001 Betrayal that hurts

***~~Delilah~~***It's my birthday today but my mind's askew.My phone dings. I reach for it.It's a text from Megan.I sigh.“He's not home yet, is he?”“Not yet,”“You should go to bed, Lilah. He's a grown ass man,”“I can't,”I put my phone down and stare at the cake on the table, it looks even as tired as I am.I keep checking my phone for Soren’s calls or texts.But nothing.I shut my eyes…he didn't forget, did he?I know the answer, but it hurts to admit it. He left home early this morning, ditching breakfast like he always does.And somehow I thought…maybe he has plans for us.A surprise maybe.But the joke's on me. It's 8PM, my husband isn't home, and he's not taking my calls either.I tell myself it's nothing, that he is safe, it could be a meeting that ran late, a deadline he had to meet.Soren isn't always like this, he wasn't the most affectionate man but he was kind, he didn't make me wait.At least for a year and half after we got married.It's been three years and I c

002 Breaking point

***~~Delilah~~***Every nerve in my body is buzzing like it's been plugged into an electric fence.I don't move.Didn't even blink.My brain is trying not to combust.What the hell does he mean Ashley's pregnant?What— where do I stand?I…..I thought he said he was okay with us trying?Ashley is back, his first love and pregnant.I'm freaking out.I am so, so freaking out.Soren stands and moves to me. “I— I didn't mean for it to happen. It was a mistake,” he says placing a hand on my shoulder.I fight a snort. A mistake?No, it's not.It takes two sane people to make babies.I twist my head to glare at him. “You cheated on me, Soren. That's not a mistake,” my voice shakes.He takes my hand. “I was drunk, we both were. I…I met Ashley at Knox’s lounge. I didn't know how to tell you. But then she found out she's pregnant. I can't abandon her, Lilah. You know how hard we've been trying,”It starts to click, the call he got three nights ago, the way he hurried out that night.It wasn't

003 Cruelty disguised as sacrifice

***~~Delilah~~***I toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.Soren's still in Ashley’s room and it's unsettling.I try to keep calm, to not let it get to me but no.I sit up straighter but that's when the door creaks open.He lifts his brows. “You're still awake?” He asks, moving over to the closet. He barely even looked at me.“You— you took a while,” I force the words out.He waves me off. “Oh yeah. Was just making sure Ashley's well settled,” he says, walking into the bathroom.Right.I lean back down, pulling the sheets over me.I want to cry but I don't.Do I even have the right to?He's not throwing me out, it's crumbs but it's something.I just lay down with my thoughts a spiralling mess.I hear the door open and Soren climbing into his side of the bed.I don't turn, I just lay still.I close my eyes and that was it till.A loud knock on the door.I jerk awake, but Soren's arms are wrapped around me. I don't have time to think about it.Soren's already out of bed in no time. I

004 Just a rebound

***~~Soren Lancaster~~***The door creaks open. Knox emerges, a bottle of drink in hand.“What if Delilah leaves?” He asks, handing me a glass.“She won't,” I answer tersely.His eyes stays on me. “Everyone has a limit to what they can take, Soren.” he snorts. “Honestly I'm surprised you let Ashley waltz back into your life after jilting you. And bringing her home is wrong,”Sure, I'll admit that I never bargained for this. It was a one time mistake.A drunken misstep.But the outcome is irreversible. there's a child involved.I need this baby. It's mine just as soon as Dr Frank confirms it.Ashley's my past. She might've saved me from dying but she left and that chapter is closed.Delilah, though…?She crawled into my head and stayed there.She's home.I turn to Knox and sit up straighter. “She's carrying my child. Delilah knows what's at stake. Moreover Ashley leaves soon,”Knox studies me for a moment. He takes a slow drink, then exhales through his nose.“You make it sound simpl

005 I don't belong in his world

***~~Delilah~~***I still can't get over that bracelet.It was the last gift Dad ever gave me. It meant everything to me— the only piece of him I had left.Losing it hurt more than I can explain.For days I kept searching. But seeing it on Ashley's wrist puts me off. It feels wrong in a way I can't shake off.It's an old-fashioned piece, why would Ashley even want it?And how did it end up with her?Is it the thrill of messing with me?I just can't place it.She insists it's hers and refused to give it back.Of course she's lying. A terrible liar at that.I'm at lost on what to do, the second I tried to grab it off her, she screamed.All I can do now is seethe.My phone vibrates on the table, pulling me back to earth.I reach for it.It's a text from a strange number. A lump lodge itself in my throat. I already know.Mom.“The transfer was due yesterday. Mr Blake has me. He's giving me 24 more hours to pay him or I'd be dead, Delilah. He meant it. Don't let me die here. I won't get

006 Divorce? Dream on

***~~Delilah~~***Everyone turns to me.Then her.Then back to me.I know what they're thinking. I know exactly what this looks like.I clench my fork a little tighter, feeling a mix of anger and helplessness.Soren— he didn't look at me once.Instead he smiles back at her and turns to his family. “Yes. Ashley and I are expecting a baby,”It hurts to hear that.To watch them.I swallow hard. I could feel someone's gaze scorching my left cheek.I knew it was Cameron, and I didn't dare look at him.Rebecca shrills. “Finally! Someone did it. I knew Soren's perfect. It'd never be his fault for being childless,”“Rebecca —,” Julian calls her.I could feel Grandpa's hand on mine. I stand, pushing my chair back. “Excuse me. I need to use the bathroom,”I hear Soren's voice. “Lilah…”I don't look at him.He doesn't follow.I push inside and lock the door.That's when tears streams down.Heavy.Uncontrolled.I bawl my eyes out.Looking at the mirror, I see someone who looks like me but doesn

007 Lingering guilt

***~~Soren~~Five years later……I stand in front of the mirror, lost in thought.A single white carnation lies on the table.It's Lilah’s memorial and I feel empty, just like it's been in five years.Five years of endless blame.Five years of gnawing guilt.I could've stopped her that night, run after her—- try to straighten things out.But I didn't.Delilah died. I let it happen.I failed her.It was all my fault.Behind me, someone clears her throat.I don't turn. I just stare into the mirror.It's Ashley, clad in a tiny see- through strapless dress.She steps closer, wrapping her arms around me, her face resting against my back. Her fingers trail lightly down my body till it gets to my lower abdomen.I catch her in time and spin.I put her hands off me and glared at her.She frowns. “What Soren? I want you. I want us. Why do you keep doing this?”I adjust my cufflinks without looking at her. “Now's not the time,”“When is it ever going to be the time?!” She snaps, but goes cold as
