Her delicate skin was mostly hidden under a sheer blanket, with only her arms peeking out, bearing the faint red traces of a night filled with passion.<br /> <br /> Cynthia Jenkins stirred, letting out a soft moan as she woke from her deep sleep. She tried to get up, but her body, still weary and sore, sank back onto the bed.<br /> <br /> Memories from the night before came rushing back, bringing a faint smile to her face. For the first time in their three-year marriage, she and her husband, Nathan Richardson, had made love.<br /> <br /> She noticed Nathan wasn&#039;t in the room, and a tinge of disappointment flickered across her face, quickly replaced by composure.<br /> <br /> At the beginning of their marriage, Nathan had been distant, rarely showing any affection. Cynthia couldn&#039;t help but wonder if last night marked a turning point, a sign that he had finally accepted her.<br /> <br /> With a flicker of hope, Cynthia rose cheerfully from the bed. The moment her bare feet touched the cold floor, she felt a sudden chill.<br /> <br /> Picking up a blue sapphire cufflink, oddly shaped and shimmering, from the floor, Cynthia widened her eyes in surprise. &#039;Could this be Nathan&#039;s?&#039;<br /> <br /> Thinking of this, Cynthia smiled and placed the cufflink in her bag. Then, she went to freshen up herself before returning home.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had barely stepped out of the door when she ran into an unexpected visitor.<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia?&quot; The woman in front of her, dressed in a crisp white dress and possessing a sharp, piercing voice, was Kelly Dixon, the second lady of the Dixon family.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had always been at odds with the Dixon sisters. Jessica Dixon, the eldest lady of the family, was Nathan&#039;s first love. But today, Cynthia was in a good mood. &quot;Kelly, what a surprise to see you here.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Indeed.&quot; Kelly sized up Cynthia with a mocking smile. &quot;If I had arrived a bit earlier or later, I might have missed catching you in the act.&quot;<br /> <br /> She pointed at the red marks on Cynthia&#039;s arms with disdain. &quot;What is this? You shameless woman! How dare you fooling around with other men behind Nathan&#039;s back!&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia frowned, &quot;What are you talking about?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, I&#039;ve always known you&#039;re shameless, clinging to Nathan. But I never pegged you as someone who&#039;d stoop this low.&quot; Kelly&#039;s eyes sparkled with the thrill of uncovering a juicy piece of gossip. &quot;Are you really going to say these marks are from a night with Nathan?&quot;<br /> <br /> Before Cynthia could utter a word, Kelly cut her off. &quot;Please, cut the act. Nathan was at the hospital last night, staying by my sister&#039;s side. He was too busy to even catch a nap, much less waste time on someone like you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia&#039;s face changed dramatically. &quot;Nathan was at the hospital?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Where else would he be? You think he&#039;d come to see you?&quot; Kelly&#039;s voice was thick with sarcasm, as if she had just heard something ridiculous. &quot;You&#039;ve been caught sneaking around with someone else, and I&#039;m not letting this slide so easily!<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m going to show Nathan just how low you can go!&quot; Kelly declared, her resolve unwavering. &quot;I&#039;m calling him right now to come over!&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia couldn&#039;t absorb a word. Her mind went blank.<br /> <br /> If Nathan had spent the entire night in the hospital, then who was the man who had been so passionately entwined with her last night?<br /> <br /> A sudden realization made Cynthia&#039;s face darken.<br /> <br /> She had been set up!<br /> <br /> Yesterday was their three-year wedding anniversary, and Nathan surprisingly messaged her to meet at a hotel.<br /> <br /> Overjoyed and without a second thought, Cynthia rushed over. But when she arrived, Nathan texted to say he would be late and even ordered her some takeout.<br /> <br /> Cynthia, not sensing anything amiss and simply savoring the food, didn&#039;t expect to completely lose consciousness after finishing her meal. And that man last night...<br /> <br /> As Cynthia thought about everything that happened last night, her face turned deathly pale. &#039;How could this happen?&#039;<br /> <br /> &quot;Nathan already hates you for taking Jessica&#039;s place, and now, he&#039;ll never forgive you!&quot; Kelly said triumphantly after a quick phone call. She stood firmly in Cynthia&#039;s path, blocking her exit.<br /> <br /> Cynthia hadn&#039;t even considered leaving. She felt a chill run down her spine. Besides, there weren&#039;t many people who could send a message using Nathan&#039;s phone.<br /> <br /> Soon, Nathan hurried down the corridor. &quot;Kelly, did you need something from me?&quot;<br /> <br /> He glanced at Cynthia with impatience. &quot;What are you doing here? Jessica is still in the hospital. What are you up to now?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I...&quot; Cynthia opened her mouth, her mind in turmoil, unsure how to respond to him.<br /> <br /> &quot;Nathan, I called you here,&quot; Kelly interjected eagerly. &quot;I just so happened to see Cynthia sneaking out of a hotel room with some guy. It&#039;s serious, so I had to tell you.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s face darkened instantly. &quot;Cynthia, is it true?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Would you believe me if I say I was framed?&quot; Cynthia&#039;s eyes held a flicker of hope. &quot;It was you who...&quot;<br /> <br /> A smack came!<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s hand struck her face with a resounding slap, his expression cold and detached.<br /> <br /> &quot;Pathetic! Why would anyone frame you?&quot; Nathan&#039;s eyes blazed with anger at the sight of the red marks on Cynthia&#039;s arms.<br /> <br /> Even if he had no feelings for Cynthia, she was still his wife in name. This was nothing but a shame to him.<br /> <br /> Kelly watched with a smirk, stirring the pot. &quot;Exactly, you must be delusional to think someone&#039;s out to get you.<br /> <br /> &quot;Nathan, she&#039;s just lashing out because you&#039;re nice to Jessica. I caught her once, but who knows how many times she&#039;s cheated on you. Wake up, man.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What else do you have to say?&quot; Nathan&#039;s gaze was filled with disgust.<br /> <br /> &quot;What can I say?&quot; Cynthia touched her burning cheek, a cold despair settling in her heart. She looked at Nathan, fighting the urge to laugh bitterly. &quot;Nathan, don&#039;t you even want to ask why I ended up here?&quot;<br /> <br /> It was ridiculous that her husband seemed to be solely dedicated to helping others deceive her.