Chapter one

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Campbell, but she was brought in too late. We did everything we could.”The doctor's voice was careful, remorseful and already defeated.“No.” Natalie shook her head hard. “No. That's not…” Her words sounded like a broken record. “You're lying.”Her hands trembled as she staggered back, disbelief hollowing out her chest. A second passed, then another and then something inside her snapped.She screamed, lunging forward, her fingers clutching the doctor's coat.“You're lying,” she screamed, the sound came out raw, broken and unrecognisable. “My daughter can't be dead.”Parker, who'd been standing just behind her, rushed in, trying to pry her hands loose, murmuring her name and apologising to the doctor as he pulled her back.Natalie barely registered him. She let go of the doctor’s coat and began to fumble at the bloodstained jeans she was wearing, her hands frantic as she searched for her phone. It wasn't there.“Parker,” she gasped. “Your phone. Give me your phone.H

Chapter two

The music in the background was loud as Jake Campbell stared at his phone.Natalie..Again.His jaw tightened slightly as he looked at the screen.Why was she calling him?She had not called him in a long time. Not like before. Back then, whenever he did not come home, she would blow up his phone endlessly until he snapped and turned it off. She had cried, pleaded, accused. She had made it unbearable.He had put a stop to that.He had warned her..clearly and firmly..that she was never to call him unless it had something to do with their daughter.So this had to be about Skylar.Maybe Natalie needed him to attend another parents-teacher meeting on Skylar’s behalf again. She was always asking him to show up, always acting like it mattered.Jake leaned back against the leather seat of the VIP lounge, ignoring the call.The club was packed. The lights were dim and expensive-looking, casting flashes of gold and red across the room. The table in front of them was cluttered with bottles and g

Chapter three

Jake paced outside Selena’s ward, hands running through his hair as his steps traced the same short stretch of the hallway over and over again.He told himself he was worried about Selena..But that was not the truth.It was Natalie.The image of her storming into the club replayed in his mind, over and over. Her face. Her voice. The way she had looked at him like she had already detached herself from everything he was.Why was she like that all of a sudden?Why had she suddenly asked for a divorce?“What’s gotten into her?” he muttered under his breath.Yes, he had not gone home for days, but that was not unusual. There were times he stayed out for days at a stretch, spending time with Selena and Joey. That had always been how things were. Natalie had never reacted the way she did tonight. She never caused scenes. She never embarrassed him.She worried instead..She asked if he was okay…if he had eaten..If he was coming home soon.That was the Natalie he knew. The Natalie who waited.A

Chapter four

Natalie woke up to sharp, uncomfortable pain.It cut through her body in slow waves, settling deep in her abdomen, radiating outward until even breathing felt like work. Her eyelids fluttered, heavy, uncooperative. When she finally managed to open them, the white lights overhead stabbed at her vision, forcing a soft groan from her throat.The room swam in her vision.She blinked several times, tears gathering automatically as her eyes struggled to adjust. Gradually, shapes began to form. The outlines of machines. A chair.. A familiar figure slumped beside the bed.Parker.He sat close to her, head tilted awkwardly to the side, arms crossed tightly over his chest. His breathing was shallow but steady. He had fallen asleep there, clearly exhausted.Natalie tried to shift, attempting to sit up, but pain flared instantly and forced her back down. She stilled, biting back a sound, not wanting to wake him.He had been through enough today.He had been by her side the entire time. If not for

Chapter five

“Are you sure you don’t want us to go in with you?” Mrs. Halleyways asked worriedly.“It’s fine, Mom. I’ll be okay.” Natalie gently patted her mother’s hand. “There are some of mine and Skylar’s things I need to take.”“Okay. We’ll be waiting outside,” her mother nodded.Her father said nothing. He stood by the car, arms crossed.Natalie turned and looked at the house she once called home..the house where she had once believed she would raise her children, pouring all her love and heart into it.As she took a step toward the gate, the heaviness in her chest nearly made her turn back. But this..everything..needed to be settled once and for all.The house was quiet when she stepped inside. She glanced around. No one was home. Of course. Jake was with his lover again.She shook her head and climbed the stairs quickly.When she reached their room..the room where she and Skylar used to sleep..she packed a few things hurriedly, throwing them into the bag she’d brought.She had spent two mor
