Kalia. After dinner, I went out by the pool. It was a beautiful night, the full moon out along with a sky full of stars. It was so beautiful and calming out here tonight and generally in the country. I had always wanted to raise my family in the country, away from the buzz of the city.I dipped my bare feet into the cold water, getting a certain satisfaction. I was still reeling from dinner, from that made up story on how we met. I had watched Jake all night, he seemed happy, he was so committed to the fake story that I wondered if he really did remember how we met. He could be a good actor because even I bought it. Which is why it was going to be difficult to read him, to trust him. My phone buzzed, and I looked at the watch on my wrist, it was past eleven almost midnight. Who would be texting me at this hour? Maybe something was wrong with my dad, that was the only reason I could think of why someone would be texting me this late. I quickly got out of the water, rushing to t

KaliaFinding husband with ExMaybe I had over reacted, I thought to myself, I could only blame the hormones. It was supposed to be a simple apology, I was going to tell him I was wrong. I never imagined it would lead me to the painful realization I was about to face. As I adjusted the rearview mirror of the car, my hands trembling slightly on the steering wheel, I tried to steady my thoughts. Tonight wasn’t supposed to end like this. But the circumstances had spiraled out of my control, and now, here I was staring at the neon lights of the club , Jake, frequented, a big part of me wanted to turn back the car and go back home, but I needed to make things right. Earlier, when Jake had left the house, his words had stung. "You always blow things out of proportion. I’m going out. Don't wait up." He didn’t look at me when he said it, and there was no warmth in his voice. I watched him pull out of our driveway, Maya had tried to talk to him but he had left so pissed off. I still didn't un

Jake. I woke up completely covered in sweat. Another bad dream. This had been the fourth one this week, I had not been sleeping well at all. I sat up, looking at the clock on the table, it was still early, too early to be up anyway. I looked around the room, Naima was nowhere to be seen. Where could she have gone this early in the morning, in the few years we had dated I had never even known her to be a morning person, or maybe she had changed. I sat back down, my mind still blank and confused. I could not stop thinking about Kalia, she had really left. It had been almost a week now, since she left and Naima moved in. I had tried to reach out to her, but her old phone was disconnected. But I knew she was back in New York living in her father's house.Atleast that's what my sister had told me. I picked up my phone and started to go through the gallery, looking at some of the pictures we had taken together. "You did this you know, and I don't think that it's worth it." Maria sa

JakeI sat at the kitchen table, absently stirring my coffee as I flipped through the pages of some book I had found on the counter, but my mind wasn't on the pages. My thoughts wandered to Kalia, my wife , who was nowhere to be seen. Did Naima find her and do something horrible to her? I asked myself, my blood boiling with the thought of that. I will kill her, I will fucking kill her if she touched her a single strand of hair on Kalia's head. The baby was due in a few months, and the excitement of becoming a father had begun to overtake everything else even though I had to pretend like I didn't give a damn. I wanted to be better than my dad ever was, I wanted my child to feel loved and to have everything, but i was clearly failing before he even got here. Maybe my mother had been right. I fucked up big time. I should have come up with a better idea to get rid 9f Naima without getting rid of the woman who was carrying my baby. I fished out my phone and tried to call her number a

Nine months later.Jake. It had been over nine months since Kalia dissappeared with no trace at all. It was like she had never even existed. But I never gave up, I still had people out looking for her. I stood by my bedroom window, or atleast what used to be our bedroom window, overlooking out, looking at the sky. It was a beautiful morning, and I could not stop thinking about her today..She must have already had the baby by now. My baby. Now looking back, none of this things mattered anymore, I had fought for my company which was not hard given Kalia left me half the company she shares that she owned before she disappeared. I had everything I ever wanted except her, I was in love with her and she was all I could think about. Wondering if she was okay, if my child was okay. "Hey," my mom said rubbing my shoulders gently from behind me. I had been so absent minded that I never even heard her get into my room. She stood next to me and we stood there together in silence, we under
