Chapter: No Place for meChapter 7“Alia!”My sister screamed in my face.“When will you ever learn to do things right? Do you know how important your marriage to Drew is to this family?”I looked at my kids. I could see the panic on their faces.“Babies, go to your room,” I said softly. “I’ll join you later.”“Okay, Mommy,” Liam replied.I knew they didn’t want to leave my side. I could see it in their faces. But I didn’t want them witnessing another chaos. Not anymore. I watched until they were out of sight.“Alice,” I said, turning back to her. “Did you even bother to ask what caused the divorce before pouring all the blame on me?”“I don’t need to ask,” she lashed out. “You are the reason, Alia. Same old you, always ruining every opportunity you get. You had just one job—stay married to Drew Jacobs. And you failed. Whose fault is that? Mine? Or Dad’s? Or Mum’s?”“He was with another woman in our home,” I said, my voice shaking. “The kids saw him.”She frowned. “Wait… you didn’t say you were taking them to

Chapter: The end of usChapter 6Those words were supposed to hurt, but they didn’t.A part of me wanted to hear them.His rejection.I needed to feel it to react the way I wanted to.“You heard him… GET OUT!” Kirah yelled at me.I grabbed the envelope and moved closer to Drew.“I have waited for this day,” I said. “To finally tell you how I feel. You are such a miserable husband, Drew.”“He is no longer your husband,” Kirah shot back.“Oh, shut up,” I snapped, turning to her. “Let me finish.”She looked too stunned to speak.“After everything you put me through, this is how you pay me back?”“Stop being a drama queen, Alia,” Drew shot back as he stood up, coming face to face with me.“Oh, Drew, I can be many things, but one thing I am not is a drama queen. I stayed quiet all these years while you and your family treated me like a pushover. Your mother never stopped reminding me that I wasn’t good enough for her perfect son. And you never stood by me. Not once did you defend me. And now you stand there and

Chapter: Marriage?Chapter 2 – Marriage?I stood in front of my parents’ house with my twins pressed close to my sides, my fingers gripping their small hands like they might disappear if I let go. They looked so happy to be here. This was the first time they would see their grandparents. As for me? I wasn’t happy. I was scared.Everything looked the same, the same way I walked out of it. Nothing had changed except me. I didn’t look like the eighteen-year-old who walked out those gates.Before I could gather the courage to knock again, the door flew open.“Jesus…” I whispered.My mother froze when she saw us. Her eyes went from me to the twins, then back to me again. For a second, I thought she would yell.

She dropped to her knees and pulled Liam and Luna into her arms, hugging them tightly as what looked like tears streamed down her face.“Look at you,” she cried. “Look at these beautiful children
