Divorce Papers

Damian PovI sat at my desk staring at my computer. I could not focus on work. I had not focused on anything for days. All I could think about was Bella.Someone knocked on my office door. I ignored it. The knocking got louder."Go away" I yelled."Sir it is Karen" a voice said through the door. "I need to talk to you about the Henderson account"I stood up so fast my chair rolled backwards and hit the wall."Get out" I shouted. "Get out right now""But sir I just need five minutes""I said get out" I walked to the door and locked it. "You are fired Karen. I already told you that, stop coming here""You cannot fire me without proper notice" Karen said. "That is illegal""Sue me then" I said. "But get away from my door"I heard her heels clicking down the hallway. Finally silence.My assistant knocked softly. "Mr Roberts......a courier just delivered this for you""Leave it outside the door""Yes sir"I waited until I heard footsteps walking away. Then I unlocked the door and grabbed t

Unexpected News

Bella PovI stood in front of a small apartment building. The building was old and the paint was peeling. It was nothing like the luxury penthouse I used to live in. But it was mine. And it was far away from Damian and everything that reminded me of him.I unlocked the door and walked into my new apartment. It was tiny. Just one bedroom and a small kitJake and a bathroom. The floors were scratched. The walls were yellow from age. But the rent was cheap and that was all that mattered now.I set down the two boxes I carried. Everything I owned fit into my car. Just clothes and books and a few personal items. I left everything else behind. The furniture. The decorations. The expensive gifts Damian bought me. All of it reminded me of him.I walked to the window and looked outside. The view was just other apartment buildings and a busy street. Nothing special.But it was mine.My phone rang. My modeling agent."Hello" I answered."Bella hi" Marcus said. "How are you doing""I am okay" I l

Security Escort

Damian PovI sat at my desk and picked up the phone. This needed to end today. No more delays. No more excuses. I dialed security."Yes Mr Roberts" the security chief answered on the first ring."Come to my office right now" I said. "Bring two of your guards with you""Is there a problem sir""Just get up here" I said and hung up before he could ask more questions.I stood up and walked to the window. I looked down at the parking lot below. Karen's car was still there in her usual spot. She was somewhere in this building right now. Probably spreading lies about me to anyone who would listen. That ended today.Someone knocked on my door."Come in"The security chief entered with two large guards behind him. They looked serious and ready for trouble."What can we do for you sir" the chief asked."I need you to find Karen Tyler" I said. "She used to be my secretary. Find her and escort her out of the building immediately""She is being terminated" the chief asked."She was terminated day

Two Pink Lines

Bella PovI woke up early before my alarm went off. My stomach felt wrong again. Not sick exactly but definitely not right either. The strange feeling had been there for several days now and it was only getting worse.I got out of bed and walked to the tiny kitchen. I made tea and tried to drink it but my stomach turned the moment the liquid touched my tongue. I set the cup down fast and took some deep breaths until the feeling passed.I got dressed in jeans and an old sweater. I grabbed my purse off the counter. Today I had to go to the store. I had been putting it off for three whole days but I could not avoid it anymore. I needed to buy a pregnancy test. I needed to know the truth one way or the other.I opened my front door and almost stepped right on it. A red rose. One perfect red rose lying on my doorstep with a folded piece of paper wrapped around the stem.My heart stopped beating for a second. I looked up and down the empty hallway but no one was there. I bent down with shak

All Night Vigil

Damian PovI sat completely alone in my big office. The entire building was empty and silent. Everyone had gone home many hours ago but I stayed behind. I did not want to go back to that empty penthouse. I could not face it tonight.I poured expensive whiskey into a crystal glass. I did not even like whiskey that much. But it made everything hurt just a little bit less. It made the pain slightly more bearable.I picked up the silver photo frame sitting on my desk. Bella and me on our wedding day. She looked so incredibly happy in that photo. So beautiful and perfect. I looked happy too standing next to her. We had absolutely no idea what was coming in our future. No idea how badly I would destroy every single thing we built together.My phone suddenly rang loud in the quiet office. I looked at the screen. Mom calling. I did not want to talk to her right now but I knew she would just keep calling over and over until I finally answered."Hello" I said."Damian" my mom said. "Finally you

