LOGIN"Sign the divorce, Eliana. And I will add two zeros to the settlement check." My husband of two years, Calvin Franco said as he threw the divorce papers in front of me as I sat flipping through a magazine. Little did he know, I was the heiress of a multi-billion-dollar company. I make more than he has ever made in his life, in just one week. And when he finds out, he will surely regret looking down on me. The only thing that worried me most was my best Friend Brooks finding out. I had made a bet with him before I married Calvin, and if Brooks finds out I'm getting a divorce from Calvin, it means only one thing- Calvin's career is about to be abolished.
View MoreEliana's POVBrooks didn't say another word.He sat quietly in the car beside me, listening as I vented my anger.When I was finally done, exhausted, and feeling utterly drained, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, clenched his jaw, and let out a sigh."What do you plan on doing? I mean, do you plan on divorcing him, as you said, or... are you going to forgive him for this again?" he asked, making me look up."Of course I am. I am done, Brooks. I've been trying my hardest to look the other way, to make things work, to catch his attention and do things right, be the stupid submissive wife, but I just... can't!""I understand. You know I'm here for you, right, doll? I won't leave you," he says, making my heart warm a little."Brooks... I'm sorry I kept you up. I know you have a plane to catch, and I shouldn't have kept you away for so long, I just-""Stop it. You're my best friend, Ellie. The plane can wait. Besides, Grandma would be mad if she found out I took off and left you like
Ellie's POVI stumbled my way inside my home. The double doors seemed heavier tonight. Or perhaps it's just that I am far too tired, too drunk, and feeling my body heavy from the long night of drinking.I grunted, as I leaned closer against the door and pushed it open.One of the younger house maids, Daniela, rushed over, holding my hand as she saw me dragging my feet inside."My lady. You're finally home." She says as she helps me to the couch, and takes my purse, placing it on the coffee table next to the sofa."Daniela, my feet are aching. I think I drank a little too much." I said as I slumped my body, closing my eyes as I grabbed one of the small pillows and placed it under my head.Daniela chuckles, grabbing one of the fleece throws, placing it over me, and sighing."I'm just glad you're home safe, ma'am. By the way-" she says, changing her tone to a bit of concern as she looks towards the stairs."Ma'am... is... everything alright between you and... Mr. Calvin?" she asks, maki
Eliana's POV So I let loose. For the first time in a very... very long time, I allowed myself to pàrty with my friends.I partied all night, taking a drink now and then. Not too much!Brooks wouldn't let me. He was acting like the protective big brother– as always!Either way, I. Let. Loose!For the first time in a long time, I felt like dancing and partying away as if there was no tomorrow. But don't worry– Brooks stayed by my side the entire night, making sure I didn't do anything bizarre or utterly stupid to make me regret it later. It reminded me of my high school years when he and I would attend school dances together.I never wanted to attend with any other boy but him. Not because any other guy didn't ask– plenty of guys in town asked me to be their date, but I always turned them down.As a teenager... I only had eyes for Brooks, even though I knew we could never be.As always– Brooks scared away guys who approached me. He was still the protective man type, just like when w
Eliana's POV I glanced at Brooks. His eyes were a mixture of worry and anger. What am I supposed to say? Yeah, you were right Brooks, I messed up. I picked the wrong guy! I should have listened! Sigh— but it wasn't that easy. Deep down, whether I wanted to admit it or not... Calvin's betrayal, his affair, and the broken promise we made at the altar still hurt. And it hurt deeply. I only pretended to be strong and put on a false mask of being okay. And with that thought... it finally hit me again. The feeling of loneliness. The feeling of betrayal. All the hurt, the resentment, and anger that had been building inside of me since the first sign of his affair finally caught up. I felt the bitter and painful knot building in my throat. My chest is tightening with the sense of having failed to keep the man I loved... to keep his interest in me. My tears stung as they welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. Brooks' eyes went from an angry scowl to worry. He loosened h
