Anna's POVI walked to the kitchen and took a deep breath before I clutched the handle of the kitchen door. I got in and found her in the kitchen, she was backing the door and slicing some tomatoes for dinner preparation. The kitchen smelled of roasted turkey and spiced apples, a comforting aroma that immediately heightened my anticipation.“Hi mom, Good evening mom.” I greeted calmly putting on a smile. She slammed the knife causing me to flinch. My heart beats fast as I gulped hard. I brought out the gift and placed in front of her.“Ugh, mom…I have a little something for you,” I said, trying to sound as cheerful as I felt.She turned around, her expression barely masking her surprise. I held out the small, elegantly wrapped box. “Merry Christmas,” I added, hoping to see an atom of joy in her eyes.She took the box with a sigh, her eyes scanning me briefly before she set it aside on the counter without another word again. Her reactions felt so cold, and I struggled to hide my disapp

4Anna's POVMy hands trembled as I stared at the papers again, his harsh words made me cry more.The pain of betrayal was still there, but I shook it off without letting it control me. I realized I had already lost him a long time ago."Alright, Michael," I said firmly, holding back tears. "If this is what you want, I’ll sign them. But if I was ever told that you of all people will betray me, I won't believe it. I’m not the weak, desperate woman you imagine. I’ll be fine without you.” I swallowed hard with determination and signed the papers.I couldn’t believe this was happening. I couldn’t believe that the man I had loved so much was now treating me like an ordinary strangers and freak, something to be discarded."You’re a coward," I spat, throwing the papers back at him. "You want a divorce right? Fine. But don’t you dare blame me for this. You’re the one who destroyed us, Michael. You destroyed our marriage with your lies.”He didn’t even flinch a bit. The papers scattered around

6Anna's POVWhat the hell was he talking about? Getting married to him right after his step brother broke my heart?“I…I…” I stammered slowly and panicked about what exactly to respond kindly with. The door cracked open and the nurse walked in, she was dressed in pink scrubs and white Crocs, holding a file in her hand.“Mr Xavier, the doctor wants to speak privately with you.” She said politely with a smile. I heaved a sigh of relief.“I will be back soon.” Xavier said and with that, he left.My phone rang loudly, it was Jessica calling. I shifted the drip rope and picked up the phone beside me.“Hello girl! Where the hell are you? I heard about what happened and I'm in the hospital. But which ward? The nurse I met here is so saucy!” Jessica shrilled on the phone.I let out a soft chuckle. “Room 406.” I responded without talking much. Not less than 10 minutes later the door sprang open and she rushed in and hugged me.“What the ... .what actually happened?” She asked hastily.I held

8“Yeah, for now.” He responded, Anna's eyes Caught pictures on the table slabs looking exactly like her, she made to take a closer look but he immediately swept her off her foot and she laid on his hands in a bridal style. Their eyes locked together, their faces almost closer to each other.What the heck?“I..um..my place is really messy. I don't want you to see it like this, that's why ummm…” He stammered, Anna chuckled softly and nodded. He was still holding her tightly in the bridal style.“Um, yeah. I think I understand.” she nodded nervously. “If you don't mind, you're holding me tightly.” she added.“Oh that's right. Cool.” He said and lifted her immediately. The anxiety in his eyes could be clearly seen which made Anna laugh inwardly.“You know what, I will leave you here now. You can freshen up, and then we can talk about dinner.” He said hastily.“Yeah, sounds good.” Anna said and left for the inner room to pick out something to wear. Xavier quickly picked up the pictures o

10The next morning, Anna woke up with a sense of resolve. She dressed carefully, her face set with determination. The pain of the previous day still lingered, but she refused to let it defeat her. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she took a deep breath. She wouldn’t let Sophie or anyone else dictate her life.She was done with hospitals for now. It was time to find a new path, a new beginning. And she would do it on her own terms.She got to the first company whom she searched online before getting the update that they needed employees to work in their company. Anna sat down waiting for the queue to reduce before it could reach her turn.“Miss Anna!” The receptionist called. Anna heaved a sigh of relief and took her bag, she got to the Manager's office and it was a very plumpy lady in her late 30’s. “Good morning ma'am. My name is A….” She tried to say but the lady cut her off with a hand sign in the air.“Your resume and qualifications please?” she said. Anna clumped down ha
