บททั้งหมดของ Divorce? Your Biggest Mistake.: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Alyssa Today was my in-law’s fortieth wedding anniversary and the whole huge fancy house was filled with the sound of people laughing and soft music and the clinking of expensive glasses. I stood near a big window watching all the important people in my husband Damon’s world talk and smile as they converse. A smile tugged onto my lips as I rubbed on my bump that was barely visible. I was pregnant and the thought was insane, terrifying and exciting. After seven years of trying, after all the doctor's visits and the quiet sad nights wondering if it would ever happen for us it finally had. I found out two days ago after my visit to the hospital, I had used a pregnancy test first and staring at that little stick with two pink lines felt surreal I had to go get a test. And when it came out postive. I’d been planning on how to break the news to him and to my inlaws that have spent years of taunting, insulting and disregarding me, only cause I come from a poor family that is le

Alyssa I stood in my huge walk in closet brushing through my pretty dresses and customized clothings before settling for a plain black pair of jeans and a simple black top and I pulled a big gray hoodie over it. I looked at myself in the mirror my face was pale and eyes were still a little red and puffy from all the crying. I walked down the big curved staircase of my house the workers in the house, the maid and the cook, they looked up at me with surprise. Yeah! They havent seen for seven years now. They were used to my absense. "Good morning Mss White," they said their voices quiet and careful. I just gave them a small nod not say anything. I walked straight to the front door and opened it. Marcus was waiting outside. There was a whole line of black cars a big convoy with serious-looking guards standing beside them. It was like a parade. I looked at Marcus. "Where are we going with so many cars?" I asked my voice flat. "I want a single car nothing to drag attention.

Alyssa The thud of my fists against the leather was the only sound in the underground gym. Thump. Thump. Thump.And with every punch I pictured Damon’s face, his smug handsome smile as I remembered how he would look me right in the eye every single day and say, “I love you, Alyssa.” It was all a lie.A complete and total lie.That he never felt ashame to say. My punches came faster as I remembered the nights I cried because I couldn’t get pregnant. I remembered how he would sometimes get angry and he would say hurtful things. He would ask what kind of woman couldn’t give her husband a child.He made me feel like I was broken and worthless all that time he was the one breaking me. I was so stupid and gullible, I had let him use me, the anger burned inside me like a fire.I hit the bag so hard the whole chain it hung from shook.He pushed me away and let Rachel shove me, he asked the guards to send me to jail like we never had a past together. Like he wasn’t the man I was mad

Alyssa I sat in my home office while Marcus stood opposite my desk his face looking more tired than usual. He said we needed to go over security protocols for an hour but I could tell there was something else.Something bigger.“Alyssa,” he began his voice careful. “There is another development and It’s about Martin.”I leaned back in my chair already feeling a knot form in my stomach. “Uncle? What does he want now?”Marcus took a slow breath. “He is trying to collaborate with the Johnsons. He wants to form a business alliance.”The words hit me like a physical blow.I bolted up from my chair so fast it rolled back and hit the wall with a thud. “What?!” The word exploded from me loud and sharp in the quiet room. “That’s bullshit! Absolute bullshit! After everything? He wants to do business with that people?”“Alyssa calm down,” Marcus said his hands raised in a placating gesture. “Martin doesn’t know, he has no idea about your past relationship with Damon Johnson. To him Johnson Hol

AlyssaI pushed the heavy door open my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my ears. The office was huge with floor-to-ceiling windows showing the whole city.There he was sitting behind a giant shiny desk looking like he owned the world. He was on the phone his back to me talking in that smooth fake voice he used for business.“Yes, of course the deal is practically done,” he was saying. “Don’t you worry about a thing.”I just stood there right inside the door my feet feeling glued to the expensive carpet. My annoyance started to rise hot and fast like lava bubbling up inside me. I let my eyes travel over him this man I had loved for seven years. This man who held me at night and told me he loved me. This man who lied to me every single day with no shame. His broad shoulders, his perfectly styled dark hair and I remembered how I used to run my fingers through it. Now, all I wanted to do was rip it out.To inflict so much pain to him. He finished his call laughing at somet
