I am still recovering from my attack. I am mentally and physically battered and I just want all this

to be over. Three times someone has tried to kill me. Three times I managed to survive. I just don’t

know when my luck will run out because at this point whoever wants me dead seems hell–bent on

making sure I don’t see Noah again.

I shiver when I remember how close to meeting my maker I had been. He had been right there in

everything in me not to let them fall.

That I would miss all the milestones in his life and it saddened me. The thought of that potential

future broke my heart into a million different pieces.

“Are you okay miss?” someone asks me.

I look up to find an elderly woman staring at me with concern. Her kind eyes assessing my face. It

was still a bit bruised but at least the swelling had gone down. Now I just had the healing lip,

black eye and purple cheek.

“I’m okay, thank you” I try to smile, but I just don’t feel like it.

I’ve been in a kind of funk since my attack happened. I’m just going through the motions. Nothing

feels real, it all just feels like a bad dream. I was still waiting for myself to wake up. Deep down I

know that this is real, but a part of me thinks if just pretend then it will all go away.

“You don’t look okay…Do you want me to call someone for you?” she asks.

How does it feel to know that he doesn’t consider you woman enough? That he preferred to fuck me even though he hated me rather than take you as his mistress? And how does it feel to know that you won’t stand a chance now that Emma was back?” I smirk, feeling happy that I finally spoke
