When we finally got home, Jessie and I collapsed onto our separate beds, staring up at the ceiling in silence.

My body ached from exhaustion, yet sleep refused to come. Every muscle in me felt heavy, but my mind wouldn’t slow down. Daniela’s bruised face kept flashing behind my eyes.

Jessie groaned dramatically beside me.

“God, I can’t believe I stayed awake the whole night,” she complained, dragging a pillow over her face. “Something I’ve never done before.”

She turned her head toward me with

  • Unexpected Divorce    Chapter 39 : The Diappointment

    Anna’s POVBy the time I got home, darkness had already settled into the living room, broken only by the soft glow of a lamp spilling out from the bedroom—just enough light to see the familiar shape of thingsI didn’t bother turning on the lights; I just walked through it.Jessie had gone to bed early, unlike her.She was usually the one waiting up, full of questions, reading me too easily, pulling answers out of me even when I wasn’t ready to give them.But tonight… she was already asleep and deep down, I felt relieved.Relieved that I didn’t have to explain anything.Relieved that I didn’t have to talk about my conversation with Nathan… or the things it had stirred up inside me.I slipped into the bathroom to take a shower, keeping the water low, careful not to make too much noise. .I stepped out quietly, drying off as gently as I could, moving carefully enough so I could keep the night from going any furtherBut that was impossible because Jessie was a light sleeper.Her voice ca

  • Unexpected Divorce    Chapter 38 : Fear Of Lie

    Anna’s POVThe door shut behind me. For a few seconds, I just stood there, staring at nothing, trying to make sense of why he never answered my question. The silence he left behind felt louder than the argument we had.My eyes drifted back to the closed door. Part of me wanted to storm back in and demand answers. Another part of me hoped he would come after me… say something....anything.But my feet decided for me.They moved on their own, carrying me down the hallway toward the elevator.The elevator doors slid open with a quiet chime.I stepped inside. The space was cold and empty, but better than being in the same room with Nathan Still. I hesitated, glancing at the hallway one last time.A small, foolish part of me hoped he would appear before the doors closed. He didn’tBut his words did “Daniela’s mother once worked at Pips”.Pips. I hadn’t thought about that place in years. It was a building tucked deep in downtown—part club, part guest house.People downtown were known for the

  • Unexpected Divorce    37: The Question

    Nathans POV Anna didn’t move; she didn’t look away. For a moment, neither of us spoke. I steepled my fingers, resting them briefly against my lips, studying her… then slowly pushed myself to my feet. I walked toward her, closing the distance between us until we stood only inches apart. Anna, I called. Her breathing altered, barely noticeable Without thinking, I lifted my hand. My fingers brushed gently against her hair, tucking a loose strand behind her ear as my hand moved to cup her face Soft and careful, as if she might break. she leaned into it rubbing her cheek with her eyes fluttered slightly, her body relaxing into the warmth of my touch… like she had forgotten everything else, forgotten the anger, and the tension waiting in this room, suddenly she pulled away and stepped back like my touch would burn her if she stayed there any longer I let my hand fall slowly to my side, watching her as she moved past me slightly, no longer within reach. That… hurt more tha

  • Unexpected Divorce    36: Refused to see

    Annas POV Jessie looked at me, the kind of look that asked a lot of questions without words. I shook my head lightly, forcing a small smile, as if to say it’s nothing. But it wasn’t nothing. I hadn’t even told Jessie the truth about my life… not fully. And I didn’t know if I ever would. Some things carried too much shame. Some memories clung to you in ways that words couldn’t explain. Silence felt safer than explaining a past I was still trying to escape. My phone rang, Nathan. I picked it up immediately. Jessie brushed my arm in a gesture of solidarity, "I'll be at my station," as she walked past me I nodded, turning slightly away, needing the space as I brought the phone to my ear. “Anna.” The sound of my name with his voice gave me a sweet, tantalizing calmness “I called you earlier, I even came by your office, but you were in a meeting.” “Yes, I must have left my phone behind. That won’t happen again… especially when it’s you calling.” A small sound escaped

Daniela’s bruised face kept flashing behind my eyes.Jessie groaned dramatically beside me.“God, I can’t believe I stayed awake the whole night,” she complained, dragging a pillow over her face. “Something I’ve never done before.”She turned her head toward me with narrowed eyes.“Who are you, Anna, that you’ve made me sacrifice my beauty sleep?” she added dramatically. “I swear… today might be the day I get fired, because right now I can’t move an inch.”Despite everything, a tired smile tugged weakly at my lips.“Come on,” I said, slowly sitting up. “Let’s go take a shower so we can get ready for work, and figure out how to help Daniela.”I tied my hair into a messy bun as I walked toward the bathroom. My eyes felt unbearably heavy, but I forced myself t

  • Unexpected Divorce    Chapter 34: Breaking silence

    Anna's POV“Remember when we were about to leave his office that day… and he called me back?” Daniela said softly, looking at me.I nodded slowly, encouraging her to continue.“He said… If I wanted to know what he liked and how he wanted his design made, I should come see him. He said it would be his way of making up for how he treated us.”She swallowed hard, her voice trembling.“I didn’t think about it at first, Anna. Not even once.” She shook her head slowly. “But when our designs kept getting rejected… everything started to feel frustrating. I felt like I was failing, so I went to Martha. I asked her if it would be a good idea to meet him.”“And what did she say?” I askedDaniela gave a bitter laugh through her tears.“She said… If I wanted success, I should be willing to do anything to get it.”Jessie leaned back in her chair, shaking her head in disbelief.“Every single day that woman amazes me,” Her voice dripped with disgust.Daniela continued with her voice breaking.“She s