<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s eyes were full of disgust. &quot;What exactly are you trying to say?&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia felt utterly disheartened. She held up her phone, emphasizing each word. &quot;Your phone sent me a message to come here. I trusted it and showed up. Did you text me, Nathan?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s gaze flickered. Last night, after getting treated, Jessica borrowed his phone...<br /> <br /> &quot;It seems you know now who it was.&quot; Cynthia noticed his evasive look and had her suspicions. She smiled through her tears, &quot;Nathan, I&#039;m your wife. I&#039;m the one being framed.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kelly quickly interjected, &quot;Nathan, don&#039;t fall for her act. She&#039;s just looking for an excuse...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This is between me and my husband. It&#039;s not your place to interfere,&quot; Cynthia retorted, showing her temper in front of Nathan for the first time.<br /> <br /> &quot;You...&quot; Kelly was furious and about to retort.<br /> <br /> However, Nathan had made up his mind at that moment. &quot;I sent the text. I got tied up, sure, but that&#039;s no excuse for you cheating!&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It seems this is your choice, then.&quot; Cynthia&#039;s heart turned cold. Despite knowing she was wronged, he still chose to defend that hypocritical woman. She couldn&#039;t believe this was the man she loved.<br /> <br /> Nathan didn&#039;t show any sign of guilt. &quot;Cynthia, it&#039;s you who fooled around with another man. Who else is there to blame?&quot;<br /> <br /> Even though he felt somewhat uncomfortable about what Jessica did, he still firmly sided with her.<br /> <br /> &quot;I was blind to have trusted the wrong person.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia closed her eyes, and when she opened them moments later, they were clear and resolved. &quot;Nathan, let&#039;s get a divorce.&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> &quot;Cynthia, what on earth are you thinking?&quot; Nathan frowned slightly while Kelly&#039;s eyes flickered with surprise.<br /> <br /> Cynthia gave a self-mocking smile. &quot;Nathan, I&#039;m not someone who clings to what I can&#039;t have. Remember, I&#039;m the one walking away from you, not the other way around.&quot;<br /> <br /> With those words, Cynthia felt a sudden clarity in her heart.<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, you&#039;re the one who messed up, but here you are, playing word games. Are you threatening Nathan?&quot; Kelly said, secretly pleased.<br /> <br /> Cynthia glanced coldly at her. &quot;Kelly, sometimes, you should just stay quiet.&quot;<br /> <br /> But Nathan&#039;s response caught Cynthia off guard. &quot;I don&#039;t agree to the divorce.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia let out a bitter laugh. &quot;Isn&#039;t this what you&#039;ve always wanted? Now that I&#039;m stepping aside, you can be with Jessica happily ever after. Why disagree?<br /> <br /> &quot;Or is there something more you&#039;re after, something you haven&#039;t gotten from me yet?&quot; Cynthia&#039;s tone shifted, causing a subtle change in the expressions of the two before her.<br /> <br /> She didn&#039;t think herself so self-absorbed to believe Nathan still had feelings for her. Their reactions pretty much confirmed her suspicions.<br /> <br /> &quot;I guess I was right.&quot; Cynthia curled up her lips. &quot;So, Nathan, what&#039;s it gonna take for you to sign those divorce papers?&quot;<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s eyes were deep and solemn. At this point, there was nothing left to hide. &quot;Jessica&#039;s really sick, Cynthia, and you&#039;re the only one who can donate a kidney to save her. That&#039;s my only condition. Help her, and you won&#039;t regret it, I promise.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia was thunderstruck, her voice hoarse with disbelief. &quot;You mean, this whole time...you were just after my kidney?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Jessica is the only one Nathan loves. Why else would he marry you if not to save her?&quot; Kelly sneered, and Nathan&#039;s look confirmed that she was right.<br /> <br /> Cynthia felt a chill in her heart. It all made sense now. Nathan had initially balked at his grandfather Mark Richardson&#039;s suggestion of marrying Cynthia. He had been adamant about marrying Jessica instead, only to abruptly change his mind when Cynthia was nearly ready to walk away.<br /> <br /> She had hoped that, over time, Nathan might come to love her. But she realized now that from the very start, he had been scheming for her kidney!<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia,&quot; Nathan said, softening his tone deliberately. &quot;Just help me out this one time, and I promise to keep today&#039;s drama under wraps. I&#039;ll make it worth your while, enough to start over somewhere far away.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;In your dreams, Nathan.&quot; Cynthia emphasized each word. &quot;Sure, I had feelings for you, but not enough to degrade myself like this.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Looks like you choose the hard way.&quot; Nathan, never one with a good temper, immediately hardened his stance. &quot;If you refuse to donate a kidney to Jessica, I will absolutely not agree to the divorce.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia laughed angrily and retorted, &quot;Fine by me. Do you have any idea how hard I worked to marry you? If you want to grow old with me, then so be it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia!&quot; Nathan&#039;s face soured. He was about to speak when Cynthia ruthlessly cut him off.<br /> <br /> &quot;I just give you one chance, Nathan. Be at the Courthouse entrance at 9 AM sharp tomorrow. If you don&#039;t show up...&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia smirked coldly. &quot;Then even better. Jessica can forget about marrying into the Richardson family. And I&#039;ll make sure to remind you that you&#039;ll be a cuckolds for the rest of your life!&quot;<br /> <br /> With that, Cynthia turned and left, not bothering to give Nathan or Kelly a second glance.<br /> <br /> &quot;Nathan, what if she refuses the surgery? What about Jessica?&quot; Kelly, watching Cynthia&#039;s retreating figure, feigned urgency.<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s gaze was deep. &quot;Don&#039;t worry. I&#039;ll find a way to make her agree.&quot;<br /> <br /> As Cynthia stepped out of the hotel, a sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly pulled up, blocking her path.<br /> <br /> The window rolled down, showing a woman in her forties, still exuding charm, a face often seen on financial news.<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;re right on time, Mom.&quot; Recognizing the woman, Cynthia wasn&#039;t surprised at all, her voice and posture shifting to something more dignified.<br /> <br /> &quot;Get in,&quot; Heather Brooks said calmly.