Shattered Vows Chapter 31~ I Was Married
I wasn't in the house anymore. I was standing at an altar, draped in white. The air smelled of roses and candle wax, thick and heavy, suffocating. A man stood before me, his grip firm as he took my hand. His face blurred, hazy, unreachable, but everything else was vivid. The weight of a ring sliding onto my finger. The murmur of a gathered crowd. And then, "I now pronounce you husband and wife." My breath caught. Husband and wife. Meaning I was married. No. No, that couldn't be right. The memory shattered, and I gasped, my body jerking back to reality. My hands clutched at the closet door, nails digging into the wood. My heart slammed against my ribs, a wild, frantic rhythm. That wasn't a dream. That wasn't my imagination. It was real. I had been married. A cold wave of disbelief crashed over me. I could barely breathe around the weight of it. My fingers tightened against the closet, grounding myself, but the truth had already sunk in. This wasn't some fragmented illusion.

The silence in the truck was suffocating. I sat stiffly in the passenger seat, my mind spiraling as the road stretched endlessly ahead. The revelation gnawed at me—I was married. The words felt foreign, like they belonged to someone else. I pressed a hand to my chest, trying to breathe through the weight of it. Who was he? What kind of life had I left behind? And why hadn't he come for me? I clenched my fingers against my lap, my frustration building. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't summon his face. Just that moment at the altar—the weight of the ring sliding onto my finger, the priest's solemn pronouncement. It was real. It had to be real. But if I had been someone's wife, why did it feel like I was completely alone? The truck rumbled over the uneven road, and Liam remained quiet beside me, focused on driving. He hadn't pushed me about earlier, but I could feel the weight of his curiosity. He knew something was wrong. I turned to the window, desperate for a distraction.

Beep. Beep. Beep.The sound drilled into my skull like an alarm I couldn't snooze. My eyelids felt like they had been glued shut, my body heavy like I'd been hit by a truck—or maybe an entire army of them. Everything ached.I forced my eyes open, blinking against the blinding fluorescent lights. White walls. A hospital bed. Machines blinking beside me.Okay... I was definitely in a hospital."Can you hear me?"The voice came from a man standing way too close to my face. I squinted, trying to make sense of his blurred features. He was holding something—oh. A flashlight.Before I could react, he flicked it straight into my eyes. "What the hell, man? You trying to blind me?" I snapped, instinctively jerking my head away.The guy—who I now realized was a doctor—chuckled. "That's a good sign.""Says the man trying to burn my retinas."Behind him, a woman in a nurse's uniform smiled as she scribbled something on a clipboard. They didn't seem particularly horrified by my presence, which mean

The next time I saw the couple, they walked in looking like they'd been through an emotional rollercoaster. Mrs. Evans sat at the edge of my bed, gently taking my hands in hers."You must be so confused, sweetheart," she said softly."That's an understatement," I muttered, shifting under the covers.She hesitated, her fingers squeezing mine. "Honey, there's something you should know."Something about her tone made my stomach tighten."We... we're not actually your parents."Okay. That was a plot twist."What... what do you mean?" The words barely left my lips before my throat closed up. I don't know why it hurt, like a part of me actually wanted them to be. If they weren't my parents, then who was I?Mr. Evans sighed, his expression serious. "Two years ago, we found you unconscious near our farm. No ID, no phone. Just... there, as if you'd fallen from the sky."My stomach twisted."You were barely breathing," Mrs. Evans continued. "We rushed you here, and you've been in a coma ever si

I woke up to the scent of cedarwood and something undeniably masculine. Groggy and disoriented, I blinked at the ceiling, my brain struggling to reboot. The last thing I remembered was the hospital—the blaring alarms, Mrs. Evans calling my name, and then... nothing.So why was I here? And more importantly, where was I?I pushed myself up, scanning the room. It was neat, but definitely lived-in. A bookshelf stuffed with war history and mechanics books lined one wall. A desk in the corner was cluttered with papers, and near the wardrobe sat a set of weights that looked suspiciously like they'd never been used. The faint scent of cologne lingered in the air, wrapping around me like an invisible sign that read: You are 100% in a man's room.Okay. Time to panic.I gripped the blankets, my mind racing. Did I sleepwalk my way into some guy's room? Had I been kidnapped? Oh God, was I about to hear the words, Good morning, wife. You've been in a coma, but don't worry—we had a beautiful wedding
Last Updated : 2025-03-16Shattered Vows Chapter 4~ Was I A Criminal?
I have been living with the Evanses for the past three weeks, and I must say—they're really nice people. Ella treats me like a daughter. According to her, she always wanted a girl, but fate laughed in her face and gave her a male child instead. (Liam. Military man. Captain. Cool, right?)I can always see the proud smile on the Evanses' faces when they talk about him. They don't just love him—they admire him. Sometimes, I wonder what it's like to have people look at you like that."Breakfast is ready!" Ella calls from the kitchen.Oh, did I mention I'm a terrible cook? No, seriously—my food is worse than Ella's healing herbs. Cooking is definitely not my field. My field right now is literally a field—feeding and milking the cows with Mr. Evans.Every morning, I feel like I'm committing some kind of crime against those poor cows by touching their boobs. But according to Mr. Evans, it's actually helping them. Apparently, if we don't milk them, they get uncomfortable. Who knew cow boob ma

