Divorce? Never Letting Go! 019 No one touches what's mine
~~Sebastian~~I stare at my mother's grave, unable to say a word.It's been like this for the past months.But I never fail to show up, never fail to just stand, stare and eventually leave.Cancer took her years back, a memory I wish I could erase. The pain I wish I could've taken away from her.She didn't deserve any of that.Not the kind of marriage she had. Not the life she lived.My phone dings in my pocket, cutting through my pocket.I put down the flower. Stare briefly at a fresh one lying there and whirl around.It's Riley.“Hey, you're still coming, no?”I take a sharp exhale and thumb out a response.“Be there, soon.”I pocket my phone and head straight to my Maserati.I reach for my lighter on the console and flick it, open, close…it's a habit I've mastered over the years, a coping mechanism whenever I'm worked up.If it wasn't mom's memorial, I'd rather not be there.By the time I get to the Villa, a few cars are packed in the driveway.An intimate memorial as he's called i
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 018 A night out
~~Meghan~~I type in the digits again.Grandma Ju.My hands hover on the call dial.And then I click dial.My pacing the floor now, listening to the waiting tone. There's so much I want to say, so much to apologize for.“Hello,”I hear her voice and I stilled, unable to say a word.“Hello,” her voice come again.I don't wait. I don't even think twice. I end the call, willing my mind to stay calm.God.I don't know what to do, what to say.I'm just….scared.The beeping of my phone pulls me out of my misery. I stare at the screen, vibrating in my hand.Jade.I run a hand through my hair, tucking a stray strand behind my ear. I inhale, exhale and then I answer the call.“Hey,”There's a pause.“Don't tell me you're not ready,” she shrilled.I blink.Ready?“Lanie, it's my cousin's party,”Shoot.Right. It totally skipped my mind.“I'll be ready,” I say, shuffling to the stairs, and taking it two at a time. “Give me a few minutes.”I end the call.I quickly take a bath, style my hair hast
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 017 All it could've taken
~~Hazel~~I can't tell the route to Mr. X’s house but I can feel it, we ain't heading there.It's taking more time than the last.The driver hasn't said anything, he barely ever talks to me.I'm guessing he's only paid to drive and not talk, fair point.I lean back into the backseat, reaching for my phone.There's a text from Jordan.I hadn't seen it before.‘Do you want to go see a movie together?’I inhale a ragged breath.And quickly thumb out a response.‘Tomorrow? I'm kinda busy tonight’His response comes almost immediately.‘Sure’I stared at it, not sure why.Or maybe I'm lying to myself.If I wasn't stuck trying to birth a baby, maybe Jordan and I might've kicked off.But right now it's just…so complicated.He likes me…yeah, I see the way he looks at me.And…maybe I like him too.The car slows, cutting through my thoughts.I lift my head up only to see a penthouse.The gate opens and the driver pulls into the driveway.Another house.It's…beautiful.My phone dings with a text
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 016 Look who's a millionaire
~~Hazel~~Keon is sleeping on his bed but not Kyle.Not yet.I hold him over my chest, patting his back gently while trying to avoid Tamara's gaze.Melanie tilts her head, shrugging with a look that says ‘I didn't say a word to her’Finally Kyle falls asleep.I lay him down gently and turn to my girls.Tamara points to the door and marches toward it.As soon as we're out, I all but let out.“I swear I was going to tell you.” I blurt out. “I only just found out,”That stops her.She turns to me and crosses her arms.“I'm not mad, I'm just…slightly hurt, can't I be?”My lips twitch.She lifts a finger. “Don't,”I throw a hand up. “I'm sorry, you were busy with the boys. I just didn't want to bring this to you yet,”“You're pregnant Hazel, of course I want to hear every part of it, the first feeling, the morning sicknesses, all of it.”I pause.“I'm not supposed to feel anything, Tammy. This baby isn't even mine theoretically.”Everyone goes silent.“It's just…I'm starting to have this s
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 015 This is not a warning
~~Melanie~~I stand and wait as Mr. Daniel flips through the pages of the report.His gaze lingers on the document.“You did this yourself?” he all but asked.I straighten. “Yes sir.”He furrows his gaze.“Something wrong, sir?” I ask when his eyes doesn't leave the document.Another seconds pass before he laces his fingers together in front of him on the desk.“Not at all. Just thought it's…” he trails off. “That'd be all. Move my next meeting to later today and inform the attendees.”“Alright, I'll do just that sir.” I head for the door but it opens up before I can get to it.Lucy has a tight look when she spots me.She brushes past me with a glare.But I don't react. I head out.She's always in and out of this office and I don't remember her working closely with Mr. Daniel.That's not my problem.There's work to be done.I tap at Jade's desk at noon. “Here, I got you lunch,”Her brows lifts.“You stepped out for lunch?”“What?” I quip back. “I can't buy you lunch?”She chuckles. “I
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 014 Deceit in love
~~Sebastian~~I turn my phone on.And the first notification that comes in it's from Michael Kings, my father.‘It’s your mother's memorial this weekend and Ruthie and I thought to remind you,”I stare at the text for a tad bit long.My chest tightening.You'd think I hate my father, I don't.But I'm angry, so angry it always gets the better of me.His marriage to Ruthie was the problem, still is.And Ruthie always clamouring for acceptance always ticks me off.She's just Dad's wife, not my mother, never will.Riley might've been too young to understand when it happened.But realizing that Dad never loved mom was a hard pill to swallow.It was a marriage of convenience, neither of them were ever truly happy.After mom's demise, he married Ruthie, someone I got to realize was his first love.They've been married for five years, and I've never seen Dad this happy.That was an even bigger blow.Perhaps she isn't the problem, accepting her was.I take a deep breath to get my thoughts toget
