The morning sunlight peeped its head through the window and it made me squint and cover my eyes. I turned to the other side of the bed and it was cold. Cole had left.Suddenly I remember as my brain dredges up the reason for that and I became all teary. I started on another crying spree. I didn’t know that it would eventually turn out to be like this. I ran to my bathroom and suddenly had the urge to see what I looked. I stood at the door for a while as if the bathroom was some dangerous place in the world. Indeed at this moment, the bathroom was like a warzone. Firstly I was attacked by Cole’s cologne. It filled the air in the bathroom. This was a scent I had grown to love. Something I always wanted to sniff but now it felt like it was judging me. Asking me where I had hurt it’s owner. Only if they could hear me out too just like their owner but they couldn’t. No matter how I explained it to them, they would never understand. The lighting on the bathroom suddenly looked so bright a

I woke up a lot later than usual the next morning. My eyes fluttered, trying to keep out the sort of light that came from the late morning sun. They could only do so much, as the rays fell right on my face, from the window I had left open the night before.“Fuck,” I muttered as I suppressed a groan in frustration. I had woken up very irritable and the stupid light from the window wasn't doing any favors to my mood whatsoever.This made me wonder why I was angry at a window. It took a minute, but I soon remembered that I wasn't angry at the inanimate object, I was angry at something— someone else. Elizabeth.I opened my eyes fully and was bombarded by the brightness that I had been trying to avoid for so long. Soon the light faded and all of the things in my room began to morph into view. The bed, the chairs, the wardrobes, they were all there. The only thing missing was the woman who had shared my bed for some time now.I wasn't even surprised by this, I was the one who had stormed of

I always knew I was meant for great things but nobody believed me. As I sat in the waiting room I realized that life was good for the people who knew how to grab opportunities. For instance, someone else might have felt bad about selling out a family’s dirty secrets but I did not. That I get a big scoop, a career advancement and a paycheck and they do not. Simply because they think it is against morals. As far as I know, morals are just society’s way of forcing us to conform and I am far too great to conform to any man’s rules except mine.“Miss Waylon will be with you shortly” The pretty Latina looking receptionist says in fluent, un-accentuated English. It still baffles me how these foreigners in our land manage to blend in at places like this. As far as I am concerned any ass that is that thick belongs on my sheets and only on my sheets. Suddenly I wonder how my dear Beth is doing. I had and amazing night with her. She was so supple and so warm. Along with a great fuck, she also pr

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My phone had beeped signalling a message had come in while I was busy trying to figure out a way to contact Cole and try to explain the whole situation and why I kept my real identity away from him all these time. Only for me to receive this heart wrenching message again! It was a video of me and Nate while he took advantage of me and raped to fulfil his own desires. A gasp escaped my lips and I felt dizzy for a while as I lost my balance and fell on the floor, my phone still in my hands but I was panicking.Why was all of these happening in such a rush to me? What on earth was it that I had done to Nate to deserve this? First he drugs me then takes advantage of me and rapes to his satisfaction. Not only did he stop there, he also made a tape to intimidate and blackmail me. My heart began to beat faster as another gasp unconsciously fell from my mouth and a sob threatened to break through from me. I watched the whole video and my face was obvious

Elizabeth's povMy eyes were puffy by morning from all the tears I had shed the last night. I couldn't even try to hide the sadness on my face because it had eaten deep into my soul. I couldn't say I felt empty but I felt unworthy and useless as I stared at myself in the mirror. My legs were still feeling sore from my encounter with Nate and there was no one I could tell because I'll end up getting blamed and be told I also played a part in inviting Nate.A fresh round of tears wound up in my eyes and I couldn't help but try to muffle the cry that threatened to escape my mouth.Why was nothing going my way recently? I and Cole were having a blissful vacation with our friends only for it to turn to chaos at this point. I knew I was at fault for hiding my identity from Cole but he shouldn't have left me, he shouldn't have walked away when he could just control his temper, calm himself down and listen to my side of the story. He left me and I was desperate to have someone beside me in my

While drinking with his friends in the bar, he began to think of Elizabeth as he chugged the liquid down his throat, 'Elizabeth...' he slurred slowly in a whisper.He stared down at his glass as he twirled the margarita around. The chuckling and happy giggles of his friends had all ho e to the whirlwind as the thoughts of Beth began to envelope him.He suddenly began to miss her, 'but why would he even miss her?' he queried himself internally! It was just a contract marriage. Nothing more and nothing less, and besides in a few months the contract period will be over and I'll pay her off; out of my mind... Out of my life, forever.He said to himself, "Hey buddy" a voice had woken him out of his reverie it was Zayn. "Yeah?" Cole replied him, all eyes on the table were all focused on him. All wondering why he'd been quiet all this time."Is anything bothering you Cole? Cause you've been out of it for some time now" Zayn continued, acting like a big brother whom he could lean on at any t

LIZAI woke up to the sound of my notification alarm going off like a bell. My belly dropped as a gut instinct of what happened filled my belly. I knew what it was. I just didn't want to believe it.He did it. I snatched my phone from the table top, steeling myself to open it. The first thing I saw was the tabloid headline. I felt bile rise in my throat as my eyes scanned it."Billionaire's Wife caught cheating on him with proof!"And they just kept getting worse. I ignored the notification of people tagging me, knowing it would only take me back to where I was throughout these past nights.I opened my chat inbox, seeing about a thousand message notifications from my group chat with Crystal and Karry. I checked if Cole had texted me, but saw nothing. I ignored the side of me telling me I should leave him alone and texted him.Coco Honey Bear: Please call me. Don't look at the news. You need to hear me explain first.I opened the group chat next, skipping through the numerous messages,

BethLife was a bitch. Who said good always won? They lied. I am not the best person out there and I should have told Cole the truth but I did not deserve this. I had laid in my bathtub for what feels like mere minutes but when I moved my limbs, the intense pins-and-needle sensation made me realise it had been longer than that. I had ben sitting in this tub lost in thought for 2 hours. The same tub Cole and I had shared. The tears gathered in my eyes again and I tied to force them back. Crrying would not help. I had done enough of it the past 2 days to know. I needed a game plan, an organized, plan.Leaving the bathroom, I got dressed and by some twisted fate stepped on the remote. The TV came on and my face came on screen. It was a good picture of me that was used but that was not the point. The headlines were haunting “After Billionaire’s Wife is Found Cheating, Husband Returns Alone. Could it be the End to a Seemingly Perfect but Short-lived Marriage?” I crumbled to the floor. When
