RISING EX WIFE Love Me Again Mrs Graves (Eva and Max) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

EVA'S POV

It feels like the walls are closing in on me. Every breath is a struggle. My heart? It's in pieces. Everywhere I look, there are headlines, whispers, and comments. They're like knives, cutting into wounds I thought had healed.

But the pain never really went away. It was just hiding, waiting to come back worse than ever.

But the pain, the agony, never truly left. It just hides until something rips it open again. And now it’s laid bare for the entire world to see.

It started with the whispers, the suspicious glances from the staff, and the awkward silences when I entered a room. But then, the headlines came. They were everywhere, splashed across every tabloid and news site, turning my

private pain into public show.

The news people are all over my misery, spreading it like wildfire. The headlines keep flashing in my mind:

*"Max Graves Dumps Wife for Her Sister"*

*"Eva Brown Left Out in the Cold"*

*"Heartbroken Eva: Rejected and Alone"*

*"Everyone Loves Max and Sara's Love Story - Poor Eva"*

*"The Wife Nobody Wants: Eva's Sad Life in Max's Shadow"*

*"Forgotten Eva: Max Cozies Up to Sara"*

I can't stop reading them over and over. I keep hoping it'll hurt less if I read them enough. But it doesn't. It just makes the pain worse until I can barely breathe.

They think I'm a joke. A woman who couldn't keep her husband. A wife left for someone prettier, sexier, better, desirable.

Pathetic. Humiliated. Weak. That’s how they see me. That’s how I see me.

I buried my face in my hands as the tears come again. They come too easily these days, like I’ve lost all control. I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know how I let things get this bad, how I became this.

My hands shake as I hold my phone. It's always the same. Every article. Every comment.

*"She should've known Max would never love her."*

*"Look at her. No wonder he left."*
