The Papers.

On the other hand, Seraphina was going through hell with her unknown stalker. Calls and texts rushed in more than ever. She'd answer, scream at them, they'll stay silent until she hangs up. At some point, she turned off her phone.

She walked around her new house and checked it out. It was beautiful. Plain white and perfectly lit. The chandelier was silver and gold, the walls had marbles, the bathroom had her name encrusted with bronze. Everything in this house screamed her and she loved it but the only problem was, her husband wasn't in it.

She sat on her stairs and began bawling her eyes out. The weight of everything had finally hit and she was not taking it well. Her meal went cold, the water kept running in the kitchen and bathroom and she left the oven on. She kept thinking about Adrian. She wanted to call and ask how he's doing, if he had eaten and how he's coping with the separation but when she picked up her phone, she received a text from the unknown number. It was an image taken from the flowers in her house. It was the dining room and Adrian was having dinner with his other woman.

“He couldn't wait 24 hours, huh?” She cleaned her eyes “I guess I'm the only one still attached” she sniffled. She had a look in her eyes that screamed determination. She was done or so she thought.

The next day, Seraphina got into her prettiest dress and slapped sunglasses on the outfit. She had styled her hair differently so it had that bounce to it now and she loved it. She admired herself in the mirror for while, just spinning and turning and looking at her curves and her face

“Now, let's get this divorce started!” She grabbed her car keys and went down the stairs. She drove there blasting her favorite music and singing out loud and when she got down, she fixed her make-up and walked into the office only to meet Adrian with his Mistress.

“I’ll just say, this is unnecessary” Seraphina said as she sat down. Vanessa's hands were wrapped around Adrian and he just sat there proudly. There would have been so much chaos if Seraphina gave into the teasing. When the documents were placed in front of them both, Adrian cleared his voice

“Are you sure you want to–” he didn't finish. His eyes seemed to deceive him “Do you not want to read through it?!” He raised his voice slightly. Seraphina paid no attention to him as she signed the documents’ pages hurriedly

“If that's all, I'll be leaving now.” She smiled at the lawyer who bowed back in return. Everyone was cool but Adrian. He was having a mental breakdown.

“Seraphina Vale! I'm speaking to you!” He yelled, pushing Vanessa off him.

“Vale? I'm Seraphina Cole. Have a wonderful Mr. Vale” she turned to walk out but Adrian grabbed her arm

“Do you really want to throw it all away?!” His voice was shaking “all we've built?” urgency and something that sounded like regret lingered in his voice. Seraphina didn't flinch or cry, instead she slapped him into his senses.

“Don't make me get a restraining order.” She said calmly while she looked him up and down “... and you!” She looked at Vanessa “You better leash your dog or he'll run wild and bring pups” she adjusted her glasses and walked out. Adrian's hands remained on his face for a long time, unable to process what had happened. He didn't lose just his wife but he lost his pride and

self-respect.

He looked back at Vanessa who was dusting her body as she stood up. He rushed to her to help her but she shoved him aside. “Don't upset me, Adrian.” and she walked off.

He picked up the pen and signed his part. The lawyer nodded and packed both documents together leaving Adrian alone in the office. He sat in the office, gathering his thoughts and composing himself. When he felt the same leave his body, he walked out of the office a whole different person.
