Five Months Left To Live

“You have stage five gastric cancer, Mrs. Hale. You have five months left to live.”The doctor’s words replayed endlessly in Thalina Hale’s mind as she sat frozen in the driver’s seat of her car, the medical report trembling in her hands.For weeks, she had been nauseous and weak. She had smiled through it, convincing herself it was pregnancy. She had rushed to the hospital with fragile hope blooming in her chest.But instead of news of new life…She had been handed a death sentence.Her vision blurred as tears finally slipped down her cheeks. The sob she had been holding back broke free, her shoulders shaking in the silence of the car.Why her?What had she done to deserve this?With trembling fingers, she reached for her phone. There was only one person she wanted to hear right now. The one person who should have been beside her.Evander Hale.Her husband.She pressed his name and lifted the phone to her ear, forcing herself to breathe steadily. She had to tell him. He deserved to k

You're Nothing But A Substitute

The words stunned Thalina into silence.She blinked once. Then twice. As if doing so might erase what she had just heard.But the crushing weight in her chest confirmed it.He had just told her to get rid of their child if she were pregnant.Her fingers tightened around the fabric of her dress beneath the table as she forced herself to breathe.“You'd… want me to get rid of our child?” she asked quietly.Evander didn’t flinch.If anything, he leaned back in his chair, calm and composed, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt. The movement was slow. Controlled. Veins traced faintly beneath his skin.“You’re supposed to be on birth control, Thalina.”His hands paused and his gray eyes lifted to hers.“Did you forget?” His tone remained even, almost conversational. But beneath it lurked something colder.Thalina felt her throat tighten.Tears burned behind her eyes, but she forced herself to look away before they could fall.Five years.Five years of being forced to stay on birth control.F

Waking Up To The Harsh Reality

Thalina's body tensed the moment Evander’s lips touched hers.In the five years of their marriage, he had never once kissed her like this. Even when he fulfilled his duties as a husband, he'd refrained from kissing her.But now...Here it was, the sudden press of the lips she had secretly craved for years. It sent her heart into a frantic rhythm and for a fleeting second, she felt herself falter.A part of her wanted to melt into the bed, let his lips carry on hungrily devouring hers.Then reality struck.This wasn’t tenderness or the fairy tale kiss she'd dreamt of during her teenage years.It was the influence of alcohol.Snapping out of her daze, she ripped one of her arms free and pushed against him, turning her face away as she managed to break the kiss.“Evander,” she breathed, shaken. “Stop. You’re drunk.”His fingers tightened around her chin instantly, forcing her to face him again.Even in the dim light, his usually sharp blue-gray eyes were unfocused—but intense.“And how i

Dying Hope

The other end of the line fell silent for a solid second. Thalina could practically hear the surprise in Ronan’s voice when he spoke again.“Really?”Of course he’d be surprised. She had turned down countless opportunities, even given up her dream of becoming a head bio-pharmacist just to work as a simple assistant, all so she could stay close to Evander. But now, she knew better. With her life ticking down and Elowin back in the picture, there was no point deluding herself any longer.Drawing in a quiet breath, she steadied her voice. “Yes, I’m sure. Please find me the best divorce lawyer. I want this done as soon as possible.”“Anything for you, Lina. Leave it to me. I’ll send the files over as soon as possible.”“Thank you, Ronan.”Thalina ended the call after that and leaned against the railing, lowering her head. As she did, her gaze fell on the golden band resting on her finger, and a faint ache stirred in her chest.When she had first received the ring, despite the indifferenc

Return Of The First Love

When Thalina arrived at the office, work was already in full swing. Forcing a smile at her passing coworkers, she made her way to her cubicle outside Evander’s office and unlocked her laptop. Navigating to her email, she found the copy of the divorce documents Ronan had sent. She stared at it for a second, her chest tightening, before pressing print.The printer beside her immediately whirred to life, spitting out the papers one after another. Thalina watched quietly as the pages slid out, a faint light dimming in her eyes.Her focus shifted when her phone buzzed.A message from Ronan.[Let’s go out tonight and celebrate your freedom. Celebrations on me.]A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and without hesitation, she replied.[Sure.]As she watched the message send and Ronan respond with a dancing GIF, she couldn’t help but realize just how much she had bent herself for Evander. In the past, she would have turned down an invitation like this without a second thought, ch

