Leave Me, Dear Ex-husband
"You're…you're divorcing me on our anniversary? Our fourth anniversary?"
He quirked an eyebrow. "So what?"
A surge of anger swept through me at his aloofness.
"Tell me Jason. Tell me. Did our marriage mean anything to you?"
“You could’ve at least let me eat before destroying me,” I said, my lips trembling with the weight of unshed tears.
Jason shrugged. “I don’t see the point of dragging it out. It’s done. Sign the papers.”
On their fourth wedding anniversary, Jason slides divorce papers over the dining table. Isabelle is bewildered and tries to reason with him but he is adamant and he insists that she signs the papers.
Then, Lila, her cousin, appears out of nowhere, visibly pregnant and clings to Jason possessively.
Utterly shocked and angered, she signs the papers and leaves the house. When she returns, she is locked out. Just like that she becomes homeless.
She wakes up in a cheap motel with no plan, no money, just nothing. She gets a cleaning job but on her way home after the first work day, she collapses.
She discovers she is pregnant. By the help of a mysterious man she meets at the club, she leaves town.
Years later, she returns to the city, changed, sophisticated and wealthy.
What happens when her path and Jason's cross?
Is she back for dirty revenge? To crush his world to nothing but dust? Or is there a chance she would take him back?
What happens when the mysterious man returns to her life?

Chapter: Chapter 5 Isabelle I stared out the car window, watching the city’s edges blur into the distance. The bright morning sun warmed my face, but inside, I felt cold, empty. Just hours ago, I’d been discharged from the hospital. A sense of pressure clawed its way up my chest, making it difficult to breathe. Was it fear? Fear of the unknown? Because nothing seemed to make sense to me anymore. Just a few days ago my world was good, almost perfect. But it came crashing down so suddenly that everything had felt surreal. Like my past never existed. Adrian’s hand rested casually on the steering wheel, his eyes on the road but his presence filling the cramped space between us. I swallowed hard and broke the silence. “Where are you taking me?” My voice was quieter than I expected. But my gaze held suspicion. “To somewhere safe,” he answered simply, not glancing at me. I turned to look at him, suspicion sharp in my voice. “Safe? And why exactly should I trust you? You show up like some shadow from

Chapter: Chapter 4 Isabelle I knocked on the apartment door. An elderly woman peered out, squinting through glasses perched low on her nose. Her eyes narrowed slightly before she opened the door wider. “Good morning, ma’am,” I said with a smile, stepping in. “Hmph,” she grunted. “You’re…” She glanced at a silver watch that clung to her thin wrist. “You’re three minutes late.” My lips parted slightly in shock. Three minutes? I bowed slightly. “I apologize for my tardiness, ma’am.” She grunted again—maybe this time it meant I was forgiven. She turned at once, expecting me to follow. We passed through a dim passage into a sitting room that looked really archaic. “Start here, young lady” she pointed to a flower vase beside the television. “Don’t break that vase. It costs more than your entire life.” I bit down on my tongue, biting back a retort on impulse. “Understood, ma’am.” I said, instead. She watched me like a hawk as I picked up a rag to begin dusting the vase. “Not like that,” she snappe

Chapter: Chapter 3LilaI swirled my glass filled with champagne, bringing it to my lips. Sweetness coated my tongue as I sipped the drink."Cheers." I said. "To victory." I lifted my glass like one performing a toast, a smirk hanging at the corner of my lips."Poor Isabelle." I shook my head slowly. The scene replayed in my head. The way she gasped when she saw me, wide-eyed. The hideous look on her face when I clung to Jason. I barked a harsh laugh.My gaze turned cold. "It's your turn to feel what you put me through all these years."I lost my parents in a car accident when I was barely five. My aunt and her husband took me in and raised me alongside their only child, Isabelle.We were about the same age, with her, a few months older. She had been the perfect one all her life, blessed with extraordinary beauty. Handsome boys chased her like gold. She got the best grades in school.

Chapter: Chapter 2IsabelleI had been walking for so long, mind blank, my vision blurred with tears. I had no direction in mind but somehow, I found myself in the park. Cold seeped through my buttocks as I collapsed onto a steel bench.My mind reeled with unchecked thoughts but I snapped back to reality at the excited chatter of children playing a few inches away. My eyes glistened as I watched them for a heartbeat, their happiness, a sharp contrast to my emotional turmoil.My mind wandered to the day Jason proposed. It was right here in the park. He knelt, slipping a diamond ring onto my finger and gazing at me with so much passion that I melted. Into his arms. His kiss. His stormy eyes filled with love as he promised forever.Forever. What a cruel joke.My heart shattered into pieces at the memory. My chest felt tight, making it difficult to breathe. I rose too quickly, almost losing my balance, my arms flailing. My cheeks flushed and I looked around but I found no one staring.I started in the direc

Chapter: Chapter 1IsabelleMy heart lurched against my chest as Jason slid a stack of papers across the dining table. As I took hold of it, my hands trembled as I scanned its content."What's this?" I asked, my voice shaky."Exactly what the front cover says." He answered, his tone cold and distant.My breath caught in my throat. "A divorce? How?" "I think it's high time we stopped deceiving ourselves. This…marriage. It's not working anymore." His tone was dismissive."I don't understand, Jay. Where did I go wrong?" My voice came out small. Tears welled in my eyes, threatening to escape."Come on, Issa. It doesn't always have to be about you. Just sign the damn papers, let's get this over with.""You're…you're divorcing me on our anniversary? Our fourth anniversary?"My gaze drifted to the set of plates I'd arranged on the dining table. I had spent hours in the kitchen, preparing appetizing dishes which I plated just right for lunch. The realization that my efforts were all for naught hit me harder th
