Head held high

Nevaeh's pov

As I stepped into my home with my husband who had been gone for business for six months and got back a week ago and we spent a good two days together before he had to leave again. I step in to hear voices in the living room I walk in to find him with his secretary on the couch talking and seeing a few files and papers as I was about to pass and go to the kitchen to prepare juice and cake that I baked yesterday cause he did inform me he'll be back today but I thought maybe he'll be late but I guess not. I put everything in a tray and move to the living room and put the food in front of them getting to leave them to business but he grabs my arm.

"Hey Neeva can you take a seat we would like to talk to you" he said I was confused with the 'we' but I just nodded and sat in front of them as they were sitting next to each other. " So Amber and I have been meaning to tell you that we need....... Well I need a divorce from you." He said to me take Amber's hand in his I look between them and I feel my hurt drop and shatter to a million pieces I composed myself and looked them both in the eyes "Why?" I said.

I saw him sigh and looked back at me again " Because we have been drifting apart for the past year now........... Didn't you notice me spending less time here with you I've been gone for six months and it didn't bother you." He said now I understood all the late nights going for months at a time to do business he never wanted me to go with him for the two years we've been he never once asked if I wanted to go with so what about last week the night we spent together. Throughout our marriage I have done everything he asked and now he is holding her hand and saying he wants a divorce???

"But you were working and you said you didn't want me to come with you because then I would have to leave work for six months and you didn't want that. So all that was a lie so you can be with her????" I said and looked him directly in the eyes waiting for him to say something anything he looked down a bit composed himself and looked back at me.

"Look I didn't want to hurt you but this past year I stopped loving you not that I wanted to but I realized never did love you but I lusted after what I couldn't get and that was you but I love Amber in a way I never felt with you." He said a tear slipped from my right eye and I quickly wipped it away I felt as if I was dying and I said the first thing that came to mind "So you are leaving me for this slut of a home wrecker what is wrong with you going for a slut and leave a decent person?!!!!" I said he looked so angry right now but what he said next crushed me.

"First of all she is not a slut or any word you think of naming her, second I don't want you talking about the mother of my child like that and lastly she is no home wrecker when their is no home to wreck maybe if you agreed for us to start a family like I wanted we wouldn't be in this position right now." He said. He knew I wanted kids but after my first miscarriage I was scared to try again and now because he couldn't wait for me he decided to start a family without me he'll be a father without me. Am I willing to fight him about this and hurt an innocent child that they are having from the perfect family they deserve. I looked at Amber and I saw her hand on her stomach and I saw the way he pulled her to him when he noticed me looking at her stomach as if he was ready to protect her from me, the same way he acted when I was pregnant. I got taken out of my thoughts by a feminine voice.

"Look I know this must be hard for you but we fell in love we never meant to hurt you but we need you to sign the papers so we can get married and raise this child in a proper home." She said. A few tears slipped out, they didn't mean to hurt me??? But they did more than hurt me they broke me I didn't deserve this I have tried to be the best wife, best friend to my husband, and whatever he needed but apparently he didn't need me but just because I couldn't give him a baby and someone else could he replaced me as if I didn't matter. So I just nodded my head. Took the papers from them read through everything and saw his only giving me $200k from the two years we've been married and yet I didn't care he can keep his millions I didn't marry him for money anyways. I took the pen and drew a line over it and wrote I don't want the money and signed and gave it back to him he opened it and read through it I saw him frown he stood up went to his home office and I just sat there thinking what just happened he came back gave me another copy of the divorce papers as if he just reprinted and gave me the new copy I looked through it again and saw I get nothing except all that I came with and bought myself and I quickly signed before I exploded I stood up went to our........no his room and Amber's packed all that was mine and met them at the front door waiting, he told me the divorce will be finalized in six weeks. That day I took of my wedding ring and handed it to Amber and I walked out broken but with my head held high and proud of myself for being strong I put my things in my range rover and drove of.