<br /> <br /> With a deep breath, Cynthia got into the back seat. Throughout the ride, they hardly talked to each other.<br /> <br /> In Litharia, Jenkins Villa stood majestically in the most coveted scenic area, home to the affluent Jenkins family.<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;ve heard the story between you and Nathan. So, have you finally seen Nathan&#039;s true colors?&quot;<br /> <br /> In the living room of Jenkins Villa, Heather sipped her coffee, looking at Cynthia indifferently. &quot;It&#039;s time for you to come back and take over the family business.&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Heather had five children, and aside from her only daughter, Cynthia, the other four sons kept their identities hidden, excelling in their fields but refusing to take over the family business.<br /> <br /> Left with no other option, Heather pinned her hopes on Cynthia.<br /> <br /> Cynthia breathed deeply, only then realizing that she had been under her mother&#039;s watchful eye for these past three years.<br /> <br /> It wasn&#039;t surprising, though. Since her father&#039;s death, the Jenkins family had been fragmented. Heather wasn&#039;t truly a Jenkins. Although she had been holding the reins, she was surrounded by those eyeing her position. Eventually, Heather had grown accustomed to keeping everything under her control, leaving no stone unturned.<br /> <br /> &quot;It&#039;s not possible right now,&quot; Cynthia said somewhat helplessly.<br /> <br /> Heather&#039;s eyes narrowed as she spoke firmly. &quot;What, you still have feelings for him?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Of course not,&quot; Cynthia couldn&#039;t help but laugh dryly. &quot;Mom, I just need some time to divorce him. I promise, after the divorce, I will definitely return to the Jenkins family.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia mused, why did she ever waste three years pining for Nathan?<br /> <br /> Getting the response she wanted, Heather nodded in satisfaction. &quot;That&#039;s more like a Jenkins girl. Also...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What is it?&quot; Seeing Heather hesitating to speak, Cynthia was curious.<br /> <br /> Heather spoke steadily. &quot;The man you slept with at the hotel, do you recall who he is?&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia&#039;s expression froze, and she remained silent.<br /> <br /> &quot;I&#039;m thinking about finding this man. If he&#039;s decent enough, we could welcome him into the family. The Jenkins can certainly afford to support one more. This would also solidify your position in the family.&quot;<br /> <br /> What Heather left unsaid was that if the man was not up to her standard, the consequences were obvious.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was at a loss for words. She didn&#039;t even know how to argue with that.<br /> <br /> Back in her room, Cynthia lay on the bed, overwhelmed. What happened today was more thrilling than her life during the past three years combined.<br /> <br /> She absently played with the cufflink in her hand, a lone clue left by the mysterious man from the previous night.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, Cynthia realized something and sat up abruptly. The cufflink was a limited edition, and her brother, the third sir of the Jenkins, Eric Jenkins, also a leading designer, might know its origin.<br /> <br /> Without hesitation, Cynthia called Eric.<br /> <br /> &quot;Thia, you&#039;ve finally taken your eyes off that idiot, huh? What&#039;s up?&quot; Eric&#039;s voice was cheerful over the phone.<br /> <br /> Cynthia couldn&#039;t help but smile, &quot;Starting today, Nathan and I have nothing to do with each other. We&#039;re getting divorced tomorrow.&quot;<br /> <br /> At that moment, in the midst of a major international jewelry show, Eric sat up straight. &quot;What? What on earth happened to make the blind girl finally see the light?&quot;<br /> <br /> Cynthia laughed. &quot;Come on, stop kidding. Are you free right now? I could really use your help. Check your messages. I&#039;ve sent you a picture. Can you figure out where this thing&#039;s from?&quot;<br /> <br /> The next morning, outside the Courthouse, Nathan stood with a stern expression. He arrived on time and had been waiting for two hours without a glimpse of Cynthia.<br /> <br /> His calls went unanswered, and just as his patience was running thin, Cynthia finally arrived.<br /> <br /> She was dressed to the nines, radiant and elegant, a stark contrast to her former self. Nathan almost didn&#039;t recognize her at first sight.<br /> <br /> &quot;What now? Getting cold feet about the divorce?&quot; Seeing Cynthia slowly making her appearance, Nathan thought she regretted her decision not to divorce and had dressed up like this to win him back, feeling smug.<br /> <br /> &quot;Getting cold feet? Why do I have to?&quot; Cynthia touched her earring. She had intentionally made Nathan wait outside today.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was certain that Nathan wouldn&#039;t leave as long as his goal remained unmet, even if it meant waiting there all day.<br /> <br /> Nathan snorted, &quot;As long as you&#039;re willing to help Jessica, we can still be friends.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What are you thinking? We&#039;re getting divorced and you still think we can be friends?&quot; Cynthia scoffed dismissively. &quot;You know what, Nathan? I&#039;ve changed my mind. Why should I rely on a man who&#039;s after my organs? There are plenty of decent men out there, like that guy from the hotel. I&#039;m quite satisfied with him.&quot;<br /> <br /> Even if Nathan had once saved her life, the help she had given him secretly over the past three years was more than enough to settle any debt.<br /> <br /> &quot;Shameless!&quot; Nathan didn&#039;t expect Cynthia to change her attitude so quickly, grinding his teeth in anger.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was unapologetic. &quot;And what about you? Let&#039;s go. I can hardly wait.&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Half an hour later, the two emerged from the Courthouse. Cynthia held the divorce papers, knowing that from now on, her marriage to Nathan was officially over.<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, my offer is always on the table. When you&#039;re ready, you know where to find me,&quot; Nathan said, glancing at Cynthia, his words laced with implication.<br /> <br /> He had always thought that Cynthia came from a modest background. The financial security he could provide was something he thought Cynthia couldn&#039;t earn in a lifetime.<br /> <br /> Cynthia scoffed, &quot;Dream on, Nathan. That day will never come.&quot;<br /> <br /> Nathan was about to respond when his expression suddenly changed. He quickly descended the steps, leaving Cynthia behind.<br /> <br /> &quot;Jessica? What are you doing here?&quot;<br /> <br /> At the foot of the steps, a girl with an innocent appearance and long hair cascading over her shoulders rushed toward them. Her face was ghostly pale. It was Jessica, the one Nathan always held dear.