The Stand In Wife's Revenge The Heartbreak
I woke up in a comfortable bed with the aroma of water and herbs still permeating the room. My body hurt but after the maids cleaned me up I felt so light. The tension was somewhat reduced by the warmth of the robe they had put on me but my heart's worries persisted. I had to see Caden. I had to explain everything.The situation that had developed between Ivy and me wasn't what she had said. I did not intentionally hurt her. He and I needed to talk. I couldn't bear the thought of him doubting me. I struggled to get out of the mattress. As I limped toward the door I winced because my legs were weak.Every step felt like it required more effort than the last but I continued driving down the quiet hallway while listening to the Packhouse remote. I could almost feel the silence as I passed through the packhouse. Although the thought of seeing Caden again made my heart race I was unable to stop myself at this point. I was forced to confront him. I had to help him understand. I paused when

I crawled into the nook of the bed, my knees drawn as much as my chest, and I let myself fall into the softness of the sheets.The room felt so massive and empty, more like my heart. It felt like everything had fallen apart in that one second when I noticed Caden with Ivy. The sound of my heart breaking echoed in my chest, and all I should do was to cry.Tears soaked my cheeks as I buried my face in my arms. My shoulders shook with every sob, and that i couldn’t stop it. I desired to scream, to run away from all of it, but where would i go? What would I do? there has been no escaping the harm inside me.I thought that I might want to consider him. I concept that everything he had said to me, each promise he had made, turned real. But now… now it felt like it changed into a lie.I wiped my face with my sleeve, but the tears simply kept coming. They wouldn’t stop, regardless of how awful it felt,I tried to hold them again. I felt so weak, so small.I ran my hand down my frame, feeling t

Tightening Caden's robe around my body I sat at the mattress with a tiny smile tugging at the corner of my mouth. I tried to hide the elation that welled up inside of me by twirling a lock of hair around my finger.Emerald had witnessed our moment. She had witnessed us together and that was precisely what I desired. I wanted her to realize that Caden was now mine and no matter how hard she tried she should never have him.My smile expanded as I heard the door creak open. There he was.Caden. His dark face and angry eyes were fixed on him as he stood in the doorway. I was unable to control the shiver of pleasure in my chest. This only marked the start.Caden said sharply "Ivy you shouldn't have done that." I feigned confusion by raising an eyebrow. With a harmless gamble I asked "What do you mean?. I didn't do anything wrong.""You know exactly what I mean," he yelled.His fingers were clenched at his sides as he approached me. "You were aware of her reactions. You were aware of the co

The tension between us was thick enough to sever with a knife and the dining room was eerily quiet.

"You must behave like Fiona for me. . ."Perplexed I blinked. "What?." He took a deep breath and continued. "Those who own stock in our business the shareholders are unaware that Fiona is in a coma. They will destroy everything we created together if they find out. All of the things she strived for. At least temporarily I needed someone to replace her." I stepped back and shoo

"I can't wait!"I stood in the dim light of our dining room, arranging the silverware nervously with my fingers for the fourth time. With soft music playing, flickering candles and the aroma of roasted chicken filling the air the table was perfectly set. This dinner took hours to prepare. In an effort to remind Liam of our past together, I tried to make everything right. After all, it was our anniversary . Despite being together for four years, it seemed like we were very far apart.I took a look at the wall clock. 7. 42 p. m. By now Liam ought to be at home. He had said he would arrive early tonight. No more excuses. I couldn't deny the nagging feeling that he wasn't returning in the manner that I wanted.My heart skipped a beat as I straightened up and the door finally opened. I called softly my voice full of hope "Liam?"He entered without looking up, dropping his briefcase on the floor. His suit was a little rumpled and he barely acknowledged me as he passed by without taking off

With my heart a heavy burden in my chest, I trudged toward our bedroom unable to break free from the silence that pervaded the house.The sounds of Liam's footsteps disappearing behind me only served to highlight how empty our relationship was becoming. Upon hearing the downstairs door slam I flinched.What was the point of chasing after him and insisting that he stay? His absence had already been more noticeable than any argument we could have.I forced open our bedroom door in the hopes of finding some comfort but at this point it was the last place that could provide it. I could only see the cracks in everything we used to have despite the gentle shadows cast by the bedside lamp. The bed we shared. Our common recollections.And now,a document that is currently on my side of the bed— divorce papers. I stopped.As I made my way slowly to the bed, my legs felt like jelly. The papers were waiting neatly stacked as if they had always been there. Liam seemed to have planned this for a lo

In the quiet of our bedroom—the one that had once been ours —I had packed my bag. The one in which we made a lifelong commitment to one another. Even though I had no idea where I was going I had to go. I had lost ownership of the house—our house. Not after his words, what he had done. I still felt as though the divorce papers were suffocating me like a weight in my hands.Everything I believed we had was torn apart by a thin stack of legal sheets. Without even looking at them Liam had given them to me as if they were just another document to be completed and crossed off his list of things to do. Just icy indifference without hesitation or emotion. It was impossible for me to stay. Not in that residence. Not when the void looms like a dense mist between us. So I left. I had no idea where to go but the street outside seemed like a good place to be. An area where I could vanish. Even though the night air was abrasive against my skin, it was unable to quench the fire within me. Like a