First Ultrasound

Bella PovI sat alone in the cold exam room wearing nothing but a thin paper gown. The room smelled like antiseptic and made my stomach turn even more than it already did every morning.The doctor walked in holding a clipboard. She was middle aged with kind eyes and short gray hair."Good morning Bella" she said with a warm smile. "How are you feeling today""Tired" I said. "And nauseous all the time""That is very normal for your first trimester" she said. "The nausea should start getting better in a few weeks""I hope so" I said quietly."Well let's take a look at your baby" she said. "Lie back and lift your gown just above your belly"I did what she told me. The air in the room felt freezing on my bare skin. The doctor squirted cold gel onto my stomach and I jumped a little."Sorry about that" she said. "I know it is cold"She pressed the ultrasound wand onto my belly and moved it around slowly. I stared at the black screen next to the exam table. At first I could not see anything.

Public Confrontation

Damian PovI crouched behind a parked car across the street from Bella's modeling agency. My heart pounded so hard in my chest I could hear it in my ears like a drum.I had been waiting here for two hours. Hiding like some kind of criminal. But I needed to see her. I needed to talk to her face to face. She would not answer my calls. She blocked my emails. This was the only way left.The agency door opened. I tensed up. But it was just some young guy in a suit. Not Bella.I waited. My legs were cramping from crouching for so long. My back hurt. But I did not move.Then the door opened again. And there she was.Bella.She looked exhausted. Dark circles under her eyes. Her face was pale and thin like she had not been eating enough. She was wearing loose clothes that hid her body. But I knew. The private investigator told me three days ago. She was pregnant. Carrying my baby.She started walking down the sidewalk away from me. I stood up fast. My legs almost gave out but I caught myself o

Breaking Point

Bella PovI woke up to my stomach twisting violently. I barely made it to the bathroom before I started vomiting. It came in waves. Over and over until there was nothing left but I kept heaving anyway.I knelt on the cold bathroom floor with my arms wrapped around the toilet. Tears streamed down my face. My whole body shook.When it finally stopped I just stayed there. Too weak to stand up. Too tired to move. I put my cheek against the cool tile floor and closed my eyes.My phone rang in the other room. I knew who it was before I even looked. My agent Marcus.I forced myself to stand. My legs were shaky. I walked to the bedroom and picked up my phone."Hello" I said. My voice sounded rough and horrible."Bella where are you" Marcus yelled. Actually yelled at me. "The shoot started an hour ago"My stomach dropped. The shoot. I completely forgot about the shoot."I am sorry" I said. "I am sick Marcus. I cannot""You cannot" Marcus said. His voice got even louder. "Do you have any idea h

Desperate Measures

Damian PovMy phone rang at exactly six in the morning. I grabbed it off the nightstand. The private investigator."What" I said."You need to see this" Johnson said. "Sending photos now"My phone buzzed. Three photos came through. I opened the first one.Bella. In a grocery store. She was reaching for something on a high shelf. The photo was blurry but I could see her face clearly. She looked pale. Thin. Exhausted.I swiped to the second photo. My heart stopped.Bella was on the ground. Lying on the grocery store floor. People were crowded around her. Someone was holding her head. Someone else was on their phone probably calling for help.She fainted. She collapsed in the middle of a grocery store because she was not taking care of herself. Because she had no one to help her.I swiped to the third photo. Bella sitting up. A store employee was helping her to her feet. She looked embarrassed. Weak. Alone."When were these taken" I asked Johnson."Yesterday afternoon" he said. "She refu

Emergency Room

Bella PovI was walking through the park when the world started spinning. The trees blurred together. The ground tilted sideways. My legs went weak.I tried to grab onto a bench but I missed. Everything went black.When I opened my eyes I was lying on the ground. A woman's face hovered above me."Don't move," she said. "I called an ambulance.""No." I tried to sit up. "I'm fine.""You collapsed," the woman said. She pressed her hand gently against my shoulder. "You were out for almost a minute. Please, just stay still.""I have to get up." My voice came out thin and strange. "I have things to do.""Whatever you have to do can wait." She was firm but kind. Maybe fifty, with silver-streaked hair and worried eyes. "What's your name?""Bella.""I'm Joanne. Bella, you're going to be okay. Just breathe."Other people gathered around. I wanted to tell them to go away but I couldn't find the words.My hand went to my stomach. The baby. Was the baby okay.The ambulance arrived. Paramedics rush
