DIVORCED: MY EX HUSBAND WANTS ME BACK
My whole body began to quiver as I looked up at Ryan who wore a smug or was it? I couldn't tell as my vision was blurred with tears.
"What is the meaning of this?" I questioned still in disbelief. Where had it all gone wrong??!.
"It's exactly what it says in the paper, Ciara"
"And what is that?" I stubbornly inquired. It was as if I didn't want to believe what the paper read until Ryan says it. A part of me still wanted to fight for whatever we still had left.
But then he'd said it. Ryan had uttered those words I so desperately dreaded," I want a divorce, Ciara"
***
Ciara is the heiress to her father's company but she left all of that to be in a contract marriage with Ryan. It was supposed to be a 'no-strings-attached' kind of feeling but, she couldn't help but fall in love with him. Just when she wanted to start a clean slate on their first anniversary, she was handed a divorce paper.
Ryan is a billionaire and a man with a hardened heart. He never saw Ciara as something more than just a 'fake wife' who was willing to help him out with a case. Deciding that he had had enough, Ryan hands Ciara a divorce paper setting himself free from her.
But on his way to the office of the new investor of his company one day, he is overcomed by a welling shock that the name of his new investor was Ciara. The same Ciara he'd once known.
What happens when this two duo meets for the first time since their rough divorce?

Chapter: TRYING TO FORGET THE EXRyan“Good work everyone” I announced, stepping out of my office with my bag in hand to the rest of the workers as we decided to call it a day; it was 7pm already.“Goodnight, Mr Ryan”“See you tomorrow” They responded to which I replied with a smile. I turned to Kate, my secretary. “Don’t stay here until late”“Yes, sir” With all things for tbe day taken care of, I made my way out of the company to the parking lot; heading straight for to my car. On getting to it, I pulled the door opened, climbed in as I revived the car engine; zooming off. My phone rang and as Anne’s name flashed across the screen, I suddenly didn’t feel like going home; where I knew she’d be waiting for me. I answered nevertheless. “What is it?”“Are you still at work?”“I’m on my way home”“No, don’t come home tonight”Taken aback, I questioned. “What did you say?”“I’m angry with you. You didn’t call all day to apologize on how you treated me at court today and I’m really not feeling like sharing the same be

Chapter: WORRY OR JEALOUSY?Ryan“We won” Anne says with a bright smile, pecking my cheeks. “And we get to keep it all; the house, the cars, everything”“There’s no ‘win or lose’ in a divorce, Anne” Turning to face my lawyer, Mr Alfred, I extend my hands out to him. “Thanks for your hardwork”He placed his hands in mine. “Likewise, Mr Ryan. Then, I’ll take my leave now”“Drive safe”“Honey, will you drop me off at home?” Anne inquired as we made our way out of the court room. “You can go by yourself, I have to go back to work” I handed her a 100 dollar bill. “Take the bus or hail a cab”Anne scoffed; looking from the money in my hands to meet my eyes. “I should take the bus when you could just drive me?”“I told you, I have to get back to work. Things are quite hectic and—”“You really have a knack of making someone feel low, do you know that? Did I force you to cheat on your wife? No, you came to me by yourself and now you are acting as if you can barely stand the sight of me” Anne dragged the dollar bill out

Chapter: DIVORCED Ciara“All arise” The judge commanded as we all rose up to our feet. “You may all be seated” we took our seats. “The case of Mrs. Ciara vs Mr. Ryan dated April 28 is now open” The huge hit his gravel against the table as Ryan’s lawyer stood up to start the case. Ryan was the petitioner while I was the respondant.“Your honor, there really isn’t much to the case. My client, Mr Ryan and his wife has harmoniously decided to call their marriage quits due to difference in personalities” I scoffed. Did he just say “Harmoniously”?. Ryan’s lawyer continued. “Furthermore your honor, my client and the respondant weren’t in a real marriage”The judge eyes bulged. “What do you mean by that?”Ryan’s lawyer held out a brown envelope. “In my hands is proof that my client and the respondant were in a marriage bounded by a contract for both their benefits which I would like to submit as evidence to the case”The judge looked at me. “Does the respondant agree to this evidence?”“Yes, your honor” ca

Chapter: A PROMISECiara“Are you sure you don’t need me to come with you to court?” Tina asked for the umpteenth time this morning. The first thing I'd done when I’d woken up this morning was shower and then get dressed in a pretty white gown; one I didn’t wear often when I was still “married” to Ryan. I’d spent an hour fixing my hair and doing makeup because today was the day Ryan and I finally settled our divorce in court and no, I wasn't trying to impress Ryan with the efforts I poured into my looks; I was just trying to hold up the best way I could. I couldn’t go to the court looking like I’d cried my eyes out all night now, could I?. Even if I only had a day to assimilate everything that has happened so far, I had to look strong, like my world didn’t just fall apart. Tina suggested I eat breakfast before leaving and I’d agreed.In-between meals, I respond. “I can handle things for myself, Tina”“I know. It’s just…I’m pretty sure Ryan is not going to be in court alone so—” Tina was cut short by

Chapter: MAKE THINGS RIGHTRyanThe sun ray shining brightly upon my face make me scowl and jolt wide awake. Opening my eyes slowly, I reached out towards the bedstand with my free hand to pick up my phone. Glancing through and seeing that there was no call nor messages from Tiana, I grumbled. “She should have at least left word if Ciara is with her. Or isn’t she?”Feeling arms tighten their hold around my waist, it was then I’d noticed Anne had woken up. “Goodmorning,” she says sweetly. “Huh? Oh, good morning”“Is something bothering you?” Anne sat upright, “It’s not—”I stand up abruptly from the bed. “I have to get to work”With that said, I make my way towards the bathroom to shower. I had a lot on my mind and the last thing I needed this morning was Anne’s tantrum.While in the bathroom; when certain that I was alone, I placed a call at Tina but she didn’t pick.“Could she be at work?” I muttered, still not giving up my attempt just yet. When it seemed like all was to no avail, I decided to put an end

Chapter: GOING BACK HOMECiaraOut in the dark night; with my heavy suitcase in hand, I looked around thinking of where I should spend the night. “Should I go to the sauna?” I muttered under my breathe, bringing out my phone to check the time, “It’s too late. Most of the sauna’s would have been closed by now. What do I do? My battery almost down”Just then my phone rang; Tina flashed across the screen. Tina is a very good friend of mine. She’s been around since Ryan and I got married so she was more like a family friend.She was and still is the only confidant I’ve had since I moved away from home, work and everything. I cleared my throat before answering her call, “Tina, what’s the ma—”“Cut the crap and tell me where you are”“What do you me-““Your husband called me so hurry up and tell me where you are”I stomped my feet heavily on the ground. Why had Ryan called Tina? The least I wanted to do right now was thread on my friend’s space. But now given as I wasn’t left with much of a choice; because I kne