<br /> <br /> In just a few short steps, Jessica was panting.<br /> <br /> Nathan, heart aching, wrapped his arms around Jessica, gently stroking her back to help her catch her breath.<br /> <br /> Cynthia had had enough of their closeness. She was ready to leave then and there.<br /> <br /> &quot;Wait up, Cynthia, please, just a sec,&quot; Jessica panted, rushing to intercept Cynthia.<br /> <br /> &quot;Do you need something?&quot; Cynthia asked indifferently, causing Nathan to frown.<br /> <br /> Jessica bit her lip. &quot;I... I&#039;m sorry about Nathan. He&#039;s always saying the opposite of what he feels. He really cares about you, you know. The last thing I want is for you guys to split.&quot;<br /> <br /> Seeing Jessica&#039;s meekness, Nathan felt a twinge of pain. &quot;Jessica, you don&#039;t have to apologize for me.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Nathan&#039;s right. Why do you think you can apologize on his behalf?&quot; Cynthia looked at Jessica, whose facade of innocence was grating on her.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s all my fault. He&#039;s been tough on you because he&#039;s worried about my condition. Can you just let it slide this time? I don&#039;t have much time left, and...I really hope there&#039;s someone by his side when I&#039;m gone.<br /> <br /> Cynthia smiled, &quot;It seems you&#039;re quite aware of your own health condition. You two are really close, right? Then how could you bear to push him towards me?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, don&#039;t push your luck,&quot; Nathan said, his face clouding over.<br /> <br /> Jessica bit her lip. &quot;Nathan and I are just friends. I genuinely wish you two to patch things up.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;But the divorce is already final,&quot; Cynthia said deliberately.<br /> <br /> Jessica quickly suggested. &quot;But if there&#039;s a chance, why not consider remarriage?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You&#039;re really looking out for us, huh? Do you even believe what you&#039;re saying?&quot; Cynthia scoffed. She was done playing along and decided to confront the truth head-on. &quot;You don&#039;t want us back together, Jessica. You&#039;re worried that if we divorce, Nathan won&#039;t be able to control me to get you a kidney transplant in time before finding a new donor. Sorry, but I&#039;m not budging. I won&#039;t let you get your way.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It&#039;s not like that, Cynthia. You&#039;ve got it all wrong. I would never...&quot; She shook her head vigorously, looking utterly wronged.<br /> <br /> Cynthia smirked. &quot;You may not do it yourself, but you&#039;re great at hinting. I believe someone would do it for you.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, this was all my idea. What does it have to do with Jessica? Back off,&quot; Nathan said, his expression darkening as he quickly jumped to Jessica&#039;s defense.<br /> <br /> Cynthia sneered, &quot;Funny, I didn&#039;t even mention a name. But since you care so much for each other, why not make it official? The city hall is just around the corner. Why wait? Go get married today.<br /> <br /> &quot;At least you&#039;re his wife when you are gone, Jessica. Isn&#039;t that right?&quot;<br /> <br /> Jessica&#039;s eyes flickered with unreadable emotion, and she still played innocent. &quot;Cynthia, Nathan and I are really just good friends. I&#039;m getting worse. After years without a matching kidney donor, I&#039;ve given up hope.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;So, I&#039;m your only hope, huh? No wonder you&#039;re so desperate to having me stay,&quot; Cynthia said bluntly, cutting to the heart of the matter.<br /> <br /> Jessica, overwhelmed with frustration and unable to counter Cynthia&#039;s relentless words, suddenly collapsed.<br /> <br /> &quot;Jessica, Jessica!&quot; Nathan held her in his arms, calling her name repeatedly, but Jessica showed no response.<br /> <br /> &quot;How convenient to pass out at this moment.&quot; Cynthia noted with a smile.<br /> <br /> Nathan glared at Cynthia, scooping Jessica up in his arms, and warned sternly, &quot;If anything happens to Jessica, Cynthia, I&#039;ll never forgive you.&quot;<br /> <br /> ..............................................................................<br /> Having said that, Nathan hurriedly carried Jessica to the car and headed for the hospital.<br /> <br /> Cynthia, unfazed, turned and drove towards Richardson Villa to pack her things.<br /> <br /> She had lived in Richardson Villa for three years. Three years ago, she was overjoyed, thinking she had finally found the person from her childhood.<br /> <br /> It was she who had saved Nathan from danger, even daring to bet with Heather and hiding her identity to marry into the Richardson family. She tiptoed through life there, desperately trying to fit in.<br /> <br /> Yet, throughout all those three years, the Richardsons never accepted her as one of them, always leaving her feeling like an outsider no matter how hard she tried.<br /> <br /> Cynthia finally realized that Nathan had been insincere from the start. Reflecting on it now, she just couldn&#039;t believe how naive she had been, viewing everything through the rose-colored glasses of her childhood memories.<br /> <br /> Luckily, she had finally woken up. There was no going back to this family for her.<br /> <br /> As she entered the living room, Kelly stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at her with a smug expression.<br /> <br /> Cynthia was not surprised. A month ago, Nathan had brazenly brought the Dixon sisters back to live in Richardson Villa.<br /> <br /> Nathan&#039;s mother, Sharon Richardson, had been completely charmed by them, never showing Cynthia any kindness.<br /> <br /> Looking down on Cynthia, Kelly gloated. &quot;Cynthia, you&#039;re already divorced from Nathan. Why do you even show your face here?<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, I&#039;m talking to you! Do you think playing deaf and dumb will get you through? Shameless.&quot; Kelly stood in the middle of the staircase, arms crossed, saying sternly.<br /> <br /> Cynthia glanced at her indifferently. &quot;You know very well that who&#039;s the shameless one. Move aside.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What if I don&#039;t?&quot; Kelly smirked triumphantly. &quot;You are nothing but a discarded wife, and yet you dare to be arrogant in front of me. If you want me to step aside, beg for it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Kelly, I really admire your reckless courage,&quot; Cynthia said with a light laugh. &quot;I haven&#039;t even bothered with you yet, and here you are, stepping right into the crosshairs.&quot;<br /> <br /> Kelly didn&#039;t take Cynthia&#039;s words seriously, her eyes filled with scorn. &quot;You think you can intimidate me, Cynthia? Really, what do you think you&#039;re capable of?