Chapter 66
I wish there was something more to hold on to, something that hinted that all of this was wrong. But right now, all I had is divorce papers signed by Gabriel, and his call being picked up by Lily.
The best of me wanted to consider the most optimistic scenario, like he was kidnapped by her and she was an evil plotting witch doing all this, but the likelihood of that happening was almost zero.

I tried not to let the hollow feeling in my chest returt, the stabbing sensation, the betrayal, the urge to curl up in a ball and cry and never get up, I wanted to be held and just cry, but the person I wanted to be held by was the reason I wanted to be held in the first place.
I had eaten nothing since morning, yet my stomach churned. The nausea I couldn’t control anymore, and I ran into the bathroom, throwing up nothing but the little liquids I had had.
Luna followed me inside, patting my back, and then leaving to get me juice and some fruits, but the thought of eating anything at all just made me want to slouch on the bathroom floor and throw up forever
