Billionaire's First Love Returns From The Dead

Raylen Vale seems to lead a charmed life. He heads multiple multi-million dollar enterprises, is married to a beautiful and dedicated ex-model wife, and has two adorable children. What's more, he's achieved all this before the ripe old age of thirty-five. Unlike most successful CEOs, he's still young and handsome even when standing beside his gorgeous wife. It's no wonder that the media loves to fawn over his picture-perfect family. So why does he return every winter solstice to the abandoned and unvisited grave of one Delaney Sackville-West? And why does he demand the dearly departed to "Look at me living well while you rot into nothingness" as he paces before the tomb? And why, despite his harsh words, does he envy the soil that gets to wrap itself around her body? Trigger warnings: Suicide, eating disorders.

Confession (Livia)

Livia is not the least surprised by her soon-to-be ex-husband's reply. The old adage does say that a woman does not ask questions unless she already knows the answers. Like all sayings, it is not always true, but this time it is.

What she is surprised by, however, is his lack of elaboration and justification. He does not explain why he did it. He is sparing her the sordid details too—details that she is dying to know but will also make her feel like dying if she does know.

He is giving her a simple admission of his wrongdoing and no more.

"Is that all you're going to say?" she prompts.

Raylen sighs. "If you have more questions, ask away. I will answer them. But I do not see a point in explaining myself when you have not asked for it. I cannot explain myself without sounding like I am finding excuses for my behaviour."
