Dear Wife, I refuse to divorce you!

The house was quiet, the scent of roses lingering in the air and the candlelight casting a soft glow in the living room just like she wanted. The maids had done a wonderful job with the décoration. Everything was perfect just as she had planned. Today marked another year of her marriage with the love of her life, Daniel Davids. The man she believed would be her forever. In her hands was a bottle of vintage wine which was a symbol of love, trust, and commitment. She had rushed home early, excited to surprise him. She had texted earlier to ask when he would be returning but he let her know that he would be running late due to some meetings but, Renee didn’t complain. She was in fact happy that she had enough time to prepare for their anniversary dinner. She made her way to the bedroom door which was slightly opened, smiling from ear to ear but as she neared it, her face fell and her knees buckled. Her husband, Daniel was naked, his clothes scattered on the ground as he thrusted int

The morning sun crept through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room but it was the opposite for Renee. There was no warmth left in her heart and all that was left was resentment and the thirst for revenge. She lay for an extra minute on the bed knowing that today was the start of her reclaiming her life and ending her relationship with Daniel. She slid out of bed and freshed up quickly. The weight and pain that pressed on her chest the night before had been replaced by something sharper- the need to erase Daniel from her life. When she arrived downstairs, she found him sitting at the dining table with coffee in one hand and his phone in another. Noticing her presence, he glanced up with the same sweet smile. He stood up and made his way to her before wrapping his arm around her. “Good morning, Babe.” He greeted them in a smooth voice and leaned in to kiss her lips but she swerved lightly. “Morning.” Her reply was cold and unusual. Daniel found himself wondering wh

LATER THAT DAY Daniel walked into the house late at night after having dinner with Chloe at a hotel. He was ready for Renee’s questioning about why he was late. His excuse of course was always that he had a business dinner and she believed him… every time As he kicked the door shut, he noticed a sudden quietness. Usually, Renee would be in the kitchen heating his meal after hearing his car in the driveway or, she would be seated in the living room, waiting for him. This time, there was no sound from the kitchen and there was no one in the living room. Frowning, he dropped his keys on the glass table and loosened his tie. “Renee?” He called out, walking towards the kitchen. “Honey, I’m home.” He announced. There was no answer. ‘Is she still mad about yesterday?’ He scoffed, chuckling under his breath. He rolled his eyes and climbed the stairs, making his way to the bedroom. “Come on, Renee. You’re too mature for this. Don’t tell me you’re still making a fuss about that even afte

The morning light filtered into the room through the light curtains, hitting Renee’s head. She blinked, hoping to open her eyes but was immediately hit with a stabbing headache that felt like she was being pricked with a thousand needles. With a groan, she blinked again- slowly this time and waited for her eyes to adjust to the light. When she did, a frown crept onto her face as she looked around the unfamiliar room. How did she end up here? She looked around the bed and saw her clothes lying unbothered on the ground. That was when her eyes dropped to her body and a sharp gasp left her immediately. “Oh my God!” She whispered, fiddling with the sheets. She was naked in an unfamiliar room all by herself! She shot up, clutching the sheets against her bare chest as her heart thundered against her ribs. Racking her brain as if her life depended on it, Renee tried to remember how she ended up in a strange room. The last thing she remembered was saying hello to a stranger minutes aft

Daniel sat in his mini wine bar, a bottle of whiskey in hand and his phone in the other. He had been dialing Renee’s number nonstop with the hope that she would suddenly pick up even though he knew the chances were slim as he had been blocked. “Fuck.” He hissed, gripping his phone tightly out of frustration, and his hands The door soon opened with a bang and Daniel looked up from his drink just in time to see Chloe storm into the bar with a twisted face. “Wow, Daniel. Wow! Things are getting worse yet you have the time to drink.” She clapped mockingly. “This here…this is why Renee left you. You’re completely useless!” She fired. Daniel hissed, having had enough of her tantrums. “Don’t walk into my house and start yelling like a mad woman. What do you want?” He asked nonchalantly and took another gulp from his bottle. Chloe tapped her feet impatiently, her body shaking. “Are you aware that Renee is gone?” He paused. “What are you talking about? She’s staying in a hotel.
