CHARLOTTE ~•~ This couldn’t be real. I knew we were on the verge of divorce but I never believed it would come out of nowhere. Did I push him too far? I should have talked things out with him before I confirmed the role, right? That must be the reason. If I had told him, maybe things would be very different. My hands were shaking so badly that the papers blurred in front of me. I couldn’t even read through them. I didn’t dare to. Reading it would be accepting that we were truly getting divorced. I set them down carefully and reached for my phone. I dialed Alexander’s number without thinking. It went to voicemail. I tried again. Same thing. The third time, I left a message, my voice small and cracked. “Alex, please. Just call me back. We need to talk. I… I don’t want this. Please.” Nothing. I swallowed hard and opened our location app. It loaded for a while, then a small gray message appeared at the bottom of the screen. Location unavailable. I refreshed it. It was

ALEXANDER~•~The headache came immediately after I tried to open my eyes. I groaned, placing my hand on my head as I suffered the consequences of my actions.I always told myself I wouldn’t drink much because of how much I suffered the next morning, but I just couldn’t help myself last night. I’d drunk as much as I could handle until everything started to blur, then…Then what? What happened next? I couldn’t recall a thing. How did I come to lie on a bed? I recalled trying to dial Harvey’s number but asides that, there wasn’t much I could remember.I forced my eyes open. Thankfully, the lights were turned off and the curtains were drawn close. I tried to sit up, but someone was holding on to the covers. I looked beside me to see a figure sleeping peacefully.A wave of blonde hair was resting on the pillow beside mine. I blinked. Charlotte didn’t have blonde hair. Why the hell was a woman with blonde hair sleeping beside me? Why were her shoulders bare? Why the hell was I shirtless? I

ALEXANDER~•~I had no more words for Brielle.If Charlotte already knew, then it meant Briella had something to do with it. Instead of wasting my time here going absolutely nowhere with her, it was best to go home and explain to Charlotte.I rushed out of the suite without hesitation and went straight to the elevator. When I went downstairs, I realized I wasn’t sure where my car was so I just flagged down a taxi and gave them the address to my house.The ride wasn’t fast enough for my liking. I kept checking my phone even though there were no new notifications. No missed calls. No messages.Charlotte hadn’t called and that scared me more than anything.If she had seen something, if she was hurt or furious, she would have called. She would have yelled at me. She would have demanded answers. Silence meant something worse. It meant she’d given up.I dragged a hand down my face and tried to think clearly. I replayed last night in my head for the hundredth time. The bar. The whiskey. The

CHARLOTTE~•~As soon as the door closed behind Lucy and I, I let out a deep breath and leaned against the door.Tears gathered in my eyes as I looked around the room. The room belonged to Alex and me, but I’d already kicked him out. I doubted I’d be able to stay in this room by myself.“Oh my baby,” I saw Lucy through my blurry vision. She wrapped her arms around me just as the tears started to fall freely.“W-what am I going to do now?” I hiccuped. “What happens after this?”I’d expected to spend the rest of my life with Alexander. I didn’t make any plans in case things didn’t work out between us. I never imagined it could even come to that. After he left, was I supposed to keep living alone? What was the next step?“You’ll figure it out, okay?” She rubbed my back soothingly, but it did nothing to soothe me.I forced the tears to stop anyway.I pulled away from her and wiped my eyes clean. “I’ll pack a bag and spend the night with you.”“You can spend as many nights as you want with

CHARLOTTE~•~My phone started buzzing immediately after Lucy and I started driving away. My mom was calling. I didn’t answer the call. Immediately it ended, my father called. I just turned off my phone as I wasn’t in the mood to deal with them.I released a deep breath and rested my head against the glass, looking out the window as Lucy drove in silence.She didn’t try to force conversation. She knew me well enough to understand that sometimes silence was the only thing I needed. Every now and then she glanced over, making sure I was still breathing. I held back a smile at her actions. That small check-in was enough.The rest of the ride passed by in a blur. My mind kept replaying the picture Briella had sent to me. I’d called Alexander so many times yet he answered none of them. He didn’t even respond to the voicemail I’d sent to him.‘We’d simply be even.’The words replayed themselves in my head. No matter how he tried to prove he didn’t do it on purpose, that small subconscious a