&quot;<br /> <br /> A sharp glint flashed in Cynthia&#039;s eyes as she spoke calmly. &quot;A minor actress shamelessly moves into a married man&#039;s house, and within a month, the young couple is divorced. I wonder, if this little scandal hits the headlines, how your fans will react. Will they stand by you, or will they turn their backs, dragging your name through the mud?&quot;<br /> <br /> Kelly, a mediocre graduate from a film academy with unremarkable looks and talent, had only managed to carve a niche for herself in showbiz with Nathan&#039;s financial support. She was, at best, a second-tier star, and her position in the entertainment world was what she valued most.<br /> <br /> Sure enough, Kelly&#039;s face changed drastically at these words. &quot;Cynthia, are you threatening me?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Right, I am threatening you,&quot; Cynthia admitted. &quot;Better watch your step with me. If not, I&#039;ll make sure this story goes public. You&#039;ve got plenty of enemies itching for a scoop like this. I wonder how many fans will stick by you after that.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;You wouldn&#039;t dare!&quot; Kelly&#039;s face betrayed a flash of panic.<br /> <br /> Cynthia scoffed, &quot;Try me. I&#039;ve got nothing to hide. You&#039;re the one who should be worried, not me. Don&#039;t believe me? Go ahead, push your luck!&quot;<br /> <br /> Perhaps it was her tolerance over these past three years that had given these people the audacity to challenge her.<br /> <br /> Having said that, Cynthia pushed past Kelly&#039;s shoulder, striding upstairs to her room, leaving Kelly standing there in fury.<br /> <br /> The master room was divided into two parts - a study and a bedroom. Nathan never spent the night in the bedroom, and the study was more like a shared area for the two.<br /> <br /> In less than half an hour, Cynthia had packed her things. After three years, all she had filled was one suitcase and a backpack. Looking at them, she almost wanted to laugh.<br /> <br /> Suddenly, she remembered a pen of hers in the study. As she went in to retrieve it, she noticed a document on the desk.<br /> <br /> Her eyes fell on the paper. It was a bidding proposal from Nathan&#039;s company for a project under the Jenkins Group.<br /> <br /> Cynthia almost laughed. In the past, if she had seen this document, she would have secretly helped, arranging for the Jenkins Group to internally fix the bid to help Nathan secure the project.<br /> <br /> But now, seeing the proposal, Cynthia smiled, promising herself to give Nathan a surprise.<br /> <br /> After packing her things, Cynthia, dragging her suitcase, was about to leave when suddenly someone appeared at the door.<br /> <br /> &quot;Don&#039;t worry, I&#039;m all packed and I won&#039;t be back,&quot; Cynthia said indifferently. To her, Nathan had become less significant than a stranger.<br /> <br /> Nathan snorted, &quot;That&#039;s it? That&#039;s all you have to say?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What more is there between us?&quot; Cynthia couldn&#039;t help but laugh. &quot;The fact that you&#039;re standing here means Jessica is still alive. Now, if you don&#039;t mind, step aside. I&#039;m hurried to move out.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Cynthia, I never realized how sharp-tongued you could be,&quot; Nathan said coldly, staring at the person before him. &quot;Before you leave, you must apologize to Kelly!&quot; LEARN_MORE https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/kh4cejimwjt2x 101489936134366 OasisStory https://facebook.com/100087803393468 29,408 2 449,405,724,247,737 2024-05-03 02:00 person_profile eligible 0 0 NONE 0 1 0 0 Learn more 0 OasisStory 120208841188670267 www.yumread.com NONE video https://www.yumread.com/share/middle/kh4cejimwjt2xx14x02sedkp?ad_id={{ad.id}}&sid=120208841178060267&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 2024-05-03 05:56 https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/440326572_1769205366897954_5803153548263475548_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60&_nc_cat=107&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=nzlX2ExUHOcQ7kNvgFcFO6h&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=00_AfBr_cpHxYNK-g6l3o9sYDG6NesgVBGJaUmu_jNMyI241w&oe=663B42B7 person_profile 0 OasisStory https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/441204423_1460994324516125_5918091961307557887_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=-SVZFaSryt4Q7kNvgFj9U4F&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&oh=00_AfD9-mf7bANq1GMeFaMX72ZDTdVczQs3IiMxsGLQZcYFuQ&oe=663B557A 0 3 OasisStory 0 0 2024-05-03 02:00 View Edit

Yes 2024-05-03 19:33 active 732 0 951468006359855 🔥🔥 Click to Read 👉🏻👉🏻 &#039;How are you doing, mum? Everything okay at home?&quot;<br /> &quot;Yes, sweetheart. But that&#039;s not why I&#039;m calling. Have you heard the news? &quot;<br /> &quot;What happened, mom?&quot;<br /> &quot;It&#039;s Mason... He&#039;s engaged! &quot; Her voice picked up a pitch. <br /> &quot;He proposed to that home wrecking witch!&quot; <br /> Six years was a lot to give to someone. He was my first, only and last guy I ever slept with. <br /> But he chose another woman, the coffee waitress at our favorite café downtown that we visited frequently.<br /> ————————<br /> <br /> Dimitri<br /> Present day, Wentworth Maximum Security Prison.<br /> I was in a lousy mood. The prison guard escorted me to my cell after work. I entered my cell with a scowl on my face. I seethed with irritation and didn&#039;t want to be bothered. Not that it was new.<br /> I took off my blue prison jacket, only wearing my white tank top beneath, and hung it on the chair. I sauntered to my bed, plopped down, and held my head between my hands. A dull ache started to form. Promising a good headache.<br /> &quot;Inmate 29901!&quot;<br /> I looked up and saw the prison guard in his dark blue uniform staring at me. It was strange to see one of them in front of my cell. They usually didn&#039;t come looking for me unless it&#039;s got something to do with the parole hearings or visitors that I almost never got coming.<br /> &quot;You got mail.&quot; The prison guard continued, reaching his hand out with a letter.<br /> Wait a minute, is that a pink envelope? I frowned at the prison guard, not getting up just yet. I rarely got messages and if I did, it&#039;s by email. Nobody sent letters. And from who!? Eventually the prison guard got tired from standing and threw the envelope at my feet. As he walked away, I reached for it.<br /> The front of the pink envelope was the address of Wentworth Prison and my name written neatly above. There was no mistaking, this letter was sent for me. I looked at it, confused for a second, and ripped the top open. Who would send me a letter? I thought curiously?<br /> The handwriting was the neatest I have ever seen from someone. My eyes scanned the letter as I read.<br /> Dear Mr. Hawke,<br /> How are you? My name is Lillie Clarke. I am 24 years of age and a violinist as well as a 4th grade English teacher. I received your details for Pen Pal Prisoners.<br /> I would like to help people and thought having contact with you might inspire some encouragement.