After The Divorce Real or Fake
Jacob For the past three days, I've been beating myself up for the mistakes I made during Aiden’s welcome-home party, and I still can't figure out how in the hell I got into bed with Lisa. The guys say she wasn't in the house when they dropped me off, and when I went to check my security camera, that part of the night was mysteriously gone. I had to send the footage to the IT department to see if anyone could retrieve it. To make matters even worse Arianna send me a picture of Lisa and I in bed the morning after while I was trying wrapping my mind around what happened, the only thing I know for sure is that her and I did not have sex, I know I would remember something like and even if I don't my sheets would've had evidence. Still, the sheets were the same as when I put them that morning before I left for work. My parents have been calling for the past two days, and I know why. They heard about what happened, and they want to prolong the wedding, and that's not going to happen. I

Arianna Checking myself in the mirror one last time to make sure that nothing was out of place and applying a little more red lipstick a couple of months into our marriage, I discovered that red was his favorite color. Tonight I'm wearing it to say goodbye to the man and the color. Going downstairs, the smell of the food hits my nose and makes my mouth watery; I spend half of the day preparing for tonight’s dinner cause I want everything to go softly. Checking my watch, I see that he should've been here already, if Jacob isn’t anything but punctual that he is, which is weird that he is not here yet, picking up the phone to give him a call when suddenly I heard the door open for him to walk in “What's all this? Was the first word that came out of his mouth, letting it roll off my shoulder. “It's our anniversary dinner, what do you think?” I told him while I approached him with a glass of wine, forcing a smile on my face. “ Do we have to indulge in this nonsense every year?” he

Jacob Divorce? Divorce? I kept repeating in my head that I couldn't bring myself to believe what I was hearing. No, there was no way that she would want to walk away from this glamorous life that she had wanted from the beginning. Shaking my head, I followed her downstairs to find out what her end game was because I couldn’t believe that woman would want a divorce. “ What’s the game, Arianna? Is it money you want?” I found myself asking her because I was fighting the urge to come to terms with what was on these pieces of paper. With her back towards me, she said, “ I don’t want your money; all I need is a divorce.”, she looked over her shoulder at me and said, “Is that so hard to believe? That I just need a divorce?” she asked me with a look of disbelief on her face. I don’t want to admit it but yes, it is hard to believe that she just wants a clean divorce I can’t wrap my head around what she is saying because this woman standing in front of me is cunning and vicious. I can'

Arianna I thought he would jump at this chance to sign the paper and get it over with, but now the man seems to be dragging this thing along. It's been four days since I've been calling and texting him to find out when he is going to sign the paper so I can move on. The paper doesn't stop me from doing my thing, but I want to know that I put that part of my life behind me and leave that life behind me. Divorce wasn't my first option, but when that low down of a woman came to me to glow about being in a relationship with my husband, that was the end for me. I know the way that I force myself into the Milan family, in their eyes, I deceive them, and that's okay because I was in a moment of distress, and Jacob was the only one that could help me at the time, to say I'm not ashamed of my decision would be a lie because every night I lay next to him, I would think if I made the right decision. My best friend Lucia walked into the room and she held a bag that I'm sure had some drin

Jacob He got home for the first time since the night he got those divorce papers from Arianna; he kept himself busy with work so he didn't have to think about the documents in his drawer, waiting for him to sign and end his marriage. A marriage that he despised so much, shaking his head; no, not the marriage but the woman that I called my wife; my feelings towards her were very, very hostile to the point where I could call it hate; that’s the reason why I can’t understand why I am having second guess my decision to sign those papers and set myself free. Who wouldn't jump at a chance like that? The woman I don't even like wants a clean divorce; letting out a dry laugh, I pick up the bottle of whiskey and make my way up to the main bedroom; while unbuttoning my shirt, I take a shot of the brown liquor, letting the burn comforting me in the darkness of the room cause there is no way that I'm feeling sad over her no being here, nope that can’t be there must be another reason why

AriannaRushed to my car with no thoughts running through my head, no, that's not right, I have a thought, how in the hell did I let a simple lunch get to that point? Ugh, girl, you need to get a handle on yourself because there is no way you can go back to that man, no matter how good this kiss was, you can't fall for him, not again, yeah, not again. I kept telling myself, well, driving back to Lucia’s apartment, at least I did start to believe my lies until I got into the apartment and stared at myself in the mirror to see the evidence of that kiss on my lips, knowing I was done for. Sliding down on the floor with my back against it, I thought, damn, when did I lose control of the situation, a little voice said, “Did you ever have a handle on the situation?” getting off the floor, I looked at myself and the mirror and say “ yes I did, I sure did and I will get back in control” pointing to myself with motivation enough I went back in the kitchen to eat the lunch, there's no reaso