ALEXANDER~•~I couldn’t catch a fucking break.I was busy trying to get the footage of my night at the bar when my phone rang. It was Harvey calling and Harvey barely ever called me. He only did so whenever he had something important to say. Otherwise, he’d just text.“Excuse me,” I told the guys at the security room and stepped outside before answering the call. “What’s up?”“I thought you said Charlotte cheated on you?” He questioned without saying hi or hello.I didn’t respond because I wasn’t sure of anything anymore, especially after everything that happened in the past few days.“How come I’m seeing articles of you cheating on her?”That got my attention. “Articles? What do you mean?”There was a ding on my phone, then, “I just sent you a link.”Hesitantly, I tapped the link that Harvey sent to me. It led me to an article whose headline was about Brielle and me entering the same hotel and coming out the next morning. “Fuck.”I was struggling to explain to Charlotte. The woman h

ALEXANDER~•~“You fucking dipshit! What the heck did you do?” I closed my eyes briefly, not having the energy to deal with anyone, anyone that wasn’t Charlotte. “How did you get in?”“I have a spare key given to me by my sister-in-law who, by the way, isn’t here and isn’t responding to my calls. I ask again, Alex, what the fuck did you do?”I gritted my teeth at Leah’s question. I knew everyone would find out as soon as it hit the news but I wasn’t ready for any interrogations just yet. I just found out I willingly went along with Briella. Who knew if I’d even been the one to undress her that night? I didn’t know if I had it in me to ask Charlotte for forgiveness yet Leah was here trying to make me feel more shitty than I already was.“Where is Charlotte?”“She left with Lucy.”“So the thing with Briella is true?” She questioned, following me as I went up the stairs. What a noisy sister I had. “How long has it been going on for? Charlotte knew, didn’t she? Is that why you guys were

CHARLOTTE~•~As soon as I saw the headlines, the first thing I did was turn on my phone. It started buzzing immediately. Several texts were coming in at once. My phone was ringing nonstop.Lucy looked at me, horrified.I quickly put my phone on do not disturb and scrolled through the messages one after the other, already knowing that my assistant, agent, and manager must have messaged me too. I wasn’t wrong.I checked my manager’s text first.[Grayson: What’s with the news? Is it true?]I didn’t know what to reply. I knew they wanted to know the truth so they knew how to handle it, but even Alexander didn’t know whether or not it was true. What the hell could I say to that?[Me: idk, but we’re getting divorced]His response came immediately. [Grayson: Any other surprises I should know of?]I shook my head slightly, but I wasn’t surprised that he didn’t bother to ask how I was doing or check if it was a mutual decision. He just didn’t want anything that would taint my career.[Me: ho

CHARLOTTE~•~I did as Lucy advised. I went to sleep and only woke up when the food arrived.After eating, I thanked the couple and retreated to the guest room. I took a shower, changed into the clothes I’d brought with me, and went right back to sleep.I didn’t know if it was because I skipped sleep last night or it was because my brain was tired and needed a break from everything that was happening, but I spent the whole day in bed, which in turn caused me to stay awake throughout the night.Lucy still didn’t give me my phone though. She thought I needed a break from it and told me I was free to watch movies until I fell asleep again. I’d been worried because I didn’t want to disturb their sleep, but it was either that or choosing to die of boredom.I chose to watch movies.Lucy stood at the door with her arms crossed after setting up the TV in the guest bedroom. “No romance. No sad documentaries. No dramatic betrayal nonsense.”“I’m not a child,” I muttered.“You’re worse. You are

ALEXANDER~•~I was hesitant to leave the house.Three suitcases stood by the door, lined up against the wall. My shoes were gone from the rack. My watch box was empty. My half of the closet upstairs was almost emptied, but I couldn’t pack everything at once.The house was too quiet. There was no music drifting from Charlotte’s studio. No faint humming from the kitchen. No echo of her heels on the floor.It affected me much more than I cared to admit.I sat on the couch, elbows on my knees, staring at nothing. I was waiting. I just wasn’t sure what I was waiting for.Maybe for her to walk in and tell me to unpack. Maybe for my phone to ring with some miracle explanation that would fix everything. Maybe for myself to wake up from whatever nightmare this was.I was taken by surprise when the front door clicked open.My head snapped up just as Charlotte stepped inside.She froze when she saw me.For a second, neither of us spoke.She looked different from the previous day. Yesterday, she
