Maria snapped of a piece of bacon and popped it into her mouth, not bothering with the fact that the grease was dripping onto her gloves. “Eh, mishandled finances, unexpected medical bills...the whole shebang.” “I see,” I said, unsure of what to say next. Instead, I poured more syrup on my pancakes
That evening, a heavy cloud of regret settled over me as I sat on the edge of my couch, my thoughts swirling in a chaotic dance. I had really messed up. Exposing even a sliver of my relationship with Timothy had left me feeling as though I had betrayed our private moments, and the weight of it press
All too soon, the front door swung open, and Aria breezed in, her energy contagious as always. She carried a bag of take-out in one hand and flashed a bright smile at me. "Hey, Evie! I brought dinner." I shoved the letter between the couch cushions and grinned at her. "Perfect timing, Aria. I'm sta

Photos of me, often taken from my public appearances, were paired with heartfelt captions and hashtags that speculated about my connection to Timo

Timothy's jaw was set, his expression tense as he guided me through the bustling streets towards a nearby café. The bell above the door jingled as we stepped inside, and the pleasant aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air. The dimly lit interior offered a welcome respite from the chaos outsid
Timothy offered a look of sympathy. "It’s like they get crazier by the year. I’ve never seen them throw stuff at the other women I’ve been around." Just the mention of him having other women in his company made me choke on my drink. "Oh," I said, my voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "Glad I’m
As I walked through my apartment door, I found Aria sitting on the couch, her brows furrowed in concern. "Where have you been?" she asked worriedly, already rushing toward me. I sighed, dropping my bag by the door. "Aria, you don't have to always ask that." She shook her head. "Yes, I do. Especia
"Plenty of space here,” he started. “I figured…we could easily convert this into a nursery someday." My heart skipped a beat at his words, the mere suggestion sending a wave of emotions crashing over me. A nursery—our nursery. The thought of starting a family with Timothy filled me with a sense of
As Timothy led me through the threshold, his hands cupping my eyes gently, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in my chest. This was it—the moment we had been waiting for. Our new beginning, our haven. Duke trotted alongside us, his tail wagging in anticipation. I could sense the air th
The flight back home felt like a whirlwind, the memories of our honeymoon paradise fading into the background as the reality of returning to our everyday lives set in. But as the plane touched down and we made our way through the bustling airport, a knot of anxiety tightened in my chest at the thoug
"Welcome, welcome!" she exclaimed, her voice as sweet as honey. "Would you like to try some of our local fruits?" We nodded eagerly, and she began slicing pieces of fruit with practiced ease, offering them to us on skewers. I reached for a slice of mango, its flesh ripe and juicy beneath my finger
As the plane descended toward the island, my heart fluttered with excitement. The anticipation bubbled within me as the tropical paradise came into view, its crystal-clear waters shimmering like liquid sapphires beneath the golden sun. We stepped off the plane into paradise, the air heavy with the
When it finally came time to, he entered me, and my teeth clenched as I stretched around his erection. I gasped as he began to move inside me, each thrust slow and deep. The pleasure intensified until at last I was teetering on the edge of oblivion. I clung to him desperately, my nails digging into
As the festivities of our wedding night drew to a close, Timothy and I found ourselves heading up to the honeymoon suite, drunk on love and excitement. The air crackled with anticipation as we stumbled through the door, our laughter echoing off the walls. The soft glow of candlelight cast ethereal
The lights dimmed and the room fell silent. On the large screen at the front of the room, images of Timothy and his mother, Lydia, began to flash by, accompanied by gentle music that tugged at the heartstrings. I watched as Timothy's tearful gaze locked onto the screen, his eyes filled with a mixt
