This Guy Is Somewhat Sweet

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

Oh shit! It's already midnight. And still, I am not able to sleep. Ouch! I just fall from my bed. What's happening with me, tonight. Why can't I sleep? How will I?

It's barely a few more hours to pass and I will be reaching my New College. I know not a single one there. How will I overcome the living situation here?

Ok, I need to be relaxed by getting some fresh air. Who's standing there? Is he Daniel? Yes, He is Daniel. He was my best friend.

But a few weeks ago in the farewell party, where all were disguised in masks. Kaile was also wearing the same gown as mines.

And Daniel kissed her, but it wasn't his mistake. He was too drunk, but Kaile should have stopped him, but she didn't. I think she liked him, but all the other students including my friends thought it was me.

I had always told them that Daniel is just a friend of mine who has nothing with my love life. At that moment, I don't know what happened, I learned about that the incident afterward from my Mom.

Oh no! My alarm is ringing. But where is it?

It's there but first I need to switch on the lights. Now it's already five what else can I do? I had to quickly check my bag.

And then I need a cold shower as my body stinks. But I was not able to ignore Daniel's face. Why was he so upset? Why? I want to know the reason behind his sadness.

And, this question is eating my head up. I quickly changed my attire. Was he upset about me going to the hostel? Oops! by mistake, I stepped on something.

What is that? Oh! it's my diary. I have just forgotten about my dairy. Let me put it in my backpack.

Suddenly, Mom shouted, "Where are you, Cristill?"

Oh! Mom, wait a minute I am ready. I am just coming. I ran downstairs but none of my friends came to say the last goodbye including Daniel. But why?

I haven't done anything unfair so why it's arising to me?

Mom said, "Breakfast is prepared, honey, be quick to finish it."

Ok mom, should I leave a letter to Daniel? But If he doesn't want it? No, I shouldn't leave a letter as he didn't come here to say goodbye.

Mom should, "Kiddo! fast, I am waiting in the car."

Wait for a little just let me tell goodbye to my room, bed, and all stuff. I have to leave my phone also.

Mom replied, "No you can take it."

I asked, "But are phones allowed?"

Mom replied, "Yes, but you cannot use it during the day but it's allowed from 9 to 10, as many students come from very far.

So let's go now!"

I feel a little awkward. As I don't know if something bad is waiting for me there or not? Mom and I were talking about the hostel and we reached there.

So this is my new hostel. It seems to nice.

I kinda like it! I can see someone from here.