JacobWho knows that I would've said something like that to her on the phone, after last week I decided it's time to let her go if that's what she wants, that's what she would get. There's no need for me to push for something that isn't meant to be, you know, I came to terms with my feelings for her right after that I give her that kiss I knew that my old feelings for her were coming back, I also knew that she won’t give me a second chance, not just because of the way I was towards her but my family won't make it easy for me. Tonight, I'm here to give her the papers—bittersweet, but it's what should be done. I chose to go to Logan’s restaurant, Bestia, because after we finished, I wanted to have a good drink to celebrate my broken marriage.

After all the back and forth with Jacob suddenly ended, who would’ve thought things were that easy? Lying on the bed, I felt that Lucia and I deserved a night out to drink and dance the night away. I've been slaving away at my job since I got it, and I need some girls' time.Swinging my legs off the bed, I went to get ready so I could get to the office before that woman could make an appearance, im not the one to judge, but for the past few days, I've been asking how in the world did this woman got her job or even a promotion for that matter. She does nothing but sits in her office with her legs up on the desk and bossing everyone else around; I started to think that she must have been the boss's daughter or something because there is no way someone lik

Just like today, I've been working since the moment that I walked into the office, I haven't even sat down to take a break. After checking the warehouse I saw that we were missing the fabrics for the design that we need for the shot of our next collections. I send a text Lucia letting her know that I was going to the fabric store not too far from the company, I was only there for a few minutes before Parker Sawyer showed his face next to me. “ What do you want?” I ask him not sparing him a glace. “ I will tell you who your parents are if you help me get the company out of trouble” He got the nerves to say. “ How do you expect me to help you?” I ask him still not looking at him because I don't have it in me to waste time in this man. “ Marry your ex-boyfriend, he pro

All they hear is their voices and their reasons and choices as to why they do what they do. I've concluded that I need to do something big to get their attention, so they could know im serious and not playing around. “ We need to redo the shot.” Logan and Aiden walk into the office, looking like they are here to make my headache even worse. Not looking up or stopping the robbing on the side of my head, “ Why?” He stared placing pictures in front of me on the desk, I look at the pictures I saw that some od them didn't come out right, they were Blury, others look like the model wasn't even in the picture. “ What the hell, Logan?” I finally looked up at them. “ I know, I don't know what happened.

Nothing I came up with makes sense and the fact that I don't know who my parents are makes it even more sad, I lived half of my life believing that the Sawyers were my family, yeah They were not the safest or lovest family I was always thankful that they put a roof over my head. Only for me to find out later that it was all a lie, it was all for their benefit, did They have to go that far? “ Ugh, I've been waiting for this private investigator to give me so good news all week and all he got is im still looking” I say in frustration, throwing the phone across the room the piece of shit is useless, can't tell me who I am? Or where I came from?I've been staring at that ceiling for what feels like hours when it's only been a few minutes, I don't know what I was hoping for, maybe for some answers to my problems, but no chance of that happening.

After The Divorce What Now?
Jacob“ looking like you want to be anywhere but here?” The question came from me; I turned to see Aiden walking toward me.“ You are right. I would rather be at home in my bed than here in this early morning,” I say to him. “ That's the perk of being a Boss.” He took donuts from the box in front of me. “Logan could have handled all this without me involved.” He just wants me to suffer with him. “Of course, we all know he can; if he weren't, he would have hired him.” He throws at me. Laughing, “I'm glad you're back, man,” I told him the group wasn't complete without him.“It's good to be back, im still jetlag and all, things might be slow on my end,” He says. Waving him off, “Oh, don't worry about it; nothing interesting is happening around here.”“ Not what I heard,” he says, making me raise my brow at him. “ Well, it sounds like you've got a woman problem, and if the wedding invitation were any indication,” Of course, he knows what has been going on, I was shocked that he even

Arianna“ Today is going to be a good day, no one is going to mess that up,” I was giving myself a pep talk in the mirror, feeling satisfied with my outfits and makeup.

Pulling into the parking lot of our office, I felt more excited today because we are getting the finishing products for our jewelry spring collection. The models should be coming tomorrow for rehearsal. I was thinking about what I would be getting for breakfast when I opened my email to see that the Millian company was asking for my work.
