Back to Break my Dearests Chapter 10
“Ivy: Isn’t your wife in the hospital? And you’re thinking about getting me breakfast? “Taylor: She means nothing to me. You’re my one and only.” I looked up and met Taylor’s gaze. “And you claimed that your heart belonged to me?” Taylor’s face was drained of color. Gasps filled the air. The judge brought down the gravel. “The court rules against the defendant, holding him responsible for the end of the marriage. The evidence is clear. The court hereby grants the divorce and full ownership of the residence at Unit 702, Surmount Complex, to the plaintiff, Abby Davies.“The defendant, Taylor Rogue, is ordered to pay the plaintiff 200,000 dollars in damages for emotional distress. “The plaintiff is awarded half a million of the 640,000 dollars in shared savings, and the remaining 140,000 dollars goes to the defendant. “Finally, all court costs are to be paid by the defendant.” Taylor slumped against his seat. The sun was blinding as I stepped out of the courthouse.

The lead officer glanced at the raw scar on my forehead, then the mess across the floor. “Domestic abuse is a crime too, you know,” he said. I handed the officer a USB drive. “This contains a year’s worth of recordings and chat logs documenting his gaslighting and threats. His moods have been highly volatile lately. I believe he’s a danger to himself and society.”Taylor’s eyes widened. “You have been planning this?” Paying him no heed, I told the cops, “I’m filing for a restraining order. I don’t want him near me or my residence. I’d suggest putting him through a psychiatric evaluation. His behavior is out of the norm.” With Taylor being in a manic, raving state, the lead officer nodded. “We’ll include that in the report.” Three days later, the summons for the psychiatric review arrived. Taylor fought the request tooth and nail, causing quite the scene at the facility. In the end, he was taken away by force. The doctor’s preliminary diagnosis revealed that Taylor exhi

“Ivy’s no daughter of mine! We may be poor, but we raised her to be better. Her mother hasn’t stopped crying… From now on, she doesn’t exist to us.” Her mother wailed off camera. “She told us she bought the bags and clothes with her scholarship money. We had no idea that the money came elsewhere!” The video ended with her father wheezing. “Listen up, Ivy. You’re not part of the family anymore. We are disowning you.” Ivy showed up outside my home in the afternoon. Even with reporters all around, she called out to me, her hair a mess.I stood on the balcony, looking down on her. Ivy looked up at me and fell to her knees. “Abby, please! I made a mistake! I was wrong! Please tell them to stop! My dad is dying—” I simply stared at her dead in the eyes. Turning on my heel, I went back inside and pulled the curtains close. My phone buzzed with a notification from Taylor. “You should see her. She’s at breaking point.” I texted back, “What about you? Why aren’t you with her?”

Taylor’s father reviewed the evidence with trembling hands before letting out a sigh. “We… have no right to defend him.” On their way out, Taylor’s mother looked back at the door. “We owe you an apology, Abby.” I closed the door and rested my back against the wood. Tears didn’t escape my eyes. My mind flew back to my previous life. Taylor’s parents visited me at the hospital when I lost the baby. At the time, they said those exact words. What happened next? Then, they looked the other way when Taylor committed me to a mental ward. I gave in once, and that was all I could allow. That night, the school investigation team called to schedule a meeting with me for tomorrow. Taylor was packing his bags in the bedroom. I stood at the door. “Are you moving out?” He didn’t bother to meet my gaze. “Don’t you want a divorce? I’m moving into the faculty housing.” “To Ivy’s?” He froze. I grinned. “Oh, before I forget, her apartment is paid for with the research funds you

I shut the door, closing off Ivy’s heavy sobs coming from outside. As Taylor made his way to open the door, I uttered icily, “Take one step out, and the headlines tomorrow will be all about a suspended professor sneaking around with his pregnant side piece in the middle of the night.” He froze right there and then. Deep into the night, I received a new e-mail from the private investigator. “I’ve found three of her social media alts. One is a blog of her relationship with Taylor. The earliest entry dates back to last April, titled, ‘Held hands with the professor. His palms were sweaty.’”I texted back, “Draft a timeline of these posts and send them anonymously to the investigation team.” My hand didn’t tremble in the slightest when I hit send. This life, I’d make sure they had nowhere to escape. …My attorney was Lucille Thomas, a tough and fierce specialist in divorce cases. I laid out all the evidence, which included the audio clip, photos, receipts, pregnancy report

Staring at Ivy and Taylor’s paralyzed faces, I added in a whisper, “Playtime’s up.” …By 3.00 AM, the cut audio clip topped the local charts. The hashtag #ProfessorCaughtWithStudent blew up. Under #InjuredWife was a photo of me, my expression calm despite the blood on my forehead. Soon enough, screenshots from surveillance, transcripts of recordings, and photo collages of luxury goods on Ivy’s social media made their rounds on the internet. The online community was quick at digging up history. By dawn, Ivy’s attendance records and academic fails were leaked online. “What kind of struggling student affords three luxury handbags in one semester?” “She takes the wife’s money to flirt with the husband. Ew.” A call from the school’s disciplinary committee came at seven in the morning. Taylor answered the phone, his voice trembling. “Yes… Of course, you have my full cooperation with the investigation.” After the call, he lunged at me with bloodshot eyes. “Happy now?”
