A shattered world

Lucy’s POV“This can't be happening … this can't be happening. I must be having a nightmare.” I think to myself as I stare in horror at the sight before me, and tears of disbelief fill my eyes.That loud, twinkling, feminine laughter that I would recognize any day, any time, comes again, but for the first time in my life, it fills me with revulsion instead of joy.Different emotions, the most pressing of which are shock, disbelief, and confusion, all battle for their place on my face as I stare at my bestie, Amy, who is the person laughing.She has just entered the restaurant where I’d been waiting for over two hours for my husband, Austin, or soon-to-be-ex-husband, by the looks of things, to show up.Amy is arm in arm with Austin, and I just watched them kiss each other intimately on the lips, with tongue and all.You see, tonight is my first wedding anniversary. Austin and I made reservations at this restaurant to celebrate, but he stood me up without any explanation, and now, I can

The crash

Lucy’s POVSomehow, I manage to get back home from the restaurant in one piece, but I’m a slobbering mess and a total nervous wreck.It’s almost twelve in the morning, and usually, I’ll be fast asleep by this time of the night, but today, sleep eludes me because of my broken, heavy, and aching heart.Austin isn’t at home when I get back there, and he doesn’t come back for several hours.When he finally arrives, it’s almost three in the morning, and it becomes clear that I didn’t hallucinate the events of that evening.“Here, take this and sign it.” He tells me without preamble, handing me some official-looking documents.“What is that?”“It’s divorce papers. I told you that I wanted a divorce when we were at the restaurant, didn’t I?” He asks me, glaring at me. “You can't be serious. Are you truly divorcing me? I should be the one divorcing you after what happened today.” I tell him, hating how shaky my voice is. “But you won’t do it, will you? You and I both know what you are … whi

A kind stranger

Nathan’s POVThis night is fast turning out to be an interesting one, although I’m sure that the woman who is currently crying profusely and making a small scene in the restaurant doesn’t find it interesting in the least.It’s hard not to feel a little sorry for her, especially because her husband is obviously such an asshole.I eat my dinner slowly and continue to watch the drama unfold, and in the end, I’m shocked to see the woman’s husband leave with his mistress, instead of her.People are watching the woman, who has sunk into a chair and is crying, with judgemental eyes, and it’s clear that they have misjudged the situation.They clearly think that she’s the side piece, and the other woman who left with her husband is the wife, and with the way she acted so timidly, instead of putting her husband and his mistress in their place, it is no surprise that people think so.“Damn it. She’s completely different from what I expected. I didn’t expect her to be so weak.” I mutter to myself

All alone

Lucy’s POVMy marriage is over … there’s no doubt about that. I’ll be the world’s biggest fool to fight for a marriage with a man who is cheating on me with my so-called best friend.This isn't to talk of the fact that he continued to have sex with her without a care in the world, right after I called him in a panic to tell him that my car was about to crash.He doesn’t give a flying fuck what happens to me and the sooner I accept that, the better.Once the guy who helped me at the accident scene, Nathan, drops me off at the villa, I go straight to get the divorce papers from the drawer in which I kept them, and I sign them.The fact that Austin had the divorce papers readily available shows that he had been planning this for a while, while I was blissfully unaware.Unaccustomed hatred for him grips me, but I can't dwell on any of this right now. I have to pack my things so I can get the hell out of this depressing place, as well as think of what to do after this, and so that is exact

A damsel in distress

Nathan’s POVI’m rounding off my work for the day when the call that changes everything comes in on my phone. It is my assistant who is calling.“Hello, Helen,” I say into the phone.“Boss, boss! I’ve got some really big news.” Helen exclaims into the phone. I can hear the excitement in her voice, and it rubs off on me instantly, but I try my best to keep calm.“Of course, what’s the news?” I ask.“She’s the one, boss. The lady is the one we’ve been looking for. The sample you sent matches the DNA we’re working with perfectly. Boss, this is huge! Our search is finally over.” Helen exclaims excitedly.“This is such wonderful news, Helen. You’ve just made my evening, and in fact, my entire month as well! Alright, I want you to find out where she is right now, and send me her location.” “Sure, boss. I’ll get on it immediately.” She replies, and then we end the call. I make quick work of rounding off my work in the office, and by the time I’m done, Helen has sent Lucy’s location. I wor

A stalker?

