Chapter 97

I stared out the window with my hand on my belly. I had found myself subconsciously doing that often. It was now just something that was almost second nature to me. The week had flown by so fast and now we were on our way home and 1 didn’t even know how to feel about it all.

Maui had been an absolute dream but now having to return back to reality was like the cruelest of jokes.

I had missed my husband dearly but I wished that I could just transport him to Maui and we could live out our days there.

But that wasn’t possible.

I still had a movie to finish and my sister had to finally disconnect herself from that vile man once and for all. We had left broken and tired women but we were returning healed and whole. And I was returning recharged and ready for whatever war was to come. I would ride with my sister every single time she asked me to.

She was a part of the law firm where Rina’s lawyer was and I hated that she still had so much access to us, to my husband.

“I don’t like to see you like this. Your husband did all of this for you and he has gone above and beyond for you to feel special and cared for throughout this entire trip. You have no reason to doubt him.”

“It’s not him that I’m doubting. It’s that little witch that somehow always manages to worm her way into my life. And not to mention the fact that she was quite literally trying to be me. She was copying my style and my hair. She wanted my life and I didn’t know how no one else but me could see it.
