Chapter 1
Erica
Hayes had spent the better part of the weekend sending back the
wedding gifts. Writing the apologies was the hardest part and as much
as she hated doing it, the truth was that she could not stand having
gifts that reminded her of the wedding that was supposed to take
place. She took a deep breath when she was done writing the last note
and put it in the envelope. She never really did understand why the
woman was always left to deal with the mess in the aftermath. She
always wondered why it couldn’t be the other way round. Maybe
for once men needed to have a taste of what life was like when the
shoe was on the other foot. She sat down and sighed before switching
on the TV. From the corner of her eye, she could see her phone screen
blinking on and off. She had put her phone on silent mode and
unhooked her house phone. She needed her space. She needed the
silence. And it was better that way because every time her phone
would ring it would be some person with heartfelt apologies about her
wedding and honestly she’d heard enough of that already.
As
she sat there, she thought of Eli and the times they’d had. But
even though she was trying to focus on the better days of the
relationship, her memories seemed set on the day she busted Eli
cheating…
It
was on a Thursday afternoon and she was feeling on top of the world
as she walked to her white BMW.
“
You
really showed them, Hayes,” Morris Kirkland, her boss said with
a smile.
“
Thanks,
Mr. Kirkland,” she said with a smile. Morris leaned on the hood
of her car and looked at her.
“
You
keep that up and I will definitely be seeing you in the partnership
list soon,” he said. Erica smiled and nodded.
“
That
is perfect because I have really been wondering when that raise was
going to come,” she said. Morris smiled and then laughed.
“
At
this rate, sooner than you think,” he said before he walked
away leaving Erica standing there with butterflies in her tummy. She
could not help but feel proud of herself. She had taken on one of the
most difficult cases she had ever heard of and she had killed it. A
five million dollar settlement was not something people expected
especially since the initial offer had been four hundred thousand
dollars. Actually, no one had seen that coming, not even the other
lawyers. Everyone thought that she would probably get a million or a
million and a half, not more than that. Guess everyone was more than
a little shocked when they heard the ruling.
As
soon as she got in the car, she cranked up the radio and smiled to
herself as she sang along to Bon Jovi’s Living on a Prayer.
“
Oh
yeah. There ain’t no school like the old school,”
she
thought as she sang along. She passed by Antonio’s Grill, one
of her favorite restaurants. She had made it a habit to get a
celebratory dinner of ravioli and cherry tomatoes from Antonio’s
and as usual, she always got two dinners. She had just walked out of
Antonio’s when she decided to give Eli a heads up and let him
know she was on her way.
“
That’s
odd,” she thought when Eli didn’t pick up. “Maybe
he is in the bathroom or something,” she thought as she started
her car. She shrugged and buckled in before she began driving home.
She had considered getting a touch up on her hair but she shrugged
the thought off. “If it was good enough for the jury, then it
is good enough for Eli,” she said to herself as she caught a
glimpse of her reflection.
Erica
liked to consider herself as a small person with a big personality.
She had learned to love and appreciate her height the day she
discovered high heels. After spending her years in high school and
college being the short girl, she had made a decision to see her
glass as half full especially since she was the most promising
student in her class. After college, she got into the prestigious
Kirkland & Smith, the leading law firm in the country and
according to Forbes, the third largest firm in the UK and US
combined. Most of her classmates were jealous since she was earning
almost triple what they were making in her first year alone. Two
months into the new job, Erica had already earned a name for herself.
She was like the Bethany Horowitz at Kirkland & Ellis, small but
dangerous.
When
she finally got home, she looked at her reflection in the mirror
before she pulled out the pin that held her loose bun in place,
letting her thick luxurious brown hair flow on her shoulders. She
grabbed the takeout boxes from Antonio’s Grill and stepped out
of the car but when she saw her reflection in the driver seat window,
she frowned. She put the boxes on the car roof before she took off
the jacket she had on leaving her in a cream colored pencil button
down knee-length dress. Braving the cold Vermont weather would
definitely be worth it in a few minutes. She twisted her head to the
side wondering what to do to look a little sexier, not that she
needed any help or anything.
