Your Regret Is Beneath My Feet
368 Views · Ongoing · Piper Hayes
I loved Damien for ten years. Ten years, right up until the moment he took the heart that was supposed to save our daughter and gave it to someone else's child.
Lily was only seven. She was terrified of the dark, terrified of pain. She never got that heart. She just faded, right there in that hospital bed.
And Damien was down the hall, celebrating someone else's miracle.
He had no idea what I was holding when he finally came home. He had no idea my stomach cancer had already hit the final stage.
There was nothing left in this world worth staying for.
So this time, I didn't yell. I didn't cry.
I just slid the divorce papers across the table.
He thought I was bluffing.
But this time, I had nothing left to lose.
