Chapter 2

“Leo," Anthony says as he follows me around the room. His voice is dripping with disbelief. "You can't be serious. I refuse to believe that you're saying this to me." "Well, it's the truth," I answer as calmly as possible. He pauses and runs his hand down his face. His eyes are wide as he beholds me. "But you barely know the guy! You don't know anything about him. You're seriously serious about marrying him? After only a month of knowing him?" I check my reflection in the mirror one last time before stepping back. My hair is in a half-updo and the rest of it is hanging low, nearly down to my butt. My makeup up is simplistic but my lips are a dark red color that my makeup artist told me suits me well. The baby pink dress I'm wearing is simple and perfect for the event. I didn't want anything over the top. It's a very small engagement party. Anthony is still staring at me. I still haven't answered him. "Leonora." I turn my head slowly to look at him. "I don't know what yo

Chapter 3

The day of our wedding arrives, and I couldn't be happier. I'm over the moon. It's finally happening. It felt like waiting endlessly for the best day of my life and now that it's here, I just want it to happen so I can experience all the things I've been dreaming of ever since he asked to marry me. Tonight will be a full moon, so the date is auspicious. Oddly enough, our wedding ceremony is even smaller than our engagement party. The only guests are Anthony, his uncle Charlie, and some of the staff from our house. Well, the ones who could come. Anthony will be the one to walk me down the aisle of the small chapel. I thought I'd go alone but he insisted last minute, claiming that he didn't want me to do this alone. I appreciate him for it even though I don't agree with how he treats Evan. We're standing at the door. I'm in my wedding dress, which is a mermaid-style dress that huge my slim body perfectly. The sleeves are made of lace and are long, and I have a long veil trailing beh

Chapter 4

I sit up, holding the sheets up to my neck. I look around the room but don’t spot him. “Evan?” I say loudly. No answer. Could it be that he went downstairs for some reason? My concern gets me to my feet and I walk into the bathroom. I have to shower and then throw some clothes on. Perhaps by the time I’m done, he’ll come back. I spend only five minutes in the shower. Yesterday feels like a fever dream but I don’t dwell on it too much. I’m too distracted by the fact that Evan isn’t here. I know it’s ridiculous to feel this magnitude of concern but this is our first morning as a married couple. He should’ve been here when I woke up. That makes me a little upset. I open my briefcase and opt to wear a long, flowy dress. I meant to wear this to breakfast. I finish getting ready and Evan still isn’t back. I place my hand on my hip and then decide to call him. I’m sure he took his phone with him. I sit on the edge of the unmade bed and hold the phone against my ear. I frown when I he

Chapter 5

My mouth is as dry as the desert.Anthony still hasn’t turned around to face me. His back is facing me but his whole body has gone rigid. I’m paralyzed with shock. No, he can’t be implying that Evan ran away with all my money. That can’t be it because I know the man I married and he isn’t like that. He’s kind and honest. He gave me a bag full of money when he could’ve taken it all for himself and I would never know anything about it. Anthony finally turns back around. The way he’s looking at me breaks my heart and makes me angry at the same time. He’s always assumed the worst of Evan. I say, “Stop it, Anthony. Just stop.”He strides toward me and then hands his card to the receptionist. He says, “I’ll take care of the bill. Don’t worry about it.”I stand aside, humiliated and angry at him. Angry that he would assume such a thing.He grabs my bags and helps me load them in the car. I’m mildly aware of my hands shaking. He closes the trunk and then turns to look at me again, that str

Chapter 6

The damage is bigger than any of us could’ve guessed. Evan cleaned out all my bank accounts. Every cent that belonged to my parents is now in his hands. He sold the shares of the company about a week ago and someone bought me out of the company, which means I have nothing. The company that my parents built from the ground up now belongs to someone else. It was all done legally because he signed for me, and so I have no way of getting it all back. “Because his actions have led to financial harm, we can legally challenge him and get him to give you back a portion of the money, but for that, we have to locate him. Do you have any idea of where he might be?”That’s the question everyone keeps asking me. I don’t know where he is or where I might find him. The world is huge. He could be anywhere right now. Anywhere. The only thing the asshole didn’t sell was my family home. It’s still with me. Anthony says that I should sell it before he does, and overall, it’s the best decision becaus

Chapter 7

Eight months later, I bring my baby boy home from the hospital.Everything went well and he's a healthy baby boy. From the first trimester, I settled on a name. Victor. His name is Victor Bardwell. It's a name I've always loved and I think it suits him well enough.It's been almost a year since I last saw Evan. However, I haven't stopped thinking about him and with every day that passes, I feel certain of what I want the outcome of this situation to be. That asshole. To take all my money and leave me pregnant with his child is...I don't even have words for how foul that is. I'm beyond the point of heartbreak. Every time I look at Victor's face, I'm filled with a newfound strength. I'll have to face all of this for him. I'll have to fight hard to give him a better life. If my prospects were bad before I found out o was pregnant then I don't want to know what they're looking like now.If it weren't for Anthony's support, I don't know what would've become of me. During the pregnancy, I

Chapter 8

Ten Years Later...I open the door to Victor's bedroom and watch his face for a reaction. His jaw drops open as he looks around. "Mom," he says in awe, "this looks amazing!""Right?" I say. "I knew you'd like it. I did everything with you in mind. I'm glad you like it.""I don't just like it," he says before throwing himself on his bed. "I love it!"I laugh and get in bed with him. I stare at the ceiling and see the glow-in-the-dark stars that I pasted on the ceiling. The whole bedroom has a galaxy theme to it. From a very young age, Victor has been obsessed with the universe. He always talks about stars and the planets. So, to help him cope with us moving to another city which is miles away from the town he was raised in, I decided to give him this room. It cost quite a lot of money to put together and the wall directly across from the bed was painted by a professional, as I've never been good at painting and I wanted there to be plants painted on it, but I'm incredibly overjoyed b

Chapter 9

After dropping off Victor at his new school and assuring him that he’d have a good day because he’s just about the best kid in the world, I make my way to work. I’m dressed in a standard nurse’s uniform because I feel like it’ll impress my interviewer. I’ve added on my fake resume that I have a job I work at night so it gives them the impression that I’m very capable. The number is Anthony’s, and he’ll answer the call and give them a good feedback in case they do decide to call. Which I think they might. I’ve been planning this meticulously for weeks and I have high expectations for how things are going to go. I’m very confident that I’ll get the job. The Redburn Estate is on the other side of the city, which is more quiet. It seems Evan lived in a gated community. Fancy. Every time I think about it, I can’t help but feel pangs of hatred because he used my money to get to where he is. Well, soon, he’ll realize that he should’ve just left me alone. Honestly, I could

Chapter 10

“So,” Mr. Montgomery begins, “before we start, would you like something to drink? Water perhaps? Something else?”I say, “No, sir, thank you for offering.”“I would like it if you called me Julius,” he informs me. “I feel Mr. Montgomery is too…formal. If we’re to work together, then I would like for us to get to know each other very well.”I smile and nod. “Of course.”Right off the bat, I can tell that this man isn’t what I expected him to be. When they mentioned an older patient, I thought they meant that he would be senile or something. That’s not the case because this man is very sharp. Too sharp. He’s not even that old. In fact, I don’t like the way he’s studying my face nor how his gaze keeps lingering on my chest area. A terrible feelings develops in my gut area and suddenly, I understand why the position wasn’t taken yet. It was too good to be true, and usually when that happens, it means that it probably is. “You’re certainly overdressed,” he tells me matter-of-factly. I l
