Chapter 38 : Light at the End of the Tunnel

*Lily*

It was like I was living in a dream, only to wake up to the reality of a nightmare. That had been the theme of my life over the past months.

I missed William desperately, and being with him felt like a dream until his daughter and ex-wife interfered; since then, my name had been slandered, and I was still broken over the hurtful comments that Eva had made about me. How could she be so cruel and cold-hearted?

I stretched and yawned from a night full of tossing and turning. I was grateful the boys let me stay in their spare bedroom until I found a new place. I managed to get a few hours of sleep, but frequently woke up to my heart racing and what felt like a gloomy overcast sky as the reality set in that William and I were no longer together.
