All Chapters of Marriage Over; Sign The Divorce Papers, Mr. Brooke : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Anastasia's POVI watched Serena cling to Tristan with an easy smile, her gaze never leaving mine, and I wouldn't lie, l, I felt intimidated by her presence. She was the same woman whose disappearance had nearly driven Tristan mad with anxiety five years ago. She was the reason I became Cinderella, because everyone believed I would never have married my prince charming if she hadn't vanished. Deep down, I believed that too. But now she was back... did that mean it was finally time for me to leave the castle and return the prince to his rightful princess?“It's been such a long time, Anastasia... or should I call you Mrs Brooke now?” she asked with another pleasant smile. But beneath that smile, I could hear the mockery dripping from every word. That was the thing about Serena. She wasn't the innocent, fragile woman everyone believed her to be. At least, I knew better because I had always been on the receiving end of her schemes. Growing up, everyone believed I bullied her, and since

Anastasia's POVEveryone rushed to receive her, some even bumping into me in the process, but I was too disappointed to react. Not disappointed that my husband had walked in with his first love, but disappointed that he could make time to attend the family dinner with her when I hadn't been able to get him to come with me after all these years.“You've grown so much... and you've become even prettier,” my mother-in-law said warmly as she hugged Serena, carelessly pushing me aside.“When did you get back?”“Were you hiding from us all this time?”Questions came from every direction, everyone eager to hear her answers, while I stood in the middle of the room like a lost sheep. Tristan's gaze briefly landed on me once, and the hostility in his eyes was impossible to miss.It seemed someone was still holding a grudge, but even though his eyes didn't hold warmth for me, it felt like they were still watching over me. But I shook it off. “I'm glad to be back after so many years,” Serena bea

Anastasia's POV“Miss, are you awake?” I heard a faint voice, and I fluttered my eyes open gently, taking in the sight of the room.Everything looked so white that I thought I might have died from donating blood to Serena, and I panicked as I looked around, only relaxing when I saw the doctor beside me. The doctor started rambling beside me, and I was able to pick up the pieces from what he said.I had lost consciousness for a day, and even then, no one was at my side when I woke up. Not my so-called husband, or even his family. And it made me wonder if Serena's hospital room was this scanty. I bet it wouldn't be.“Are you listening to me, ma'am?” the doctor asked, and I just nodded slightly. “So, I ran a test on you,” the doctor said, his face filled with guilt. “You are pregnant, ma'am,” he added, but I was too blank to react.So what if he knew about it now? Did it change the fact that no one cared about that when they kept taking blood from me?“I'm sorry that I didn't have you te

Tristan's POVI waited for Serena to say something, but before she could speak, the door to the hospital room opened, and my mother and cousin, Katherine, trooped in.“My Serena!” my mother yelled as she rushed to her side, and I had no choice but to abandon my question.Maybe it was even better this way. What if my question had made her uncomfortable and she decided to leave again, especially after the crazy stunts Anastasia had pulled?“Welcome, Mother. You shouldn't have come,” Serena said, and I watched my mother and her chat away, but it wasn't long before the discussion shifted toward Anastasia.“That witch! How could she do this to you?” my mother lamented as she turned to face me. “Go and drag her here! She needs to apologize for what she did!” My mother exhaled, but I shook my head.“She already came here, and I don't think…” I was saying, but Serena interrupted me.“She was here earlier, and even though she didn't apologize, I'm just grateful that she donated her blood to me

Anastasia's POVI shook my head, not wanting to believe that Serena could have lost her mind enough to take my things out of the room that I shared with Tristan, but the scene in front of me didn't change.But what was that crazy girl up to? Did she not just get discharged from the hospital? Yet my room was the first thing she targeted. She really wanted to replace me that badly, but that was not going to happen.“Everything… I mean every single one of her things in this room, I want it moved out,” I rasped, not willing to be pushed out by her, but the maids didn't move to carry out my order.“She hasn't moved her things in yet, but the young master said we should do whatever she wants,” the maid said, and I couldn't help but catch the hidden meaning.It meant whatever I said had no weight in this house.Tristan was stripping me of everything.I had spent days at the hospital, and not once had Tristan picked up his phone to call me, but it was definitely refreshing to know that he had
