“Miss, are you sure about this?” The doctor stared deeply into my eyes hoping to see if I was joking or would change my mind.

“Yes, I haven't been as sure as I am now.” My voice came out steadier than I expected.

She set her pen down slowly.

“Mrs Whitmore” she folded her hands.

“You don't need to decide today. It's only 3 weeks,” She paused. “ Your uterine lining shows signs of significant weakness. The fact that this pregnancy succeeded— ." She exhaled.

“—Is frankly a miracle. There's no guarantee your body will allow this again”.Her voice dropped low.

“This may be your only chance.”

The words shot a pain through my chest. With tight trembling hands I responded, “No qualms, I don't intend on giving birth anyway” I interjected. Especially not for a man like him.

She studied me for a moment and nodded in defeat.

“Okay, I will prepare you for the necessary procedures.” She confirmed and glanced back at the monitor.

“You'll need a minimum of three days to recover. I suggest you plan on staying here for those few days “

“Noted.”

My appointment for the abortion was scheduled and that was the first part of it.

I gathered my bag, thanked the doctor and got up ready to leave. But paused to look over the appointment card slipped into my hand.

A frown settled on my face. The earlier the better.

“Erm doctor, I'm sorry but can't you move this date forward?” I paused as I explained further cause the look on her face was more of confusion . “I do have an engagement on that day, I'd rather I finish and recover fast before it happens. “

She looked up, and for a second, something flashed across her face. Was it pity ?

“Alright Miss, I can shift it to two days from today.”

“That'll be fine with me,” I managed a small nod. “Thank you” was my last word before I left her office as the door clicked shut behind me.

I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding.

The child isn't at fault. A part of me still felt sad.

I knew that. With one hand pressed flat against my tummy, I let my thoughts take over.

The baby was innocent. Completely innocent.

But I also knew what kind of world I would be pushing it into.

A world where its father's hands belonged to another woman. Where it would grow up either ignorant of the truth or destroyed by it.

I won't do that to it. I won't give birth to a child just to watch it be swallowed by that world.

For three good years, Damien and I have tried for a baby.

God, in the beginning he was everything. He was sweet , showered me with gifts and showed me that I was really born to be loved.

He never for once took a glance at another woman. Anytime I looked into his eyes, all I saw was the raw desire for me. On our very first anniversary, he made love to me . And that was the best day of my life. He made my life whole and no man was closer to that.

Everything was okay, until I noticed his sudden change. He became moody and a little aggressive. And even stopped making love to me, but when he did, it was the gentle thing we used to share. It was rough like he poured anger into it.

At least he hasn't laid a finger on me. He recently started leaving early for work and getting back home very late and when I ask about it, the only thing he says is,

“I'm tired, we'll talk about it tomorrow,”

“Had a meeting”

“I need peace to work”

I gave him peace, the space he asked for and still gave him the benefit of doubt.

I was very patient though it did break my heart. I thought he always worked hard and was too drained or had rough days at work. But I was wrong all this while.

Until the night he looked me up with coldness in the eyes, stomped the table with a fist and said to me ,

“You have no right to question my lateness. It is none of your business”

For the very first time in the years we've been together, he rejected my food like it had poison in it.

Fresh air hit my skin, making me relax a bit. It was nothing like what I felt earlier. My feet moved on their own. Though with burning knees, my feet still wouldn't stop moving.

My phone vibrated in my bag. I pulled it out and picked it up when I saw the caller ID.

“Hello, Lawyer Lawrence here. Am I speaking to Mrs ….”

“Oh hi , Mr Lawrence. Yes that's me “ my voice came out normal which surprised me a bit. Not that I expected to sound like how I was looking at the moment.

“My assistant mentioned you came to my office this morning. My apologies, i had a hearing on a different case ”

Typical of a Lawyer.

“How can I help you?”

I hesitated for a while before I continued, “I did. Can you please help me draft a divorce. I don't think I can continue with it any longer “

“A divorce ?”

“Yes. I want to divorce my husband “

Love Serena’s gut and courage… not the usual weak and pathetic female lead who waited hopelessly for the cheating husband and ended up forgiving and accepting them back in the end

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   The Night Before Court

    Serena The red neon sign in the window of the 24-hour diner was clouded with a low, irregular hum, casting a soft, warm glow across the booth. Outside, the city was dead silent. The storm had passed, leaving behind wet asphalt that reflected the yellow streetlights like a dark mirror. Inside, the air smelled of stale coffee, burnt grease, and copper—a stark, grounding contrast to the sterile, scented air of the executive tower we had fled hours ago. Across the table, Eli was fast asleep. He had crumbled the second we slid into the booth, his small body exhausted by the long, terrifying night. He was curled up on his side on the red vinyl, his head resting on my rolled-up denim jacket, his dark eyelashes casting soft shadows against his cheeks. One of his tiny hands was still loosely wrapped around a plastic diner spoon he had insisted on holding before his eyes drifted shut. Damien sat across from me, his hands wrapped around a thick ceramic mug of untouched black coffee. With

