**Third person**“It's so good to finally see you awake." A grin was plastered on Robert's face as he settled onto the bed beside her.“Thank you.” She smiled awkwardly.Robert immediately took her hand, his gaze lingering on her for a beat too long. “I really missed you.”There was tension in the air—a hidden current—that made Chloe's skin prickle. Elizabeth bustled around the room, straightening throw pillows and fussing over nonexistent wrinkles in the bedspread."Dinner will be ready soon," Elizabeth suddenly announced, her voice brittle. "Why don't you two lovebirds get acquainted? I need to check on the casserole," she said cheesily as she headed for the door.Chloe's cheeks flushed slightly; they had told her this man was her husband, but everything felt so foreign.The moment the door shut behind Elizabeth, Robert leaned in close, his lips aiming for hers. Chloe flinched back, startled by the sudden intimacy.Regret flickered across Robert's face. "I'm sorry," he mumbled, his
**Third person**They'd kept Chloe somewhere on the outskirts of Miami. Surely, that wouldn't be a problem because after they sent Chloe's twin, Cara, to Jeff, he stopped looking for her.It had taken Robert less than an hour to get to Laura's apartment. The scent of lilies hung heavy in the air as Robert pushed open Laura's front door. Unannounced. Unwelcome. Her back was to him, a fragile silhouette framed by the kitchen window, washing dishes with a ferocity that spoke volumes.She was cursing underneath her breath, the events of the day replaying in her head."Laura," he announced, his voice tight.She spun around, the soapy water dripping from her hands. Her eyes were narrowed with a cold fury, but that didn't seem to have any effect on Robert."What do you want?" she spat, her voice laced with venom.He took a menacing step forward. "Don't play coy with me, Laura. You know exactly why I'm here.""Oh, should I?" Laura challenged, wiping her hands on a dish towel. "Enlighten me,
**Third person**Robert arrived at the Surfside in Miami to see Chloe very early the next morning. The scent of the vanilla air freshener hung in the air as the door creaked open. Robert, a forced smile plastered on his face, entered Chloe's room."Good morning, my love," he boomed, his voice a touch too cheerful. "I didn't expect you to already be awake."“You're here early,” Chloe said with a soft smile as she dropped the book in hand and sat up. "I know you missed me, silly," Robert commented, ruffling Chloe's hair with a playful touch. She giggled, a sound that warmed Robert's heart despite the knot of worry tightening in his stomach. Lily was coming by later today, and she was still oblivious to the fact that he'd dumped her.Settling into the bed, Robert cleared his throat. "So, Cara, how do you feel today? Any new memories surfacing?"Chloe tilted her head, her brow furrowed in concentration. "Not really," she admitted. "Just... feelings of... I feel a sense of familiarity w
**Third person**The silence stretched on, a suffocating blanket threatening to consume them. "Is something wrong?" Chloe innocently asked Robert, her brow furrowing in concern.She'd noticed that he looked tense.“Of course not,” Robert immediately assured her, his mind racing for a plausible explanation. He stammered, "Well, uh, it's just a little headache."“Big sis,” Lily purred, squeezing Chloe's hand. “Did Robert tell you about how happy your marriage was?”Chloe chuckled, feeling slightly embarrassed. “No, he didn't,” she replied innocently. “Mum just told me that Robert and I were married, but they didn't go into much detail.”Robert’s breath hitched as he shot Lily a warning glare. What was she up to? “So my mom was involved in this too?” Lily thought, her heart burning with malice.Seeing Robert's glare at her, she huffed slightly and focused her attention back on Chloe. “Ouuu, what a shame. Your relationship was quite the spicy one; I was even envious.”Chloe turned to lo
**Third person**Robert met her gaze head-on, a flicker of defiance igniting in his eyes. "So what if I did?" he countered, his voice dripping with a cold indifference.Lily gasped in disbelief. "Wow, you're really saying that to my face?" She at least expected Robert to deny it."Why is Lily acting like it is a problem to want her sister?" He thought to himself. After all, Chloe was more attractive.He scoffed, walked over to the desk, and started fiddling with a pen. "Life throws curveballs, Lily; you always have to be ready for anything."Lily huffed, clearly startled by Robert's indifference. “So what? Do you like her? Since when?”"Don't be dramatic," Robert retorted, a cruel edge to his voice. "Your sister is very beautiful, and she's kind; what's not to like? You didn't think I would've just married any random girl you brought?”“Wow…” Lily managed to murmur. Robert smiled; the shock on Lily's face seemed to amuse him. He'd tried to hit on Chloe even when she fell pregnant; Li
**Third person**Lily and Robert were startled by the sudden interruption.They remained frozen for a few seconds, Lily still settled on top of Robert with his dick buried deep in her, before they registered the face at the door.It was Elizabeth, and so they both sighed in relief.Elizabeth blinked rapidly a couple of times, unsure if the scene before her was actually real.“Have you two lost your minds?” She snarled.Robert's eyes on the door darted back to Lily, ignoring Elizabeth. And he spanked her right butt cheek lightly to bring her attention back to him.“Just one more bounce; I'm about to cum,” he whispered. Elizabeth's eyes widened, and she gasped in shock as she watched Lily bounce a few more times before Robert's sperm came flying out. “Fuck!” He groaned, his voice barely above a whisper. Anger coursed through Elizabeth, and she clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. “How shameless can you two be?” She snapped. "Of all the places you two could have chosen
**Third person**The room was silent for a while. Chloe's gaze traveled to Robert's face, searching for answers.“What's the problem?” She pressed on when Robert remained silent for a while.He stood up and walked to the window. One of his hands held the window for support, while the other ran through his hair. “You had surgery for your stomach cancer,” he blurted out. “Cancer?” Chloe echoed, her eyes widening in shock as she clutched a throw pillow to her chest. “I have stomach cancer?” “It's all gone now.”Robert's lips thinned, and he turned to look at her. “I didn't want to tell you about this now, but when you went abroad to school, you used to take all types of drugs.”“Huh?” Chloe seemed too stunned to speak.Robert's chest heaved as he inhaled deeply and then exhaled. “Even your coma was drug-induced.”Since Chloe is now living as Cara, it's only fair to give her Cara’s history as well. “I tried to monitor you and stop you, but I couldn't be around you all the time. So whe
**Third person**"Chloe?" Robert's brows furrowed in shock. Where could she have seen the name? He tried to think of possibilities, but his head remained blank."You just called me Chloe," she pointed out.Ahhh, the problem was from him. He sighed inwardly."Did I?" Robert asked back, feigning ignorance. "Maybe you heard wrong.""Really?" Chloe pressed, her voice filled with doubt. She was pretty sure that she heard him call her Chloe just now.Perhaps Robert was seeing someone else?That was the most natural thing to think when your husband calls you by another girl's name, especially at a moment like this where he's talking about his love for you.Robert's nose wrinkled, and he stared at Chloe intently as he prepared to gaslight her. "You're starting to lose your short-term too; don't you think we should go for a proper check-up?""Me? I feel just fine."Robert shrugged slightly. "Or perhaps... have you gone back to taking hard drugs?"A flicker of annoyance crossed Chloe's face.
