Chapter 21

Elizabeth“What are you up to, Christopher?” I ask, my voice steady, but my heart thunders beneath my chest.Christopher’s eyes narrow slightly as he steps closer, slow and deliberate, like a predator testing its prey. “Can’t I be worried about you, Lizzy?” he asks softly, his tone unsettlingly calm.Worried about me? A bitter laugh almost escapes me, but I swallow it back.Edward shifts in my arms, his little hands gripping my shoulders. I force myself to smile down at him, hiding the tension from his innocent eyes. “Go to your room, sweetheart,” I whisper gently, kissing the top of his head. “I’ll come find you soon, okay?”Edward hesitates, looking back at his father before nodding and running toward the hallway, his little footsteps echoing off the walls.Christopher doesn’t take his eyes off me. I don’t want Edward to see what might happen next. He’s already seen too much. I move quickly, brushing past Christopher before he can say anything else. The ache in my ribs flares up as

Chapter 22

SebastianThe door to my office swings open so forcefully that the hinges groan. I lift my head; it’s Celeste. She stands there, wild-eyed, her cheeks flushed with anger.“Why did you fire me?” she demands. Her voice is sharp and unwavering.I exhale slowly, keeping my calm as I lean back in my chair.“First of all, watch your tone, Celeste,” I say, my voice steady but cold.“And secondly, I don’t have to explain myself to you.” I pause for a beat, letting the words settle. “But if I must, it’s because you cannot be trusted.”Her lips part slightly, and I can see the confusion in her eyes as she processes my words.She takes a step forward, her heels clicking hard against the floor.“I can’t be trusted?” she spits out, her tone incredulous. “Why?”I rest my hands on the desk and look at her carefully.“Look at your conduct in this office,” I say evenly, my words laced with a quiet accusation. It’s enough to make her bristle.I know what I mean. Her affair with Christopher and what the

Chapter 23

ElizabethI lift myself up on the table in the small cabin. A nice gift from Sebastian, but I cannot enjoy it.My head feels heavy, and my chest aches in ways I can’t describe. I pull myself together slowly, my bare feet touching the cold wooden floor as I stand.My legs wobble from the intense fuck that I had begged for. I steady myself with a deep breath.I wanted Sebastian to make me feel something—anything other than this hollow, suffocating emptiness. I wanted him to bring me back to life.“Take me for a drink,” I say, turning around to face him. My voice is flat, almost cold.Sebastian sits up from the table, his brows furrowed in confusion.“What do you mean, Elizabeth?” he asks, his tone careful, almost hesitant.“Take me drinking,” I repeat, crossing my arms over my chest. “To a bar. Somewhere loud, somewhere I can forget myself.”He stares at me like I’ve grown a second head. “What if someone sees us?”“What if they do?” I ask back, my eyes boring into his. “I don’t care.”H

Chapter 24

SebastianShe’s been passed out for hours now. Her chest rises and falls in a slow, steady rhythm, her face turned to the side, strands of dark hair clinging to her flushed cheeks. I sit in the chair across from the bed, watching her.I should’ve left her there, at that godforsaken bar. I should’ve walked away and let her deal with the mess she created. But instead, I’d carried her out like some tragic hero.What the hell was she thinking?I stand, my body tense, and start pacing the length of the room. My fists clench and unclench at my sides, and my jaw aches from how hard I’m grinding my teeth.“What the fuck, Elizabeth?” I mutter to myself, running a hand through my hair. “What the fuck is going on with you?”She stirs, her brows furrowing slightly before her eyes flutter open. For a second, she looks dazed, her gaze darting around the room as if trying to piece together where she is.Then she stretches her arms and yawns, and I know what’s coming next. Her face pales, her hand fl

Chapter 25

SebastianI stand in the massive bathroom, steam curling up around me as I adjust the temperature of the water. The tub sits like a throne in the centre of the room, claw-footed and deep, the kind of bath that demands you stay in it for hours.This bathroom is a sanctuary, a place for comfort and escape—two things Elizabeth desperately needs right now.I glance back toward the door, my mind racing.She’s in pain; I know that much. Last night wasn’t just about the alcohol or the chaos—it was about her running from something, drowning in something. And now, here she is in my home, far from hers, far from the office.What if someone notices? What if Christopher starts asking questions? What if someone pieces it together—her absence, mine?I shake the thought away. I can’t leave her. Not like this. She needs me, and as much as I hate to admit it, I need to be here for her.I head back to the bedroom. She’s sitting up now, the tray I left earlier completely empty. The sight pleases me more