I blinked slowly, regaining my bearings as the sterile white ceiling above me came into focus.My headache dull pulsing in time with my heartbeat. I was unsure of where I was but I could feel a cozy pillow under my head. The sound of the rhythm of the heart monitor filled my ears which was both reassuring and unnerving.My mouth felt perched and I tried to swallow but my throat was so dry and tight . My body ached as though something—no, nothing—had struck me. I had a sudden flash of memory that I had been hit by something but the details were hazy and dispersed. As if the universe itself didn't want me to move too fast I shifted but the feeling of weakness pulled me back into position. "Hey there" A quiet voice next to me said and I looked around.Standing there with a soft smile on her face was a woman wearing scrubs. Her eyes were the kind that simply by gazing into them brought comfort.With my voice hardly audible above a whisper I croaked "Where… where am I?" The kind nurse s

The Stand In Wife's Revenge A Taste of Something New
The floor of the bedroom was streaked with gold as the morning light came in through the curtains. However warmth did nothing to relieve the cold burden on my chest. The agonizing relics of the nightmare continued to replay in my head. The tears of Ava. the shot. the blood.With a sharp exhale I wiped my face. My head ached and a dull lingering migraine was developing behind my eyes. The visions that wouldnt go away had robbed the sleep. Air was what I needed. After hauling myself from bed I put on a shirt and went into the hallway. I felt the mansions eerie stillness as it encircled me in silence. Too little noise was made. Until—. the slight rumbling of motion. Before I could think my feet dragged me to the kitchen. The air smelled of something savory and fresh herbs as I got closer. Softly the rhythmic sound of a knife striking a cutting board reverberated.I stopped as I rounded a corner. Standing at the kitchen counter Ava chopped tomatoes with a practiced ease her dark hair loo
The Stand In Wife's Revenge Between Two Shadows
The darkness encircled me oppressive and dense. The sheets coiled around my body like shackles and the bed beneath me felt far away but I was immobile. I was confined. A sharp sound faint at first but getting louder reverberated in my mind.Let it drip.Pour. Let it drip. I was standing in a long deserted hospital hallway when my eyes opened—inside the dream. The white sterile walls extended indefinitely on either side and the harsh fluorescent lights flickered overhead. A chill ran down my spine as the chilly air pressed against my skin. Something metallic hung beneath the familiar antiseptic smell that filled my lungs. Blood. The steady rhythmic sound of dripping water grew louder hammering at my skull. Water was absent though.Only silence was heard. Then—action. A door at the far end of the hallway creaked open. My throat tightened with breath. Fiona. She entered the gloomy light radiant and complete. Her delicate features were unaffected by illness and her dark hair fell in ge
The Stand In Wife's Revenge One Step Ahead
The sound of my phone buzzing sharply cut through the quiet of my room and vibrated against the bed. I wrapped a towel around my waist and exited the restroom steam curling behind me. I strode over to pick up the device dripping water from my hair onto my bare shoulders.A name appeared on the screen. Cole. my personal investigator. Quietly I hoped he had some good news. However I had a feeling that whatever he was going to say would be beneficial. I responded right away. "You have something tell me?"Coles tone was tinged with the satisfaction of a job well done and his voice was clear. "I have a lot more than that. I am in possession of everything." My heartbeat intensified. "Proceed." "Liam —where he goes what he does and who he hangs out with. He is constantly being watched."A slow smile pulled at my lip corner. "And?" "A penthouse is where he resides. luxurious confidential and safe. However he is not by himself. . . "A pause.I gripped the phone more tightly. “Ava?" With an
The Stand In Wife's Revenge Unwanted Longing
As soon as Alexander was gone I fell onto my bed and buried my face in my hands. My lips—God my lips still tingled from his kiss—my breath was still erratic and my heart was still pounding. I was embarrassed. However I was unable to ignore the reality at the same moment. I had given him a kiss. Furthermore I had desired it. I didnt fully understand the part of me that had yearned for a mans touch. I let him consume me and melted into him forgetting everything else for those fleeting moments.With a moan I leaned back against the headboard and pressed my fingers to my temples. Why in the world was I acting this way? I ought not to have permitted that to occur. The instant he leaned in and his lips touched mine I should have shoved him away. However I hadnt. He got what he wanted—no we both got what I had stood there and let him have.I traced the area where his mouth had been with my fingers to my lips. I could almost feel him there lingering and asserting. His hands holding me as tho
The Stand In Wife's Revenge A Dangerous Realization
I moved slowly deliberately and unsteadily down the dark hallway. My body was still burning from Avas ghost touch and my mind was still spinning. How in the hell had I become affected? I was out of control. Totally. I was always in charge of my behavior feelings and impulses. I had yelled however as soon as I saw her standing there staring at me with those wide unsure eyes.I felt like something had broken inside of me when she gasped and her lips opened just a little in shock. I then gave her a kiss. It wasnt just a kiss. I gobbled her up. I got to my door and combed my hair in frustration. Before pushing the door open and slamming it behind me my fingers balled into a fist.Though the sound reverberated throughout the room it was insufficient to block out my thoughts. With a groan I leaned against the door and closed my eyes. I had to stop thinking about her. I had to force myself to ignore the memories of how she tasted how her breath caught when I pressed harder on her lips and ho
