Ch.91 Fuck all of you

MadelynSeeing the engagement news hit me in a way I didn’t prepare for, even though I should have. I was the one who asked for the divorce, I was the one who begged Dominic to sign the papers and let me go, so standing there with my phone in my hand, staring at his face beside Leana’s, smiling that careful public smile, felt like some kind of sick joke. My chest tightened and I laughed under my breath, not because it was funny but because my body didn’t know what else to do with the hurt. I scrolled past the photo, then scrolled back, like maybe I imagined it the first time, like maybe if I stared long enough the words engagement announcement would rearrange themselves into something less final.They didn’t.I tossed the phone onto the couch and pressed my palms into my eyes, breathing out slowly. I asked for this, Madelyn, I reminded myself. You wanted him to move on. You wanted him safe, settled, out of the mess that followed you everywhere. So why did it feel like someone had reac

Ch. 92 Hospital Visit

MadelynThe pain hit before I even opened my eyes.It came sharp and low, ripping through my lower abdomen like someone had grabbed something inside me and twisted hard without warning. My breath left my body in a shaky rush, and I curled instinctively, knees drawing up, hand pressing down as if I could physically hold whatever was tearing apart in place. I stayed like that for a moment, forehead against the pillow, listening to my own breathing sound too loud in my ears.“Not now,” I muttered hoarsely. “Please, not now.”The pain eased just enough for me to move, but it didn’t disappear. It stayed there, pulsing, reminding me it existed. I rolled onto my back slowly and stared at the ceiling, blinking until the room stopped spinning. The clock on my bedside table glowed faintly. Morning. Of course it was morning. My body always had the worst timing.I swung my legs off the bed carefully, testing my weight like I didn’t trust myself. When I stood, another wave rolled through me and I

Ch.93 Hospital Visit

DominicA message came in while I was standing by the window in my office, watching traffic crawl below like it always did at that hour. It buzzed itself quiet against the glass desk, stared out at the street a little longer, then finally picked it up.It was from the investigator.I dropped into my chair instead, rolled my shoulders since it felt so stiff from working all night. The file loaded slowly, the spinning circle mocking me while my patience wore thin. When it finally opened, the first thing I saw was a name I hadn’t expected to feel so heavy.Conrad Kane.I leaned back and let out a breath I didn’t remember holding. My thumb hovered over the screen, scrolling without really reading at first, just letting the weight of it settle. I read properly this time.They had been seeing each other longer than I thought. Not just before Leana and I became official, but after. The investigator didn’t spell it out in bold letters, but he didn’t need to. The timing sat there between the l

Ch. 94 Conrad Kane child

DominicMy investigator sat across from me, quiet, his hands folded, his eyes not meeting mine.“It’s conclusive,” he said.I nodded once, slow, like my neck needed time to accept the instruction my brain was giving it. My chest felt tight, not painful, just heavy, like something had settled there and decided to stay.“So?” I asked, even though I already knew.He slid the folder toward me. I didn’t open it immediately. I stared at the edge of the paper, the neatness of it, how ordinary it looked for something that had the power to ruin so much.“The child isn’t yours,” he said. “There’s no room for doubt.”For a second, I couldn't breathe. Then it hit, sharp and sudden, like air rushing back into lungs that had been underwater too long.I let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding and rubbed a hand down my face. My palm came away damp. Sweat, maybe. Or just the weight of everything I had swallowed these past months finally finding a way out.Not mine.I should have felt victor

Ch.95: Pregnant?

MadelynThe ride to the clinic felt longer than it should have. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary, knuckles white, my foot tapping lightly on the accelerator even though traffic was crawling. I kept thinking about the appointment, the results, the waiting. Every bump on the road jolted me, my stomach twisting in a way that had nothing to do with the car.I parked, lingering a second in the car, trying to calm my racing thoughts. Deep breaths. In and out. Deep. In. Out. I stared at the clinic building, white walls bright in the morning sun, sterile and uninviting, and wondered how something so ordinary could make me feel like I was walking into a courtroom instead of a medical office.Inside, the smell hit me immediately: antiseptic, faint perfume of someone trying to cover it, and the distant hum of a waiting room TV. People sat scattered in plastic chairs, some scrolling on their phones, some staring blankly, and some talking quietly to each other. I tried to