Chapter 26

ElizabethThe bed feels too soft beneath me, almost as though it’s swallowing me whole. My body aches—not in the way it used to after nights with Christopher—but from something raw, passionate, and entirely unrestrained.My muscles remember Sebastian’s touch even if my mind doesn’t want to dwell on it. It’s done now. I have become comfortable being a cheat.I’ve showered; I tried to scrub his scent off my skin and bury the guilt deep down.I stare at the ceiling, the faint hum of the heater filling the silence.Edward. My son. His chubby hands clutching my dress. His adorable face on mine. My chest tightens. What if Christopher never lets me see him again? What if he uses last night as the excuse he needs to cut me out of Edward’s life forever? No, I will not let him.A lump forms in my throat, but I swallow it down. There’s nothing I can do right now—not yet. Not with Christopher pulling every string, holding my trust fund hostage, and controlling the air I breathe.The door creaks o

Chapter 27

Sebastian"No, sebastine." Elizabeth snaps, her voice slicing through the air like a blade.The word isn’t loud, but it’s firm—unshakable. Her eyes burn with an anger that shakes me to my core, but beneath it, I see something worse: confusion. Betrayal. Pain. I stand there frozen, fists clenched at my sides, my stomach twisting into knots. The tension in the room is unbearable. It feels like the air has been sucked out, leaving only a heavy, suffocating weight behind.I want to speak, to make her stay, to say the right thing—but how? Elizabeth is already moving, her hands trembling as she begins searching for her clothes. Her movements are frantic, almost wild, like she’s trying to claw her way out of this nightmare. “Elizabeth,” I manage to say, my voice low and steady, though every nerve in my body screams at me to yell, to beg her not to leave.“You can never go back to Christopher. I mean it.” She freezes, her back to me, her hand hovering over her discarded dress.Slowly, she

Chapter 28

ElizabethThe moment we step into the living room, I feel my breath catch in my throat. My heart drops, thudding painfully in my chest as my eyes land on the massive portrait hanging above the fireplace mantle.The woman’s piercing blue eyes seem to follow me as I take hesitant steps forward, her golden blonde hair falling in perfect waves around her delicate face. Her expression is soft but haunting, her beauty almost unreal. I can’t look away.It can’t be, I think to myself, my pulse quickening. My hands feel clammy, my head light. I know that face. I know her.“Sarah,” I whisper under my breath, the name feeling foreign yet familiar as it passes my lips.This is Sebastian’s wife?My head feels like it’s going to explode. Sarah. My Sarah. She’s dead?The room tilts slightly as the realisation crashes into me like a wave.I glance at Sebastian out of the corner of my eye, trying to gauge if he can see the recognition written all over my face. His sharp gaze is locked on me, and I kno

Chapter 29

ElizabethBy the time I get home, I’m fuming. My head feels like it’s about to burst from the storm of emotions raging inside me. Sebastian’s words play over and over in my mind, each one louder than the last."Christopher left her to die.""Your miscarriages weren’t accidents.""Christopher is a monster."I can’t make sense of any of it. There’s too much happening all at once.First, I lost Edward, the only person who made me feel truly alive after everything.Then Sam—the doctor I only trust—tells me that my miscarriages weren’t accidents, and now Sebastian is accusing Christopher of being responsible for the death of his wife, Sarah.Could I truly be this blind? I ask myself, shaking my head as I pull into the driveway. Can my judgement really be this broken?I walk into the house without caring whether Christopher is home or not. I’m past worrying. My anger is too consuming, my need for answers too desperate.As I step into the living room, I see Agnes sitting on the couch, foldin

Chapter 30

ElizabethThe steering wheel feels cold against my palms, even though the heater in the car is blasting.My fingers grip it tightly as I drive, the city blurring past me. My chest feels heavy, and my thoughts swirl like a storm. Too many questions haunt me, gnawing at the edges of my sanity.I take a sharp breath and force my focus back onto the road.My hands tremble slightly, but I press on. The car radio hums softly in the background, but I’m not listening. My mind keeps returning to Dr. Maggie Walker—my OBGYN through everything. She’d know. She had to know.Christopher's office offered no answers.The sight of the familiar plaza brings a strange mix of comfort and unease.I park in my usual spot, second from the end, where the shadow of the large oak tree shades the car. As I step out, the crisp air hits my face, and I tug my coat tighter around me. My boots click against the pavement as I make my way to the entrance.The plaza hasn’t changed much. The coffee shop on the corner st