Lucy’s POV I'm fairly certain that I may have gotten myself into some deep shit. First of all, I wake up in a strange room with no idea of how I got there. As though that isn’t enough, this man, with whom I find myself locked in the room, isn’t letting me leave.My heart is pounding heavily in my chest. On the one hand, Nathan doesn’t look like someone who is out to hurt me, but then, looks are deceptive, and one can never tell.Who on earth is this man, and what does he want with me? I already thanked him for his help, so what more does he want from me? The way he keeps staring at me ... like he knows something I don’t, leaves me feeling greatly unsettled, and then there are the ominous-sounding words that he just uttered.“You can’t leave. I’ve been looking for you for so long …”“Okay, well, I don’t know what that means, but I hope you know that holding me here against my will is kidnapping, which is a crime,” I tell him, feigning indifference.However, my eyes are darting arou

An unreal discovery

Austin’s POVI find the fact that Lucy is nervous because I told her she can't leave yet a bit amusing, and if I’m being honest, a little bit offensive.While I’m no saint, I’d like to think that I don’t in any way look like a kidnapper, serial killer, or hitman as she accused me of being either. However, I also have to admit that she’s right to be cautious.I wouldn’t have told her about her family just yet, but since she was becoming increasingly agitated, and the doctor emphasized that she needed rest, not more stress, I had to tell her to reassure her that I don’t have any evil plans for her.Watching her face light up with different emotions, ranging from disbelief to hope, and then pure joy, is very satisfying and rewarding for me after all the work I’ve done to find her.But then she utters some words that cause me to do a double-take.“Are you my brother? I have a brother?!"The question catches me off guard. How on earth can she think that I’m her brother? That’s preposterous

A long-awaited reunion

Lucy’s POVI'm a nervous wreck, but for a good reason this time around. It’s been two days since Nathan divulged the fact that I have blood-related family members to me, and today, I’m finally going to meet with them.There are several unanswered questions flying around inside my head … questions which Nathan is unable, or perhaps unwilling, to answer for me. He keeps telling me that I’m going to get the answers to all my questions once I meet with my family, so I have no choice but to wait and see.From the little I can decipher from what Nathan has told me about them, and even from the way Nathan looks and acts, I can tell that my family is wealthy, and this makes me even more nervous.What on earth are they going to think of me? I have next to nothing in my name, even though Austin is well-to-do.I was his secretary before we got married, after all, and secretaries don’t make a lot of money. Whatever I have to my name is definitely going to be a grain of sand in the ocean, compare

Catching up on lost time

Lucy’s POVMy birth mother and I hug each other for what feels like an eternity, as we shed tears of joy. I don’t ever want to let go of her, and from how tightly she’s holding me, I can tell that the feeling is mutual.Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder, and so I pull away from my mother, at the same time that she pulls away from me. The hand belongs to my father, who is trying to comfort us both.He smiles warmly at me, and I return the smile and happily accept the hug he gives me. “I thought that it is a good idea to step in because left to your mother, she’ll stay here hugging you for a week at the very least.” He jokes, and my mother laughs.I’m glad he called her my mother, because I’ve been wondering if they’d want me to refer to them that way, and this answers my question. He is a very handsome man, and I have his eyes.“Oh, stop it, honey.” My mother says, giggling a little and swatting him playfully on the arm.My eyes well up with tears instantly again. It is very clea

A not-so-wanted phone call

Nathan’s POVIt’s been a long, fulfilling, and rewarding day. I'm dead tired, but also very happy. The ecstatic look on Mr. and Mrs. Lewis’s faces after I presented them with their long-lost daughter is the best thing that I have seen in a long while.I hum happily as I take a shower, and recline on my sofa to watch the news. Since I already ate a hearty dinner at the Lewis’s house, I'm not hungry.My phone rings while I'm watching the news, and I check the caller ID to see that it’s Diane who’s calling. She's the only one who calls me at this time of the night anyway.“Hello, Diane,” I say into the phone.“Hello, baby. How are you doing?” She asks me. Although I’m not comfortable with that term of endearment, I don’t say anything about it. I will find time to talk to her about how I see her as nothing more than a friend, and how she has to accept that, so she doesn’t get hurt in the long run. I can’t see her any other way, considering the fact that we grew up together, and while I'
