Left Me to Die With Wolves? The Queen is back to collect the crown! novel - Chapter 10

Chapter 2 I push open the door. Total darkness. Ryan's shoes are gone. The slippers I got him are just sitting there like sad puppies. He's not coming home tonight. I flop on the couch, letting the dark hide all his shit so I can actually breathe. My phone won't stop buzzing. Instagram notifications going crazy. Ryan posted thirty minutes ago. Nine photos of him and Sophia being all cutesy. Her shoving cake in his mouth, them cracking up by some river, and-are you kidding me-both holding up their marriage licenses like they just hit the jackpot.

His caption: "Best dare ever-when jokes become real?" The comments are already flooding in: "BRO you actually did it?!" "Finally! You two were meant to be!" "When's the reception??" Sophia's heart-reacting every comment: "Thanks guys! Party planning starts now!? My phone buzzes. Emma texting: "Girl what is happening??? Are you okay???" Then Mom's calling, totally panicked: "Nina! I just saw Ryan's Instagram-what is this? Did something happen? How could he-" "We're done, Mom." My voice is flat. "What? When did-" "It's over. Please don't mention him again." I hang up before she can spiral.

Dead silence hits me hard. I blast every light on, exposing all the lies this place was built on. Time to get my stuff. I'm throwing everything in my suitcase. When I see our matching coffee mugs, I grab mine and leave his. Let him share with wife number one. My phone lights up. Ryan texting: wol Walues?

"After Sophia and I get this annulled tomorrow I'll explain everything." Won't even call me.

I delete his number without reading the rest. Suitcase ready, I take one last look at my biggest mistake. (0) Wish Walues? The Queen is hack to collect the crown!
