It wasn’t until this time—until Sherilyn relapsed—that Gilbert finally understood. He’d always thought he knew the truth. He’d been wrong.

Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?
Filled with jealousy, Sherilyn Gomez pushed her husband Gilbert Johnson’s beloved, who was pregnant at the time, down the stairs, resulting tragically in the loss of the baby.
The city buzzed with whispers about Sherilyn’s tyrannical and wicked nature. In retaliation for his lost love, Gilbert abandoned Sherilyn abroad, cutting off all contact and leaving her to survive on her own. Four years later, Sherilyn returned home. She and Gilbert shared a brief, reconciling smile and agreed to part ways as strangers from then on. When they met again, Sherilyn had become the top attraction in the dance halls, luring countless men who spent fortunes just for a chance to see her, yet they never succeeded. Gilbert grew restless. He confronted her and suggested, “Life’s hard, why not come back to me?” Sherilyn just smiled and coolly responded, “Mr. Johnson, looking for a date? Please take a number and wait in line. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Jenna? At last, Sherilyn stirred. Hesitant, she slowly lifted her head and looked at the phone screen. One small image—and with just that, her eyes reddened and tears streamed down her cheeks. Jenna! She whispered the name, then lunged forward, snatching the phone from Joyce’s hand. She cradled it, staring hungrily at the screen. It … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

I won’t come near you. I won’t touch you-unless you want me to. I promise. Joyce gave a gentle smile, steadying herself on the heavy chair. This thing’s really heavy. How about we put it down, okay? She could feel the tension in the other woman’s arms gradually fading. Finally, the chair thudded softly against … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

I want to… Joyce glanced at his face, gauging his mood. I’m guessing Sherilyn didn’t tell you what happened, did she? That was exactly right. He’d asked Sherilyn about it earlier, but she hadn’t answered-then she’d broken up with him right after. The anger and heartbreak had left his mind in chaos; he’d forgotten to … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

Enough! Gilbert cut her off, his eyes flashing coldly at the corners. I won’t let you get worse- Sherilyn suddenly burst out laughing, her voice sharp and defiant. You think I’m going to cooperate? Not a chance! She met his gaze head-on, refusing to back down. Therapy doesn’t work without my consent. I won’t take … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

What does this mean? Gilbert frowned in confusion as he twisted the cap off the pill bottle. Sherilyn had told him not to just glance at it and move on. Did she mean he should check every single pill? He decided to do exactly that. He shook a handful of pills into his palm and … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

Sherilyn… It was true. Clutching the pill bottle, Gilbert felt an ache twist deep in his chest. When Sherilyn woke, Gilbert was already back, sitting quietly at her bedside. You’re awake?

This time, Sherilyn didn’t wake up quickly. After she was brought out of the ER, she was moved to the observation ward. She’d just undergone a series of tests, and now they had to wait for the results. Gilbert sat by her bedside, keeping watch, until Charles arrived. Mr. Gilbert, Charles said quietly, the lab … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

Rage flared in Gilbert’s chest. Instead of letting go, he tightened his arm and pulled Sherilyn hard against him, holding her in a fierce embrace. We’re engaged. The wedding’s already being planned… Can’t I hold you? He didn’t know it, but that hug was the final straw for Sherilyn’s fraying nerves. Aaah! With a shrill, … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –

What? Sherilyn was coughing so hard she barely noticed at first. But now, hearing his question, she looked down. On the floor by the bed, where some water had spilled, there was a damp, half- dissolved pill. Its edges had already begun to melt, but it was unmistakably a pill -the very one she hadn’t … Read More “Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? –
