Victor POV

I sat in my office all day thinking of tomorrow night, when I get to pick up Daya from the airport, when Liam knocked on my office door. He sat in the chair across from my desk and asked, “A few of us are going to the bar tonight. Are you coming?” I sighed as I sat back in my chair, “No. Harley is expecting me for dinner tonight for some reason. I need to give her some papers anyway.”

Liam’s eyebrows raised as he asked, “Are you seriously thinking about divorcing her?” I nodded, “I’m not thinking about it. I’m doing it.” Liam asked, “Man, I need to know why.” I shrugged, “She’s okay, as far as housewives go, but not stunning enough to take to events.” Liam shook his head at me, “Are you crazy? Dude, I would kill for a wife like her. She’s beautiful, smart, and her life revolves around you. Sorry, but I think you’re going blind.”

I shook my head in disagreement, “Daya will be coming back tomorrow night. She’s the one I want. If my dad hadn’t insisted, I would’ve never married Harley.” Liam countered, “Everything you love about Daya is fake. Your wife is all natural and beautiful. You are making the biggest mistake of your life. Just let me know when you do it. I want to be there to help her heal.”

 I don’t know why, but I growled, “Stay away from her.” Liam growled back at me, “Try me. You may be stupid, but I’m not. I’m going to the bar. If you want to join us, I’ll see you there. If not, I’m still going.” Then the fucker stood up and left. I didn’t need his approval, but I never expected to be told my best friend wanted her, if I didn’t. I have no idea why I suddenly got possessive. Didn’t I just tell him I don’t want her?

Harley has nothing on Daya. Dayanara Lachland, is a prominent socialite who I have known since grade school. She was my first crush, the subject of my first wet dream and my first girlfriend. She became a model right out of high school, then crossed over into acting only a couple years later.

Harley is beautiful with long black hair and striking green eyes. They look like they can see right through you. That’s exactly the reason I stayed away from her as much as possible. I didn’t want her to see that I could care less about her as a wife. I don’t love her and she knows it.

Daya is a blonde bombshell with bright blue eyes. Her body is perfection; perfect tits, ass and her legs go on for days. Her skin is like silk and her performances in bed have always been the stuff of my fantasies. She is all around perfection in every way for me. She split up with me a few years ago. She said she didn’t want to be married when she started acting. She wanted to be seen as the pure, innocent type of woman.

It killed me to let her go, but I wanted her to live out her dream. I was beyond heartbroken for months. She was my forever and I lost her.

When she called me last week saying she was coming home and she wanted us to pick up where we left off, I didn’t hesitate to see my attorney. I wanted a divorce agreement written. I told him what I wanted to give Harley and he had them done today. I picked them up this morning before I got to work.

After talking with Liam, I wondered what he saw in Harley. To me, she was just a plain girl that I just knew would do nothing in bed. Although, there was that one night… the night I got shitfaced drunk and thought I was fucking Daya. I had convinced myself that it was Daya because Harley would not be this wild.

We fucked in three different positions that night and she enjoyed every one of them… until I came and said Daya’s name. That was when she went stiff as a board and turned over as soon as I was out of her. I pulled her close and spooned her for the rest of the night. When I got up the next morning and noticed I was holding Harley and she was naked. I couldn’t get out of bed fast enough.

I went to the bathroom and started the shower while I took my morning piss. I was trying to remember what happened the night before when I stepped into the shower. When I noticed the blood washing off of my dick onto the shower floor I gasped and whispered, “Fuck.” How did I not know Harley had been a virgin? I guessed I never cared enough to ask. I got dressed as quietly as I could and snuck out of the house without waking her. I was a fucking coward.

I sighed as I realized I was daydreaming and decided I would head home, not knowing why Harley insisted I come home tonight. When I parked my car in the driveway, I got out and went inside. As always, she met me at the foyer and helped me out of my jacket. She was asking questions and I was answering in short answers.

She led me to the table where she had cooked a lot of my favorite dishes. I had never told her, but she was an amazing cook. The food smelled heavenly, but she had candles lit and she was wearing a dress that I had seen before but never paid attention to how it showed her cleavage. That was when I realized today was our anniversary.  She looked beautiful, but not better than Daya. I finally had to stop her constant questions and told her I want a divorce.

I thought Harley would crumble to the floor in tears and beg me not to do it. Instead, she was pissed. I had never seen her even the least bit angry before. She was always a happy woman… annoyingly so. She was certainly not happy. I handed the papers to her and she insisted on taking a few days to have her attorney look at them. I knew anyone who looked at them, without researching how much I am now worth, would think I was being more than fair.

I went upstairs to my room and packed a bag for the next couple of days. When I went back to the living room she was standing there with her arms crossed. She was so angry, I was almost afraid of her. When I told her I knew my timing sucked, she had such a brazen comeback, I was left speechless for a second. I just told her I would be back in a couple of days to pick them up and we would talk about where to go from here. When she threatened to start throwing shit, I left.

I got in my car and reflected on something she said. I had told her that I had never seen this side of her and she told me there are a lot of sides to her that I’ve never seen and will never see now. She told me that I never even gave the marriage a chance.

After dropping off my stuff at the villa, I decided I would join the guys at the bar. When I got there, I guess I must have had a guilty expression on my face. Liam just shook his head at me, “You actually did it.” I huffed, “And on our second anniversary, at that. I’m a douchebag.”

