My Cold Husband Heaviness of Remorse
Upon arriving at the man’s house, Zared was introduced to his new family. The man’s wife greeted him with warmth and kindness, while the man's mother welcomed him with open arms. However, the man’s sister, who lived with them, was another story. Her demeanor was cold and aloof. She never showed genuine happiness for her brother or his wife, instead harboring a deep seated jealousy and resentment. Her spitefulness extended to her own brother's wife, who had been able to marry and start a family while she remained single and bitter. Despite the warmth and care from the man and his wife, Zared’s life took a dark turn. Over the years, his father’s sister’s bitterness turned into evil. The basement, once a place for family gatherings, became a chamber of horror. Whenever Zared’s parents were away, she would summon her men to bind him and subject him to cruel, abusive treatment and would sexually assault him. Her actions were driven by a twisted sense of control and revenge, and she thr

He recalled how he had allowed his fears to dictate his actions. The emotional wounds of his past and the regret of his present intertwined, leaving him with an overwhelming sense of sorrow and helplessness. The possibility of reconciliation seemed as distant as the happiness he had once envisioned, and the pain of his realizations became an unrelenting companion. The days passed in a blur for Lily. Despite her best efforts to immerse herself in her studies, her mind constantly drifted back to Zared. His tear-streaked face, the anguish in his eyes, and his desperate pleas for forgiveness haunted her thoughts. She sat at her desk, textbooks and notes sprawled before her, yet the words seemed to blur together. Each time she tried to concentrate, memories of Zared's visit invaded her mind. She saw him standing at the door, his voice trembling as he asked for her forgiveness. The image of him collapsing in the street, broken and weeping was seared into her memory. It was impossible t

The sea seemed to beckon him, a quiet whisper in the back of his mind. What if he just jumped? Would the world stop? Would Lily come for him? Would she finally feel something for him, even if it was just pity or regret? He stood there for a long time, lost in his thoughts. The idea of ending his misery became more appealing with each passing second. He climbed up onto the railing, his heart pounding in his chest. He balanced precariously, staring down at the dark water below. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, ready to let go of everything. Just as his feet slipped and he began to fall, a hand grabbed his arm, yanking him back onto the bridge. He fell onto the hard pavement, a sharp pain shooting through his head. Dazed and disoriented, he looked up to see who had saved him. "Lily?" he whispered in disbelief. She stood above him, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and concern. Lily had been walking in a daze, lost in her own thoughts, when she saw Zared standing on the

Tears streamed down his face as he nodded, though he didn't feel convinced. "I don't deserve your kindness, Lily. After everything I've done..." Lily's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm not doing this for you, Zared. I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do. Because I don't want to see you throw your life away. You've made mistakes, but that doesn't mean everything is over. You have to believe that."She stood up, pulling him gently to his feet."Now, let's get you home. You need rest, and you need to start thinking about how you're going to move forward."As they walked away from the bridge, the weight of their shared past hung heavy between them. Zared's steps were unsteady, but he felt a glimmer of hope for the first time in a long while. He didn't know what the future held, but he knew he had to try. Lily's heart ached as she guided him. She wished things could have been different, that he hadn't caused so much pain. But she also knew that she couldn't let him back in

As she reached out, their hands brushed against each other. The unexpected contact sent a jolt through her, and she instinctively pulled back, causing the hot coffee to spill all over Aaron. Aaron jumped up, more out of surprise than pain, while Lily's eyes widened in horror. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling. Her heart started to race, and she felt a familiar, suffocating panic beginning to rise. Images from her past flashed before her eyes. She remembered a similar incident with Zared, one that had ended in a shouting match and left her feeling small and terrified. The fear of a similar reaction from Aaron gripped her, and she began to hyperventilate. Aaron saw the panic in her eyes and immediately tried to reassure her. "It's okay, Lily, it's just coffee," he said softly, reaching out to touch her arm. But as his hand made contact, she recoiled, stumbling backward, her breath coming in short, ragged gasps. "No, no, no," she whispered, shaking
Last Updated : 2024-08-23My Cold Husband Reopening The Past
She was determined to do everything in her power to support Lily. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. She knew how hard it was for Lily to go through such things when it was so hard for her to watch her go through those, with a sigh she closed her eyes, deciding no matter how disturbing or hard it would be for her, she’d always be by her side through thick and thin.And Lily, though still haunted by her past, found comfort in the fact that she wasn't alone. She had a support system that cared for her deeply, she appreciated that while things might not be perfect for her right now, they were better than enough for her to go through. There was a time when she used to go through tougher situations all alone, without having anyone by her side, but now that she’s learned to handle things on her own, god had sent people for her, who care for her, to be by her side. She wished she had found them when she needed someone the most, when everyt

