CHAPTER 101

The next morning, the nurse came into my room with the warmest smile with news that I had been dying to hear for days. “You’re being discharged today, Ms Sienna.” She said, sounding even more excited for me than I was. “Awww, thank God, finally!” I exclaimedFor a moment, I almost didn’t believe her. After being stuck in that haunting white room, with the constant beeping of machines and the shuffle of people's feet in the hallway, I had almost convinced myself I was trapped here. The news brought me so much relief I almost shedded a tear or two out of excitement and joy. Finally,I was going home.The only thing was that, “home” wasn’t Dante’s house anymore. It had become just a building that suffocated me with the daunting reality of everything falling apart.When my mom arrived to pick me up with Abigail, I hugged her so tightly. No one else but me could understand the joy I was feeling. And my beautiful baby girl, knowing I could finally be with her again, reminded me of how much

CHAPTER 102

Days passed by and I still hadn’t reached out to Dante. I also got no word from him. He didn't check in or leave a message. I tried to convince myself that the investigation, or whatever was happening at his company, demanded all his attention and I should give him some space to sort it out also. But as the hours turned into days, and the days into nearly a week, everything started to feel very real and I couldn't continue to ignore it. I tried to distract myself more often looking after Abigail even though I didn't have to bother with my mom’s constant care and my sister taking care of her as well. But no matter what I did, my mind always wandered back to him.By the fourth evening, I couldn’t take it anymore. My chest felt heavy with questions that refused to let me rest. I needed answers!I picked up my phone and proceeded to text Dante, ignoring my trembling fingers as I typed. ME: “I’ve been discharged. I’m at my parents’ house with Abigail. Just in case you care to visit.”As

CHAPTER 103

I sat there, staring at the envelope in my trembling hands. Something about the way it was perfectly sealed and deliberately hidden, made me even more anxious and curious about the content of it. My instincts were pushing me to put it back, pretend I never found it, walk out of the study, close the door, and forget this moment ever happened. But I couldn’t.If Dante wouldn’t give me answers, I would dig them out of the silence by myself. “God, forgive me,” I whispered, like I was about to commit a crime. And maybe I was. Maybe invading Dante’s privacy like this was a betrayal and I felt guilty. But didn't he betray me first?I ripped the seal and slid the contents of the envelope out. They were some pictures. I felt a sharp pain in my chest the moment I saw the first one. It was Dante with a woman. Her face was turned slightly away from the angle the picture was taken but I recognized her. It was the same woman he was dancing at a club with in that Instagram story post. She was the

CHAPTER 104

The previous night, I could barely sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, the images I found in Dante’s study came flooding back. I turned restlessly under the blanket, staring at the ceiling, silently begging myself to stop thinking about it. But my mind wouldn’t let it go. The only brief relief I got was when Abigail came into my bed early in the morning and laid down beside me with her tiny hands resting on my baby bump. Her presence was calm and soothing, but it didn’t erase everything that was going on.By the time I managed to get out of bed and get ready for my ante-natal check-up, my heart felt like lead. I had to force myself to fake a smile for Abigail before leaving, kissing her forehead and telling her I’d be back soon. But the truth was, I hated going to the hospital so much. Every visit reminded me of how fragile this pregnancy was. Every visit to the hospital ever since I conceived has brought one bad revelation after the other and something in my gut told me it wasn’t goi

CHAPTER 105

The days dragged on slowly with each passing day reminding me of all the pain I was going through both physically, emotionally and most especially, mentally. I felt heavy, both in body and spirit. My mother had left early to volunteer at the home for the elderly, Daphne had taken Abigail out for ice cream, and my father was away on another one of his business trips that kept him more absent than present in our lives. The house was too quiet,it almost gave me the feeling that I was in a haunted house. I laid on the couch, lazily watching TV when the doorbell rang.The sound jolted me upright, and my heart raced for no reason. I frowned, assuming it was probably Daphne back with Abigail, or maybe my mom returning earlier than expected. Dragging myself off the couch, I walked over to get the door, not even bothering to look in the mirror to see how worn-out I looked.I was surprised to see Marcus standing there the moment I opened the door. “Marcus?” I said, gasping, almost not believi
