Lahat ng Kabanata ng 30 Days to Ecstasy : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Chapter 21: Johnson's RageSarah walked into the hotel room with slow, deliberate steps. She wore a tight black dress that clung to every curve of her body like a second skin. The fabric stretched across her full breasts and hugged her hips tightly. Her high heels clicked sharply against the polished floor with each movement. The sound echoed in the quiet space. Johnson sat on the edge of the bed. His face was flushed red with barely contained fury. His eyes burned with anger as he stared at her."You called me," Sarah said calmly. She closed the door behind her with a soft click. The lock engaged. She turned to face him fully. Her posture was confident. Her lips curved into a knowing smile.Johnson stood up abruptly. The bed creaked under the sudden shift of his weight. He crossed the room in two long strides. His hand shot out and grabbed her arm firmly. He pulled her close against his chest. Without a word, he kissed her hard. His mouth crushed against hers. His tongue pushed into

Chapter 23: The Paper And The Memories. Rebecca sat at her kitchen table. The late afternoon light slanted through the window, casting long shadows across the worn wooden surface. The envelope from the lawyer rested in front of her like an uninvited guest. Its crisp edges and formal stamp made it impossible to ignore. She had known this moment was coming for months. Johnson had thrown the words at her like weapons during their last few arguments. But seeing the actual papers in her hands turned the abstract threat into something solid and final. Her fingers trembled slightly as she picked it up. The paper felt cool and smooth against her skin. She slid her thumb under the flap and tore it open slowly. Deliberately. As if rushing might make the reality hit harder. Inside were the documents, neatly stapled and typed in that impersonal legal font. "Dissolution of Marriage," it read at the top. Her full name, Rebecca Carter, printed beside Johnson's. The date of their wedding listed

Chapter 25: You Cannot Eat Your Cake And Have It.Johnson sat on the edge of the bed for a long time after Sarah left. The apartment felt too quiet. Too empty. The sheets still carried the scent of their earlier encounter, but it did nothing to calm the storm raging inside him. Anger and something sharper, like grief, twisted together in his gut. He had lost control of everything. Rebecca had signed the papers without a fight. Sarah had laughed in his face and walked out. Even the child they shared felt like a chain pulling him down now. He needed air. He needed a drink. Johnson pulled on his clothes, grabbed his keys, and headed out into the cooling evening. The streets blurred as he drove. He ended up at a bar he used to always visit whenever he came to this city. It was a dim, no-frills place with sticky floors and cheap whiskey. Exactly what he needed tonight. He slid onto a stool at the far end of the counter. The bartender, an older man with a tired face, gave him a nod. "W

Chapter 27: Some Questions Can Cause Pain While Some Can Cause Thoughts. Liam sat in his living room, staring at his phone. He had tried calling Rebecca three times already, but she did not pick up. Each time it went straight to voicemail. At first, he thought she might be busy. Maybe she was taking a shower or resting after everything that had happened with her divorce. But as the hours passed and she still did not answer, worry started to grow inside him. What if something bad had happened to her? What if she was hurt or in trouble? He could not sit still any longer.He grabbed his car keys and drove straight to her house. The streets looked normal, but his heart beat fast with fear. When he reached her place, he parked quickly and walked up to the door. He knocked loudly. "Rebecca? Are you in there? It is me, Liam."After a few moments, the door opened. Rebecca stood there, looking tired. Her eyes were red, like she had not slept well. She stepped aside to let him in without sayin

Chapter 29: Night of ViolenceRebecca tried to rest that evening. The morning visit from Johnson had left her drained. She had cleaned the house and eaten a small dinner, but her mind would not settle. She kept thinking about the new information she had learned. Around nine o'clock, she decided to go to bed early. She locked all the doors and turned off most of the lights. Just as she lay down, she heard a loud banging on the front door.Her heart jumped. She knew who it was before she even checked. Johnson had come back. She walked quietly to the living room and stood near the door. "Go away, Johnson. I told you to leave me alone."He banged on the door again, harder this time. "Open this door, Rebecca. We need to talk. You cannot just throw me out like that."She did not want to open it, but she feared he might break it down if she ignored him. With shaky hands, she unlocked the door. Johnson pushed his way inside before she could stop him. He smelled like alcohol and his eyes looke
