ChelseaI watched helplessly as both my mother and stepmother walked away without stopping to even look at me.One of them hated me from the moment she saw me for the first time, so it didn’t matter, but my mother watching my mother leave the room without even looking at me made me feel so unloved.I doubt my mother has ever loved me. She always tells me that everything she does is for me, but that’s not true.She argues that I went to the best school, wore the best clothes, and lived a luxurious life because she gave it to me, but that’s not true.Everything I have wasn’t mine. Not even my surname or the degree I earned.I studied what my stepfather wanted me to study, and when he said I couldn’t work after I graduated, I tried to rebel and even moved away from home, but I soon realized that I was trapped, and until he says I am free, I can’t be free.No one wanted to employ me, not even for temporary or part-time jobs at cafes or bars.No one wanted to house me either, even when I h

Nathan“Why hasn’t it been found?”I yelled at my assistants. I couldn’t find my wedding ring.I had it with me during the inspection of the new product that was about to be launched, but somewhere between the factory and my office, I lost it, and I can’t find it.I looked everywhere in my office before asking for help, but till now, it hasn’t been found.I have had it with me for over a year now, and I never lose it.“We are still looking for it.”I glared at them.“Make it quick! I can’t lose my wedding ring!”I know it’s not their fault, but I couldn’t help but be mad. I even offered them bonuses to find it, so it’s not like they are doing it for free.I waved them off and sat down heavily. I don’t even know why I am so anxious about losing the damn ring.I just feel so upset.“Sir,”Simone walked into my office, and for some reason, I knew I wasn’t about to like whatever news he brought with him.I hired Simone to keep an eye on my wife after she started going out a lot more than

Chelsea“Wait, do you think I found someone else?”I asked him. It made absolutely no sense that he would think that. Our marriage might not have had any intimacy, but I would never get with anyone else while married.I don’t know why he would think so little of me.“I don’t think, Chelsea. I know what you have been up to, and I know why you suddenly want to divorce me. I won’t let that happen. You can’t leave if I don’t sign the papers, and I won’t sign.”He said, and right in front of me, he ripped up the papers even though I screamed at him not to do it.“Why would you do that? I have to go back and get a new copy! How could you do that?”I cried. I hated that his action made me cry.“Go tell that man that he can’t have you! I won’t let that happen. You are my wife, and you shall remain my wife for as long as I deem it fit.”The crazy man told me.“I am not seeing anyone. You don’t know the reason I want a divorce, and I refuse to tell you! I just want out of this sham marriage! Yo

Nathan“My wife isn’t sick; she is just pregnant.”The words came out of my mouth, and I couldn’t help but pray that it was true.I didn’t even mind her being pregnant anymore. Anything over whatever the doctor just told me.“No, she isn’t pregnant, Mr. Montague. I know because we tested for pregnancy during her first check, even though she told us she couldn’t possibly be pregnant. I have her whole file with me. She isn’t having a baby; she is dying. I am sorry for being the bearer of bad news.”My vision blurred the longer the doctor spoke. Each word he said hit me straight in the gut, and I wanted to make it stop.“No, please.”I begged as if my begging would take away what he just said.“The reason I wanted you to come here is that the kind of cancer your wife has progresses very rapidly, and your wife is refusing to get treatment.”As if the words he just told me weren't enough, he had to go and add more.“What?”I asked even though I heard what he said.“If she doesn’t get treat

Chelsea“Are you okay? Do you need anything? Do you need me to do anything for you? Just say the words, and I will do it.”He said those words and reached for my hand again.I gathered all my strength and yanked his hand away.“I want you to leave me alone!”I don’t know how loud I said those words, but I knew it was loud enough for him to hear, and I saw the way his expression changed.Sadness.That’s what I saw in his eyes, but I didn’t care. Why should I care when the only reason he was suddenly showing me a soft and attentive side of himself was that he knew I was dying?Deep down, he was probably praying for me to die sooner so that he could be free.He did tell me on our wedding day that he never wanted to be married.No one would expect a widower to get remarried as soon as his wife dies, so as long as he plays his game right, everyone will feel bad for him.He was only putting on a good show now so that when I end up dying, everyone will praise him for how he stood by my side
