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.

Revelation (Livia)

Livia is thoroughly disoriented and looking down on her lap as her hand covers her mouth, but she is still vaguely aware of what is happening around her. 

She feels Raylen's hand on her back and hears a chair being pushed back as Glynis stands up in shock. "Livia! Are you alright?"

"Livia," Raylen says softly, his head suddenly really, really close to hers. "Livia, how are you feeling?" 

"Bad," she manages after a while. "I think I am sick."

"Mhmm. Do you want some warm water?" 

When she nods, he hands her a cup before beginning to pat her back lightly.  

She doesn't want to admit it, but it does make her feel better. 

Still, as her physical discomfort ebbs away, it is replaced by the embarrassment of being the centre of unwanted attention. 

The silver lining is that she is only dry retching. It is, at the very least, certainly easier to deal with than vomit.
