All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S FAKE WIFE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

Hazel . . Love would be the death of me, that I knew—Today was our fourth anniversary, and I had set the dining table with Nathan's favourite dishes, the red candles flickering in the dim light. Despite promising not to miss it, it was already 11 pm, and my husband was still nowhere to be found. I perched on one of the seats. The tap of my fingers against the white marble table melded with the dial tone that echoed through the house that felt empty…it always felt empty. “Do you want to blow my phone up?” Nathan’s voice came from the other end of the phone—cold and distant, yet I felt relief that he had picked up. “Uhm… You might have forgotten, but today is our anniversary and…” “I know what today is, Hazel.” His cold voice froze me. If he knew, then why wasn’t he here? “I’m busy with work. Let’s celebrate another time.” Before I could respond, a woman’s voice came from his end. “Come and join me; I’m lonely.” A voice I have heard one too many times around him

It seemed he felt more comfortable with her cooking than mine. I couldn’t help but wonder if my cooking was that horrible. Shaking off the thoughts, I swung around. My bare back, now visible. Although I had lost weight, my curves were still there. “I think it’s beautiful,” I said, trying to ignore my pale skin that was becoming more pronounced or my eyes that had begun to sink.
