Chapter Fifteen

Monica

Have you been thinking about me? Do you miss me?

Gazing out of my bedroom window that morning, I couldn’t help but wonder.

I was looking down at puddles on the road outside the mansion, and all I could think of was about Sean’s arms curled up around me. I spotted drops of water rolling down the leaves of the cedar tree near the fence, but my mind was drifting back to the night we met.

I turned on my laptop and logged in to YouTube, seeking a distraction in some hip hop music. Still, the thumb on the top left of the page was not hip hop. It was in fact one of Kate’s all-time favorites: Guns ‘n’ Roses “November Rain.” She would rant on about it every time she heard it. She loved the emotion, the passion in the lyrics, and pretty much every single thing about that ballad. I was never a fan of rock music. I thought it was a bit too loud and too brash. And I would have scrolled down the page, if not for the little voice in my head.

Click it.

Just seconds afterwards, I wished I hadn’t. It brought back images from my—not so distant—past. Axel Rose was sitting on a bed, a bottle of whiskey, and a pack of cigarettes on the nightstand. He put one out in an ashtray as a soft piano introduction ripped the silence to shreds.

I focused on the wet glass in the window, unwilling to put myself through that particular torture. I had been on the wagon for well over two years. That morning however, I was in for another sort of torture. Why? Because the first lyric that came out of Axel Rose’s mouth sounded like it had been written for me…

“When I look into your eyes

I can see a love restrained”

Restrained? No. Caged like a wild beast? Yes.

Sean and I had locked what we had in a cage and thrown away the key. The dream of being with my ideal man was in ashes, and it was all my fault. I couldn’t blame him for anything. He had acted like the gentleman he was, allowing me to hope that, someday, I would be free again.

Raindrops rolled down the glass, tears blurring my vision as I pictured the moment. I am sprinting along an empty street, holding a piece of paper titled “Dissolution of Marriage.” Sean is standing still; his arms open, wearing his brightest smile.

Stop daydreaming, Monica. It’s never going to happen.

A tear toppled over the edge of my eye at that thought. Even if by some miracle I got out of this marriage, I had no idea when that would be. Sean didn’t have to wait for me. By the time I was granted my freedom, he would probably have started a family with someone else.

The last notes of the ballad were fading into nothingness, when a knock on my door brought me back to reality.

“Come in,” I muttered, holding back a sob.

“Good morning, madam.” I recognized the butler’s British accent.
