High School Love On

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.

She was about to move into the house when her eye met this guy that is standing at the window side of his room staring at her. She was expecting the guy to look away or something but he just focus his gaze at her so she wave at him trying to be nice but he got no reaction from him.

"That weird or is that how they do things here?"She shrug picking up her bag and she walk inside.

"Why are you standing there?"Jenny asks as she walk pass her to get more of the luggage.

"Nothing just looking around"She lied, raising her head up to check if the guy she couldn't picture his face well is still there but he was gone.

"Where is he?"She look around but quit because she felt so stupid for waving at the first place.

"Comm'n let go in"Jenny tap her back and she follow her into the house bag.

"OMG"her jaws are on the floor when she saw how beautiful the house is from the inside.

She is a bit discourage about the environment but she definitely like it inside more than outside. "Mom where is our room?"Jenny asks.

"Upstairs the first and second is for you two"Gregory replied and she dashed up the staircase immediately.

Dad arched his brows at Alexandra but she shrug and chuckled before excusing them, she join Jenny who is seen bouncing on the bed and yelling happily.

"Stop it already"She said looking around the room.

"I am taking this so you better go check the other one"Jenny defend immediately.

"Like seriously?"She roll her eye as she drop her stuff on the empty table.

"I am serious"She defend as she climb down from the bed.

"No! this my room and I am taking it"Alexandra defended.

"What? I came here before you"She disagree.

"No way I am taking this and that final"Alex stated as she unpack her book and arrange it on the table.

"You are such a cheat"She stick out his tongue as she walk out of the room.

"I don't give a fuck"She yelled, moving close the window she threw it apart and the sunlight peeped into the room.

She smiled loving the view from her window side until her eye landed on the guy by the window side sitting there with his headphones on, this time he wasn't looking at her but instead his phone.
