Stuck In Matrimony

Once again he had walked past me like I did not exist. Like I was a piece of furniture that simply stayed put and watched its owner walk by, unable to utter a word.I opened my mouth to call out to him but the words hung in my throat as I reminisced on what had happened the last few times that I tried to speak to him. I certainly did not want a repeat of that but how long would we continue like this?I looked up again and saw that he was long gone, leaving me to bask in the scent of his signature cologne that lingered for longer than it was supposed to.I stared down at the flashy rings on my finger and let out a shaky breath. He never wore his ring, what was the point of wearing mine all over the place when the man I was married to did not even value our union? I was nothing more than a burden to him and he did well to show his thorough dislike for me.I glanced at the calendar on my phone and grimaced. It was a painful reminder that I had been married for half a year and I had never

I twisted the knob on the door that led to my office and halted as I spotted a familiar figure seated in the room. "Dad." "Hello son." He smiled at me, I didn't return it. "What are you doing here so early?" I asked, walking over to my desk. He shrugged, "Well your mother wanted me to come see you and I couldn't say no." "Thanks for checking on me. I'm fine, thank you." I said. "You didn't ask how we're doing." He said. "I'm sure you're fine." "How's Hannah?" I paused my movements and looked up at him, "If you want to know how Hannah is doing, I suggest you ask her." "She's-" "I know she went over to yours and probably shed crocodile tears to make you pity her. I suggest that you stop getting her hopes up and allow her file for a divorce." "Why haven't you filed for it?" He threw the question at me. "That's because she wouldn't leave me alone until she's fed up and she'll definitely take this to court. I don't need any of that drama." I weakly explained. "Or maybe you sti

I opened my eyes and saw that Zach had left. His side of the bed had gone cold. I sighed, though I was in his bedroom, I still felt abandoned. I felt like a one night stand. A knock on the door had me sitting up. It was Malia."Good morning madam." She came in, holding a tray filled with delicacies."Morning Malia." I yawned."Seems like you had a busy night." She grinned. I held my blanket closer, almost sinking into the bed due to embarrassment. I didn't want to imagine how messy my hair must have looked."No need to be shy now. This is good." Malia reminded me of my mother a lot. If my mom was still in America she would most probably do the same thing Malia did. I was glad she wasn't though. It would hurt her to know that my marriage had gone from two strangers living together to a friends with benefits situation with no strings attached. "He said to bring breakfast for you. He believes you'll be too exhausted to come down to join him.""He's home?""Surprisingly so." She smiled

It was the weekend and I was taking a walk outside the mansion. The nausea was getting to me really and I needed some air to help dampen it. I waved at Louis as he wiped the cars clean of the morning dew that had settled on them. Shockingly, Zachary's favorite car was one of them. I was surprised that he was even in but of course I had been avoiding him ever since..I had been speaking to James who had been trying to convince me to not go through with the divorce for now because if Zachary did not want to sign, we would have to go to court and the whole back and forth, according to him, would be too stressful for me in my condition. I laughed at all of that.Screw me for picking Zachary's best friend as my divorce lawyer. "Madam!" I turned as Louis called out to me. "Miss Malia said to call you in for breakfast." He said."I'll be there in a minute. Thank you." I said to him before he turned to leave.With one last breath of fresh air, I turned back around to head into the house.Z

I was so mad. Who the hell did Zachary think he was to throw his instructions in my face? Yes, he saved my father's company but who was he to try and stop me from building my father's legacy? I paced the room several times, venting in my thoughts."Maybe getting pregnant on purpose was a mistake." I said aloud."Don't say that! A child is a blessing." Marv exclaimed."I know Marv but I think I'm about to have a child for the wrong man." I sulked."Told you so." She muttered. My eyes snapped up to the screen. "Really Marv?" I frowned."You know I'll always tell you the truth. This man does not deserve you." She shrugged.I let out a long sigh. She was absolutely right. What the heck was I thinking in the first place? "Well why didn't you stop me from going through with this?" I accused cause I needed someone to blame for my silliness."Like you ever listen to me." She rolled her eyes with a scoff."I wish I did." I sulked once again. I wasn't ready for any of this. Not ready to be a
