Moonlit Mountain (Caleb and Sarah) novel Chapter 3

(MoonlitMountain) Chapter3

Back from the orphanage, I went to the walk–in closet to pack. I realized how few clothes I owned only the few outfits Judith bought me when I married Caleb. My husband of four years had never bought me a single garment.

After packing my clothes, I put all the gifts I’d given Caleb over the years together and called the recycling center. I sent him a nice present every year for his birthday, but he’d never even glanced at them. They were covered in dust.

As the recycling truck left, a Maybach pulled up behind me. It was Caleb’s younger sister, Chloe. She, wearing a red dress, snorted at the departing truck.“Huh, selling cardboard boxes? Typical small–town girl.”

Ignoring her, I turned to leave. Chloe stopped me. “Hey!”

I’d always been subservient to the Hayes family, so my indifference enraged

her.“Are you deaf? I’m talking to you!”

I shook her hand off, a flicker of irritation in my eyes. Chloe hated me,

because she didn’t think I deserved Caleb. I’d put up with her for four years, but

She had captivating eyes, long black hair, and porcelain skin. Even in a simple

“Olivia’s house needs renovation, so she’ll be staying here for a few days,” he said to me.

I said nothing. Olivia stood up, uneasy.“Caleb, maybe I should leave. This is

your place and you’re married. Sarah seems unhappy…”

Caleb stopped her. “It’s okay. Sarah is a good girl. She won’t mind.”

Watching them, I smiled. “He’s right. Olivia, make yourself at home.” This

house would eventually belong to Olivia anyway.