Liam stood up, “I got nothing, man. I gotta go.” Then he left.

    I put my phone next to me and started sketching, my phone quiet, until one hour later. I saw it was Lacey calling and answered on the second ring, “Hey, did he call you?” She answered with an exasperated sigh, “To be honest, Harley, I think he’s falling in love with you now. He started asking me when you became this confident woman. I laughed at him and told him this was the way you were before you married him”.I laughed, “I bet that’s killing him.” She agreed, “I think you’re right.” I shook my head, “I will never change who I am for a man again.” She answered, “That’s the Harley I know and love. Now, the reason I called is because he wants to speak with you… in person. I told him it would have to be in a public place with me present or recording the conversation. He agreed to record the conversation.”I agreed, “Okay. We can meet for lunch tomorrow at our favorite café.” She replied, “I will let him know. Are you okay?” I nodded, “I’m really good. I took a really long nap, Annie ha

    Lacey sighed, “Who knew you would get pregnant on the first and only time you slept with that idiot?” I shrugged, “Well, I guess I now have something to think about. I just hope this doesn’t keep Daniel from dating me”. Lacey sighed, “There is no telling. I guess we’ll find out”.Angela parked her car in front of us and we got in. Angela immediately asked, “So, what happened?” Lacey explained what happened and told her that I am pregnant. She asked, “Are you going to tell dipshit?” I chuckled, “Yeah. I need to. He needs to know so he can choose if he wants to be a part of its life. I may wait until after the divorce is done, though.”Lacey cringed, “Am I going to have to revise the divorce agreement again? We need to add a visitation schedule and child support to it now.” I shook my head, “We can do all that separately, after the baby is born.” I am going to tell him soon, I just don’t know if I want to do it today. I don’t want any more stress than I already have. I also need to eat

    Lacey called him back and told him my answer in my exact words. I knew he had chosen not to sign the papers when Lacey’s volume increased, “Fine, you have no idea of the shit storm you have created. We will see you in court.” I started feeling dizzy and everything went black.When I opened my eyes, I was in an ambulance with Lacey sitting next to me, “Oh my goodness, Harley! Are you okay?” One of the EMTs asked, “Ms. Frost, you passed out and your blood pressure is running a bit high. We are on the way to the hospital to have you checked out. Okay?”I just nodded, “That’s fine. I figure it’s just stress with all of Victor’s bullshit plus the move. I’ve been having a lot of nightmares about his mother, so that keeps waking me up. My body is just involuntary shutting down to force me to rest.” The EMT answered, “You are probably right.”Lacey sighed, “Well, I don’t want you to talk to him anymore. You let me handle him.” The ambulance stopped and the EMTs wheeled me into an ER bay. They

    Harley POVAfter eating breakfast, we went to Victor’s house. Lacey parked on the side of the driveway to allow the moving van access. We got out of the car and as I approached the house, the front door opened. It was Victor. I took my rings off of my finger and put them in his hand as I entered the house, “I will not be accused of trying to steal anything in this house.”Victor answered, “But these are yours. They were never meant for anyone else.” I shook my head, “Did you forget that you originally presented that engagement ring to Daya? I was never special enough for you to give me anything original. Don’t worry about it. I’m not.”Lacey smiled, “The moving van is here.” I smiled, “Sweet! The sooner we get this done, the sooner I can do what I want with my life.” I started to walk outside when Victor stopped me, “Why are you doing this? You can keep this house. I planned on you keeping it in the divorce.” I shook my head, “I don’t want any reminders of my time with you. This house

    Theodore Cross’ POV“Dad, I gave her the divorce agreement last night. We are getting a divorce,” Victor informed me. I asked, “Why would you do that? Harley is such a loving and loyal spouse for you.” Victor answered, “Daya is coming home tonight. I will be picking her up from the airport late tonight.”Ugh. Daya again. I asked, “Do you not remember what she did to you last time?” Victor answered, “Yes, I recall being there, but she said she wants to pick up where we left off. I miss her, dad. I’ve always loved her.” I shook my head, “Son, you are making a huge mistake. That woman is as fake as they come.”Victor sighed as he put his pen on his desk, “I have to at least try with Daya one last time. If I don’t, I will live the rest of my life wondering if it would have worked. Mom likes her; why can’t you?”I replied, “Because she is a vindictive, spiteful thing. She lies worse than every politician I’ve ever met. You’ll see what I mean… eventually. I just hope it’s before she takes y

    We were about halfway through our second bottle of wine that night when the ladies decided they wanted me to speak more freely about my marriage. I tried not to, but the temptation was way too much.Lacey asked, “What did Winifred do to you?” I explained, “She would have her bridge club come to my house so that I would have to play hostess. I would have to make and serve all the food, serve all the drinks and clean up all their messes. The worst part of it all was that she would always do everything she could to degrade or humiliate me.”Lacey asked, “What kinds of things did she say or do?” I answered, “She would constantly try to make me fall by tripping me. She would always find a way to bring up the fact that my parents were never rich, so I didn’t know how to act around people like them. She would point out that my clothes were not designer. I would tell her I don’t wear designer clothes while cooking or cleaning.”Angela asked, “Who all knew you were married?” I raised my brows,
