Chapter 10 

It had been days since Jackson returned to 

the house, and it was still empty. 

No sound of footsteps. 

No scent of fresh–baked bread. 

No gentle humming from the kitchen. 

Just silence. 

Trina was gone.

At first, Jackson told himself it was temporary 

—that she was simply upset. That she would 

return like she always did, maybe after a few 

dramatic days away. But days turned to a 

week, and her absence carved a hollow out 

of him. 

He started calling her old friends. Her old 

office. Even her father’s associates. No one 

knew anything, or at least, they claimed they 

didn’t. 

In desperation, he visited the police station 

and tried to file a missing person report.

The officer across the desk glanced at the 

divorce papers Jackson had brought for 

context. “Sir… I’m sorry. But you’re no longer 

legally connected. She has the right to 

disappear if she wants. This isn’t a missing 

person’s case. It’s someone walking away from a marriage.” 

“But she’s my wife-” Jackson snapped. 

“She’s your ex–wife,” the officer corrected 

gently. “And it’s final.” 

Jackson walked out of the precinct with a

hollow in his chest and a rage building in his 

throat. 

Back home, Donna was lounging on the sofa 

with a glass of wine. She glanced at him and 

raised an eyebrow. 

“Well?” she asked. “Any sign of our little 

runaway?”

His voice cracked, frustration bubbling 

beneath every word. “I should’ve listened to 

my gut when she sent that message. I felt it— 

something wasn’t right. But no, I let you and

Tania talk me into staying. I told myself she’d 

calm down like always… but this time, she 

didn’t.” He ran a hand through his hair, 

pacing. “I let her walk out thinking I didn’t 

care. Thinking I chose a trip over her. What 

kind of man does that? What kind of 

husband?”

He turned away, guilt pressing heavy on his 

chest. “She was begging me in her own way. 

And I ignored her. I brushed her off like she 

didn’t matter.” He gritted his teeth. “And now… 

maybe it’s too late to make it right.” 

Donna scoffed. “Isn’t this what we wanted?

For her to finally get out of our lives?”

Jackson turned sharply toward her. “No. This 

isn’t what I wanted. She can’t just divorce me. 

She’s mine.” 

Tania, who had just come down the stairs, 

folded her arms. “But she did, Dad. Maybe it’s 

time we just… forget about her.” 

“She’s right,” Donna chimed in. “And besides, 

maybe she left because she was seeing 

someone else.”

Jackson’s eyes darkened. “That’s impossible. 

Trina wouldn’t-” 

“Oh, really?“. Donna stood and pulled out her 

phone. “I wasn’t going to show you this 

because I knew it would hurt, but maybe it’s 

time you see the truth.” 

She pulled up a set of photos–images that 

showed Trina laughing with a man in a 

bakery. Another where the man handed her 

something over the counter. One where their 

heads were close, as if talking intimately.

“These are fake,” Jackson muttered. 

“They’re not,” Donna said smoothly. “I had 

seen them weeks ago. I didn’t want to break 

your heart, Jack. But she was clearly seeing 

someone even before she left. It’s why she 

divorced you. She had someone else 

waiting.” 

He stared at the images, numb. The images 

stung more than he expected. And even 

though something in his gut told him they 

didn’t add up, the pain in his chest 

overwhelmed reason.

He crushed the phone in his hand and threw 

it onto the couch. “Then I should’ve killed that 

guy… I should’ve never let this happen. I 

should’ve stopped it–this is all your fault!” he 

roared, turning to Donna. 

Donna flinched, shocked. “My fault?” 

Tania stepped forward, siding with her aunt. 

“Why are you blaming Aunt Donna when 

Mom’s the one who cheated?” 

“No,” Jackson whispered. “No, that’s not 

true…”

He stumbled away from them and slammed 

the bedroom door shut behind him.

The scent of Trina still lingered faintly in the 

room. He dropped to the edge of the bed, his 

hands shaking. 

And then he remembered her clearly… 

She was laughing as she chased flour across 

the kitchen counter, scolding him for tossing 

dough too early. 

“Jackson! That was supposed to chill first!”

“Rules are meant to be broken,” he’d grinned, 

flinging a bit of flour her way. 

She squealed and chased him through the 

kitchen, both of them laughing like children. 

Later, they collapsed on the floor together, 

breathless, cheeks smudged white. 

Another memory. Their first anniversary. 

She had surprised him with his favorite dish, 

the entire room lit with candles. Soft music

floor. 

He kissed her forehead and whispered, “I

She smiled up at him. “Well, you have me. So 

deal with it.” 

And another–The night she stayed up all 

night when he was sick, holding a cool cloth to his forehead and humming softly. She had kissed his knuckles like he was fragile. Like 

he was worth it.

thought, I’ll never let you go.

And another–when she had found out she 

was pregnant. She cried in his arms, 

trembling with joy and fear all at once, and he 

had kissed her belly, promising he’d be the 

best father. 

She had started knitting tiny socks at night, 

humming lullabies as if their child could 

already hear. 

He remembered how she would place his

hand on her stomach, whispering, “Feel that? 

That’s our baby saying hi.” 

And he had smiled, believing their life was 

finally perfect. But then… the loss came like a 

storm. She wept silently, and he held her, but 

even then, he’d already started drifting. 

Now those memories crashed into him like 

waves, relentless and cold. 

He dropped his head into his hands, breath 

ragged.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “Trina…” 

He looked up, eyes red, heart aching. 

“Please…” 

A tear slipped down his cheek. 

“Please, Trina… come back to me.”