“
A
button or two should do the trick,”
she
thought as she undid two buttons –and then a third. A smile
played on her lips when she saw how perfect her cleavage looked. It
was like looking at two amazingly perfect cushions on her chest. She
grabbed her bag and the takeout boxes before she walked into the
house.
“
Eli!
Babe I’m home,” she announced when she walked into the
three bedroom house she shared with her fiancé. She looked
around the living room and raised an eyebrow. There were two wine
glasses and some Chinese takeout boxes. The TV was on but there was
no sign of Eli. She shook her head as she put her bag down and kicked
off her shoes before she began clearing the table. This was classic
Eli. He would always entertain his friends and forget or ignore to
clean up. “Too bad you ruined your appetite. I brought us
ravioli for dinner and you know what that means. I won!” she
said excitedly as she walked the two glasses to the kitchen. She put
her hands on the counter and wondered why Eli was not answering. A
smile played on her lips when she realized that Eli must have been in
the bathroom. He hated talking while on the can. He always said it
was bad manners. But Erica could not wait to share her good news. She
quickly made her way out of the kitchen and began walking down the
hallway. But when she touched the doorknob, her heart skipped a beat.
She saw a shoe outside her bedroom door, a shoe that didn’t
belong to her. She tried taking deep breaths as she walked towards
her bedroom. There was no telling what she would find. Her mind was
going crazy with all the different but possible scenarios waiting for
her on the other side of the door. When she got there and pushed the
door open, she gasped in anticipation but all she saw was an empty
bed. An empty unmade bed. She looked around and blinked back tears
when she saw a black satin skirt and a flowered blouse on the floor.
She could hear the shower running in the bathroom and the clothes on
the floor along with the unmade bed told her more than she needed to
know. But for some reason, she found herself slowly walking towards
the bathroom. She wanted to stop herself but for some crazy reason,
she couldn’t.
“
Oh
my God,” she said in a low voice when she opened the bathroom
door and came face to face with a naked Eli who was pinning a naked
woman to the bathroom wall. She opened her mouth to speak but she was
not sure what she was supposed to say. She gave him a disappointed
look before she pulled off the princess cut engagement ring and threw
it at him. She spun on her heel and walked out of the bedroom leaving
Eli calling out to her but she wasn’t sure she wanted to hear
anything he had to say. All she knew was that the wedding was off and
she could not stand being in that house a second longer. As the tears
finally began rolling down her cheeks, Eli chased after her as she
ran out to her car and started the engine. As she drove away, the red
Prius parked opposite her house finally registered in her mind. She
had seen it before, many times before…which meant that this,
Eli’s indiscretions had been going on for a while. As she drove
off, she could not help but wonder if he had cheated on her because
she was always busy working.
“
No,
this has nothing to do with you, Erica. He made the choice to cheat
because he didn’t deserve you,”
she
told herself as she drove off but even those encouraging words were
not enough to make her feel better about herself. The next thing she
knew, Eli’s stuff was gone from the house. He had moved out and
moved on with his life without giving her as much as an explanation.
And even though Erica knew she deserved an explanation, she didn’t
really want anything that reminded her of Eli’s betrayal.
Erica
was staring at the ceiling with the sounds of Pierce Morgan in the
background when she heard her apartment door open. She rolled her
head to the side to see her sister Emily and her longtime friend
Cassandra walking in.
“
That
officially marks the last service provider canceled,” Cassandra
said as she sat down next to Erica.
“
Thanks
guys, I couldn’t have done this without you,” Erica said
forcing out a smile.
“
By
the way, you should really lock up. The world is a dangerous place to
be in nowadays,” Emily said in a cheerful voice. Erica looked
at her and shook her head.
“
I
literally live in a building practically owned by the police
department,” she said. That may have not been reason enough but
for her it was enough. It had always been enough knowing that eighty
per cent of her neighbors had firearms; legal firearms.
