The Wife No One Knows
From Lies To Love/Lummy's Pen
Chapter One: The Wife No One Knows I stepped into the sleek, modern lobby of Brennan Enterprises, my heart racing with excitement. Today was to be a surprise-something I hadn't done in a long time. I missed the early days of our marriage when we'd steal moments like this. Adrian had been swamped with work lately, his schedule packed with meetings and business deals. I figured it was time to remind him that I was still here, still his wife. The lobby was full of people, all either stuck to their phones or talking in muffled tones. Typical morning, but that didn't stop the butterflies in my stomach. I had a special gift for him-a limited edition watch he'd eyed for months, something I knew he'd appreciate. It wasn't much, but it felt right. I approached the front desk and smiled at the girl behind it, anxious to get into Adrian's office. "Good morning. I am here to see Mr. Adrian Brennan. I am his wife, Lily," I said, my voice light and cheerful. Her eyes slightly widened before sh

Chapter Two: The Truth Hurts I sat in a dimly lit living room with the weight of the world upon my chest. The walls seemed to be closing in on me. I was shaking to wipe the tears from my eyes, but they just kept on coming-on and on, each wave much deeper than the last. I did not expect it to hurt this much after all we went through and after everything I gave up. Adrian. This was not my husband, the man with whom I lived-the very image and substance of a man whom I thought I knew-but a betrayal. I'd gone to his office today to surprise him, reminding him that we were one, still a team even after all these years; instead, I found this man I loved wasn't the man I thought at all. The name-Sophia, Mrs. Brennan, the one who had been kept in the dark from me, the one nobody had ever spoken about, the pivot of everything that I ever thought I knew about my marriage-kept ringing in my ears. I had sacrificed everything for him. I had sold my father's land, the last piece of his legacy,

Chapter Three I sat at the kitchen table, my hands gripping the edge as I watched Adrian prepare for work. His movements were brisk and deliberate, as though the cracks in our marriage didn’t exist, as if last night’s conversation had never happened. I had called his sister after our talk yesterday , hoping she would talk to him and remind him of the family we used to dream of building together. I could hardly look at him, but I knew I had to try. "Adrian," I started off lamely, my voice shaking despite my best effort to steady it. "Your sister called yesterday. She….she wants to see us. She said it's been too long since we visited. Adrian paused, his hand mid-air as he adjusted his tie. His expression darkened immediately, his eyes narrowing as they flicked toward me. “What did you tell her?” The accusatory tone in his voice was like a slap to the face. I blinked, trying to push down the surge of hurt that rose in my chest. “Nothing, Adrian. I didn’t tell her anything about… us

From Lies To Love/Lummy's Pen
Chapter Four The sun rises too fast, pulling me into a new day I don't want to deal with. My eyes had swelled up from the tears, my heart an empty cavity of pain Adrian had caused. Playing in my head, every second: the way he smiled at her, kissed her hand, and declared publicly his love for Sophia. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the divorce lawyer's number saved on my phone. My fingers were trembling as I pressed the call button. The assistant scheduled me for the afternoon; her polite tone was in such contrast to the turmoil consuming me. It was done. I was filing for divorce. It should have been a relieving thought, yet it only brought a deep, overwhelming sadness. I had fought so hard for this marriage, sacrificed so much of myself for a man who didn't look back while destroying me. Adrian wasn't worth my tears anymore, but I couldn't help them. I clutched the steering wheel, the sound of rain hitting the windshield echoing my chaotic thoughts. The city blurred aro

From Lies To Love/Lummy's Pen
Chapter Five: Aftermath and Betrayal I woke up with a start; the light cut through the dimness of the room, my head heavy, my body sore, and for a moment, I didn't understand where I was. The softness beneath me was unfamiliar, the scent of someone else in the air-everything about the room screamed of an unfamiliarity I didn't want to acknowledge. And then it all came rushing back. The man. The stranger. The night. I sprang up into a sitting position, my heart racing in panic. My clothes were in disarray, my body sore in places I did not recall. How did I let this happen? I had come here to escape, to figure my life out, but it felt like I had only dug myself deeper. I looked at him, sleeping next to me. Lying on his side, he was turned away from me; his back rising and falling in a soft, steady rhythm. This man who had been broken just the night before-shaking with his body, almost having desperation emanate from his pores-was still calm, still quiet. Totally unaware of my storm

From Lies To Love/Lummy's Pen
Chapter Five: The Unwanted EncounterI took a deep breath as I sat in my car, staring at the lawyer's building ahead. Today was the day. I had made up my mind. Nothing, absolutely nothing, would stop me from walking into that office, signing those papers, and ending everything with Adrian. Not the pain, not the humiliation, not the past. I was done. I had to be.Adrian had pushed me too far, and now it was my turn to push back. I didn't care how messy it was going to get, how much my heart would shatter in the process. I had made a promise to myself: I would be free.My palms dug deeper into the skin of the wheel as my eyes fixed on the road ahead. Familiar streets now seemed to mesh together as my mind started running riots of memories of Adrian's lies, his deception. I couldn't afford distraction with thoughts of him-not when I was so near the point of finally assuming my life.A weird, peculiar kind of determination was building up in my head, a fire I hadn't felt for a long time.
