Chapter thirty-one Emily It happened a few minutes when Seth stood up after eating that my phone dipped. It was a message. Another message.It is high time I change my SIM card, but at the same time I want to see the end of all this. I immediately looked around to see no one in sight before bringing my phone closer to see who'd texted only to see it was that same number. ‘If you want to know the truth about your husband, meet me at this address and time’ It reads, then below is the address and time.I have an hour and thirty minutes to prepare and get there. My brows knitted together, a cafe? Of all places, they had to pick an open space.I am going to go there. I mean, since it's an open space I don't think they will be able to harm me. Also I need the truth and to put an end to these.I held my phone tightly and rushed upstairs to go change. I decided to wear sweatpants together with a basic tee while leaving my hair down and wearing a baseball cap with a flat.Wait…what wil

Chapter thirty-threeEmily One week later…One week of being a married woman. Being Mrs. Hernandez. One week of silence, of no threatening messages, of no anonymous calls.One week without waking up every morning wondering what unknown number would appear on my screen next.It should have made me feel better. Instead, it only made me more uneasy.Seth. He has been acting differently these past few days that I often find myself wondering if it's just my thinking.Three days ago, he'd acted all nice and caring with me when Mrs. Briggs told him that I was under the weather. I was angry at her for letting him know, but of course what was I expecting, she'd tell him everything that happens in and out of the house.She can't be trusted with me…and that's for sure. “Emily.” He called that evening, his voice soft. That was when he'd entered the room after knocking and seeing me under the blankets. I guessed he just came back from only God knows what he'd gone outside to do, when the hous

Chapter thirty-fiveSeth"Wait."I stopped him before another word could leave his mouth.Not because I didn't want to hear what he had to say.I wanted to make sure he understood exactly what was at stake.I took a slow step toward him, keeping my eyes fixed on his."If what you're about to tell me is anything less than the truth..." I said quietly, my voice calm enough to make the room feel colder, "...you won't like what happens next."I held his gaze, giving him no room to look away."So think carefully before you speak."He nodded his head. Vigorously. “I'm listening.” “It was….” His lips trembled. “Tristan.”The name settled heavily in the room. Finne was the first to react.“I knew it.”But I didn't. I simply stared at the boy.His breathing had become uneven, his chest rising and falling too quickly."Look at me," I said calmly.His frightened eyes met mine."You know Tristan?"He nodded rapidly."Y... yes.""How?""He... he was the one who..."His words caught in his thr

Chapter thirty-sevenEmilyThat look.I'd seen it before. Years ago.On my father.The night before he died.It was... exhaustion.The kind that settled deep in a person's soul. The kind no amount of sleep could erase.That same look was right in my front. Not staring back at me, but at his food. Only this time… It belonged to Seth.Not my late father.From where he sat a chair away, his shoulders squared as always, his expression carefully composed. Anyone looking at him would see the same powerful, intimidating Dr. Seth Hernandez.But I saw something different.The faint shadows beneath his eyes.The slight tension in his jaw.The distant look that flickered across his face before disappearing so quickly I almost convinced myself I'd imagined it.My fingers curled around the edge of the dining table.What's wrong with him?The question surfaced before I could stop it.I hated it.Hated that I noticed.Hated that I cared enough to make my thoughts wander.The words climbed to the ti

Chapter thirty-nineEmily“Seth!”My voice tore through the terrace but he didn't answer.For one horrible second, I simply stood there, staring at him as if my mind had refused to understand what my eyes had just witnessed.Then his body hit the ground and that was when I moved.I don't even remember crossing the distance between us. One second I was standing several feet away, and the next I was on my knees beside him, my hands hovering uselessly over his body.“Seth?”Nothing.My heart slammed against my ribs.“Seth!”I touched his shoulder.Still nothing.His eyes remained closed, his face frighteningly still.No.No, no, no.This couldn't be happening.He was fine a few minutes ago.He had been standing there, looking at me, breathing normally. He had even smiled.And now he was lying on the ground like his body had simply decided to betray him.My fingers trembled as I pressed them against his neck.I felt it. The pulse.Thank God.There was one, weak. But there.I released a sh
