It was late, the night still and silent.

"Chloe!"

Luke woke up, calling my name as if he had just escaped a nightmare. His right hand clutched his chest, and he was gasping for breath.

Sweat covered his forehead, and his chest heaved unevenly.

Frantically, he fumbled for his phone on the nightstand, dialing my number again. Still off.

He opened our chat history, stopping at the last message-a voice note where he had threatened me.

Only then did Luke realize I might actually be mad this time. After all, I'd never disappeared for more than three days without saying anything.

He mumbled under his breath, "Women are nothing but trouble."

He then called Roy. "First thing in the morning, go to the jewelry store and buy the Heart of the Ocean. And pick up a bouquet of yellow roses while you're at it."

Yellow roses meant an apology.

In his mind, my disappearance was just another one of my usual tantrums, something he could smooth over with a simple gesture, a little sweet talk, a crook of his finger, and I'd come running back.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his face twisted in discomfort. Half-conscious, he muttered, "Chloe, get my stomach medicine."

The room was empty and silent, with no one to respond.

I looked up to see Luke clutching his stomach, his face twisted in pain.

He had a bad stomach, and I'd spent years taking care of it, always keeping medication on hand just in case.

But ever since my miscarriage, things between us had changed for the worse. And with Anna's deliberate seduction, he'd spent more of the time in the past three months with her than he did with me. Without my care, his stomach problems flared up again.

Luke was curled up on the bed, writhing in pain.

I stood off to the side, watching coldly. Luke, there'd be no one to bring you medicine anymore.