I Want A Divorce

Picking herself off the ground, Thalina had just stepped out of the stall when the door opened and Elowin walked in as if she owned the place, a soft smile resting on her lips.Thalina felt her mood darken instantly at the sight of her, but Elowin seemed to feel the exact opposite. She even lifted her hand and gave a small wave.“Hi, bestie,” she greeted casually, as if she hadn’t just framed her minutes ago and turned her husband against her.Thalina clenched her teeth but said nothing. She walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and began washing her hands, deliberately ignoring her presence.But Elowin didn’t leave.She strolled over and leaned against the sink, watching Thalina like she was some kind of curiosity under a microscope.“You look like shit,” she said, her voice stripped of that sweet, innocent tone.Then she clicked her tongue lightly. “Seems married life didn’t treat you well. Or is it that Evan was too busy loving me—even when I wasn’t around—to spare a pitiful thing

A Divorce? You're Not Getting It

“I want a divorce.”The moment those words left Thalina’s lips, the air in the room seemed to still.For a second, neither of them spoke.But she expected that.That brief pause before Evander dismissed her like he always did, like she was nothing more than dirt beneath his feet. Only this time, she expected him to pick up that expensive pen of his and sign his name without hesitation.That was the moment she had been waiting for.So why… was it taking so long?Evander’s expression remained unreadable as his eyes swept over the divorce papers again. His fingers twitched slightly at the edge, creasing the document before he suddenly tossed it aside as if it held no value.“I’m too busy for your games, Thalina,” he said flatly, brushing it off like it was nothing. “Leave.”Without a second glance, he returned to his work.Thalina stood there, momentarily frozen, her gaze shifting from him to the discarded papers, then back to him again.Of course.Of course he would dismiss her this eas

Returning Home

The Vale Manor stood tall against the evening sky, its many lights cutting through the darkness with ease.Thalina stepped out of the cab, paid the driver, and turned to face the house she had grown up in.Her fingers instinctively tightened around her bag as a familiar unease crept into her chest.Growing up, she had always feared her father. For reasons she never fully understood why her father had never liked her. She'd done everything to stay out of his way. Yet… here she was, back again.Cold sweat gathered along her spine, and for a brief moment, just like when she had stood outside the Hale Estate, she considered ignoring his summons.But she knew better.Swallowing the tightness in her throat, she forced her feet to move and stepped inside.The moment she crossed the threshold, a glass cup came flying at her.She barely managed to dodge in time, but shards shattered against the wall and a fragment sliced across her cheek. A thin line of blood bloomed instantly.“Thalina Val

We Found The Young Mistress

Although on the verge of passing out, the unfamiliar name echoed in Thalina’s head.Young Mistress Von?Who was he talking about? Her?The guards, just as confused, glanced down at her. “Huh?” they muttered in unison.But before they could react further, the man rushed forward and shoved them aside. “Get away!” he barked, his tone sharp with authority.He immediately crouched in front of her, gripping her shoulders carefully this time. “Young Mistress Von,” he said, scanning her condition with visible concern. “Are you alright?”Thalina’s head spun.Maybe it was the beating, but everything felt slow, distant, unreal.Her? Young Mistress Von?She parted her lips to speak, but no words came out.“The young master is going to be livid,” the man muttered under his breath, anger lacing his tone as he shot the guards a glare. “Just you lot wait.”Without wasting another second, he rushed back toward the line of cars.Thalina swayed where she stood, barely managing to stay conscious as her g

Living A Lie?

Thalina wasn’t sure how long she had been unconscious. The next time she stirred, it was to hushed whispers and muffled sobs drifting through the room.“Oh, my poor baby girl…” a woman’s voice broke softly.Thalina’s eyes fluttered open and pain hit her instantly.Her head throbbed, and her back felt like it had been run over by a truck. Fighting through it, she slowly took in her surroundings. She was in what looked like a VIP hospital suite, the air quiet and sterile.By the couch in the corner sat three people.A woman in her late forties had her face buried in the shoulder of a man a few years older than her, both of them visibly shaken. Standing close by was the same man she had seen earlier…“... Alistair Von.”The name slipped past her lips before she could stop it.In an instant, all heads turned toward her.The woman’s eyes widened, filling with overwhelming emotion.“Roxanne!” she cried, pulling away from the man and rushing toward the bed.Thalina’s first instinct was to sh
