Elysia's Pov I stood in the kitchen, stirring the pot of soup on the stove as Damon walked in. "Is dinner ready yet?" He asked, his voice laced with frustration. "It will be ready in a few more minutes," I replied, trying to keep my tone calm. Damon let out a sigh and walked over to the kitchen table, pulling out his phone and starting to scroll through it. I continued to cook, trying to ignore the tension in the air. I knew what was coming next. Just as I finished pouring the soup into bowls, Damon stood up and slammed his phone down on the table. "This is ridiculous," he shouted. "I can't believe you burned the roast again." I winced at his words, feeling the familiar sting of shame wash over me. "I'm sorry, I'll make sure to do better next time," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "You always say that," Damon spat out. "But you never follow through. I can't even count the number of times you've messed up dinner. You're just a useless housewife who can't even get the

Darryl's Pov It's been a month, but her laughter still chimed in my ears. I've never felt insulted so much that I lost the gut to speak. I had no choice but to tell the doctor, not to let her know about the mistake from the hospital. Every day I pray that she loses the child. I have no desire to be part of her life. ... The sound of someone ambling to my bedroom made my gaze drift towards the door. "Mr. Darryl." Mr. Jonas walked inside the room. "You couldn't wait till you get in?" "I'm sorry, sir. I just got a call from the hospital. Mrs. Elysia wants to be discharged." What was I supposed to do with this news? It wasn't as if I could make her stay in the hospital. "Let her be," I responded, rolling my eyes and jerking from the bed. "But sir, your child?" "I have no desire to be part of their lives. I need to avoid being part of any infamy, and this mistake seems to be one that will ruin my career. I'm not going to let that happen." I walked to the bathroom and let the water

As I sat in the court room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. I had made the decision to file for divorce from Damon, but he had refused to accept it. We had been in court for hours now, debating back and forth about the reasons for our marriage breakdown. "Elysia, you cannot deny that your affairs were a significant contributor to the deterioration of our marriage," Damon's lawyer stated, looking at me with a smug expression. I clenched my fists, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. It was true, I had cheated on Damon multiple times during the course of our marriage. But what he didn't understand was that I had lost my memories in a car accident, and I had no recollection of my past actions. "Your honor, my client is not denying the infidelity that took place during the marriage. However, she has no recollection of those events due to the car accident she was in," my lawyer explained. The judge nodded, considering my argument. "But Mr. Damon

The rumbling sound of the thunder finally stopped, but it was still raining heavily. I parked my car by the house, and grabbed my coat from the backseat. The sound of rain as it kept splashing hard on the windscreen made me almost give up on my surprise attempt, but it was Christmas Eve, and I wanted nothing more but to wake up next to Hector on Christmas morning. I took out one more minute to open the small box of ring I had bought as a present for Hector. Last Christmas, he gave me one just like this. I had his initials, and mine inscribed on it to make the perfect Christmas gift. Quickly, I opened the car and ran to the hallway but as fast as I was, my hair was wet. The shivering from the frigid wind and the rain percolated on me caused shivers to rush through my spine. I was shivering so much that even the coat I had on couldn't keep me warm. "When I get inside, I will just lay on Hector's under the duvet." I whimpered and then wrapped myself with my arm from shoulder to sh

As I woke up in the hotel room, the events of the night before came rushing back to me. I had spent the night with Hector, my new lover, and the thought of it made me feel guilty and ashamed. I knew that I shouldn't be with him, that I was still married to Damon and that what I was doing was wrong. But as Hector wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by his touch. I could feel his member hard against me, and as he gently slid inside of me, I couldn't help but moan with pleasure. Despite the guilt and confusion I was feeling, I couldn't deny the way Hector made me feel. Being with him was a way for me to escape the pain and trauma of my past, and for a little while, I could forget about everything else and just focus on the present. As Hector continued to thrust into me, I couldn't help but cry out with pleasure. The sound of our skin clashing together filled the room, and I was screaming so loud that I was sure the entire hotel could hear