“I know, I know and I feel really really ashamed of this fact, but,I-I want to be with Lily okay, I support her, I am with her and I’ll always be with her, I’ll not let go even if Zared offers me a gazillion pounds.I revealed myself and left him the moment I got to know about what he did with Lily.” “That’s good.” “That’s it then? That was how you know Lily and this was how I know her.” “Yeah, I guess.” “You guess?” “I mean yeah.” “Is there anything you’re leaving out ?” “What? No, why are you being so weird?” “Because,Aaron.” She shrugged at him. “What?” “You stayed with Lily, in your dad’s house, I mean-” “Nothing happened, Clara.” Clara raised her brows as she stared at Aaron knowingly. “I’m being honest, nothing happened between us, I had just got her away from a rapist, she was raped, I wouldn't take advantage of her weakness.” “Oh…” Aaron nodded looking at his coffee. “She doesn't deserve Zared.” Clara said, looking into the distance. “Oh she de

“Glad.” Aaron said.”I never saw you at the campus.” “I haven't been able to attend for a few days.” “Oh, that’s fine.” “I’m gonna go from next week, I hope I haven't missed much.” “I can collect and provide you with the notes, if you want?” “That’d be great, thank you so much, you know anyone in my department?” “Oh, I know everyone in every department.” “Very social.” “I am, actually, I used to go up to everyone and make them my friend when I first joined, so that I never feel lonely on campus, if my best buddy doesn't come, I have plenty of people to pass my time with.” “That’s a good idea.” Lily laughed. “Do you have any friends there?” “Quite a few, but I don't know anyone very personally, just buddies.” “You hang out alone at the university then?” “Yeah, most of the time.” “We can hang out together, you know? I’m bored of my old friends anyways, I would love to keep you company.” “Sounds great, we can do that. But, just so you know, I hang out alone by choice." She