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   The Empty Empire

    Damien The silence in Arthur Holt’s former office was absolute, heavy enough to feel like a physical weight resting on my chest. I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass wall, looking out over the sprawling skyline below. The storm had finally slackened into a light, misting drizzle, washing over the endless grid of amber streetlights and reflecting off the wet asphalt fifty-four floors down. Behind me, the room was being systematically picked apart, piece by piece, by men in dark windbreakers. They weren't taking furniture. They were taking the soul of the company. Technicians wearing thick rubber gloves were unbolting the server racks built directly into the executive mahogany walls, their power tools whirring with sharp, industrial whines. The custom-built terminals that had once monitored trading floors in London, Tokyo, and New York were dark and lifeless, their monitors stripped of power cords, their blue status lights dead. Every file cabinet stood open, wide

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   The Airfield Intercept

    Lawrence The whine of the twin jet engines vibrated through the floorboards, a steady, deafening hum that should have felt like freedom. Inside the cabin, the leather was rich and warm, smelling of polished mahogany and vintage cognac. On the flight deck console, the transponder blinked green, waiting for the tower’s final clearance to enter the trans-Atlantic corridor. I checked my watch and realized it was 02:14 AM. Three minutes. In three minutes, the wheels would leave the tarmac, and the jurisdiction of the federal district court would dissolve into thirty thousand feet of clouds and ocean. And my hard work will pay off so well. I poured myself two fingers of tzepao, my hand steady despite the ruin unfolding back in the city. Rose was done. I knew it the second the automated satellite ping bounced back with a forced disconnect. She had always been too arrogant, too obsessed with the physical vanity of taking Arthur’s chair in that glass tower. She wanted to stand ove

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   WireTap Trap

    Fray The heavy doors of the boardroom swung open with a quiet, hiss that sliced through the suffocating silence. I stepped through the threshold, my hand wrapped firmly around the upper arm of Dr. Vance. The old doctor’s high-end suit was rumpled, his silk tie crooked and loosened at the collar, his skin pale and slick with cold sweat under the bright overhead LEDs. He was breathing in short, shallow hitches as I pushed him forward, his polished oxfords slipping slightly on the marble before he stumbled against the edge of the mahogany table, catching himself with both hands. That made me wonder if he was an MI patient himself. "Tell them, Vance," I said flatly, my hand dropping back to my side, resting naturally against the hem of my trench coat. Dr. Vance refused to look at Rose. He knew the woman who had paid for his silence for years was currently pinned against a window pane, completely stripped of her authority. Instead, his eyes darted to Marcus and the two federal offi

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   Scorched Defense

    Rose Panicking, I slammed my palm against the console glass three more times, but the red rejection screen only flashed brighter, mocking me with its silent, automated defiance. ACCESS DENIED. SERVER LOOP-BACK ACTIVE. "How?" I choked out, staring wildly at the central panel as my vision blurred at the edges. My chest heaved as I fought for air, the room spinning beneath the glare of the overhead lights. "The floor bypass was encrypted on my personal drive! Nobody outside the executive committee had those access keys! I generated the algorithms myself!" "You gave those keys away three months ago, Rose," Damien said smoothly, walking slowly toward the head of the table. His boots made a low, rhythmic thud against the floor. His tall frame cast a long, dark shadow across the polished wood, cutting off what little light remained in the room and trapping me against the wall. "When you opened your private routing channels to Lawrence to facilitate the offshore transfers, you

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   Unredacted Truth

    Serena The quiet hum of the executive suite felt heavy, almost suffocating, as the last digital screen cut to black. On the main video wall, the high-definition feeds from Zurich and Tokyo didn't just log out they vanished behind a stark, flashing red notification that cast long, crimson stripes across the polished mahogany table. ~FEDERAL COMPLIANCE NOTICE: CASE #88-402-A. TRUST ASSETS SEIZED~ Rose just stood still. She stood behind her executive chair, her knuckles pressed so hard into the wood that her skin turned a translucent, ghostly white. Her eyes darted frantically from the dark monitors to the wet-ink municipal land deeds I had spread across her console, as if waiting for the digital displays to flicker back to life and tell her this was all an elaborate illusion. "This is an administrative error," Rose said. Her voice was too quiet, lacking its usual razor-sharp edge. She didn't look at me; she looked past the conference table toward Marcus, who stood near the western

    RoseI rubbed my now visible belly, which had grown into the size of a double football.Satisfaction seeped into my heart thinking about the fact that everything was falling into places just like I wanted.I was twenty-two weeks now. Damien had become a bit distance, but I don't mind. As long as I
