You Can't Do This!

Lara's POV “Is it really incurable?” I asked, my heart in my throat as I squeezed the hem of my gown gently and the doctor nodded.“In my whole experience as a doctor, Mrs. Stone, lung cancer has never been cured successfully. It has spread too far to be treated. Other hospitals may have developed a cure but not ours.” He responded and I let out a shaky sigh, my heart shattering into pieces.I remembered brushing my hair days ago and was shocked at the amount of hair I lost. So it was cancer. “How long do I have, doctor?” I asked shakily, rubbing my pale hands over each other. “How long till this… cancer takes my life?”“Give or take, Mrs Stone, you have less than six months to live.” He responded and my heart sank into my stomach.“But… I'm with a child. It hasn't even been four weeks. How will I give birth to her if I won't even make it to nine months?” I questioned, my eyes watering with tears and he let out a defeated sigh.He placed his hands together on the table as he stared

You Can't Do This(2)

Lara's POV My vision blurred as tears welled up in my eyes, but I quickly wiped them off, picking up my phone again. The picture was still there, proving that I wasn't going insane.In Gerald's arms was the one lady I recognized too well without needing to look too much. She was my sister. My younger sister who was my husband's first love.The one he was supposed to marry.So she was the reason he was rushing out of the house so fast this morning. He never stopped loving her after all. Even when she broke his heart five years ago by eloping with her lover, he never got over her. I was supposed to be her replacement so I did everything I could to love him in ways that no one could ever love him. I gave him everything I had and for a moment, I thought maybe he would forget about her and choose me. I had no idea she was back from Europe. But he just had to run straight to her without even caring about what I had to say. How absurd!I couldn't read the article anymore, so I switched my

Get Out!

Lara's POV I never got the chance to tell Gerald that I was pregnant. Or that I was dying in six months. I didn't want to believe that he would actually bring Ria to the house, so I didn't clean the room as he told me to.The doctor specifically told me not to stress myself and I wouldn't do that for a lady who didn't care if I was alive or dead.In two hours, Gerald's car drove into the house and I stood by the window, watching as he stepped out of the car and rushed to the passenger's seat. My heart flew to my throat when he opened the door and Ria stepped out.He brought her here. He actually brought her here.I watched as she slumped into his arms and he held her closely, wrapping her arms around his neck before picking her up in his arms. Gerald had never carried me that way in years.Ria clung to him like a leech, an exhausted expression on her face as Gerald walked into the house with her in his arms. I walked out of the room, my heart shattered at the sight in front of me and

What Have You Done?!

Lara's POV “Your lies weren't enough and now you're trying to blame poor Ria? She doesn't even know what we're talking about. Must you be so shameless?” Gerald asked in annoyance and I gasped, shaking my head in disagreement.There was no way the results would just disappear into thin air. Something was wrong.“Gerald, you have to believe me—”“Just leave. Use the time to clear your head and ask yourself if this is the right thing to do.” He muttered, making way for me to leave and I let out a sigh, wiping a lone tear that fell.I walked out of the room and Gerald slammed it shut behind me as I slid to the ground, my back against the door. How the hell did the results disappear if she didn't take them? Who else could it be if not her? She was back to destroy me and Gerald would let her because he was too obsessed with her to see she wasn't as innocent as she claimed.Ria always knew how to make me the bad person in every story. Whenever she hurt me, she would also hurt herself, maki

I AM Dying

LARA“I didn't do anything, Gerald!” I pleaded, tears burning in my eyes. His eyes burned with hatred as he carried Ria up, her hands hanging limply. “She tried to hurt herself, and I stopped her.”“Stop lying!” he thundered, and I flinched. “Ria has no reason to hurt herself. You're so selfish and jealous that you want her out of this place. You know damn well she doesn't have anywhere else to go, Lara! I only left for thirty minutes, and you did this.”“G-Gerald.” My voice broke, my heart shattering into a million pieces. “How can you think so cruelly of me? I have been with you for three years. You know I would never do such a thing... I'm not that type of person. Ouch.”A sharp pain throbbed in my lower abdomen as though someone were slicing my organs with a knife. Something warm poured out, and I looked down with shaky eyes as thick blood trailed down my legs.“Now you're faking? You should become an actress,” he scoffed, turning toward the door.“Gerald. The baby.” My shaky voic

Does He Know?

