I was in a car accident on my way to my son, Nathan’s piano competition. Ignoring my injuries, I limped to the venue just in time for the awards ceremony. Nathan won the gold medal. With excitement shining in his eyes, he ran toward me. But as I smiled at him, he turned and placed the medal around the neck of my husband’s first love, Janine Beck. My husband of ten years, Christopher Frost, looked at me with irritation. “Look at what you’re wearing! You’re filthy, like a beggar,” he said cruelly. “Don’t come to Nathan’s celebration dinner tonight—he’s embarrassed by you!” I stayed silent and went alone to the hospital to have my injuries checked. Later, I returned to the villa, drenched in the rain, only to find the doors locked against me. I knocked on the door in the pouring rain for the entire night. At dawn, when the first light broke across the sky, I sent Christopher a message: [Let’s get a divorce. As you wish, I will no longer be an eyesore in your lives.]

Leaving Heartbreaks Behind Chapter 8
Christopher's face turned ghostly pale. After a few minutes, he suddenly stood up, his chair toppling over with the force of his movement. Grinding his teeth, he grabbed Nathan’s wrist and said in a low voice, "Let's go. We should leave. Don't come back to disturb your Mom again."For the first time, Nathan lost control in front of me. He struggled against Christopher's grip, then threw himself into my arms."I won’t leave. I want to stay with Mom! You lied to me! Mom isn’t as bad as you said!” he cried."Mom, please don’t abandon me. I’ll eat the meals you make me. I’ll do my homework and I won’t buy those expensive toys anymore."I’m easy to take care of. I promise I won’t trouble you. Please, keep me here."I reached out and pushed him away. He couldn’t stop himself and fell to the ground.His expression of grievance mirrored the times when I would come home, and he’d throw a tantrum, crying and demanding attention from me.But things are different now. I wouldn’t soften

I looked at Christopher. He couldn’t possibly have forgotten that he was the one who had stolen my ability to smile over the years.I didn’t respond. Instead, I turned to retreat to the kitchen.Suddenly, Christopher reached out and grabbed my arm.“Zoey, I’ve already sent Janine away,” he said softly, almost pleading with me.I looked at him coldly but held my tongue. I felt indifferent about where she had gone. It had nothing to do with me.My gaze drifted past his shoulder and landed on the somewhat awkward figure of Nathan standing behind him. It had been a long time since I last saw him. He had lost so much weight.His face, once plump from all the food I had lovingly fed him, now looked hollow and thin.He hesitated before speaking, as if afraid to upset me.“Mom, can you make me a meal?”I didn’t answer, but Sapphire quietly went to set the table.I sighed softly.“Sit down. There’s a menu over there. You can choose what you’d like to eat.”They walked to the t

On the way home from Nathan’s school, I passed by the fast-food restaurant that he had always wanted to eat at, but I had never allowed. On a whim, I decided to stop and buy him a hamburger. Then through the glass window, I saw Christopher sitting with Nathan and Janine. They were eating all the junk food I had always forbidden. I stood outside and listened as Nathan spoke."Miss Janine, my grandmother said that Dad was supposed to marry you but my mom crawled into his bed when he was drunk. Don’t worry, I’ll help you get rid of her."Christopher smiled at him, neither confirming nor denying the words. I wanted to rush in and tell Nathan it wasn’t like that. It was Christopher who had used my love to quash his mother’s wish for him to marry Janine. He said he was still young, that he wasn’t ready to settle down. He did not want to marry either Janine or me. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant with Nathan, I probably wouldn’t have married him either. He had turned a small mi

Nathan looked at me angrily."Mom, is it because of this stupid girl that you don't want me anymore? You have a new child now, so you don't like me anymore, is that it?" he asked, one hand still yanking at Sapphire’s hair. For the first time since his birth, I felt nothing but utter disgust toward him. I raised my hand and slapped him across the face. Anger surged through me, turning my whole face red. "Let go, Nathan! Have you lost your manners?" He had clearly inherited Christopher’s stubbornness. Unfazed by my fury, he stood his ground. I managed to untangle Sapphire from his grip and hid her behind me.But Nathan continued his assault. He charged and slammed into her. Nathan was half a head taller than Sapphire, and the force of the blow sent them crashing to the ground. Sapphire clutched her chest, unable to speak through the pain. In a surge of anger, I slapped him again, this time on the other side of his face. His fair, delicate skin immediately showed s
