The Woman He Chose To Break

CHAPTER 2StellaI don't know why my mother-in-law acts like I even have the power to control her son's movements. Scario comes and goes as he pleases.I'm nobody in his eyes. Not even the promise he made me on the altar could make him feel a bit of guilt.I'm only his wife when his body wants to ease itself. Every thrust comes with torture. The type I can't even believe is being inflicted on the right person. How could I even scream that it was me that day if my own father threatened to disown me?It's been years but I'm still paying for something I'm not supposed to. I knew he loved her. I also knew that he only kept me just so he could feel like it's her in his presence but I'm nothing like her.I got up early and went to take a shower before going to make breakfast for Scario who had walked in. I didn't want to ask where he had been but the disrespect was just getting out of hand.“I don't remember you sleeping out like that Scario. Where have you been?" I looked at him while he

CHAPTER 4Stella“Stella," my dad said, looking at me with a serious face. I was the only one I could read in the room since that's what I've been seeing.The father-daughter relationship only existed when the cameras were in our faces just like my marriage. Everything was a game to them.I was still at the party looking around as Scario had left to join the elite circle. Each man was with his wife, but not Scario. Greeting those women like the most romantic man in the room."Wait, isn't that your wife?” someone from the circle asked when everyone of them turned to look in my direction."That's her. She actually loves space,” Scario replied with a gentle smile on his lips.For a moment it looked like it was genuine. The way he looked at me in that moment was just everything I wanted to see in his eyes but a sudden coldness came in them.I knew what that meant. He only smiled because he was imagining I was her. He only did all that wishing I was her but when reality hit, he realized it

CHAPTER 6StellaMy heart was pounding like never before.I still couldn't believe Scario had actually said he wanted a divorce. There was a time when I desperately wanted that freedom, when nothing between us seemed capable of working. But fate always seemed to have other plans.I couldn't look weak in front of Ella, so I quickly forced a smile and told Scario that I was going home.“Wait a minute," I heard his mother say from behind me just as I grabbed my handbag.“You can't leave without having dinner with us. Your sister has just returned, and this is a big day for our family," she said with a smile.I knew that woman loved seeing me hurt, so I wasn't going to give her that satisfaction.I thanked her for the offer and turned to leave. Behind me, I could hear Ella begging Scario not to let me leave, but I didn't have the energy for any of it.As I approached the garage, it became obvious that the drivers had been instructed not to take me anywhere. Without saying a word, I headed

CHAPTER 8Scario I've never wanted to be a part of this whole thing. Ever since I woke up from that sickbed and found out that Ella was the girl who saved my life, I owed her everything. I tried to do everything to make her the happiest girl on the planet. She'd always complain about how much her sister would mistreat her but I just wanted her to hang in there. I would take her away soon.But that never happened because Stella made sure Ella was upset enough to crash into another car, which almost cost her life. The amount of pain I felt when I heard about Ella's accident was nothing compared to the pain I felt when I almost drowned.That girl meant the world to me. Everyone knew I loved her but fate almost took her from me. I spent days and hours praying that she would wake up soon, and when she did, we were told that she needed to be sent away for better treatment.I begged my parents to get the local doctors who could give her that, but none were found. I, at some point, also w

CHAPTER 10 Stella Mom! I was shocked. Unable to believe what my eyes could clearly see. My Mom was standing right behind me with the support of a clutch. “This can't be," I heard Selma say with her face turning pink from shock. “What did you say to my daughter?" Mom asked Selma again, trying to take a step closer, but almost fell when I caught her on time. “Careful," I whispered. “It's OK, my child. I've got this," she forced a smile and then got her eyes back to Selma Ford. “Rosalia goodness. I'm so glad you're up. You almost scared us for years. This is such a good moment," Selma commented when she finally caught her breath. “You're such a snake. I don't want to see you here again and please don't you speak to my child like that again or else—" “What?! " Selma pulled out her eyes before continuing, "What? No, I would never do anything to hurt Stella. She's like a daughter to me.” " Yet you let your son do this to her?” my Mom asked Selma "Trust me, I've tried eve