BRYANThis cannot be happening.I stared at Lara as she began to weep. All I could do was hold her and say, “It’s okay. You’ll be fine.”We stayed like that for about thirty minutes before I finally mustered the courage to ask, “When did you find out?”“Just last week,” she said, trying to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand. “At the same time, I found out I was pregnant.”“And does your husband know?” That was what I genuinely wanted to know.“He thinks I’m making things up to get attention from him.” Her voice cracked as she tried to stifle more tears.“Some husband he is.” I clenched my jaw. “This is exactly why I never liked him. What kind of husband can’t even be there for you when you need him the most? I mean, it was his child too, wasn’t it?” I tried hard not to raise my voice, but everything about this situation made my blood boil.“It was his.” She sounded so shaky as she replied.“And where is he now?”“I don’t know. Probably with Ria.” She spat the name out like

Your Last.

LARAAfter Bryan left, I couldn’t sleep. I kept tossing and turning, so I decided to get up and stretch around my room to see if that would help with the dull pain in my lower abdomen. I couldn’t just lie around feeling sorry for myself, even if my body didn’t want to rest.I got up and started doing some mild stretches, but there was so much on my mind. I kept replaying my conversation with Bryan from moments earlier. In a way, he was right. Gerald wouldn’t have been influenced by Ria if he didn’t want to be.But there was no use dwelling on such thoughts. It wasn’t entirely his fault. He just believed what he saw without knowing the whole story, and God knows he can’t be the only one guilty of such mistakes. We are human beings—essentially imperfect. I needed some fresh air.Bryan’s words and Gerald’s actions were making me reel, and I didn’t like it one bit. I needed to take a walk to clear my head.I winced as I carefully pulled out the IV needle and pressed a piece of cotton agai

She's Missing (1)

LARAI took a long bath, probably trying to wash the pain away, but it didn’t work. The ache still lingered deep inside me, both physically and emotionally. Eventually, I reached into the medicine cabinet and swallowed some pain medication before staring at my reflection in the mirror.I couldn’t bear the sight of myself.Not because I looked terrible, but because I felt empty.Without my baby, I felt like there was nothing left of me.Tears rolled down my cheeks, but I bit down hard on my lower lip, forcing myself to stop crying. This wasn’t the time to break down. Crying wouldn’t fix anything. It wouldn’t bring my baby back.This was the time to act.I stepped out of the bathroom and walked into my closet to get dressed. My movements were slow, heavy with exhaustion and emotional numbness, but my mind remained clear. Every second only strengthened my resolve.Once I was fully dressed, I called Bryan to ask if the divorce papers were ready.“They’re done,” he confirmed. “The lawyer i

A Divorce

CHAPTER NINE LARA'S POV. I didn't expect to be happy after the papers were signed. What I also didn't expect was the numbness. The particular emptiness of finally doing something you've been building towards and feeling nothing on the other side of it. I gathered the papers and returned to the room, tucking them carefully in a bag. I could leave now. Forget everything with Gerald and move on. Finally stop fighting to be seen by someone who had decided long ago not to look. Only it didn't work that way. The years weren't going to vanish because I wanted them to. I would think about him constantly, miss him in ways I hadn't prepared for, reach for him in the night out of habit before remembering. Bryan had said to give him a week. I would give him exactly that. By the end of it, Gerald would have seen Ria for what she truly was and remembered what we were. This was just the effect of seeing his first love again after so long. He would come back to me. He would come back to

Get Me Out Of Here.

CHAPTER TEN.LARA'S POV I was out of the room before he was done. He rushed through breakfast like whatever he was going to do would be damaged if he took a minute later.The day moved slowly. I walked through every room and looked at things properly for the last time, the designs on the doorframe, the way the afternoon light came through the sitting room window at three o'clock, the wedding bouquet I had preserved in a glass, I stood there looking at it for longer than made sense.When it was almost noon, I picked up the divorce papers and every report I had received from the hospital and placed them neatly in his home office. He was sure to come in to send some mails before retiring to bed. He would have his answers then.I opened the papers and added the pictures of my hair, the bald spots I had carefully hid with wigs, the damage on my stomach that clothes did well to hide. I laid it all bare before him then I pulled off the diamond ring from my finger and placed it between the