My Cold Husband Protection Failed
Aaron and Clara's faces were etched with helplessness. Lily took a shaky breath, her voice dropping to a whisper. “And then… then there was the car. I stepped forward… I thought if I just let it happen, the pain would stop-""You what?!" Aaron's voice rised without control. His voice was like a heavy metal bottle dropping in the pin drop silence of a class, making Lily and Clara, both of them flinch. "What were you thinking Lily? Huh? That you will leave just like Zared did, give in and leave us alone? Are you even listening to yourself right now?" "Aaron." Clara's soft voice indicated warning, "She's not in the stat-""Are you even aware of what she is saying right now? something must've happened to her, we wouldnt be here like this if she-""I'm sorry, for...causing the both of you to panic. But nothing happenned… someone pulled me back. I felt hands grabbing me, strong hands, pulling me out of the way. But I never saw their face. Everything went black after that, and when I woke
My Cold Husband Break In
The person who still won't let go, but everything felt heavy-her limbs, her head, even her eyelids. The edges of her sight turned black, her body giving in to the weight of exhaustion, fear, and something she couldn’t quite name. And then: nothing.Lily’s eyelids fluttered open and her gaze unfocused as the dim light of her bedroom filtered through her vision. The soft weight of her blanket was tucked snugly around her. Her caramel hair splayed across the pillow, strands sticking to her damp forehead. For a moment, she simply lay there, staring at the ceiling, her chest rising and falling in slow, uneven breaths. How did I get here? She turned her head slightly, glancing around the room. The curtains were drawn halfway, letting in the muted glow of what seemed to be the street light? The house was unnervingly quiet-no faint hum of Clara’s cooking in the kitchen, no muffled voice of Aaron speaking on the phone in the hallway. She pushed herself up on shaky arms, her head throbbi
My Cold Husband An Unconscious Step
“Lily… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make this harder for you. But please, just… don’t shut me out. Don’t shut us out.” For a long moment, Lily said nothing. Her gaze was far away, lost in a sea of emotions once again, too tangled for her to process. But then, slowly, hesitantly, she leaned forward, her forehead pressing against Aaron’s shoulder. Her voice was barely a whisper, trembling and fragile. “I’m so tired, Aaron. I don’t know how to stop feeling this way.” Aaron’s arms wrapped around her carefully, pulling her into a gentle embrace. “You don’t have to figure it out alone, Lily. We’ll take it one step at a time. I’ll be right here, every step of the way. Don't worry." He once again had the urge to call her 'love'. But he couldn't. For the first time in weeks, Lily let herself lean into him fully, her frail body trembling against his as silent tears soaked into his shirt. And Aaron held her-held her like she was something fragile and precious, something he would nev
My Cold Husband Threads of Midnight
There she was-sitting on the floor by the window, knees drawn to her chest, her arms wrapped tightly around them. Her caramel hair was unkempt, strands falling over her pale face. The moonlight washed over her frail figure, making her look even smaller, more fragile. “Lily…” Aaron’s voice was soft, cautious. She didn’t move, didn’t look at him. He stepped inside, his chest aching at the sight of her. Slowly, he lowered himself to sit beside her on the floor, his shoulder barely brushing hers. His heart ached, ached that the man who had caused her nothing but pain is still continuing to do it even after his death and Aaron couldn't do anything about it. “You don’t have to say anything,” he murmured, staring out at the same moonlit view she seemed fixated on. “But I’m here. I’ll always be here. I just want you to know." For a moment, it seemed like she might respond, her lips parting slightly, but then she closed them again, her gaze dropping to her knees, it made Aaron tak
My Cold Husband Depression and Remorse
He couldn’t shake the feeling, couldn’t silence the voice in the back of his mind screaming that Zared wasn’t gone. Zared was sharp, calculating, a man who wouldn’t fall so easily. But Aaron had no proof, no real reason to believe it-only a gnawing instinct buried deep in his chest. "He’s alive," the thought whispered again. But Aaron forced the thought away, shaking his head slightly before turning his attention back to Lily. She was still sitting there, small and fragile in the dim light, and he realized she needed comfort more than he needed answers to the questions clawing at his mind. “Hey,” he said softly, nudging her knee with his. “How about some hot chocolate? It won’t fix everything, but it might make this night feel a little less heavy.” Lily looked up at him, a ghost of a smile flickering across her lips for the first time that night. “Sure, thanks.” Aaron stood, his movements careful as if not to disturb the fragile calm that had settled between them. A few
My Cold Husband His House
For one fleeting moment, Lily felt him there-with her, surrounding her, a warmth that would linger in her heart long after she walked away from his home for the last time. "Oh, what have you done Zared." She said aloud. "Why did you have to do it, it was all your fault for turning your fate, why make me suffer by doing this." She sat on the couch with her head in her hands. Clara's home was dim when Lily returned, the faint glow of a lamp spilling light into the hallway. Her steps were slow, almost hesitant, as she pushed the door open and stepped inside. Aaron was pacing near the window, his phone clutched tightly in his hand, while Clara sat curled on the edge of the couch, her head snapping up the moment the door creaked. “Lily!” Aaron’s voice cut through the silence as he rushed towards her. “Where have you been? Do you have any idea how worried we’ve been?” Clara stood, her eyes wide with concern. “You didn’t answer your phone. We thought… we thought something happ
My Cold Husband Missing
The clock on the wall ticked loudly, each second stretching longer than the last. Clara sat on the couch, clutching her phone tightly in her hands, her thumbs hovering over the screen as if another call might suddenly bring an answer. “Aaron…” she said quietly, her voice trembling. “It’s been hours. She’s not picking up. Where could she have gone?” Aaron stood by the window, his back to her, his jaw clenched so tightly it ached. His phone was already gripped in his palm, the screen blank after too many unanswered calls. “She wouldn’t just disappear like this,” he said, his voice sharp, his frustration barely contained. “Not without telling someone. Not after everything that’s happened.” Clara’s eyes shone with worry as she whispered, “What if something happened to her, Aaron?” Aaron turned, his expression softer now as he looked at her. “Don’t think like that. She’s okay. She has to be.” But even as he said the words, doubt gnawed at him. Without another word, Aaro
My Cold Husband Grief and Fear
Lily hesitated but eventually said, "Did you see how he did it?" She looked up at Aaron. "Did you see how he was found ? Laurent, the pictures on the news, they were so disgusting, he had...you must've seen." "I did." Aaron noticed the disgusted look on her face. He once again recalled how he had done it. How he had screamed like the goat when it is sacrificed, how his eyes went rolling behind showing only the white part. How he had joined his fingerless hands in front of him in order to be forgiven. "Maybe he deserved it...Zared, for what he did, Karma, they say?" She asked. Aaron nodded in response but remained silent. He knew he was betraying her, betraying her trust, taking advantage of the situation she was in, the trust she had at this vulnerable stage of her life. In the quiet of the room, Aaron’s guilt festered, hidden beneath the surface. Lily didn’t need to know the truth-not tonight, and maybe not ever. But that was for him to decide after. Aaron's mind was in t
My Cold Husband Beneath The Lies
His hand moved to the doorknob, twisting it slowly until the latch clicked open instead of knocking in case she was asleep. Peeking inside, he expected to see her resting, maybe curled up in the blankets. Instead, he found her awake, sitting stiffly on the edge of her bed. The moonlight cast a silvery glow across her features, making her appear ethereal and distant. She was staring out the window, her expression blank yet hauntingly sad, as though she were lost in a memory she couldn’t escape. She didn't deserve this, didn't deserve such a tragedy, she was way too nice for this world, for Zared. He didn't deserve her agony, her tears, her sleepless nights. Aaron hesitated again but finally stepped inside, giving a soft knock on the door to announce himself. The sound made her blink, breaking her trance. She glanced at him, her gaze piercing for the briefest second before it dulled again, returning to the view outside the window. Without waiting for an invitation, Aaron move
