After The Divorce Who I Am Kiding
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. I grabbed my jacket and walked out of the apartment into the elevator.While driving, I was singing Sabrina Carpenter's “ Espreso” at the top of my lungs, and I didn't even realize that I was taking the red lights until it was too late. “ Ops. “ I looked in the mirror to see if there were cops following me, but I was in the clear. 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. I need to send them the finished work this weekend. Once I walked into my office, I wanted to walk right back out because it looked like Jacob had turned

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 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'
Last Updated : 2025-04-02After The Divorce Thought He Would Be Happy
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.

That's okay because it gives me time to control my nerves about seeing her for the last time.Twenty minutes later, she showed up looking tired and overworked,

Taking my phone out of my pocket I was ready to call the police when I saw my my parents, my sister Hazel and Lisa in my kitchen having breakfast. “ What the hell are you guys doing?” I ask them putting the phone back in my pocket. “ What does it look like we are doing?” My sister Hazel asks with no remorse in her eyes. “ I'll like for you guys to leave, I don't care what you do with the food, take it or throw it away, I don't care I need you guys out of my house” I couldn't stress enough how I pissed off

After The Divorce Consequences
Jacob I still couldn't get what had happened at my parents anniversary party out of my head, the way they acted was shocking to me that I blame myself for not seeing their true selves years ago and letting them cloud my judgment toward my marriage. When I got to the party after my chat with my brother I knew something was going on when my mother insisted that I go up with them to cut the cake, when it as nothing to do with me, I didn't plan to let them about me knowing the truth that night but they force my hand. I whisper to my mom “ If you force me to go up that stage, my wedding is not what I'm going to announce “ knowing that they value their imagine in front of their friends and our family member s I knew she would let me say anything, looking confused I made clear for her “ I will let them know how you cause your daughter-in-law to miscarry your grandchild” My words click and I wish that I had my phone out so I could take a picture of the look of horror that was on he
After The Divorce Unexpected but Expected
Arianna “We shouldn't do this,” I say between kisses, it was more to myself than to him, and his response was to kiss me so softly that I could lose myself, with his fingers roaming down my body, his lips followed them, leaving kisses everywhere that they could reach. While my hard nipples stood for attention, without missing a bit he sucks the left one into his mouth, butting while playing with the other. His action had my back arch of the bed, moan I pulled on his hair to get his attention “ Jacob, I need you” I said barely in a whisper, he didn't give any indication that he heard me instead he continue his journey down my body, until he gets between my legs, spreading them wide before he pushes a finger inside of me sending electroshock to my lower belly and down to my toes, he repeat the move again and again while he press his thumb making lazy circle on my cl*t, my back arch of the bed, I was so close and ready. When a beep sound caught my attention on the side of the bed, I
After The Divorce The Thruth
Jacob I can see the wheels turning in her head after I told her the truth about what I wanted, I mean she asked and im not one to lie, especially about my own feelings for her. My only regret was that I didn't take the time to get to know her or find out the truth about everything that I heard about her, being that everything came from my mother and sister that should've been my first clue to do a deeper investigation into their claim. Grabbing her chin in my hand I turn her head towards me “ Stop overthinking, how about baby step?” keeping hopes up knowing that she might reject me at in second. Leaning forward she goes “ Baby step what? If I recall you have a fiance” She reminded me of the unfortunate fate that stuck on me with no chance of letting go. Closing the small distance between us, I trace her lips with my finger making her grasp, tilting my head a little I gave her a soft kiss, thinking she might push me away and when she didn't I went again this time I bit her mak
After The Divorce Why is This So Hard?
Arianna Well, I would say the days after my brother dropped the news weren't the best for me, I kept replaying his words over and over in my head trying to make sense of them but no matter how I looked at it, nothing made sense in my head. I know one thing about my brother he won't lie about something so big, even with if I didn't give him money he wouldn't ever make up something like that. “ Hey, did you get the sample from the factory?” Lucia popped her head in the door to my room. Staring at her it took a moment for me to hear what she said “ Yeah, I did and I spoke to them about fixing the little mistake, so we should get them on time” “ Thanks, babe, “ She was about to leave but stopped “ Are you okay? “ I know why she is asking because after my brother left the house she saw me fall apart. “Yeah, im fine don't worry” She didn't look like she believed me, I plastered a smile on my face to show her that I was all right, I am fine it was just a lot to digest all at o