<br /> I&#039;m not sure what you been and going through but know this can be a good outlet for people to talk about themselves or what they&#039;re doing. I can write to you once a week. Or more if you would like.<br /> Here&#039;s something about me. I love playing the violin and teaching my kids literature. Anything vintage and classic is what I love. I&#039;m not bad in the kitchen either and can bake a mean set of chocolate brownies. My roommate is my ginger cat called pebbles.<br /> I&#039;m excited to learn more about you. What is your daily life like? Does the prison have any books or movies to keep busy? How are you feeling today?<br /> Share as much or as little as you like. I really don&#039;t mind.<br /> I look forward to hearing from you.<br /> Regards,<br /> Lillie.<br /> I read the letter twice. It felt strange to receive it. I had no knowledge about pen pal prisoners. Never mind, registered for one. Then it hit me. I remembered a few years ago that random inmates were to be picked for the pen pal prisoners programme and inmates that wanted to volunteer. Since I didn&#039;t volunteer, I didn&#039;t think much about it. Until now, that is.<br /> Placing the letter back in the pink envelope, I didn&#039;t know what to make or feel about all of it. Was I supposed to write back, or completely ignore the letter and call it nonsense? I contemplated the latter. I threw the letter on my side desk and continue to lie on my bed.<br /> It pleased me this was a woman; I guess. Her letter sounded feminine, and the pink envelopes were a dead giveaway. I smirked. A tinge of eagerness crept through me.<br /> While I would&#039;ve chosen the latter option. I&#039;ll confess I&#039;ve been bored out of my skull here most of the time. And whether or not I wanted to admit it to myself, I felt lonely. I talked a little around here. Maybe it would be worth my while to respond. Who knows, maybe the letters can shake things up in my life? Hoping I&#039;ll be writing to a drop-dead woman, that is. I licked my lips and smiled salaciously.<br /> With time on my hands, I decide to get up and head to the library. That&#039;s where the stationery was collected.<br /> I walked in the small library to the counter desk where the stationery was held. It was half in construction, with part of the place cut off with yellow tape. Construction stopped due to lack of funds by the administration, or lack of sympathy for convicts.<br /> &quot;What you need?&quot; Jimmy asked.<br /> He was an elderly black man, an inmate like me, who worked at the library. And the only friendly one I knew. I liked the library; it was the only place to find solitude outside of the cells. Jimmy and I got to know each other well over the years. And the only guy I ever smiled with. His peppered beard and hair were distinguished. The lines of his face created from a lot of years of hardship. If you needed to know about anything. He was your guy. Thirty years served up in prison gives you a lot of experience.<br /> &quot;Pen, paper, and a couple of envelopes.&quot; I answered. Grateful the prison gave stationery free of charge.<br /> He raised an eyebrow. &quot;What&#039;s this for?&quot; he asked, smiling weakly but interested no less knowing this was uncommon. I winced. He looked weaker by the day. But shrugged it off.<br /> &quot;Some chick wrote to me. So, I thought I&#039;d be a polite gentleman and write her back.&quot; I said smoothly, catching his heavy gaze.<br /> He looked at me and chuckled. &quot;You a gentleman? HA! And what girls do you know that write letters? I thought the girls you hang out with barely read. I&#039;m shocked they can write.&quot;<br /> This was the only guy that can bring a smile to my face. A shiny penny in this dump.<br /> &quot;Well yeah. It&#039;s through this pen pal prisoners, I don&#039;t know the girl,&quot; trying to keep my tough guy exterior. I didn&#039;t want to show I was eager for this or anything.<br /> &quot;I didn&#039;t think you would register for something like that, you don&#039;t look – &quot;<br /> &quot;I&#039;m not the type.&quot; Completing his sentence. &quot;And besides, I never registered. admin did.&quot; I said, making him understand.<br /> &quot;Hmmm mmm.&quot; Jimmy said, raising an eyebrow, clearly not buying my story.<br /> I chuckled. &quot;Hey, I&#039;m bored anyway. Why not give it a try?&quot;<br /> &quot;Why not?&quot; he agreed, reaching for the requested stationery and handing it to me.<br /> &quot;Thanks Jimmy, who knows what mischief I might get into with a new pen pal.&quot; I said with a wink.<br /> Jimmy smiled and shook his head. &quot;Happy writing and write more than one sentence please, and remember, don&#039;t scare the poor girl off,&quot; he chuckled behind me. I waved him off and walked back to my cell.<br /> I placed the stationery on my desk and took a seat. I didn&#039;t know how to start this. Come to think of it, I had never written a letter before. This was totally out of my comfort zone, and I wasn&#039;t sure if I liked it. I bit my lip with my pen in my hand. I came out blank. What do I say to this chick?<br /> I decided to re-read the letter to look at the questions she asked. Hey maybe I can just answer her for now. I took a deep breath and started to write.<br /> This might be harder than I thought.<br /> <br /> Lillie<br /> The day was eventful, to say the least. Dealing with a 4th grader screaming at the top of their lungs can be quite a challenge. My daily English lessons were usually filled with comprehensions, reading and literature, that my kiddies clearly struggled to focus on. Sometimes I feel like I&#039;m in an episode of Love and Hip Hop. I literally spend half of the day trying to solve their mini me dramas.<br /> At times I scream in my head, LITERATURE! LET&#039;S DO THAT! I understand, literature is not the coolest subject under the planet and some might dare call it lame. But the whining of these kids. The constant variations of &quot;do we have to?!&quot; Can drive me up the wall.<br /> &quot;YES! You have to.&quot; I try to say in a calm manner.<br /> But what can I say, as long as I can get a few nouns and punctuation to stick to their memory. I&#039;m a happy Miss Clarke.<br /> I sighed, grateful it was home time and classes had ended. I stayed behind in my class and sat at my desk to prepare some assessments. It was a medium-sized spaced classroom with bright posters of Shakespeare&#039;s plays and parts of speech attached around on each wall. I preferred working here since it was my little sanctuary. My assessments weren&#039;t due until next week. But an early start was always a good start.<br /> I was proud of my work and so was the principal. Mrs Brown always made me the exemplary example of teacher professionalism.<br /> The letter I wrote to inmate 29901 crossed my thoughts from time to time. Like now. I should check the post today again, I thought. It&#039;s been four days since I wrote the letter to him and yet no response. I couldn&#039;t help but feel slightly bummed, although I don&#039;t even know the man.<br /> The thought of rejection stirred that self-doubt in me I tried to hide deep inside. It was a constant reminder of that heart-wrenching day with my ex. The cruel image burned into my memory 18 months ago.