All Chapters of THE COST OF GOODBYE : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

“You don’t need to come. I know you don’t like these dinners” Jason Graham, my ever loving husband said over the phone“That’s alright. I already said I would accompany you”The other line went silent for a while before he finally spoke. “I would pick you and Ethan later”“No need” I said“Don’t be difficult Elena. I would pick you up”Without waiting for her response he disconnected the call. He had begged her before to come with him to the dinner, and when she didn’t comply he gave her the cold shoulder. Now because he wanted Katie by his side, he pretended to care. Ever since Katie became his secretary he had adored her and neglected me. He would often buy her gifts and run to her every time she called. He would often try explaining to me.‘Katie has been the best employee and I am just rewarding her’ he would say. At first I believed him and would often praise him for being such a good boss. But then I noticed the mistakes and I read the messages. Katie wasn’t one of the best empl

“You’re the guy from the dinner” Jason said as he turned to look at the voice.

Jason provoked by his words was about to speak when the man cut him off again.“I’m not here to take money from you. I’m actually here to see your wife. The woman you’re married to

“I always knew you were a jinx” Olivia graham, my mother-in-law continues.My once teary expression slowly turned to bitterness as I saw them at the door. She stood with my father-in-law, Noah graham and watching them with that familiar scowl brought me unpleasant memories. Jason’s parents never approved of our marriage, they always felt he was too good for me. They had bullied me for the ten years of my marriage with Jason and it was only during my pregnancy with Ethan that they gave me a little face. They still bullied me with snide remarks and would always say that they wished Ethan didn’t end up like mw. They had gotten their wish, he was more of Jason, the exact replica. When I gave birth to Ethan, the bullying began again, worse than before, and Olivia would sometimes try to prevent, me from coming close to Ethan. Before he would step in to defend me, sending his parents away and gently wiping my tears, but when Katie came all of that changed. He often joined them to bully me, c
