The Deep Sea Never Sees the Moon Novel

Chapter 3 There was no time to grieve. I immediately called a cab and rushed to the veterinary clinic. The light in the operating room stayed on for an hour before it finally went dark. A doctor came out, removing his mask. "I'm sorry. It was kidney failure leading to cardiac arrest... We tested the vomit. It was chocolate poisoning." This Samoyed had been with me for thirteen years. He was family to me. I carried the dog's cold body home and pulled up the security footage from earlier. On the screen, McKenzie stood with her back to the camera.

She was leisurely unwrapping pieces of chocolate and feeding them to my dog with a bright smile. I picked up my phone, ready to call and confront her, when a video message suddenly came through. Outside a floor-to-ceiling window, fireworks exploded in brilliant color. Inside the room, clothes were scattered across the floor. Caspian had McKenzie pinned against the edge of a hotel bed, kissing her with passion-a kind of heat and hunger he had never shown me in our five years of marriage. "Mackie, the only time I feel alive is when I'm holding you." Her voice was breathy and sweet.

"Cass, how long do we have to keep hiding like this? When can I finally stand by your side for everyone to see?" Caspian went still. After a long pause, his voice came back, low and hoarse. "If I'd known she'd be such a trouble, I should have let her die with her father that day." In that instant, I felt all the warmth drain from my body. Now, everything was clear.

I had no idea dogs couldn't eat chocolate." I raised my hand and slapped her hard across the face. "Stop pretending," I hissed. I grabbed her by the collar, dragged her to the freshly dug grave, and forced her head down toward the dirt. "Don't you dare say you didn't know chocolate is poisonous! You did this on purpose!" Caspian charged over, furious. He grabbed a fistful of my hair and shoved me back against a tree. The rough bark scraped painfully across my back. "Rosalie!" he roared, his voice ringing in my ears. "Have you lost your damn mind?! She said it was an accident!

It was just a dog! It's dead, so let it go! "If anything happens to the baby Mackie is carrying because of this, I swear I will make you wish you were dead." Caspian gathered McKenzie up, his movements cautious and soft. What? McKenzie was pregnant! The sustained tension and emotional turmoil were too much. My vision went black, and I fainted. When I came to, something soft and white was nuzzling my "Alfie..." I murmured instinctively, reaching out to touch it. hand. Caspian was leaning against the doorframe, a cigarette between his fingers.

She's forgiven you. "She's agreed to have the baby. It'll be yours on paper. The kid will just call her 'Mommy Mackie'." Before I could respond, some onlookers spoke up impatiently. "Don't be ungrateful. Mr. Fleetwood's giving you a way out. Are you really going to act all high and mighty?" "Exactly. If your father hadn't pressured him with that debt, a man like Mr.

Fleetwood would never have married you in the first place." I looked at Caspian. He pressed his lips together and said nothing. The last fragile hope I'd been clinging to inside me quietly snapped. I slid the plain band off my ring finger and placed it on the table. My voice was calm and flat. "Caspian, I'm returning this to you.