<br /> I walked in on my boyfriend, my high school sweetheart, the one I called the love of my life of six years, thrusting into another woman from behind in his kitchen.<br /> That fateful day, he didn&#039;t hear me entering his apartment; I guess they were too enraptured by their screwing around to notice. The first thing I heard were the disgusting moans rumbling from the kitchen. My heart dropped, freezing me on the spot. I hoped above hopes that it wasn&#039;t my Mason that I was hearing, it could be somebody else. As I padded slowly towards the kitchen, my eyes deceived me.<br /> I saw Mason with his pants down, dropped to his ankles, smacking his hips against the back of a red-haired woman bent over the kitchen table, squealing her heart out.<br /> Nausea gripped me as I clutched my stomach, holding down the fried chicken sandwich from lunch I ate earlier. It felt like a hammer punched me in my gut, smashing my heart into fragments from the inside.<br /> My wrecked mind recognized the woman immediately. She was the coffee waitress at our favorite café downtown that we visited frequently. Knowing it was her, crumbled my heart further.<br /> Both culprits finally noticed I stumbled upon them. Mason was wide-eyed in shock, stopping mid-thrust. The red-haired, named Melissa, stared at me too, her breasts displayed on the kitchen table. How could Mason, my Mason, have done this to me? I turned on my heels and ran out of the kitchen and through the front door of his apartment.<br /> The worst part of it was that Mason didn&#039;t even try to follow me. His action shattered me in more ways than one.<br /> I closed my eyes and shook the thought away. The memory made me queasy. I will not allow that loser to disturb my day.<br /> After completing my three assessments. I filed it. Placed it in my cabinet and walked out. I walked to the car waving my goodbyes to passing fellow teachers.<br /> When I got home. I parked my car on the side street. Carrying my basket, I sauntered to my door. As I placed the key to open, I forgot to check the post. Since the post boxes were just across the street, I jogged to it. I placed my basket down and grabbed the post box key from it. I ran across the street, opened my box and grabbed some mail, and returned home.<br /> Once in the kitchen, I went through the letters one by one. Car insurance. Forever 21 account bills, and a bunch of advert pamphlets. My eyes popped open as I finally came across a letter with interest. It was a white envelope addressed to me with my address. At the back of it was the address from Wentworth Prison.<br /> Oddly, I couldn&#039;t believe this inmate actually replied to me. Even though I was expecting this, I was surprised. I mean, I have never written randomly to a stranger before, and a criminal too! The thought suddenly became heavy.<br /> Nevertheless, I took my letter opener from the kitchen and neatly slid it open. I took out the letter and immediately noticed his fine handwriting. At least he&#039;s neat; the thought brought a smile to my face. Good start. Smiling like an idiot. I hesitated to read.<br /> Dear Miss Clarke,<br /> It confused me to get your letter.<br /> I honestly didn&#039;t volunteer to be on Pen Pal Prisoners. I&#039;m sure you know what age I am ect, since you said you seen my details. I really don&#039;t need much encouragement. I just get by day by day here till my times up. That&#039;s how I usually deal with things. However, there might be other suggestive ways you could encourage me, sweetheart.<br /> To answer your questions. Prison works on a tight schedule. And life here is on a clock. Wake up is at 6:30am. 7:15am breakfast is served. We eat all our lunches and suppers in our cells. Roll calls happen during the day. 9am I start work for about 6 hours steaming sheets. Lunch is at 1pm. Supper at 5pm and the rest of the day, I pretty much have to myself. To keep busy, I usually exercise and walk in the yard.<br /> Yeah, there are books here in the library. A place I like to go to.<br /> Nobody asks how I feel. You don&#039;t have to bother about it. But thanks for asking anyway, sweetheart.<br /> Dimitri<br /> SWEETHEART!?<br /> OTHER SUGGESTIVE WAYS I COULD ENCOURAGE HIM!?<br /> How rude.<br /> I stood staring at the letter with narrowed eyes. I mean, I&#039;ve taken out time to write to this man. For crying out loud, I&#039;ve been nothing but nice. And here he responds with a letter like this. I frowned.<br /> But my frown turned into anger. If he doesn&#039;t want positive and friendly encouragement during his time. So be it. I&#039;m helpless to do anything about it. What&#039;s the point of all of this? Screw him, with a capital &quot;S&quot;.<br /> And as for calling me sweetheart. &quot;Aaaargh!&quot; I huffed out, the nerve of that man. Clearly, inmate 29901 is a big fat jerk. It was infuriating. I needed a cup of hot green tea to soothe my nerves.<br /> <br /> Dimitri<br /> Out in the courtyard, I drew a deep breath as I did my fifty counts of pushups.<br /> &quot;48... 49... 50.&quot; I heaved out. My muscles burned from the sit-ups and weights done before.<br /> Peter, another inmate, sat next to me doing his reps. He was talkative and annoying. I had to hear a bunch of nonsense about him grieving the fact that his wife hadn&#039;t written to him in weeks. I pretended to empathize by shaking my head.<br /> After my gym session, I was pleased to walk away. I walked to the bleachers on the side of the prison and sat on the second top bench. You had the complete view of the prison yard.<br /> I watched the other inmates in the yard. Some were walking or jogging around. Most were in their groups, sitting around make shift tables or huddled together on the ground gambling. Others stood with their backs against the prison walls, watching arguments about to start. Anything could spark a fight in this place. A few inmates walked aimlessly around.<br /> There&#039;s a lot to think about in prison. You got a lot of time on your hands. Scenes of your life plays in your head, like a movie.<br /> I thought about my girl, Roxanne. I thought about her raven black long hair, her hips, her curves, her dark eyes and her full hip sitting in tight jeans. She always knew how to use her body. And it drove me crazy. It&#039;s been a inferno of a long time in prison.<br /> I decided to give her a call with my minutes saved up. It&#039;s been six months since I heard from her. I called over time, but there were no answers. I hoped this time would be different.<br /> I walked over to the pay telephone. Luckily, the inmate before me just ended his call. I picked up the dialer and dialed Roxy&#039;s number. Desperate to hear her voice, to speak to her, to hear if she was doing alright and if she thought about me. I waited online. It just rang. I waited a few more moments.<br /> Nothing.<br /> I hung up. Banging my head against the payphone.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> I sat in my cell reading a book when an inmate came strolling by. It was about that time for mail call.<br /> &quot;Inmate 29901,&quot; he came forward.<br /> &quot;Yeah.