Ch.96: Accident

DominicI drove home to pick up a few things, then notified Leana to leave with her son before I got back. I was going to get my wife back. But she walked in just then, I had left her at the hotel room earlier… She got here faster than expected.I brushed past her without a word, it was closure for us.The moment I slammed the door behind me, the sound of it echoing in the apartment, I felt every nerve in my body on fire. My hands shook, my chest burned, and my jaw ached from clenching. Leana had that smug little look on her face as if she knew I had just realized the depth of her lies. As if she thrived on watching me unravel.I didn’t even wait to argue. I stomped down the stairs, two at a time, my boots slamming against the concrete. The city felt louder than usual, horns blaring, people shouting, the wind whipping past me like it was trying to shake me down. “Watch it,” I growled, my voice hoarse.I jumped into my car, slammed the door, and the engine roared to life. My hands gri

Ch. 97 Emergency

MadelynI was still holding the pregnancy test results as I drove off, my fingers tight around it like if I loosened my grip it would disappear and take the truth with it. The divorce papers were beside me on the passenger seat, slightly folded from where I had shoved them there without care, I kept glancing at them, then back at the road, then down at my hand again, like all of it was a bad joke and if I looked away long enough it would correct itself.The drive to the hotel felt longer than it was. Every red light annoyed me. Every slow car in front of me made my chest tighten. My mind would not settle. I kept rehearsing what I was supposed to say to Dominic, then stopping halfway because none of it made sense anymore. Divorce or pregnancy. Pregnancy or divorce. Which one do you lead with when your whole life is already falling apart?I parked in front of the hotel and just sat there. The engine was still running, the faint vibration traveling up my legs. I stared straight ahead thr

Ch.98 Who are you?

MadelynLilian arrived not long after I had settled into the stiff plastic chair outside the operating room, I heard her before I saw her, her voice breaking somewhere between the elevator and the hallway, calling Dominic’s name as if he could hear her through walls and machines. When I looked up, my chest tightened because Leana was right beside her, holding her arm like she belonged there, like this was her place to stand. Her son in the nanny's hand who's walking a little behind them.Leana’s eyes met mine and held. There was no shock there, no question, just a sharp look that cut straight through me, like she had been waiting to find me here and was almost satisfied that I was looking miserable. I stood up immediately, my legs moving before my mind could catch up, because suddenly I felt like I needed to explain myself even though I had done nothing wrong. Lilian reached me first, collapsing into my arms with a sob that shook both of us, and for a moment Leana disappeared from my

Ch.99 My second chance

LeanaMadelyn didn’t say anything after Dominic asked who she was. She stood there for a moment, eyes fixed on him like she was waiting for something to change, like she expected him to suddenly recognize her and laugh it off. When that didn’t happen, she turned around and walked out of the ward quietly. The door closed behind her without anyone stopping her, and the room felt lighter in a way I didn’t want to question too deeply.Dominic’s hand was still in mine. He shifted on the bed and looked around slowly, like he was trying to place everything, the machines, the white walls, the worried faces hovering too close. His eyes came back to me, and he frowned slightly.“Why did she look at me like that?” he asked.I didn’t rush my answer. I had learned a long time ago that hesitation invited suspicion, but calm confidence could rewrite almost anything. “You’ve been through a lot,” I said. “People are emotional.”He nodded, accepting that easily, then glanced toward the door again befor

Ch.100 A step backward

MadelynThe TV flickered in the corner of the company reception, a soft glow against the polished marble. I didn’t mean to look, but there he was. Dominic, smiling with Leana on his arm, cameras flashing around them, laughing like the world belonged to them both. My stomach twisted.I gripped my bag strap tighter, the leather cutting into my palm. His suit was perfect, his hair slicked back, his hand resting lightly on hers as if she had always belonged there, it must be an old clip. The way he laughed made my chest ache. I leaned against the reception counter, trying not to draw attention. Everyone else ignored the screen. To them, this was just another story about a celebrity and a business guru; to me, it was the brutal reminder that the man who used to know me, who I had held through unconscious nights, didn’t remember me at all, and he looked so completely fine.I sank into the stiff reception chair, ignoring the clerk’s glance. The room smelled faintly of brewed coffee and print
