The announcement.

LEAH“I'm sorry to inform you, but…” the doctor's words trailed off as he spoke. I didn't need to listen to the rest of his words to know what he would say. I had heard this all too often. Five years of trying, and giving my best, just to get the same news repeatedly.I tried pulling myself out of my thoughts and tried focusing on him.“As I said earlier, your uterus is not fit for childbirth,” he explained, and I could swear I heard my heart crack.I wiped my eyes with the back of my palm. My lips quivered but I couldn't find the words to speak.My husband, Lucas, wrapped his arms around me. “I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry this is happening to you. Please don't cry, please stop crying.” He muttered the words into my ear.For some reason beyond explanation, his words only fueled the tears. The dam broke even further and my vision blurred as the tears poured fiercely.Last time, I had promised myself that I wouldn't cry if I lost another baby, but here I was bawling like a baby.“How can

promises

LEAH.My fears were indeed confirmed. My parents were the victims of the car crash.For twenty six hours, I had been sitting in the hallways of the hospital. The one place I wanted to leave so badly had found a way to trap me in.I watched as nurses sprang into and out of the intensive care unit. I wanted to stop one, and ask about the wellbeing of my parents, but I held myself back. My last three trials had been futile.Lucas' hands were clasped, and his jaw was locked. He hadn't moved an inch in over an hour, but I could tell he was deep in thought.“Hey,” I called out to him. He turned to face me, and his reddened eyes were all I could see. In all the twenty six hours we'd been here, he hadn't slept. I couldn't either.“How are you?” He asked, pulling himself closer to me. His hands brushed through my hair.“I'm fine,” I sniffed.He searched my eyes, and I hid nothing. “You do know they will be fine, right? Your parents are the strongest couple I have ever seen. They'll survive.”

the will

LEAH.Three weeks had gone by since the passing of my parents, and we had finally arrived at their funeral.Lucas kissed my forehead, as he wrapped his arms around me.I touched his palm, trying to give a sense of peace.“I still don't know how I was able to plan this entire thing,” I admitted out loud, “at first, I thought I wouldn't be able to move, or even talk.”“You did this because you're tough, and strong. Your parents would be so proud of you.” Lucas added,I smiled gently at him, and he placed his lips on mine. “Thank you for everything,” I thanked him.He simply nodded, and murmured a reply.Throughout the preparations, he had been running around trying to ensure everything was perfect while I had given most of my focus to the grounds where my parents would be laid. I wanted them buried in my home, where I would always feel close to them. Lucas hadn't objected. In fact, he had even helped me get the men to dig the grounds.The bell rang, gaining our attention.“I think it'

His texts

LEAHTime had been moving fast. Two months had gone by since my parents died, and my father betrayed me. What else was I supposed to do? I accepted my fate.Kate had followed through on her words in helping with the surrogacy. I tried talking her out of it, but she was hell bent on doing it.I sighed, pulling out the page from my book. “Fuck,” I muttered, moulding the page into a bowl. I tossed into the trash can, and as expected, missed.I hissed, walking off my bed. I had unofficially given Lucas the permission to take over as CEO. If my father thought he was good enough to take everything while I was just some ornamental part of his life, I wouldn't go against his wishes.I looked outside the window, awaiting their arrival.For two months, I had pushed off my father's brothers and today, I had finally decided to host them. It was time to clear the air.As I looked out the window, I saw two cars pull up. Soon enough, three more followed. They were arriving in their numbers. Good

The closet

LEAHAt the revelation of his affair, I expected a little bit of remorse, or even surprise.He huffed his shoulders, placing his hands on his hips.“Did you really not know about this?” He asked,I was too stunned to speak.Seeing the reaction on my face, he chuckled, “you actually believed I loved you.”His chuckle turned into a full laughter.He wiped his eyes, grinning, “let's be serious, Leah. You actually believed I loved you?”I opened my mouth to speak, but I was at a loss for words. Wasn't that the point of a marriage?“Give me my phone,” he demanded.With no resistance, I handed it over. I was too stupefied to even think of words.How was I just finding out? How did I miss the signs?“How long has this been going on?” I asked,He was putting on a fresh pair of clothes. “It's best you don't know,”“I need to know.” I ground out, “how long has this been going on?”He grunted. “Fine. If you want to know, Kate and I have been in love for three years.”“Three years?!” I screamed.