&quot; I said, getting up from my seat.<br /> &quot;You got mail,&quot; he continued, handing me a letter.<br /> I recognized it instantly. The light pink envelope was a dead giveaway. I took the letter. Is this going to be a thing now? I thought. I sat on my bed and ripped the envelope open. Took out the letter and read.<br /> Dear Mr. Hawke,<br /> Thank you for your letter. I was pleased that you replied. I&#039;m disappointed, however, that you do not want to receive any FRIENDLY encouragements from me. I fully understand. I don&#039;t know your circumstances and only wish to lend a friendly ear.<br /> I didn&#039;t know that you didn&#039;t sign up for the program, but who knows, maybe it&#039;s fate we supposed to be writing to each other. Please know that I would still like to know if you are doing okay. I&#039;m just a letter away if you need somebody to talk to.<br /> P.S. I don&#039;t approve of being called sweetheart, so please don&#039;t call me that. These letters are strictly platonic between you and I as you know, we should have mutual respect.<br /> Regards,<br /> Lillie<br /> A small grin crept up my face. I was slightly surprised by this chick&#039;s letter, but in a good way.<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t call you sweetheart, huh?&quot; I uttered. I somewhat liked it. She had some spunk to her, I&#039;ll give her that.<br /> I don&#039;t know what it was, but she got me intrigued.<br /> Thinking back to my first letter, I agreed with her, I could be a prick. She was just trying to be kind. But I didn&#039;t know what to do with it. <br /> She&#039;s probably a very compassionate girl. I pictured her in my head and put pen to paper and wrote her a reply as kindly as I could. I want to ask her for a picture. Hope it won&#039;t be reckless.<br /> <br /> Lillie<br /> I just finished up my lesson in ancient civilization. Surprisingly, my 4th graders found it interesting. Who knew that Julius Caesar will get them going. But classes were dragging, and the day was long. I was glad Kenny cancelled practice this week. I wasn&#039;t in the mood. Bell rang for home time, it couldn&#039;t come any sooner.<br /> I was exhausted, but nervous about tomorrow tonight. It was the big dinner with Arthur. Saturday came sooner than expected and I wasn&#039;t sure if I was fully ready for it.<br /> While driving in my car from school. I borrowed the black dress from Sassi for my dinner date tomorrow night. Sassi suggested I wear it since my clothes weren&#039;t dinner date charming, in Sassi&#039;s opinion. This was my first date post Mason, and I decided to be daring. I wanted to knock his socks off.<br /> I was grateful that Sassi wasn&#039;t home. My nerves were already on edge. She packed the dress carefully in a boutique bag, with a small note:<br /> Cinderella by day, SIN-derella by night!<br /> I suppressed a smile and rolled my eyes. I can&#039;t with Sassi, but I loved her nevertheless.<br /> After my quick stop. I checked my post box and collected a stack of letters inside. I returned home and was greeted with a meow at the door. My ginger cat purred, sliding against my legs. I gave a quick pat and walked to the living room, checking each letter.<br /> Nothing again from Dimitri. I felt a tinge of sadness.<br /> It&#039;s been over a week now since I heard from him. I couldn&#039;t help but wonder if he rejected my photo I&#039;d sent him with my last letter. Did he not like them? Did he not like me? I sighed as my mind clouded with possible reasons.<br /> I plopped on my green cushy couch and gathered myself towards myself. Maybe something kept him from writing, I debated. But my insecurities were rearing its ugly head once more. And rising slowly to the surface. This was not going to help one bit with my date with Arthur.<br /> &quot;You send a guy your pic and then he ghosts you after,&quot; I said out loud to my cat. Pebbles clearly didn&#039;t have a care in the world.<br /> My phone rang, and I jilted in surprise. I checked my caller ID. It was my mum. I really need to beat her to the punch when it came to calling.<br /> &quot;Hi mum,&quot; I said<br /> &quot;Hi honey... Why are you so quiet?&quot; Sending me on the guilt trip once again.<br /> &quot;I&#039;m sorry... I meant to call but-&quot;<br /> &quot;but-but, always buts,&quot; she interrupted.<br /> &#039;How are you doing, mum? Everything okay at home?&quot; I continued.<br /> &quot;Yes, sweetheart. But that&#039;s not why I&#039;m calling. Have you heard the news? &quot; Her voice sounded strained.<br /> &quot;What news? What happened, mom?&quot; I said, frowning. My mum&#039;s health wasn&#039;t the greatest.<br /> &quot;It&#039;s Mason... He&#039;s engaged! &quot; Her voice picked up a pitch. I didn&#039;t expect to hear his name again. Least of all by my mother, of all people. Everything sort of froze. And my stomach dropped at the news.<br /> &quot;He proposed to that home wrecking witch,&quot; she continued.<br /> I fell silent. My mum didn&#039;t seem to notice.<br /> &quot;Apparently, this happened last weekend. Aunt Matilda told me over brunch this morning... The audacity. I can&#039;t believe him. I was so hoping you two could have worked it out by now.&quot; My mum sounded almost weepy.<br /> Silence.<br /> &quot;Honey?... Lillie?&quot;<br /> &quot;Huh?... sorry mum, something came up. I&#039;ve got to go.&quot; And with that I ended the call.<br /> I know that was rude. But I couldn&#039;t face my mum to answer right now. My mind was still processing what I heard. Mason&#039;s engaged. And to Melissa. I couldn&#039;t help it. But just then, all the bad memories came flooding back.<br /> The cheating.<br /> The pain.<br /> And in this moment, I was sad. I was angry.<br /> My eyes stung, and I blinked hard. I hated myself for it. I had moved on from him, or I hoped I did. It was only eighteen months ago. But after your heart&#039;s been shattered like that. It can heal. But it can grow back jagged and skew. I never fully looked at love the same way again. To be honest, this news was hurting me.<br /> I couldn&#039;t help what I did next.<br /> I grabbed my phone. Typed his name on Instagram and saw his freshly posted pics. I shouldn&#039;t have done it and regretted the decision almost immediately. But I couldn&#039;t take my eyes off it.<br /> There was Mason, looking as handsome as I remembered. With his brown messy hair and brown eyes, holding Melissa, looking Instagram ready as usual with her red hair, smiling. The pair looking all lovey dovey. He held out her left hand high in his.<br /> And there it was... a shiny engagement ring. I closed my eyes shut. And threw my phone to the side of the couch. I loved Mason. I knew it was pathetic that he cheated on me with Melissa. Six years was a lot to give to someone, and within a year and a half, he wants to spend his life with someone else. He was my first, only and last guy I ever slept with. I&#039;ve never been with anybody else.<br /> And he chose another woman.<br /> I felt pathetic.<br /> I fell further into the couch, trying to fight the lump that formed in my throat. Dimitri wasn&#039;t writing back either. Why was this happening all at once?
