What the Game Revealed Chapter 10
Josephine checked into my hotel building. Her room was right next to mine.That night, she couldn't sleep. She paced back and forth outside my door for hours.Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and stepped outside.The moment she saw me, she dropped to her knees. Tears streamed down her face as she begged for forgiveness."Please. I'm begging you, just give me one more chance. Anything you want, I'll give it to you."Whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. I just want a chance to make things right. I don't want our eight years together to end like this."I laughed. Then I looked at her with the same indifference she had once shown me."Josephine, it's time for you to grow up. What? Are you saying your world can't exist without me?"Before she could answer, I spoke again, "But my world has to exist without you."She froze. All she could do was watch as I closed the door between us.The next morning, she planned to wait in the hotel lobby until I came downstairs.Instead, t

We stood outside the cafe for a long time, long enough for the sun to disappear below the horizon and for the streetlights to flicker on.Josephine finished her coffee but continued holding the empty cup, unsure where to put it.I pointed toward the trash can nearby.She walked over, threw it away, then came back, like a child who didn't know what she was supposed to do next."You should go home." My voice was quiet.She shook her head. The movement was small, but firm."Not yet."I didn't ask her to leave again. Instead, I took her to a restaurant I visited often. It was a small place that served local comfort food.The owner knew me well. When he saw me walk in with a woman, his eyes immediately lit up. "Gideon, is this your girlfriend?"I shook my head and explained that she was just a friend.Josephine sat across from me, watching me chat happily with the owner. I ordered without hesitation, and my eyes curved into crescents when I smiled. She hadn't seen those expressi

Brady was the one who asked for the divorce.Josephine didn't try to stop him. She simply went to the courthouse and signed the papers.As they parted ways, he spoke quietly, "If you ever find Gideon, tell him I'm sorry. No matter what happens, he'll always be my best friend."Josephine nodded and disappeared into the wind.She found me by accident.A coworker had casually posted a travel photo online. In the background, she recognized my silhouette instantly. So she booked the earliest flight to New Zealand and left that very night.By the time she landed in Auckland, it was already past midnight. She stood alone on the unfamiliar streets, clutching the screenshot she'd saved from that social media post, like it was the last thing keeping her afloat.In the photo, I stood beside a lake with my back to the camera.The wind lifted my hair. I was wearing a blue shirt she'd never seen before.Suddenly, she realized something.After leaving her, I'd started wearing new clothes an

Josephine started having trouble sleeping.Every night, she'd sit alone in the living room, staring at the lamp she'd left on.She tried turning it off once, but when the darkness closed in around her, the memories only became clearer.The image of me curled up in the corner, the cuts running down my arm, the way my face snapped to the side when she slapped me.She unlocked her phone and opened her photo gallery.There were pictures of Brady, Owen, and the three of them together as a family.But after scrolling through her entire phone, she found only three photos of me.One was a candid shot. I was standing in the kitchen making pasta, my hair a mess as I yawned.Another was from when we'd first started dating. I was smiling so hard my eyes had curved into crescents while she held my hand.The last one was from the worst period of my depression.Brady couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he had secretly taken the photo and sent it to her.In the picture, I looked frighteningl

"I'm sorry... Gideon, I'm so sorry..."Trembling, Brady pulled out his phone and dialed my number which was marked as his emergency contact.I always picked up on the first ring. This time, it didn't go through.Helpless, he collapsed onto the floor and called again and again."Please, I'm begging you. Please answer the phone. I was wrong. I was really wrong..."Brady could barely catch his breath.The bedroom door opened. Josephine stepped inside and immediately understood what had happened."Gideon isn't answering?"Brady nodded and grabbed her hand tightly."Tell me, after everything I said to him today, after what I did..."Do you think he's hurting right now? Do you think he'll do something stupid again?"Josephine, we never should have been together."The rest of the sentence dissolved into sobs.A chill ran through Josephine's entire body. Against her will, images of my breakdown flooded back into her mind.She remembered the shattered apartment. She recalled me st

Neither Brady nor Josephine spoke during the drive home.Owen sat by the window, his eyes still red."Mom, I won't let anyone bully you. If anyone tries to hurt you, I'll do what I did today and chase the bad guys away."Something in his words immediately caught Josephine's attention. Her grip on the steering wheel tightened."Today? Owen, did you hit Uncle Gideon today?"He nodded proudly, like a hero who had just defeated a monster. "Not only did I hit him, I threw a cup at him and bit his hand too!"The car screeched to a stop. Brady lurched forward and smacked his head against the seat in front of him."Josephine, what are you doing?"Owen, who taught you this? Who taught you that it's okay to hit people?"The sudden outburst stunned both Owen and Josephine.Owen's shoulders trembled. Tears immediately spilled down his cheeks."I... I just didn't want Mom to cry anymore. I didn't want you and Mom fighting every day."Brady finally snapped back to himself and pulled Owen
