Chapter 001: Renal Failure

001.|• DELORESI have THREE months left to live.I HAVE three MONTHS left to live.I HAVE THREE MONTHS LEFT TO LIVE.My vision blurred as I stared at the test results in my trembling hands. The words on the paper danced before my eyes, refusing to make sense.“Mrs. Aaron,” the doctor’s voice broke through the ringing in my ears calmly, “you’re at the final stage of renal failure, specifically, the end stage. Your kidneys are functioning at less than ten percent. Without a transplant or dialysis, you might have around—”“Three months left,” I completed, the tears I was fighting back rolling down my cheeks.Three months. Just three months to breathe, to live.I pressed my lips together, trying to smile like it didn’t hurt. Like I wasn’t falling apart inside.The doctor looked at me with pity. “We can begin dialysis immediately. It’ll help prolong—”“No.” The word came out sharper than I intended. My chest heaved as I lowered the results onto the table. “I’ve spent half my life pretendi

Chapter 002: This is how I die

002.|• DELORESShock was an understatement for how I was feeling as I stared at the woman that was supposed to be my mother. She didn’t care. She didn’t care that I was going to die. All she wanted—all she ever wanted—was my money.I chuckled and looked up at the ceiling, heaving a deep breath to control the tears that threatened to spill down my cheeks.Relax, Delores.Breathe. One. Two. Breathe.“Wow.” I faced my mother, anger coursing through my veins despite my best attempts to stay calm. “You never really cared about me. All you want is my money, right?”“Oh please, don’t be such a drama queen,” she snorted, staring at her perfectly manicured nails. That action prompted me to look at mine and I couldn’t help laughing hysterically. My fingers were skinny. Coupled with that were my chapped nails, due to the constant times I had bitten them over and over again because of anxiety and depression.“I care about you, but now that you’re going to leave us in this cruel world, we have to

Chapter 003: A second chance

003.|• DELORESDarkness.It was the last thing I remembered.The cold, the smell of smoke, and the taste of blood on my lips. The truck’s horn still echoed somewhere deep in my mind, and Aaron’s name flashing on my cracked phone screen…Then silence.I thought that was the end.But when my eyes opened again, I wasn’t surrounded by twisted metal or the sound of sirens. I was lying on a soft bed. The air smelled of antiseptic and something faintly floral. There was warm sunlight streaming in through white curtains.My head throbbed. My throat felt dry. I blinked, trying to make sense of everything.Where was I?I turned my head slowly and saw an IV line attached to my arm. My heart skipped a beat. The steady beeping of a heart monitor filled the quiet room.Was I… alive?A nurse rushed in almost immediately, her eyes widening. “Mrs. Aaron, you’re awake!”Mrs. Aaron.My stomach twisted. I knew that name too well, and it filled me with so much hurt and anger.“What… what happened?” My vo

Chapter 004: I want a divorce

004•| AARONDelores was acting differently.Something about the way she looked at me—like I was a stranger—made my chest feel tight. She had always been soft-spoken, gentle, and always excited to see me. But the woman who woke up today felt… sharper. There was a kind of aura she emanated that practically screamed stay-away-from-me.What could be the issue that made her shut me out completely?I’d been worried sick since the hospital called, saying she fainted at work and had been rushed there. The moment I saw her lying pale and still on that bed, something inside me cracked. I didn’t realize how much her silence could hurt until then.I stayed up all night beside her, watching the slow rise and fall of her chest. I wanted to be the first person she saw when she opened her eyes. I wanted to tell her how sorry I was for calling her lousy. Because I’d rather she was lousy than so pale and quiet.But when she finally woke up and the nurse called me in, I was so happy I wanted to hug her

Chapter 005: Let me go

005|• DELORESI expected him to be happy.To see a smile break across his face because I was finally giving him something he’d always wanted—something I should have given him a long time ago.Maybe it would have saved me the trouble of dying.But as I looked at Aaron, surprise surged through me. Aaron didn’t look relieved. He didn’t look excited or triumphant.He looked… broken.His eyes were wide with shock like he was still trying to process what I just said. Why wasn’t he smiling? I forced myself to hold his gaze even though every second felt like I was peeling my skin open.This was what he’s always wanted, right? This should be an opportunity for him to finally live his life, be with a lot of women like he had been without me being in his life to hold him down. I was never fit for his polished world anyway. I was nowhere near those actresses or models who come into his company in the guise of getting their outfits just so they could have a taste of him.I was finally setting him
