SARAH My marital journey has been a shadow of what I had envisioned. With hopes that my marriage could be better, I decided to give my husband a special treat. It was his birthday, I organized a surprise party for him and also planned to break the news of my pregnancy to him. The spark of our love died with each passing day after our wedding ceremony. However, I want to rekindle the spark today, been a special day for him. “It is late. Why is he not back?” Debby asked, making me look at my wristwatch. “I have no idea.” I sighed, gesturing for her to sit beside me in the dining room. “Let me give him a call.” She said, without wasting much time, she picked up her phone. “Debby, don’t call him. The beauty of the surprise party would be ruined.” Debby was my husband's younger sister – in fact only sibling and she scolds him whenever he is wrong. Sometimes, I felt she was disrespecting him but then, he accepted his wrong. I guess it was out of the love they had for each other as a

SARAH “Hi Sarah, it's quite early but I have a message for you, and it's from your husband,” Uriel uttered politely. “Let’s dive into business.” Uriel was Caleb’s lawyer. He hardly came to the house; all their meeting was usually held in the office. I am curious to know why he came to see me. “A-Alright, please have a seat,” I said calmly and sat on the couch beside him. Debby turned to excuse us but was stopped by Uriel. “You should be here too.” “Really?” Debby muttered. After a few seconds of hesitation, she sat beside me. Uriel pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase. Anxious, I stared at him He handed me a paper. “Read through, it is your copy.” He said, with his eyes darting between Debby and I. I read through the documents, tears welling in my eyes. “Is this real?” I managed to ask, my lips trembling as I tried to hide my pain “Yes, it is from your husband, Caleb. He wants a divorce and you have to sign it immediately.” Uriel said unapologetically. I coul

It's been two months since my marital crisis but with each day, I did what I like best – crafting out unique designs. I was scrolling through my latest fabric designs on my laptop when my phone vibrated, indicating a notification. I reluctantly picked up the phone, and it was an email. I read through and it showed that I have been selected to work with an international agency as their fashion designer. I wondered if I was dreaming. I dialed Aunt Olivia’s number to share the news and she answered almost immediately. “Hi, Aunt Olivia, I got an email from an international agency,” I uttered, with excitement visible in my voice. I added, “I know you are behind it. I can’t thank you enough.” “Sarah, if I don’t do it for you, who will?” Aunt Olivia said happily on the other end. “I recommended you to a client of mine who was organizing a show and that is it. Ensure you send a reply indicating you have accepted the offer.” “I will do that right now.” “That reminds me, I saw Debby a

Two years later SARAH “Is everything ready? Where is Nelly?” Aunt Olivia asked, wearing her earrings with a smile beaming on her face. I was so happy, I ensured everything was in place with the help of my employees. There was a lot to be grateful for, my career and my dear son, Nelly. “Everything is in place Aunt, and Nelly is fine,” I replied excitedly as I patted my cheeks. Aunt Olivia and I were discussing about ST Atelier event when my phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Josh and I answered quickly. “I’ve sent more invitations to some top-tier fashion brands. They will be present at your event tomorrow. I am sure all of them will be impressed and would want to partner with you. I am proud of you!” Josh's happy voice came from the other end of the call. “Oh mine, I don’t know how to appreciate you. You’ve proven to be a true friend all these years. Words are not enough to express my appreciation.” I uttered with all humility. “You’ve proven to be exceptional in your fie

CALEB “Since we returned to California, your attitude towards me changed. Yesterday, I didn’t even understand why you looked moody when you returned from the meeting. You refused to have your meal.” Laura stood akimbo throwing words at me. “Do you even think it is easy to cook?” “It is just some personal stuff, you don’t have to be worried,” I replied indifferently. “Can we have some fun together when you return from work?” She asked seductively and I wondered if everything revolves around sex. “Sorry, that won’t be possible. I have a lot to attend to. When I return home, I know I will be exhausted.” I said with a tightened face. “But you always create time for me. Caleb, what has changed? Please talk to me.” She asked with a pitiful tone, trying to make me feel bad. She continued, “Caleb, don’t treat me this way. Don’t you care about my feelings? We are together yet I miss you like we are living in different worlds.” She paused and added, “Hope it is not what I am thinking?” “

CALEBI decided to go with Silas to freshen up at his house and purchase a new outfit that I will use tonight.All this while, my phone rang. It was a call from Laura. I wasn’t in the mood to talk, I needed time to fix my mind. I assured myself that I was going to talk with Sarah but I couldn’t tell how easy or how soon it would be.After some minutes of being reluctant, I answered Laura’s call because Silas asked me to. “Why did you ignore my call? Why aren’t you home yet? Do you need a lecture on how to be a caring and loving husband? You are becoming unbearable.” Her fury rang out from the other end.I sighed and raced my hand through my hair. If only this lady knew the mess my heart is battling with, then the least she would do is to give me peace.“I don’t have time for this. If you can’t bear with it, please you can leave.” I replied confidently.“What? Caleb, what has come over you? We need to sort this out in person. When will you return home, I am waiting.” With the shock ev

CALEB“She has moved on.” With a low voice, I said to Silas when we got into the car.“Give her time, it is a lot for her to chew at the moment.” He replied. Tapping my shoulder, he added, “If she has found true happiness in another man then you have to let her go.”He continued. “I will take you home because I don’t want you to hit the car against the trunk of a tree.” The concern in his voice didn’t go unnoticed.I wasn’t in my right senses to do anything at the moment. Silas understands me a lot.“Does that kid look like me?” I asked with a furrowed brow.“Which kid?” He fixed his gaze on the steering, feigning ignorance.“There is something I want to find out,” I said grudgingly.“How is the kid supposed to look like you, are you his father?” He said sarcastically.“Okay, do you think the man who came to meet her while she was with us is better than me?” I asked.“The right person to answer that is Sarah,” Silas muttered.“Hmm,” I expressed, not satisfied with his response.Soon,

CALEBI can’t tell how many hours I stayed in the bathtub but when I opened my eyes, the day was so bright and the ray of the sun found its way into my room.I managed to remove my wet clothes and have a proper bath. It was Saturday, so I planned to remain indoors all through.Next, I wore a casual outfit and picked up my phone. I made my way to my study room whose door was linked to my room.Scrolling through my phone, I saw that I had missed five calls from Silas.I smiled and called him back.“Where the hell have you been?” He asked the moment he picked up the call.“Sleeping,” I uttered.“Wow, you must have been dreaming about Sarah which is why you woke up this late.” Silas teased.“Come off it, I need to rest. It is weekend by the way.” I said as I switched on my laptop.“Yeah, its weekend but your secretary had sent several reminders of the scheduled meeting with our new partner and you didn’t reply.” He paused. “It starts in twenty minutes.”After the call, I checked my email

Chapter 10

SARAH I had a lot to do.After ST Atelier fashion event, I got lots of recommendations and business partners.It was difficult for me to ignore that I saw Caleb at my event and he interacted with my son. I expected him to bring up how our relationship crashed but he didn’t. Could it be he was pompous or he didn’t feel the need too.I called Josh and appreciated him for all he has done for me. He recommended me to Mr. Michael and I will be working with a team on a huge project. Michael attended ST Atelier event and was impressed by all the designs and latest collections. It was a massive deal.With that I mean a project with my pay running into six digits. I sat beside Aunt Olivia as we watched the television. With the way she glanced at me at intervals, I knew she had a lot to say. I remained quiet as I waited for her to speak.“What if Nelly starts asking about his father?” She asked calmly.“He won't,” I mumbled.“Are you sure?” She asked with a concerned look. “Didn’t you see the
