CarolineThe candles on the cake had burned halfway. I sat by the table, waiting patiently for Nate. He was supposed to be here. He should have taken a day off since today was our anniversary. I yawned, my eyes barely still. I couldn't stop the frequent pounds of my heart each time I looked towards the wall clock. 11:30. Once it's 12 and my husband is not back, I would cry and get sad. I did my best, I baked the best cake ever, I arranged Confettis, balloons, baked snacks. I’d been looking forward to this day, most especially, planning in my head for months during meetings in the office. My phone laid on the table. I had called a thousand times but it went to his business partner’s cheerful voice mail greeting, Serena, and not his assistant. Strange. I took a deep breath, my thumb hovered over the screen. If I called again, I'd sound so pathetic. So I set it down and folded my hands in my lap. Deep down, I was scared that if he'd answered angrily, it meant I interrupted something im

Caroline Nate went still, eyes widening in surprise as he stared at me, his gaze clouded. And Serena, still holding unto him. She couldn't even respect the fact that his wife was standing next to him. “Caroline.” He stepped forward, gently disentangling himself from Serena's grip. “What are you doing here?”“I…” my voice came out shaken. I swallowed and looked between him and her. “I think I'm just gonna hang around.” Serena announced before she walked away. As her footsteps faded, I took a deep breath. Better. “You're supposed to be at home. Are you okay?”“I know.” I rushed. “I came to see Claudia.” His brows squished together. “Why?” His fingers ran over his cuff. I braced myself for what I was about to say. “Well, I want to continue working.”He folded his arm over his stomach, narrowing his eyes. “Caroline, we've talked about this before.”“I want my job back. Please.” I tried to keep my voice steady. “I don't like staying at home.”“Are you serious? Come on, anything aside

Caroline I woke up unhappy, remembering yesterday's event, a disaster. Nate wasn't on the bed. God, I wished I had woken up before him and left to Claudia's place. I stared at the ceiling, replaying what happened before. He could have Serena for all I care. I shot to my feet, showered and dressed, then made my way downstairs, my stomach was already growling. I was drawn towards the smell of eggs and bacon coming from the kitchen. My face turned cold when I saw Nate over the table, his eyes were glued to his tablet. He finally looked up when I approached the table. “Good morning.” I dragged a chair and sat down. “Morning.” I threw my face elsewhere. “The chef made your favorite.” He dropped his tablet. “Did you sleep well?”Since we got married, I haven't had a moment to sleep at peace. I nodded absentmindedly. “Yeah.” I began to eat. “You're dressed. Are you going somewhere?”“Yeah.” I sipped from the orange juice and stood up. “I have to go and get something.” I walked towards

Caroline I stared at my trembling hand, horrified by what I had just done. Then I looked at him again.He slowly turned his head back towards me."I hate you." My voice broke. "I hate you so much." I sobbed, taking several steps backwards.He pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek, his jaw working as he stared at me. His expression was unreadable. For a moment, I thought he was going to explode. Instead, he let out a slow breath and straightened his jacket."Fine."I blinked through my tears."You want a divorce so badly?" He nodded slowly. "You'll get one."My heart thudded painfully. He reached for his phone and slipped it into his pocket. "But don't come running back to me when you realise what you've thrown away."I laughed bitterly through my tears. “I would never. Marrying you was the biggest mistake ever. You still think I'll come running back?”“Your things are still at my place. I'm expecting you to change your mind.” He turned and headed towards the door.I stoo
