The Deep Sea Never Sees the Moon Novel

Chapter 5 In his arms, McKenzie said weakly, "Cass, just let it go... Let her leave. It's just a little blood." Caspian was firm. "If you do something wrong, you face the consequences. Don't worry. I won't cut her any slack just because she's my wife." He paused, then spoke each word clearly. "Get on your knees. Apologize to Mackie." The entire ballroom fell silent. I looked at the man I'd once believed would always be there for Malcolm and me. All the strength drained from my body. Slowly, I pulled free from the security guard's grip. Under the stares of everyone, I bent my knees.

"I'm sorry... Ms. Grant." I looked up, using the last of my strength to beg. "Caspian, please, let me go save Mal..." His throat moved slightly, and something flickered in his eyes. But then McKenzie's sob made him tighten his hold on her. "Just get out," he said, turning his face away. He picked her up and left without another glance. I crumpled onto the cold floor, watching him disappear into the light. There was no child to hold, no hope to cling to-just the cold, filthy floor beneath me.

The first call went straight to voicemail. The second time, he didn't pick up. In despair, sitting on the cold tile with Malcolm's stiffening body in my arms, I kept dialing. No one ever answered. After saying my final goodbye, I returned to the beach. The setting sun stained the sea a deep red. The waves pushed against my back, one after another, as if urging me on or laughing at me. After a moment, I pulled out my phone.

"Caspian." "Mal is dead." "It's time for me to go, too." A few seconds later, my phone buzzed. His response held the same impatient edge as always. "Rosalie. Is this ever going to end?" I stared at those words for a long time. Then I took the pill bottle from my pocket, poured all the sleeping pills I'd saved over three months into my hand, and swallowed them. "Don't be scared, sweetheart. Mommy's coming." Step by step, I walked toward the deeper waves, toward the gathering dark. 49.58% 11:24 D The world began to sway and blur in front of me. Good.
