ignored her, pulling my arm out of her grasp.“Mr. Murphy, Alina just started here and is not yet verified to take on jobs outside the hospital where she cannot be supervised.” Jess took a step forward, drawing Theon’s attention away from me and back to herself. “You ca
