Chapter 1: A Broken Emily

Emily's POVI stood nearly lifeless right in front of our bedroom as I watched him fling out my things. Eric had just handed me the divorce papers with a gentle grin on his face.‘Now, I can finally get to live the life I want’ he walked straight to me and whispered slowly in my ears.For a minute, I wondered what I could have done to have made my husband fall out of love with me this way. I can't deny that I didn't see the signs. But I tried. I tried so hard to keep him and make him love me. He was meant to be the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with.At least that was what I thought.All my life, I dreamt of having a home filled with so much brightness. I thought I would have a home where the sun happily shined on us every morning. That was all I thought of as I walked down the aisle 2 years ago.And here I am, in the middle of a divorce at this young age, facing one of the darkest moments of my life.‘Eric, please. Please don't do this to me. Don't do this to us. I lo

Chapter 2: The disturbing Reveal

The drive was quiet for the first few minutes. All I could think of was how Aunt Claudia knew about this and where she even appeared from.Aunt Claudia was my dad’s younger sister. We weren't that close and we barely spoke. All I remember was that she lived with us for a while when I was much younger but that was it.She left years later when she finally got a lead as an actress after years of Improv and small movie gigs which eventually paved the way for her and the wealth she has right now.But the fact that she tried to take me out of the house before my father came meant something.“I am so sorry about your incident Emily” Finally she broke the silence. Her shades were still on and her eyes were fixed on the road.I looked down at the envelope I held containing the divorce papers. I couldn't find the words to utter in response and she could observe my struggle from the corner of her eyes as she drove.“Are you gonna sign the papers?” she asked in such gentle voice like she was try

Chapter 3: Signed and Dusted

“Oh Emily, I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I'm sure he did it with a good intention for you" Aunt Claudia said in a whisper but I heard her clearly.I barely said a word. My tea got cold and I hadn't consumed half the quantity in there.She handed the papers over to me and I opened them to have a look myself.“He did this all for the money!” I exclaimed.I squinted my eyes to carefully read through each line of the contract. Aunt Claudia did not say a word back to me. She only stared as I read through the document and observed as I went through different stages of grief and disappointment all in one sitting. “I know this is so hard to take in at this point. But it would be wise for you to take some rest. I advise you to sign those divorce papers before you try to even confront your dad about this.”She stood up slowly as she spoke and walked towards the staircase leading to her room.“Why did you share this with me, Aunty?” I interrupted her with one more question.“I told

Chapter 4: Ashley, Walter, Wine

“Who in the world was that?” Ashley stretched her words in a whisper and her eyes were beaming with excitement.“I should be asking you. I’m the one that is new here” I responded with a straight face as I took a small bite of my cake.“Well, I have been here and I don't think I have ever noticed that man before but he looks cute and rich”“He sure does.”We had an intense laugh about the moment and continued with our breakfast. I tried not to show so much excitement, even though some part of me felt elated. But I knew for a fact I didn't have the right to feel happy. At least that was what I believed. Mainly because the divorce isn't even finalized yet so why should even have such a positive feeling towards another man?I had such a good moment with Ashley while I tried so hard not to get distracted by switching gazes between my friend and this stunning young man a few seats away from me.Right in the middle of our conversation, the waiter walked down to our table with a full bottle

Chapter 5: The Divorce Package

I had a hard time sleeping through the night. For hours I could not help but wonder who could have sent such a weird yet anonymous text to me.Keeping malice with people or fighting with them has never been my thing so who could possibly have so much hate towards me at this point of my life?My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my alarm as it went off.“What? 5 am already? How was I up all through the night?”I wouldn't deny that I was so scared to close my eyes as long as I could see that it was still dark.“But I need to get some sleep, at least for an hour,” I said to myself as I tried to shift my thoughts away from the divorce and try to think of something else.Sleep came through for only an hour and 30 minutes and it felt as though I slept for about 5 hours which made me feel like I had some level of energy for the day.I sat up in bed as I stared at the divorce papers. Wondering again if I made the right decision. At this point, it didn't matter if the decision was rig

Chapter 6: Eric’s Game

Eric’s POVI stumped out of Emily’s presence with so much rage but I did try to keep it cool. What a struggle!“One could likely think I am bipolar. Luckily I haven’t been diagnosed with that. Yet.” I thought to myself with a slight grin on my face. But who on earth does she think she is!? Well, to be fair, I was the one who asked for a divorce in the first place and that's only because she caught me cheating.Typical Emily! Always snooping around places she isn't meant to be.I tried to bring my anger down to about thirty per cent before I walked back to her face again.A part of me felt elated to see her frozen and still gazing at me as I paced around the house to cool off. What an awesome sight to behold.“I do not want a divorce anymore.” I smiled as I walked towards where she stood.“But why? You asked for this. And I am giving you what you asked for.”“You made me beg Eric. I begged you to stay. I was willing to stay. But you pushed me out like I murdered your mother.”“And no

Chapter 7: Mr Jones

Eric’s POVI knew for a fact that I needed to prepare for this meeting today but I severely lost track of the date. Mr Jones was such a tough man to handle. Barely took no for an answer. What would I have told him if he had walked into the middle of that weird episode Emily and I just had?“Gosh! Eric!! Use your damn brain!!” I was screaming internally at this point.“He loved his daughter but he still loved the money and my father made sure he got that when he sold off his daughter to a weird young man from a rich home.”I cleared the table in a rush and tried to make the living room feel as fresh as though no one had walked in there that day.“Could he recognize the fact that his daughter had just been here? Maybe her perfume still hovered around?”I kept on asking myself these questions as I panic-ran around the house tidying things up.My thoughts were creeping up on me and it nearly became a battle.The lavender air freshener was right by the kitchen table and I reached out to g

Chapter 8: The More the Merrier

Emily POVMy prospective new life had just ended right before my eyes. I sat nearly lifeless as Richard and I drove back home. Tears blurred my eyes and I could barely see the road.“Eric wants to destroy my life,” I muttered to myself. My tears couldn't hold itself back after I blinked again. What can I do to get out of this? He wanted this divorce at first and I gladly gave him what he wanted. But yet again, I am suffering for this.My thoughts were all over the place and the sad Lofi music Richard played in the car heightened this sad emotion well enough.Tears kept trickling down my cheeks, so I reached over my shoulder to yank my cotton scarf.“Oh my gosh!” my eyes widened almost immediately.“Where is my scarf?”“Are you comfortable over there ma’am?” Richard asked as he stole a glance at me through the rare mirror.“I can't find my vintage scarf!” my breath shuddered and my eyes fluttered quickly as I tried to search myself.“It was passed down to me from my mother and I mispl

Chapter 9: Elope, NOW!

I ran out of breath from sprinting to the car in such a way. My life is most likely in danger because why would three of these men who play weird roles in my life come together?Ethan acted so weirdly. Walked in without saying a word, and I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened.I only came here to return the divorce papers and look at all that has happened in merely 3 hours.“Who on earth called me at such a time?” “Next time when trying to pull such a stunt, remember to put your damn phone on airplane mode Emily,” I spoke to myself out loud“Oh, Aunt Claudia! Just the person I need to speak to. But I don't think this is a conversation I needed to have out loud.” I muttered, staring at Richard through the sides of my eyes to make sure he wasn't focused on my clumsiness.“I am on my way back Aunty but once I get in, I really need to talk to you. Let me know if you're home. If you're not, tell me where you are so I can come to you.”“Great. Now I pray she sees that text
