On their second anniversary, Sadie almost tells her husband Noah she’s pregnant until a phone call pulls him away. Minutes later, she sees news of him warmly greeting his ex at the airport. Heartbroken and unsure of her place in his life, Sadie must decide: will she fight for her marriage… or finally choose herself?
Without another word, Sadie turned and left the dining room, her steps quick and deliberate. She didn’t look back as she walked straight to her bedroom and locked the door behind her. Sadie walked to the window, staring out at the sprawling grounds of Myrtlewood Estate-Noah’s world. Kyla’s words replayed in her mind, taunting her.…
With a casual shrug, Jim remarked, “It hardly matters to me.” He then moved past Noah and made his way upstairs, leaving Noah brooding silently in the living room. Jim knocked softly on the bedroom door, the sound barely audible. “Come in.” Sadie’s response came from inside, her voice raspy and weak. As Jim eased…
“Understood. I’ll take care of it. Stay safe,” Alex replied, concern evident in his voice. “I will,” Sadie answered, hanging up the phone with a sense of reassurance. She now had a way out. The next day, Noah came back from work sooner than usual. A housemaid ascended the stairs to inform Sadie that she…
A flicker of resentment was evident in Kyla’s eyes. Inwardly, Sadie scoffed. Lights bathed both Sadie and Noah as guests gathered, praising their apparent harmony. “Mr. and Mrs. Wall, what a beautiful couple you make!” “Mrs. Wall, you look marvelous today. That dress is a perfect fit for your style.” “The love between Mr. and…
A sudden, sharp unease coiled in his chest. Without another thought, he jerked away from Kyla’s grasp and strode back toward the banquet hall, his steps quick and purposeful. “Noah! Noah!” Kyla’s voice rose, tinged with panic and desperation. But she was too weak to follow, her pleas fading into the background as Noah disappeared…
Meanwhile, at the city hospital, Kyla lay in a private ward, her face pale and delicate, the very picture of fragility. The soft click of the door opening stirred her, and she immediately lifted her head. When her eyes met Noah’s figure standing in the doorway, tears welled up in her gaze. “Noah, you’re finally…
Alex paused, the tension settling between them like a weight. After a beat, he nodded. “Very well, just get some sleep then.” Alex stood up, his footsteps light as he made his way to the door. He paused for a moment, his hand resting on the doorknob, as if on the verge of saying something.…
“Absolutely,” Kyla responded with a smile that seemed warm, handing him a glass of water. “Drink this. It’ll calm your nerves.” Without hesitation, Ryder accepted the glass and drank it down in one steady gulp. Unbeknownst to him, Kyla had slipped a deadly, untraceable poison into the water. The poison took effect swiftly. Ryder grasped…
A series of knocks interrupted her thoughts. “Come in,” Sadie said, turning to look at the entrance. Alex appeared, his arms laden with fruits and health supplements. “Sadie, how are you holding up? Feeling any better?” he inquired, his gaze laden with concern. “I’m feeling much better, Alex. Thanks for all your support these days.”…
At the mention of that name, Sadie shivered slightly, then crossed her lips. “I’m not the same Sadie from three years ago,” she declared, her voice sparking with resolve. “I have the means and the confidence now. I won’t let him control me anymore.” Alex felt a wave of relief seeing her determination. “What about…