That night, I couldn't sleep.The old newspaper lay hidden beneath my mattress, but it felt like it was breathing beneath me—taunting me, whispering secrets I couldn't remember. I had only glanced at the torn edges, but the image of that woman—my face—was burned into my mind.My fingers twitched at my sides, aching to pull the paper out, to study it under the moonlight. But a bigger part of me was terrified of what I might find.Was I a criminal? A fugitive? A murderer? My breath came shallow and uneven. No, no—I couldn't be. Could I? But then... why had no one come looking for me? Why had I been left for dead?I pulled the blanket tighter around me, curling into myself. If the Evanses knew about this, would they still let me stay? Or would they be too scared to sleep under the same roof as me?A wave of panic crawled up my throat, thick and suffocating. I had finally found something good here. A home, a place where I was wanted. If my past caught up to me, I could lose all of it.I s

Morning came too soon. I woke up groggy, my body aching from last night's... incident. My backside still throbbed from my graceless fall, but my dignity had taken the biggest hit.Liam.I attacked Liam.A groan slipped past my lips as I rolled onto my stomach, burying my face in the pillow. How was I supposed to face him after that? I practically tried to kill him with my bare hands. Not exactly a great first impression.Maybe if I stayed in bed long enough, I could avoid him completely. A knock at the door shattered that hope."Dear, breakfast is ready," Ella's warm voice called. "Come eat before it gets cold."I hesitated. Food sounded tempting, but the thought of sitting across from Liam while he glared daggers at me made my appetite vanish.Still, refusing wasn't an option. So, with a resigned sigh, I pulled myself out of bed, ran my fingers through my tangled hair, and made my way downstairs. The moment I stepped into the kitchen, I felt it.Tension.Liam sat at the table, arms c

