Anniversary Betrayal

Leona stood in front of the full-length mirror in the bedroom, fixing the strap of her red dress. It was soft and silky under her fingers, the color bold but warm. She had picked it out days ago, thinking of him. He used to love red. Used to say it made her look strong and soft at the same time. Maybe he still thought that. Maybe tonight he’d say it again.She gave herself one last look. Her hair was done, her makeup light, just the way he liked it. She touched the small silver earrings he gave her on their fifth anniversary. It felt like a lifetime ago.The clock on the wall read 8:23 p.m.He was late.Leona walked out of the room and into the dining area, heels clicking softly against the hardwood floor. The table was already set. Two plates. Two wine glasses. A bottle of red wine waited in a silver holder. She bent over the last candle in the center and lit it carefully. The small flame danced and threw soft light across the table.The room looked perfect. The food was still warm.

What Love Cost Her

Her chest hurt, not the kind of pain you could point at, not the kind that made you cry out or clutch your side, it was worse than that, it sat deeper, somewhere under her ribs, inside her lungs, around her heart, like something heavy and cold that wouldn’t move no matter how hard she breathed.She stayed still in the car, hands on the steering, rain tapping on the windshield, her coat soaked, her hair stuck to her neck, her face warm from the tears she didn’t even know had fallen, and all she could do was sit there and feel it, feel everything, all at onceAnd the worst part, the part that made the pain twist even more, wasn’t just the betrayal, it wasn’t the woman on his lap or the words he said like they meant nothing, no, the worst part was knowing she had given up everything for him, her time, her dreams, her heart, her voice, her light, piece by piece until there was barely anything left to give.Leona let her eyes fall shut, just for a second, just to escape, but the memories c

Hurt

Leona stepped into the house, drenched from head to toe, her hair stuck to her face, her red dress soaked and clinging to her legs, her heels making soft, squishing sounds as she walked across the tiled floor, leaving little puddles behind her with every step, she didn’t stop to take off her shoes, didn’t bother to grab a towel or turn on the lights, the silence in the house didn’t calm her, it only made everything louder inside her chest.Her fingers trembled as she let go of her purse, it dropped onto the nearest chair without care, water dripping off its edge, the cold air in the house wrapped around her but it wasn’t the kind of cold that made you shiver, it was the kind that came from inside, from everything crashing down at once, from truths that cut deeper than any storm.She didn’t make it far, only a step or two in when she heard voices, like nothing was wrong, like everything was normal.Her eyes narrowed as she turned toward the living room.There, on the couch, sat Dorian’

The Other Family

The sun was already high, golden light pouring through the windows, but to Leona, it still felt like night, like the darkness hadn’t left, not from the sky, not from her heart, everything still felt cold and heavy, like the weight of the day before had followed her into the morning.She hadn’t slept, not even for a second, her body was tired, her eyes burned from crying, but her chest burned more.She stood in the living room, arms crossed over her chest, her bare feet freezing against the tile, her eyes staring at the cold tea on the table, the cup she didn’t touch last night, the one her mother-in-law drank from.Her heart beat louder the longer she stood there, like it was warning her, like it knew something was about to happen, and then it did.The front door opened.She didn’t move, didn’t breathe, the sound of the door swinging shut echoed through the house like a slapThen she heard footsteps, and voices. Then she saw themDorian stepped into the house like it belonged to him,

The Last Goodbye

Two days had gone by since that night, since everything broke open like glass under her feet, since the lies became too loud to ignore, since Dorian showed her the family he had built outside the one he promised her, and still, the house was quiet, like even the walls were holding their breath.Leona sat in the kitchen, the light from the small window falling across her face, a cold cup of coffee sitting untouched in front of her, the surface dark, the steam long gone, just like the warmth that used to live in this home, she hadn’t touched it. Her cheek still aching from the slap Dorian gave her, but the pain didn’t sting the way it did before, now it sat there, dull and distant, like a reminder she had already learned to live with.She hadn’t cried again. Not since that night.She thought she would, she thought the tears would come and drown her, but they never did, something inside her had dried up, not like something dying, but like something preparing to burn, and all that was le

