Reason for a divorce

Bethany povAfter dropping my son, Jason, off at preschool, I headed to the hospital to get my results. I hoped this test would change everything. Since having Jason, my husband, Fred, had drifted away. Now he was talking about divorce. He said he’d only stayed this long for Jason's sake. Maybe, just maybe, if I got pregnant again, he’d stay.The test paper crinkled in my hand as I unfolded it, my pulse hammering. My last hope to hold onto him—NEGATIVE. I felt a wave of cold settle over me. It was my last chance, and it was gone.Lost in my thoughts, I barely noticed Fred entering. He grabbed the paper from my hands, holding it just out of reach.“Looking for this?” he asked, voice cold and distant. “No—I'm not," I stammered, trying to grab it back, but he raised it higher. With a sneer, he tore it in half, letting the pieces flutter to the floor like ash.“You went for another test? I warned you, Bethany. It’s over. Stop trying to trap me.”"Why?" I whispered, voice trembling. "Wh

My life is a lie

Bethany pov *2 YEARS LATER* NEW RET CEMETERY I stood silently at my son’s gravestone, barely breathing, eyes closed, trying to conjure the strength to be here, to face what I lost. With a shuddering breath, I knelt, brushing the cold stone with trembling fingers. In my hand, a rose flower—Jason’s favorite. “Jason… Mama brought you a flower.” I whispered, placing it gently on the grave. “Promise me you’ll wait for me on the other side. Don’t go anywhere… Mama will meet you soon.” The weight of the words sank into me, pulling me down. Mama will meet you soon. If there was a way out of the endless ache, this would be it. My life, once bursting with love, was now as barren as this frozen earth. Jason was gone, and his father, that bastard, Fred had taken everything else I held dear. The success I’d found in business felt hollow, a counterfeit comfort. Without Jason, life had no color, no taste—just a ceaseless, cold ache. A tear slipped down my cheek, landing on the stone wit

Love rekindle

Bethany pov The sight of my son—my Jason—alive, with the same eyes I remembered from two years ago, left me reeling. My mind screamed it was impossible, that this was a trick or an illusion, but I knew what I had seen. I tried to step forward, to call his name again, but Fred was already ushering him away. “Jason!” My voice broke, barely rising above a whisper. The world around me felt like it was spinning, pulling me down into a dark void. I needed to touch him, to feel him, to hear him laugh just one more time. But Dean’s firm grip anchored me, keeping me upright even as my legs went weak. “Bethany,” he said in a steady voice, pulling me back toward my car, away from the cemetery. “No!” I snapped, yanking my arm from his grasp and turning back toward where Fred and Jason had disappeared. “That’s my son, Dean! He’s alive, he’s right there!” Dean tightened his hold on my shoulder, his expression a mix of concern and confusion. “Bethany, you need to calm down. We don’t

My savior

Bethany woke up to an empty, quiet room. Disoriented, she sat up, memories of last night flashing through her mind in a disjointed sequence: the anger, the confrontation, and the regret that had weighed her down ever since. She looked around, hoping to see some sign of Fred, but he was nowhere to be found. Instead, on the nightstand, a pristine envelope sat with her name written on the front.She opened it with a sinking feeling. Inside was a check for $10,000 and a short note from Fred: “For your trouble.”A wave of humiliation washed over her. Did he really think he could buy her off like this? She crumpled the cheque in her fist, the sting of his careless disregard churning her stomach. She felt used, a fleeting distraction in his life. After wearing her clothes, she stormed out of the room, gripping the crumpled cheque as if it could somehow restore her pride.As she made her way out, she was met by the piercing gaze of Chantel, who stood by the entrance, arms crossed, a smi

Our love will make the headlines

Bethany's eyes widened in horror as she gazed at Dean, the man clutching the pipe. "Oh my God! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed, her voice trembling. It was Dean, and she accused, "Dean, you killed him!" Bethany bent down to touch Fred's body, but he lay motionless. Impulsively, Dean dropped the pipe and grasped Bethany's arm, storming off without answering her frantic questions. They abandoned Fred, unconscious in the desolate, abandoned place. **** BETHANY'S HOME Upon arriving at her residence, Bethany stepped out of the car and slammed the door shut, the sound resonating through the air. Dean noticed her hostility, a palpable tension between them. "What's wrong, Bethany?" Dean inquired, rushing toward her. She recoiled from his grip. "What do you mean by that? Do i look wrong to you? ” " Well... I saved you from Fred. God knows how he got to you! " Dean replied, his brows furrowed. "Well, you don't know him! You hit him on the head. What if he's dea

