All Chapters of Dear Ex, You're Always MINE!: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*CORA*Very early the next morning,I was seated in couch in the living room waiting for him to come home,my luggage was beside me as I sat with arms crossed.I knew my eyes were red-rimmed and hurting,that was because of all the crying of last night,plus I couldn't sleep.But I had sworn to myself that that was the last time I would ever cry because of him.I heard the front door opened and I glanced up to see him walking in.My heart ached seeing him with that shirt and with how disoriented he looked,it reminded me of the night he'd had.I looked away from him.I didn't want to speak to him right now while he was looking like this.I still wondered what was wrong with me though.Was I that unlovable?Granted,I knew it was wrong to force him into a marriage he didn't want but I just wanted him to see how much I loved him.His Grandma had also felt that I was perfect for him.Why couldn't he see that?Why couldn't he see me?I did everything to fit his taste.I changed my fashion sense,

*CORA*In the next couple of days,I took over the department store and I did my best to distract myself with work.Just as Jerome had said,my employees were indeed glad to have me back and I was having quite a great time working in my store.It was one of the biggest departmental store in the city.There were different section in it,ranging from the jewelry section,clothing section,bag and shoes collections,hair accessories and lots more.I wondered what ever made me give this all up to be with Tristan.It was quite a stupid decision.***************I had just gotten off the escalator when I ran into someone.Celia Godoy.She was Tristan's mother.I sighed heavily as I stared at her.She stared back at me and then around the store as if I was in a place where I wasn't supposed to be."Did you seriously come to shop here?"She began.I only continued staring at her,reeling in all what she had done to me for the past three years."So this is what you do all day?Spend Tristan's money lavis

*CORA*"My mother was right about you.You know,she was just tell me about how you insulted her at a departmental store and I defended you but look at you,I caught you hurting Phoebe for not reason at all and you can't even apologize to her."Tristan said,disdainfully.My teeth clenched."I do not care about what you or anything think of me anymore.My days of pleasing you are over.I came here to go over the divorce procedures so let's go over that right now.""What's taking you guys so long?"I heard Celia's voice as she walked up to us at the hallway and then she exclaimed,dramatically."What the hell?What happened to you,Phoebe?Why is your hair scattered?What…?"Phoebe sniffed and then let out."I'm okay,Mrs Godoy.It's nothing."She let out,clearly pretending to be meek but Tristan and his mom couldn't see that."What do you mean?This isn't nothing.Who hurt you?"And then she turned to face me."Did you do this to her?!"I rolled my eyes and looked away."You little wench!How dare you put y

*CORA*I rolled my eyes as I stared at Phoebe acting like a fish who just got taken out of the water."Since you physically assaulted her that day,she's been having constant headache."I rolled my eyes."That's none of my business.""It should be.I wonder if you ever feel guilty for any of your actions."I was utterly confused and angered by Tristan's behavior."You…""Don't you even have any regards for your family name.The Watsons is quite a prestigious name.First,you pretended not to be related to them and now,you're perambulating with this man while being married to me.I guess there must be nothing prestigious about your family."My jaw dropped.That was a low blow."You have no fucking right to talk about my family."I snapped at him.My grievance,humiliation and stubbornness surged out from the bottom of my heart.Lifting my head slightly,I raised my eyebrow at him."Just so you know,I have done nothing to tarnish my family name and I never will.Not before and definitely not now."

*CORA*"Stop acting as if I owe you anything!I owe you nothing.You knew it from the start!You knew that there was never going to be anything real between us."He shot at me."But you promised…""I promised nothing!"He snapped.Now,I was starting to regret everything I had blurted out.It was all a spur of the moment and I wasn't thinking before I spoke.And now it dawned on me that he never felt even the slightest bit of love for me.Taking a deep breath,I looked at him straight in the eye with the same vigor I had before."I get it now.But you still have no right to tell me to hide our divorce and I'm not going to hide it."I said,firmly.He rubbed my temple while holding my gaze.************TRISTAN*I didn't know what to say to her at the point.So I just stared at her and it was only then,standing inches away from her did I realize that I had not closely looked at her before.I noticed that her eyes were slightly red and swollen,and there were pink blood streaks around her eyes.He