Shattered Vows Chapter 30~ This Can’t Be Real
The house was eerily quiet now. No more moans, no more laughter, no more Greg being a pain in my ass. Just silence. Finally. I let out a breath and tossed the last bit of trash into the bin. The house still felt dirty after last night, but at least now it didn’t look like a den of sin. Evans and Ella wouldn’t walk in and immediately start praying for my soul. I grabbed the mop, ready to finish up, when I felt it. A presence. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. The air shifted, growing heavier, charged. My spine straightened on instinct. Liam. Of course he was still here. I ignored him, dipping the mop into the bucket and scrubbing the floor with a little more force than necessary. Maybe if I focused hard enough, I could pretend he didn’t exist. No such luck. “Are you purging the house of evil spirits?” Liam’s voice was low, amused. I didn’t look at him. “Something like that.” Silence. Then the sound of his slow, deliberate footsteps. Closer. “So, last night…”
Shattered Vows Chapter 29 ~ LoveSick Fool
I barely got any sleep. And no, it wasn't because of my thoughts spiraling out of control or the fact that my brain refused to shut up. No, that would have been preferable. Instead, I was forced to endure an entire night of listening to Kim moaning Liam's name like some desperate, lovesick fool.The walls were too damn thin.I tried covering my ears with a pillow. I tried blasting music in my earbuds. I even contemplated suffocating myself with my own blanket just to escape the nightmare. Kim's voice is unmistakable, the breathy moans and hushed whispers making it painfully clear what's happening in the next room. Liam isn't loud, but i knows he's there, and that knowledge alone twists something ugly in my chest.But it wasn't just them. Oh no, because apparently, last night was sex night in this house. Jane and Greg? Loud. Sophia and Trevor? Even louder. I thought they were the quiet ones, but oh no, Sophia proved me very wrong. At one point, I actually debated whether to knock on th
Shattered Vows Chapter 28~ Do You Want Me To Stop?
Hunger gnawed at my stomach, and I didn't care how late it was. I padded into the kitchen, grabbing the jar of peanut butter from the counter. Twisting the lid off, I dipped my fingers in, scooping out a generous amount. Just as I was about to bring it to my mouth, a shadow moved in front of me. Liam. I tilted my head, smirking. "You're still here?" I licked a bit of peanut butter off my finger. "How does it feel to lose, huh?" His glare was sharp, eyes locked onto mine. Still mad. Noted. "Are you seriously still upset about losing?" I teased, dipping my finger back into the jar before sealing it shut and putting it away. Liam scoffed. "You think I lost?" I stepped closer, closing the space between us until the air between us thickened, charged with something almost dangerous. "Didn't you?" His jaw ticked. "You think a little lap dance was enough to break me?" I let out a soft, knowing laugh, placing my left hand on his chest while my right, still coated in peanut butter, hov
Shattered Vows Chapter 27~ Oh, He Wants More.
Kim rummaged through a stack of CDs beside the stereo, flipping through them until she found the one she wanted. "This should do," she said, sliding the disc into the player. A slow, sultry beat filled the room, the bass vibrating through the air. I let it sink in, let it roll through me. If I was going to do this, I was going to own it. Liam's smirk was still there, but I didn't miss the way his fingers twitched slightly against his thigh. Oh, he was trying so hard to act unaffected. I took my time, running a hand through my hair before straddling his lap, my knees sinking into the couch on either side of him. His body tensed beneath me, but he still refused to touch me. A challenge. Fine. Let's see how long that lasts. I placed my hands on his shoulders, nails grazing his skin as I slowly rolled my hips. Not too much, just a tease. A promise. Liam's jaw ticked, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. I leaned in, my lips brushing the shell of his ear. "Still think I can't
Shattered Vows Chapter 26~ Alright, Liam. Let’s Play
"Truth or dare?" she asked. Trevor stretched his arms lazily. "Let's go with truth." Jane's eyes glinted with mischief. "Alright, tell us the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you during a mission." Trevor groaned. "Oh, come on." "No backing out now," Kim teased. He sighed. "Fine. So, there was this one time during training exercises, I was supposed to sneak into a building undetected. Everything was going smoothly until my belt got caught on a window frame, and instead of landing like a badass, I ended up dangling upside down in front of my entire squad." Greg burst out laughing. "You mean to tell me the great Trevor got stuck like a piñata?" Trevor rolled his eyes. "Yes, Greg. Enjoy it while it lasts." Sophia wiped away tears of laughter. "That was worth it." "Whatever," Trevor muttered, looking thoroughly embarrassed. Greg smirked and spun the bottle. As it slowed, I felt a rush of relief. "Ah, my time is up," I said quickly, moving to stand from Liam's lap
Shattered Vows Chapter 25~ Your Turn, Soldier
Jane's eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned forward, clearly thrilled that I'd chosen dare. "Alright, let's make this interesting." Greg groaned. "Oh, here we go. Last time she said that, I ended up stuck in a tree with a stolen garden gnome." "That was one time," Jane shot back. "And you got down, didn't you?" "Yeah, after three hours and a lot of regretting my life choices." I chuckled, but Jane's attention snapped back to me. "Sara, I dare you to—" She paused for dramatic effect, letting the tension build. "—sit on Liam's lap for the next three rounds." Trevor let out a low whistle, while Greg cackled. Liam, however, looked unimpressed. "No." Jane ignored him, grinning at me. "That's the dare. Take it or forfeit." I tilted my head. "And if I forfeit?" Kim smirked. "Then you have to do a shot of hot sauce mixed with whatever alcohol we find in the kitchen." I wrinkled my nose. That sounded awful. Greg clapped his hands. "Oh, I love this game!" I glanced at Liam, who
Shattered Vows Chapter 24~ Truth Or Dare
The air in the living room had settled into a lazy hum, the TV playing in the background as Greg, Trevor, and I lingered around. Liam, as expected, was sitting back on the couch, uninterested in whatever nonsense Greg and Trevor were scheming. Trevor suddenly sat up, looking at me. "Hey, are Liam's parents home?" I raised a brow. "No, they went for a program and won't be back until tomorrow. Why?" I narrowed my eyes. "Are you planning something bad?" Trevor grinned. "Actually, I am." He leaned forward with a mischievous look. "Let's play a game. One that involves alcohol." I scoffed. "No thanks." Greg groaned. "Come on, Sara. Don't be boring." Trevor nodded. "It's just a game. A little truth or dare never hurt anyone." Liam, without looking up, muttered, "That's a lie. Someone always gets hurt." Greg waved him off. "Liam, please, let the rest of us have fun." Then he turned back to me. "So? Are you in or are you going to sit there and watch your sad little romance movie all ni
