Chapter: 11 Bella My vision became blurry, and I have never felt this exhausted in all my life. The puking didn’t stop for about a minute. My body heaved violently, each wave leaving me weaker, more drained, like something deep inside was fighting to come out. I gripped the edge of the sink, knuckles turning white, tears streaming down my face. When it finally stopped, I breathed heavily, gasping for air, my chest rising and falling in ragged bursts. The taste in my mouth was bitter, and so was the ache in my heart. What’s going on? What’s wrong with me? The questions spun in my head like a storm. Was it the stress? The divorce papers? The lack of sleep? Or something else entirely? My legs felt like jelly, and I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. My phone rang and I could hear it, the familiar tone cutting through the silence. It must be a call from Aria. I can’t lose this job. Not after everything. But I’m so weak, I don’t even have the strength to stand properly, let a

Chapter: 10Bella Aria sent me the details of the dress, asking if I was comfortable in it. I stared at the pictures she attached—elegant fabric, flowing lines, but my mind kept circling back to the same thing. I’m comfortable in anything except exposed clothes. Anything that feels too revealing, too vulnerable, makes my skin crawl. I don’t know how to wear something like this at all. The style looked sophisticated, maybe a little daring in places, and I just sat there, phone in hand, heart heavy, wondering if I could pull it off or if I’d feel like an impostor the whole time. I kept scrolling through the images, trying to imagine myself in it, but my thoughts kept drifting elsewhere. The weight of everything else in my life pressed down harder. Before I knew it, my eyes grew heavy. I stared at the screen for what felt like hours, but it must have only been minutes. Exhaustion won and I drifted off to sleep right there on the couch, phone still clutched loosely in my hand and my brea

Chapter: 9 I deleted what I was typing and left the message without replying, my blood boiling. She could have him. But I wouldn't let her destroy what was left of my family. I called a friend from my university days, Lydia, who worked at a bank. After explaining everything through sobs, she promised to look into emergency loans. "Bella, you're strong. Don't give up. I'll see what I can do."Back inside, I sat by my mother's bedside once they allowed me a short visit. She looked so frail, tubes everywhere, but her eyes fluttered open when she heard my voice."Bella...my daughter," she whispered weakly."Don't cry. God will provide.""Mother, I'm sorry for not listening to you." I said with tears in my eyes.My mother warned me not to marry Luke seeing him with a best friend but I just never listened to her."I'm sorry for everything. I should have left Luke a long time ago."She shook her head."Mother he's cheating with his best friend, he never loved me," I cried."Let him go..." she whispe

Chapter: 8Memories flooded back as the hospital lights came into view. I remembered the day Luke proposed. It was at that fancy restaurant overlooking the city, with Serena sitting right there at the next table, pretending to be happy for us. She had always been around, like a shadow that never left. "She's just my best friend, Bella. Don't be insecure," Luke would say whenever I complained. And call me insecure. How could I not be when every late night at the office turned out to be time spent with her? When his phone was always silent around me but rang endlessly when she called?The car pulled up to St. Martin Hospital, and I didn't even wait for it to stop fully before opening the car door."Ma'am, please be careful." He said to me and Killed the engine. I stepped out without thinking. "Thank you, sir. God bless you," I muttered, thrusting some cash into his hand. He nodded sympathetically as I ran inside, my legs feeling like jelly.The hospital smelled of disinfectant and despair. Nu

Chapter: 7Bella's POV As I stepped out, a taxi was already waiting outside for me. I took a last glance at the mansion, tears gathered in my eyes, I once thought this would be my home, my last destination.Guess I was wrong, because this house was never my home, Luke was never mine, he always belonged to his best friend not me.Looking away, I let the tears drop from my eyes, the cabbie helping me with my belongings in the boot. I got inside the passenger seat, used my seat belt.The cabbie got inside the car and started the engine.I already sent the location to him, the house he's taking me to, was the one I rented with my savings.I want to live comfortably, take care of my sick mother and forget Luke ever existed, he never loved me, he was a liar, a selfish man if I must say.Getting to the house, an apartment, a big one with two rooms, a large sitting room enough to live with my mother.The cabbie helped me drag my suitcases inside. I let out a tired sigh, and didn't even know where to st

Chapter: 6Luke’s POV (A few days later) I pulled up to Serena’s mansion again after another long day, my mansion feeling more like a trap than a home these days. Bella’s texts and missed calls sat unread on my phone. Every time I thought about responding, that image from the bar flashes back and it hurts my chest physically. Serena greeted me at the door with a soft smile and a hug that didn’t demand anything. “Still no change?” she asked gently as we settled on the couch. “No,” I sighed, leaning my head back. “She keeps trying, but I can’t shake it." My chest tightened painfully. "A part of me wants to go back and fix things…but then I remember how easily she replaced me that night." Serena held my hand staring at me pitifully."You’ve been the only constant, Serena. I don’t know what I’d do without you right now.” She rested her head on my shoulder. “You know I'm always here for you. Cheer up, okay?” As we stayed like that, the weight of the last few days pressed down on me like
