After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me A Child She Couldn’t Keep
At six o'clock, she made her first decision.She was done forgiving. Done waiting. Done hoping. Done with Kier Thornwell and his coldness and his cruelty and his other woman and his other baby. Done with the promise she had made to a dying man. Alistair had said she could walk away at one thousand. This was one thousand. And she was walking away.She pulled out her phone. It was almost dead, eight percent battery, but it was enough. Enough for what she needed.She scrolled through her contacts. Past Kier's name. Past Vivienne's. Past the people who were supposed to be her friends but were really just his. She stopped at a name she hadn't called in three years.Harold Wentworth. Her father's lawyer. The man who had known her since she was a little girl.She stared at his name for a long time. Her thumb hovered over the screen.Then she pressed call..At seven o'clock, she made her second decision.It was the hardest decision she had ever made in her entire life. Harder than leaving hom
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me From Wife to Stranger
She found a diner somewhere in the East Village. A twenty four hour place with fluorescent lights that buzzed and flickered and a sign out front that was missing half its letters. The windows were streaked with grime. The air inside smelled like old coffee and stale cigarettes even though smoking inside had been illegal for years.A man behind the counter looked up from his phone when she walked in. He had a tired face and tired eyes and he didn't ask any questions. He just pointed to a booth in the corner and said "sit wherever."She slid into the booth. It was cracked red vinyl with a rip in the seat that someone had tried to fix with duct tape. She ordered tea because she needed something to do with her hands. When it came, she wrapped her fingers around the warm mug and stared at the steam rising up and tried very very hard not to think.But thinking came anyway. It always does when you try not to.She sat there for hours. The clock on the wall ticked from three to four to five. T
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me No More Forgiveness
Celestine walked for what felt like hours but was probably only about twenty minutes.She didn't know where she was going. She just walked. One foot in front of the other. Her old green coat was doing its best but it was not winning against the cold February air that seemed to cut right through the fabric and straight into her bones.She walked past dark storefronts with their grates pulled down. Past street lamps casting orange puddles of light on the wet pavement. Past a group of drunk people stumbling out of a bar, laughing and shoving each other, completely unaware that Celestine Valancourt's entire world had just collapsed into a million tiny pieces.She wondered what they would think if she told them. If she stopped one of them and said excuse me, I just found out my husband has been cheating on me for two years and his mistress is pregnant and I'm pregnant too and I don't know what to do. They would probably think she was crazy. They would probably cross the street to get away
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Goodbye, Kier
"Say something," he said.She almost laughed. Say something. He wanted her to say something. After everything. After two years of lies. After another woman's baby. After she stood in the doorway and heard him say she didn't deserve kindness."What do you want me to say?" she whispered."I don't know. Something."She looked at him. The sharp jaw. The dark eyes. The mouth that had kissed her goodnight and kissed another woman good morning."I hope she's worth it," she said.He blinked. Something flickered across his face. Annoyance, maybe. Or guilt. She couldn't tell. She didn't care."She is," he said.The words hit her like a slap.She nodded slowly. Okay. Fine. She didn't need to hear anything else.She turned and walked away.**She went to the bedroom. Her legs were shaking. Her hands were shaking. Everything was shaking.She opened the closet. Grabbed her old green coat. The one she'd had since college. The one he always told her to throw away because it was ratty and old. She gr
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Thousandth Time
She didn't know how long she stood there. A minute. Maybe five. Maybe ten. Time had stopped making sense.Kier's voice came again and more softer now. Wrapping up the call."I love you too. I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Yeah. Goodnight, Sable."He hung up.The apartment went quiet.Celestine stood in the doorway. She wasn't hiding anymore. She was just... there. Frozen. Her hand on her stomach. Her face wet with tears she didn't even remember crying. Her whole body shaking like she was standing in a blizzard.She thought about Alistair. His father. The man who made her promise.Forgive him one thousand times. And if you get to that number and he still hasn't changed, you can walk away with my blessing.This was the thousandth thing.The thousandth time she would have to forgive if she wanted to keep her promise.But she couldn't.She couldn't.She searched inside herself for that muscle she had used nine hundred and ninety nine times before. The one that let her swallow her pride
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Not Worth Kindness
Kier came home around two in the morning.Celestine woke up to the sound of his voice. Not because he was loud but because she was always listening for him. Even in her sleep. Even after all the nights he didn't come home. Her body had learned to wait for him. Her ears had learned to pick out his footsteps in the hallway, his keys in the lock, his voice in the dark.She lay still in the bed, her hand on her stomach, her heart doing that stupid hopeful thing it always did. He was home. He was here. Maybe tonight, after she told him about the baby, everything would change.But then she realized he wasn't alone.He was on the phone. And he was in the living room. And he didn't know she was awake.She sat up slowly. Her feet touched the cold floor. The marble was freezing under her toes. She was still wearing the white dress from dinner. She hadn't changed. She had fallen asleep waiting for him, curled on top of the covers, her phone still in her hand.She walked to the bedroom door. The
