Begged All You Want, But You Will Never Have Me Back

For five years, I lived in silence, believing my husband, Nathan, truly loved me. The night I regained my hearing, I walked into his office, eager to surprise him for our anniversary—only to overhear a conversation that shattered my world.

"She’s just been a placeholder since Amelia left me. But now that Amelia’s back, I’ll find a way to dispose of her."

I froze, my heart hammering in my chest.

His friend asked, “What if she finds out that Amelia was the reason she’s deaf? That Amelia was drunk the night she hit her?”

Nathan only laughed.

"She’ll never know. She’s deaf, remember? I could curse her right now, call her every disgusting name in the book, and she’d still smile at me because she wouldn’t hear a damn thing."

I stood in his arms, his lips pressed to my forehead, his hands signing sweet words—while his voice sentenced me to betrayal.

He thought I was still deaf. He thought I was helpless.

But Nathan underestimated me. And now, it’s my turn to make him suffer.
