chapter one

Evelyn's POVToday was his 30th birthday. And I had the best gift in the world folded in my hands. Three years. That was how long I had been Liam Marlon's wife. I stood in front of the mirror and smoothed my dress. Inside my small white box was a single sheet of paper, a hospital test result. It had changed my whole life a week ago. Six weeks pregnant, it read.I pressed the box to my chest and smiled. Maybe this was it. Maybe a baby would finally open his heart to me. Two years of cold meals and empty beds, and still I hoped. I hated myself for hoping. But I did. "Tonight," I whispered to my own reflection. "Tonight everything changes."I went downstairs to find him. The snooker room door was open just a little. I heard men's voices and the soft click of balls. Liam. Andrew and Matteo. I lifted my hand to knock. Then I heard my name. "Evelyn?" Liam laughed. It was an ugly sound. "I have never loved her. Not for one day."My hand froze in the air. "Come on," Andrew said. "She's your

chapter Two

Evelyn's POV"Liam…" I called out to him, wondering what might be in those photos to make him so furious. How did those pictures even get in there? I couldn't help but wonder what was going on.The room went so quiet I could hear my own heartbeat. Liam crossed the floor in three long steps and grabbed my wrist. His fingers were hard. He pulled me toward him, the photos still crushed in his other hand. "You," he said. His voice shook. "You couldn't even be decent.""You couldn't keep your legs closed." He held the pictures up in my face. That was when I saw it; it was me in those photos in a hotel with a man. My head on his chest. One stare at it and I froze, grabbed the pictures from his hands to really confirm it was me. “But…how…?” "Of all days, you had to do this today? On my birthday. And you rub it in front of everyone?" If I was sure of one thing in this world, it was that I had loved Liam since we were teenagers back in high school. Back then, he was soft and gentle. When the

Chapter Three

I could not stand it one more second; I turned and ran through the kitchen, out the back door, into the dark garden behind the house. The music and the voices faded behind me. Out here, there was only the night air and the smell of smoke from the barbecue the servers had used earlier.I stopped by the low brick fire pit, its coals still glowing orange, and I let it all out. I screamed, pressing my hand over my own mouth to keep it quiet, but it came anyway, shaking my whole body. Three years of holding everything in, and it all broke loose in the dark. I cried for Ethan. For the baby. And the stupid, hopeful girl who had wrapped a lily on a box and thought love might grow where there was only ice.***I did not sleep, nor did I know when everyone left. The next morning, I lay in the big cold bed and watched the ceiling turn from black to gray to pale morning white. Liam's side was empty. It had been empty all night. A soft knock came at the door."Mrs. Evelyn?" The door opened, and M

chapter four

He just needed time, I told myself. He would calm down, and then we would talk, like husband and wife should. I sat alone at the back of the cafeteria with my lunch untouched in front of me, staring at the glass of water on the table. I watched the small ring of wetness it left behind and turned it slowly in my hand without drinking. A glass of water. My fingers went still. “Cherry.” Then the memory came. The one I had pushed away for days because it did not make sense. A week ago. Here, at this very office. Cherry had come to see me. She had smiled her soft smile and said she wanted to make peace."I feel terrible about everything," she had said. "You and Liam, the way things are. I want to fix it. I want to step back and let the two of you be a real family." She had touched my arm. "Can we talk? Somewhere quiet. Just us women."And a fool that I was, I wanted to believe her; I wanted peace so badly. We went to a restaurant. A nice one, soft lights, a private corner. She poured me w

chapter Five

It spread beneath me onto Cherry's white floor. We both stared at it. Neither of us moved. For one long second, the fight was gone, and there was only fear, hers and mine, hanging in the air between us. Then Cherry broke. "Oh God," she screamed.She scrambled back on her hands, away from me, her eyes wide and wild. She grabbed her phone off the floor. Her fingers were shaking so hard she almost dropped it. I tried to get up. My arm would not hold me. I slid back down onto the cold marble, and the room tilted around me.“Get up, Evelyn,” I told myself. For the baby. But I could not. I lay there on the floor of that beautiful white room, bleeding, weak, one hand pressed to my stomach, and the fear swallowed me whole. Not fear for me. Fear for the small life inside me. The only thing in this world that was truly mine.“Why did I come here?” The thought cut deeper than the glass. I should have stayed at my desk. I should have let them whisper. I should have gone home and locked the door a

Chapter six

Liam's POV The sun was up, and the bed felt strange under me; Evelyn's face kept coming back. Those photos, a man's hand on her waist. I sat up and rubbed my face hard. I had not slept much, and I did not want to. Cherry walked in with coffee, and she smiled at me like nothing in the world was wrong. "You look terrible," she said. "Did you sleep at all?""Not really." I took the cup. "I need to go home and get ready for work." She sat on the bed beside me. "You don't have to go back there, not after what she did." I honestly wished I did not have to go, but i had a company to run. "I have a board meeting at noon." I stood up and set the cup down. "I need my files and a change of clothes . I won't be long."Cherry walked me to the car in her robe and kissed my cheek. "Come back tonight," she said. "I'll cook." I almost smiled, but the anger was still there, sitting in my chest like a stone. I drove home with the windows down and the radio off. The house was quiet when I walked in;

Chapter seven

Evelyn's POVI heard the door click, his feet on the stairs, and then nothing. The house went silent; I lay there on Cherry's floor with my hand pressed to my stomach and my blood warm under my back, and I waited for the door to open again.I counted. I did not mean to, but I counted, the way you count when your mind cannot hold anything bigger. One, two, three. My forehead was cold, and my arm would not lift properly, so I counted with my breath instead."Liam," I said, out loud, to the ceiling; the word came out thin and cracked. I pinched the skin on the back of my hand, hard, until it hurt, hard enough that a small red mark came up. I wanted it to be a dream; I wanted to wake up in my cold bed in that big house with the sun on the wall and the space beside me, and be angry about it, and be alive. I pinched again. The pain was real, the blood under my back was real, and it was spreading. My husband had carried another woman out of this room in his arms and left me here. That was
