VICTORIA ~

“Calm down, Victoria,” Brandon snapped, completely unfazed by my outburst.

The way he said it, as if I were the problem, as if I were overreacting, sent anger rushing through my veins.

“You must be very stupid, Brandon,” I fired back without hesitation, my voice sharp, trembling with anger I could no longer contain.

“I should calm down while you ruin my life?”

There was a pause on the line, and then he let out a low, mocking chuckle. The sound crawled under my skin. He wasn’t just ca

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    25: Furlough Request

    VICTORIA ~It was exactly five o'clock when I left my boss' office after speaking with him about taking some time off from work to deal with the issues happening around me.Thankfully, he had listened.Not only had he listened, but he had also been surprisingly understanding. After hearing me out, he granted me a two-week furlough and advised me to focus on putting my life back together before worrying about work.As I walked through the building, heading towards the parking lot, other colleagues joined the previous ones in asking me what the issue was."Victoria, are you okay?""Is something wrong?""You don't seem like yourself today."Their concern was genuine, and under different circumstances, I might have appreciated it. However, I was not ready to explain anything."I'm fine. I'm just not in a good mood today." I told them even though there are blaring evidence it was a lie. A terrible lie.Nothing about me was fine.I was saying those words because it was an easier answer to g

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    24: Uncle Philip Is My Only Daddy

    BRANDON ~ At Manhattan City, I stepped out of the airport with a weight in my chest that made every breath feel heavier than the last. My grip on Liam’s small wrist was firm, too firm, as if someone were dragging him with me. I couldn’t bring myself to loosen it. It was the only thing grounding me at that moment, the only proof that I hadn’t already lost everything. The airplane authorities had denied me boarding. "We're sorry, sir, but you can't travel with this kid. The mother has to be with him." The words still echoed in my mind. It was sharp and humiliating. They hadn’t even tried to hide their suspicion. They insinuated I was attempting to leave the country with another person's child. I had explained all I could, but they refused. They had insisted, calmly but firmly, that the child’s mother had to be present. They didn't even mind the resemblance we shared. No amount of explanation, persuasion, or carefully crafted lies had changed their stance. To make matter

The sound crawled under my skin. He wasn’t just calm; he was enjoying this.“Speak!” I yelled, gripping the phone so tightly that my fingers ached. “Where did you keep my son?”Another chuckle. This time it was louder and more deliberate.I could picture him perfectly, leaning back somewhere, relaxed, probably smiling to himself while I stood here, unraveling. That is usually his posture whenever he's tormenting an opposition.“Well, no worries,” he said at last, dragging out his words like he had all the time in the world. “Our son is fine.”A

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    22: Liam Is Missing

    VICTORIA ~ “How time flies.” I murmured under my breath, my thumb gently swiping across the screen of my phone. A soft smile tugged at my lips as I stared at Liam’s pictures. Those tiny hands, chubby cheeks, and that innocent smile he used to give when he didn’t even understand the world yet. "Back then, he could barely sit up on his own, but now he’s five already.” I whispered, my chest tightening slightly. Liam is five years old but so brilliant, full of energy. Literally, he's too smart for his own good. Life had moved so fast it almost felt unfair. Benita had already gone back to Manhattan after her visit. A visit I still couldn’t forget. And Philip… I sighed, locking my phone and leaning back in my chair. “He’s not giving up, is he?” I said quietly to myself. Philip had become a constant in our lives. Always showing up, always helping. In fact, he's always there for me and Liam. To the point where people in the neighborhood had already started assuming he was

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    21: Regrets

    BRANDON ~ Watching Elese and the strange man openly express their love to each other made me nearly confront them out of jealousy. I felt jealous even though my heart doesn't belong to her anymore, but because she had never been this feminine and romantic towards me even when we were secretly dating not to mention now we're married. The man reached across the table, his fingers brushing hers. Elese didn’t pull away. She smiled instead, wide and genuine, the kind of smile that made my stomach turn violently. My first instinct was to walk over. My feet shifted forward, one step, then another, my pulse roaring in my ears, drowning out the restaurant noise. I imagined myself standing at their table and imagined the look on Elese’s face when she realized I had seen everything. Shock. Fear. Guilt. Or worse, nothing at all. “What the hell is this, Elese?” I rehearsed silently. “Is this what you do now?” The man said something that made her laugh again, and I froze, snapping

  • I Need You Ex-wife!    20: Someone Is After My Life

    BRANDON ~ I was in my room meditating. Just when I thought I had found a solution to my problem, it turned out there's no escape route. The threat from Elese after I initiated that divorce had made me become so calm. I was literally traumatized knowing that there's nothing else I can do about it. It's either I continue with the union for my peace of mind and also get Victoria back, or I expose my true self to the world, which would cost me even more of my mental health. I mean, how can I stand in the spotlight when they have known about my darkest secrets and desires? I exhaled a sigh of frustration and tried to shrug off the thoughts in my head. I needed to concentrate on work. At about twelve o'clock p.m., I received a call from Barrister Frank, and then I knew he must be calling concerning the divorce proceedings. Like he said, we need to come to the court in order to get our divorce certificates. "He must be worried I hadn't called him since then," I mumbled, runn

    VICTORIA ~ "Wow, I can't believe you went through all of that with Brandon," I exclaimed in disbelief after hearing Benita's story. She had finally made it to Asheville City. When she arrived at my place yesterday, it was already night due to her flight being delayed in Manhattan. Because of this

    BRANDON ~ I left Elese's house at six o'clock p.m. for Greyson Resort, where I stopped over to cool off my mind first. With the way I was feeling, I might not be able to drive home safely because I wouldn't concentrate fully on the road. My mind would linger on the i

    BRANDON ~If someone had told me earlier that Victoria would make such a bold move, I wouldn't have believed it at all.This was because Victoria had devoted most of her years to me. I was her first love, and she loved me deeply.Although I don't want to sever ties with Elese, I never wanted a divo

    VICTORIA~ "What is happening, Victoria? Has it come to this?" He asked dumbfoundedly, mouth agape, his eyes darting between me and Mr. Wilson. A smirk crept across my lips as I watched him in shock. "Are you surprised?" I chuckled slightly and sighed. "Well, don't be. It is what it is, Brand
