He said nothing. Just stood there.
The funeral was set for the next day.
And that was when Zane sent over a dress.
Bright red.

Tonight would be the last time,
Dressed in red, 1 stood out like a wound among the sea of designer gowns..
“Is that Mrs. Parker? What the hell is she wening?”
Seriously, didn’t her sister just die? Why is she in bright red? So tacky.”
“Maybe she’s happy about it. Who knows?”
Their whispers were needles, sharp and relentless.
Expressionless, I walked through the crowd and stopped in front of Zane.
He was laughing with Lily, but the moment he saw me, his smile vanished, replaced by disgust.
I pulled out the divorce papers I had prepared and slapped them onto his chest
“Zane, let’s get a divorce.”
My voice wasnt lood, but it silenced the entire ballroom.
Zane’s face darkened, storm clouds gathering in his eyes
He snatched the papers and tore them to shreds.

“You think just because your sister died, you can do whatever you want?”
He stepped closer, his gaze dangerous.

As my consciousness faded, I saw Zane’s bloodshot eyes.
And Lily’s triumphant smile.
Zane drove like a madman to the hospital.
The doctors said the poison was unknown, that they had done everything they could.
Zane could only watch as my vitals slowly flatlined.
Holding me in his arms, his body trembled violently as he kept calling my name
“Chloe, wake up! I won’t let you die!”
“You want a divorce? Fine! Just wake up, and I’ll give you anything you want!
“Chloe, I’m begging you. I was wrong.

He looked like a man who had lost his soul.
Lily clung to his arm, whispering softly.
