I Left When His Mistress Became His Bride Chapter 1

After my parents died in a fire, our neighbor, Kolson Kennedy, became my guardian. He cared for me for a decade. In a moment of weakness fueled by alcohol, I became his secret lover for five years. I thought we might finally become a real couple when I saw the diamond ring on his desk. But then, I overheard him confessing his love to Dayana Larson as he held her close, saying, "Leah's like a sister to me. You're the only one I want to marry." "If she's a problem, I can find a way to let her go." Heartbroken, I stood in the rain and tore apart the pregnancy test results I held, choosing to liberate myself and them.

The windshield wipers battled against the storm, barely revealing the blurred road ahead. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my wet clothes clinging to me uncomfortably. Today was the day I intended to tell Kolson I was pregnant. Previously, I would have handled it quietly, since after five years, he never intended to give me any official status. But this morning, spotting the diamond ring gave me hope. I believed he had finally seen reason, that we were finally going to move forward. But it was only my wishful thinking.

I managed a bitter smile as I touched my still-flat stomach. Five years spent living in denial, thinking that if I were attentive enough, understanding enough, he would eventually recognize my value and choose me. But I forgot that love isn't about effort alone. My phone lit up with a message from Kolson: "Stay in a hotel for the next few days; it's inconvenient at home." Following that, fifty thousand dollars appeared in my account.

I mocked myself. Inconvenient, how inconvenient? Was he worried his secret lover would interrupt his blissful moments with Dayana? Another message quickly followed, "I’ve tossed out your things; I’m redecorating soon." Such a brief statement felt like a dagger, piercing my heart with excruciating pain. I numbly replied with just one word, "Okay," as tears streamed down my face.

The rain poured harder, and my heart grew colder, plunging me into an abyss with no sign of light.
