Jam Packed

When Caleb Kingston proposed marriage, I knew he did not love me. But as a woman who loved him secretly for years, I agreed to whatever scraps he could give me thinking that he could learn to love me in time. Three years into our marriage, I realized that I had been a fool chasing an impossible dream. A stubborn man like Caleb only loved once and she sure was not me. “She's back and she wants me. I do not want to ruin this chance for anything.” He told me, slapping a divorce paper my way. “What about our baby?” His scowl told me he was not happy that I sprung that news on him. “Abort it. Do whatever you want with it. I don’t care.” Was his callous remark. That same night, after signing the divorce agreement, I packed my bags and left with a promise that I will be back stronger to show this ruthless billionaire what he lost.

Cuando descubrí que estaba embarazada, Miguel Michaus gastó una fortuna en contratar a un médico de renombre para que me prescribiera medicamentos para proteger al bebé. Él, que jamás fue creyente, se arrodilló en una iglesia durante horas, rogando que yo pudiera dar a luz sana y salva. —Amor, has sufrido mucho. Cuando nazca el bebé, te lo voy a compensar como te lo mereces. Ese mismo día, por accidente, contesté una llamada en su lugar. —Señor Michaus, tal como indicó, a los medicamentos de la señora ya se les añadió el fármaco esterilizante. Cuando llegue el momento, el bebé nacerá sin vida. En cambio, el hijo de la señorita López está perfectamente sano; nacerá sin complicaciones y se convertirá en el heredero del Grupo Michaus. La señora Santerbás no notará nada, ni se dará cuenta; no se verá afectada su relación con usted. Esté tranquilo. Bajé la mirada hacia mi vientre abultado. Jamás imaginé que su amor fuera tan falso. Así que ya no tenía nada que me retuviera. Firmé los papeles del divorcio y elegí marcharme.

All the while somewhere out there, a group of men in a beat-up old pickup truck drove down the road drinking cheap whiskey and loading their guns and hunting for the little bitch that had been asking too many questions in too many towns along the way.

Noah left me at the altar three times—for his precious Freya. First time? She threatened to jump off a building. Second? Said she was moving abroad. Third? Sent a text saying she was getting forced into some arranged marriage. Noah, usually Mr. Cool, freaked. Left a packed venue and turned me into a total joke. Again. I called him. "If you don't come back today, I'm marrying someone else." He laughed. "Freya's young. You're too old to be playing games, aren't you?" I clutched my phone, heart sinking. He knew Freya was bluffing. Still picked her. That's when I finally gave up. Later, after he'd calmed her down, he came looking for me. "Pick a new wedding date," he said, like it was no big deal. "It'll be even grander this time." A guy's voice cut through, smiling. "Sorry, man. Gotta get my wife on the plane."

Aku suka melepas penat di tengah hiruk pikuk kereta bawah tanah pada jam sibuk. Tak kusangka, seorang pria di depanku menyadarinya. Aku menikmati tatapannya, sengaja membiarkan bagian tubuhku tersingkap. Namun, saat aku hendak turun, dia menarikku kembali ke dalam gerbong, mengimpitku di sudut, dan memainkanku dengan liar. "Ah!