An envelope for the lovers

***** THAT SAME DAYBethany seethed with rage in her home, her anger fueled by Fred's latest stunt. She glanced at her phone and saw the incriminating pictures he had leaked to the media. Why did this have to happen all of a sudden? Everything was going smoothly before they came back to haunt her. Fred must be stupid to involve the media and humiliate her like this. What does he want from her? And with this scandal, was Chantel ever going to return her son after seeing the compromising pictures of her and Fred?Her phone rang, shrill in the silence. It was her boss from the finance company where she worked as a manager. Apparently, it was against company policy to be embroiled in a personal scandal. For all she knew, she had a lot of explaining to do.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, jolting her out of her thoughts. She went to open the door, her frown turning into an angry stare. It was Dean at the door."What are you doing here?" she asked immediately, her voice laced with annoyanc

Over my shoulders

NEXT DAY – 7 PM Bethany adjusted her black, sleeveless gown and let her fingers graze the soft fabric. Her reflection in the mirror stared back, her hair cascading over her shoulders, framing her exquisite features. Tonight was the one-year anniversary of Avery and her husband’s marriage—a milestone Bethany had missed two years ago. She smiled faintly, though the ache of those years apart from Fred’s family lingered. Avery had been more than just a sister-in-law; she was her confidante, the one who sought her advice and found comfort in her presence. It was time to see her again—her “water sister,” as they’d called each other in jest. Satisfied with her appearance, she grabbed her purse, her heart pounding lightly, and headed to her car. HART'S MANSION The towering Hart mansion loomed in the distance as Bethany pulled into the driveway. Memories she’d tried to bury clawed their way back to the surface. This was the place where she’d been humiliated, broken, before fleeing to F

NASTY MEET

Bethany punched Fred’s back, pounding her fists as he carried her over his shoulder. "Put me down, you jerk!" she yelled, her voice cutting through the night. Fred ignored her protests, his stride purposeful. When they reached his car, he finally set her down, trapping her between his arms, her back pressed firmly against the cool metal of the car. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she shouted, her chest heaving with rage. "Let me go!" Fred leaned in closer, his grip unyielding, his eyes bloodshot with fury. "What the hell do you think you’re doing? Who invited you, huh?" His voice was a sharp growl, laced with the disgusting scent of alcohol. Bethany winced, her nose scrunching. "You’re drunk! Let me go!" Fred’s hand caught her chin, forcing her to look at him as his voice dropped to a menacing whisper. "Two years, Bethany. Two fucking years, and you're already smooching some guy." His nose brushed against hers, the intimate moment clashing with the venom in his tone.

Another lie

Bethany’s jaw tightened as she heard the familiar voice. It was KATE, FRED'S MOTHER. The woman who had been humiliating her in her own home for months, immediately after Fred was sent to a business meeting and placed her in the family house and treated her terribly. “Oh my God! What are you doing here?" Kate exclaimed, her tone dripping with mock surprise. She removed her glasses, biting her lip as if relishing the moment. "You never changed, sweetheart." Bethany’s stomach churned. the woman who had tormented her for months. while she was married to Fred. She had turned her home into a living hell constantly belittling her, pressuring her to get pregnant again, and planting doubts about Jason's paternity. Worse, Fred always took Kate's side, falling for her fake tears. Kate's smirk widened as she threw a bundle of cash to a group of boys loitering in the corner. "Boys! Thank you very much," she said dismissively, watching them scurry off like trained dogs. She turned back to Beth

Dean’s eyes widened as he stared at Bethany in shock. Yesterday, he had cracked a joke about them being a couple, even in front of Chantel. But this? This was taking things to a whole new level.Bethany stepped toward him, her movements graceful yet deliberate. She rested her head lightly on his shoulder, offering him a warm, almost teasing smile.“This is the man after my heart….Dean,” she said, her voice soft but steady.Avery, standing nearby, gawked at the two of them, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Wait... is this for real?” she asked, her voice laced with both surprise and amusement. “I can’t believe it—you actually found someone to love you, Bethany. And it’s Dean!” She laughed and stepped closer to them, clearly trying to process the scene before her.Bethany forced a smile. “Yes, Avery,” she replied with mock confidence. “It’s not so hard. I’m a single lady in the market, after all.”Beaming with excitement, Avery squealed and quickly pulled out her phone from the pocket of
