All Chapters of All Out of Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Lucille, why are you crying? Baby Selwyn's fine," Colin said as he came into my hospital room, holding a thermos. "He just needs a few more days in the nursery. Don't worry about it!"He saw my tears and rushed over, fumbling to wipe them off.I pulled away from him, my stomach turning. I turned to the side and gagged, using the moment to break free from his arms. His touch made me feel sick.Colin pulled back his arms, looking uncomfortable. Then, he picked up the thermos."Drink some water, Lucille. I got these pills from the nurse. Take them and get some sleep. You'll feel better after a rest."I stared at the pills in his hand, his words to the doctor still ringing in my ears. Just when I thought my heart was completely numb, a fresh wave of pain hit me."What are these?" I asked, staring him down.Colin avoided my gaze, looking uneasy."It's just some cold medicine. You fell in the pool and were really shaken up. You should take something so you don't get sick," he explai

Sandy's social media account was packed with posts about her pregnancy. I scrolled through every single one and discovered that the guy keeping her company while she was on bed rest was none other than my husband, Colin.For the eight months after I found out I was pregnant, Colin was always away on business trips. He was hardly ever home.I didn't want to interfere with his work, so I dealt with all the pregnancy challenges on my own. I even went alone for my prenatal appointments.I never imagined those "business trips" were just a cover for him to be with Sandy while she was pregnant.Sandy's long social media updates documented everything from her pregnancy to the birth of her child. Colin even started trying to cook healthy meals, and she posted about it."Darling's first time cooking. I'm so touched! But it ended up getting burnt, so I couldn't bring myself to try it. He ate it all, then spent half the day running to the bathroom."At that time, I was stuck with morning sic

Colin called later in the evening."I just dropped Sandy off at the hospital, Lucille. She's fine—just a little shaken up. The doctor didn't prescribe anything, so it won't mess with her ability to nurse Oliver."He paused for a moment before continuing, "I'm sorry for snapping earlier. I shouldn't have said that. But you were acting way too impulsively. You'd feel awful if you actually hurt someone, especially with how kind you are."Also, since you're on meds and can't breastfeed, we're still depending on Sandy. I'm looking out for her because I appreciate everything she's done. Don't read too much into it."I was packing my things up in the room. I felt numb."I'm fine. Just make sure you take care of her and don't let Oliver go hungry," I replied flatly."I know you're the best, babe! I even stood up to Mom for you. She won't give you any more trouble. You gave the Selwyns a son—Oliver. You're a hero in this family. No one can top that! The day after tomorrow, I'm throwing a

Sandy's face drained of color. But when she saw the divorce papers, a fleeting look of relief flashed across her expression."Lucille's completely out of line! How could she treat you like this? She's even asking for a divorce?"She tried to hide behind Colin, but he shoved her aside without a second thought. Just as he was about to head out of the banquet hall, Grace stepped in front of him."Colin, you're still chasing after that worthless woman after everything? Good riddance. I never liked her as my daughter-in-law. She's broke and has no class. I always worried she'd be a bad influence on my grandchildren."She scanned the room, then said calmly, "Everyone, this is just a misunderstanding. The video and audio were tampered with. Colin and Lucille have been divorced for some time, but she won't let go and pulled this stunt to set him up."Oliver is Sandy's son, and Sandy is part of the Selwyn family. She just couldn't have a wedding while pregnant. We hope you'll all join us i

Colin kneeled as he carefully picked up the torn pieces of our wedding photos. He held them close and broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.Before long, Joel came back with an update."Mr. Selwyn, all we know so far is that Mrs. Selwyn boarded a flight to a city in Fremmora. We don't have all the details yet. Looks like she hid her information on purpose. She made sure not to use her ID."We're still digging into it. As for the divorce and everything that happened at Selwyn Manor that day, I've already sent everything I found to you via email."Colin went through the email in silence.Just then, the doorbell rang. It was Sandy. As soon as she walked in, she wrapped her arms around Colin's waist, her voice trembling with sobs."I've missed you and Oliver so much, Colin. Please, let me see him. I know Lucille suddenly filing for divorce must've hurt your pride, and you need time to process it. But I can wait. I really love you. What does Lucille have that I don't?"I'm a woman—I kno
