All Chapters of Divorce? Never Letting Go!: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Tamara.I bring my Maserati to a stop in front of the penthouse, a place that once felt like home has suddenly become stodgy, too cold, coupled with so many lonely nights.It's been a little above two weeks since I last set my eyes on my husband, Killian Ravenford.And every day for the past one year has been hell in this marriage, endless fights here, meaningless argument there.I'm tired— exhausted and drained from Killian’s incessant accusations.On the night of my husband's birthday last year, I had baked him a cake and prepared all his favorite dishes, all I wanted was for him to celebrate his special day with me by his side.Killian was everything I've ever wanted in a man and more. He's tall with impeccably groomed blonde hair, confident, he exudes a commanding presence wherever he walks into, just like the CEO he is, and above all he loves and dotes on me.And this man was all mine.But the front door beeped and Killian walked into our home, behaving nothing like the man I mar

Tamara.I clench my fist tightly, really wanting to slap Chloe for her nasty words. But I remember it isn't worth it, I choose to stay calm and not stoop to her level.Seriously, I'm so fed up with her bullshit but I remained silent instead of fussing like she wanted me to.I turn to prepare my coffee, trying to ignore Chloe. But just as I'm about to grab my coffee and leave the kitchen, she reaches for it, spills some on her shirt and then I heard it—- shattered glass on the floor.“What the hell! Have you lost it?” I yelled, looking at her in horror.But then, she smirks. “Oops sorry,” she says in a low voice.Killian must've heard the glass breaking against the floor, because he rushed in the next minute.He glanced at the shattered glass on the floor, at Chloe and lastly at me, his eyes wide with confusion. “Chloe? What happened?” He asks, but his eyes are still locked on mine.Chloe switches up, shocking me to my core, she runs off to Killian's side, tears welling in her eyes as

Tamara.All the walls I thought I'd built cracks the moment Killian asks that.Wow, I pause, is he worried about me now? That's so rare.I grip my bag and steady my voice to answer. “I was at—,” I begin.“You know what, I don't care.” He says, not even letting me finish. “But as long as you're under my roof, you can't just waltz back in here as you wish,”I sigh, not sure why I still felt the need to explain. “I was at Hazel's, stop finding wrongs where there's none!” I hissed.He all but scoffs. “Your lies are getting better and better I see.” His voice is laced with annoyance. “You can open your filthy legs to as many men as you want, that's fine, no need trying to cover up,”This is ridiculous. Why do I even keep hoping he'd change anyways? I can feel my face getting hot. “You're an asshole, Killian.” is all I say as my anger bubble beneath the surface.Killian barely stifles a dry chuckle, quickly taking a sip from his glass. “The truth hurts, doesn't it?” he snickers, provoking

Tamara.I step out of the elevator and turn to face Alex, realizing I haven't properly thanked him for all he's done.What surprises me even more is that he offered me the position of chief financial officer, the same position I had occupied before I left.It leaves me wondering, hadn't anyone taken up that position?I push that thought aside and smiled. “Thank you for letting me have my job back, Alex. I don't deserve your kindness,” I tell him, my voice breathier than I intended.I honestly didn't think I deserve this chance, given my long absence but then I'm genuinely grateful to Alex.He shakes his head slightly. “No, Tamara. I should be thanking you instead, for deciding to come back to work, you were the best we ever had and I'm confident you still are,” he says firmly. “You're an asset and there's no one more deserving,” he added and my heart fluttered.I—- I don't know what to say, I want to tear up or not. I could hug him right now, but I don't.“Thank you for believing in m

Tamara.Today was a lot more draining than I thought it would be, trying to get hang of things and fit right in, in just one day took out everything in me.And then I had to come back to a home that feels like it isn't mine anymore. Seated right at the dining was Killian, Katrina and Chloe, having dinner while I stood there like a goddamn outcast.I knew I was out of depth to indulge them and I'm sure Katrina wouldn't miss a beat to grouse about how miserable her son has become with me as his wife.I was way too tired for their nonsense. I leave them and walk straight into my room, locking the door behind me.Letting out a deep sigh, I strip myself off my clothes, kick off my heels and draw myself a nice, hot bath.Tired or not, this work is what I enjoy doing, my outlet in every sense of the word; there I can use my head for something much more productive, not worry how I'm going to keep a man who clearly despise me, who had fallen out of love with me.After my long soak, I dry off a