Real Comeback

The air was thick with the smell of rain, but the storm hadn’t come yet.Leona walked down the road, her heels clicking softly against the pavement. She didn’t care that the hem of her coat was soaked or that the wind kept tugging at her hair. The sky was heavy, grey with clouds, but she kept walking, her eyes fixed forward, not once looking back.She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone with fingers that were still trembling, not from fear, but from something deeper... resolve.Her thumb hovered over the number for just a second before she pressed it. It rang once.Twice.“Miss Leona?” a voice answered, careful, unsure.She swallowed the lump in her throat. “James,” she said, her voice low but clear, “Book me a flight. I’m coming home.”There was a pause.Then a soft breath from the other end. “Of course, Miss. I’ll have the car waiting.”The call ended, but the sound of it lingered in her ears. She looked up at the sky and finally felt the first drop of rain on her cheek

Blue Eyes

ONE YEAR LATERLeona finally let out a deep breath, the kind she hadn’t taken in a long time. One year ago, everything had crumbled. Now, everything felt right again.Her father’s company, once nearly gone, was back on top. The long nights, skipped meals, and days she cried silently in the office, it all paid off. She had done it. Not for anyone else, just for herself and her father. Her father was doing better too. The doctors said he was responding well to treatment. That gave her more peace than anything else.Lately, she had also reconnected with Adrian Wolfe. Her old friend. Her business partner now. He had been a huge help the past few months, even from afar. Their calls had gone from formal to familiar again.This morning, the sun was bright, casting a warm glow across the wide windows of her bedroom. Leona rolled out of bed, stretched, and smiled to herself.Today felt like a good day.She slipped into a soft beige blouse and a pair of cream-colored pants, tying her hair back

Not The Same Woman

It’s been a few days now since Leona and Adrian had dinner together.The morning sun peeked through her curtains as Leona stood in front of her mirror, tying her hair back into a ponytail. Her dark brown eyes looked focused, determined. Today was an important day, she had a meeting with the board of directors.She slipped into a navy-blue suit and grabbed her folder before walking out of her room. Mr. James greeted her at the bottom of the stairs.“Good morning, Miss Leona. Your car is ready,” he said with a polite smile.“Thank you, Mr. James. And please have some tea ready for my dad. He likes it warm,” she replied, returning the smile.On the ride to the office, she stared out of the window, quietly going over her presentation in her head. The driver gave her a glance through the rearview mirror.“Big day, ma'am?” He asked.She smiled. “Very big, Thomas.”Upon entering the meeting room, the quiet buzz of conversation died down. Everyone sat up straight, eyes following her as she wa

His Child

After her peaceful moment at the park, Leona stood up from the swing and dusted off her workout pants. The morning air had done her some good, but her heart still carried a quiet ache. She walked back to her car, her driver quickly stepping out to open the door for her."Where to, ma'am?" he asked politely."Let’s stop by the mall. I want to pick up a few things for dinner. I’m cooking for Dad tonight," she replied, sliding into the backseat.The driver nodded, and soon they were on their way.Inside the mall, Leona grabbed a shopping basket and walked through the grocery section. The soft sound of the background music played above her as she passed by fresh vegetables, fruits, and spices. Her fingers brushed over tomatoes, onions, some herbs, and packs of pasta. She took her time, carefully choosing the best items.She had just turned into another aisle when something small and fast ran into her leg. A soft thud."Auntie!" a little voice shouted.Leona froze. Her breath caught in her

Let Someone In

Leona stepped out of the shower the next morning, wrapping a towel around her damp hair. Her eyes were tired even after a full night of sleep. She sat on the edge of her bed and reached for her phone.No messages. She wasn't sure why she expected any.A minute later, her phone buzzed. Adrian Wolfe.She stared at the screen for a second before picking it up."Good morning," she said, trying to keep her voice light."Morning, Leona," Adrian's smooth voice came through. "Hope I didn’t wake you.""No, I’m up.""Good. I was thinking we should go over the rollout plan for the campaign again. There's a slight change I want your thoughts on."She paused. "We could do it over the phone.""True, but it’s better in person. I thought maybe lunch? My treat."There was a beat of silence."Strictly business, of course," he added, teasing.She exhaled a soft laugh. "Okay. Where?""There’s a quiet spot near your office. La Taverna. One o'clock?""Alright. I’ll be there.""Great. See you soon."Leona s
