Chapter 31

It’s a relief getting Back home, Nathaniel is waiting for us, his expression a mix of eagerness and worry. "What did the doctor say?" he asks, pulling me into his arms.“I'm okay; it's just exhaustion, and I might be coming down with something.” I look up to him. "Relax; I will be fine in time for the wedding.” I let out a laugh to soften the mood. He smiles, and he moves in to give me a kiss. I can smell whiskey on him. Nathaniel hates whiskey and never drinks in the middle of the day. Nathaniel’s grip tightens around me. "I'm glad you are okay.” He takes me into the house.Anna is lounging on the couch, a bottle of whiskey almost gone. The two glasses on the table catch my attention.“Don’t worry, me and Nathaniel were just catching up, like old times.” Anna's voice sends a stab through my chest. Everything she says holds so much weight.I shrug. “I am going upstairs; I need to rest.”What did Anna mean? It doesn’t matter; she’s leaving in two days. But a lot can happen in two days,

Chapter 32

I’m a mess. The suitcase sprawls open on the bed, half-packed, mocking my futile attempts to hold my life together. Each item I throw into it feels like I’m tearing a piece of my heart away, discarding memories, dreams, and hopes. My hands tremble, fingers slipping on zippers and clasps, as I struggle to breathe through my sobs. This again. My heart is getting torn out for the second time in as many months.“Megra, stop! Please, just stop and think about what you’re doing.” Liza’s voice cuts through the air, soft yet desperate. She stands in the doorway, her eyes wide with worry. “Wait for Nathaniel to come back from work. You two need to talk before making such a hasty decision. You can't just leave. Why would you let that vile woman come in and destroy everything?”I shake my head, tears streaming down my face. “I can’t, Liza. If I see him, I won’t be able to leave. He’ll remind me of our contract, and I won’t have the strength to go. And he chose to betray me.”Liza steps closer, h

Chapter 33

I slide into the back seat of the taxi, the door closing with a soft thud. As the car pulls away from the curb, I look back at the house one last time. It looms in the distance, a monument to a life that wasn’t meant to be.As we drive away, my thoughts swirl with memories. The laughter, the arguments, and the tender moments that made me believe in a future with Nathaniel. And then the betrayal, the pain, and the realization that I could never be enough for him. That he could never see me as more than a contract or an obligation. Why did he choose to sleep with me right after doing the same with Anna? Why did he say she meant nothing to him if he was just going to bring her to our house? Why wouldn’t he just ask me to leave instead of doing the same thing his nephew did?The city blurs by outside the window, and I press my forehead against the cool glass, trying to calm my racing heart. So many thoughts. I think of my mother, her strength, and her resilience. She raised me alone, and

NathanielI’m driving home, my hands steady on the wheel, but inside, I’m buzzing with excitement. The sun is setting, casting a golden glow over the horizon, matching the warmth in my chest.

Silence. The house feels unusually still. “Megra, where are you?”No answer. A slight unease creeps into my excitement, but I brush it off. She must be upstairs, or maybe out in the garden. I stride through the hallway, my footsteps echoing ominously. The house seems uncomforta

Chapter 35

NathanielI'm lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to find solace in sleep. The sheets feel cold, and the emptiness beside me is a stark reminder of what I've lost.

I tried so hard not to let her find out my mistake.The darkness in the room mirrors the chaos in my mind.

Chapter 36

Anna.Nothing hurts more than rejection. Coming back to San Francisco was never part of my plan, but here I am, standing on the cusp of a life I once knew so intimately. The city’s foggy embrace feels colder than I remember, or perhaps it’s the chill of my own bitterness seeping through. My intentions are clear: reclaim Nathaniel. The news of his engagement to someone named Megra hit me like a bolt of lightning, and I knew I had to act fast.I never imagined Nathaniel would fall in love again. He is mine, and I do not share. Not after what we had. He was mine, always mine. Determined to get him back, I have a plan. I walked into his office with confidence, hoping to seduce him and remind him of what we shared. I was amazed to see her resemblance to me. Wow, Nathaniel was trying to replace me. Of course, he fell into my arms. Passionately, we touched, and I could see him light up.I can still feel his breath on me. I thought I could see a spark in his eyes. I was swept away when he tol

Chapter 37

MegraI wake up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, the early morning light streaming through the thin curtains. For a moment, I lie there, staring at the ceiling, trying to orient myself. The familiarity of the room is comforting, yet it's laced with bittersweet nostalgia. I'm back in Stockton, the town where I grew up, but everything has changed. I rest a hand on my belly, wishing I could feel the slight movements inside, a reminder of the new life I'm carrying. I take a deep breath, steeling myself for the day ahead. Starting fresh is never easy, but I'm determined to make it work.After getting dressed in comfortable jeans and a loose blouse, I step outside, locking the door behind me. I wish I could lock myself in and contemplate my defeat, but I brought nothing other than my clothes. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and earth, instantly bringing back memories of my childhood.I take a deep breath, savouring the familiarity. I need to gather some essenti

Chapter 38

Nathaniel.Sitting in my office, I stare at the contracts spread out on my desk, but my mind is elsewhere. The phone rings, jolting me from my thoughts. It's my lawyer. "Mr. Coven, I've tracked Megra back to her hometown," she says, her voice professional and steady."Is she there now?" I ask, leaning forward, my heart racing."Yes, she's back in Stockton. I'm waiting outside her house.""Good. Bring her back home," I say, the relief palpable in my voice. I hang up the phone, exhaling a breath I didn't realise I was holding. She's been found. Now, I just need to figure out how to apologise and how to make things right after my betrayal.Cheating on Megra was the biggest mistake of my life. Anna was a distraction, a momentary lapse in judgement, but it cost me everything. The guilt gnaws at me daily. I need to make Megra understand that it meant nothing and that she means everything to me. The thought of her carrying our child and being alone because of my actions is unbearable.Anna h

Chapter 39

MegraA knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. I look over at Callum, confusion written across my face. I have only been back a day; surely I can't already be getting any guests. "Who could that be? I'm not expecting anyone."Callum shrugs. "I don't know; I haven’t told anyone you are back. I am sure a lot of people would love to see you. I can get it if you want."I shake my head, pushing myself up from the couch. "No, this is my house. I should probably get acquainted with the neighbours anyway."As I walk towards the door, an uneasy feeling settles in my stomach. I take a deep breath and reach for the handle, my heart pounding in my chest. When I open the door, I understand why. Nathaniel is standing there, flowers in his hands."Nathaniel? What are you doing here?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper."We need to talk," he says, his tone firm as he pushes his way into the house, not waiting for an invitation. His eyes immediately land on Callum, and his expression darkens. "

Chapter 40

Megra.I try to get up, but I am still a bit drowsy. Nathaniel helps me from the bathroom floor, his grip firm but gentle, and I can't help but giggle as I stumble and land in his arms. The feel of his warmth against me is both comforting and familiar. We both laugh, the sound echoing off the bathroom tiles, a brief moment of lightness in the midst of so much uncertainty."This reminds me of the first time we met; at least you are sober this time," he says, his voice tinged with nostalgia."Don’t even remind me. Those were simpler times, Nathaniel." I reply, a wistful smile tugging at my lips. I pull away from him, my footsteps slightly unsteady as I make my way towards the kitchen. "You can't drive back to San Francisco now; it's too late. I refuse to be the reason you get into an accident."Nathaniel smiles with a soft, grateful, and victorious look in his eyes. "Thank you," he says simply, and there's something in his tone that makes me feel like he's not just thanking me for offer
